REVENGE OF DARK SECRETS

A powerful and ruthless Korean mafia, comprised of five influential leaders, operates an illicit human trafficking ring under the guise of a legitimate conglomerate, Haechi Holdings. They systematically abduct and murder individuals who uncover their operations, harvesting their body parts for sale on the black market, while their crimes are meticulously covered up by corrupt top security authorities, plunging the nation into a state of fearful silence. Kim Min-ji, a diligent compliance analyst at Haechi Holdings, accidentally uncovers the horrifying truth of this operation – a vast network of disappearances, murders, and organ harvesting, with victims' remains stored in a highly secure hidden facility. Driven by a desperate need for justice, she gathers irrefutable evidence, but is discovered during her attempt to obtain physical proof from the mafia's hidden warehouse. Captured and brutally murdered on the spot by Director Choi, one of the mafia leaders, Min-ji's body parts are subsequently harvested and stored alongside the other victims. Miraculously, Min-ji's still-living heart is transplanted into the body of a young man, Lee Jin-woo (이진우), who suffered a severe accident on the same night. She awakens in Jin-woo's body, grappling with the traumatic memories of her death and the surreal reality of her new male identity. Her desperate attempts to expose the mafia and explain her soul-swapping ordeal are dismissed by medical professionals as a symptom of trauma and mental instability, leaving her isolated and disbelieved. Embracing this new existence, Min-ji, now in Jin-woo's form, resolves to dedicate her life to a singular, all-consuming purpose: exacting vengeance for herself and for every innocent victim of the mafia's atrocities. She vanishes for six months, undergoing an intense and rigorous transformation. During this period, she hones herself into a formidable force: a master combatant, a precise sniper, an expert driver, and a financially independent individual with an extensive network of contacts and a skilled hacker ally. Her meticulously planned return is marked by a devastating personal blow – the discovery of her mother's mysterious death during her absence. Overwhelmed by grief, she returns to her childhood home, where she unearths a hidden wooden box containing irrefutable evidence that her mother was also murdered, further fueling her burning desire for retribution. With her resolve solidified, Jin-woo (Min-ji) embarks on her grand mission of revenge. Her first targets are the six top security authorities who colluded with the mafia, systematically eliminating them one by one. Next, she turns her attention to the five personal secretaries of the mafia leaders, who aided in covering up the crimes, dispatching them through unique and untraceable methods, her own actions expertly concealed by her hacker. Finally, she confronts the five mafia leaders themselves, orchestrating their demise without leaving a trace of evidence. Despite intense investigations, authorities are unable to determine the perpetrator. Once her mission is complete, Jin-woo releases all the accumulated evidence to the public, exposing the full, horrific truth of the mafia's operations and the systemic corruption that enabled them. The nation is left in shock and disbelief. A mass memorial is held in honor of the victims, bringing a profound sense of closure and relief to Jin-woo. Having achieved "her and his" revenge, Min-ji continues to live in her new male identity, a silent avenger who brought justice to a corrupt world.

How to Tame a Snake: The Weasel’s Case

“P-Please... give me a chance. I-I like you, Mr. Kang.” In a world where humans and anthropomorphs coexist, discrimination isn’t just common—it’s an everyday reality. Yueul, a weasel anthropomorph, is drowning in debt after being deceived by his ex-boyfriend into committing illegal acts. Prejudice against anthropomorphs makes stability impossible, as he’s fired from one job after another. Then, an unexpected opportunity arises: if Yueul can work alongside Wooheon, a black mamba anthropomorph, and “fix” his abrasive personality, Wooheon’s older brother promises to pay off all of Yueul’s debts. “Thank you for the offer. I’m not sure if I can meet your standards, but I’ll do my best.” Terrified of black mambas but even more terrified of his crushing debt, Yueul reluctantly accepts. Yet on his very first day, he’s already teetering on the edge of being fired. Desperate to keep the job, Yueul blurts out a reckless lie—that he likes Wooheon and wants to stay by his side. But Wooheon, fully aware of Yueul’s lie, retracts the dismissal with a twist: he suggests they live together, determined to push Yueul into quitting on his own. As if that weren’t bad enough, Yueul soon discovers Wooheon’s unusual way of managing stress: sex. And the room assigned to Yueul? It happens to be Wooheon’s designated “sex-only” space. “S-So if I use that room, does that mean you can’t have sex...?” “Why? Do you want to take their place?” “...If you’re okay with being with a guy... then I’m fine with it.” With Wooheon’s perfectionism driving him to collapse under extreme stress, Yueul wants to help—but definitely not like this! Still, the fear of exposing his lie about liking Wooheon keeps Yueul tangled in his own deception, desperately trying to maintain the facade. Knowing Yueul’s confession is a lie, Wooheon relentlessly pushes him further, testing how long he can endure. What started as a desperate lie to escape his debts has thrown Yueul into a chaotic power struggle. Can he survive life under the same roof with Wooheon and somehow tame his impossible personality? #BL #Fantasy #Modern #Anthropomorph Text copyright ⓒ 2024 by Spicychili All right reserved.

