***** "And the kiss last night?" he asked, stepping closer until she could feel the warmth of him so near. Katrina clutched the roses, heart pounding, feeling the butterflies rising in her. His eyes held her, intense and filled with an emotion she couldn't name. "I don't regret it," he murmured. "I meant every bit of it, and I'd love to—" Katrina didn't let him finish.

“A rare female from Earth!” the host announced excitedly. “With a high compatibility rate! Let the bidding begin!” No one in the crowd cared about the fear in her eyes. To them, she was nothing more than a valuable commodity. Yet even Ye Ning herself did not understand how she had ended up there. Just a day ago, she had been an ordinary first-year university student…an orphan living a quiet, unremarkable life. While cleaning her small dorm room, she had discovered a strange locket hidden among her belongings. The moment she tried to open it… everything went black. When she regained consciousness, she was already on that auction stage. Her next memory was waking up again, this time to two strikingly handsome men staring down at her with curious expressions. But the moment she noticed their twitching ears and sharp fangs, fear overwhelmed her. She screamed… and fainted once more. Those two men were brothers and they had bought her. They were beastmen, inhabitants of a harsh and primitive world. In this land, survival was a daily struggle. People dug into the earth for water, and ate mud mixed with grass to stave off hunger. For Ye Ning, it was a world completely unlike anything she had ever known. But her strange fate did not end there. The locket she had found was no ordinary object…it was a key. A gateway to the Nexus Bazaar, a vast interdimensional marketplace that connected countless worlds. Within it, demons, beasts, spirits, shadows, and countless other mysterious beings gathered to trade goods, power, and secrets. But all Ye Ning ever wanted was a peaceful life. Yet in front of her… The two brothers lowered their ears, their tails drooping, eyes soft and pleading like abandoned puppies. “Wife… don’t leave us,” one of them murmured in a pitiful voice. “We don’t have anyone else in this world besides you…” the other added, looking as if the world would end if she walked away. Ye Ning: “…You bought me at an auction.” ~ Then came the second problem, a fallen demon noble. He was cold, arrogant, and covered in blood when she first found him. She had only helped him out of basic human decency…nothing more. Now? “You saved me,” he said, his dark eyes locking onto hers with dangerous intensity. “I have nowhere left to go.” “You will take responsibility for me.” Ye Ning: “…Did I sign a contract I don’t remember?” ~ And as if that wasn’t enough…a wizard from an unknown world appeared in the Nexus Bazaar. He studied her like she was some rare treasure before smiling faintly. “Female,” he said, as if making a grand discovery. “You’ve caught my interest.” “Why don’t you belong to me? I can give you everything… even the world itself.” Ye Ning: “..?”

The once renowned Seoul Philharmonic Symphony is in distress and losing musicians before Seo Jaemin, an unknown beta conductor with a murky past, steps in to help them rebuild their glory together with his career in the cutthroat, alpha-dominated world of classical music. As First Chair, the commanding alpha Kang Do-hyun resists the new leadership, refusing to submit to a beta, although he notices himself being drawn to Jaemin, a pull he can’t explain. But Jaemin is hiding a secret that would shatter his fragile professional facade: he's not a beta at all, but an omega, whose scent is now a painful echo of a failed bond—a betrayal that haunts his every move. When Do-hyun discovers Jaemin’s true nature, his unexplained attraction spirals into a fierce, protective obsession. Consumed by an alpha's fury for the one who broke Jaemin, Do-hyun must decide if he can truly save the omega he’s dying to claim. ----- [Excerpt] Jaemin’s hair was a mess of soft, dark honey curls, his clothes from the concert rumpled and clinging to his slender frame. Do-hyun hadn’t dared to undress him. After the omega had fallen asleep, the floral scent had flared, unleashed from the tight grip Jaemin kept on it when he was conscious. Barely a minute later, Do-hyun had to rally every ounce of self-control from within to extract himself from the bed and stumble out of the room, before his alpha instincts could take over and greedily claim everything that was being offered freely to him. Now, Jaemin stood swaying slightly in front of him, his amber eyes half-lidded, a hazy, dreamy glaze coating them like a thin film. His cheeks were flushed a soft rose, and his mouth, a little open, seemed to be waiting for something. "Jaemin," Do-hyun managed, his voice thick and low. "Are you okay? Do you need something? You can't be walking around like this." Jaemin didn't seem to hear him. He took another step forward, and his scent slammed into Do-hyun’s senses, shredding through his safety shield of medicated eucalyptus—the intoxicating cherry blossoms, now so strong they stung his eyes. Lifting a hand to Do-hyun’s chest, Jaemin looked up at him, head tilted, hazy eyes searching Do-hyun’s face as if looking for something in the depths of his soul. Then he spoke, the single word a soft, breathless whisper: "Alpha."

