    Summary

    At first, Chul thinks he’s hallucinating—that maybe he’s stared so long into the darkness that his brain has started making up shapes. Where does the darkness end? Where does it begin? The shadows have come to life, some of them vaguely human-shaped, while the rest of them are hauntingly identical to the corpses of the bears around them, standing over each bloody body, undulating, eyes foxfire blue. They move like they’re breathing, but there’s no condensation of breath where it should be.

    And Sung stands in the middle of them all with a blood-stained dagger in one hand and a bear’s carcass in the other—

    Chul’s stomach sours as their gazes meet. 

    That is the face of a predator’s predator. Holding the ice bear like that—teeth buried deep in its throat, eyes black again, irises frost-blue, pupils dilated, with blood smeared over his chin, mouth, and nose—it’s hard to tell which is man and which is beast.

    In which hordes of snowscape-dwelling monsters are trapped in a gate with Ashborne's cursed human (?) vessel. (And magic beast blood tastes absolutely disgusting.)

    Summary

    Jinwoo appears while Tywin was standing in the middle of the ocean. Misunderstandings happen. The term Godfather isn't a thing in Westeros. Well, now it is--somewhat.

    Summary

    Long before the Absolute Being died, he sealed his only child in a coffin and put to an eternal sleep. After centuries of slumber, through his own will, he re-awakened his child for the third time. You.

    Now, the gates to other realms have opened. Through your power and abilities, you were able to fight them all even the S-ranked dungeons. The Hunter Association's head deemed you worthy of SSS rank and wanted you to be a full time hunter.

    You refused, you wanted a more peaceful life as a doctor, and hid your true rank that was even higher than the current nine S ranks. The same boy who you see frequently in the hospital, was now the 10th S ranked hunter. And you caught his eye, unknowingly.

    But he wasn’t the only one.

    Will you finally wake up from the dream and accept your fate, your highness?

    Summary

    Un futuro incerto, sconosciuto, insidioso. La scelta di dare fiducia a qualcun altro, al di là di sé stessi e delle vecchie ferite mai rimarginate. Un legame inatteso che cambia le regole del gioco, che porta su nuovi percorsi. Che fa soffrire e crescere. Poi, una fine che potrebbe anche essere un nuovo inizio.

    Summary

    Waking up in the hospital sucks.

    Waking up in the hospital after being abandoned by almost all of your strike team in an S+-Rank Double Dungeon sucks even more.

    Waking up in the hospital after being abandoned by nearly all of your strike team in a Double Dungeon to a giant glowing blue screen that only you can see... is confusing.

    Welcome to Jin-Woo’s life. The weirdness of the world just got even weirder than ever for him.

    ...

    At least he doesn’t have to worry about rent anymore. That’s good at least? Right?

    Summary

    No curse. No younger aura. No human presence. It was…
    “A firefly on steroids,” Satoru murmured with a crooked smile.
    A bright glow amidst the many dim lights that made up this world. Whatever was flaring up there in the distance wasn’t just powerful—it was unique. Different. In a way that almost knocked his Six Eyes out of balance.

    He grinned. “Now you’ve got me curious, bug.”

    - 滞在する -

    While awaiting his liberation from the sealing, Satoru is thrust into another dimension. Life there seems fun in a similar way to his (meaning there are things here trying to decimate humanity), except it is also vastly different (meaning the people there suck!).
    And then there‘s also that one dark-haired gloomy dude that doesn‘t leave him alone (and also doesn‘t ever leave his mind either, ugh).

     

    Or: At this rate most likely a trillion chapters of bi-disaster Sung Jinwoo pining for and simultaneously hating the enigma that is Gojo Satoru.

    Summary

    We all know how the story started. Izuku Midoriya was born Quirkless, but became the inheritor of One for All after All Might saw in him the potential to become the greatest hero the world had ever known. But in this version of My Hero Academia, the world was not only plagued by the rise of supervillains, but also by the devastation caused by Gates, magical portals leading into Dungeons, realms filled with monstrous beasts and monsters that humanity had combated against for decades with the Pro Heroes themselves standing at the forefront.

