      IDSTD 02 Cover
      by Carl Johnson — Chapter 2... Perfect Parent (1) Was there any reason for an alternate event to intrude upon a dream meant for reliving a life's regrets? A sense of dissonance washed over him. It was only natural, considering Jungwoo's original aptitude wasn't some strange ability like this. I was a decent Lancer. A D-Rank aptitude: Decent Lancer. It was an aptitude that provided an edge in any action involving a spear, and through training, he had developed it into the C-Rank Experienced Lancer. Yet now, it said…

      by Carl Johnson — Chapter 1... Failed Parenting The implications of an 18-year-old orphan having a child are pretty self-evident: a life that was already dirt-poor is about to get a whole lot harder. There were really only two options. Abandon the baby at an orphanage to relive the exact same childhood he suffered through, or take the plunge and try his best to be a parent without worrying about the fallout. The mother chose the former. But Jungwoo, the father, chose the latter. Having grown up as an orphan himself, he…

In a fleeting moment of less than a minute, he silently assessed everything—the location's real estate value, customer traffic flow, potential for expanding the interior, the cafe's brand concept, how long customers stayed, the density of the surrounding commercial district, the amount of foot traffic, and so on. The…

      by Ember heart — Chapter 98   Used-Hand Trading Got Me 30,000 Coins  Rest (4) After greeting Choi Hyuk, Yoo-jin sat down. She glanced at Si-yoon again, and her eyes changed with a very subtle sparkle. It was the sharp instinct unique to a friend of ten years. Si-yoon had come to a quiet Jeju Island cafe early in the morning, alone with the CEO of her agency? On top of that, there was the pink-colored tension flowing between the two of them, something that could be felt without either of them saying a…

      by Ember heart — Chapter 97 Chapter 29. Rest (3) The two of them walked slowly along the coastal promenade as the cold wind hit their faces. It was only when the sun began to show its red head little by little above the horizon and brighten the world that they finally returned to their accommodation. The early morning light coming through the wide folding glass doors dyed the marble floor of the living room a cool, pale blue. As soon as Siyoon entered through the front door, she rubbed both hands together and blew…

In front of the carousel, where countless people were tangled together, Siyoon pressed herself tightly against a pillar, trying to make herself as small as possible. A black bucket hat. A large mask covering more than half of her face. A loose hoodie and even a pair of worn-out sneakers. She thought her disguise was perfect, but there was one problem—the aura that…

      by Ember heart — Chapter 95 Rest (1) For the past few days, Choi Hyuk had been on a grueling schedule, traveling around various regional hubs with key figures from CH to inspect the sites for the government-led logistics project. Busan, Chungnam, Gyeonggi Province, Incheon, and so on. There was hardly a place they had not visited. No, there was still one place they had not visited. It was late at night. Choi Hyuk had briefly let his exhausted body relax when Chief Park Seong-do's words suddenly made him…

The aroma of the high-quality tea leaves first tickled the tip of his nose, and then the bitterness that followed wrapped around the root of his tongue before sliding down his throat. The words exchanged between Choi Hyuk and Choi Yeon-wook were not some light suggestion about simply “adding a few more clauses to the…

      by Ember heart — Chapter 93   Attention (2) That night, when Seo Doo-hyun's election had become “certain.” The tense atmosphere that had weighed down the top-floor conference room at CH Headquarters did not ease for quite some time, even after the broadcasting station's graphic stamped the words “Election Certain” in red. As the boring congratulatory speeches and signing ceremony continued, and the event passed its halfway point, Seo Doo-hyun signaled to his secretary to draw the reporters' attention…

      by Ember heart — Chapter 92 Attention (1) That night, when Seo Doo-hyun's election was confirmed as ‘certain.’ Even after the words ‘Election Confirmed’ appeared in red on the broadcasters' graphics, the tense atmosphere that had weighed down the top-floor conference room at CH headquarters did not disappear for a long time. Even though the thread of tension that had been choking them finally snapped with a sharp tack, what remained in the room was not a cheer of victory. Instead, there was a strange…
