Ella Thompson, a quiet but sharp-tongued medical student, never expected to graduate into a nightmare. But when a virus worse than COVID-19 breaks out—turning people into mindless, flesh-eating monsters—Ella’s life takes a deadly turn.

In a world that has collapsed, Ella will have to trust her instincts, navigate the chaos, and keep fighting to find her brother—before it’s too late.

However, instead of fading into oblivion, he finds himself reborn in the year 2006, inhabiting the body of a notorious chaebol heir from the powerful Lee family—a world far removed from the film sets he once called home. With memories of the future and insider knowledge of both the film and entertainment industries, Jihoon sees this as his second chance—not only to redefine Korean cinema but to reshape the K-pop industry before it spirals into its darkest scandals. However, his new identity comes with an unexpected burden: the ruthless succession battle within the Lee family. Rather than becoming a pawn in the family’s cutthroat power struggle, Jihoon makes a bold decision—to step away from the fight for corporate control and instead pursue what he does best: filmmaking. With his wealth and influence as a chaebol heir, he sets out to revolutionize the entertainment industry, challenge the oppressive systems controlling idols, and craft a legacy that will change the course of Hallyu forever. A thrilling tale of ambition, artistry, and reinvention, Hallyu Director’s Chronicle explores the hidden struggles behind Korea’s entertainment empire, where one man’s vision, courage, and past life wisdom could change the fate of an entire industry—if he can survive long enough to see it through.

(PS: Some people don’t like plots where the main character starts at the maximum level and then suddenly resets to level 1. However, I wrote it this way intentionally. Many have given me negative reviews just because of this plot point, without even giving the story a chance. At one point, I considered stopping and starting a new book instead. But I just can’t bring myself to do it—maybe because there are still readers who enjoy it, and I’ve already put so much effort into planning everything. All that’s left is to finish writing it. So, I’ve decided to ignore the negative reviews and complete the story no matter what. Good luck to me! And to those who continue to unlock my chapters—thank you! Your support means a lot to me.)

Ren Kisaragi was just an ordinary high school student—until he saw the world glitch. A frozen pedestrian, a repeated motion, a moment where time itself stuttered. No one else noticed. No one else questioned it. But for Ren, it was the first crack in reality. Slowly, he begins to understand: the world is a game, a structured system governed by hidden laws. Yet, unlike the others—players and NPCs alike—Ren is the only one who knows. Armed with this knowledge and a mysterious, tattered book that seems to react to these distortions, he sets out to uncover the truth. But knowledge alone isn’t enough. Other players exist, moving through the world without realizing the game they’re trapped in. NPCs act according to scripts, yet some seem to break free in ways they shouldn’t. And as Ren digs deeper, he realizes something terrifying: The system isn’t broken. It’s watching him. And it doesn’t like rule-breakers. Now, Ren must navigate a world where reality itself can rewrite the rules. Because if he’s The Only Player of the Game—then he’s playing alone. And in a game like this, losing isn’t an option.

Vincent Caine, a washed-up movie director whose career collapsed under the weight of his own unfulfilled ambition, awakens in a void — a pitch-black theater where the only spotlight is fixed on his own sweating, broken face. The laughter of an unseen audience echoes around him, sharp and unnatural, twisting his pain into their entertainment. His memories are gone, save for a single truth: his name. A booming voice — equal parts ringmaster and executioner — congratulates Vincent on his "win." The prize? A new life. Not because of talent or purpose, but a simple roll of the dice. He is to inhabit the body of another heartbroken indie director, recently felled by a heart attack, his corpse held in unnatural suspension. As Vincent's consciousness spirals through the emerald vortex of his forced rebirth, the lines between performance and reality blur. The faceless crowd’s laughter follows him like a haunting score. Memories that are not his begin to surface — the indie director’s unfinished scripts, his fears, his distant relationships. But Vincent’s own past remains a blank canvas, gnawed at by a presence that seems to slither through his mind. What awaits him in this new life is more than just another chance at directing — it's a waking nightmare of fabricated success and lingering failure. Every interaction feels staged, every relationship like a hollow performance. The question isn't just who Vincent will become in this borrowed life — it's what dark hand is pulling the strings behind the curtain, orchestrating this surreal second act. And the ever-present, unnatural laughter? It never stops. Because the show must go on.

A decade ago, the world was saved by a single warrior. The Calamity Killer—a legend who single-handedly conquered every calamity-level gate, eradicating the monstrous threats that once plagued humanity. No one knew his true identity, only that he was the strongest hunter to ever exist. Then, one day, he vanished. With his disappearance, the gates stopped appearing, and the world entered an era of peace. Hunters retired, governments stabilized, and people moved on. But they never forgot the man who had saved them all. His name remained in history—an untouchable myth. Until now. Ten years later, the Calamity Killer returns—but something is wrong. His overwhelming power is gone, leaving him a shadow of his former self. Worse, his reappearance triggers something terrifying… the gates have begun opening once more. Once a prodigy who started clearing gates at just 15, he now faces a world that still remembers him as a legend—but he is no longer the invincible warrior they once knew. Weakened but not broken, he must train relentlessly to reclaim his former glory, all while uncovering the truth: Why did he lose his power? Why are the gates returning? And this time… can he stop what’s coming?