    And thus, on the same day that Izuku Midoriya inherited One for All, his story took a different turn when he pushed himself past his limits in a desperate attempt to save civilians from monsters of a sudden, unusual Dungeon Break. Waking up on hospital bed several days later, the first thing he saw was a strange blue window that only he could see hovered before his eyes, informing him that he had met all the requirements needed to pursue the secret quest [Courage of the Weak] as the Player of the System.

    Summary

    A collection of moments erased by fate, of memories that never fully disappeared…
    and of scenes that never happened, but feel like they should have.
    Between broken timelines, lingering gazes, and a love that refuses to fade,
    Jinwoo and Haein learn that even when the world resets…
    some feelings are simply too strong to vanish.

    Summary

    The morning after the day he was killed by his girlfriend, Issei woke up and saw two things. First was Rias Gremory sleeping next to him in his bed, and second was a floating blue window congratulating him on becoming The Player and telling him to go work out as a daily quest. It seems being reincarnated as a devil had unlocked more than just Boosted Gear...

    Summary

    Eleanor Potter has led many lives since her first death in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts.
    Most of them had been rather strange—either because of her own rather questionable life choices, or because the world she'd been reborn in that time around had been inherently strange. By now, she was used to every new life being different in ways she could have never even imagined before.
    Her new lives were always weird.
    This time, though... Eleanor (now Sung Jin-Woo) really could have done without Fate outdoing herself. Really. Seriously, fuck this whole Soulmate business!

    Summary

    Where a dramatic shadow ant is obsessed with Shakespeare, the world is spiraling into the biggest shit you can imagine, and Jinwoo has more complexes than a skyscraper.

    Nico isn’t sure if he can absorb everyone’s collective bullshit without turning into a puddle of sentient ink. Percy is still impossibly sarcastic (even while the universe is literally dissolving), and Leo is… well, Leo is still a walking OSHA violation.

    Read this completely nonsensical crossover and find out what’s actually hidden in Jinwoo’s private fanfiction folder. (Spoiler: Jinchul knows, and he’s one cup of coffee away from a total mental breakdown.)

    Enjoy this mess! <3

    Summary

    Sung Jin-Woo wasn't exactly sure how he ended up in this situation, well no, that wasn't true. He knew how he ended up in this situation.

    He just hadn't expected to end up getting pregnant from a one-night stand- that actually ended up being multiple nights- with a handsome stranger while on holiday in China.

     

    After that, things had just gotten more and more chaotic and out of his control.

    So really, who could blame him for not realising that said handsome stranger was actually an extremely strong and powerful international-level hunter? (And that that hunter had been almost madly searching for him.)

     

    This story is ABO, but it isn't all that important for the story, it's mostly just to explain the mpreg and the soulmate/fated mate thing.

    Summary

    (Formerly known as Two Sides of the Coin)

    Shadow and Light, creation and destruction.

    Two halves of a balance barely understood.

    To them, though, there is no need for explaining.

    They simply are.

    Brothers in everything but blood, standing together at the bottom of the food chain, their loyalty to one another unquestioned, and unbreakable.

    Even after the double dungeon incident, and when the System chose them, their bond does not waver.

    It evolves, becoming deeper, less understood, more devoted, and deadlier.

    Because the System was not designed to make mistakes. Sung Jinwoo was chosen to become the Shadow Monarch, and Lee Min-jae was chosen to be the Ruler of Light.

    They bow to no one else, they kneel only to each other. They are meant to create balance, and destroy those foolish enough to threaten them and their family.

    Summary

    Jin-Woo has faced countless monsters, kings, and gods—but never a mission like this.

    The System gives him a simple command: eliminate a Monarch.

    Not just any Monarch, but a forgotten one—the Monarch of Light. A being whose power rivals Jin-Woo’s own, standing as his perfect opposite… and, in some ways, his reflection.

    There’s just one problem.

    The Monarch of Light doesn’t know he exists.

    Instead, he lives as an ordinary civilian—unaware of the power sleeping inside him, unaware of the danger he poses, unaware that he’s been marked for death.

    Caught between duty and doubt, Jin-Woo is forced to make a choice: follow the System and destroy a potential threat before it awakens… or protect an innocent man who has done nothing wrong.

    But the longer he stays, the harder that choice becomes.

    And the more the line between enemy and something else begins to blur.
