In an era where the sea is drying up.

In a world where things have become more precious than people,

‘Bada’, who worked at ‘Oceans’, encounters an unexpected person.

It’s Joo Dohwa, the heir to the ‘Four Seas Group’ that monopolizes the sea.

“I’ll take that one. How much?”

A relaxed and slow gaze that turns to look at him.

Normally, they would never have met, given their different social classes.

But Joo Do-hwa, who came all the way here to buy a person, had only one request for Bada.

“I’ll call you ‘hyung’ (older brother). In return, you speak to me informally. How about it?”

A ‘hyung’ he briefly spent time with as a child, the one who disappeared after stealing something important from him—

He asked Bada to imitate that ‘hyung.’

“We’re playing a role. You’re the hyung, and I’m the younger brother.”

The time limit is until he loses interest.

As he said this, his golden eyes were filled with curiosity toward the stranger in front of him.

It wasn’t a difficult request. At least not for Bada.

‘He doesn’t seem to remember.’

Should I tell him? That I’m the one he’s looking for. <<less

To overcome the grief of losing his mother and to forget a first love that could never be, Sewon impulsively sets off on a trip to Istanbul.... more>>

There, Sewon meets a man who seems to live in a world entirely different from his own.

Brought together by chance, the two begin traveling as companions, and the more they talk, the more they find themselves drawn to each other…

Under the pretext of alcohol, Sewon confesses to him that the friend he once liked was a “man.”

“Want to come to my room? Tell me if I’m misunderstanding this.”

“…It’s not a misunderstanding.”

The next morning, after an impulsive night with the man, Sewon wakes up and happens to glimpse a message that arrives on the man’s phone.

「Having fun on your trip, honey? Don’t forget to bring back the gift you promised~!」

It was, without a doubt, a sweet message from a lover waiting for their partner to return from the journey.

“Memories from a trip should be left behind at the trip.”

Sewon realizes there is a hidden meaning in the man’s words and, overwhelmed with shame, flees back to Korea.

One year later,

Sewon encounters the man he’d left behind at the travel destination once again.

“Gong Sewon-ssi.”

“Yes.”

“How many Gongs do you think live in Seoul?”

And this time, as his workplace superior.

------

Sewon clenched and unclenched his fists, feeling his mouth go dry.

"I don't need someone with grit, effort, and diligence. I need someone who can work in sync with me without needing me to explain everything from scratch. That's why I requested someone with experience."

Dojun looked at Sewon with an expressionless gaze. There was no warmth in the man’s eyes as he treated Sewon like a colleague or a stranger. Only now, a year later, did Sewon realize how warmly Dojun had looked at him back in Istanbul.

“It’s not that I opposed you because of personal feelings.”

“…”

“It’s just… my team doesn’t need someone like Gong Sewon-ssi.” <<less

Why don’t you take a good look at yourself when you get turned from a demon dragon into a blood princess maid by a Hero?... more>>

You got hit by a truck and transported to another world—how about blaming yourself for that?

You reincarnated as a villainous dragon that everyone wants dead—blame yourself for that too, okay?

You got turned into a purple-haired girl by the Hero, who then used all sorts of props to… ahem, “torture” you—can we talk about how maybe that’s also your own fault?

Why is it that the Hero is always picking on you?

Why are you the only one who got turned into a girl?

Why are you the one working all day only to go home and warm the Hero’s bed and fetch him hot water?

Maybe it’s all your fault, huh?

How am I supposed to beat a max-level Hero? I just reincarnated, haven’t even learned a single skill yet, and the guy shows up at my door in full god-tier gear—what am I supposed to do?

And then all my subordinates surrendered!

When they saw me getting beat up, they went nuts, laughing like maniacs, going, “Ahahaha!”

Then the Hero started showing off his magic combo like, “I’m gonna kill you!”

And all I could do was fall to my knees and beg, “It hurts! It hurts so bad!”

Played to death, schemed to death, and then you still ask me,

“Hey, why don’t you reflect on yourself a bit more?”

You’re so cute!

The craziest part?

When the Hero found out the truth, he actually said,

“Hey, we’ve lived together so long already—why don’t you just marry me?” (shocked face)

What the h*ll?!

He knows I’m a guy, and he still wants me to marry him?

I’ve already been turned into a woman, and you’re still talking about marriage? No way!

I’m a man inside! There’s no way I’d marry anyone!

