In every story there are heroes and villains. They play the roles of both. Crescent Cafe is a nondescript cafe located at an alley, bringing in less than around 10 customers per day. Underneath the exterior of a failing business, the building masks the headquarters for 8 hired "couriers", doing jobs that range from menial ones such as catching a cheating spouse to skilled ones such as assassinating a gang leader. As long as it does not go against their principles and the pay's enough, the job is considered done. No one pays attention to them and only some know their secret identities. Han Byul is a recent university graduate crippling with student debt, fumbling around to find a part-time job that can at least sustain her until she finds a proper job. Frustrated after another failed job interview, she stumbled upon Crescent Cafe; she went in hoping for a cup of coffee and a peace of mind. What she got was a deadly secret that left the men with two choices: either kill her or take her in. But hey, at least the coffee's good. Action - comedy - romance... and many more in between. Hopefully. [Disclaimer: This story contains descriptions of sensitive themes, death, blood, violence and mild language. No explicit content.

A case of mistaken identity, or a case of double identity? They are a rookie security team who were given a shot at becoming bodyguards for the daughter of a famous prime minister candidate. It's their first job but it may as well be their last when she went missing under their watch, but the search for her lead them to the discovery of an unknown identical twin, who has been living a life of the complete opposite. She seems similar yet at the same time starkly different, it leaves them wondering whether the person they have been looking for has actually been right under their noses all along. At the same time the election campaign is robustly conducted, there is a rising threat from the infamous outlaws called the 'Reflectors'. These outlaws steal from the rich and give to the poor, making them the good guys to some and bad guys to the others. As they try to piece the mysterious circumstances of her disappearance together, the idea of her being related to the Reflectors might not seem like a far fetch. In the quest to search for the missing pieces of the puzzle, it then comes to a point where they, too, question their own identities. Mystery-romance...? And everything in between.

Embrace your scars, do not look to erase them; for sometimes answers lie within them. Following the fall of Queen Emira as Lucida's ruler, Akira Hwang has lived a quiet life in Nyla surrounded by the new people she has met and learnt to trust. What she doesn't expect next is to find herself wearing the crown and sitting on the throne, taking the place that she once thought was too high for her to reach. Meanwhile in Nyla, the pressure to become king lies upon the white-blooded prince as they unveil the dark secrets behind the existence of the Shadow King. For both of them, wearing the crown comes with heavy responsibility; they find themselves chained to the destinies written in their blood again, divided by the hierarchy set by the blood flowing inside them. Time is running out to set things right; in order to fix what's broken, they need to open up their past scars and embrace the meaning that lie behind them.

This is a world where your worth is as much as the colour of your blood. Akira is the queen's most trusted soldier and general. Being the highest ranked amongst others, she is ruthless in doing her job. She only has one weakness: she cannot see colours. The world only represents itself as black and white to her and she has learnt to use it to her advantage. She slashes people with her sword without even batting an eye - the blood splattered across is merely a liquid that holds no meaning to her. In the kingdom of Lucida, the people are divided based on the colour of their blood. Royalty bear white blood, noblemen take crimson, commoners live with blue while the servants, considered the lowest in the ranks, are left with yellow blood. No one is allowed to marry outside their ranks and no one ever dares to break the norm throughout the centuries. When the queen orders her to find the identity of the mysterious Shadow King, she sets out on a quest to find the real king. Her list is narrowed down to 7 men, all from different backgrounds. Blood has to be shed in order to confirm the king's identity but she has one problem: she cannot determine the truth with her own eyes.

We are all connected, even though our paths have never crossed before. "Let's play a game, shall we? I will count to 20 and you can run away from me, but if I ever catch up to you, I will kill you. Sounds simple, right?" 6 men arrive at a villa, greeted by the owners who are a peculiar pair; one is a man with a smile that does not leave his face and another is a man who seems to only speak through his eyes. The trip takes a sinister turn when they are pulled into a game of horror, causing them to desperately try and escape with their lives. They are only given one chance to run away, but if they ever get caught... The answer as to why they are being targeted may go beyond what they can fathom; a connection they can't even begin to imagine. "I'm giving you a chance, so now... run."

Waking up has never been so interesting. You've escaped the gallows, run through a battlefield and stowed away on a pirate ship named the Treasure, all in the span of a single day. Even better, you've lost all your memories and have no idea who you are. Then you meet the Kim Hongjoong, captain of the Treasure, the ruthless Pirate King of the Caribbean. Life as an amnesiac on board a pirate ship doesn't seem very promising, but hey, anything's better than becoming shark food. cover by @crimsonteez italian translation by @lostinwonderland__00
