- [BTT 138](https://oceanstale.com/the-game-of-becoming-the-tagger/btt-138/): “Just wait a little longer. I’ll come right away as soon as I finish work.” ―……. “Besides, even if you come, there’s nothing for you to do.” ―……. “And you’re a special publicity soldier now, right? You’re not a combat soldier, so you have no responsibilities.” ―Not yet. “What do you mean ‘not yet’? It’s basically the same since the approval will come through anyway. And…” Hae-jun checked that no one around was listening before lowering his voice to a whisper. “You still need to be careful.” The night the first Gate appeared. Lee A-gon killed the two Espers who...
- [BTT 137 Side Story 1](https://oceanstale.com/the-game-of-becoming-the-tagger/btt-137-side-story-1/): A four-Mugunghwa emergency was triggered at dawn. Mugunghwa was a term similar to the military’s Jindo Dog Alert or the police’s Gap-ho Emergency Order; it signified an emergency state for the Esper-Guide Corps—specifically, the appearance of a Gate. This was the first occurrence in about four months since the first Gate. By this time, a considerable amount of data had been accumulated due to the global phenomenon of Gate appearances, allowing for a more composed response. The monsters that emerged from the second Gate were bees. They were the size of an adult man’s upper body, and they would drive...
- [WNC SS 63](https://oceanstale.com/the-warrior-of-the-namgung-clan-reincarnated-in-a-romance-fantasy/wnc-ss-63/): Upon returning to the capital, the first thing I did was restructure the merchant guild’s organizational chart. My father, who had declared his retirement from the front lines the moment I arrived, remained as the guild master in name only. Ivan and I both took on the title of vice guild master. Beneath me, I placed four friends as operational staff, and beneath Ivan, two friends to handle accounting and administration. In addition to them, I appointed four more individuals to middle management positions, unrelated to personal connections. This granted everyone in the guild, except myself, the authority to assign...
- [WNC SS 62](https://oceanstale.com/the-warrior-of-the-namgung-clan-reincarnated-in-a-romance-fantasy/wnc-ss-62/): The Second Prince was very fond of Mikael. Anyone could tell that after spending just three minutes with the two of them. His gaze upon Mikael was incredibly ardent. Of course, it was evident that Mikael also liked and cherished the Second Prince greatly, but the Second Prince’s behavior had a peculiar side to it. First, he became extremely sensitive whenever Mikael’s gaze drifted to a distant point. Mikael would often perch on the windowsill, an uncharacteristic act for a noble, but he would sit there nonetheless, observing the Golden Turtles outside and the people drawn to them. Each time,...
- [WNC SS 61](https://oceanstale.com/the-warrior-of-the-namgung-clan-reincarnated-in-a-romance-fantasy/wnc-ss-61/): The disaster brought by the high waves was shattered by the hero’s hand and vanished, leaving only a bitter saltiness behind. All the people of Yulan returned to their daily lives, each with a wondrous story to cherish in their hearts. The meaning of the Golden Turtle was special to the people of Yulan. Those who had witnessed a fragment of the myth they had heard like a dream since childhood were busy chattering about the tales they would pass down for generations. The Yulan Princess’s generous aid bolstered the people’s spirits. Thanks to her, all the citizens of the...
- [BMD 480](https://oceanstale.com/bermuda/bmd-480/): A ticklish breath settled on his face. Leonardo closed and opened his eyes, following the touch that brushed his cheek. The gaze of the man facing him was distinctly different from before. The sharp intelligence that had gleamed like a gem was gone, replaced only by an expanding gloominess in the black pupils. Because of that, his irises had taken on a hue like the indigo sky they had seen together at dawn. The prey that had hidden within that darkness was now looking down at him as the hunter. ‘…Are you curious?’ Of course I am. But he couldn’t...
- [MIT 163](https://oceanstale.com/i-became-a-monster-in-a-trash-game/mit-163when-the-long-joint-training-ended-the-world-outside-the-window-was-already-pitch-black/): When the long joint training ended, the world outside the window was already pitch black. As it was a once-a-month event, they were far past the expected quitting time. Jin Mu-hae washed away all the sweat in the shower room attached to the annex before preparing to leave Central. Joo-oh, who had only been watching, hurriedly followed, saying he would shower too, so he chased him back to the office, telling him to shower or splash around when he got back. He had no intention of exposing him naked in a space where the guards were walking around. “Only Jin...
- [MIT 162](https://oceanstale.com/i-became-a-monster-in-a-trash-game/mit-162i-heard-the-story-i-heard-you-stopped-a-terrorist-attack-recently/): “I heard the story. I heard you stopped a terrorist attack recently.” “It was nothing much.” “The higher-ups seem to have been quite impressed. They told me to spare no expense for the budget needed for the lecture.” Oh, great. They made a big deal out of it. It seems that the attention of the defense force is even more focused on the instructions that were obviously influenced by Gu-reum. “However, the work of a mercenary and the work of the defense force are very different from what they seem, so it may be difficult to adapt.” Surprisingly, it wasn’t...
- [Deflower 6](https://oceanstale.com/deflower-me-if-you-can/deflower-6/): As expected, the surroundings were utterly quiet, with not a single trace of any presence felt. Perfect. Soon, he escaped the room and began running busily. Straight toward the snack bar where the treats were prepared. Chocolate chip cookies, caramel, jelly, candy, ice cream, pudding…. All sorts of snacks flew through his mind. I’ll eat them all! Just as he was excitedly crossing the hallway, a door suddenly swung open and Ashley walked out. “Bliss, there you are.” Seeing Bliss charging toward him, he immediately bent down and lifted the child with one hand. “Uh…!” To the bewildered Bliss, caught...
- [STM 105 Side Story 4](https://oceanstale.com/everyone-is-suspiciously-targeting-me/stm-105-side-story-4/): The soft glans briefly contracted the opening before pushing through and entering. The fully inserted cock swelled tautly once more inside. As it pressed against the sensitive spot, a tingling sensation shot up my spine. “Ngh… haah.” The unceasing, continuous excitement was harder to endure than expected. The fact that it wasn’t an unpleasant sensation often made me feel a sense of irony. As I exhaled and bit down on my lip, Ardian pressed his lips against mine as if to tell me not to do that. His tongue slipped through the gap between my teeth, and while the heat...
- [LNU 189](https://oceanstale.com/lets-not-underestimate-the-original-work/lnu-189/): The false castle that reflects everything and the Secluded mirror inside the castle. At first, it was difficult to guess what kind of place it was referring to. Even Lennox, who had become knowledgeable about the ancient legends and folktales of various places while investigating the traces of the Ancient God, pondered and suggested narrowing down a few candidates. He had been so insistent that I come to the north as soon as possible that I thought he had planned the next step more clearly… but it turned out that all he had done was discover the Sanctuary located in...
- [9 - Chapter 9 Part 2](https://oceanstale.com/into-the-thrill/9-chapter-9-part-2/): I could understand Hae-won’s insistence on this bed. The prison floor was so hard it hurt his protruding bones. He had spent a year tossing and turning in such a place. His body, which had grown accustomed to the hard floor, now felt unfamiliar with the soft touch of the mattress and bedding that gently supported his weight. Combined with the body scent that lulled his consciousness, Woo-jin didn’t want to get up even though he was already awake. He lay there stubbornly, gazing out the window as dawn broke hazily. Then, as if sensing the unfamiliar presence lying beside...
- [LNU 188](https://oceanstale.com/lets-not-underestimate-the-original-work/lnu-188/): “Did you hear? The Crown Prince has gone completely mad.” “Huh? Why all of a sudden?” “Well, he was attacked by mountain beasts at the entrance to the northern Mountain Range a few weeks ago. The Crown Prince is fine, but it seems the prospective Crown Princess was tragically lost. I have a friend in the mountain guard who told me that ever since then…” The herbalist, whose face was etched with the wrinkles of a hard life, clucked his tongue as he chatted with a regular old woman. It wasn’t surprising news, as he’d heard similar stories many times...
- [WNC SS 60](https://oceanstale.com/the-warrior-of-the-namgung-clan-reincarnated-in-a-romance-fantasy/wnc-ss-60/): Ivan pondered for exactly three seconds before standing up immediately. His hands moved swiftly as he put on the coat he had set aside. Unthinkingly, I also put on my coat. Ivan turned to me and nodded. It meant ‘follow me.’ He seemed like a completely different person from the one who had been pouting cutely just moments before. Ivan lowered his voice and asked the messenger. “Did Annabella Sendo Yulan and Gerald Sendo Yulan deliver that message?” “Yes.” “Where are they now?” “Their condition was dire, so I had them wait at a safe house closest to the Royal...
- [WNC SS 59](https://oceanstale.com/the-warrior-of-the-namgung-clan-reincarnated-in-a-romance-fantasy/wnc-ss-59/): I visited Marquis Murray’s mansion. Conversations that I felt I shouldn’t be privy to, including stories about divine objects from various countries, were casually exchanged over the dining table and tea table. There were all sorts of stories, but the most impressive was the hand signal a servant who attended the young prince and princess at the Marquis Murray household subtly revealed to our party, unbeknownst to the children. Surprisingly, it was almost identical to the hand signal Ivan had shown Windy when he first arrived in Yulan. The only difference was that it was shown under the table, not...
- [WNC SS 58](https://oceanstale.com/the-warrior-of-the-namgung-clan-reincarnated-in-a-romance-fantasy/wnc-ss-58/): I knew spirits existed too. Wizards who wielded magic collected Mana Stones, and Spirit Masters who handled spirits collected Spirit Stones. The Moonstones scattered on Moonstone Beach were also a type of Spirit Stone. Even if I couldn’t see or wield Mana, as long as objects created by the results of magic and Spirit Arts circulated in this world, I knew well that they existed on this land. But I never thought I would actually see a spirit in my lifetime. Mikael called out to a spirit with a cry so bizarre it didn’t match his fairy-like beautiful face. Something...
- [IM 63](https://oceanstale.com/im-the-mi-yeong-you-were-looking-for-oppa-lol/im-63/): It was an Alliance Territory that GoodLuck swept and cleaned every day, BBQ diligently farmed, and other Alliance Members cozily decorated with the trinkets they each bought. Mo Yeon-hu didn’t want to see that get ruined, so he spent money without a care, not even knowing how much he was burning through. At Mo Yeon-hu’s words, Miu quietly stared at him. Soon, Miu’s character in combat gear slowly rose from their seat, brushing off their hands. (CH03) Miu: You’re a really strange person. Mo Yeon-hu sheepishly ran a hand through his hair. Honestly, he had almost forgotten that he had...
- [IM 62](https://oceanstale.com/im-the-mi-yeong-you-were-looking-for-oppa-lol/im-62/): Mo Yeon-hu blinked as he looked at the Alliance Territory of Pegasus, which still resembled ruins. Just two days ago, this had been the territory of a thriving alliance ranked 9th in the X-1211 server’s alliance rankings. A place full of life, like the 47 he was in now, where people played and chatted together. But now… ‘To be ruined overnight like this, it’s really strange.’ Seeing the Alliance Territory in such a wrecked state, as if a war had been fought, weighed heavily on his heart. ‘Who did it?’ For what reason? He had never experienced something like this...
- [76 – Recolor 76](https://oceanstale.com/recolor/76-recolor-76/): After work, Eun-ha had lunch with Yeon-jun. After that, it naturally led to spending the afternoon together. They stopped by the bank, went to the library, and with time to spare, even watched a recently released movie. Before they knew it, evening had arrived. As dinner naturally followed, Eun-ha had to endure a steady barrage of questions from Yeon-jun. With sparkling eyes, he kept inquiring about Eun-ha for quite a while. Most of it was about basic information and preferences. Favorite foods and disliked foods, disliked behaviors, hobbies, birthday, friends… From the seamless flow of questions, as if reading from...
- [75 – Recolor 75](https://oceanstale.com/recolor/75-recolor-75/): Eun-ha’s lips twitched, then closed them slightly, feeling helplessly powerless from the endlessly exposed inner thoughts. His feelings were endlessly overwhelming. At the same time, he realized anew. What kind of existence had he been to this kid all this time? And how often had he hurt such a kid? Had he promised to do well? Eun-ha thought indifferently with a hint of emptiness. Truly, it was an undeserved promise. Trapped in the embrace, he quietly prolonged the silence for a while before suddenly opening his mouth. “Yeon-jun.” “……Yes.” “I’ll do well too.” It seemed like a vague promise. The...
- [BSW 157](https://oceanstale.com/bloodstained-water/bsw-157/): 157 Ho-eun swung his Hair Tie, excitedly looking around the house, and then diligently began to organize his belongings. Chilbok had offered to do it, but he refused and decided to do it himself. Ho-eun knelt in front of the drawers and chattered as he carefully placed his clothes in the bottom compartment. “It feels like I’ve really moved in. I didn’t feel so uncomfortable when I slept in the tent or the barracks, but having a floor and a ceiling like this, I’m ashamed to say… it’s nice.” “……” The listener, Tae-muk, didn’t respond. He was sitting on the...
- [BSW 156](https://oceanstale.com/bloodstained-water/bsw-156/): 156 “I heard the young master killed eight Eater Bugs?” “Eight? By himself? That’s amazing.” “I saw it. He pierced their eyeballs in one shot, right?” “Eyeballs? With a bullet the size of a fingernail? Wow……” “He’s no God of War, but how many Bondmates can kill eight at once?” “That’s right, that’s right. It’s a big deal.” “No wonder he’s the Captain’s partner.” “I guess so.” Soldiers carrying Devouring Ghoul corpses chattered as they came down the slope. Ho-eun, who was walking up, stopped breathing and hid behind a collapsed house nearby. Then, he hunched his shoulders and groaned...
- [BSW 155](https://oceanstale.com/bloodstained-water/bsw-155/): 155 Ho-eun followed Tae-muk with his eyes, losing him, barely finding him again, and then losing him again. Even though he was just standing on the high wall and following him with his eyes, it was difficult to keep up with his movements. Then, at some point, someone’s shout was heard dully, and Tae-muk raised his head sharply and started running at an even faster speed than before. And then he disappeared behind the wall of a large house. “Uh…” Ho-eun lifted his heels and swayed his body slowly from side to side, trying to see him. “Young Master.” Gil-sang...
- [MOTD 60](https://oceanstale.com/magic-on-the-dead/motd-60/): It was such a sudden realization. The correlation between zombies and rain. Jeffrey, barely able to interpret Eden’s words, muttered a low curse through his teeth. [Shit, what the hell is this? Zombies avoid the rain?] “Uncles! Phone call!!” At that moment, everyone’s attention was drawn to Byeol’s loud shout. A phone call? Without time to think rationally, everyone frantically searched for their cell phones. In that gap, Mi-so grabbed the child and asked. “Byeol, what do you mean a phone call?” “That thing. Thick and square….” “Huh?” “The phone the police officers use….” Beep—! It was the moment Ha-jin...