Just then, a big hand lands on the purple-haired girl’s head.

“What? Marrying me is that upsetting?”

“No! I was just kidding… hubby~!” <<less

Li Qiao, a master of the occult, transmigrated into the ill-fated true heiress of a tr*shy novel—a cannon-fodder character whose identity was stolen by her adoptive sister, leaving her trapped in a remote mountain village forever. But just as her biological parents came to claim her, the adoptive sister suddenly changed her tune and pushed her into their arms.... more>>

In elite Beijing circles, rumors spread like wildfire: The bumpkin the Li family brought back is a lunatic! They said she loved roaming at midnight, wielding a peachwood sword and kicking down the doors of wealthy mansions.

Outraged, the tycoons stormed the Li family to complain.

…Until later, when those same tycoons scrambled to beg on their knees, hauling lavish gifts: "Grandmaster, save me first!"

Then, when Li Qiao started appearing arm-in-arm with that man next door, the elite gasped: "Grandmaster, you’re as good as dead!"

The upper crust frantically called their heirs—Now’s the time to steal her away and save her!

The man next door smirked: "Heh. Let the clowns dance."

While Li Qiao rose to fame in the capital and gained national renown, her adopted sister—now the mother of three daughters—finally snapped. One day, she kicked over a pot of pork stew and screamed in frustration:"We swapped lives! So why is she still living better than me?!" <<less

To make matters worse for Mel, the only person she trusted had grown increasingly cold to her since Eos’ appearance.

Mel thought that marrying Gopher would allow her to become the ‘real’ Bleria.

To survive the impending disaster, Mel must now make a choice.

The main character, also named Shi Jin, was the sixth son of his harem-novel-protagonist-like father. All was well, while his father was alive at least, but after his death, Shi Jin’s five elder half-brothers tormented him, eventually leading to his death.

There was only one problem. His father had just died. His older brothers were about to torment him…

Banteon, a teacher at the Royal Esper Center, was secretly enjoying the night when he encountered Delroz, an SS-rank Esper, collapsed on the street. He ends up guiding Delroz. The next day, Delroz starts looking for the person who guided him that night. Banteon, not wanting to get involved, tries to avoid him. However, despite his efforts, Banteon keeps running into Delroz.

What will happen to the Esper who is determined to find his guide and the guide who wants to escape him?

[Preview]
For some unknown reason, Delroz firmly believed that the guide who saved him was a woman. His conviction was so strong that he didn’t doubt it even with the person in question right in front of him.

Gaining confidence that he had not been discovered yet, Banteon crossed his arms and looked at Delroz. He spoke in a calm voice, as if he were a third party.

“I hope you find the rumored guide soon, but it has nothing to do with me. Now, return my belongings.”

“Hmm…”

At Banteon’s firm words, Delroz fell into silent contemplation, not moving at all. Even as time passed, he didn’t budge. Finally, a tired Banteon urged him again.

“I heard it’s a woman with long hair.”

“That’s right.”

A clean affirmation returned. Banteon was curious about why Delroz was so sure it was a woman. Knowing full well that the misunderstanding was advantageous for him, he still asked.

“I heard you were in a dangerous state, but you seem to remember quite clearly?”

“She was beautiful.”

“What?”

Banteon asked again, momentarily doubting his ears.

“She was the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen. It’s repulsive to think a man would ever look good to me.” <<less

When I opened my eyes, I had possessed a character in a zombie story.... more>>

And not just any moment—but right when a zombie was about to bite me.

“Wait, hold on!”

Sure, I was a villainess who threw tantrums and trolled the protagonists, but still, don’t just abandon me!

Despite my desperate pleas, the protagonists’ backs grew farther and farther away.

And in the end…

Crunch!

Five minutes after possessing this body, I was bitten by a zombie.

***

“How can you be unharmed, Penelope?”

When I returned safely, everyone was utterly shocked, and the heroine, Lilia, ran up and hugged me.

“Lady! You’re alive!”

The sweet scent of the woman who embraced me as if relieved kept making my mouth fall open.

At this moment, I could just bite her down in one go…

These were the very people who had abandoned me and fled.

So taking a bite out of at least one of them should be fine, right?

As the faintly sweet scent tickled my nose, my mind grew hazy.

But the grand duke, who warily pointed his sword at me, snapped me back to reality, forcing me to suppress my instincts.

Yes. Just hold on a little longer.

