“Did you say you are from the Pung-u Merchant Guild?” “I did.” “Please, this way. Right this way!” Yoo-ha followed the owner into the inner office. Hwi moved to follow, but Yoo-ha raised a hand to stop him, leaving him alone with the clerk. Left to his own devices, Hwi turned to the man. “What is this 'Pung-u Merchant Guild'?” “You’ve never heard of them?” the clerk asked, incredulous. “I am asking because I do not know.” “Are you not…- 19.8 K • Ongoing
- Ye-hwi, reading the report by the flickering light of the candle Geon-seo had brought, easily grasped the warrior’s meaning and looked up. “No. That would only invite trouble.” “Pardon? Are the people of this house mistreating you, Your Highness?” “No. Quite the opposite.” “Sir?” Hwi considered the reality of the annex. Not long ago, because the portion of porridge for the ailing nanny seemed insufficient, Yong-rae had scooped a single extra ladle of…

- The annex where Seong Yoo-ha resided had been built for summer use, and as such, it was tucked away in a deep, shaded hollow. Unlike the main house, where a variety of seasonal flowers ensured a constant display of blooms, the few plants surrounding the annex blossomed briefly in the heat of summer before withering away. In truth, the lack of flowers was not the problem. Because the annex was so poorly maintained, thick weeds had begun to choke out even the highly surviving flora. Yong-rae and the…

- “That man only did it because he was ordered to. If I stir up trouble for no reason, the only people who will suffer are those around me.” “What do you mean?” “I mean that I cannot be by Yong-rae’s, Nanny’s, or your side every hour of the day.” Hwi’s eyes narrowed. Did that mean the bastards of the main house harassed the annex servants the moment Yoo-ha’s back was turned? “Shall I order one more?” Hwi watched Yoo-ha in silence. The man sat…

- "I need to go to the market." "Yeah." "……Hwi, I said I need to go to the market." "I heard you." Yoo-ha sighed inwardly, preparing to explain that he intended for Hwi to follow him. However, Yong-rae, returning from the perimeter wall after finishing the laundry, was a step faster. "You half-wit bastard! What do you mean 'I heard you'?! Obviously, you're supposed to escort the Young Master there and back! And who lies sprawled out like that in front of their master? Get…

- "Oh, Young Master Yoo-ha." The memory was still bitter. On a day of heavy rain, Yoo-ha’s half-sister, Seong So-yoon, had suddenly demanded a snack and sent Yoo-ha’s nanny out to the market to fetch it. She had an army of her own servants to command; Yoo-ha had burned with the urge to demand why she had specifically targeted his elderly nanny, but his position was too precarious to risk such a confrontation. The nanny had trudged to the market in the downpour, only to slip on the…

We get stuck in the swamp of confirmation bias, planning and analyzing only in the direction we want to hear. That's why in our world, we recommended periodically resetting the nanobots after a certain period of time. But resetting nanobots already tailored to oneself isn't easy. Was that the case for Hoiga too? Is that why he's in this stupid state now? The reason for this suspicion was that I suddenly received a letter this morning. 'If you want the price of the wager, you only get one chance.…- 305.8 K • Ongoing
Before he could finish, Wolf's face turned pale. At some point, Black Weasel was glaring at him. The sight, reminiscent of a vicious interrogator blocking the path of a prisoner, made Silver's scalp tingle. He tried to say something but stopped himself. Telling him to back off wouldn't work; Black Weasel wouldn't even pretend to listen. Instead of wasting time appeasing that bastard, it was better to think of a plan for when the exorcism failed. No matter what, he needed to secure multiple escape…- 121.6 K • Ongoing
- A naked man suddenly teared through the fog. A long, sharp spear pierced through his lower body, protruding from his wide-open mouth. His face bore three eyes. Both side eyes were closed, while the single eye in the center of his forehead glared wide open. It was a 'Bone Stake', something Silver had seen only three or four times in his entire life. While ordinary tribes typically adorned their bows with animal heads, the ships of the Stoll royal family were different. Guarding the bow was an ominous…

- Silver and Black Weasel flinched simultaneously. Red Eagle stammered. Black Weasel rubbed his chin, murmuring, "Ah... Hmm..." before smiling brightly. Red Eagle's eyes went completely blank. Wolf covered his mouth with both hands like a monk seeing a female nude painting for the first time. Silver said flatly. Wolf's voice trailed off. Black Weasel raised one eyebrow. Silver, too, grew tense. The flow of the waves against the oar was slowing. The white currents that had risen…