- [MOTD 59](https://oceanstale.com/magic-on-the-dead/motd-59/): Eden laid out several thick broadleaf branches he had picked up along the way. He chose one with a straight grain and tightly wrapped rope around its middle. Veins popped on the back of his hand. “What are you doing?” Mi-so, shuffling over, squatted down. “Making weapons. The axes we have are too old.” “You know how to do this too? Oh, right, you said you were in the Special Forces.” After splitting the top of the stick in half, Eden inserted a suitably sized stone. His hands moved decisively, tying the stone securely with rope above, below, and in...
- [MOTD 58](https://oceanstale.com/magic-on-the-dead/motd-58/): Far from the In-San to No-Gwang Expressway, at the foot of Jeongmang Mountain. To escape the zombies that had descended since morning and the scorching sun, the group had taken refuge under a large rock. Throughout several near-death experiences, Eden had felt a strange sense of unease. Morning and the night just before falling asleep. The zombies were pouring down at exactly half-day intervals. It was a regular disaster, as if someone had deliberately timed the release of the zombies. “I… I really can’t walk anymore. I’m thirsty, and I’m gonna, gonna die, Director… sob.” Park Chun-beom finally burst into...
- [SMC #109](https://oceanstale.com/being-a-secretary-is-my-calling/smc-109/): Most conversations at company dinners revolve around work-related topics. Hot internal issues always provide a dopamine rush. While scooping up the ice cream served for dessert, the secretaries also brought up various rumors they had picked up. “Is Director Kwon Young-ho really returning? There’s a lot of talk about this.” “Do you know anything, General Manager?” “Well. He might come back. The only thing for sure is we’ll know when the personnel announcement comes out.” Rumors were circulating that Kwon Young-ho, who had been exiled to China, was gradually making his way back to headquarters. This too was becoming an...
- [TLT 115](https://oceanstale.com/the-lassitude/tlt-115/): ‘Can’t you just not go to him?’ The innermost thoughts were swept away by the waves, instantly engulfing everything. Honest feelings hotly consumed his mind. The unspeakable true feelings were so dirty and disgusting that he couldn’t possibly bring them out. Me, jealous? That’s absurd. Just thinking about it made his stomach churn. Yet, he couldn’t hold onto the fleeting feelings. Still, he didn’t want Yi-tae to be with Ian, and he didn’t want his love to leave him and stay elsewhere. He pushed the fresh kimchi a little closer to Choi Gyeoul. The bowl was gradually showing its bottom....
- [TLT 114](https://oceanstale.com/the-lassitude/tlt-114/): He’s drunk. Gyeoul could usually handle his liquor pretty well. But to drink so much that he couldn’t even enter the password correctly. I heard him grumbling, “Ugh…” as he pressed the numbers again, probably getting it wrong. For some reason, I didn’t want to open the door and check on him. Even though I knew it could be dangerous for him to be outside in that state. Finally, I managed to move my uncooperative feet toward the entrance, and the door burst open. “Oh, Yi-tae!” Gyeoul smiled brightly, blinking slowly. He pointed at me with his finger, a puzzled...
- [WNC SS 57](https://oceanstale.com/the-warrior-of-the-namgung-clan-reincarnated-in-a-romance-fantasy/wnc-ss-57/): I had no intention of asking why he hadn’t told me such things. Ivan tried to tell me most of what I was curious about. If I didn’t understand, he explained it ten, a hundred times until I did. He simply didn’t bring up stories he knew I wasn’t curious about. Among Yulan’s fishing boats, those without magic defense artifacts did not return. The merchant ships that departed from Sierren and headed for Yulan were no different. If more Sierren ships had disappeared, the story would have been different, but recently Yeldidus had been maneuvering to monopolize trade using the...
- [WNC SS 56](https://oceanstale.com/the-warrior-of-the-namgung-clan-reincarnated-in-a-romance-fantasy/wnc-ss-56/): I played ten games, winning six, losing three, and drawing one. After spending the summer by the sea and the autumn on the beach, winter arrived. I heard news of a major incident in Grimsvein. However, as Ivan had instructed, I had little to do besides sending a few letters to Sierren’s capital and diligently receiving and signing reports before sending them back. The Crowell Merchant Guild, which had focused on Mana Stones and minerals, suffered immense damage, but the Eldos Merchant Guild was largely unharmed. This was thanks to Ivan, who had advised me to stay out of the...
- [WNC SS 55](https://oceanstale.com/the-warrior-of-the-namgung-clan-reincarnated-in-a-romance-fantasy/wnc-ss-55/): I was so relieved that all the strength drained from my body. Even if I had collapsed, I would have just floated in the water, but Ivan swam skillfully towards me. I floated there blankly, scooping up seawater to wash my face a couple of times. Ivan, who came close and peered at me, looked too clean and unruffled, which pissed me off. Splash. I splashed water at him, and he didn’t dodge, just took the water straight on, then laughed. “Why were you so surprised?” “Where, where did you go…” “I copied you. It seemed faster to dart through...
- [BMD 479](https://oceanstale.com/bermuda/bmd-479/): “Ah—!” At that moment, a sharp moan escaped Leonardo’s lips. His eyebrows furrowed, and he flinched his fingertips like a cat caught doing something naughty. The precarious touch flickered over his abdomen because Hugo’s lips had suddenly tightened. Saliva continued to flow, seeping past the tight corners of his mouth, and the man’s throat convulsed as he tried to swallow. The pressure inside his mouth increased accordingly. The glans, which had been twitching, relentlessly rubbed against the mucous membrane. “Hng, aahk….” A sensual sigh escaped Leonardo’s lips. His golden eyelashes fluttered faintly from the intense stimulation. He curled his arched...
- [MIT 161](https://oceanstale.com/i-became-a-monster-in-a-trash-game/mit-161/): The people of Central generally do not engage in physical labor. It’s not so much that they consider it trivial, but rather, they are extremely averse to being exposed to danger. Trapped in their Comfort zone, humanity is constantly plagued by external threats. As a result, the Blue Energy generation is more obsessed with safety than ever before in history. However, unlike the security forces stationed throughout Goryeo City, the Defense Force has its headquarters in Central. Solely due to this locational advantage, the Defense Force has earned a kind of royalty. Add to this the hollow honor of protecting...
- [MIT 160](https://oceanstale.com/i-became-a-monster-in-a-trash-game/mit-160as-the-day-dawned-jin-mu-hae-momentarily-doubted-if-the-events-of-the-early-morning-had-been-a-dream/): As the day dawned, Jin Mu-hae momentarily doubted if the events of the early morning had been a dream. Joo-oh was up with an utterly unfazed expression, eating breakfast alone. And at an earlier hour than usual, having opened two boxes of cereal… “Does all that even fit in your empty stomach?” “Yep.” “I’m the fool for asking.” “Haha. Fool.” He was gulping down what he used to grumble about being fake milk. Joo-oh, who licked his lips clean and emptied the bowl with relish, approached Mu-hae humming a tune. While Mu-hae sat on the floor, checking the almost-healed wound,...
- [Deflower 5](https://oceanstale.com/deflower-me-if-you-can/deflower-5/): “Um, how high-ranking is a duke? They don’t actually have much real power, right? In England, the king is just a symbolic figure.” To the cautious question, Ashley answered nonchalantly. “Think of them as relatives of the royal family. They don’t directly engage in politics, but the Strickland family holds considerable influence both within the UK and internationally, so it’s advantageous to build a connection with them.” He then added languidly. “Seeing as they’re bringing their son along, it seems they also intend to build some level of relationship with us.” “I see, I understand.” Koi nodded and then looked...
- [STM 104 Side Story 3](https://oceanstale.com/everyone-is-suspiciously-targeting-me/stm-104-side-story-3/): I glared at the guy who casually uttered the terrifying statement that he would do it all night. “I have to return to the main house tomorrow evening.” Otherwise, the family would clamor about when they would come down. So it was a way of saying, ‘Do it moderately.’ In response, instead of answering, Ardian grinned, came back down on top of me, kissed my lips, and took off my clothes. As he carelessly shed his own disheveled top and let it drop to the floor by the bed, he looked exactly like a moving painting. His indifferently lowered eyelashes...
- [STM 103 Side Story 2](https://oceanstale.com/everyone-is-suspiciously-targeting-me/stm-103-side-story-2/): I pressed the soft mound of his lips firmly, then parted the seam with my tongue. When I accepted it without resistance, the thing that had been exploring my mouth, lightly tapping the tender flesh, slipped out and swept over my lower lip. Finally, Ardian, who had pressed and released my lips like stamping a seal, smiled right in front of my nose. “…Who was that human child earlier?” “Curious?” He stalled instead of properly answering my question, so I pulled his tie a little tighter. Ardian, who grinned brightly, rubbed and stroked my cheek with his thumb as he...
- [LNU 187](https://oceanstale.com/lets-not-underestimate-the-original-work/lnu-187/): His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his knights held out reasonably well for a while. The number of beasts still swarming around disgustingly had not decreased, but the knights clearly had a faint glimmer of hope on their faces as they engaged in battle, as if they thought they were steadily defeating them. Above all, the fact that there had been no serious injuries or deaths so far since the commotion began was the most effective. Besides, the enemies surrounding us were not fallen Demon beasts, but ordinary beasts. “Please hold on a little longer, Your Highness! We will...
- [LNU 186](https://oceanstale.com/lets-not-underestimate-the-original-work/lnu-186/): I thought we would go to the room after leaving the drawing room, but the destination was strange. The Crown Prince and I naturally used the main bedroom of the castle used by the lord and his wife in every territory we went to. But his steps, which had suddenly picked me up, didn’t go up the stairs leading to the second floor, but instead went straight out to the courtyard and then strode towards the garden. “Eung? Where are you going?” “We have to leave again tomorrow, don’t we? I thought we should get some fresh air before that....
- [WNC SS 54](https://oceanstale.com/the-warrior-of-the-namgung-clan-reincarnated-in-a-romance-fantasy/wnc-ss-54/): Moonstone Beach. The beach, famous for its night view that shimmered softly like the moon, was beautiful even in the middle of the day. In front of the endless stretch of fine, powdery white sand, the blue sea gleamed like jade. The sea, with only a few wisps of white clouds barely resting on the horizon, crashed ceaselessly, and dark rocks jutting out on the distant land met the surging foam with their bodies. Among the bright, fine sand, mixed as if with gold and silver dust, round pebbles the color of rocks rolled about in great numbers. Each time...
- [WNC SS 53](https://oceanstale.com/the-warrior-of-the-namgung-clan-reincarnated-in-a-romance-fantasy/wnc-ss-53/): It must be true. Fuck, I… I think I’m a pervert. After being fucked until I cried and fainted, my mind was surprisingly clear. Realizing I had whined out of frustration made me feel so sorry and guilty. Later, I cried and begged for forgiveness, saying I was sorry and wrong, but Ivan showed no mercy. I couldn’t muster strength in my waist. I was just lying on my side, enduring the shame. “…You’re awake?” Ivan’s muffled voice came from behind me. Startled by the rustling sound as he moved, I squeezed my eyes shut, but as expected, his arm,...
- [WNC SS 52](https://oceanstale.com/the-warrior-of-the-namgung-clan-reincarnated-in-a-romance-fantasy/wnc-ss-52/): The woman’s name was Nova. Nova was born in Songbrue Port, married a fisherman husband, and had three children. When her husband, who woke before dawn to go out on the boat, returned and woke her, they would dry the nets together and prepare breakfast. After her husband fell asleep, she would go to the market and sell disposable fishing rods, lures, and the like to tourists. Tourists visiting Yulan for the first time usually wanted similar things. The wide-open sea, the bustling port, the low, snow-white houses that looked like they belonged in a fairy tale. So Nova diligently...
- [BSW 154](https://oceanstale.com/bloodstained-water/bsw-154/): 154 Killing a Devouring Ghoul, yeah, I actually wanted to try it once. Like Tae-muk said, I couldn’t just keep shooting at targets forever. But now that the opportunity was so close, I was afraid. It wasn’t that I was afraid I wouldn’t hit the Devouring Ghoul. “W-What if I shoot wrong and hit someone else?” I was afraid that I, being the idiot that I am, would shoot the Gun at the wrong place. What if Dong-ja got hit by that bullet? What if Man-soo got hit? That couldn’t happen. Absolutely not, that could never happen. But Tae-muk replied...
- [BSW 153](https://oceanstale.com/bloodstained-water/bsw-153/): 153 “…….” Tae-muk stared down at Ho-eun. Ho-eun’s thick eyelashes, slightly raised cheekbones, and the particularly pointed upper lip were reflected in his dark eyes. Then, at some point. “Ah.” Tae-muk let out a soft sigh. Ho-eun, startled, widened his eyes. “Are you in pain?” As he was about to withdraw his hand, Tae-muk pulled it and said. “Walk.” “Pardon?” “I like walks.” “Ah…….” Ho-eun’s voice trailed off. He remembered the walk he had taken with Tae-muk one night when the moon was bright. It must have been the day he first practiced shooting. He was so excited about killing...
- [BSW 152](https://oceanstale.com/bloodstained-water/bsw-152/): 152 “Where are you going to wash up? Is there even a place to wash here?” Ho-eun looked around. But all there was were trees and snow. Was he going to wash with snow? Can you even wash with that? He was thinking. “There is.” Tae-muk said, staring at something unseen between the trees. Ho-eun also turned his gaze there. But as expected, he couldn’t see anything. Then, Tae-muk asked in a low voice. “……Want to go together?” Ho-eun looked up at him abruptly. He blinked slowly, then smiled faintly and nodded. “Yes. I want to go with you.” At...
- [MOTD 57](https://oceanstale.com/magic-on-the-dead/motd-57/): Sweat dripped from his forehead. The heat radiating from their bodies, pressed tightly together, was considerable, but he didn’t find it unpleasant. Compared to the stench of decaying corpses and the foul odor of sewage, the smell of sweat from each other’s bodies was sweeter and more fragrant than any perfume. He sat there, nose buried, unmoving for what felt like tens of minutes. Thump, thump, thump. Ha-jin listened to the steady rhythm of Eden’s heartbeat. The zombies that had been circling nearby seemed to have disappeared, and even the howling had faded away at some point. “Ahem, should we...
- [MOTD 56](https://oceanstale.com/magic-on-the-dead/motd-56/): The air grew heavy and humid, like being trapped in a sauna. Ha-jin blinked the sweat from his eyelashes. Even with all his senses focused outward, he couldn’t help but bite his lip at the sound of Eden’s heartbeat resonating near his collarbone. He removed the hand that was gripping his arm and placed his right palm against the rough wall next to Eden’s face, but this pose felt just as awkward. Didn’t it look like he was about to pounce on him? Skin, radiating heat through the thin T-shirt, pressed against his. He couldn’t even step back, lest he...
- [MOTD 55](https://oceanstale.com/magic-on-the-dead/motd-55/): “Zombies are coming.” It was a statement that felt utterly detached from reality. Ha-jin, who had been standing there with his mouth agape, tried to ignore the goosebumps gradually spreading across his skin as he rose from his spot. “Zo-Zombies are coming? At this hour?” Eden didn’t answer, instead moving to shake the others awake, who were already sound asleep. Byeol, who had been whining about being sleepy, quickly shut his mouth at Eden’s heavy atmosphere. Without even bothering to brush off the dry leaves stuck to their backs, everyone, gripped by panic, efficiently packed their belongings. A disconcerting silence...

