Seoul Kitchen

Some threads tie us to the ones we love. Others bind us to a destiny we never asked for. Seventeen-year-old Ahri Seo never believed in fate—until the night she saw glowing threads connecting strangers, binding souls like constellations across the city sky. After surviving a near-death subway accident near Gyeongbokgung Palace, she’s pulled into a world where destiny is real, threads carry power, and ancient spirits still whisper through forgotten temples. Taken in by a reclusive monk and guided by the soft-spoken but powerful Jin, Ahri begins to train as a Threadseer, one who can perceive and manipulate the golden strands of fate. But as her powers awaken, so do ancient enemies: the Severed, a cult determined to unravel the fabric of the world—and led by a woman wearing a cracked fox mask who claims to know Ahri’s bloodline. Beneath Seoul’s surface lies another realm—mystical, fragile, and teetering on collapse. Spirits, echoes, and hidden memories all intertwine here, and at the center of it all is a fox spirit whose intentions remain unclear. As Ahri walks the edge between fate and freedom, she must uncover the truth behind her mother’s disappearance, the golden thread wrapped around her wrist, and the terrifying possibility that some stories were never meant to be rewritten. In the spirit world, to pull a single thread is to risk unraveling everything.

Behind the sleek glass and steel of Seoul's corporate towers, a seductive game of power and desire unfolds. Can their love affair survive the ruthless landscape of office politics

The world changed when the dungeons appeared. Portals to twisted dimensions began opening across South Korea and then, the world. From goblin caves to flaming sky-realms, each dungeon threatened reality itself. Civilization adapted fast: the strongest awakened powers, guilds replaced corporations, and monster drops became more valuable than Bitcoin. Kang Jinho, meanwhile, just wanted some instant noodles. When a glitchy portal yanked him into a dungeon mid-snack-run, Jinho didn’t awaken like the heroes in the news. He didn’t unlock fire magic, summon a dragon, or wield a legendary sword. Instead, he got… “Glitchwalker.” A bugged skill. One the system doesn’t even understand. Now stuck with powers that make no sense, a frying pan he can’t unequip, and a string of baffled government agents watching him, Jinho is dragged into the chaotic world of dungeon hunters. Guilds want to recruit him. Enemies want to dissect him. The dungeon system wants to delete him. Too bad he’s the only one who can break the rules and maybe save the world while he’s at it. Deadpan. Overpowered (somehow). Completely unqualified. Kang Jinho is about to redefine what it means to be a Rank F nobody… …starting with absolutely no clue what he’s doing.

MATURE CONTENTS WARNING! In the kingdom of Faelori, where pure-blooded fae have driven humans to near extinction, Faelyn lives as the most despised creature of all, a half-blood abomination born from her human slave mother and the Fae King’s moment of weakness. She has endured relentless torture, starvation, and humiliation. Servants beat her bloody for sport. Her own half-brothers force her to crawl like a dog for their amusement. Even the kitchen scraps are denied to her as she wastes away in the shadows of the very castle where she was born. But when half-blood meets dragon fire, when the weakest collides with the strongest, when hatred burns into something far more dangerous… Some bonds are forged in blood and cannot be broken. In a world where power determines worth and bloodlines decide fate, two souls—one broken, one caged—will either destroy each other completely… or burn the entire kingdom to ash.

When Arila Vellion wakes up in the body of a noble girl in a magical kingdom, her first thought is not, “Where am I?” but rather, “Please don’t let this be a dating sim.” Spoiler alert: it is. And she’s the glitch in the main storyline. Reincarnated with full memories of her past life as Shizuku, a sarcastic, over-caffeinated Japanese high schooler with a sweet tooth and a love for otome games, Arila quickly realizes she’s been thrown into a romantic fantasy world complete with glittering nobles, dramatic plotlines, and way too many sparkly boys with tragic backstories. She was supposed to be a background character. A cake-obsessed extra who quietly died of heartbreak in Chapter Two. But thanks to one poorly timed lightning spell and a wyvern crash-landing into a royal ball, Arila has accidentally triggered multiple romance routes, bonded with a divine fox spirit named Ninko (who may or may not be judging everyone), and become the magical prodigy everyone’s talking about. Now, she has five elemental affinities, a rapidly growing fanbase of confused love interests, and an entire noble society that can’t decide whether she’s a genius or a walking disaster. (Hint: it’s both.) Unfortunately, the world she’s landed in doesn’t play fair. Behind the sparkles and courtly dances lies a tangled web of magical politics, ancient prophecies, and rival heroines who take their drama very seriously. From scheming villainesses with perfect hair to a bubbly commoner girl with suspicious protagonist energy, Arila is surrounded by walking plot points—and not a single one of them understands her sarcastic anime references. Between dodging marriage proposals, sabotaging flag events with strategic pastry distribution, and accidentally becoming the center of magical warfare, Arila just wants to live a chill, snack-filled life with her divine fox and a kitchen full of cocoa. But fate—and apparently the headmaster of Divine Royale Academy—has other plans. Welcome to a world where: • Your school schedule includes wand combat and etiquette for duels, • Your romantic rival might be a dragon in disguise, • And your only defense against political matchmaking is a sarcastic smirk and a frying pan. Can Arila rewrite the narrative, survive magical orientation, and launch her dream dessert empire—without becoming the final boss of this love story? Probably not. But she is wearing sneakers to the next royal event. Just in case.

