Life hurts a lot, that's just how it is. At least that is what Destiny thought, living a life where living hurts more than dying. But one day everything changes when an unexpected guest appears. What does this long journey hide behind? Will it be worth it to be alive again? "Sailors tell stories, Pirates make legends!"

"As soon as I laid my eyes on you, I knew you were different." A pirates life is so much different to Seongwha's palace. Instead of drowning themselves in wine and posh liquor, they fill themselves with rum. Only rum. Never served by guards or maids, or poured with posh talks, no. It comes straight from the bottle itself. Warm and salty, it burns your tongue. The lace that coats it is addictive. Sometimes, Seongwha thinks it's not just the rum that makes a pirates life so addictive. It's a pirate.

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.

SPIN-OFF/SEQUEL FROM 'A PIRATE'S TALE' I've hid from the world, all of my life. My existence is merely a legend. One forgotten by the world, hundreds of years ago. In a world where the idea of love has become nothing but a cryptic and cynical joke, lies me. A reincarnation of Eros' last gift to humanity after Cadere, the Great War between us, and the gods. "You are the cure for mankind. A blessing, my blessing." And what exactly is this 'cure' you may be wondering? Well, it depends on who you ask. To some it's Cupid, to others Aphrodite. But all of those answers can never be said for certain, can they? Well, that is, all except for mine. The Aris. Choi Arae is my name. And this is my story. With my brothers by my side, I soon discover that not everyone has forgotten about my legend. "You're the Aris, aren't you?" "...Yes."

"I was going to be nice, but I only have so much patience. If you insist on being a bad girl, I'm going to treat you like one." You and your best friend get pulled into a hostage situation when a group of eight Korean men attempt to rob a bank. Although you are scared for your safety, you can't help but feel attracted to two of the robbers in particular. But with a target on your back, will you even make it out of this situation alive?

In the mystical expanse where the sea whispers ancient tales, a Siren and Pirate stand as unlikely allies bound by a quest. In search for a crucial relic that stands as the heart of the North Sea, together they set sail to reclaim a stolen power, forging an alliance that transcends the surface of the sea and unveil the mysteries that were buried along the way. But amidst the tumultuous waves and swirling currents, one question remains: Will they emerge victorious, or will the depths of the sea claim them as it's own? The answer lies beyond the words.