He crawled over on his knees and snatched the ring from Kwon Young-je’s hand. The carefree demeanor he had maintained vanished, and now he moved like lightning. Without even taking a breath, he opened the window and flung the ring outside. Meanwhile, Kwon Young-je had unearthed another piece of Hui-won’s old, embarrassing past. He had somehow managed to find the diary buried at the bottom. As soon as Hui-won saw it, he covered his face. He knew what that was. The exchange diary he used with an ex-lover. From around...
- [TLT 113](https://oceanstale.com/the-lassitude/tlt-113/): The atmosphere was no different from usual. We ordered our usual dishes and talked about work. The only difference was that Ian ordered wine. He liked alcohol, but come to think of it, I could count on one hand the number of times I’d drunk with him. Before long, a delicious-looking steak was placed in front of me. A soft melody filled the space, as if they had invited a violinist today. Last time it was a piano. Ian was still calm. He picked up his knife and skillfully cut the steak. I had the funny thought that his elegant...
- [TLT 112](https://oceanstale.com/the-lassitude/tlt-112/): He wasn’t good at refusing people who acted strange when they usually didn’t. Ian’s face was more serious than he thought, and he looked like he had something to say. So, he really didn’t have any important schedules… He didn’t know why he was hesitant to accept even though he had time. It was just that passing thoughts were catching on something, like a burr in his mind. Only thoughts were piling up on his stagnant heart. Without being able to say anything out loud. “Okay.” In the end, he nodded. Ian’s lips softened. He’d been smiling more often lately....
- [8 - Chapter 8 Part 2](https://oceanstale.com/into-the-thrill/8-chapter-8-part-2/): Winter had arrived. When the clouds grew heavy, what fell from the sky was not rain but snow. Of all seasons, it had to be winter. A season where the biting wind gnawed at one’s body. Fiddling with the sleeve of the down coat Woo-jin had gifted him, Hae-won was looking out the window. The sky was dark, as if a blizzard was about to pour down. Even though it was daytime, the whole world was dim. He turned his head at the sound of movement. A man in a deep gray coat was approaching him. “You’re the one who...
- [WNC SS 51](https://oceanstale.com/the-warrior-of-the-namgung-clan-reincarnated-in-a-romance-fantasy/wnc-ss-51/): The two-story villa Ivan Bikoff had procured lay adjacent to the blue waves of the coast. Though not tall, the building boasted a wide span from side to side, its exterior walls painted a brilliant white, shimmering just as Yulan’s buildings always did. Because all the windows on the upper floor opened towards the sea, everyone who entered the villa could savor the scent and sound of the ocean at any time. Ivan and I were standing on the second-floor terrace. The laborers, divided into groups of twos and fours, had spread out all the items they brought into the...
- [WNC SS 50](https://oceanstale.com/the-warrior-of-the-namgung-clan-reincarnated-in-a-romance-fantasy/wnc-ss-50/): We arrived at Songbrue Port with the sunset. As soon as Ivan dropped anchor, he immediately rounded up every single person in our party and herded them into a nearby inn. Washed clean, changed into new clothes, and having eaten and drunk their fill, everyone fell into a deep sleep as if they had experienced nothing at all. While everyone else rested, I was paired with Paul to patrol the rooms, under the charge of being the vice-leader of the Eldos Merchant Guild. Were any people missing? Was anyone suffering from lingering aftereffects? Were the doors properly locked? I even...
- [WNC SS 49](https://oceanstale.com/the-warrior-of-the-namgung-clan-reincarnated-in-a-romance-fantasy/wnc-ss-49/): Ivan did exactly as he pleased. I only realized then that “washing me” meant washing me all the way inside my body. I struggled, saying “this isn’t right,” but eventually gave up and just held the wall and cried. In the bedroom, I could cover myself with blankets or other things, and the lighting was dimmer, so it was okay, but having to show my bare body in the brightly lit bathroom felt like I was going crazy. I was confused about whether to believe him when he said he liked me even like this. Several days passed like that....
- [BMD 478](https://oceanstale.com/bermuda/bmd-478/): “Ah, I should have gone first there. I changed positions for nothing.” “It’s already in the past, forget it. Besides, it was a game we couldn’t win from the start.” “Isn’t it a relief it ended quickly? In the earlier matches, the unlucky bastards all had fractures. But we’re all fine, aren’t we?” “Right. It’s a relief we didn’t run into Asher. And there’s the Losers’ Revival Match anyway.” The participants who had finished their match were bustling through the corridor. Having gone through quite an ordeal, they all looked disheveled. They trudged towards the men’s shower room, reviewing the...
- [BMD 477](https://oceanstale.com/bermuda/bmd-477/): But somehow, the solid upper body wouldn’t budge at all. Leonardo’s complexion gradually turned pale. Growing impatient, he pulled back his instep and struck the flank with his heel, sending a signal. However, it seemed to have the opposite effect of spurring on a steed, as His Excellency’s movements only grew faster. The pressure inside his mouth grew uncontrollably intense, and the mucous membrane enveloping the pillar, as well as the teasing hand, grew hot and feverish. “Hah, ah, stop—!” “Ugh, hmm….” A feverish plea and an insistent nasal sound tangled together like a chord. Each time the back of...

