Summary
Twenty-five years ago, the Shroud between worlds tore open—and most of the realm’s shamans died sealing it.
Now the dead are restless. Shrines rot from the inside out. Spirits burn with foxfire that should not exist in the living world.
Chan, the young shaman-general, bears a legacy stained by catastrophe. Around him gather protectors from the provinces—storm-callers, healers, illusionists, and spirit-speakers—each carrying their own secrets, fractures, and fears. As corruption creeps through shrines, rivers, and dreams, the line between the living world and the Shroud grows dangerously thin.
Bound by duty and divine law, they must navigate palace intrigue, forbidden bargains, and the terrible cost of power. Because some threats cannot be defeated by strength alone—and some truths, once uncovered, demand everything in return.

Summary
Seungmin agrees to one night out with his friends.
By the time he discovers they’ve brought him to an upscale BDSM club, leaving would only prove he’s intimidated—and Seungmin refuses to give any of them the satisfaction. He can go for ONE night he tells himself. Just one.
Instead, Seungmin finds himself returning to Back Door for perfectly reasonable explanations—none of which have anything to do with the club's handsome, infuriatingly muscular Head Dom waiting inside.
Changbin noticed Seungmin long before they spoke. He noticed the careful distance Seungmin kept, the questions he didn’t ask and the attention that always seemed to find its way back to Changbin. But Changbin has spent years teaching people not to mistake curiosity for consent. Until the blond stranger chooses otherwise, watching is all either of them is allowed to do.
Neither of them is prepared for what happens when watching is no longer enough.

Summary
“I would have given you the world. I would have worshipped the ground you walked on,” Hongjoong said. “But you just had to go and throw it in the trash, didn’t you? Nothing is ever enough for you.”
“Hongjoong-ah—“
“If I ever see your face around here again, I’ll kill you for real this time. I’ve exhausted all my mercy on you.”
“Please—“
“Goodbye, mint.”

High on the drug that was self-righteousness, Seonghwa—one of the most well-known detectives in Seoul—somehow managed to lose the love of his life to the same moral high ground that would ultimately lead to his descent into madness.
Five years later, Seonghwa has done everything he can to provoke a reaction from Hongjoong, known as the Spider—the most notorious crime lord in all of Korea and the supposed love of his life, or so he thought. All to no avail.
As a last-ditch effort, he started setting Spider’s stuff on fire, just to get his attention. Which, in hindsight, might not have been the best idea.
When Hongjoong finally snaps, will Seonghwa get the reaction he’s been desperately seeking—or something far, far worse?

Summary
Felix is just a regular young man – a normal human – on a summer trip to New York City with his two best friends, trying to forget about his upcoming senior year of college and then the monotonous, unending doom of the corporate workforce sure to follow. That is until he and his friends are invited to an exclusive nightclub by a mysterious man who kind of creeps Felix out. There, he is introduced to a new, dangerous, and magical world, and meets a few interesting characters along the way.
The club’s name? Oddinary.
Or a Modern with Magic AU inspired by the Oddinary trailer. It includes a big dose of found family, a dash of sad for back story and plot (ok, maybe more than a dash), and a lot of cameos from other k-pop groups.
