It was already close to midnight. Since I would likely be sleeping here, I had to wash up and change clothes. I got up and headed toward the bathroom but paused when I saw the firmly shut bedroom door. Baek Mugyeong had said it was better to lock the door for peace of mind, but if I did that… then even if I had another nightmare, he wouldn’t be able to come in to wake me. After a long moment of hesitation, I passed by the door without touching it. After my father’s car accident, I had…- 281.3 K • Completed
Wen Zhongyi was woken by a series of knocks on the door. The banging, mixed with the incessant ringing of the doorbell, dragged him out of a hazy sleep. By now, daylight was pouring in—the sun clearly high in the sky. The snowstorm had stopped, and bright sunlight filtered through the curtains. Wen Zhongyi squinted, lifted the blanket, and got out of bed. The moment his feet touched the floor, it felt strangely soft, as if he were stepping on cotton. His body swayed—only then did he realize…- 144.9 K • Completed
Chapter 47 – A Name Recorded in History In the blink of an eye, the Langgan Guard and the Yu Ji Guard clashed in chaos. When the Xian Mountain Guards crossed blades, the heavens and earth would tremble. The Langgan Guard wielded refined steel longswords, shaking the six directions“six directions” (六合 / liùhé) refer to the six spatial dimensions that encompass all existence: East (東) West (西) South (南) North (北) Up / Heaven (上 / 天) Down / Earth (下 / 地) and four seas with…- 450.2 K • Completed
Changwook’s voice turned grim. Jiheon, wiping cold sweat from his brow, tried to coax him gently. “Ah, come on. I heard that guy’s a mess at his job. Why don’t you use this chance to step in, huh?” —Hyung. Just ‘cause it comes out of your mouth doesn’t make it reasonable. Huh? What kind of power do I have to kick that bastard out? “You’ve got skills. Everyone knows that, man.” —What do you know? You’ve been retired and haven’t shown your face at the Center even…- 289.6 K • Completed
- “I wasn’t distracted!” Xu Fanming’s face flushed red. “Worry about yourself!” He had not expected those exact words to come back and slap him in the face. With the referee’s whistle, the match officially began. The basketball flew from the referee’s hand, and in the split second it reached its highest point, two lightning-quick hands shot up after it from below. Everyone’s hearts seized at once. Who would come out on top and take first possession? “Shuanglan’s number 12…

- In the blink of an eye, the day of the match against Shuanglan arrived. The night before the game, they finalized the player roster. There were ten in total. Captain Fang Ruihan, Zhu Xuyao and Wen Qin from the second year, Xu Fanming and He Jiang from the first year, along with four substitutes and their team manager Pan Yuan. The next day, all ten of them shared a cab ride to Shuanglan’s gymnasium. Their first game would be played on the road. Xu Fanming had been so nervous the night before that…

- At seven in the evening, He Jiang returned to his rented apartment. He opened a kitchen cabinet, pulled out a pack of instant noodles, and dumped it into a pot to boil. Ten minutes later, he sat down at the table with a steaming bowl of vegetable and egg noodles. Just as he picked up his chopsticks to take a bite, he noticed something sitting in the corner of the table. A black wallet and a blue cafeteria card. He paused for a moment, then remembered. It was the wallet and meal card Xu Fanming had left…

- During campus team training, Captain Fang Ruihan was pleasantly surprised to see that He Jiang and Xu Fanming seemed to have made up, or at the very least, they weren’t at each other’s throats anymore, and had stopped deliberately refusing to pass the ball to each other out of spite. When the team first gathered, Fang Ruihan had still been a bit tense. He was worried they might still be holding grudges from the last game and end up throwing punches the moment something went wrong. But seeing the two…

- He Jiang watched as Xu Fanming finished breakfast, then shamelessly insisted on going to practice together. Xu Fanming tossed the empty paper bag into the trash, ready to see him out, when He Jiang suddenly grabbed the basketball sitting on his desk and coaxed him, “Fan-daddy, want to make a bet?” Xu Fanming flared up even more. “If I bet with you again, I’m a dumbass!” “Scared of losing?” “You’re a goddamn scammer!” A shameless, manipulative scammer. Xu Fanming really didn’t…

- After that game, He Jiang didn’t see Xu Fanming for several days. The last time he saw Xu Fanming was right after the game. The team had gone, as usual, to that skewer place for dinner, combining it with their post-game review meeting. Everyone took turns speaking, discussing their own issues and possible ways to improve. They had learned a lot from that game. Even though the final result had been far from ideal, it had given each of them valuable insight. That match had shown them just how strong…
