The awkward silence was broken by an urgent knock at the door. “Master! Are you alright?” It was the coachman’s voice. Only then did Sharhan, who had instinctively stepped back, return to his seat. Lestel opened the carriage door. “What is it?” “I’m sorry. We were almost there, but an addict ran into the road, and we had to stop suddenly. Are you unharmed?” Beyond the open door, an addict was being dragged away by the gambling hall’s guards. Around gambling dens, it was…- 264.3 K • Completed
- It had already been hundreds of years since the fall of the ancient empire. About a hundred years ago, the emperor of the time officially announced that all the monsters sealed in Luhas were dead. The citizens of the empire, who had secretly feared the monsters might break free one day, rejoiced. “It was the Lord of Luhas who made the report that the monsters were all dead. The imperial family never actually sent anyone to confirm it.” “You’re saying the Lord of Luhas might have…

- “Who?” “Curious? You must be dying to know, since you’re so damn obsessed with me.” “Yeah, so go ahead. Who did you run away for? Risking the possibility of losing your heirship if you didn’t come back?” “Aww, honey, are you worried about me?” “It’s not worry. It’s called curiosity. Who are you looking for?” Lestel’s green eyes narrowed as he suddenly leaned in close. Sharhan nearly flinched hard enough for his heart to leap out of his chest, almost punching…

- “Did you forget you signed that magic contract with a blood seal? I bet the mark is still perfectly visible.” Sharhan tapped his left chest. “It’s not like it can’t be broken. I’ll go beg him. Maybe if I get on my knees, he’ll feel sorry enough to let it go?” “Forget it. I know him, he’d never cancel it. So just take care of your knees. You said they’ve been acting up lately, didn’t you? You’ve still got a few more years left in you as a mercenary. I’ll handle the…

- “When did it start?” “It’s been about an hour.” Where Lestel’s gaze fell, a boy lay trembling as if in a seizure, his bloodshot eyes staring blankly into the air. His cracked, pale lips and skin as dry as parched earth made his suffering obvious. When Lestel reached out and touched the boy’s forehead, he clicked his tongue. It had only been a light touch, but the heat was so intense it startled him. “The seizure intervals are getting shorter.” “What did Yuel…

- The question of why they were meeting an informant at a gambling hall was soon answered. “Oh ho, pretty ones really do flock together. A beautiful lady arriving with a handsome merchant, she must be…” Just as the man was eyeing Sharhan up and down and trying to make small talk, Lestel kicked his chair. The man, who nearly toppled over with the chair, only chuckled as if he found it amusing. He looked to be around thirty, wore rings on every finger, and had earrings, bracelets, and a necklace.…

“Pop!” The bottle cap of the soda twisted off with a soft sound. That historical drama was already on its second episode. He’d missed a bit of the plot. When Zhou Langxing asked if they should rewind, he said it didn’t matter. Zhou Langxing set down the remote, and casually remarked, “You were in there for so long. If I didn’t know you went to the kitchen, I’d have thought you fell into the toilet. I was even thinking whether I should go look for you.” Qin Yan ignored how lame the…- 132.6 K • Completed
Chapter 62 – Flower-Lined Paths and Willow-Shaded Lanes Vengeance! Vengeance! That single thought pounded in Yan Xin’s chest like a second heartbeat. The Yu Jue Guard had once told him, no matter how storm-wracked and dark Yingzhou became, as long as a spark burned within one’s heart, one could endure any bitter cold. But Yan Xin knew well—what burned in his chest now was not the flame the Yu Jue Guard spoke of. This was the fire of hatred, fierce enough to consume his entire being. In…- 450.2 K • Completed
“Oh? Yeah, yeah.” Whatever it was, her voice sounded grave. Moonhyuk instinctively matched her seriousness and nodded solemnly. “It’s not because I’m studying. It’s because of this game I’ve been playing lately. My mom keeps watching me until nighttime… so I’ve been staying up late and sneaking in playtime. That’s why I keep dozing off during the day.” Ah… so it’s not because of studying? Not studying, gaming. So, a game. “Ahh…” “But I’m still keeping up…- 239.0 K • Completed
“Why?” Meng Chuan looked like he hadn’t expected rejection. He froze for a moment, his expression shifting slightly. He lowered his voice and asked, “Did I do something wrong? Am I worse than the person I was before?” “No,” Wen Zhongyi avoided his gaze. “Then why can’t you accept me?” Meng Chuan stared at him. “Is it because I said or did something wrong before?” “It’s not because of that.” Wen Zhongyi frowned slightly. “Get up first.” But Meng Chuan stayed…- 144.9 K • Completed
