Baek Jaehan did not want Baek Mugyeong to gain power through marriage with a well-connected family. So when the chairman of the Daesong Group asked him to look into a marriage partner for Baek Mugyeong, he found me. My background was nothing special, just a modest mid-sized company, and my biological father’s declining business certainly wouldn’t have caught the chairman’s eye. But the Jeong family bloodline had one special trait. Direct-line omegas were guaranteed to give birth to alphas…- 281.3 K • Completed
- Baek Mugyeong didn’t question anything further. Instead, he politely asked Jeong Guhyeon to move his car. When Jeong Guhyeon reversed the Audi, Baek Mugyeong calmly drove away. As soon as he was gone, Jeong Guhyeon, who had parked haphazardly in front of the underground garage entrance, exploded. “Hey! What the hell?! Why’d you make me look like a complete fucking idiot? You should’ve told me he was the Executive Director of DS Motors!” “I did say it was Baek Mugyeong.” “Baek…

- Epilogue 1 In early March 2010, He Fei's grandfather passed away. Overnight, He Fei felt he had truly grown up. By the end of March, He Fei narrowly escaped death. Originally, he and three colleagues had gone to Tianjin for a bidding meeting. Before departure, they drank, and He Fei accidentally had too much. He was stuffed into the back seat by his colleagues when they set off. The car crashed on the Beijing-Tianjin Expressway—the two colleagues in the front seats died on the spot, while He Fei and…

- The warm tea had been served, but my biological father’s well-wishes went on for quite a while. He fussed, saying he felt relieved seeing the two of us getting along, that he had a feeling we’d be hearing some good news soon. I gave half-hearted responses. My stepmother watched the mood and threw in a few indifferent remarks. Baek Mugyeong didn’t touch his tea and sat silently. It was my stepmother who finally got to the point after the small talk. “Minchae.” “Yes.” “I heard…

“Months, or years?” Yohan grew despondent at the vast, unfathomable length of time, but he forced himself to stay positive. If he hadn’t met Lee Hyunmook, he would’ve been shredded to death by that murderous eyeball monster. He needed to be thankful just to be alive. “Yes, Mr. Lee Hyunmook! Let’s hang in there together!” When Yohan spoke with renewed spirit, Hyunmook stared at him blankly, as if watching some alien lifeform moving in an unfamiliar way. Truthfully, even in his sane…- 297.5 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…

- Yohan poured as much purification into Lee Hyunmook as he could while running. Even as he did, monstrous shrieks echoed from all directions, and heavy impacts thudded against the ice walls. In the blink of an eye, they had covered half the distance to their target through the ice corridor. But the real problem came next. Before they could break all the way through, the ice wall came crashing down. Monsters of unidentifiable origin howled as they poured into the corridor. “Yohan-gun!” As Lee…

- Wasn’t the first subway barely enough to fill half the tunnel? But now, it looked like it filled nearly two-thirds. He couldn’t tell when it had gotten so big. Paaaang! The sound of it barreling toward them was deafening. Lee Hyunmook, who had been staring sharply at the subway, gauged the distance between the wall and the subway, then leapt. Yohan’s arms, wrapped tightly around Lee Hyunmook’s neck, tensed. Lee Hyunmook climbed using the grooves in the wall and hung from the ceiling.…

- “Him?” Yohan tilted his head, confused. He often watched documentaries, vlogs, and clips about the Sunrise Team. Yoon Seungryong had always come across as a cheerful, active, and diligent person, maybe a bit of a punk, sure, but definitely not lazy. He wasn’t sure about the appetite part, but he didn’t seem like the slothful type at all. Lee Hyunmook reminded him of a key detail.“Yohan, you know how corruption amplifies negative traits, right?” “Ah, yes. I’ve heard…

- “Aren’t you curious?” “About what?” “Why do you think I went out of my way to find you?” “You dug up my identity, got a sex tape, harassed me, and had your fun with me in bed. Seems like you’ve done everything you wanted.” “…” “What else do you want? There’s more? I’m too tired for a bathroom round. Plus, everyone can hear in there.” Lear sighed at Yohan’s question. “An FBI agent with such bad instincts…” “What, you jerk?” “Has your…
