That is my last memory. “……!” I gasped for breath. Just now…? My fingertips tingled. I couldn’t feel anything. All that remained was the instinct that something was wrong. But what? What was wrong? I tried to recall what I’d done before falling asleep. I was planning to see a movie I’d been waiting for after…

    • by Cristae — (Extra Story 42) The Fossil in the Terrarium_2 Hong Seokyoung’s son. It was a remarkably interesting choice of words. Woo Huijae had never really hidden the fact that he was Hong Seokyoung’s “son.” At first, when Hong Seokyoung hadn’t known, he’d introduced him as his disciple, but that was long past. Whether during his solo trips to America or when Guild Mimi was active in Las Vegas, Hong Seokyoung would sometimes refer to Woo Huijae as his son. Since neither of them tried to hide…
    • by Cristae — 574 (Extra Story 41) The Fossil in the Terrarium_1 “Um, sunbae…” Han Taekyung, looking uncharacteristically hesitant, called out to Woo Huijae. Woo Huijae, who was reviewing the files of “research applicants” that had already been screened once by Kim Chaemin, then by Sandra, and then again by Imi-seon and Hong Seokyoung, frowned as soon as he saw Han Taekyung. “Did you hit someone?” “Huh? I’m not the type to go around hitting people.” “…….” Woo Huijae’s…
    • by Cristae — 573 (Extra Story 40) Summoning_4 “Oh my…” Ellen Donner straightened up from weeding her garden, her face puzzled. Because the village was so remote, it was rare for visitors to come by. Unless someone suffered an unfortunate accident like the college students who left a few days ago, it was unlikely anyone would come all the way out here. It was far from other cities, not a tourist spot, and had no particular attractions. Vrrroom. But the shadow approaching the village from afar was…
    • by Cristae — 572 (Extra Story 39) Summoning_3 Among the agents dressed all in black, Kim Chaemin, in her bright dress, was impossible to miss. And it was Kim Chaemin, after all. Even the agents who had been glaring at Han Taekyung and Alex Hope, pressuring them to hurry up and talk, bowed their heads as soon as Kim Chaemin pushed them aside and sat down next to them. That was the power of a great mage. The youngest great mage alive. With the other one still missing, Kim Chaemin’s status would only…
    • by Cristae — 571 (Extra Story 38) Summoning_2 The trees were so densely packed it was almost impossible to see the sky. At first glance, it looked like a coniferous forest, but anyone with a sharp eye would quickly notice these weren’t trees they’d ever seen before. There was something oddly off about the shapes of the trees, and the sky overhead was filled with stars like a night sky. Yet the forest cast not a single shadow, which made it clear what this place was. A dungeon. Blue light shimmered…
    • by Cristae — 570 (Extra Story 37) Summoning_1 Present. A freshly formed dungeon in Kansas, USA. “Ellen Meyer. After immigrating to the U.S., she took her husband’s surname and became Ellen Donner. One of the founders of Atlas Pharmaceuticals.” “Not to mention the neighbor, Christopher. But what about that sheriff? Was there anything on him? I don’t remember anything.” “Me neither. I guess he never worked at Atlas. Or maybe he just wasn’t anyone noteworthy.” “Didn’t you say the…
    • by Cristae — 569 (Extra Story 36) The One We Waited For From the moment Han Taekyung and Alex Hope became trapped in a freshly formed dungeon somewhere in the United States... About a year earlier. Korea, Hunter Training High School, faculty office. It was a spacious, sunlit room. Along the windows, large and small potted plants stood in a row. Anyone with an interest in plants would know that some of them could never bloom in the same season, but none of the people currently in the office paid any…
    • by Cristae — 568 (Extra Story 35) The Wicked Lamb_3 “Nathan’s already finished the repairs?” Christopher, who lived next door to the sheriff, feigned indifference but was clearly interested in news about the young men. “What about those boys?” “They’re at Nathan’s place.” In truth, Christopher Lehmann wasn’t the only one interested. Everyone in town was curious about the rare outsiders. During the week that Young and Sandy had helped in the garden, how many neighbors had found excuses…
    • by Cristae — 567 (Extra Story 34) The Wicked Lamb_2 “Haha! Should I leave this here?” “My, you’re strong as an ox.” “I told you, I’m an Awakened, after all.” Clear weather. Blinding sun. A cool breeze. And beneath it all, young people at work. Mrs. Donner handed out bottles of ice-cold water to the houseguests. These kind-hearted young men, feeling guilty about imposing while their car was being repaired, had volunteered to help with odd jobs. She hadn’t expected much from college…