Soon, they’ll develop a cure, and I can’t afford to die now.

So, while staying by the protagonists’ side, I kept my instincts in check, hiding the fact that I was a zombie…

“Your Highness, I’m fine.”

“There’s no way you’re fine. Look at how injured you are.”

Even when I insisted I was fine, they wouldn’t leave me alone.

“I’ll do it, so just stay put.”

“Next time, I’ll be the one to save you, Lady.”

“Please, don’t ever tell me to leave you behind. The thought of losing you drives me insane.”

It seems the protagonists have gotten a serious misunderstanding. <<less

One day, as she lived in constant fear of being sold by her family for money, her brother accrued another debt and sold her as a nude model to a suspicious man. The man she met through this unfortunate event made her a dangerous proposal: to become his fake wife.

"I heard you say you'd repay the favor you owe me yesterday, is that correct?"

"Yes, that's right."

After her compliant response, he paused briefly before replying in a low voice, "Then, may I collect that debt in my own way?"

With those words, he swiftly removed his vest and shirt. Georgiana's mouth fell open as she watched him become half-naked in an instant. She had anticipated his muscular physique from his exposed arms and veins while he was painting, but his bare torso was even more impressive.

His broad shoulders and the wide chest beneath them were covered in taut muscles, leaving no part of him that wasn't firm. Especially his abs, which were sharply defined and sculpted, seemed impenetrable by any weapon. As she stared in a daze, forgetting to look away, he approached her and leaned down as if seeking permission.

"If you're uncomfortable with this, you can always say so. This is the price of your promise." <<less

“So wife, you must not leave my side.”

His touch reached my foot. Slowly and smoothly his hand climbed up, wrapped around my ankle.

“Lea, what if I leave, you will kill me?”

“How can I do that?”

He responded lightly with a smiling voice.

“I’m going to kill the man who took you.”

In the final battle, Marshal Chen Wei heroically sacrificed his life. The Chen family was engulfed in flames, and his subordinates risked everything to save one of the Omega twins—the elder brother.... more>>

Eighteen Years Later

The elder brother, raised in the ivory tower, is refined and aloof. As the only heir of the Marshal, he is betrothed to the Crown Prince. However, the cold and distant pair have no sparks between them. Even their pheromones are indifferent to one another. Words like “superficial harmony” and “dreams apart in the same bed” seem tailor-made to describe their future marriage.

Meanwhile, the younger twin, rescued by a loyal servant in the underground city, has grown into the most alluring socialite. Every Alpha in the underground longs for a night with him, their jealousy simmering as they wait for someone’s wife to tear apart that stunningly beautiful face.

One Day, the Twins Reunite.

On a whim, the elegant prince’s consort dons a revealing backless outfit to visit the underground, while the flamboyant younger twin dresses in pristine robes and enters the ivory tower.

At dinner, the Crown Prince sits stoically across from his future consort, suddenly feeling an unfamiliar foot brushing his leg under the table, teasingly stroking it. The youth across from him props his chin on his hand, watching the prince’s every expression with lively, sparkling eyes.

That night, for the first time, they catch a whiff of each other’s pheromones.

In the Underground City

A gang of thugs, with ill intentions, gets slapped senseless and forced to the ground by an overwhelming spiritual force. The youth’s provocative attire contrasts sharply with the nobility in his every movement and glance.

An Alpha, exuding charm but clearly up to no good, asks with a smirk, “May I invite you to dinner?”

The penniless elder brother hesitates for a moment before gently placing his hand in the Alpha’s palm. “Your honor.”

Everyone assumes that the marriage between the Crown Prince and the Marshal’s son will inevitably fall apart due to their lack of pheromone compatibility. Young nobles eagerly sharpen their claws, dreaming of replacing him as the Crown Prince’s consort.

Yet, this same Marshal’s son—inseparably close to the prince and making others fail miserably at every turn—baffles them.

Younger Brother:

“When I was tearing apart green tea b*tches and white lotus frauds in the underground, you lot were still crying in the corner. And this? This isn’t even enough to amuse me!”

No one expected the supposed “useless” Alpha, cast out by his family, to have built an empire in the underground city. By his side stands a cold yet dignified youth whose overwhelming spiritual pressure inspires submission in all who meet them.

Underground Residents:

“What?! The flirtatious social butterfly turned out to be a ruthless, unstoppable king?!”
