Male Lead: Seo Muheun... more>>

A man born with the “Name,” a power only 1% of the population possesses. Born to place everything beneath his feet.

He resides on the top floor of the prestigious Raphael Tower in District 1, a space reserved for only the highest ruling class—every citizen’s dream.

Plagued by chronic insomnia, he’s irritable and impossibly sensitive.

Maybe it’s because of that cursed Name engraved on the inside of his thigh.

Eventually, in search of a mysterious tea that’s the only thing able to soothe him, Seo Muheun personally heads to District 4.

Female Lead: Eunsa

A cursed mutant living in District 4.

She quietly lives alone in a small cottage, picking herbs and making tea to sell.

She’s been alone since birth, persecuted for her unusual appearance, yet she has never hated herself—and has endured with quiet strength.

One day, a mysterious young master from District 1 begins pulling her into a world she’s never known.

The holographic game “Crimson Earth,” blending cyberpunk with Cthulhu elements, was about to be released.... more>>

Kui Xin’s luck seemed to have taken a turn for the better when she was selected as a closed beta tester for “Crimson Earth.”

However, events spiraled rapidly into the bizarre. She realized that instead of playing a mere holographic game, she had actually been transported to a parallel world that truly exists.

People struggled to survive amidst forests of steel and iron, while authorities raised their glasses in shared revelry under the glow of neon lights.

Consortiums controlled the economic lifelines, while super-intelligent AI monitored every individual’s actions closely.

Extraordinary beings, cyborgs, secret cults, and distortions in humans took center stage in this era…

Upon logging into the game, Kui Xin had an ominous feeling that something significant was about to unfold.

Question: What should you do if you discover your character in the game is a top-priority fugitive from the Federation, currently working undercover within the official Investigation Department?

Answer: The most dangerous place can also be the safest. Act out a scenario where you’re chasing yourself, then seize an opportunity to fake your death and escape.

---------------

Name: Kui Xin

Identity: An undercover agent sent by a rebel organization to infiltrate the Federation's Investigation Department.

Objective: Survive and strive to level up.

After reading the objective, Kui Xin felt it was insufficient.

Being a double-crosser seemed like a dead-end role; merely surviving and focusing on leveling up wasn't thrilling enough for her. She wanted to pull off something grand.

For instance, taking out the boss and usurping their position sounded quite satisfying.

In a time of chaos caused by monster invasions, Ha-gyeom, who has manifested as a guide, is kidnapped to one of the rebuilt cities, Zone 0. There, he loses his family and is on the brink of becoming a resource rather than a person. However, he is rescued by Baek Seung-woo, an Esper from the central center, gaining a new lease on life.... more>>

"My name is... Baek Seung-woo. I'm nineteen years old."

Thanks to Baek Seung-woo’s dedication and efforts over the years, Ha-gyeom transforms into a respectable trainee. Although he always thought of Baek Seung-woo as a close brother, ever since overhearing a conversation, he starts feeling feverish and his heart begins to race.

"Ha-gyeom is like my beginner's spirit. I must never lose him."

Nurturing these hidden feelings, Ha-gyeom falls into despair again when Baek Seung-woo goes missing during a secret mission.

Training and waiting for his return for five years, Ha-gyeom turns twenty and has been guiding for a year. However, without a highly compatible Esper at the center, he is unable to fully utilize his abilities.

Then, he finally gets the opportunity to participate in a mission in Zone 0 and hears unexpected news upon his return.

"Matching rate 99 percent!"

In a place where a matching rate below 50 percent is considered a curse, around 70 percent is average, and above 80 percent is seen as divine luck, a rate of 99 percent is unheard of!

To make matters worse, Ha-gyeom faces a situation where he must forcibly guide an out-of-control Esper in Zone 0. Confronted by a familiar silhouette in the darkness, Ha-gyeom is shocked beyond belief. <<less

“A peaceful Elven village, under attack by the Orcs.”... more>>

“Orcs setting fire to a peaceful Elven forest.”

Phrases like these are all too common.

But why exactly are they attacking the Elven lands?

How did they amass such a force to threaten entire nations?

This is a tale that dares to question such mysteries in a modern fantasy setting.

With the advance of science and the rise of the Industrial Revolution, the age has shifted from “swords and sorcery” to an era of “guns and magic.”

The Allied Nation of Orcs, Kobolds, Dwarves, Great Eagles, and Great Wolves, known as Orcsen; and the Elven Kingdom of Elfynd, an ancient, pure land even revered by Humans, have long-standing historical animosity.

At the border between these two rival nations, Orc King and the ruler of Orcsen, Gustav Falkenhayn, and Dineluth Andariel, the chieftain of the dark elves who have been exiled from their homeland by brutal ethnic cleansing, had a fateful encounter.

As these two nations wage a total war for their very survival, and as fate brings these two leaders together under dire circumstances, the question remains: What will become of their destinies?

Military, domestic affairs, diplomacy.

Land, sea, air.

An overwhelming tale of countless people, countless stories, and countless lives.