But Mu-hae knew that once dawn broke, countless drunken revelers would be staggering through. Wasn’t it Director Gil’s Electronic Store wall that had become the victim of those drunks, located in that alley of all places? He didn’t know what they were fixated on, but there would surely be some lunatic among them who would draw dicks on it every time. Fortunately, his Electronic Store remained clean, just as he had left it. Beeeeeep! The piercing doorbell rang, and soon after, the intercom crackled to life. —Who is it? “It’s...
- [MIT 158](https://oceanstale.com/i-became-a-monster-in-a-trash-game/mit-158click/): Click. How long had it been since I’d pretended to pray, clasping my hands and closing my eyes? The door to the Merit Prayer Room opened. Joo-oh languidly opened one eye to scan the first escapee. Tsk. Not them. Two men with red-rimmed eyes, probably from crying during their prayers. Their faith was so strong that even after coming out, they sat in the common seats, closing their eyes again as if meditating, muttering in awe. Considering Jin Mu-hae would be waiting, I wanted to knock on the door, but the Holy Mother Church’s rule was that no one should...

Papa and Daddy will come with Bliss.” “Okay~.” Ashley, who had been staring intently at Grayson’s retreating back as he walked away with a light step, humming his reply as if singing a song, muttered under his breath. “He didn’t say anything strange to Bliss, did he?” “Don’t see Grayson in such a bad light, Ash.” Koi, catching Ashley’s low, almost self-directed mutter, chided him. “That child just has slightly less empathy and is very curious. He hasn’t caused any major trouble since then, has he?” Despite Koi’s point, Ashley, still expressionless, watched...

