I was grounded. This time, Michael was truly furious. I was completely forbidden from stepping foot outside the mansion for a whole twenty days. I was curious enough to ask why twenty days, which earned me a fist to the top of my head. While nursing my throbbing head, I heard the chilling remark that he’d rather ground me for twenty years. I quietly accepted the twenty days. Besides my grounding, there were other changes at the Kristenner estate. Security had been drastically increased. Officially, it…- 95.3 K • Ongoing
Residents of District Four, whose families had been quarantined due to the contagion, claimed the illness vanished after Elizabeth Kristenner’s visit. Fortunately, the Empire had belatedly become aware of this, but they were still unaware that it was Elizabeth Kristenner who had healed them. The shock of that initial report still lingered. It was both a miracle and a disaster. Elizabeth Kristenner was a saint sent by God, yet also a terrifying variable that could dismantle centuries of the Holy…- 95.3 K • Ongoing
“My Lady, your eyes are such a lovely color.” “Thank you.” I always figured they only complimented my eyes because there was nothing else to compliment. And besides, I was always next to Leila, the most beautiful woman in the Empire. Seeing her face more often than my own naturally raised my standards. I wasn’t even fond of my eye shape. I preferred Leila’s elegantly upturned, cat-like eyes, while mine drooped slightly. So, naturally, I wasn’t satisfied with my face. Killian, on the…- 139.2 K • Ongoing
- My heart pounded relentlessly. “Honestly,” I muttered, pulling a book from the shelf, “Killian’s muscles are ridiculously sculpted.” It was truly unfair. His muscles were as beautiful as his face. A six-pack… I’d only ever heard of such a thing, never seen one up close with my own two eyes. It was the kind of abdomen that practically begged to be touched. But actually doing so would be disastrous. My carefully cultivated image would shatter, and besides, it would be…

At first, she’d wondered if it was a coincidence that two boys of similar age, around the same time, were afflicted by the same virus, gnawing at their hearts. And not just any boys, but those assigned crucial roles in the game. On the same day, at the same time, but in different places. But no. This was beyond mere suspicion. The dawn of February 14th, Estrea year 588, the day Roxand was infected, was the same day the Grand Duke's castle in the North was attacked by monsters, resulting in the…- 81.5 K • Ongoing
- “I hear the Duke’s household is searching for Martian. They say he disappeared right before my funeral began.” “And where did you pick that up?” Daphnela blinked slowly instead of answering. She’d received a brief message through Callix right before Heizen barged in, but hadn’t heard the source of the information. As long as it was accurate and useful, the source didn't matter. “How was Martian before he vanished? Did he resent me much?” “Resent you? That fool would sooner…

Brett, despite his swollen face making it difficult, forced a smile. “I know it’s not easy, but I came back. Because it was the best.” “What was?” “Climbing the tower together? Haha.” As Brett laughed, something struck his head and fell to the ground. It was his bundled prison shirt. Seth, who had thrown it using telekinesis, fumed. “A-apologize sincerely! E-even friends don’t apologize while laughing after a fight. Brett, you did something much worse…!” Brett touched his…- 76.8 K • Ongoing
- “...What’s your complaint this time? My throat isn’t a servant’s bell pull.” A servant’s bell pull. Helios seemed oblivious to how his comment revealed his status. He pretended to be meticulous, but this careless slip charmed her. Was it a problem if she found this endearing clumsiness cute? She briefly wondered if she could take him with her when she left this place, a thought that made her laugh. It was absurd, of course. The warden had placed Helios under her care for a reason. Taking him…

- “Lady Kristenner?” “What the heck, let’s do it. Let’s be friends.” Eunha stared blankly for a moment, as if processing my words, before her lips parted. “Really? Truly?” “Yes.” I nodded quickly in response to her hesitant question. The shadows that had clouded her obsidian eyes vanished, replaced by a radiant smile. I returned her smile awkwardly, my face still a mixture of bewilderment and apprehension. Giving her a gentle push, I said, “Now, go…

- Unfamiliar praise, the kind I’d never heard from the staff of this mansion, made me shift uncomfortably. Had I truly earned such accolades simply for promising to keep a secret, a seemingly trivial act? “I have one more request,” she added, and my stomach dropped. I carefully schooled my features, trying to hide my dismay. “…What is it?” I asked, looking at Ji Eunha with growing curiosity. Unlike her earlier hesitation, her eyes now held a surprising seriousness. A flicker of…