Thus begins a grand modern historical fantasy epic from another world. <<less

Kim Dokja does not consider himself the protagonist of his own life. Befitting the name his parents gave him, he is a solitary person whose sole hobby is reading web novels. For over a decade, he has lived vicariously through Yu Junghyeok, the main character of the web novel Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse (TWSA). ... more>>

Through Junghyeok, Dokja has experienced secondhand the trials of repeatedly regressing in time, in search of an end to life-threatening “scenarios” that force people to act out narratives for the amusement of god-like “Constellations.”

After reading 3,149 chapters—long after all other readers lost interest—Dokja finally resigns himself to the story ending. However, he receives an enigmatic message from the author, stating that the story will soon be monetized, before his surroundings suddenly go dark.

He swiftly realizes that fiction has become reality and he is now living through TWSA. Although he is the singular omniscient reader of the events yet to come, his success in the scenarios is not guaranteed—but perhaps his advantage will empower him to step into the protagonist role that never suited him before. <<less

In the Interstellar Academy, there was a new F-grade freshman with low talent.... more>>

The freshman had a pale complexion and was unusually thin and weak, typical of the lower-class poor.

In the Interstellar Academy, students like Ji Fu were countless. The highest point they could reach was probably being picked by noble families to be cultivated as their appendages.

This was already the pinnacle that F-grade talent could reach.

F stood for the bottom, the bottom stream, and also represented the most barren resources and future, only able to survive by attaching to the nobility.

When the top nobles scrutinized Ji Fu with their critical eyes, they didn’t know.

She came from the highest interstellar prison.

Once, with her own strength, she destroyed thirty-three planets and topped the interstellar rankings.

She was the highest-ranked inmate in the prison, with a danger level of 3S, the top criminal.

Because she was judged to be a low-level species without talent, Ji Fu had struggled to survive in a brutal and chaotic environment since she was young, from being trampled on by others to fighting her way to the top of the rankings.

At the age of sixteen, she was told that while she was fighting for survival, someone was sucking her blood to enjoy worldly glory, but still wanted to crush her flesh and blood into mud to nourish their nursery.

So, now — the game has begun. <<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?”]

“Until the day humanity falls.”... more>>

In the year 2020, Earth’s magnetic poles disappeared and humankind was nearly wiped out by cosmic radiation. Within the span of a hundred years, living creatures began to mutate and devour each other while the remaining humans, numbering in the tens of thousands, struggled bitterly in their man-made bases.

In the Abyss, home to the mutated xenogenics, there lived a sentient little mushroom. Because it had been nourished by the blood and flesh of the deceased human An Ze, not only did it take on a similar-looking human form, but a similar name as well: An Zhe.

An Zhe is determined to go to the human base to search for his spore, which had been harvested by humans. Once there, however, he faces the omnipresent risk of discovery and certain death as he tries to keep his non-human nature hidden from the Judges, whose responsibility is to inspect for and eliminate xenogenics like himself. And of all the Judges, Colonel Lu Feng is the most perceptive and merciless—as soon as he determines that someone is a xenogenic, he will execute that person on the spot.

But An Zhe’s mutation goes undetected by Lu Feng’s eyes, and so a tale of humans and xenogenics unfolds…

A dungeon has appeared on the earth. It's a dungeon, like what everyone knows, a template dungeon. Suddenly, monsters appear in the dungeons that appear in various places, using a power that humans had never seen, like casting magic. The Earth, which has come to coexist with such dungeons, has been filled with unknown lifeforms, unknown technology, and skills created by the mana pollution caused by the appearance of dungeons.... more>>

That's good. No, it's not good.

The profession of adventurer was born, and each company bought the materials of demons that can be obtained and the items that can be obtained from the treasure chest for a large amount of money, and the world became an era of adventurers... That’s the templates, right?

...Well, it didn't happen. The reality is harsh, more than you think. Think carefully. The companies will buy large quantities of monster materials? Sure. But if it's just a sample for research, 100 bodies are more than enough, right? Yeah, that’s right. They didn’t keep buying. Therefore, there was no basis for an adventurer to be born. Of course, that means, anyone dives into the dungeon for no reward. Even if they have the skills, are they willing to risk their life? Of course, no.

Then, what do you think will happen? Fortunately, the weapons of the earth worked on the monsters. So, people were able to defeat them with a gun or missile. It's that easy.

...But they appear every day. I'm sure it's because they don't dive into the dungeon and thin out monsters on a regular basis. Well, if only a few dungeons appeared in the world, it was still good. But dungeons were everywhere. From dungeons with only weak monsters to dungeons with strong monsters.

The army fought with them every day. Using ammunition like hot water and shooting missiles like fireworks. Do you know what the result will be? I’m sure you know. In a situation where the dungeon is not profitable at all, it becomes a disaster, resources will go low and taxes will go high… Eventually, people abandoned all but the important cities. That sound like a disastrous situation, right? Well, in such a world, lawless zones are everywhere. And even if you want to do some trading, it’s not easy.

In such a world decades after that incident, I am still alive. And for the time being, I plan to save the world with the skill I have trained for decades. Secretly.