    • by Cristae — 566 (Extra Story 33) The Wicked Lamb_1 A small chandelier with bulbs glowed softly overhead. In its gentle light, the pale yellow wallpaper shimmered warmly. The cupboards, refrigerator, and oven filling the kitchen were all a pretty yellow, matching the wallpaper as if part of a set. Though the years and the touch of their owners had left their marks, everything was so well cared for that it was easy to imagine how it must have looked when new. The woman who had tended to this home pulled a…
    • by Cristae — 565 (Extra Story 32) The Monster’s Lair Kansas, USA. A quiet stretch of highway. A battered old car rattled along the empty road, then rolled to a stop. The engine sputtered and died. From the driver’s seat, a young man in sunglasses stepped out. Dressed in a shabby jumper, he scratched his head and lifted his phone high, moving it around in search of a signal. Soon, another person climbed out from the passenger seat. A small-framed young man with a cap pulled low stretched his arms…
    • by Cristae — 564 (Extra Story 31) Stars That Shine Together_3 Park Seohyun will become a great mage. Woo Huijae had declared it—not as a hope based on her potential, but with certainty. ‘She will become a great mage.’ Woo Huijae was not a mage. Sandra had once wondered how he could be so sure, especially since Kim Chaemin was standing beside him when he said it. Sandra had glanced at her suspiciously, but Chaemin had only smiled. Sandra herself was not a mage, so she’d thought it was something…
    • by Cristae — 563 (Extra Story 30) Stars That Shine Together_2 Park Nogyeong’s unique magic was one of the key elements Woo Huijae had identified for the Mont-Saint-Michel raid. There were still no plans to face that insane faerie directly at Mont-Saint-Michel. Hong Seokyoung, worried that the guild members might do something reckless, made sure to remind them from time to time. Of course, that didn’t mean he was leaving it all to chance. Ever since Kim Chaemin had voiced her concerns about…
    • by Cristae — 562 (Extra Story 29) Stars That Shine Together_1 “………Mmm?” The room was dark. Cup noodles and empty cups were scattered messily across the desk, and books and printed reports were piled high. The walls were covered with hastily scribbled notes, written in handwriting so rough as to be nearly illegible. The window was blocked by thick curtains. Yet, through a gap that hadn’t been fully closed, a single bright shaft of sunlight spilled across the bed. From beneath the blanket, a hand…
    • by Cristae — 561 (Extra Story 28) The Hunt Begins Han Taekyung sometimes thought about it. When Hong Seokyoung first asked if he had any plans to return to Korea, offering him a new job, he’d never imagined he’d end up with this kind of work. It wasn’t… that it wasn’t fun. In fact, it was almost too much fun, and sometimes he wondered if it was really all right to enjoy it this much. As for Alex Hope, since this was something he’d wanted himself, Hong Seokyoung hadn’t worried much about him.…
    • by Cristae — 560 (Extra Story 27) Choice_3 Ssshhhhh... Waves crashed along the shoreline. It didn’t look like rain was coming, but the sky was thick with clouds. Perhaps because of the overcast weather, the sea, too, had taken on a muted hue. “How is it?” “Even if you ask me that…” I looked at my father with a complicated expression. “Shouldn’t we look at the land first? The house design is pretty much finished, isn’t it?” “There was land we already had. There was,…
    • by Cristae — 559 (Extra Story 26) Choice_2 Han Eunyeong chose a difficult path. That clever child could not have been unaware. Though she spoke with little confidence, comparing herself to Oh Hyunwook, Park Seohyun, and Lee Seungyeon, the very names she mentioned were far from ordinary. Setting aside Oh Hyunwook and Park Seohyun, whose talents were more than abundant—did she really think Lee Seungyeon's drive was anything average? Even without considering her family background, who brings in a thirty-two-page…
    • by Cristae — 558 (Extra Story 25) Choice_1 The sweltering summer had come to an end. Just as the pleasantly cool breeze began to carry a chill, and the morning and evening air started to feel sharply cold. After discovering the business card, Han Taekyung and Alex had been busily traveling back and forth between the U.S. and Korea. They seemed to stay in Korea for a while, but then left for America once again. This time, no one knew when they would return. ‘You mustn’t cry just because I’m gone,…