And to make matters worse, huge debris fell like a shadow over the children’s heads. “Kids!!!!” Kim Yeong ran from afar with a pale face. “Get out of the way! Everyone, get out of the way!” He shouted, pushing people aside. Hearing his desperately cracking voice, the children instinctively hugged each other. It was too late to escape. Ah, was this how they were going to die? Their shoulders hunched with fear. “You, son of a bitch!” Kim Ju-won cursed and embraced his younger siblings as if to...
- [LNU 185](https://oceanstale.com/lets-not-underestimate-the-original-work/lnu-185/): “We greet Adrian Pearson, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, heir to great glory.” After stopping by other territories in between, and repeatedly riding in the carriage without rest, we finally arrived at the target, the Hope County. Count Hope bowed deeply and bent his knee, paying his respects as a vassal. Originally, when the Crown Prince received respects, those of lower status could not be present together, but now that I had officially held the engagement ceremony and received the status of a quasi-royal, I was an exception. Count Hope, although he did not call me by the title...
- [LFG 167](https://oceanstale.com/how-to-live-as-a-fallen-genius/lfg-167/): An earthquake split the ground, and power lines sparked and snapped. In the blink of an eye, it became a scene of chaos. “Kyaaaa!” “Uwaaa!” “Get out of the way, get out of the way!” People’s screams rose from all directions. It was on a level that couldn’t be compared to just a moment ago. A hell was being drawn where people were entangled, trampled, and pushed, each seeking their own way to survive. Among them was the man who had cursed Ahn Seo-myeong. “S-s-s-save me!” He was barely clinging to the edge of a split crack. “Isn’t there anyone?!...
- [LNU 184](https://oceanstale.com/lets-not-underestimate-the-original-work/lnu-184/): I was leaning against the carriage window with my hand, with only my butt sticking out behind me. Soon, the Crown Prince’s swollen shaft came close between my butt cheeks. He started by gently rubbing between my thighs along the moist waterway. This was something I had done a few times before, so I unknowingly relaxed my shoulders. “Bring your thighs together more and stand firm.” It wasn’t an atmosphere where I could complain that it was too hard. I gritted my teeth and stood up, forcibly supporting my legs that wouldn’t hold any strength. As I squeezed my thighs...