Lounge in the courtyard? Glowing skin. Exist gracefully? Congratulations, you’ve leveled up again.

Now living as Princess Evelisse of the grand kingdom of Florabelle, she finds herself surrounded by seven doting older brothers, each more protective than the last, and a kingdom that adores her every smile.

In this neighbourhood, everybody lived their lives as if treading on eggshells, all because of one particular household: the Lees.

Samantha and Rei were high school sweethearts — two dreamers sharing the same sky. Rei wanted to build a band, write songs, and one day, perform in front of thousands. You? You had your eyes on the world — fashion runways, cameras, a life where people knew your name. You supported each other through exams, deadlines, and life’s early storms. Even in college, when everything got harder — late-night study sessions turned into rare text messages, dates became short calls, and weekends got lost in responsibilities. Still, Rei held the relationship steady, always finding time for you. He thought love was enough. Until you got that offer — a modelling opportunity in the U.S. You accepted it silently, afraid to hurt him, hoping it was better to go quietly than to make it harder with goodbyes. Three days before your flight, Rei found out. He didn't yell. He didn't beg. "If this is your dream… then go." You promised him you'd come back. *You never did.* **Years passed.** You're back in Manila — not permanently, just for a few weeks. You’re successful now, your face on billboards, runways in Milan and Seoul under your heels. Jessi, your old college friend, hands you a VIP pass to a local concert — “Trust me, you need this.” You roll your eyes. You’re not in the mood. But you go. The sky was already dark when you and Jessi arrived at the venue — a converted warehouse packed with glowing lights and pulsing energy. You hadn’t wanted to come, not really. It was just another night in Manila, just another stop before you left again. But she insisted. “Come on, it’s your favourite band. You’ll thank me later.” You didn’t even look at the ticket. You didn’t care. Until you stepped through the entrance—and froze. Because the voice pouring from the speakers? The one echoing through the crowd, raw and achingly familiar? **Add my novel to your library and read for more ^^**

Eighteen-year-old Minjun has never fit into the mold his parents dreamed for him. While his friends chase university acceptances and stable futures, Minjun stands alone on a rain-soaked Seoul rooftop, whispering his hopes to the night sky and scribbling lyrics into a battered notebook. He’s not just another boy who wants to be a K-pop idol — he wants to write his own songs, sing his own truth, and stand under the stage lights as his own kind of star. When a small but influential entertainment company unexpectedly invites him for an audition, Minjun thinks this might finally be his chance. But inside the dazzling world of K-pop, dreams cost more than just time and talent — they demand sacrifice, secrecy, and the strength to stand up every time the industry knocks him down. As Minjun fights for a spot on the trainee roster, he navigates brutal competition, midnight rehearsals, and hidden rivalries that could break his spirit or make him stronger than ever. Along the way, he forges fragile friendships, clashes with idols who see him as a threat, and discovers how far he’s willing to go to keep his songs his own — in an industry where even dreams can be manufactured. Idol of the Night is a raw, heartfelt journey through the shadows behind the spotlight — a story about finding your voice when everyone wants to rewrite your song, and the courage it takes to stand alone under the brightest lights.

WSA Entry* *** Alex, born into the illustrious and undeniably gifted Smith family, was a stark anomaly. While his siblings excelled in everything from music to sports, h e was a blank canvas, utterly talentless. This ostracized him, making him a target for his family's disdain and bullying from his classmates. Finding solace only in the world of anime, Alex retreated into his room, spending days in a state of squalor, fueled by ramen and the fantasy worlds on his screen. One day, while attempting to microwave a plastic container filled with ramen (because even basic kitchen skills were beyond him), the microwave exploded, turning Alex's room into a scene of hilarious destruction. Instead of dying tragically, he finds himself resurrected…in the anime he loved the most, "Swords and Sorcery," a fantastical world brimming with magic and adventure. As Alex, now a fresh-faced young adventurer in this new world, he discovers he can wield the powers of any character from any anime he's ever watched. Suddenly, his days of being mocked for his lack of talent are a distant memory. He can summon the mystical powers of a powerful wizard, the strength of a legendary warrior, or the agility of a skilled ninja. He even discovers he can tap into the magical abilities of characters from lesser-known anime, like a charming witch from a forgotten shoujo series or a cunning strategist from a tactical mecha anime. Armed with his vast anime knowledge and newfound abilities, Alex embarks on a life of self-discovery and adventure. He'll navigate the complexities of this magical world, forge alliances with unlikely heroes, and face off against powerful foes, all while striving to prove his worth and overcome the trauma of his past. But as he dives deeper into this fantastical world, he'll face a new challenge: can he learn to be happy and find his place in this world, free from the shadow of his former life? *** "HAHAHAHAHA! All those useless Isekai animes animes I watched was not for waste after all...Stupid old man! Why don't you laugh at this?"
