Surviving the Game as a Barbarian (Volume II)
Hansu Lee is a twenty-nine-year-old game addict who has devoted almost a decade of his life to beating the notoriously difficult game Dungeon & Stone.

Suddenly, Hansu is transformed into a barbarian named Bjorn Yandel inside the world of the game-but it's no longer just a game, it's actually real! With nothing but the weapon in his hand and his prior knowledge of the game, Bjorn must fight for his life in a world full of deadly monsters-and conceal his true identity to avoid execution-in a real-life battle for the survival of the fittest.

THE FORGOTTEN MEADOW by Kim Suji
"Every day, I pray. That this love will die. That I may love you only until today, And tomorrow, this love will be no more." Born of an illicit affair, the ill-fated Imperial Princess Talia Roem Gwirta grows up warped in a world that denies her. With indifferent parents, hostile half-siblings, and servants who treat her with contempt, she survives by baring her thorns to anyone who dares approach. Yet before one man, even Talia's defences crumble- That man is Varkas Laedgo Siorcan, the noble heir of the East. As the vassal of the Imperial House and successor to a grand ducal line, he was forced into perfection from birth. Raised under training that bordered on ab*se, his emotions were dulled, leaving him a man who exists solely for family honour and duty. To fulfil a promise made to the late Empress, he becomes betrothed to Talia's elder half-sister, Aila. Shattered by despair, Talia slowly falls apart. But then- Her love, destined only for death, begins to face an unexpected turning point...
