#narkik

After struggling to survive in this unfamiliar place, he finally encountered a familiar face.

The very first thought that crossed his mind was… to sink his teeth into her leg!

But after biting her, something unexpected happened — he turned back into his human form.

The woman looked at him in surprise, then grinned mischievously.

“Hey, handsome. You bit me pretty hard… how about taking responsibility for it by giving yourself to me?”

*

Excerpt:

“Hey, why do you want to marry me?”

“Too troublesome.”

“You mean I’m troublesome?”

“No. I am.”

2. The Clumsy Secretary

I transmigrated into a novel and became the secretary of a CEO.

The system told me that the male and female leads of the story had encountered an accident that prevented them from being together, and as a result, the entire world was doomed to collapse.

My mission is to act as the catalyst to bring the male and female leads together. The reward is that I have a chance to come back to my previous world.

Simple enough, right?

Except… the system crashed right after telling me the heroine’s name.

So now I had to figure out who the male lead was on my own.

After a thousand deductions, I finally came to the conclusion that the male lead must be my boss.

He’s handsome, rich, talented, and cold-faced like an iceberg that hasn’t melted in ten thousand years.

If he’s not the male lead, then who else could it be?!

And so…

I used every trick in the books I read to set him up with the heroine — “accidental” meetings, friendly hangouts, dinners, even surprise gifts. I poured my heart and soul into matchmaking them…

Only to fail. Every. Single. Time.

Then one day, I saw the heroine holding hands with my boss’s younger brother, and the system suddenly pinged: “Mission complete.”

I was utterly speechless.

So my boss… wasn’t the male lead?!

*

Excerpt:

“Boss, where’s Miss Kagome?”

“Why do you ask about Kagome?”

“Why not? This dinner was supposed to be for you and her, wasn’t it?”

“…” Wait, what? I thought this dinner was for the two of us?

3. The Wind Returns

Kagura was dead.

Corroded by Naraku’s miasma — she died.

Then she encountered a system.

It asked her, “Do you want to revenge?”

She did.

The system granted her the ability to travel across different worlds.

In each world, she must find and kill Naraku.

If she succeeds in every world, she will be reborn.

Kagura smiled in acceptance.

“Naraku, this time… I’ll be the one to send you to hell.”

*

He began to have strange dreams.

He found himself in unfamiliar worlds — places he didn’t recognize, doing things he had never done before.

Especially when that woman was beside him.

He didn’t understand.

Not until the moment she appeared before him again, her familiar scent filling the air — only then did he realize that he wasn’t dreaming at all.

She had returned.

*

Excerpt:

Her hands wrapped around his neck.

Golden eyes locked with her ruby gaze as he slid an arm around her waist, pulling her closer.

She smiled at him — confident, defiant, dazzling.

“Do you believe in me?”

His voice came low and hoarse, like a promise carved in stone.

“I’ll be waiting for you to come back victorious.”

4. The Souls

Reincarnation? Fine.

But why did it have to come with body swaps?!

A demoness, a demon slayer, and a young priestess — all tangled together in shared misery.

Well, things have gone this far…

There’s only one person left to call for help.

Sesshomaru, save us!

*

Excerpt 1:

“Everyone, come here! There’s something in this well!”

Everyone except Sesshomaru rushed toward Kagome, who stood trembling beside the old, abandoned village well.

Kagura caught a stifling stench — dry heat mixed with decay, the unmistakable odor of death… yet somehow, not quite.

The smell was disturbingly familiar, as though she had sensed it before…

Suddenly, something greenish and shriveled shot out from the well, lunging straight at Kagome.

The priestess screamed, stumbling backward in panic.

“It’s a zombie! Really a zombie!”

*

Excerpt 2:

“Splendid. I didn’t expect to capture a soul from another world.”

“What are you, I wonder? You have no demonic aura, no spiritual power. You resemble a human, yet wield the energy of wind. No matter… I shall give you a part of my body. From now on, you will be a demon.”

“And your name will be… Kagura.”

*

Excerpt 3:

“Kohaku, do you remember the time I was in your body? The first day I woke up, I looked down and realized I’d turned into a boy…”

The young slayer quickly clapped a hand over the girl's mouth, his face bright red.

“I promised, didn’t I? I’ll take responsibility! Just stop talking about it!”

*

Excerpt 4:

“What did you say? She thinks I’m not worthy of her son?” Kagura slammed the table and stood up, fuming. “Oh really? Should I remind her that with just one wave, I could send an army of zombies to her castle?”

Sesshomaru said nothing, merely reached behind her and gave a quiet, reassuring pat.

Kohaku swallowed hard as he looked at the wind demoness — no, the queen of the zombies now.

“Just misunderstanding! Total misunderstanding!”

Those zombie soldiers might not be strong… but there sure were a lot of them. And they were very annoying.

5. Naraku’s Kids

Naraku Onigumo had a pair of twins.

He found them… under a bridge.

*

Excerpt 1:

“Dad!”

The two kids clung to Naraku’s legs and refused to let go.

Naraku wasn’t bothered by how they stuck to him — he was bothered that they kept calling him Dad!

He wasn’t their father!

And he was only nineteen — too young to have kids this big!

“Oh my, my dear son,” his mother gasped, beaming at the three of them. “Where on earth did you go fooling around to end up bringing home two children?”

“I didn’t!” Naraku shouted helplessly. He had to take these two troublemakers to the police station and find their real parents, no matter what!

*

Excerpt 2:

Naraku’s ears turned red as he looked at Kikyo. He let out a shaky breath and stammered,

“Kikyo, would you maybe—”

“Dad! I heard you were at the office—”

Byakuya burst into the room like it was his own house. The boy froze when he saw the two adults staring back at him, mouth agape.

You little brat! Naraku cursed silently. You just ruined your old man’s moment!

Then he saw Kikyo’s shocked — and slightly angry — expression. Panic hit him like lightning.

Oh no. He’d forgotten to tell her he already had two adopted kids!

*

Excerpt 3:

Naraku eyed the two Tashio boys standing before him.

He had promised Kikyo he would babysit them for the day.

Five-year-old Inuyasha was loud, wild, and a complete headache.

Nine-year-old Sesshomaru was quieter and more obedient — Naraku liked him much better.

At least, he thought so.

Until that quiet boy grabbed the hand of Naraku’s seven-year-old daughter and declared,

“When I grow up, I’m going to marry Kagura. You can’t keep her forever, Uncle Naraku.”

Obedient? Polite? Fuck!

Forget it — now!

7. Wind Dance

His soulmate was a dancer.

But now… she could no longer dance.

That was all right.

If she couldn’t dance — then he would help her dance.

For her,

and for himself.

*

Excerpt 1:

Rising onto her toes, Kagura moved slowly to the rhythm.

Every muscle in her body strained like a drawn bowstring.

A sharp current shot up from her legs to her spine, and pain flooded her mind.

She bit her lip until it bled — yet she kept moving.

Before the song had even reached a quarter of its length, Kagura collapsed.

Tears spilled down her cheeks.

She couldn’t dance.

The salty mix of blood and tears made her tremble.

She curled into herself as the cheerful melody continued to play, mocking her helplessness.

She couldn’t dance.

Burying her face against her knees, she sobbed softly…

and eventually drifted into sleep.

*

Excerpt 2:

He reached out and brushed her cheek — gentle as a passing breeze.

She looked up at him, tears still streaming down.

“I ruined your party.”

“It’s all right,” he said. “It’s just one dance. There’ll be another time — you can dance with me then.”

She froze. Her lips pressed together.

Another time?

There might never be another time.
