Yohan had always been timid, but after going through the Abyss once, rifts no longer looked frightening to him. Compared to the Abyss, with its sticky, heavy, unpleasant air, with no day or night, with sly and malicious monsters swarming everywhere, this place was livable enough. It was dim and reddish like it was filled with smog, but the sky was still visible and the sun still rose. Seo Yakrin stood at the very front, and Lee Hyunmook at the very back, leading the nervous rookies forward. Since they…- 297.5 K • Completed
August 19, 2035, cloudy. I seem to have inadvertently stumbled across the company's secret. August 20, 2035, cloudy. I shouldn't get involved—it's dangerous. I'm about to marry her soon. I've even picked out our marital home. 76323, our fated, ideal home, is still waiting for us. I shouldn't get involved. August 21, 2035, cloudy. I dug up that set of The Complete Works of Jin Yong the old man gave me when I was a kid. Still love that line the most: A true hero is one who…- 141.2 K • Completed
Why? I pointed with my chin toward the direction of the noise. “The scouts who left days ago still haven't returned, and now they even send reinforcements. It must be quite serious if they have to pull soldiers from this post.” “Oh, um...” My guess hit the mark. Rick looked at me with a mix of flustered confusion. “I am only like this because I nearly died,” I added. “Ah, yes...” Rick still appeared nervous, but I felt no desire to play the role of Lu just to reassure him.…- 323.4 K • Completed
“Um……” My mind was not very clear. But I felt I should let someone know I had woken up, so I called the caregiver. The woman who had been reading a book stood up and came over. The caregiver with a slender face was making a very startled expression. “You woke up?” “Yes.” “Thank goodness. Thank goodness. No, instead of this, I should tell the nurse. Wait a moment.” The caregiver whose eyes were brimming with tears ran out of the room. I was a little surprised because…- 281.3 K • Completed
On the first day the convoy stopped in Dunhuang, the weather was exceptionally fine. The autumn sunlight draped lavishly over the wilderness, the azure sky fading from the zenith toward the horizon, the yellow sand in the distance taking on an ambiguous pale hue—the boundary between sky and land was almost tender. After the Golden Week holiday, the tourist crowds at Mingsha Mountain had thinned. The desert was vast and boundless, like endless ocean waves. The convoy disbanded at the entrance of the…- 63.1 K • Completed
- The man with a gaunt and gentle face resembled the Baek family so much that even a stranger could tell he belonged to them. His eyes were sharp too. But that was because of drugs. According to Baek Yeongseop, he lost money gambling and he also used drugs. “My name is Baek Gyeongbin. My grandfather’s name is Baek, Jingyun, and he is Chairman Baek Jinseok’s younger brother.” As I remembered, Baek Gyeongbin revealed his name and then recited his connection to Baek Jinseok. People turned their…

- If the truth was examined, Kim Juhyeon’s lie would be exposed, but that would make things too noisy. I wanted to handle it as quietly as possible, like what was common in a chaebol family. I didn’t care if people said I couldn’t manage my subordinates. But I didn’t want to see or suffer Baek Jaehan or Im Songyoon picking a fight using that as a pretext. The best method was to leave it to Baek Mugyeong. Unlike me, who had no real voice because of an arranged marriage, Baek Mugyeong had…

- It couldn’t be that they were just picking a fight because they couldn’t stand him living well, eating well, and playing well, could it? Surely not? The professor’s attitude was far too serious for just that. Even Jeong Mok, who should have been stopping this situation, was going along with it. “Vice Chairman Jeong, as you know, there is a right time for studying. The later it gets, the more learning ability declines. Especially when it comes to basic academics.” The nagging began again,…

- “Where should I go?” “The second floor.” The place Baek Mugyeong pointed to was a staircase leading up. A banner announcing the special exhibition was hanging on the wall beside the stairs. “Excuse me, I have something to say. It’s about going abroad. Not now, later. Before we go back.” I brought it up with the mindset of wanting to get it over with, like ripping off a bandaid. Today, I had something I needed to say to him. I couldn’t just be the one getting notified all the…

- The homeroom teacher adjusted his glasses with a displeased look upon seeing Jion still wearing his bag. “Chae Jion, are you late again?” “No! The bell rang as soon as I entered the classroom. I’m not late.” “How many times have I told you that counts as being late? Hm?” Since the time when ghosts were most active was the hour of the rat, from 11 PM to 1 AM, whenever Jion encountered a ghost, he would always fall asleep after that time had passed. Naturally, since he was so…
