Kwon Yijae, a director of the British defense industry company "Quantum," visits Korea to oversee the confidential Project K. There, he encounters Shin Jeha, an esper who has been dying for five years due to the absence of a guide with a compatible wavelength.... more>>

“He doesn’t seem like an esper.”

With an appearance too frail and youthful to be an esper, Shin Jeha, an esper with a deathly pale complexion that looks like he could collapse at any moment, begins to fiercely pursue Kwon Yijae after a chance encounter.

“Director. I can endure it. I’ve endured all this time, no matter how much it hurt… You can do whatever you want. I’m an esper… and espers… don’t die.”

To stay with the sadistic guide, Shin Jeha enters into a contract with him.

The frequency and method of guiding are determined based on the guide’s preferences and convenience.

An utterly unjust form of contract. <<less

I got scammed out of the security deposit I worked so hard to save. ... more>>

The landlord and the real estate agent vanished, and the police don't care.

I'm a Beta, so it would be okay for me to be homeless, but Kwon Yuwon, my only friend from the orphanage, is an Omega and can't do that.

"I'll only do this until I save up for the deposit. At the very least, we need a place to sleep."

I've lived my life without shame, but suddenly, what's this talk about drug delivery?

To make things worse, at the club I visited for the first time, I ran into a terrifyingly handsome man—so terrifying because of his looks.

"This is really my first time! I won't come back again. I swear I won't. Please, just let me go."

"If you mess around in someone else's business one more time, I'll have a drum ready next time. If you don't want cement in your stomach, you’d better behave."

As I was threatened, and as I had resolved, I didn't even dare glance in that direction and simply came to deliver to the next district, but...

"It seems you need to learn how scary the world can be…” <<less

After suffering from a high fever, I realized I had been reborn as a villain in a novel.... more>>

I was the villain who dies after tormenting my half-sister Irene, the female protagonist, out of jealousy.

But there was something even more important than that.

‘Luwen exists in this world.’

The character I loved most while reading the novel.

Luwen, the second male lead who steadfastly loves the female lead until sacrificing his life.

What if he hadn’t fallen in love with the female lead?

This was my chance to act on the daydreams I had in my previous life.

‘I can change Luwen’s ending.’

Yes, I’m just slightly altering the future of the second male lead, who’s still only twelve.

‘Luwen, I’ll change your life’s genre to a happy ending.’

It might be an arrogant thought.

But I’ve always been a selfish person who only thinks about myself.

So I’ll do as I please.

Even if I can’t be a good person, I can pretend to be one, right?

Even if I’m not the type to sacrifice myself for others, I can paint a convincing picture.

So, Luwen, let’s survive and find happiness.

Don’t step into your predetermined tragic fate. I’ll protect you as your brother. <<less

I found myself inside the bleak BL novel Silence, where both the protagonist and the antagonist perish. And I became the oppressed omega, Seo Heemin, who tries to escape, ends up breaking his ankle, and even suffers a miscarriage. As expected, as soon as I come to my senses, I am sold to Cha Yiheon, who harbors a deep grudge against the original protagonist.... more>>

“Why don't you hit me?”

“...Do you want to be hit?”

Fortunately, he is a revenge-driven character who loves Seo Heemin dearly. To return to reality, I have to gently seduce him and achieve a happy ending.

***

“Hyung, it's Heemin.”

—...Where are you now? Are you crazy enough to want to die?

The raw emotion of his anger was palpable. His rage was at its peak, more intense than ever. But, as I had expected this reaction, I calmly responded to him.

“I’ll be done with my appointment in an hour, so come pick me up. Let's go on a date at our lake park.” <<less

Due to trauma, the esper Ji Seo-joon refused to have a dedicated guide. He had been receiving low-quality guidings for years due to his aversion to contact with guides and repeatedly low matching rates.... more>>

In front of Seo-joon, who was on the verge of exploding from accumulated fatigue, a guide with a miraculous matching rate appeared.

【98.8%】

The protagonist with an unprecedented figure, Cha Yeon-woo, was still a high school student who hadn't even graduated yet. He was thrown into the field without undergoing training, as if they didn't care if he died.

"Uh, I'm not a kid. I took a year off, so I'm twenty years old... I hope you don't say I'm too young, even if you don't know the other reasons."

Seo-joon couldn't help but feel itchy in his chest at the innocent and dedicated appearance of the rookie guide... <<less

My King, my liege, Grey Zillard.... more>>

“I need you, Moonshadow.”

“I am yours. No hardship shall ever come between us.”

Seduced by his sweet words, I became Grey's. Because he needed me, I shattered the kingdom with the sword bestowed upon me by the King. Even labeled a traitor and a mu*derer, I didn't care, staining my hands with blood. Finally, as I fell off a cliff to protect him, I realized.

‘Well done, Ensley Makin. You’ve lived the worst life.’

I awoke to find myself sixteen again, back in a time before I committed any sins. I vowed never to be used by Grey again, but the cold Grey was somehow different.

“Would you believe me if I said my heart has changed? I want you.”

At the same time, the dissolute Prince Quinn Aribeth, a mere extra in my previous life, appears and begins to shake things up.

“If a day comes when you need help, I’ll be there for you then. I won't back down helplessly like last time.”

The King, who must be overthrown. The Rook, advancing with a broken body. The Pawn, turning the tables.

