Joong is a world-famous boxer - brutal in the ring, worshipped by fans, but hollow inside. He spends his days training, fighting, and bleeding under the lights, with nothing soft left in his world. Dunk is a pianist and part-time music teacher who rents a studio in the same building as Joong's gym. He doesn't follow sports, doesn't know who Joong is - only that a tired, bruised man keeps lingering by the door after practice, listening to the music he plays. At first, they're opposites: fists vs. keys, violence vs. art. Joong doesn't talk much, but Dunk starts noticing the way he always comes back, sometimes still bleeding, to sit quietly and listen. What begins as silence slowly turns into something deeper - Dunk teaching Joong music as a way to control his rage, Joong teaching Dunk about endurance and discipline. But their worlds clash when Joong's violent career threatens Dunk's quiet life. Dunk sees the man behind the fighter, and Joong starts to wonder if he can be more than just blood and fame - but the cost of being with him might destroy them both.

Joong doesn't believe in love. He believes in loyalty. In violence. In silence. For years, he's built his empire with blood and broken bones - to keep his little brother, Phuwin, untouched by the world that ruined him. There's only one rule in his life: No one touches Phuwin. Not his enemies. Not strangers. Not even his best friend. Pond knows that rule better than anyone. And yet he looks. Just enough to piss Joong off. Just enough to remind him how thin the line between friendship and war can get. And Dunk? He was never meant to be part of this story. The boy behind the counter, smiling like nothing hurts. The man who built a restaurant Joong visits only with strangers. Dunk waits. Watches. Loves him in secret. And Joong- Joong looks right through him. Because Dunk is background noise. And Joong doesn't love. He uses. He leaves. He destroys. But love doesn't need permission. It festers in silence. It grows in the dark corners of late nights and long stares. It bleeds when Joong walks in with someone else and Dunk has to serve them like nothing inside him is breaking. And when violence comes closer- when Pond crosses a line that should never be crossed, when Dunk becomes a weapon instead of a man- Joong will learn what happens when something he never claimed is ripped away. Because this isn't a love story. It's a slow descent. A dangerous want. A promise of ruin. ⸻ A real dark romance - where loyalty is a knife, love is a trap, and one look can cost everything. (‼️Main Focus: JoongDunk‼️)

Werewolf stories are just that... stories, right? Clans don't exist, do they? Shapeshifters neither... or do they? Dunk's grandfather was certain, they weren't just stories, they were his story. The poor old man was losing his mind, maybe... but Dunk needed to be close to that story. And that's what led him to Valdebruma.

Ji Zi never asked to time-travel, much less wake up trapped inside the infamous Black Tower, her mind sealed and her power shackled. But when her mental bonds suddenly shatter, the once-timid guide who couldn't even soothe a sentinel begins her full-scale counterattack. Guiding and marking sentinels? That's just the beginning. Her real gift lies in CONTROL. As a rare offensive-type guide, unseen in the interstellar world for centuries, Ji Zi refuses to be anyone's fragile little flower. She commands, and they obey. A fiery, battle-hardened black-uniformed commander? A snow-skinned, yandere noble with a dangerous temper? The Federation's most dazzling genius, the man worshiped as the soul of his civilization? Even the last Dark Sentinel, the living weapon once thought lost to madness, breaks free of his cage... all for her. And Ji Zi? She smiles, tilts her head, and whispers- "Be good."

Prologue Amanda, a renowned assassin on Planet No. 0001-better known as Earth-was feared by those who knew her, but thought of as weird by those who didn't. Cold, heartless, merciless, and brutal when it came to work, she was a completely different person during her breaks. In her free time, Amanda indulged in her obsession: reading reverse harem novels-stories where one person had multiple partners. She had always dreamed of having numerous husbands lining up for her. But because of her terrifying identity, no man had ever approached her without malicious intentions. One day, after completing her last mission of the month and preparing to fly abroad for some rest-and of course, to binge on more reverse harem novels-Amanda met the most ironic death imaginable. The legendary assassin was killed not by bullets or blades, but by... a vase. Yes, a vase that fell from the rooftop of a building. But that wasn't the end. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself transmigrated into a new world: Planet No. 0099, an advanced planet with technologies beyond Earth's imagination. And that wasn't all-she discovered she now had a system, a mysterious guide that helped her understand her surroundings and the bizarre situation she was in. And then came the real shocker: this world was in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, and she... was the Zombie Queen! WHAT!? Yet, despite her new identity, she didn't look like a zombie at all. Instead, she appeared human-gorgeous and irresistibly hot, even. When Amanda realized this, she laughed like a maniac. Because in this world-one that wasn't her old life-she was free, powerful, and unstoppable. And she knew exactly what she wanted. To hunt down handsome men. To build the ultimate reverse harem of her dreams.
