To Turn Aside Or Forestall Something

Good looks. Successful career. Stable finances. And a ten-story apartment building in the heart of Seoul. Cedric Lim, an earnest and clean-cut 29-year-old novelist, has everything he needs to finally focus on writing his own love story. However, he cannot find the connection he wants with just anyone for some reason. His conquests during the recent years often take on a cheating plot, fubu-zoned plot, and I-like-you-but-I’m-not-into-monogamy plot. With successive failures in dating, Cedric finally decided to stop! He’s never the type to cry over failed relationships and never the kind who chases after someone who didn’t like him, so what’s the harm if he stopped going out, right? Time ruthlessly passed, and he didn’t notice that he’d been single and barren for five years! Now, Cedric Lim often fantasizes about himself miserably leaning against the wall, slowly falling down as he questions himself where he went wrong. “I'm the perfect combination of cute and handsome! I worked really hard to get these four-pack abs, and I am a freaking landlord in Seoul! Why isn’t there anyone who wants to date me!” Cedric roared on his rooftop during one of his rare drunken fits. “Then date me!” One handsome man with chillingly pale skin appeared seemingly out of thin air. He’s not just any hot stranger who happened to be hanging around the rooftop. He’s Dylan Kim, Cedric Lim’s new tenant and ex-best friend-slash-first crush from high school. The brute dropped him like a hot potato and disappeared after discovering he was into men. Dylan severely wounded Cedric’s trust, so now, even though he’s back in his life as a renewed man, Cedric swears he will never ever let himself be involved with his almost-first love. But what if there’s something more in Dylan’s disappearance? He’s not only back as a renewed man. He’s also back as a full-fledged vampire, and he’s not only here to suck Cedric’s blood. He’s also here to set things straight and resume the romance that is abruptly cut due to an accident his— untimely turning into a vampire. However, with Cedric being jaded with love and misunderstandings, can Dylan win Cedric’s trust? Will the unresolved misunderstanding for more than 13 years finally be corrected?

**Synopsis of *Nael Supremium: Ascension of the Immortal Soul? Or Something Far Beyond*** Nael Supremium is no hero. He is a monster, cold, calculating, and indifferent to the world around him. Born from chaos, raised in darkness, and molded by betrayal and violence, he walks a path where every step is meticulously planned, and every action is weighed against its consequence. He carries a soul so powerful that it threatens to consume him, forcing him to seal his consciousness in a desperate attempt to contain the beast within. Yet, despite the nightmare he houses, he does not let it wreak havoc on the innocent. He controls it, distances himself from relationships and conflict, seeking only to maintain balance, to remain distant and cold in a world that demands more. When a transcendental being offers every soul a chance to enter a new reality, Nael’s cold, indifferent life takes an unexpected turn. Thousands of reincarnated, transmigrated, and divine beings enter universes of cultivation and magic, each guided by their own powerful systems, all fighting for power and supremacy. Yet, Nael has no interest in their games. His only goal is to transcend his existence, to break the limits of his soul and reshape his reality. For Nael, there are no allegiances, no noble pursuits—only the calm, precise execution of every move he makes. His system, enigmatic and mysterious, rewards him when he breaks boundaries—whether physical, mental, or existential. It is not a tool for instant success, but a means of testing his limits, of pushing him toward something beyond what is even conceivable. Alongside his best friend, a cultivator with the Emotion System, Nael advances, his cold resolve unwavering. But there are things in this universe he despises: those who manipulate others through power and deceit, those who use systems like NTR and heroine conquest to feed their desires. When they dare to touch what Nael values—even if it’s only a sliver—he reacts without hesitation. Nael is not vengeful; he does not obsess over petty revenge. His anger is simple, primal. If you push him past a certain point, his wrath will consume everything in its path. In that moment, even the devil would seem like an angel by his side. His actions are swift and without mercy, his judgment as cold as the heart of the monster he carries within. In a universe where bodies, souls, and destinies span from the immortal to the primordial, where divine children, legendary treasures, and otherworldly forces battle for supremacy, Nael stands apart. He is not here for glory, not for fame, and certainly not for the adulation of the weak. His only ambition is to transcend reality itself, to break the walls of the Omniverse and rewrite the laws that govern existence. *Nael Supremium: Ascension of the Immortal Soul? Or Something Far Beyond!* is a story that will take you to the edge of darkness, where mystery, power, and redemption intertwine in a journey unlike any other. A man who is no hero, no savior, but a force of nature who moves through the world with cold calculation and ruthless precision. In a world governed by destiny and divine laws, Nael is the one who refuses to bend. His soul is his only master, and if you dare to push him too far, you will learn that even the devil’s wrath pales in comparison to what lies within him. What is stronger: the destiny that governs all, or the soul that refuses to be controlled? **Comment from the author, NaelSupremium:** *"This is not a tale of redemption or heroism. It’s the story of a man who is a monster by choice, who battles the demons within himself while keeping the world at arm's length. He doesn’t need a system to define him. His path is his own, and if you cross him, it’s your end. No mercy, no second chances—just cold, calculated vengeance."*