"Wanita langka dari Bumi!" sang pembawa acara mengumumkan dengan penuh semangat. "Dengan tingkat kompatibilitas yang tinggi! Mari mulai penawarannya!" Tidak ada seorang pun di antara kerumunan yang peduli dengan rasa takut di matanya. Bagi mereka, ia tidak lebih dari sekadar barang berharga. Namun bahkan Ye Ning sendiri tidak mengerti bagaimana ia bisa berakhir di sana. Hanya sehari yang lalu, ia adalah mahasiswi tingkat pertama yang biasa-biasa saja…seorang yatim piatu yang menjalani kehidupan tenang dan tidak mencolok. Saat membersihkan kamar asramanya yang kecil, ia menemukan sebuah liontin aneh yang tersembunyi di antara barang-barangnya. Saat ia mencoba membukanya… semuanya menjadi gelap. Ketika ia kembali sadar, ia sudah berada di atas panggung lelang itu. Ingatannya berikutnya adalah terbangun kembali, kali ini dengan dua pria tampan yang menatapnya dengan ekspresi penuh rasa ingin tahu. Namun begitu ia menyadari telinga mereka yang bergerak-gerak dan taring tajam mereka, rasa takut menguasainya. Ia berteriak… dan pingsan sekali lagi. Kedua pria itu adalah saudara kandung dan mereka telah membelinya. Mereka adalah manusia-binatang, penghuni dunia yang keras dan primitif. Di tanah ini, bertahan hidup adalah perjuangan sehari-hari. Orang-orang menggali tanah untuk mendapatkan air, dan memakan lumpur yang dicampur rumput untuk mengganjal rasa lapar. Bagi Ye Ning, ini adalah dunia yang sama sekali berbeda dari apa pun yang pernah ia kenal. Namun takdirnya yang aneh tidak berhenti di sana. Liontin yang ia temukan bukanlah benda biasa…itu adalah sebuah kunci. Sebuah gerbang menuju Bazar Nexus, sebuah pasar antardimensi yang luas yang menghubungkan tak terhitung banyaknya dunia. Di dalamnya, para iblis, binatang, roh, bayangan, dan makhluk-makhluk misterius lainnya berkumpul untuk memperdagangkan barang, kekuatan, dan rahasia. Namun yang selalu diinginkan Ye Ning hanyalah kehidupan yang damai. Namun di hadapannya… Kedua saudara itu merendahkan telinga mereka, ekor mereka terkulai, mata mereka lembut dan memohon seperti anak anjing yang ditinggalkan. "Istri… jangan tinggalkan kami," salah satu dari mereka bergumam dengan suara memelas. "Kami tidak punya siapa-siapa lagi di dunia ini selain kamu…" yang lain menambahkan, tampak seolah dunia akan berakhir jika ia pergi. Ye Ning: "…Kamu membeliku di lelang." ~ Kemudian datanglah masalah kedua, seorang bangsawan iblis yang telah jatuh. Ia dingin, sombong, dan berlumuran darah ketika ia pertama kali menemukannya. Ia hanya membantunya karena rasa kemanusiaan yang mendasar…tidak lebih dari itu. Sekarang? "Kamu menyelamatkanku," katanya, matanya yang gelap mengunci pandangannya dengan intensitas yang berbahaya. "Aku tidak punya tempat lagi untuk pergi." "Kamu akan bertanggung jawab atasku." Ye Ning: "…Apakah aku menandatangani kontrak yang tidak aku ingat?" ~ Dan seolah itu belum cukup…seorang penyihir dari dunia yang tidak dikenal muncul di Bazar Nexus. Ia mempelajarinya seolah ia adalah harta langka sebelum tersenyum tipis. "Wanita," katanya, seolah membuat penemuan besar. "Kamu telah menarik minatku." "Mengapa kamu tidak menjadi milikku? Aku bisa memberikanmu segalanya… bahkan dunia itu sendiri." Ye Ning: "..?"

It was only last year that I realized that the world I had been reincarnated into was the world of the Romantic Comedy book. What's worse, the person I had reincarnated as was someone featured in the book. A running gag character who the Main Characters ran into at the most random times, of no use, and who would disappear as quickly as he appeared—an Extra C. Last year. A year before starting High School. It was already too late. Extra C had already become...
