London, veiled in mist and secrets, harbors more than just crime—it breathes martial arts, concealed techniques, and masters of the hidden world. After a fatal plunge at Reichenbach Falls, Sherlock Holmes awakens in a London unlike any he has known—one where the very air hums with inner power, and even the Queen has touched immortality. Here, Holmes is not just a detective; he is a warrior, a seeker of truth in a city where fists speak louder than words and the blade is as telling as a clue.... more>>

In a world where Baritsu is more than just self-defense, where even mu*der leaves traces of sword qi and hidden energy, Holmes must navigate a tangled web of Murim clans, deadly assassins, and ancient vendettas—all while trying to unravel the mystery of his own existence.

The game is afoot once more, but this time, the rules have changed. <<less

In 1965, the FBI’s Federal Bureau of Investigation targeted five of Demercy’s Mafia families.

Enter FBI agent Wayne Boyd, who infiltrated the Benedetti family, and his wife, Liliana Boyd, who secretly assisted in the investigation.

But in 1970, when their cover gets blown, death comes back to haunt them, and Liliana travels back nine years to wake up in 1961 in Demercy.

In the distant past, before everything happened, and even before she met Wayne.

𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒

“I heard there’s a jazz bar, and I wanted to know if they had any openings for vocalists.”

No death would be in vain in this life, so she turned on a whim and stepped into the darkness.

“At least let me sing a song.”

And the man who had taken her life, Theodoro Benedetti. He pushed her through the mud and shoved her back repeatedly.

As if he wanted her to return to the world of light and sunshine.

It was a ridiculously good intention.

“Nobility and innocence are the hardest things to keep in life, and I’ve given you many chances to go back.”

“…Did I ask you to? Have I asked you to protect my nobility and innocence?”

A hollow laugh, like a sigh, escaped from his lips.

Theodoro gazed into space with a bitter, scornful expression, and drew his pistol. He pointed it at the man and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Bang!

…Bang!

It was a deliberate miss. The man screams in agony.

With two bullet wounds in his thighs, the man slumped to the ground. Flinging Liliana’s back in front of him, Theodoro ordered.

“Then kill him.”

I chose the darkness, to bring back the light…

The brightest days of my life are fading into the darkness beyond. <<less

Bardiff — the primary source of the new drug, Wicked.... more>>

As Wicked begins circulating domestically, the NIS initiates Operation Wicked, aiming to dismantle and block its distribution channels by disrupting the five Korean cartel groups operating in Bardiff.

Cha Jeha, the NIS’s top black agent.

Go Haedeun, a white agent desperate to join the mission — and be by Jeha’s side.

Haedeun has been counting the days to meet him here in Bardiff.

“Have we slept together before? Or do you just hold a grudge against me?”

“Could you clarify what exactly you’re trying to say?”

“I’m not some gay bastard, or a total jerk, so why the hell are you clinging like this?”

No matter what, he must stay by his side.

Go Haedeun needs Cha Jeha.

Desperately.

And at last, Jeha reaches out his hand.

“How bad must your life be to like someone like me?”... more>>

“I’ll admit, you’ve got a point.”

“Man, you really know how to mess with someone, huh?”

Ji Youngwon, who runs an illegal errand service, encounters a peculiar client, Yoo Han.

“Uh, would it be okay if I pay… after the job is done?”

Yoo Han, a strange client claiming to have been swindled of all his money by an ex-lover, has no funds to offer upfront. Youngwon, though annoyed and amused by Yoo Han’s antics, decides to accept his proposal for the sake of a larger plan.

“If you’re eating and sleeping in my office, you’d better at least earn your keep.”

Youngwon uses Yoo Han’s unassuming and innocent appearance as bait to tackle troublesome jobs one by one.

Meanwhile, Yoo Han, who has never known the protection of an older man, finds himself hopelessly drawn to Youngwon. This love, though painful and seemingly out of reach, begins to bloom despite the odds. Just as always, Yoo Han has no choice but to love as though he’s never been hurt before.

---

“You came here with no money, wasting my time and coffee. So stop making that pathetic, wounded face and fix your expression.”

While Yoo Han had no retort, calling his hurt expression pathetic was harsh. He lowered his head, biting his lip. The job was already out of reach, and there was no reason to stay and endure more insults.

As Yoo Han reached for the door, Youngwon’s voice stopped him again.

“And do you think the guy who stole your money would’ve kept it intact? Saved it in a bank or something? Is that what you’re thinking?”

Caught off guard, Yoo Han slowly raised his head.

