Surviving the Game as a Barbarian is a Korean fantasy novel where 29-year-old gamer Hansu Lee is transported into his favorite, brutally difficult game, Dungeon and Stone, as the barbarian character Bjorn, son of Yandel. Using ten years of gaming knowledge, Bjorn must survive the dangerous Labyrinth, manage high taxes, and navigate a treacherous world to stay alive.

The strength of my novel lies in its emotions - fear, silence,love, thrill, memories, and the hidden truths - combined with a mysterious atmosphere that makes ordinary village life feel extraordinary. It consists stories where real life meets mystery, and the biggest surprise is how close the truth feels to reality. It is inspired by real experiences from my village life. The characters and events feel authentic because they are rooted in truth, but I have added layers of mystery and suspense that keep readers guessing until the end.

#DARK ROMANCE #SMUT #BDSM Sarah Beth's life had always seemed destined for misfortune. She was going to die soon. The countdown of her life dropped to ninety-eight days the day she learned that her ex-fiancee had cheated on her with her own cousin, and her family had taken everything she owned. Her property, her security, the last thing her parents left behind… all gone. With death already waiting, Sarah Beth didn’t want peace. She wanted revenge. So she came up with what felt like the perfect plan. She would provoke a mafia boss! A mafia boss would be someone powerful enough to instill terror, someone who wouldn’t bother killing people beneath him but would gladly ruin them by the time she's dead. She wanted him to give her aunt a good beating, crush her uncle’s pride by destroying the house he robbed her of, sell off her cousin to an old man, strip her ex-fiancee of all the money and money's worth he had left. And she found the man for the job: Preston Cougar, a man her intel claimed was a mafia boss. But after rushing into marriage with him to secure her plan, Sarah Beth slowly began to doubt. A mafia boss who didn’t even know the basic names of common guns? A man who took the BDSM tools she handed him—pink egg-shaped vibrator, feathers—and casually hung them on the wall like decorations the next day? A mafia boss who asks her what money laundering actually means? This wasn’t a dangerous underworld king. This was the wrong man! “I want a divorce,” she said. He only looked at her calmly. “I don’t divorce.” "Divorce me already so I can use my last days for revenge." "Revenge is your reason? Such a small reason?!" Anger quickly flared in his eyes. "Fine!" She thought he simply understood and was willing to divorce and let her go. But the next day, her best friend called, “Sarah… did you see the news? Your ex-fiancee was shot dead.” "..." Across the room, the man called Cougar lay sprawled on the floor like a lazy puppy, smiling faintly.

He chose every single member of his squad. She was the one he never chose. Kang Dae-hyun is a legend. The kind of detective other detectives tell stories about. So when the Commissioner gives him orders to handpick his own special investigations unit, he does what he does best—he chooses the best of the best. A veteran who's seen it all. A tech genius who can find anyone. A former special forces soldier who never backs down. A rookie with impossible instincts. A profiler who reads people like books. Perfect. Balanced. His team. Then the Commissioner makes one more call. Yoon Seo-ah was Korea's most famous actress. Now she's a freshly graduated police officer with zero field experience, zero street knowledge, and zero business being anywhere near a real investigation. She doesn't want to be on Team Zero. He doesn't want her there either. But the Commissioner doesn't explain himself. He never does. And in this job, you don't ask questions—you solve cases. Now the most untested detective in Seoul is working alongside the most unorthodox squad in police history. Murders. Robberies. Conspiracies that reach higher than anyone wants to admit. Case after case, they'll have to figure out if she sinks or swims. If she becomes one of them. Or if she tears them apart. What happens when a woman who spent her life pretending meets six people who deal only in truth? Do they solve the cases? Do they fall in love? Does she find the justice she never said she was looking for? Or does someone on Team Zero have secrets that could destroy them all? No one knows. Not even them.

"In a game where every move is calculated, the most dangerous player is the one who doesn't know they're playing." At thirty-three, Han Bo-young is the prodigy of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency. A dual graduate of American law and medical schools, she possesses a mind that operates like a supercomputer, dissassembling crime scenes with a clinical coldness that unnerves her peers. But Bo-young is haunted, not by the dead, but by a past and present she's unable to escape from. The city is paralyzed when a series of "impossible" murders begins. The victims are high-profile figures: government officials, business moguls, and icons, found murdered in very artistic ways. At every scene, a signature is left behind: a single, black obsidian chess piece. The media calls him The Grandmaster, a killer who treats the city as a board and human lives as pawns. As Bo-young leads the hunt, she finds herself trapped in a psychological cage. The killer seems to be omniscient, always aware and prepared for every situation. The pieces are moving. The clock is ticking. And in this game, checkmate means the end of a soul.

Mumin suffers from deep psychological struggles, haunted by nightmares and overthinking, yet he hides a secret that refuses to leave him. Born from a traumatic childhood incident, a dark personality emerges—Musa, his opposite, mysterious and dangerous. Both share a common desire: to live peacefully with the one they love. But Musa’s past, intertwined with global politics, corruption, and power, drags them into a deadly game, where failure could plunge the world into oppression, tyranny, and bloodshed. And with it comes a thirst for revenge.

