The Man They Had to Hide

In a city where status decides visibility, Kang Doyun exists by design in the margins. Seoul is filled with men who work hard, speak carefully, and disappear the moment they are no longer needed. Doyun is one of them. A contract worker with no name worth remembering, he survives by being reliable, discreet, and invisible. He does not chase ambition. He does not demand recognition. He understands the rules of a world that rewards those already standing above it. Then he is chosen. Not publicly. Not proudly. But quietly, and with conditions. Doyun becomes a man who is allowed close to power, yet never acknowledged by it. Useful, but replaceable. Desired, but hidden. His proximity to elite women and closed rooms does not elevate his status. It exposes how low it truly is. Every interaction is measured. Every mistake carries a cost. Every advantage comes with a leash. In a society where reputation is currency and visibility is risk, being chosen does not mean being valued. As Doyun navigates the cold geometry of Seoul’s professional elite, he is forced to confront a brutal truth: comfort can be more dangerous than failure. Remaining hidden is safer, but it will also erase him. Rising means loss, scrutiny, and standing alone when protection is withdrawn. There is no shortcut upward. No public claim. No system that hands him power. Only decisions that slowly change how the world reacts when his name is spoken. The Man They Had to Hide is a male-oriented urban psychological novel about status, restraint, and the price of being close to power without belonging to it. A slow-burn journey through elite society where success is not defined by who wants you, but by whether you can stand when they no longer hide you.

Grey's anatomy: UNRECOGNIZABLE

George O'Malley didn't die when he pushed a stranger out of the path of that bus. He survived—but barely. Two years, seventeen surgeries, and hundreds of millions of dollars later, George returns to Seattle Grace Hospital with a new face, a new name, and a secret that could destroy everything: the stranger he saved was Vanessa Chen, pharmaceutical heiress, and she's falling in love with him. The problem? His former best friends think he's dead. His ex-wife mourned him. And when Dr. Gideon Matthews—tall, handsome, unfamiliar—walks through those hospital doors, not a single person recognizes the man underneath. Now George is caught between the life he lost and the life he's been given. Vanessa wants the truth. Meredith feels strangely drawn to the new attending. Cristina is getting suspicious. And George? He's drowning in lies, survivors guilt, and the horrifying question: if you lose your face, do you lose yourself? Some second chances come with a price. And George is about to pay it.

7 DAYS ESCAPE

They woke up finding themselves in an unknown facility. It was a puzzle, a brain tasking way to escape, a creation of an ESCAPE ROOM. The had to follow the instructions, they had to sacrifice one another, rely on one another, betray one another. It was a living horror to the students. ... "Argh", "Ouch, it hurts", "Geez, who is pressing on me?", "WHERE ARE WE?". The students muttered to themselves. *4 days ago* "Hello students, so you all will be coming up with different ideas for your upcoming articles. The class with the best article presentation will get an awards and stars on the big day". Their teacher walked in and announced to her students. "An article presentation?". A guy with blond messy hair slowly opened his eyes. "Everyone should put heads together while the class president takes down acceptable ideas. That's all for now. If there are other information, they will be passed out before the day ends". The teacher picked up her books and left. "What are you going to do Amy?". The guy sitting next to her leaned over and gently placed his head on her shoulder. "Probably draft out and collect everyone's ideas before submitting to the teacher". Amara aka Class president replied to her closest friend. "Urgh! Can you guys quit the lovely-dovey acts?". The blond messy guy, Axel spoke up annoyed. Amara's closest friend, Xavier turned around with an angry look. "Scram off, ugly face". Xavier spoke back. "Ahh. Stop it you two". Amara warned then she got up from her seat and walked up to the podium. The students gave out different options towards their projects. About thirty minutes later, they concluded on their article source *AN EXCURSION*. "An excursion it is then". Amara slipped the papers into a file bag then walked out of the class to the staff room.

Mundane Peak: I Can Feel The Future

When The Vanishing began, Alden’s friend disappeared before his eyes. Then his brother, and then apparently nearly half of all mankind next. At the same time, practically all technology from guns and nukes to phones and plumbing mysteriously stopped working. Most who vanished didn’t return - presumably dead in whatever hell hole they’d found themselves transmigrated to. But the ones that did return came back powerful - from Demigods to Saints. The Vanishing can happen to anyone, anywhere and at anytime. With the time difference of the two worlds not being the same. While half a day passes on earth, millennia pass in the other. It can even occur to some people multiple times while to others zero. As you’d expect, the whole world completely changed overnight. The wife you went to bed with last night came back, just a few hours later, as a 3,000 year old Immortal being. Your child who you just helped get dressed this morning welcomes you back from work as an Emperor of some grand dynasty. The life and death enemy who had barely slipped by last time? Now a Saint of slaughter out for vengeance to those who’d wronged him. But that’s not necessarily an issue for Alden, it’s just that while everyone around him was busy becoming a god. He seemed to have been forgotten?? His best friend returned as an odd mix of Warrior and King. Some girl he trained for a bit, and seemed to have unknowingly charmed, awakened to becoming an angel with transcended powers. But, of course not all those Alden knew returned mighty, his brother’s whereabouts still being unknown. Yet Alden had nothing, no vanishing to become Supreme in another world and no awakening in this one either. And most unfortunate of all was that he had been diagnosed with an unknown heart condition just days prior to the world ending. He had no idea how long this heart will last him, but if he’s going to die in this hell, he’ll die finding out what happened to his brother. Even if it means having to lead and manipulate armies of supernatural beings, awhile staying just a normal human. And at the back of his mind, Alden had a sneaking suspicion that the man wearing his best friends face wasn’t entirely his best friend anymore. The powers gained in the other world had a price? Who could’ve guessed? CONTENT WARNING: The MC has no supernatural abilities for the first few volumes. I purposefully made him a mundane powerless to raise the stakes of the apocalyptic survival. But what I can promise is that when the MC finally does get his power, that it will be earned through great suffering and greater sacrifice.
