North Korea Detective

Betrayed. Starved. Left to die alone in a world that chewed up the weak and spat them out. Gu Qingran trusted the wrong people, loved the wrong man, and paid the ultimate price. But fate? Fate gave her a second chance. Reborn 30 days before the apocalypse, she refuses to be the naive fool she once was. This time, there are no attachments, no kindness—only power. With the Omni-Alchemist System, she can create weapons deadlier than an arsenal, fortresses stronger than steel, and medicines that could cure or kill with a single drop. While the world slept, she stockpiled. While they wasted time..she built an empire. When the world burned, she rose from the ashes—untouchable, unstoppable and unchallenged. Let the apocalypse come. Let them beg for mercy. Because in this life, Gu Qingran is no one’s prey. She is the storm.

"What?"

The devil has three rules. The first—never defy his orders. The second—never seek his face. The third—never try to leave. Elias learned these rules the moment he was sold. Born an Omega to a disgraced noble house, his future had never been his own. When his parents’ debts grew too steep, they handed him over as payment to the most feared Alpha in the kingdom—the Lord of Ravenspire. No one who enters Ravenspire ever leaves. No one has ever seen its master’s face and lived to tell the tale. Wrapped in shadows and whispers, he is known only as The Devil—a warlord, a monster, a man whose very name makes kings tremble. For years, Elias survived by keeping his head down, obeying the rules, and enduring the cold isolation of the keep. But when The Devil appoints him as his personal scribe, his world shifts. The unseen master who once seemed like a ghost begins to feel unnervingly real. A hand brushing too close. A voice low enough to send shivers down his spine. A presence that lingers even when unseen. And then there is the door at the end of the hall—the one no servant dares approach, the one locked tight as if guarding a terrible secret. Elias knows he should follow the rules. He knows he should never look. But curiosity is a dangerous thing. Because the moment he breaks the second rule… The Devil starts watching him back.

He suddenly got transported into a completely different world, one with magic running rampant. Unfortunately, that wasn't even the worst-case scenario for the detective. 'All the main protagonists in the story got isekai-ed in a stable environment, so how in the hell did I end up in the middle of a nasty conflict between two warrior tribes?!'

Which way is North? How do you reach North without seeing? His world is darkness, but not silence; for the staff in his hand sings. Curved from an ancient tree whose roots drink from the hidden warmth beneath the snow, it hums a melody only he can hear, a compass tuned to the heartbeat of the North. He navigates the world searching for his mother's homeland. The land he seeks is no barren waste. Rivers slice through ice like liquid sapphire, their music harmonizing with his staff. Towers of crystal and light pierce the horizon - spires built by forgotten hands, refracting auroras into swords of color. Here, cold is not an end but a crucible. Fruit trees, heavy with pomegranates glowing like embers, thrive where others would perish. Their sweetness is earned. Their roots know secrets. This is Frostsprite, where the land is like a fable. Are all fables true?

Tiga puluh sembilan tahun kemudian, sebuah film yang diadaptasi dari kasus tersebut, “The Great Heist of Jin City,” menjadi hit box office, menarik perhatian ahli patologi forensik Ye Huairui. Sebulan kemudian, Ye Huairui pindah ke sebuah vila tua, hanya untuk mengetahui bahwa itu dulunya adalah kediaman Yin Jiaming. ==== Pada tengah malam, setelah badai petir, Ye Huairui menemukan sebaris tulisan di mejanya: “Siapa kau!!?” Ye Huairui berpikir, apakah tempat ini berhantu? Dia menulis balasan: “Entah kau hantu, atau kau pembunuhnya.” Pesan di meja berubah menjadi: "Aku bukan hantu, dan aku juga bukan pembunuh! Aku tidak membunuh siapa pun!!" Ye Huairui: … Hubungan luar biasa lintas waktu dan ruang mempertemukan dua orang yang terpisah tiga puluh sembilan tahun di rumah tua misterius itu. Maka dimulailah perjalanan investigasi lintas waktu. “Yin Jiaming telah dizalimi; pelaku sebenarnya masih bebas.” Dengan bantuan seorang ahli patologi forensik jenius dari tiga puluh sembilan tahun di masa depan, dapatkah Yin Jiaming membuktikan ketidakbersalahannya dan menulis ulang nasib buruknya? ==== Kebenaran tidak akan diubah, hanya dikubur. Kisah cinta melampaui ruang dan waktu tentang kematian dan penebusan, dan pada akhirnya, aku akan menggenggam tanganmu erat. ==== Kata-kata pertama yang diucapkan Yin Jiaming kepada Ye Huairui adalah: “Ruirui, kemarilah peluk aku.” Ye Huairui merentangkan tangannya: “Kemarilah. Jika kau tidak bisa memelukku, berarti kau pengecut.”

I'm not sure exactly where this story will go, but if you want a story that isn't one of those harem, power fantasy type stories, then you've come to the right place. The only hope I have is to bring a story to life; not just about fireballs and whatnot, but also about the life, scenery, and people of a fantasy world. Idk if that sounds cliche, but that's the general idea I have for this story. I'll modify that statement to better explain this whole shebang as we move along. I'll also be developing the world, too; it'd be pretty awesome to have something on the side, like a bestiary type list of creatures and plants and materials, people, cultures, and whatnot--something along the lines of a fictional 'The Travels' by Marco Polo. My minimum word count per chapter is around 1,200 words. Of course, word count will vary between chapters, but 1,200 is just the minimum I've created for myself. That number will probably grow as my writing skills develop and I find my 'writing voice'. This is a complete passion project I've started again in the midst of a very busy time of my life; I can't promise any scheduling, but nonetheless, I think it'll be a fun ride for all of us, if a bit bumpy lol. Thank you for taking the time to check out my book! I hope you enjoy it :)
