      INV 42 Cover
      by mimi Even if they had entered a flashback, they weren't following Gwak Deukcheon's exact flow of thought. It was as if his past was being edited and displayed like a movie. Perhaps that was why the history from before Gwak Deukcheon was born was also being presented alongside it, like archival footage. The scenery, which had started in the Enlightenment period, gradually traced further back in time. The Western influences that had naturally blended in began to vanish, returning to a background where…

      INV 41

      INV 41 Cover
      by mimi Whirrrrrrrrrr! Sirens blared from all directions. It was only natural. There was no way the security system wouldn't activate when a building had been openly half-destroyed. Though it might have modernized lately and lost much of its old-world elegance, this place was the Underworld—the realm that presided over the order of death itself. As such, it was only fitting that they exercised extreme caution regarding security. Just as they had upon Chacha’s appearance, royal guards swarmed from…

      INV 40 Cover
      by mimi "...Mhm. The afterlife operates under the slogan that everyone is equal. It means that while the living divide themselves into ranks, the dead shouldn't do so. For that reason, in principle, the same rule is applied to employment..." "I see. So even a demon can become an underworld Reaper..." Kwon Yihyeon looked at Gwak Deukcheon with genuine wonder at Manager Kang’s explanation, and Gwak Deukcheon tried hard to calm himself by repeatedly slapping his palm against his face. "The stress is going…

      INV 39 Cover
      by mimi 'Why? Why did Gwak Deukcheon do that?' Yesterday, after leaving work, Kwon Yihyeon completely cut off all thoughts about the company. When work and daily life become too fused, a person has nowhere to rest. Kwon Yihyeon wanted to preserve a sanctuary. He wanted to protect his home, at least. However, Kwon Yihyeon has now clocked in, and so, he must ask questions. He has to earn his paycheck, after all. Thus, a mere intern tested a superior of department-head rank. 'Why did you do it, Team…

      INV 38 Cover
      by mimi 'That was the trigger.' The sunbae lightly laughed as she finished her reminiscence and returned to the present. That single, casual remark he threw out had turned her into a professional player. It was a moment where the words she had uttered to instill basic common sense into a novice who had just joined the tennis club came back to save her. At least, that was what the sunbae thought. However, Kwon Yihyeon did not think so. Even if one credited him for fixing her bad habit of collapsing…

      INV 37 Cover
      by mimi And she had a conscience too! “I came to pay my dues voluntarily because student Kwon Yihyeon was captured while I was watching and filming the match. If you do not wish for this, I will delete all the data. However! If you would permit it, would it be alright to utilize this material for a Korea University promotional video?” He had already had quite a few experiences where his face spread across social media without his knowledge because of people snapping photos at school without asking for…

      INV 36 Cover
      by mimi “...Are you, are you saying you want to forfeit right now? It's the finals, and you're saying we should just give up like this without doing anything?" "Control your breathing, I didn't mean it like that..." As he wiped his sweat-soaked neck with the towel handed to him by a club sunbae, his gaze, which remained fixed straight on his partner, was strangely wild, yet incredibly tender. It was enough for anyone nearby to consider him a kind and sweet hoebae comforting a sunbae whose mental state had…

      INV 35

      INV 35 Cover
      by mimi There was an incident where some classmates, who took the elective group project lightly, let Kwon Yihyeon treat them to expensive meals only to vanish one by one, ignoring his messages. The sole remaining hoebae was practically trembling and crying, constantly walking on eggshells around him. It seemed to be because he was a classmate of the peer who had essentially forced Kwon Yihyeon to buy them dinner. The lone hoebae squeezed his eyes shut, bracing himself for the trickle-down discipline, but Kwon…

      INV 34 Cover
      by mimi Kwon Yihyeon, who had managed to fall asleep after 3:00 AM following a bout of lovemaking madness, habitually opened his eyes without an alarm as soon as it hit 6:00 AM. And he was met simultaneously with a mysterious smile and a question from the priest. "Was it good?" "Yes. It was good." For the first time, Kwon Yihyeon was able to answer this question. When he responded with sparkling, clear eyes, Chacha—who looked somewhat haggard—laughed hollowly. "I'm glad, then. At least being…

      INV 33 Cover
      by mimi Resistance is a concept that only exists when one defies. However, although Chacha might faint from the excessive pleasure, he didn't feel like defying Kwon Yihyeon's lovemaking at all. No one had ever been able to wield him at will, but that was no longer the case. Even that was Chacha's choice. Chacha had precisely chosen Kwon Yihyeon and handed him the authority to shake him. Pulling back now was something that wouldn't save the face of a monster who had lived for over ten thousand years. Chacha…
