Love is like Jenga.... more>>

Even if it looks perfect at first,

gaps begin to form, and eventually, it collapses.

Cha Seon-woo, a promising announcer at TBC

and the only son of a chaebol conglomerate,

had always believed that.

But when Kyu-won, who once claimed to have fallen for him at first sight,

reappears before his eyes as a journalist at TBC,

showering him with an intense yet suspicious courtship,

he finds himself drawn into this precarious game…

"Ha, what exactly is it that you want to do with me?"

"Jenga. Burning hot."

A Brief Excerpt

“I asked if you’ve ever been in love. Have you ever started building something, from design to construction, and completed it?”

“Why is that so important to you?”

Seon-woo turned his back on Kyu-won. He seemed parched, searching for a water bottle. His fingers fumbled several times as he twisted the cap, and even after finally managing to open it and pouring the water down his throat, his thirst remained unsatisfied. He frowned. But when he looked back at Kyu-won, his smile was as smooth as ever, just like when he stood on stage.

“I feel like I’ve begun constructing a building.”

“Ah, I see. That’s wonderful. Congratulations.”

“I love you, Cha Seon-woo. I fell in love at first sight.”

Love at first sight.

Seon-woo, sipping lukewarm water, wrinkled his brow as if in regret. <<less

Seong Muyeon, the seventh son of the Demon Cult Leader and a sufferer of severed meridians syndrome,... more>>

realizes that he has been reincarnated as a character in the martial arts novel “Supreme Sword Chronicle.”

According to the original plot, the Demon Cult is utterly destroyed by the protagonist Baek Ryeoil.

Using recuperation as an excuse, he sneaks out of the Demon Cult’s headquarters, but……

“What business do you have in the Central Plains? What filthy scheme are you plotting?”

Of all people, he gets caught by Baek Ryeoil himself.

At this point, there’s no other choice.

If he can’t avoid being killed by the protagonist,

it’s better to cling to him instead!

“Please hide me. You wanted to catch me anyway, didn’t you?”

“No.”

“But you’re the most trustworthy in the whole sect!”

Through desperate flattery, he somehow manages to enter the righteous sect,

but there’s no way life will be easy for Seong Muyeon, a former demon cultist.

After a series of incidents, Seong Muyeon’s severed meridians syndrome flares up again,

and Baek Ryeoil makes a suggestion——

“Just do dual cultivation with me.”

▶ A Quick Taste

It felt like Seong Muyeon’s soul was leaving his body through his mouth. He held his forehead.

“……Please explain in more detail.”

“One of the treatments for severed meridians is to perform dual cultivation with someone who has at least one Jiazi¹ worth of internal energy.”

‘I already know that!’

Countless heroines in the martial arts world had their illnesses cured thanks to the protagonist’s grace. As expected of the main character, Baek Ryeoil had an immense amount of internal energy.

“If that’s one method, what are the others?”

“Become a Huajing master and completely transform your body.”

Baek Ryeoil looked Seong Muyeon up and down.

“Judging by your current state, you’d have a better chance coming back from the dead.”

“……”

“This is the easiest. Besides, all the ingredients are right here.”

Baek Ryeoil pointed at himself, his eyes gleaming.

“I refuse.”

Seong Muyeon rejected him on the spot and turned away without hesitation.

“Why not!”

“Just because.”

¹ Jiazi (甲子): A traditional Chinese time unit equal to a 60-year cycle. In martial arts fiction, it often symbolizes a high level of internal cultivation. <<less

‘I’m sure of it. People are being killed in that house.’

While his guardian uncles are away, Dawon approaches the man. Dawon’s long-held desire is singular: revenge.

“The reason I came here today is to ask you a favor. I want to kill someone.”

At the audacious request, the man scans Dawon with sharp, wolf-like eyes. As Dawon’s gaze wavers, the man’s lips curl upward in a strange satisfaction.

[Would you like to tame the bat?] ... more>>

[Yes/No]

On a day so unlucky it felt like your nose would break if you fell backwards, In Yoo-shin found himself caught up in a bank robbery.

Luckily, S-class Hunter Hyeon Gyu-ha, who happened to be passing by, came to rescue and resolved the situation.

Then, out of nowhere, the system asked In Yoo-shin if he wanted to tame a bat. In Yoo-shin simply responded with a casual "Yes."

After all, he could only tame hamsters, so he figured it might just add another cute pet to his collection.

He certainly didn’t expect that the ‘bat’ was someone at the bank, much less that it was Hyeon Gyu-ha, the number one ranked Hunter!

“Yoo-shin. My master is here?”

He had unexpectedly been tamed by In Yoo-shin, an F-class tamer.

Hyeon Gyu-ha starts experiencing separation anxiety even if he is a little away from his ‘master’.

To justify his stalking, Hyeon Gyu-ha proposed a fake relationship to Yoo-shin…?

“I can’t help it. Let’s just date.”

He thought making friends was out of the question this time too…

"Jeongseo, be my friend."

