Seolyeong returned to the chamber with a bowl full of thick snow. The moment he stepped inside, his brow furrowed. He’d left Si Pungjae behind to tend to the boy, but the man was just sitting there beside the bed, staring blankly at him. Seolyeong clicked his tongue and scolded him. “What are you spacing out for?” Si Pungjae turned slowly, hands folded neatly in his lap. His face, so clean-cut and well-shaped, was now shadowed by visible distress. As Seolyeong brushed aside the bed…- 253.5 K • Completed
The princes did not usually express such clear opinions about other countries because they were not emperors. This could result in a rift with the emperor. However, Yudit was certain that the harmony between Herut and Adanauer was exactly what the emperor desired. Cooperation with Herut was essential if they were to establish relations with the countries beyond the desert. The soldiers of Adanauer didn’t even know how to face the sand monsters, let alone endure the desert. And if the emperor hadn’t…- 396.9 K • Completed
Chen Tianxiang quickly borrowed the clothes he needed and stopped by the market to buy vegetables and fish, planning to prepare a nice meal for lunch. He had already decided to let Qi Haiyang move in officially. His home wasn’t far from school, and as long as he didn’t let work get in the way, he could treat him to good food every day. "Haiyang, open the door." Holding the bags in his hands, he couldn’t be bothered to pull out his keys, but the intercom in the hallway didn’t respond. Instead,…- 38.4 K • Completed
3:12 PM The helicopter rocked as it descended onto the helipad. Fang Yang crawled out of the cabin, and was immediately hit by the gust of wind, blinding him momentarily. He tilted his head slightly. “Where’s Liao Qiu? Why didn’t he come?” The black-clad men who came to pick him up didn’t answer. Fang Yang raised his voice, asking again. The leader of the group replied, “Mr. Chen has asked Mr. Fang to meet him in the study.” These weren’t Hongyun’s men. Fang Yang realized almost…- 61.7 K • Completed
Silver slapped Wolf on the head. After placing the offering on the altar, Silver and Wolf swept the area with the birch broom. They gathered the feathers and bones together and sprinkled soil over the bloodstains. Wolf would be horrified if he knew, but this wasn't cleaning. It was a ritual to appease the vengeful spirit of the sacrificial victim who had died in agony. After finishing the ritual, they broke off a birch branch and set it alight. The Stolls believed the smoke rising from birch…- 124.7 K • Ongoing
Knowing the future is a great gift, but the downside is the immense anxiety that comes with losing that gift. In Hoiga's case, that anxiety manifested itself in trembling hands. Thud, scritch. He had to write with a pen on paper, but his hands were shaking, so the pen kept slipping. If he pressed too hard, the ink would spill and ruin his writing. As he discarded the paper for the umpteenth time today, Hoiga sighed. Once the future was distorted, even the few futures he knew were now tainted with…- 315.1 K • Ongoing
Eunsol smelled something familiar. It was as comforting as lying under a blanket dried in the sun and as warm and pleasant as drinking barley tea. When he opened his eyes, his grandma was holding his head on her lap, gently stroking his hair. “Grandma…” He called her, but she didn’t answer and only smiled softly. Since she’d never been a talkative person, that alone was enough for Eunsol. He closed his eyes again in relief. Her delicate, smooth fingers slowly combed through his hair.…- 182.2 K • Completed
The hierarchy of Mages is clearly defined. Magic Apprentices perceive elements, Intermediate Mages manipulate elements, High Mages communicate with elements, and Archmages comprehend and utilize the laws of magic. The greatest advantage of a High Mage over an Intermediate Mage, as far as Lin Wei knew, was that communicating with elements was far easier than manipulating them. The consumption of mental energy was minimized, preventing the situation where a Mage would exhaust their mental energy after…- 224.9 K • Completed
- “So, what is it that you wanted to say?” Khalid leaned against the railing as he asked. There was nothing. Khalid had been brought here by Selena. But if Yudit told the truth, that would mean Selena had lied to Khalid. He didn’t want to burden her any further after all the help she had already given him. Just calling Khalid over must have taken a lot of courage for her. “Ah, well…” As the flustered Selena hesitated, Yudit stepped in first. “I thought you might be… tired by…

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
