This story is like slow food. If you don’t enjoy slow-cooked meals, you might want to move on to another story. But if that’s not the case… Second, set between Barcelona and Seoul, follows Cheong Sara, a Korean engineer raised in Spain who has spent her entire life feeling like she doesn’t fully belong anywhere. At thirty, successful but emotionally detached, she returns to South Korea for the first time in a decade, hoping to reconnect with the roots she lost. But Seoul doesn’t give her the answers she expects. Instead, she meets Nari, a woman who has rejected the life Sara’s parents once fled… and Seon-woo, a reserved publishing CEO whose perfect life hides a quiet emptiness. What begins as a search for identity slowly turns into something deeper—an unexpected journey of love, memory, and second chances. As Sara moves between Barcelona and Seoul, she is forced to confront the parts of herself she has long avoided. Through her relationships and the lives of those around her—each struggling with ambition, illness, intimacy, and family—she begins to understand that becoming someone new often means facing who you used to be. Second is a contemporary emotional romance about identity, distance, and the fragile process of rebuilding yourself in your thirties. It is a story about second chances, quiet resilience, and the invisible threads that tie us to the places and people we try to leave behind. New chapters every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

They say the world will end in shadow. They never say who will be left to stop it. Luna goes to the mountains carrying nothing but unanswered questions and a past she refuses to remember. Darkness presses against Pirar’s walls, patient and watching, while people wait for a savior they do not truly believe will come.

But prophecies lie as easily as people do, and destiny is rarely merciful. To save Pirar, Luna may have to embrace the very thing she fears becoming. Because in a world slipping into endless night, not all light is pure and not all darkness is the enemy.

Seseorang memanggilku dengan keras dari belakang. Tanpa berpikir panjang gue langsung menuju arah suara itu berada. Semakin gue melangkah mendekati suara itu, Suara tersebut semakin datang dari arah mana saja. Gue hanya diam menutup telinga. Bertekuk lutut sambil memejamkan mata. Suara itu menghilang dalam sekejap. Ketika mata ini terbuka sedikit. Ada seseorang yang menunjuk ke arah gue. Lalu dia menghilang. Gue merasa bingung apa maksud seseorang itu menunjuk ke arah gue. Gue melihat sekitar gue, tidak ada siapa siapa. Seketika ada tangan yang menyentuh kepala gue dari depan. Lalu ada suara yang membisik ketika tangan itu bersentuhan dengan kepala gue. "Disini letak kesalahanmu". Sesudah itu tangan yang tak dikenal itu seketika hilang dan melebur dengan angin yang berlalu. Gue hanya terdiam. Lalu bertanya, "Ada apa sebenarnya ini?"

In the bustling modern metropolis, there exists a hidden world unknown to most—vampires are not merely the terrifying creatures of legend. They live quietly in the shadows of human society, indistinguishable from ordinary people yet fundamentally different. Our protagonist, Adrian Light, is one such vampire with a unique identity. He was not born from an ancient curse but was transformed due to an accident, forever caught between the worlds of humans and vampires. Adrian possesses eternal life and extraordinary powers, but these are not gifts he desires; they are chains he cannot break. Adrian tries to find his place in modern society. By day, he is an unassuming librarian, and by night, he becomes the city's guardian, using his abilities to help those in trouble. However, concealing his identity is no easy task. He must remain constantly vigilant to avoid revealing his true nature, especially in his interactions with humans. His friendship with his neighbor, Sarah Miller, deepens over time. Sarah's warmth and kindness allow him to glimpse the light of humanity he thought he had lost, but it also plunges him into deeper conflict—he longs to connect with humans, yet fears his identity will put her in danger. At the same time, Adrian faces threats from within the vampire community. Traditional vampire clans see him as an outcast, believing his closeness to humans violates the ancient laws of their kind. They attempt to drag him back into the darkness, even resorting to violence. Adrian is forced to navigate the precarious space between humans and vampires, striving to protect the human friends he cherishes while fending off hostility from his own kind. In this novel, vampires are no longer the traditional symbols of terror but are imbued with complex humanity. Adrian's inner world is filled with contradictions and struggles: he despises his bloodthirsty instincts but cannot entirely escape them; he yearns to integrate into human society yet knows he can never truly belong. His struggle with identity runs throughout the story, prompting readers to reflect deeply on themes of "self" and "other," "humanity" and "savagery." Through Adrian's perspective, the novel explores universal themes such as loneliness, belonging, and identity in modern society. His story is not just a fantastical adventure about vampires but also a mirror reflecting the confusion and longing within every individual. Adrian's journey is fraught with danger and challenges, but it is also filled with hope and the possibility of redemption. Can he find balance between the worlds of humans and vampires? Can he truly accept himself and discover the meaning of his existence? The answers to these questions will gradually unfold as the story progresses. With its unique perspective, profound emotional depth, and gripping plot, this novel is sure to captivate readers. It is not merely a fantasy about vampires but a profound exploration of humanity, identity, and belonging. Whether you are a fan of fantasy literature or a reader intrigued by themes of human nature, this novel will transport you into a world of contradictions and tensions, inviting you to think and empathize as you read.
