Fragments in the Wall

When humanity faces extinction, what breaks first? our bodies, or our humanity? How much of ourselves are we willing to lose to stay alive? In 2104, The world has already ended, but its consequences haven’t. In the OctaCore: the last of humanity's shelters, resources are limited and the radiation is rising fast. Within two years, the surface will become unlivable. Long before that, the food will run out. The monsters that destroyed the world are still out there, but they’re no longer the worst threat. With the shelters on the brink, the council faces an impossible choice: Cull 80% of the population to preserve the remaining 20%, or Launch a suicidal mission into the wasteland to retrieve a supply shipment that could sustain humanity long enough to rebuild. A small team is chosen for the Hail Mary attempt. Memory-scarred survivors, soldiers who’ve already lost too much, and civilians carrying secrets they’d kill to protect—bound together by the thin hope that something out there might still be worth saving. Outside, they will face the world that once was: a ruined city haunted by monsters, nazis and the aftermath of choices no one wants to admit they made. What to Expect: 1. Morally questionable characters 2. No clear good or evil—only survival 3. Character-driven beginning → escalating high-stakes plot 4. Brutal worldbuilding 5. Mature themes (genocide, moral collapse, societal failure) 6. Gore, violent imagery, disturbing psychological content

Where the Lights stays ON

On a quiet backstreet in Seoul, there’s a small café that never closes. Warm lights glow through the windows long after midnight. The coffee is strong, the bread is fresh, and the people inside seem… a little too watchful. They call it Five Leaves Café. Few customers know that the gentle owner who brews their coffee once led a secret military squad that officially “never existed.” Or that the smiling barista, the clumsy cook, the soft-spoken baker, and the playful floor manager were once ghosts of the battlefield too. They survived missions no one would admit happened. Then one day, they disobeyed an order. And lost everything. Now, Kang Do-hyun only wants one thing — a quiet life where no one else gets hurt. No more guns. No more blood. Just coffee… and lights that stay on. But peace is fragile. When Yoon Se-rin, the nation’s most beloved actress, stumbles into his café while running from relentless cameras and a life she can no longer breathe in, their worlds collide. She lives under spotlights. He hides in the shadows. She’s adored by millions. He trusts no one. Yet somehow, in the stillness after closing time, between burnt coffee, shared meals, and sleepless nights, they begin to find something they thought they’d lost long ago— Comfort. Safety. Home. But the past doesn’t disappear so easily. Old missions resurface. Secrets begin to unravel. And the closer Se-rin gets to Do-hyun, the more dangerous loving him becomes. Because some ghosts don’t stay buried. And some wars follow you home. Still… Every night, the café lights turn on. Waiting. For the broken. For the lost. For anyone who needs a place to rest. And maybe— for two tired hearts learning how to love again.
