Chapter 3 – From the Depths of Prison Cang Mountain bore the snow, with a full moon rising and falling among its peaks. The wind and snow raged as two swift horses cut through the crushed white grass, tearing open the night. A young man in black robes rode against the wind, shouting from afar, “‘King Yama,’ stop right there!” The black steed was immensely strong, and the distance between the two gradually closed. Fang Jingyu could vaguely make out the man’s figure, backlit by silver…- 450.2 K • Completed
Yeom Seunghan kept the man’s face pinned in place and jerked his chin at the one he’d just ordered to bring the blade. What he pointed to was a small knife used by physicians in the medical hall to trim herbs. Though it was always kept sharp for medicinal use, it was never meant to cut through human flesh, let alone a tongue. And yet, the Second Disciple had deliberately asked for it, likely to make a painful example out of the man. The man who’d been singled out flinched and trembled as he…- 125.4 K • Ongoing
Meng Chuan took a deep breath, still hearing Wen Zhongyi’s words echoing in his mind. He realized he simply couldn’t comprehend the sentence. In a softer voice, he asked tentatively, “Are you joking with me?” “Joke your ass.” Wen Zhongyi, despite the pain, was as sharp-tongued as ever. “Believe it or not, just focus on driving.” Meng Chuan stepped on the gas and drove through the intersection. His palms were sweating on the steering wheel. He was barely holding it together, the car…- 144.9 K • Completed
- There were no signs yet, but if Woo’s continued presence stirred something and caused the sealed memories to resurface, then it really would be irreversible. Yae Jinrang said more than once that this would be the last time. He had reached the limit of interfering with Kang Oh’s memories. “The human mind is more resilient than we think. And more familiar with pain than we expect. So this will be the last.” I understand! Woo responded inwardly, holding tight to the warning carved deep…

Woo Seonrim lowered his eyes as if lost in thought and then swallowed dryly. The bobbing of his Adam's apple was unusually clear to my eyes. His face was delicate, but his Adam's apple was surprisingly prominent. So were the veins running from the back of his hand to his forearm. Before I knew it, my eyes were tracing the lines of Woo Seonrim's body. And a sentence instinctively flashed through my mind. Ah, I want to kiss him. I wanted to jump up, grab Woo Seonrim by the collar, and pull him…- 171.7 K • Ongoing
"And Samuel told all the words of the Lord unto the people that asked of him a king. And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.…" The Listener sat on a small stool. As soon as the prayer he had heard dozens, if not hundreds, of times ended, he immediately stood up and walked into the crowd. Ahead, beneath a pillar, stood The Convert,…- 103.8 K • Completed
- Along the dark and rugged corridor, he walked forward. The black stone walls were slick with dampness, covered in a thin layer of frost. Patches of dark green moss grew between the cracks, glistening under the faint firelight from the lamp troughs, dripping tiny beads of dew. From every wall, from every crack in the stone, came the undulating sound of hymns and the continuous Mass: He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the…

- The mountain wind blew from the west as Naigu, carrying his knife, bent forward and climbed the slope. He had beautiful brown skin, large eyes, and a fierce, eagle-like nose with sharp cheekbones. The hair on his temples was shaved clean, revealing a bluish scalp, while the rest of his long hair was tied into a topknot. A large round earring dangled from his left ear. When he glared in this direction, he looked as valiant as the heavenly soldiers described by the Bimo Bimo: priest. He wasn't wearing…

- The man asked to be called Myeong. Myeong had recently quit his job at a factory and had holed himself up in a tiny, one-room apartment, refusing to come out. I went directly to the place where Myeong lived. It was a good five-hour drive from Seoul. Taking an entire day off in the midst of busy company work wasn’t easy, but meeting Myeong was that urgent. After all, he was someone who knew about Woo Seonrim’s past. “It’s been twelve years since Woo Seonrim’s trail went cold. But about ten…

Chapter 33: Meeting the Parents This time, Qiao Le’s return shot was extremely impressive. Not only was Chen Hao stunned, but even the others who were watching them play were surprised. “Nice return!” someone shouted. “Chen Hao, you’re embarrassing yourself! If you can’t do it, let me try.” “Go away, what’s it to you?” Chen Hao turned around and joked, then said to Qiao Le, “You’re pretty good. Let’s go again.” The two played a short round back and forth, then gave…- 182.5 K • Completed
