    Some people hurt themselves, while others hurt those around them. Both are human responses. And if it's human, perhaps it can be cured. Dr. Park Seonghwa was certain of this truth. As a psychotherapist, he believed he could observe Hongjoong, a criminal convicted of multiple murders, without becoming entangled. But curiosity carries a price. When Seonghwa hesitates, pulling back, Hongjoong feels used, and escapes custody, hunting him down. What follows is a descent into hell: captivity, manipulation, and brutal games of control, where Seonghwa's own mind becomes the battlefield. He soon discovers that understanding a monster may mean becoming one yourself. And through it all, one question remains: is this connection salvation, or the destruction of them both?

    A king chose to stand. A blade fell in the rain. The world did not end - it learned to live with the consequences. In Velithar, belief is power, and silence can be deadlier than war. When a king dies beneath a torn sky, his son inherits more than a crown - he inherits the weight of decisions already set in motion. While councils argue and borders hesitate, a quiet assassin begins to understand the cost of a single night's work, and a false god tightens his grip without ever raising a blade. This is not a story about good and evil. It is a story about what remains when conviction outpaces wisdom, and the price paid by those who act - and those who hesitate. Ash Befalls the Crown is an epic fantasy of consequence, sacrifice, and the slow violence of belief.

    A quiet, devastating myth about how fear creates monsters, how power is shaped by those who worship it, and how innocence is erased not by evil intent but by certainty. It reframes angels and demons as symbols rather than absolutes: Magnificence embodies light that becomes weaponized through public fear and moral outsourcing, while Doom represents darkness that learns to see, stay, and bear witness. At its heart, the story contrasts domination disguised as order with survival practiced as restraint, showing how persecution hardens into tradition and how violence perpetuates itself through "reason." The winged people are not redeemed or saved; they are believed, and that belief becomes the most radical act in the world. Ultimately, it is a tragedy of translation. how good intentions, once turned into symbols, escape their owners, and a meditation on the quiet courage of choosing patience, discretion, and presence over conquest.

    We knew it had existed once, but no one knew it was still alive. Our paths had never crossed-not until March 27, 2032, the day of that accident in the Hammerfest glaciers. Poor sailor... The nanomorph awakened in his body for the first time. Then it moved to another, and another after that... Each one it touched turned Grey-drained, pale, weary of life. Scientists called them The Changed, but the people made their own word: The Weirds. In time, that became the only name they were known by. Soon, their numbers reached the thousands, and the world sank beneath the melancholic shadow of these new beings. They wanted to be healed-but we failed them. And then, one day... another color was born: the Reds. But they were different. The nanomorph had given them power. They carried an undying spark within, their sharp minds and boundless energy opening the door to an unknown future. "We are the next step of humanity," they said, taking the Greys under their wings. And the whispers began: "The Reds... are coming to take over the world."

    The Good Guy Psychological Thriller | Short Story In a dim, forgotten bar on a quiet afternoon, two strangers meet-both carrying the weight of betrayal, rage, and secrets too heavy to speak aloud. One is a man broken by his wife's infidelity and the brutal aftermath of his own actions. The other is a self-proclaimed "good guy," a man who believes in doing what needs to be done, no matter the cost. As the two men bond over shared pain and cigarettes, a dark pact is formed. But beneath the surface of empathy lies something colder, more calculating. When the time comes to clean up the mess-both literal and emotional-the narrator's twisted sense of justice takes over. Told through the chillingly calm voice of a man who sees himself as a savior, The Good Guy explores the thin line between mercy and murder, and asks: what happens when the person who claims to help you is the one you should fear most?
