To Dennis, Vittorio momentarily felt like a butcher. In fact, he looked very skilled. Vittorio poked at the corpse that, until just a moment ago, had been called 'Laurent' with the tip of his foot. Kicks that were no different from venting anger followed. Even after Laurent's limbs had gone completely limp, he did not stop the assault. Laurent, tumbling on the floor, was a pitiful sight. Without taking his eyes off Laurent's body, Vittorio asked Dennis. "Why didn't you resist?" Dennis twisted his…- 102.4 K • Completed
- Laurent abruptly intruded into the hollow line drawn between the students and himself. Dennis even felt a faint sense of kinship with him. Vittorio was a god, Laurent a human. If Vittorio's dance grabbed the audience by the scruff of the neck and slammed them into the realm of art, Laurent, though less seasoned in comparison, earnestly expressed a refined beauty. "Remitte." "...Yes?" "I liked your dance because it was human." Laurent's eyes widened in seeming bewilderment. Dennis pushed…

The martial arts of the Great Madu, Sahyeol Amje, were astonishing and brilliant beyond imagination. Everyone in the market square had their eyes drawn to the petals that had begun to bloom out of nowhere. Children gathered in small groups raised their heads and pointed at the sky. Pink petals spread out elegantly, covering the clear blue sky. A few drifting petals landed gently on the shoulder of a woman in silk robes, and light laughter burst out from all around. A peddler selling trinkets laughed…- 253.5 K • Completed
- “Do more, Ahyeong.” Once Sahyeol Amje began seducing him in earnest, there was no way he could resist. His jaw tensed, and veins rose along the line of his slender neck. From Seolyeong’s perspective, Tang Yujae seemed like a man with a truly remarkable talent for temptation. A man who could control hearts with a single glance, a single gesture, it made sense he would live as the god of tens of thousands of sect members. The one known as the greatest talent alive, the man who had reached the…

- After the eight pavilion heads left. Tang Yujae stepped out of Akbindang, he was working through his backlog of affairs in Haeseong Pavilion when he felt a spring-like warmth brushing over him. The midday heat seemed to pass directly through his skin, and he found the sensation oddly pleasant. He set aside his inkstone and turned toward the back. Sure enough, a delicate beauty with red eyes was perched on the window ledge. With a gentle smile, Yujae spoke. “That gold hairpin suits…

- Though the two had been enjoying peaceful time together, their marital affection was cut short by Seolyeong’s insistence. He remembered Yeoso’s tired face when he asked him to convince Cheonsin, and besides, he wanted to carry out his duties as the Gyo-mo faithfully. “Please listen to me, husband. If you keep following me around like this, what will you do if people start calling you a halfwit husband?” “I’ll rip out the tongues of anyone who says that.” “Absolutely not! I hate the…

- Those who were going to leave had left. Those who were going to stay remained. A few days after saying goodbye to Choseon, Seolyeong began writing a letter to his sister. Their marriage had been so loud and extravagant that rumors must have already spread across the entire Jungwon. Originally, as he had told Choseon, Seolyeong had wanted to live as if he no longer existed to Hyeon, but perhaps because they were bound by blood, it wasn’t so easy. As Seolhyeon’s wedding day drew near, Seolyeong’s…

- In the end, Choseon accepted Seolyeong’s request. Standing beside the Mad Bride, he took his steps in rhythm with the lively music played by the musicians. The boisterous sound filled Sipman Daesan, especially Yeonhu Mountain where the Yurigung stood. The spirited sound of the guzheng roused excitement, and the sect members carrying the red palanquin all began to chant in unison. “Ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand years more!” “Idiots. If you’re going to chant, you might…

- The balance of power between the two friends had completely reversed. Day after day, Choseon wept over Yuwon. With the woman who had felt like the last ray of hope in Yeonhu Mountain now gone, he no longer felt any reason to remain. But since his friend’s wedding was soon, Choseon resolved to hold out a little longer. Without his experienced help, Seolyeong seemed unlikely to manage the preparations properly. “You blind bastard. You really think jadeite suits you better than white jade?” But no…

- Only recently did the ruler of Jungwon understand why he had felt neither thrill nor satisfaction when trampling over the martial world. A sense of peace he had never found even after piling mountains of corpses was now flooding his life. The hollow space inside him, once like an empty shell, now bore the footprints of his reckless bride. Following those tracks, he would always find the face of his smiling wife turned back toward him. It felt like all the senses he had long forgotten were returning to…