“The 5 million won you lost to Kim Minjae, or whatever his name is, is probably gone. Thinking of paying upfront with stolen money? That’s the kind of s*upidity only fools dream of.”

Even though Youngwon was stating facts, it felt like his dignity was being crushed entirely. Yoo Han’s wavering eyes met Youngwon’s piercing gaze. He could only take so much before snapping.

“If you’re not going to take the job, then stop lecturing me! I’ve heard enough already!” Youngwon smirked as if he’d heard an amusing joke.

“Who said I wouldn’t take the job?”

This guy had a talent for toying with people. Yoo Han, now fuming, turned completely toward Youngwon, their chests nearly touching.

“You did! You told me to leave earlier, didn’t you?!”

“I did. But I changed my mind.”

“And! Wait, what?” Yoo Han’s anger dissolved into confusion, his eyes widening.

“I don’t need a fee for this job. Just take this.”

One of Youngwon’s subordinates handed Yoo Han a pen and a piece of paper. Holding the contract in disbelief, Yoo Han looked back at Youngwon.

“You’re not taking a fee? Why would you take my case, boss?”

“Because I’ll collect something else.”

Yoo Han tilted his head, puzzled. “What is it?”

“Bell runner.”

“Bell runner? Seriously? Uh… how long do I have to keep doing this 'bell runner' thing?”

Youngwon flicked Yoo Han’s forehead lightly with his finger, as if the question was absurd.

“Until your job is done.” <<less

The King of Hell granted me life until the fifth watch, but my wife wants me dead by the third.... more>>

…

In the sixth year of the Tianwu era, at midnight, the third watch, the sky suddenly rained red. From then on, the world became a strange place…

The dead began to revive. A headless bride carrying a basket of fruit knocked on her husband’s door in the middle of the night. The legendary Lady Shi, who angrily sank a treasure chest, transformed into a golden lake demoness…

One day, I woke up in an unfamiliar body.... more>>

'Isaiah Díaz' wakes up one morning with a terrible headache.

The man staring back at him from the mirror is a pale, gloomy-faced, unfamiliar young Asian man.

On top of that, a corpse lies by the front door, accompanied by a mysterious note.

Two men break into Isaiah’s house before he can even report the situation to the police due to his confusion. They claim that he is 'Isaiah Cole,' a cold-blooded killer and the lover of Chester Kalisz, an underboss of a mafia organization known as the Kalisz family.

To make things worse, they say he has a job to assassinate his lover’s rival the very next day?!

But I’m just an ordinary college student who’s never even held a gun before!

Isaiah, Chester, and Chester’s right-hand man, Manny, pool their limited reasoning together and conclude that Isaiah is suffering from dissociative amnesia.

As confusion, panic, and fear overwhelm Isaiah, another underboss and the rival (a.k.a. assassination target), Bran Wiseman, appears before him.

“So, what’s your answer?”

Bran presses Isaiah for a reply.

It seems that something important was agreed upon between the two last night, but unfortunately, the Isaiah of today has no recollection of it.

Will Isaiah be able to navigate through this crisis?! <<less

“You already messed with me, and now you say this?” the man drawled lazily.

There was nothing he could do. So Lawyer Jian picked the man up and threw him onto the bed. <<less

He meets Lee Ha-na, a dangerous woman who intentionally approaches him to save her younger brother, who is in danger due to his colleague’s betrayal…

“Ciao.”

The man tilted his head and stared at her. To be precise, he stared at the muzzle and the black eyes beyond it.

“If you come any closer… I will kill you.”

“Coreano?”

“Si, come no.”

The man put his hand in his pocket and slowly made eye contact with one knee on the floor.

He brought his forehead to the aimed gun and gently grabbed her wrist.

She struggled to raise the corners of her mouth and quietly recited the man’s name.

“Julio Parenti.”

Giulio Parenti’s voice, who was staring at her lips with narrowed eyes, was as cold as ice.

“Ho aspettato. La mia morte.”

The breath she had held in slowly released.

He’s a devil with the face of an angel.

Or was it a monster? <<less

Han's simple daily life working part-time at a convenience store is suddenly turned upside down.

"Your debt amounts to a total of one hundred million and seven thousand."

With a timid and fearful personality, Han is unwittingly drawn into the world of the 'Tasenda' club to repay the massive debt he incurred. There, he meets Jang Taesin, a man who is a perfect fit for the depths of darkness.

From the moment Taesin laid eyes on Han, he was inexplicably drawn to him and began to obsessively pursue him, offering a proposal to keep him from escaping.

