Seolyeong, dazed, quietly trailed after Yang Seogyeong and Yeoso. He was just getting into his stride, stumbling along as he expanded his gyeonggong, when the ground began to shake beneath him. Something invisible clung to his feet like a spiderweb, pulling at each step. It was obvious. Sahyeol Amje had triggered a quake on purpose to block his approach. Seolyeong already knew that bastard was doing everything he could to sever ties with him, but this hit especially hard. If Sahyeol Amje needed to…- 253.5 K • Completed
“Meal time for prisoner number 1004.” A stiff voice came from beyond the locked iron door. Moments later, the narrow slot beneath the door opened, and a wooden tray pushed through, holding a loaf of bread and a bowl of water. Only after confirming that the guard's footsteps had completely faded did I reach for the bread. Beneath it lay a red letter. Without hesitation, I set the bread down and picked up the letter. Rip─ Something small and light tumbled out of the roughly torn envelope.…- 180.0 K • Ongoing
The stench, like that of rotting corpses littering the field, made him feel sick. That night came back to him after so long. Fire licking at the window frame. His mother lying face-down on the floor. A huge man approaching while holding an axe dripping with blood. ‘You. Are you this woman’s child?’ Wolf couldn't speak. He stared at Silver without blinking for a long moment before saying, Silver turned away. *** "Hey. Face me." Silver waved at…- 119.9 K • Ongoing
Fortunately, Odan's explanation quickly moved on. "Their intended method was drowning. If successful, it would have been a surefire way. Winged monsters... no matter how powerful a Kremlis might be... they can't swim." Kaelus was his usual self. He spoke in a voice lowered just enough that one had to concentrate to notice. "...Among the treasures passed down through the imperial family for generations is Julan's heart. It's said Julan personally gave it to the next emperor after the founding…- 171.8 K • Completed
- The outer walls and ceiling of the meeting hall were torn apart as a massive lump-like thing crashed down. Tortan quickly got up and pressed himself against the opposite wall. The nobles scrambled about, tripping over each other or crawling on the floor. Then. The lump raised its head and roared. Grrr! "A... a monster!" The creature, resembling a giant toad, opened its mouth wide. It had a short tongue, but instead, rows of saw-like teeth were aligned in triple layers. The nobles'…

“Harto…Harto….” Each time Zed called his name, his lips would descend on various parts of Harto's face. He would shower his lips with kisses, scattering them over his round, smooth forehead, his tear-streaked eyelashes, his flushed cheeks, and the bridge of his nose. The kiss, which was a mixture of affection and longing for Harto, was so heartbreaking that it made his heart ache. “Zed….” Harto held his trembling breath while looking at him. His blue eyes, brimming with tears…- 199.7 K • Ongoing
- It was fine. I was already familiar with failed love. ……After my parents passed away, I went through what you might call a long period of wandering. I quit swimming and school altogether. After spending a year that felt like my memory had flown away, I came to my senses and realized I was already well past twenty. I was still stuck in the past, in that momentary guilt. Everything except me treated me as an adult. I readily accepted it. I worked part-time during the day and drifted…

“Is Khalid going too?” “Yes. I need to return to the capital as well, there’s something I have to look into.” Yudit stared quietly at Khalid. He was trying to judge whether he was lying. Of course, he would be glad if Khalid came with him, but at the same time, he didn’t want Khalid to abandon his own territory just to follow him to the capital. “If it’s because of me, you don’t have to. You should protect your own domain, Khalid.” “The ones guarding the border are all…- 396.9 K • Completed
Yohan, right after he treated the people on the island, released the energy that had been waiting inside his body. The formless energy spread far like a fish in water. Now he understood why awakeners compared this to a river current. He was the spring, and when the water from this spring pooled inside someone with a proper vessel, that person became an awakener. Not long after that, just two days ago, a low-level purifier awakened. The government immediately signed a contract and pushed him into the…- 297.5 K • Completed
- “Pavron. It’s been a while.” “May I sit with you?” Pavron, holding bread and milk, spoke. Yudit nodded and made space for him. “Of course. Sit here.” He had been wondering how Pavron was doing, so this was a welcome encounter. “Pavron, how have you been?” “I’ve been well. The days trapped in the tower feel like a dream now. Though I do still have nightmares of being captured again from time to time.” Pavron said it jokingly, but Yudit couldn’t bring himself to…
