“Leave your son here. If you take him beyond the protective rope around this house, he will die.”... more>>

Lee Yoonjae, son of Lee Jongil, a former Army Chief of Staff, current member of the National Assembly, and a strong contender for the upcoming presidential election, finds himself trapped after a single sentence spoken by a shaman’s successor during a visit to his father’s usual shaman’s house in the autumn of his eighteenth year.

The place is Ryu Gwan Temple, the home of the shaman Ryu Gwan, located on Seonrak Mountain. This centuries-old ancestral estate is protected by a powerful deity that resides only within Ryu Gwan’s bloodline. Baek Youngso, Ryu Gwan’s great-grandson and sole successor, warns that Yoonjae possesses a pure soul so coveted by spirits that he is doomed to die young unless divine intervention is used to shield him.

With no other option, Yoonjae stays at Ryu Gwan Temple for a week, and from that reluctant stay, the two begin to slowly build a bond. However, everything changes when Ryu Gwan’s health takes a sudden turn for the worse… <<less

Choi Soogyeom, a nameless actor who has been drifting between dramas and theater for five years.... more>>

He barely manages to get an audition for a famous director's film, hoping to land even a small role, but before his most confident acting is even over, he receives the harsh criticism that "he can't use acting that just imitates others" and fails.

While trying to soothe his bitter heart with alcohol with a friend, he watches a talk show starring the top star he admired, Yoon Yichae, and learns that the actor Yoon Sookyung, who has been continuously landing leading roles in TV dramas despite her somewhat lacking appearance and terrible acting skills, is Yoon Yichae's younger brother.

Choi Soogyeom feels considerable disappointment and inferiority at the fact that the star he admired pulled strings to get his younger brother the leading role in the drama. Moreover, Choi Soogyeom discovers an article stating that Yoon Sookyung has been decided for the role he auditioned for, and falls into deep skepticism and despair.

However, not long after that, Yoon Sookyung suddenly dies in an accident on set.

This incident, which was clearly unrelated to Choi Soogyeom, unexpectedly twists his life in a big way... <<less

Once a celebrated child star, now accustomed to living as if dead, Jaehyun receives a request one day to take profile photos for a rookie actor.... more>>

“What kind of people do you usually photograph? Idols?”

“Well… mostly people like you, Suho.”

A vibrant, cheerful being who smiles easily, radiating a dazzling, sparkling vitality.

“By any chance, did you not want to take on this job, sir?”

Suho transparently reveals his likable sincerity, and though Jaehyun tries to keep his distance, his heart doesn’t comply.

“The problem is that I’m young? I’m twenty-three, you know?” <<less

[If I set foot in Asyrth again, I'll be Othan's footstool!] ... more>>

"Nicknamemerham," the top player of the MMORPG Asyrth of Fortune (commonly known as AoF), a Druid – widely considered the worst class in the game – and the one and only player to achieve triple Tier 10, deleted his character in a fit of rage after witnessing all sorts of dirty tricks during a world-first hard raid clear with his former guild members.

Three months later, he quietly created a new character, "Meritocracy." Discouraged after once again choosing the Druid class, notorious for its notoriously difficult tier-up quests, he witnessed "Kkamamgom," a Shadow Warrior – another notoriously weak class – struggling with even basic combat.

Meritocracy: Hey

Meritocracy: Use DoT

Kkamamgom: What’s a D0T?!

Kkamamgom: ㅠㅠ

Half out of boredom, half out of camaraderie, Meritocracy started helping him. Then, he noticed something strange in the Shadow Warrior's tier window.

"Nature Tier 2?"

It wasn't a tier a newbie could easily obtain. He wondered if it was a bug, but since it also appeared on Kkamamgom's own status window, it seemed to be genuine.

If he diligently taught this guy and became friends…—Couldn't he use him as a tier-up shuttle?

Having made up his mind, Meritocracy decided to abruptly propose to Kkamamgom.

Meritocracy: Uh…

Meritocracy: Will you marry me?

《'Kkamamgom' pledges eternal love to you. Do you accept?》

Thus began their online married life in the game. Discovering a completely different route from the known Druid storyline, their game experience began to unfold in an unexpected direction… <<less