He was angry, resentful, and felt wronged. But Ki Jae-eon wouldn’t change his choice, would he? Yeah, because he’s that kind of person. So Ahn Seo-myeong decided not to hate them. ‘At least I shouldn’t be like them.’ If he lost his temper, it would be like denying Ki Jae-eon’s efforts. To prove he was right, he shouldn’t become the same. ‘Endure, withstand.’ He wanted to swear and punch, but he gritted his teeth and endured. ‘Persevere.’ So that the world he protected wouldn’t be tainted. Splash!...

However, he knew better than anyone else how Mana could affect people. Around him were Wizards and Sword Masters. Wary of something invisible harming his reason, Ivan had, while attending the Academy, asked a high-level Professor to cast spells on his frequently used accessories. These were spells that defended against or reflected magical influence directed at him. “The other Artifacts are in my bag and aren’t always active, so perhaps my wife and I are the only ones with our minds intact thanks to the influence of those Artifacts.” “Then, who used magic on us…?”...
- [WNC SS 47](https://oceanstale.com/the-warrior-of-the-namgung-clan-reincarnated-in-a-romance-fantasy/wnc-ss-47/): How on earth did my breasts become so sensitive? The main culprit was very clear. Ivan Bikoff, who tormented, tormented, and tormented me until I inevitably burst into tears every time we mixed bodies, also had a very persistent and long afterglow. We lay side by side on the bed, facing each other, and I watched Ivan as he traced my chest, where bite marks were clearly visible. His face, so nonchalant as if he were exercising his natural right, was even annoying, and it only brought on more shame. When he gripped my nipple, which felt like it had...
- [WNC SS 46](https://oceanstale.com/the-warrior-of-the-namgung-clan-reincarnated-in-a-romance-fantasy/wnc-ss-46/): Perhaps because it was the Empire Nobility Yearbook that Ivan had personally requested and had custom-made, Ivan’s name was on a rather early page. Ivan felt no hesitation in reading his own name and detailed profile, nor in showing it to me. The characters written directly below Ivan’s name and birthdate caught my eye first. 「Spouse of Ivan Bikoff: Sienna Bikoff (=Eric Eldos. See p. 157.)」 My eyes widened. I had thought that by overwriting Sienna’s name, my own existence would somehow be erased. But that wasn’t the case. Flustered, I traced the name with my hand and looked at...

Dong-ja Noonim, you eat this.” He offered the bowl that Ho-eun had been eating from to Dong-ja, who was sitting across from him. Dong-ja, who had already emptied her bowl a long time ago, gladly accepted it. “Hehe, thank you, Chilbok-ah. Thank you, Doryeong.” Tae-muk looked back and forth between the three of them. The words they exchanged and the series of actions seemed very familiar. As if it were always like this. Chilbok quickly ran across the snow and soon brought back a large persimmon. “It might be frozen because it’s...
- [BSW 150](https://oceanstale.com/bloodstained-water/bsw-150/): 150 A Hundred Steps “Umm……” Asleep, Ho-eun unconsciously rubbed his cheek against the warmth enveloping him. The rough texture of the wool wasn’t exactly soft, but it was familiar. Like the blanket he always slept under, the pillow he always rested on. The warm body temperature, the bittersweet scent of tobacco, and the rhythmic swaying were so comforting. Ho-eun snuggled closer, rubbing his cheek repeatedly, finding the feeling so pleasant. But the owner of the embrace seemed to have mistaken it for restlessness. Pat, pat. A heavy hand began to pat his back. It was a gesture as if to...

