A heavy, black wooden door. Perhaps because it was as simple as Doctor Kim's office door, I remembered the first time I'd fallen here and met her. I wasn't this nervous back then, damn it. I could more or less predict how Doctor Kim would react, but Tairok was different. I couldn’t guess how he’d respond, and that was what made my stomach churn. Phew. I took a deep breath, and the door before me finally moved. "Your Grace, Adeye Lu has arrived." Rick introduced me and turned around. I…- 309.3 K • Ongoing
“Ha, ha…! Go away! Why, why are you following me?!” Harto scrambled around, desperate to get away from the dog. He tried squeezing himself between pieces of furniture, but hesitated, afraid that something like a huge bug might crawl out from inside. Maybe he should’ve just stayed in that glass bottle instead. But when the dog started licking at the bottle from the inside, that plan went out the window too. In the end, Harto was stuck playing tag with a dog. He ran as fast as he could, using…- 199.7 K • Ongoing
“It’s blocked?” Lestel pressed himself tightly against the wall and guided Sharhan’s hand forward so he could feel it for himself. Just as Lestel said, the passage was blocked. They had reached the end of the tunnel. Realizing that, Sharhan’s heart pounded loudly. He was afraid of what might lie beyond, of where this would lead, but also excited. “This looks like the end.” Sharhan tried to sound calm, but the faint tremor in his voice betrayed the excitement he was struggling…- 264.3 K • Completed
- “I heard you haven’t eaten in a while. Is the food not to your liking?” Kilu’s voice, heard for the first time in several days, was as gentle as ever. As he spoke, he set a tray with an elegant plate down in front of Hoiga. It was a kind gesture, but Hoiga stared down at the plate with a pale face.…

A cloud cast shadows over the mountains and river. The river water reflected the ash-gray sky, the great mountain, and the ferry boat as clearly as a well-polished mirror. It was a warm day for winter. Silver yawned as he rowed. Across the way, Wolf and Red Eagle were chattering. Silver looked up at the sky. Judging by the sun's position, it would be dusk soon. "Haaaaam." Silver yawned again and frowned. For some reason, ever since waking up, the taste of blood lingered in his…- 123.2 K • Ongoing
- The inn was one Allen had stayed at before. It was a four-story building, large in size and full of noise as if guests never stopped coming. The group took rooms on the third floor. Zed and Harto shared one room, and Allen and Leon shared another. The room was smaller than the one they had stayed in at Belnok and had no sofa, but it was clean. There were even two beds. Thump. As soon as Harto entered, he dropped onto the floor. Before coming in, he thought he could still endure, but once he…

“Did you have a nightmare?”Khalid spoke gently, stroking Yudit’s back. Yudit, drenched in sweat, nodded. “I was being chased… by Reginald and Hiore… Then the palace corridor started writhing like it was alive…” The words came out scattered and breathless in his dazed state. Khalid pulled him into a firm embrace, patting his back. “You’re okay now. You’re safe. I’m here.” Yudit’s erratic breathing slowly calmed under Khalid’s steady hand. Once he felt Yudith has…- 396.9 K • Completed
Seolyeong, dazed, quietly trailed after Yang Seogyeong and Yeoso. He was just getting into his stride, stumbling along as he expanded his gyeonggong, when the ground began to shake beneath him. Something invisible clung to his feet like a spiderweb, pulling at each step. It was obvious. Sahyeol Amje had triggered a quake on purpose to block his approach. Seolyeong already knew that bastard was doing everything he could to sever ties with him, but this hit especially hard. If Sahyeol Amje needed to…- 253.5 K • Completed
“Meal time for prisoner number 1004.” A stiff voice came from beyond the locked iron door. Moments later, the narrow slot beneath the door opened, and a wooden tray pushed through, holding a loaf of bread and a bowl of water. Only after confirming that the guard's footsteps had completely faded did I reach for the bread. Beneath it lay a red letter. Without hesitation, I set the bread down and picked up the letter. Rip─ Something small and light tumbled out of the roughly torn envelope.…- 180.0 K • Ongoing
After finishing the press conference, Yeorok headed for Incheon Airport. About eight hours had passed since Eunho had left first. He went through departure procedures and boarded his flight. After a full fourteen hours of travel, he arrived at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. While crossing the jet bridge, Yeorok immediately called Eunho. He had told Eunho to contact him when he arrived, but their flight times overlapped, and they missed each other. Eunho would understand the situation, but even then,…- 238.1 K • Completed