Every New Year’s Eve, the blood moon rises, and with it comes a deadly truth: sleep can mean death. Some who succumb are dragged into the Lunar Plane, a nightmarish expanse ruled by lunar creatures that consume minds. Some humans, known as dreamers, survive the ordeal but at a terrible cost. They wander the creatures’ endless voids, returning only when they escape, their presence feared above all. Society has learned to dread them, seeing them as both a threat and a resource: unstable, unpredictable, yet capable of knowledge, foresight, and psychic power far beyond normal human limits. To control this danger, governments and mega-corporations maintain strict contracts with known dreamers. Some are coerced into monitoring the Lunar Plane, keeping the peace, hunting rogue entities, or extracting intelligence from the void for profit and defense. Others are weaponized for warfare, their unique abilities exploited to infiltrate enemy networks, manipulate adversaries, or sabotage opposing forces on either earth, or the lunar plane in which they are teleported to in their dreams. Wealthy citizens protect themselves with neural implants, anti-dreamer wards, and other advanced technology, creating a stark divide between those who can go toe to toe with dreamers, and those who cannot. Dreamers walk a razor’s edge, feared, exploited, and isolated, their humanity often traded for survival or for the strategic advantage of those who control the world above. Ryven never wished to become a dreamer. He never wanted to roam a void of horrors or wield powers he did not understand, yet after a sudden car crash, he awakens inside a the expanse of a horrifying creature, forced to watch it mimic his friends and family as he struggles to find a way back to life in the world above, a world both dazzling and terrifying in its technological sophistication yet blind to the nightmare many inhabit. As the blood moon rises again, the boundary between life and the Lunar Plane blurs, and Ryven must navigate a world that fears him even as it uses him.

A god stole his soul, erased his past, and called it love. Now reborn as Evernight, he must survive a world of angels and devils while deciding whether to obey his creator… or destroy the gods themselves.

"What are you willing to do to achieve something? How serious are you about achieving your goals?" This was the question that Loki and the other people who came to the Four Directions sect to earn their freedom were asked on their first day in the sect. For Loki, this question was easy for him to answer because he was reborn as a slave in this world and had already defied the will of his slave master in order to join the Four Directions sect. He had braved danger and suffering to reach the Four Directions sect. So he knew what it meant to be desperate and was willing to do whatever was required of him to achieve his goal. In the world of the blessed heaven realm, there is no such thing as human rights, and freedom is a luxury that very few people have. It is said that everyone is a slave to someone. The only difference is how strong their master is. So he, just like everyone else, is under the control of someone above them. But he doesn't want to remain a slave forever. He aspires to greatness, immortality, and freedom. He wants to acquire enough power to gain control of his fate. He also wants to rise to the top of the world and be the one to control others. He even wants to gain power and control over death. In order to achieve this, he is willing to do anything. This is his answer to the question of what he is willing to do to achieve his goals. His answer to this question was why he awakened the Fenrir metac. This is a metac that can help him achieve his goals by granting him the ability to find prey, hunt prey, and devour them to strengthen himself. With the Fenrir metac, he will transform from a prey into a predator. He will even have the chance to rise to the top of the food chain and become the strongest predator. That is to be his purpose in life, and with great luck and perseverance, he might achieve it.

Life was normal. Chaotic, messy, fun. Until she met Hardin Briggs. Six feet two, with a face that made it impossible to look away. Piercing blue eyes that seemed to see through everything, perfect jawline, define nose, dark lashes that shouldn't belong to a guy, lips worth losing your mind over—and that faint, impossible smirk. For someone like Luna—wild, reckless, impulsive—he was too magnetic. Part of it was the mystery, the unreadable edge that kept her up all night. But it wasn’t just him she was drawn to. It was the danger. The closer she got, the more her life was in danger. And when she discovered the secret world he lived in—missions that could kill, enemies who didn’t forgive, contracts signed in blood, people watching from the shadows, and a life where trust was a weapon—it was already too late. She was in too deep. She thought she knew herself. But... some feelings don’t just change you. They consume you. And Hardin was something she wasn’t ready for.

No one would know

Seventy-five girls died in a single night, and the building that held them swallowed the truth with them. The doors were locked from the inside, the cameras failed at the exact same minute, and by morning there was nothing left but silence arranged too perfectly to be accidental. When Detective Elaya steps into the case, she expects blood, rage, a visible monster — but what she finds instead is something far more terrifying: precision. Files begin to disappear, identities blur, and a missing plastic surgery record hints that someone has rewritten more than just evidence. Czar walks away carrying a guilt he neither denies nor fully explains, speaking of fate as if the ending has already been decided. And somewhere in the shadows, Emris operates without haste, without emotion — dismantling bodies, erasing trails, protected by power that reaches higher than the law. The deeper Elaya searches, the clearer it becomes that this was never just a massacre. It was a design. A warning. In this world, destiny — Qadr — is not something you escape. It is something that hunts you, reshapes you, and waits patiently for the moment you finally understand that you were never chasing the darkness… you were walking exactly where it wanted you to go.