The curtain rises on a fierce game of chess. <<less

Lee Heeyoung, a recessive omega, was dragged to an entertainment establishment because of his dead father’s debt. As he was enduring his rock bottom life day by day, a child named Cheonghyun, who seemed to be around his younger sibling’s age, appeared before him.... more>>

On the night he saved Cheonghyun, who was being tormented by a troublesome customer at the establishment.

He finds out that the child’s father is Cha Gyojin, the owner of ‘Ignis’ where he works, and also a hopeless gangster…….

“I am sorry, but I do not understand why you, the owner, are trying to take the child away.”

Luring the child with money is a given, and his delinquent way of speaking is an added bonus. When Heeyoung, who was appalled by his nonsensical parenting, stood in his way to block him, Gyojin nonchalantly whispers a rude remark. <<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

Espers are guaranteed sufficient guiding in exchange for serving the state.... more>>

Except for runaway espers.

Runaway espers, due to their unstable metrics, are like ticking time bombs that could go on a rampage again at any moment.

Shin Joo-hyun, who went on a rampage immediately upon manifestation and spent 11 years being used by the Association like a dog, lived a life far removed from guiding despite being an esper.

In front of him appears Cha In-ho, a famous actor who manifested late at the age of 26 as a guide.

And he has come to be matched with a runaway esper.

“From now on, I will be your matching guide, Joo-hyun. Please take care of me.”

But this guide, for some reason, keeps acting like he knows Joo-hyun…

“I am the only person who knows Joo-hyun.

And you are the only one who knows me.”

Will Shin Joo-hyun be able to uncover Cha In-ho’s true identity?

Read If:

You want to see a cold, prickly, handsome Bottom hopelessly fall for a mostly gentle Matching Guide, and a beautiful, warm-hearted Top who eventually throws away his plans and regrets his hesitation once he accepts his true feelings.

"Shin Joo-hyun. Don’t make me really angry, come here.” <<less

Sean Cavendish, the troublesome youngest son of the Ravencher Duchy, is always at the center of gossip due to his scandalous lifestyle.... more>>

One day, upon receiving news of his father’s passing, Sean returns home for the reading of the will.

There, he encounters Mikhail, the man he’s been avoiding for the past eight years…

“To Sean Cavendish, I bequeath Swan Hill Estate and three million pounds.”

Shockingly, Sean receives the largest inheritance.

But there’s a catch.

“This inheritance is conditional.”

Sean must remain married to Mikhail for three years and be 100% faithful to him.

If he fails, the three million pounds will be forfeited and redistributed among his siblings.

Thus secretly begins the Rehabilitation Project of the Incorrigible Young Lord.

Can the notoriously decadent Sean successfully protect his three-million-pound fortune? <<less

SS-Rank Esper Nakyoo Seong and His Guide’s Struggle in a World Without Guides... more>>

One day, SS-rank Esper Nakyoo Seong and his guide, Ji Seon Woo, are suddenly pulled into a mysterious portal, transporting them to an unfamiliar world. There, they are taken in by a man named Jayan, who pleads with them to save a future world devoid of guides.

Nakyoo Seong, focused solely on returning to his own time with his guide, refuses outright. However, Ji Seon Woo, in contrast, accepts the request to save the world.

"What makes you think we should stay here? We don’t even know what they’ll demand from us!

Wake up! We’ve been kidnapped—we’re the victims here!"

"I know that! But what if we leave without a plan? What then? What if it’s even more dangerous out there? What if we have nowhere to eat or sleep?"

Ultimately, unable to defy the bond with his marked guide, Nakyoo Seong begrudgingly stays in Seubel. However, trouble quickly follows—people around them won’t stop flirting with Ji Seon Woo, an unexpected fated partner appears, and to top it off, Song Yeo Hwan, who was delayed in his dimensional transfer, finally joins them. Now, Nakyoo Seong has a throbbing headache—and possibly an ulcer.

"Nakyoo Seong, just how long have you been here? And why am I only finding you now?"

[“Popular, aren’t we, young master? I’m good at this too, you know. If you’re going to have fun, why not include me?”]

"Both of you, shut up and get lost."

With no interest in anyone except Ji Seon Woo, Nakyoo Seong does everything he can to return to the present day. But in this warped future, will he truly make it back home unscathed? <<less

However, as he tries to be a good older brother and gets closer to his siblings, things start to get twisted in strange ways…

“Shin Ju-kyung. Let’s make one thing clear.

So, is the definition of good you’re talking about possibly love?”

“Yes. It’s love.”

Isn’t it natural to love your siblings?

Ju-kyung, who wonders why he’s being asked, and his siblings, who are shocked by his answer.

As misunderstandings and misconceptions pile up, will Shin Ju-kyung be able to change the terrible future and reach a happy ending? <<less

Haon was troubled by his declining esper abilities.... more>>

He failed to protect his guide at a mission and was criticized by Cha Yugeon, an S-rank esper who always argues with him.

"Why send a guy like him?"

"You've just increased the trouble for no reason."

Cha Yugeon kept poking at Haon's nerves and managed to infuriate him through their verbal clashes.

In the end, Haon got angry and makes something important to him transparent.

“Take it back quickly! Or I will kill you myself!”

"It looks good on you. So, why pick a fight in the first place?"

However,

"Mr. Park Haon, an S-class guide, has been appointed as the guide for Mr. Cha Yugeon, an S-class esper."

Unable to find a way to undo what has been done, he not only became a guide to Cha Yugeon, but also his dedicated partner.