"I-I don't make friends with bad-tempered people."

For some reason, Yoontae keeps getting tangled up with Jeongseo.

But what should he do?

It seems that the 'first love' Yoontae is searching for... is probably Jeongseo.

"So, what would you do if you found your first love?"

"I'd mate with them right away."

‘Alright, I must never let him find out!’

But Jeongseo doesn’t know. It's already too late. <<less

Even though Grand Duke Rishar, who grew up with him in the imperial palace, returned after three years as a hero, Etienne couldn’t simply welcome him with joy.

While maintaining this awkward relationship with Rishar, Etienne suddenly faces a heat cycle and finds himself in danger of having his identity as an Omega exposed…

“Hyung-nim.”

……He can't say that!

He desperately avoids him to maintain his present life.

Kang Ha-Joon continues to be interested in him, who was not seen even in the original work.

*Rinat: A mysterious man who turned up at Kyrie out of the blue. Appears to have a great interest in Cyril.... more>>

*Cyril: The bartender of Kyrie who serves up lies mixed with truth.

*“Right now, I’d just like to spell those lips of yours honest for once.”

The Cataclysm swept through the world overrun by nuclear dust and toxic waste, leaving nothing standing but a single steel tower constructed by a dictator. The clicking of turning cogwheels filling that tower purged the earth and saved humanity, whose remnants gathered around the Central Tower to survive.

Against this backdrop, Cyril, a bartender in East Downtown, finds himself unexpectedly entangled one rainy day in the case of a serial killer known as “Alice,” caught in a clandestine battle of wits with a man named Rinat in a race to uncover one another’s secrets.

–

A chill ran through him. Cyril jerked back, letting out a sound of dismay. The young man’s hand remained where he’d just been, hovering in the space between Cyril’s shoulder and throat.

“Ah, I missed,” the man complained lightheartedly, unclenching his fist from its failed attempt to snatch at the end of the ribbon. “You’re quicker than I thought. I shouldn’t have underestimated you—ought to have held your hands down first.”

If anything, that was Cyril’s line. Stealthy as a cat, that one.

“I was quite curious… just what it was you were hiding under that ribbon.”

“This ribbon—”

“Ah, I heard. From that corner over there.” The young man raised his hands to cut him off. “You said it was a memento of your mother’s? She must’ve been quite wealthy, to dr*pe herself in gold-dusted silk over cheap nylon.”

Cyril smiled inscrutably, inwardly clicking his tongue with annoyance. “It was a gift from my father, and he was incredibly wealthy, so…”

Now it was the stranger’s turn to smile, his ash-gray eyes curving with amusement. “Of course. If that really is a memento, that is.” <<less

To make matters worse, Yeo-jin, who chooses to stand by Haeju, is now branded a dangerous individual and becomes a fugitive.

The government and the rebels alike see Seo Haeju as a threat. But Yeo-jin, unwavering in his devotion, fights desperately to protect the boy who follows him so blindly.

When a pet dies, aren’t they supposed to wait beyond the rainbow bridge? ... more>>

Though I wasn’t expecting a river of pet milk or trees bearing treats, I never imagined that such a bleak cityscape awaited.

After sending off his black cat, Kamangi, in tears, Baek Rokdam fell asleep.

But upon waking, he found himself in the afterlife for pets.

Unlike what he imagined, the gray buildings stretched endlessly, a harsh and lifeless world beyond death.

Before he even had a chance to be disappointed, he was thrust into grueling labor and unrelenting hardships.

One day, amidst his exhausting life, he stumbled across a tiny egg on the street.

Thanks to his gift of seeing things others couldn’t, he noticed that this seemingly ordinary rock actually held life within.

Unable to just walk past, he picked up the egg…

“So, could I ask why the kitten over there keeps glancing this way?”

But it seems that three divine beasts are searching for the egg I possess.

* * *

The little one, who was barely the size of Rokdam’s arm, had a smooth, black shell on its back.

Despite its tiny and adorable appearance, this one was a full-fledged divine beast, a black tortoise, born for the first time in twenty years.

The little black tortoise giggled as it nestled in Rokdam’s arms, reaching up to touch his face with its soft, chubby hand.

As he caressed the baby’s plump, soft hand, Rokdam smiled brightly in return.

You’ve already grown a lot in just one month.

“Ma.”

“I’m not your mom; I’m your uncle, okay?”

In just a bit more time, it was said that this little one would fully grow into an adult form, but for now, it was hard to imagine this small baby turtle ever growing big and mischievous like the others.

“Ma, waah. Ma.”

Unable to call him “Mom,” the little tortoise furrowed its round eyes in frustration, its pouty lips sticking out.

Rokdam chuckled helplessly at the sight, realizing there was nothing he could do.

“All right, all right. Call me whatever you want.”

“Mm, Ma. Food.”

‘Mom, uncle—whatever makes you happy.’

Rokdam patted the little black tortoise and rummaged in a pocket under the cradle.

“Ah, geez.” <<less