I constantly think about wanting more, how sweet the rice is…’ Then my mother would sigh as if the ground was sinking and turn her head away. “……” Ho-eun’s eyes clouded over as he thought of his mother after a long time. Is she doing well? She...
- [MOTD 54](https://oceanstale.com/magic-on-the-dead/motd-54/): Dinner consisted of a pouch of retort seaweed soup, two servings of instant rice, and two protein bars. It was a rather small amount to be shared among five healthy adults and one child, but minimizing calorie intake was necessary to preserve the food supply for as long as possible. The group sat in a circle as if around a campfire, their eyes fixed on the burning branches. When the embers died out completely, darkness descended. Despite the somewhat meager dinner, Jeffrey patted his stomach habitually and let out a loud yawn. Beside him, Park Chun-beom, who had been sniffing...

Ha-jin shuddered and carefully thought of another sentence. ‘Jeong Tae-geon usually avoids finding companions, right? But what did you see in me and Mi-so that made you choose us?’ Was that too detailed? This question seemed to hint at a bit of gratitude. The more he pondered a suitable question, the more Ha-jin couldn’t help but be engulfed...

After a moment, Eden asked a question that sounded familiar. “Have you ever killed a zombie?” The bob-haired woman’s eyes momentarily wavered, as if taken aback. Eden pressed on relentlessly. “To survive, you have to smash a zombie’s skull with a hammer until its brains spill out, or tear its flesh with a knife. Can you do that?” “Th-that’s… No, you guys said you hadn’t killed any yesterday either.” “You believed that?” A sneer touched Eden’s lips, as if she were incredibly naive....

Even if I said I was just trembling, I knew you would just laugh it off… It felt like my heart had been torn apart and laid bare. The blanket rustled as it crumpled. It was because I was clenching my hands so tightly. “That can’t be.” I barely managed to move and lie down on the bed. Thankfully, my voice sounded normal. Gyeoul replied, “Is that so?” and chuckled softly. The vibration traveled through the mattress. I was that close...
- [TLT 110](https://oceanstale.com/the-lassitude/tlt-110/): Gyeoul didn’t give me any time to sink into sentimentality and moved busily. Our first house was much smaller than this. One room, a living room and a kitchen. One bed, too. We endured, pressed close together in the cramped house. But it was good. This house was twice as big as that. It was hard to compare it to an apartment since that was a separated studio, but the feeling was similar. Though it couldn’t compare to the last house we lived in together. He led me into a small room. He seemed to be trying to point out...

I thought you gave birth down there.” Kim Hui-won’s mother frowned and smacked her husband’s back for saying such outrageous things so casually. “Hee-soo’s father! Don’t be so tactless! Ugh, really! You’re embarrassing me to death.” “Why not! I can be curious!” “I even bought you a book! Instead of watching fishing channels on YouTube all the time, you should study up on Omegas.” Hui-won was used to his parents’ conversations and remained silent. He glanced sideways and met Kwon Young-je’s calm gaze. Kwon Young-je quietly took the tangerine that Hui-won had been...
- [WNC SS 45](https://oceanstale.com/the-warrior-of-the-namgung-clan-reincarnated-in-a-romance-fantasy/wnc-ss-45/): My vision, brimming with water, caught the sunlight reflecting off the river, glittering with a chilling brilliance. “That’s not it,” I mumbled, pleading, but Ivan pulled me close by the waist as if he hadn’t heard me. Even so, I couldn’t fit into his embrace, overflowing it. The breath touching my nape was warm. My heart pounded against his chest. I hated myself for constantly leaning in, wanting to believe his words. Ivan, wrapping his hands around my waist from behind, lifted onto his tiptoes and pecked my cheeks. Then, in a voice full of affection, he whispered softly. “I’ve...
- [WNC SS 44](https://oceanstale.com/the-warrior-of-the-namgung-clan-reincarnated-in-a-romance-fantasy/wnc-ss-44/): The ship Ivan had prepared was a sailing ship with a long, elegant hull. At the prow stood a bust of Shinui Saras, her hair unbound, and the wide deck was polished to a deep sheen. The large sail and two smaller ones hanging from the thick masts fluttered as if ready to embrace the wind, even while neatly furled. The oars attached to the lowest level of the sailing ship were said to move by the power of Magic. I wondered how on earth they had managed to incorporate such a thing, but I kept my mouth shut when...

During that time, Ivan and my married life had been without major issues. Or rather, I felt there were none. We made love once a week. The guild’s work was busiest on weekends, and we usually took turns resting on weekdays, so the days I was with him were generally Mondays. Since our wedding night, he had consistently called me Miss Sienna. So now, I had become quite accustomed to being called by my younger sister’s name. He also took meticulous care of all the Eldos Merchant Guild’s affairs...

Blue Bird. If you remember the vague expressions scribbled on the NPS website, it’s slang that immediately brings Crystal Blue to mind. ‘That guy, even though he talks like that, he picked a pretty good day for me.’ Director Gil’s face, and the picture of the brothers smiling brightly in the old pad, flicker before my eyes. Jin Mu-hae shook his head slightly to clear his mind and quietly watched the person of interest. According to the pre-confirmed schedule, there are about two hours of free time after this lecture.

Even so, he’s only slightly more advanced than Mu-hae, so they’re still just rubbing their mouths together and lost in feeling each other’s breath. A few more rolls of his fingers over the hardened nipples made the body on top of him wriggle and tremble slightly. “Eung.” “Wait, huff… hold on. Don’t take off my clothes.” This was only supposed to be a little bit of excitement relief. Instead, the back of his neck is burning, and he’s even more...

Eui-jae replied with a circle-drawing emoticon. Then he glanced sideways at Sa-young, who was getting ready to go home. It felt a bit wrong to leave the puppy alone after sending all his brothers away. “Sa-young, can I sleep here just for tonight?” “Huh?” Sa-young agreed more readily than expected. “Well… okay.” “…Why are you agreeing?” “Huh?” Sa-young tilted his head sideways as if asking what nonsense Eui-jae was talking about now. Eui-jae scratched his cheek and retorted. “No, I thought...

As Koi smiled and nodded, Grayson stepped forward as if he had been waiting. “Can I go too? It’s okay, right, Bliss?” Seeing his son’s bright, smiling face, Koi answered before Ashley could say anything. “Yes, go together. See over there?” The children readily nodded when they looked in the direction Daddy pointed. Grayson, who had stepped forward to get ice cream while holding Bliss’s hand, received the strawberry ice cream Bliss wanted and handed it to him. “Here you go.” “Thank you. Thank you.” Bliss, who seemed to...

Even after I go to the West, we can call anytime, so just reach out whenever.” “Yeah, got it.” Only after exchanging a few more words, with a lingering sense of regret, did they finally hang up. Koi, who had looked down at his phone for a moment, suddenly thought of Bill’s face. Ever since Bill and Ariel officially decided to date, Bill had always come to the East during the off-season. Thanks to that, Koi had seen his...

You went in on your own.” People gathered in front of their tent and shouted together. They appeared like ghosts whenever they tried to offer prayers and disrupted them. Wearing matching red vests and holding megaphones, they shouted things like “Stop inciting anxiety!” and “Stop stimulating the Fatal Spirit!” all day long. “Please don’t do this here…” Even when Kim Yeong stepped forward to stop them, the backlash only intensified. A middle-aged man at the forefront pointed his finger at him with a fierce expression. “You’re the...

Maybe that’s how much they want to treat me with care. If that’s the case, I’m sorry, but unless I, who possesses this body, can think of myself as very important, it’s just a ridiculous sentiment. “Why….” “Haa, Noah.” “Why don’t you always go all the way?

