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.

Mystic Mystery. Case (01) The Forbidden Patience.

Synopsis: Limited by knowledge due to royal restrictions yet filled with curiosity since birth, Orin Mystiq tackles the mysteries unfolding in one of the most enigmatic places on Wanderlust: Ouroboros. Here, natural, mystical laws don’t function as expected—and what does work is cranked up to eleven. While Orin can negate several mystical laws and zealously solve mysteries beyond everyone’s comprehension, normal means alone aren’t enough to crack this case. A touch of humankind becomes essential—an element Orin finds utterly monotonous. To shore up his weaknesses and navigate the labyrinth of human involvement, he seeks wisdom from the foremost expert on Wanderers: Hem Lock, a Sentinel burdened by his own demons, manifested in the form of twins, assigned to him as subordinates. Together, they compensate for each other’s shortcomings, delving deeper into the mystical mechanics of Mystica to solve the world’s first “Mystic Mystery." ———||———{{-_-}}———||——— Power System :: TOSHI : An ancient word for beings that have evolved through the essence of any given energy.

The Campus Detective: The Case of the Professor's Experiment

Narey was a seasoned female detective with years of experience in the National Intelligence Agency. She had been entrusted with some of the most complex cases involving national and international crimes. Everyone in the agency knew she was their pride—a brilliant operative who had cracked several high-profile cases through collaborations with foreign intelligence agencies. Her reputation had grown to legendary status in global intelligence circles. But after more than a decade of service, Narey stepped away from the agency. She became a private investigator. It wasn’t by choice—her personal life was falling apart. At 28, just two years ago, her elderly mother passed away, and her father’s health began to decline rapidly. They came from humble beginnings. Narey hadn’t earned her position through connections or privilege—it was her intelligence that set her apart. After her mother’s death, she became the sole caregiver for her ailing father. Her only sibling, a younger sister, had married and had a daughter. Tragically, her sister died—allegedly by suicide—after nine years of marriage. Her daughter, just seven years old at the time, was left behind. But Narey suspected it wasn’t suicide. Her brother-in-law remarried exactly one week after the funeral and handed the child over to Narey—who was still an active intelligence officer at the time. The timing, the behavior, everything felt wrong. Narey was furious and wanted to investigate, but she was overwhelmed—juggling her father’s care, raising her niece, and earning a living as a private detective. Then, a national crisis erupted. Students started disappearing—many of them activists, leaders of mass protests against the new regime and the sweeping legislative changes that came with it. Prestigious universities across the country were affected, but Grovement University stood out. It had the highest number of missing students and had been one of the loudest voices against the government. That’s where the investigation had to begin. The National Intelligence Agency couldn’t sit still. This was their jurisdiction. But no one in the agency had the experience—or the instincts—needed to crack a case like this. Everyone agreed: Narey was the one person who could do it. No other agent could even come close. The Director of the Agency called her in personally. The mission: go undercover as a student. At first, Narey refused. A long-term undercover mission wasn’t something she could commit to. Not with a child depending on her. But the agency pressed on. To the Director, she was their only hope—and she would be allowed to choose her own team. Her cover? A university freshman. It was a new kind of challenge—blending in with students nearly a decade younger. But for Narey, challenges had always been her element.

Renji Kurogane: The Case Time Tried to Erase

They erased the files. Buried the evidence. But forgot one thing: I’m still alive. Name’s Renji Kurogane. I used to be a detective. Then I got fired for writing a report so “disturbing” it triggered three resignations and a nervous breakdown. Now I’m bleeding out in the ruins of a temple no GPS recognizes, holding two cursed relics that hum when they’re hungry. The other three? In enemy hands. Of course. Apparently, these relics are keys. To a door. A big one. A door that absolutely should not be opened unless you're into pandemics caused by ideas. I have one job: Hide the truth so well, even I can’t find it again. Too bad I’m already remembering things I never learned. Too bad my dreams have subtitles now. Too bad the truth... might be alive. A cursed mystery. A forgotten academy. And a guy trying to outrun the history he helped erase. This isn't a hero's journey. It's a cover-up with body counts, relics that whisper, and a protagonist who drinks more caffeine than water. Welcome to the story time tried to burn. Too bad time has memory issues. Author’s Note: This story is 100% original and fully written and directed by me, the author. Yes, I use grammar tools and creative support when needed—because I like my commas functional and my metaphors coherent. But every piece of the plot, the characters, the structure, and the tone is handcrafted with existential dread, narrative obsession, and just enough caffeine to hear relics whisper. No AI-generated chapters. No plagiarism. No machine-translated filler. Just imagination, mythology, memory loss… and me, trying to outwrite madness one page at a time.

Chen Mo's life takes an unexpected turn when he stumbles upon a strange shard of jade—one that has the mysterious ability to summon monsters. To make matters worse, these creatures are not your typical mythical beasts; they are electrical appliances that have somehow gained consciousness and developed their own personalities. From a talkative rice cooker with delusions of grandeur to a rebellious electric bike that claims to be a former racing champion, the strange "pets" that Chen Mo inherits are as dangerous as they are absurd. In his quest to rid himself of his perpetual misfortune and somehow make enough money to buy a house and car, Chen Mo finds himself embroiled in a series of bizarre events.

With his life spiraling into madness, Chen Mo must now collect an assortment of strange jade fragments, fight off supernatural forces, and somehow manage to keep his head above water. But what begins as a battle for survival soon turns into something much more profound. As the electrical appliances evolve and grow stronger, Chen Mo finds himself questioning his own existence and the mysterious origins of the jade fragments. Will he survive the chaos and break free from the curse, or will he be consumed by the very forces he sought to control?