Kill, or be killed. To survive, he cuts off his compassion, unleashing his darkest self. For a single cultivation technique, he slaughtered a city and wiped out villages. For a spell manual, he cut down those he once cherished. From the "Blood Demon Corpse Refining Technique" to the "Soul-Condensing Ghost Art," his cold blade drips with countless lives. In a world like this, he knows reliance on others is futile. Xu Sanyan’s only desire is to wield his blade and cultivate his inner strength to claim the celestial fruits beyond the Nine Heavens. Translator's Note: if you think this story might be similar to Korean "Demon Sect" stories then be warned because the themes explored in this novel maybe too graphic and inappropriate for certain audiences. Although I have seen reviews on my previous novel (RDC) stating that it wasn't as demonic as the synopsis made it out to be. But since I am bringing this to you, I feel this is my responsibility to put in this disclaimer. Still in the beginning phases of translation, so I don't know how true the synopsis is to the story. If you do find it to your tastes don't forget to leave a 5-star review. Read ahead on Pa.treon@CindelTL

Full Title, AZI: The History Shattering Burial of a Selfish Lunatic, Who Walked through Reincarnation for Two-Trillion Years Volumes 1-3 Synopsis: “Who?” Holding a lone gourd in hand the young man raises it to the Heavens with a single question. “Who wishes to accompany me? To stay by my side for an eternity, and to walk through the mountains, and seas?” May container spoilers below Volume 4 Synopsis: Weapon spirits, such is the nature of every single Sinner within the Leng Bing Realm. In other words, all of them are but tools, and a tool… “A tool has no right to choose their owner, and what a tool does is decided by their owner.” “…Cruel, how very cruel the laws of this world are. Even upon death, a soul may not rest.” Volume 5 Synopsis: “Surnamed Ye, if you had a choice between being a hero or a demon lord, which would you choose? Naturally, you can also choose to be a villager A or B if you wanted to.” “What kind of question is that? Hmm.” Contemplating for a bit, Ye Chen answers— “I guess, the hero? Since he always wins in the end?” “Hero, is it?” “And you, surnamed Long?” “I think, the role of the hero—is a role that should only be played by a masochist.” “The hell? Is this entire question supposed to be a way to diss me?” “The fate of a hero is to suffer.

Three, they can drag an entire world down as a part of their burial.” ……… “The longer you live for, and the more you experience, the less you care about the things around you. Maybe, I’m just someone who has reached that point?” ……… “You’re right in saying that even if this world goes up into flames, I’d still be drinking away at my leisure. Why bother to care for a world that is completely foreign to me? The people who I had cared for, they aren’t here; hence, I see very little purpose in getting myself invested into this environment.” ……… The 46th prince of the Hong Xiao Empire was born between the emperor and the 114th concubine. He was born on a moonlit night, and yet, since his eyes were blind, his majesty—the emperor decided to name him Bujian Yue. “Did you know—that the more fearful a prey is, the tastier it is? At least to me, since I enjoy chewing on my food to savor the flavor.” “…?” Enlarging its stature, the black serpent abruptly snaps its head forward, and swallows the palace maid whole. Leaving a bite mark on the ground, the black serpent begins to chew, as the sound of meat and bones being pulverized comes from its maw. And eventually, the black serpent swallows.