The people who had been showering him with congratulations and making a fuss moved aside on their own. A small passage formed in the cheers, allowing a father to reach his son. “Jae-eon.” His cold and resolute face softened again. It was no longer the face of a teacher, but of a father. Ki Tae-ho carefully grasped Ki Jae-eon’s shoulders. “You did well. I’m proud of you.” “Father.” “But remember this.” The hand gripping his shoulder tightened. “Never forget the way back. You must not forget.” Ki Tae-ho whispered more earnestly than ever. “That,...

The stern faces of the Deputy Chief Prosecutor and Head of Department Lee Seung-min, who had been waiting for him, turned simultaneously. As Woo-jin bowed his head in greeting, a bundle of documents held in the Deputy Chief Prosecutor’s hand flew unexpectedly towards his face. The papers that struck Woo-jin’s cheek scattered messily onto the floor. Woo-jin bent his knee and picked up the fallen documents. He roughly sorted them in order, placed them on the desk, and stood before them as if nothing had happened. “Are you insane? Prosecutor Hyun, have...
- [LNU 182](https://oceanstale.com/lets-not-underestimate-the-original-work/lnu-182/): The tension in my whole body was relieved by the familiar, thick scent that spread the moment we kissed. Is this why physical affection is so scary? I had been spending a lot of time with Carlisle lately, but Carlisle hadn’t yet manifested as an Alpha, so when I was hugged, I felt his warm body was reliable and comfortable, but he didn’t stimulate me like this. Since I was exposed to this pheromone most often and to the most severe extent after manifesting as an Omega, it felt more familiar and comfortable than anyone else’s pheromone. “Ugh… Your Royal...
- [LFG 163](https://oceanstale.com/how-to-live-as-a-fallen-genius/lfg-163/): “Let’s begin.” Ki Tae-ho, who had been his father’s face just a moment ago, had transformed his expression and stepped forward with the same momentum as the head of the Exorcists. It was a figure as a person who had gathered solely to do what had to be done. “……-” Ki Tae-ho uttered the first syllable in a low and firm voice. The spellcasting that they were starting now was not [Spirituality]. To be exact, it was the ‘Spiritual Blessing’ that had to be performed before entering the stage of [Spirituality]. Of course, the ‘Spiritual Blessing’ mentioned here did not...
- [WNC SS 42](https://oceanstale.com/the-warrior-of-the-namgung-clan-reincarnated-in-a-romance-fantasy/wnc-ss-42/): I couldn’t understand at all why my friends were acting like hateful five-year-olds. A long, unsightly argument ensued. Caught in the middle, I felt terrible for Ivan, but he was busy looking down, comparing various documents with an indifferent expression. Then, when Ivan offered to fix the ledgers and contract forms, I quickly handed them over and dragged all the sulking guys into the next room. As soon as I herded them into the room, the anger I had been holding back erupted. “Ah, fuck. What the hell are you guys? What is this sudden bullshit?” “Ha, now you sound...
- [WNC SS 41](https://oceanstale.com/the-warrior-of-the-namgung-clan-reincarnated-in-a-romance-fantasy/wnc-ss-41/): I had a strange dream. It was a dream about marrying Ivan and spending our first night together. My chaste husband, who was so neat he was almost cold, whispered vulgar words to me, to me… It was a dream of doing such things. To lose half my mind and cry pathetically like that, begging for more, surely I wouldn’t do such a thing, even in a dream. Why on earth did I have such an absurd dream? I was so taken aback I almost laughed. No, not because it was funny, but because it tickled. I thought maybe a...
- [WNC SS 40](https://oceanstale.com/the-warrior-of-the-namgung-clan-reincarnated-in-a-romance-fantasy/wnc-ss-40/): I lifted my hips, arms, and legs as he told me to. The ceremonial robes I was wearing fell to the floor beneath the bed, leaving not a single piece, not even my socks. Meanwhile, Ivan, still quite neatly dressed, bit my neck, my breasts, my forearms, my navel, acting as if he would devour me. Each time, the only time my whole body tensed so tightly was the first. He seems like the type to have honest sex. Ivan explained in advance where he would touch and how. “May I caress your breasts a bit more? Your bones protrude...
- [BSW 148](https://oceanstale.com/bloodstained-water/bsw-148/): 148 Byeonguk received his greeting with an awkward expression. “…Yes, well. Did Young Master… sleep well?” “Yes, I slept well.” “Is your body… alright?” “Yes. Much better. The fever is gone, too. And the coughing has lessened.” Ho-eun answered each question diligently with a smiling face. His voice, both calm and clear, couldn’t have been more cheerful. “……” Byeonguk leaned his upper body back slightly and carefully examined Ho-eun. At least he was standing straight, so it didn’t seem like anything was broken. His face was pale, but he wasn’t bloodless. That meant there hadn’t been any unfortunate events like...
- [BSW 147](https://oceanstale.com/bloodstained-water/bsw-147/): 147 Tae-muk momentarily stopped breathing at that smile. The bright smile rushed into his retina and seemed to be etched there. But then Ho-eun glanced around, subtly checking his surroundings, before cautiously reaching out his hand. “Still, um… should we, perhaps, hold hands?” Then, with both hands, he pulled Tae-muk’s hand towards him and clasped it tightly. After that, he closed his eyes tightly, trying to share his energy. He didn’t know if the action was actually effective, but he wanted to do anything he could. “Please don’t be in pain, General…” Ho-eun went ‘hoo-hoo…’ and blew on Tae-muk’s hand....
- [BSW 146](https://oceanstale.com/bloodstained-water/bsw-146/): 146 “General…” “……” The moment his skin touched Ho-eun’s, and their breaths mingled, Tae-muk’s vision went black. It felt as if he had plunged headfirst into a dark sea. A sea should be cold, but the sea he fell into, pushed by Ho-eun’s hand, was hot, so very hot. He floated in that water for a while, and when he finally regained his senses, he was already crushing Ho-eun’s body beneath him, devouring his lips. Yes, Ho-eun’s lips. Also, his Bondmate’s lips. The only one in the world, his precious Bondmate’s lips. The moment he recognized that, his vision darkened...
- [MOTD 51](https://oceanstale.com/magic-on-the-dead/motd-51/): The man was sitting in front of the fourth mirror placed in the ‘Magic Gala Show’ dressing room. The round lights surrounding the mirror like a picture frame poured down on the man’s face. His features were not visible. Not because of the light, but because he had no eyes, nose, or mouth to begin with. The man, who had been carefully caressing his egg-ghost-like face, turned his gaze to the playing cards scattered on the table beneath the mirror. The cards, stained with red ink, rustled as they aligned and overlapped like living creatures. The ink began to spread...
- [MOTD 50](https://oceanstale.com/magic-on-the-dead/motd-50/): Ha-jin suddenly remembered a sentence clearly in his head and his eyelids fluttered. It was part of a conversation he had with Eden while looking up at the night sky together in the gazebo in the middle of the rice paddies, just like now. ‘I’ll help as much as I can while we’re together. So that Byeol can have more good memories than bad ones.’ Suddenly, his throat felt scratchy and hoarse. With a troubled expression, Ha-jin rubbed his face roughly and reached out towards the pack of cigarettes in Eden’s hand. Eden, understanding his intention, took out a cigarette...