"I'll stay by your side only until I get tired of you. Once I'm tired of your body, I'll consider your debt paid and let you go."
"How long will it take for you to get tired of me?"
"About twenty times, and I won't get tired."

However, instead of getting tired, the thirst only grew stronger.

He wanted to see, touch, and possess him. Once he had his body, he found himself desiring his heart as well.

"Why don't I ever get to see that cheap smile of yours?"
"You'll never see me smile in front of you, even if I die."

Taesin couldn't understand why Han hated him so much, and Han couldn't fathom Taesin's obsession with him.

Thus, the tangled threads of a complex relationship began to weave between the two, as distant from the end of the world as they could be. Can these two people, who seem so far apart from the rest of the world, really be together? <<less

Every day, a recurring hellish dream. Junseong is stuck in a world that feels like an endless loop, much like a rogue-like game. It’s a cursed world where he struggles every day. Two months have passed since he set foot in the zombie apocalypse world in his dreams. “Ha….” As soon as he woke up, his gaze was instinctively drawn to the internet broadcast that he habitually left on. -A major riot is occurring in some regions due to the current situation… Then, beep! A loud sound announcing a disaster alert echoed in Junseong’s head. Unconsciously picking up his phone along with the alarm sound, Junseong couldn’t hide his confused expression.... more>>

[10:44 AM] It was the exact time he had always woken up in his dream. Everything was just like his usual dreams. However, a man he had never seen in his dreams before, Do-hanseo, appeared right in front of Junseong. “I’ve been wanting to ask you something.”

“What?” As Junseong was about to reply, he felt a change in Hanseo’s gaze. The smile that had been on his lips disappeared. Consequently, Junseong felt a strong, cold, and sharp pressure, as if a dagger was piercing his throat. “Why do you look at me like that?” Feeling the strange pressure, Junseong, who had tightly sealed his lips for a moment, asked instead. “How am I… looking at you?”

“….” Instead of an immediate answer, Hanseo just gazed silently. Then, he showed the ‘fake smile’ he had been holding onto a little while ago. His clothes were too clean, his body had no wounds, and the smell of blood was so strong in comparison. When he took off his clothes, he could be sure. The scent of blood from the man named Do-hanseo was not from his ‘clothes’ but emanated from him. <<less

From that moment on, he was unstoppable.

A loyal subordinate died.... more>>

The guy had a daughter who just turned twenty, and he had been excited to finally meet her in a week.

He said that she didn't know what he looked like because he hadn't seen her since she was very young and she hadn't been given a photo of him.

"Who are you, Ahjussi?"

"Me? I'm your dad."

"You don't look like me at all."

"...—'s friend."

“Tell my dad this: ‘I don’t need your money.’ That’s what I came out here to say.”

Twenty-year-old Han Yeoreum, a college student, gathered all the money sent by her gangster biological father and only used the money she earned through her scholarship and her part-time job.

In front of her, a man named Jeong Haegun appeared like a calamity.

"Ahjussi, I made it clear that you shouldn't cross the line. 1,000 won for every time you cross it."

"What, so if I cross it, you want me to give you 1,000 won?"

Haegun chuckled and pulled out his wallet. He took out a bank note and mischievously waved it in the air.

"What should I do, Yeoreum? Looks like I'll be crossing it more than ten-thousand times with this."

A romance with her dad's suspicious and needlessly affectionate friend. <<less

The first love that had met a cruel end appeared before her once more.... more>>

Do you, by any chance, remember? That we, too, once had such impulses. Cold lips pressed gently, and a red tongue peeked out between slightly parted lips.

It wasn’t a kiss.

It was merely a light touch, as if to gauge the other’s feelings. He didn’t move a muscle until her lips pulled away.

As if he hadn’t anticipated the mistake, the surprised look on his face made her feel embarrassed.

“…Sorry, did you not like it?”

Without a word, he looked up at her.

Blinking a few times as he stared directly at her, he suddenly grabbed her trembling wrist and whispered in a husky voice:

“Do it again.”

“…What?”

Her eyes opened wide.

“I said do it again. It was too short—I couldn’t tell if I liked it or not.” <<less

While tracking a suspect, a man was found collapsed on a mountain path.

“How is it possible there’s not a single fingerprint or trace of DNA?”

He named the man ‘Yeong-sik’ and decided to live together.

“Ahjussi, do you hate Yeong-sik?”

“I don’t hate him. Mr. Yeong-sik is such a nice man.”

Despite his cold appearance, Yeong-sik was a gentle man.

In Ieum’s eyes, Yeong-sik always appeared obedient….

“Damn it, did I walk into a tiger’s den?”

His memories came flooding back. <<less
