“No! Stopstopstopstopstop… I won’t let you get away with this.” A crackling, faint shape hissed the warning as it gnawed on its own fingers hard enough to draw blood. But Lee Hyunmook turned away without hesitation and smashed the next collection piece before setting it on fire. Yoon Seungryong whistled with a smirk. “Damn. That’s cold.” Ju Hoyoung stomped his feet in fury as he watched his beloved treasures, which he’d collected with such care, get destroyed. He screamed and…- 297.5 K • Completed
- Drawn by that voice, they ended up at the ceremony celebrating the returnees of the Abyss. Other corrupted gave almost identical testimony to the woman’s. “They mistook corruption for awakening.” “In some ways, it did make them stronger.” Lee Hyunmook accepted that calmly. Corruption twisted both flesh and spirit. It resembled mutation caused by radiation or chemicals, but unlike ordinary mutation, it remained endlessly unnatural, a process that trapped living creatures in unending pain.…

- “Sparrow…” At the soft mumble, the hazy focus in Yoon Seungryong’s eyes, dimmed by memory, slowly returned. His gaze drifted to Yang Yohan, sound asleep beside Lee Hyunmook inside the tree. Yohan mumbled something unintelligible and then let out a slow, peaceful breath. Seungryong and Ju Hoyoung stretched their necks, peering into the hollow of the ancient tree. Just as Yohan had visibly relaxed upon seeing them, they, too, seemed to let their guard down only after confirming he’d returned…

- *** When Yohan stirred with a contented sigh and slowly opened his eyes, what he saw was the obsidian cave. No–this wasn’t obsidian. It was… an Eternal Stone cavern, the hardest material in the world. Panic gripped him as he looked around, wide-eyed. ‘Hyunmook-hyung definitely rescued me… so why am I back here?’ Hadn’t he pierced through the ceiling and pulled him out? Then why was he here again? Had he been dragged back while sleeping? Terrified, Yohan desperately reminded himself:…

Jian Chengxi continued cooking the meat in the pot and said, "My husband is from the Underground City." The bearded man was stunned for a moment. "Your family is studying in a school in Sky City?" Jian Chengxi sensed a bit of danger and could only make up something. "Uh... then I got divorced and remarried to Sky City." The bearded man looked at him with a somewhat subtle gaze. "Then you must be a poor soul." After all, he remarried, but he was still from the Underground City, and then marrying…- 853.5 K • Completed
After helping him finishing by hand, Riarun collapsed onto the bed as if he had been stripped bare and tormented all over. His lips, parted wide in exhaustion, panted for breath. “Did you like it?” The question was blatantly direct, yet carried a hint of tenderness, making it all the more embarrassing. Riarun, whose nape had flushed crimson, bit his lip and nodded rapidly. Looking at Riarun’s thoroughly undone state—like someone who had been vigorously penetrated and made to…- 183.7 K • Completed
- Yohan’s timid heart shrank, even though Lee Hyunmook hadn’t used a threatening tone at all. Hunching his shoulders, he bit his lip and slowly pulled off his shirt. The last time Lee Hyunmook treated the wound on his leg, he’d shown no mercy no matter how much Yohan cried or screamed. Now, imagining him taking the same approach to carve out some corrupted flesh on his back, Yohan was already in tears. Sniffling, he removed his pants too, curling up in just his underwear. The Abyss was cold, and he…

- They said regeneration weakens with corruption, but he was still a high-level awakener. He wouldn’t die from just any injury. Logically, Yohan thought maybe he should run away from the now-mad Lee Hyunmook. But his heart wouldn’t let him. What moved him wasn’t fear, it was deep sympathy and gratitude toward Lee Hyunmook. Yohan cried not because he was scared, but because he was overwhelmed by emotion for Lee Hyunmook. That was how he finally reached him. “Hic… huuh….” Then he…

- The sound of frantic eating was loud. But this time it was not because of Yoon Seungryong’s endless gluttony. “Eat a lot! There’s food everywhere!” Yang Yohan shouted in satisfaction. There were piles of food taken from nearby convenience stores and markets, and stacks of bottled water. The team members, who saw proper food and water for the first time in a month, lost their composure. They threw themselves at it without even saying thank you. The ramen boiled in broth, meat, sweet canned…

- To gather ingredients, the two of them returned to their shelter. On the way back, Yohan stopped by a rice field he had taken note of earlier. Sure enough, the plants there were squirming vigorously, some appeared sentient, others seemed highly poisonous. Buoyed by the success of purifying the apple, Yohan exclaimed, “There might be some decent leafy greens to eat here. If we’re going to lure Mr. Yoon Seungryong, we should prepare a proper spread.” “Alright. Then stay here for a…
