Betrayed and cast out by her organization, Go Chae-won—a legendary former secret agent codenamed "Viper"—is left with nothing. Her new mission is not revenge, but absolute freedom, the kind that can only be bought with an impossible sum of money: one trillion won. Instead of conquering dungeons, she vows to conquer the Hunter economy, applying her elite skills in analysis, strategy, and psychological warfare to the cutthroat world of business.... more>>

Her journey begins from rock bottom in a shabby rooftop apartment, where she meets Yoon Se-ri, an orphaned girl with the unique appraisal ability, [Eyes of Authenticity]. Chae-won sees her as the key to building an empire. However, beneath a sweet and innocent facade, Se-ri is the "Shadow Rose"—a yandere whose possessive love views anyone other than Chae-won as a threat to be silently and ruthlessly eliminated.

"The Viper and Her Shadow Rose" is not a power fantasy of instant success. It is a brutal and realistic business case study, dragging the reader through every authentic trial and failure of building a company from the ground up.

Readers will not just follow a plot; they will learn from and experience:

The Startup Phase: From crafting a business plan with minimal capital to legally incorporating a company.
Operations & Finance: Facing every entrepreneur's nightmare, including cash flow crises, broken supply chains, managing inventory, and navigating tough contract negotiations.
Investment & Growth: Experiencing the sting of total investment losses, the meticulous process of due diligence on potential partners, and the stress of audits by financial regulators.
Management: Learning the challenges of hiring and firing, while dealing with corporate espionage from competitors.
Every one of Chae-won's successes is built on the ashes of painful failures, and every step forward is shadowed by Se-ri's obsession, which serves as both her greatest asset and her most dangerous liability.

Can Chae-won manage her perpetually struggling enterprise while controlling her partner's dark and toxic devotion? Or will her dream retirement fund become a gilded cage, built on a foundation of ruin and an all-consuming Love? <<less

Max never expected reincarnations and transmigrations to be real—but waking up in the body of a young man named Max Knight was definitely never on his to-do list.... more>>

To make things worse, the world he found himself in wasn’t his own, but one filled with heroes and villains—Marvel.

Now trapped in a universe of superheroes, billionaires in flying suits, and shadowy threats lurking behind smiles, Max has to adapt fast.

At least he has some semblance of security, thanks to a strange, semi-transparent screen that occasionally appears before his eyes—offering cryptic assistance, mysterious missions, and rewards he doesn’t fully understand.

But as reality begins to blur and names from other worlds start to echo around him, Max realizes his new life in the Marvel Universe might just be the beginning.

After all, what lies beyond one universe... might just be another adventure waiting to unfold.

SOFIA ROSSI knows the value of appearances.
With hip-length black hair, emerald eyes sharp enough to cut glass, and the grace of a panther, she glides through first-class cabins as a flight attendant—but her true destination is wealth, power, and escape. A master manipulator, she seduces with a smile, disarms with observation, and calculates every move. Her targets? The filthy rich. Her rules? Win at any cost.... more>>

VITTORIO MORETTI isn’t just rich.
He’s Rome’s most feared Mafia Capo. Cold as a stiletto, ruthless as a winter storm, he commands empires built on blood and silence. His dark blue eyes miss nothing. His sculpted beard hides a smile that never reaches his eyes. He trusts no one. Controls everything. And when a viper in a flight attendant’s uniform slithers into his world, he sees her game—and raises the stakes.

THE GAME BEGINS AT 30,000 FEET.
Sofia’s calculated seduction collides with Vittorio’s icy dominance. He gifts her an emerald necklace—a collar disguised as a prize. She enters his gilded world of opulent penthouses, blood-soaked alleyways, and whispered betrayals. But this is no fairy tale. It’s a high-stakes war of wills where every touch is a lie, every kiss a weapon, and every glance could be a death sentence.

BETRAYAL IS IN THE AIR.
As Sofia navigates Vittorio’s lethal inner circle—sadistic rivals, treacherous allies, and shadows with guns—she discovers a terrifying truth: her hunger for power mirrors his own. Obsession ignites. Loyalty blurs. When a rival mafioso insults her, Vittorio doesn’t send flowers.
He sends an assassin.
And forces Sofia to WATCH.

NOW, THE REAL DANGER LANDING...
To survive, Sofia must outmanipulate the master manipulator. But in a world where love is leverage and violence is foreplay, one wrong move means a body dumped in the Tiber. She wanted his fortune. He wants her mind—and her soul. Who’s hunting whom?

In a universe where galaxies are born and extinguished like sparks in a cosmic tide, the fate of one planet is both infinitesimal and monumental.... more>> Earth is dying—not in fire, but in silence. Its skies still shimmer with fading starlight, yet beneath the beauty lies a slow unraveling. Wars have ceased, not from peace, but from exhaustion. Nations no longer rise—they endure. And among the drifting remnants of humanity, a question whispers across generations: What lies at the edge of deep space? Kai Elen, a quiet observer turned reluctant astronaut, never wanted to be a hero. Haunted by dreams of ancient stars and a sky that speaks in echoes, he boards the vessel Aetheris, a deep-space ark bound for the unknown. Their mission is clear: chart the farthest reaches of space in search of a viable future. But what awaits them is neither salvation nor certainty. As the Aetheris crosses the veil of known space, the crew begins to experience time differently—days blur, and memories fade like dying starlight. Signals are received that defy logic. Ghost transmissions from civilizations that never existed. Star systems arranged like coded constellations. And at the center of it all, a gravitational anomaly that seems to pulse with... awareness. With each parsec they drift, Kai confronts not only the external silence of the universe but the deeper, more terrifying quiet within himself. Where does the soul go, when time and identity begin to fracture? Are we merely dust, pretending to matter? Or are we echoes of something greater—something that remembers us, even when we forget ourselves? Dust Beyond the Stars is a philosophical science fiction odyssey that explores the fragility of memory, the illusion of permanence, and the beauty of fleeting lives under an eternal sky. At once intimate and expansive, it invites readers to reflect on the vastness of the cosmos—and the even greater mystery of the human heart. In the end, the stars will fade, the ship will fall silent, and the universe will move on. But perhaps, somewhere at the edge of deep space, something still waits. Watching. Listening. Remembering. <<less

"The system might give us stats, but only we decide how to play this game!"... more>>

In a vibrant, RPG-inspired fantasy world, our protagonist—a guy who’s been through his fair share of hardships—suddenly finds himself running a tavern in a land brimming with danger and opportunity. This tavern isn’t just about serving beer and food; it’s a hotspot for drama, schemes, and unexpected adventures.

He’s no chosen hero. No prophecy ever mentioned his name. All he has is a sharp tongue, a battered system interface that barely listens, and the instincts of someone who survived too much for too long. But maybe that’s enough.

Armed with a broken past and a stubborn streak, he throws himself into building something of his own. Day by day, coin by coin, favor by favor, he hustles to turn his dusty tavern into the beating heart of a chaotic region—where mercenaries trade secrets, mages drink to forget, and monsters sometimes knock twice before entering.

But the tavern isn’t just attracting business. It’s attracting attention. The kind that comes with whispers in dead languages and guests who don’t cast reflections.

Because beneath the clatter of mugs and laughter, something else is waking up. Something old. Something hungry.

And it’s not here for the ale. <<less

The love of my life.... more>>

Maybe too much love—if the numbness in my left arm and the pain in my chest at 32 is any sign.

I had just logged into a game design software to finally start building my first game. Years of playing. Two years of learning. And now... this.

No, I’m not surprised.
I’m 6’4" and 467 pounds.
