By day, Joon-ho runs a discreet, high-end massage clinic in Seoul, specializing in pain relief and body alignment. But behind the soundproof doors, his true gift lies in reading the deepest cravings of the women who walk through his door—and giving their bodies exactly what they need. From overworked executives to national celebrities, no woman leaves untouched—or unchanged. When Harin, his former campus crush turned office worker, reenters his life, one night of pleasure turns into something far more dangerous: connection, obsession, and a partnership that blurs every boundary between business, pleasure, and possession. Now, she’s not just in his bed. She’s in his clinic. His lap. His world. And she wants to watch everything.

'Kill monsters, eat meat' 'I mean, Kill monsters, save lives. Got it.' 'Tut, I could've sworn that the first one sounded better.' She wasn't a girl looking for freedom or self-righteous liberation by a hero, or whatever shit a girl who suffered for almost all her life would crave. -the shit of a life she was living was horrible, but it was bearable, and so she got used to it. Rather, instead of freedom, what this little missy wanted was money. Lots and lots of them so she never has to worry about the next day. Money - bountiful enough that when she has to spend, she doesn't need to look back or calculate her assets to see how much she has left. Money - bountiful enough to get all the fried chicken she could ever dream of. Yeah, you heard it, fried chicken. For those who did not have money to spare leisurely, getting fried chicken was like a pipe dream to them and she had been one of those unfortunate souls. A comfortable roof above her head and no worries as to when she would get ordered around to steal. No worries about when she would get her next meal-- That was her liberation. And she got it. Just that, she got it most absurdly. Awakened! Those were the people ruling the world, alongside beastly and deadly monsters who threatened the safety of average human beings. And those awakened call the shots. Alice never dreamed she would one day be awakened, and compared to others with their game-like system displaying their attributes and strength; she had a full-grown man whom only she could hear, watching her back at every turn and telling her what to do. He was kinda a pain in the ass but she couldn't complain. It was this gift he had bestowed on her that made her the most powerful Awakened there was with stats that even S-class awakeneds couldn't compare to. She was the boss, now. Mwa-hahahahaha. But life didn't go as easy and leisurely as she planned. With great power comes great responsibility, right? Well, in her case with great power comes great hunger. She couldn't go a moment without getting hungry and her stomach had become a bottomless pit. And to get food, she needed money, and to get money, she had to hunt monsters. The monsters plagued humanity, causing catastrophes and taking lives mercilessly. Those monsters, as scary as they may be, were her target and she had to face them head-on. The bigger the monsters the more money she would gain. Yeah, that was the plan, but... This guy acting as her system seemed to have other plans, putting her at the forefront of 'justice' and having her clean the mess he somewhat created. 'Ugh, I can already sense a shadow of foreboding. Someone, please tell me I'm not acting the main character role. I just want to eat, okay?'

Em Null, a energia do caos decide tudo. Os fortes governam. Os fracos se ajoelham. E os inúteis são descartados como lixo. Sekhmet Dawn deveria morrer como um sacrifício. Em vez disso, ele engoliu um fragmento congelado de sangue proibido e despertou algo impossível. Um Sistema de Sangue oculto. A vontade de um Deus do Sangue morto tentou roubar seu corpo. O pingente misterioso de sua mãe se estilhaçou e se transformou em um artefato de classe Abismo. E em uma noite, Sekhmet passou de presa a um pesadelo crescente. Agora ele pode se tornar mais forte bebendo sangue. Inimigos não são mais apenas inimigos. Eles são seu alimento. Uma forma de ganhar mais poder. Um degrau em seu caminho.

A poderosa família Antiga que arruinou a vida de seu pai finalmente o notou. E quanto mais sangue ele toma, mais perto chega de uma verdade aterrorizante sobre si mesmo. Ele não é normal. Ele nunca foi normal. E a coisa crescendo dentro dele pode ser muito mais perigosa do que qualquer um possa imaginar. Caçado pelos poderosos de Null. Alvo de casas nobres. Cercado por mulheres lindas e mortais que o querem. Arrastado para guerras de linhagem, política familiar e segredos antigos. Sekhmet tem apenas um caminho a seguir. Beber Sangue para ficar mais forte. Esmagar qualquer um que fique em seu caminho. Porque em Null, misericórdia é fraqueza. E o garoto destinado ao altar pode se tornar o próximo deus do sangue a abalar o Salão dos Deuses. Eles queriam um sacrifício. Em vez disso, criaram um monstro. (Outro Nome: Senhor do Sangue)

She came back to destroy him. She didn't plan on remembering why she loved him. Fifteen years ago, Isabella Gomez was erased—cast out of the Ashford estate with nothing but a borrowed name and a promise she made to herself in the dark. Now she's Aurora Castillo: tech mogul, untouchable CEO, and the last person Liam Ashford would ever suspect. He's spent fifteen years looking for the girl he failed. He doesn't know she's already found him. Every smile is calculated. Every conversation is a move. And every moment she lets herself feel something real is a threat to everything she's built. How do you finish destroying someone when you're the one falling apart? Decoding Aurora is not your typical billionaire romance. It is a story built on dramatic irony—where every smile has a second meaning, every alliance has a hidden cost, and the most dangerous thing a character can say is the truth, because no one is listening for it. Words mean the opposite of what they appear to mean. Kindness is a weapon. Patience is a strategy. And the most honest moment in any room is the one nobody else is meant to see. This is a world where everyone wants something, everyone is moving toward it, and nobody is showing their hand. Where deception and manipulation are not the exceptions—they are the rules of engagement. Where the line between revenge and feeling is thinner than it should be, and crossing it has consequences nobody planned for. Read carefully. The subtext is where the real story lives.

Hired as Roy’s new physical therapist, she’s determined to do what no one else could—help him heal, whether he wants it or not. From the moment they meet, they clash. He sees her as an unwanted intrusion. She sees him as a disaster waiting to happen. But as tempers flare and walls begin to crack, what starts as resentment turns into something far more dangerous. Because the closer Layla gets to the truth behind Roy’s anger, the more she risks losing herself in it.
