“Oh my goodness! Thank You, Lord, thank you so, so much….” “Yohan-aah!” Kim Yejoo, who had been standing there in a daze, burst into tears and ran toward her son. Yang Yohan, who had been staring at the two with his mouth open, finally burst into tears after Kim Yejoo embraced him. “Mom… hic!” “Yohan! Yohan…! My son! My baby!” The moment Yohan came face-to-face with the parents he had missed so desperately for the past year, all the fear and hardship he had endured came…- 297.5 K • Completed
The day of the Prayer Assembly arrived quickly. That day, the sky was heavily overcast, with dark clouds looming like an invading army at the horizon, casting an uneasy mood. Major cities in the Federation were equipped with weather control systems, but this technology was particularly advanced—not based on traditional central air conditioning theories but derived from the mysterious chaotic systems of the ancient civilization. As early as the era of slavery, people could control urban weather…- 513.7 K • Completed
- The "Gate" was a concept from the dark ancient civilization, representing madness, bloodshed, and ignorance. This was a form of large-scale sacrificial ritual. During the Great Dark Age, sacrifices were categorized in countless ways. Some nations used corpses as road markers across vast stretches of land, while others would slaughter everyone important to them—the more brutal, the better—in hopes of generating some form of intense, agonizing energy to resonate with the deeper darkness. They went to…

- Wei An chose the best guest room. At this moment, the room was bathed in the dim light of dawn. The decor was simple and comfortable, the floor polished to a mirror-like shine. The living room window took up an entire wall, and there was a large balcony overlooking the murmuring river below. Though no one would actually be staying here, Wei An had meticulously prepared everything that should be available. "You'll stay in this room," he said to Gui Ling. "Everything you need is here. Take a shower…

- In Wei An's imagination, when he finally settled into a peaceful retirement, his dreams should have been filled with idyllic scenes of nature, countryside, and leisurely parties. But reality was far from it. His dreams were bloody and fragmented, filled with explosions, blood, death, screams, and charred corpses. Tonight was no different, except for the addition of Dexin Ming. The man appeared as he had when Wei An last saw him at a banquet long ago—young, dressed in understated luxury, trying…

- Wei An became the person in charge of this incident within his department simply because transferring responsibility would have been too troublesome. Bureaucratic institutions are always like this—unless absolutely necessary, they won't make last-minute changes to personnel in charge. Whether the task is good or bad, a lucrative opportunity or something that devolves into a disaster, such changes inevitably lead to complicated interpersonal dynamics and subsequent accountability issues. In any…

- Thinking about these things, Wei An felt another headache coming on. No one knew what the ancient civilization was truly like or why it had developed such a terrifying scientific system. This vast empire had long since died out. Yet the shadow it cast was so eerie and ancient, impossible to dispel. During that chaotic and prolonged era, interstellar travel capabilities became strictly controlled privileges, gradually lost over time. Amidst it all, there was always the presence of supreme deities…

- Wei An thought he wouldn't sleep well tonight, but in reality, it wasn't much worse than usual. He dreamed of an endless building filled with monotonous corridors, turns, and sealed windows. The walls bore small, neat frames displaying perfectly empty landscapes. Occasionally, he'd come across large splashes of blood and dismembered limbs, all ancient. He knew there was no exit, yet he kept walking blindly. But perhaps he had wandered too deep into this barren dream. The corridors always hid…

- After finishing his meal, Wei An made himself a cup of tea and began browsing the news, replying to various messages in his inbox. The situation outside was about what he had expected. The approximate death toll from Silver Bay had been released, all the necessary parties had made their statements, and conspiracy theories were flying everywhere. The Federation's upper echelons had finalized the person responsible for investigating the Silver Bay incident, who was now en route to Taoyuan. Wei An…

- The sky had already brightened, and birds of various colors chirped noisily in the garden. A butler robot slid over and handed Wei An a glass of juice, reminding him to pay attention to his health—especially his intake of vitamins and minerals—as this glass of juice contained everything he needed for the day. Wei An took it and drank it. This was part of his routine. The juice recipe was extremely complex, and many of his local friends drank it, claiming it was healthy and good for…
