JinChul beloved

Istg i will write this fic myself- With all honesty, i really like the thought of Woo Jin-chul working to the point of beyond exhaustion, being in his headspace while working and not noticing the time AT ALL.

Like you know those times where you are doing something and really focused on them you didnt realise it has been hours?

But in Jin-Chul case, this might be unrealistic but he's been working for 𝘥𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘥. His substance are powered by coffee. Gallons of them at this point probably.

Promtly then snapping out of trance as he realise his body weaken. Like, tired kind of weak where youre muscles feels like jelly and stuff.

then Go Gunhee came into the office after another worker decided its probably a good idea to let the Chairman knows of his right hand man's situation.

I'm sure Gunhee is a busy man but he could always spare some time to do something else. And SOOOOO.

Gunhee took matters into HIS own hands. That being carrying the half-conscious Jin-Chul and manhadles him into bed in Jinchul's apartment.

And man does it look 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘤. Its clean and all but the food- Fridge is empty asf and even cupboards!

Gunhee is aware about Jin-Chul staying in his office often and stays there at most time, though it never till the point he worked into passing out. Jin-Chul ate yes but only a good few bites before he stores them back into the office's fridge and going back to work.

So, Gunhee personaly, 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘺 takes care of Jin-Chul. Like ordering food and suplements. Most food are not to heavy for the stomach too due to Gunhee worrying it'll do Jin-Chul no good at all.

Though after a good meal and chat with Gunhee, Jin-chul fell asleep for 𝙛𝙪𝙘𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙙𝙖𝙮𝙨.

Lets say four or three. Just sleeping there with occasional and really short time of him waking up to take a drink or bathroom break. Before plopping into bed knowing the chairman visit him in the evenings making sure of things are okay and dandy.

that said, Gunhee worries for the young man's health. Sleeping for days? Isnt that an anomaly by now? Though the healer says everything fine other then immense amount of fatigue and the lack of nutrients.

In the end things turns out fine, JinChul and Gunhee had a talk about the situation. Jinchul assures its fine and he'll try to take care of himself better.

Which spoiler alert, it happened again. Few times each year.

So Gunhee isnt suprised when someone calls him in for help.

Im gonna write this istg i will. The plot gon be where someone ask for Gunhee's help.

Cause JinChul beloved just passes out and they are all confused on what tf to do with it.

Crying and kicking the air- IGRISSSSSSS😭😭😭

igris being cute 🫶🏽

i am such a god damn sucker for these- Nah Jinwoo, you aint the only one😩

I love the gay panic moments Jinwoo has in the novel every time Igris speaks because his voice is just THAT SEXY!!

Thomas's Shirt

I was just walking by peacefully before i did a double take on this shirt.

And then Thomas just popped up and i thought yeah, i can really, 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 see and imagine Thomas wearing this shirt

AND THEN THIS SHIRT WAS BEHIND IT. Yall can't tell me it doesnt looked like the shirt Thomas was wearing in the manhwa(ps. Im going by memory and this shirt highly resembles Thomas's one)

(also sorry for the camera quality)

Yall- i was NOT expecting this but here we are

yandere! sung jin-woo with kim dokja! reader mini series [part one]

warnings: fem!reader, aged-up!reader [late twenties], self-degradation, manhwa spoilers, mention of death and depression.

Please take caution in reading this series. By continuing to read on from this point, you are consenting to be subjected to reading material that might be sensitive or cause triggering.

If you do not wish to be subjected to a possible series of unfortunate events, leave now and find something much more pleasant to read.

You are responsible for your own Internet consumption.

Hey guys, and welcome to part one of the long-awaited crossover series between Solo Leveling and Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint! I do apologize for the wait, as you may have known, this is the time of the year when my work schedule is about to get extremely busy. I will do my best to update as often as I can, though I might leave this blog periodically to focus on my physical and mental health.

Special thanks to my collaborator @circeyoru and my beta @the-archer-goddess for helping me trudge through two difficult drafts that required a lot of revisions and research. The resources I used were from the manhwa and light novels of both series plus the wikis, so I’ll be citing them here.

With that being said, sit back, relax, and let’s see what will be broadcasting on today’s Star Stream~!

If there’s a downside to being a reader, it’s being self-aware that your existence will not have an impact on the events which will unfold inside the novel you were stuck in. Nothing you do will change anything except maybe unintentionally cause more problems for the other characters as a mob. For instance, Woo Jin-chul speaking to you over the phone on Sunday afternoon in a clipped, icy tone that broached no argument or bullshit. 

“Effective immediately, you are hereby suspended from Hunter activities until further notice. You’ve caused a lot of trouble for us at the Association. Do I make myself clear, Hunter [Last Name]?”

Woo Jin-chul was written to be a serious character who followed everything by the book. But he still could’ve just said you’re fired and hung up.  Oh well, it’s not like it matters anymore. You’ve already emailed him a nice, formal resignation letter that he’ll probably read on Monday or whenever he gets into the office. 

What the Chief Inspector of the Surveillance Team from now on shouldn’t be any concern for you.  It was time to move on and start over in a city that isn’t Seoul or else you’ll have an unknown penalty from the Side Character System. 

You’ve just sealed the last box up in tape, any trace of your existence is gone; neatly removed, a blank canvas for the family of three who purchased your condo to fill with their possessions, create new memories and so on.  Damned shame though. You really liked this place. You wanted to stay within walking distance of a family-owned bookstore slash coffee shop but this is part of the scenario you had to follow. 

Why does a Hunter like you have a system like the protagonist of Solo Leveling, Sung Jin-Woo? Maybe it’s because you are a reader, an outlier to this fictional world, that you are equipped with a system to ensure your survival in this place. And as someone who has read this 200 chaptered novel from cover to cover, the Side Character System has given you two objectives to complete until this story ends: help the protagonist move forward in tandem with the plot, and prevent any deviation from said story structure. The latter includes not getting closer to Sung Jin-Woo beyond a side character who saw his tenacity and quick thinking as variables that are much more valuable than rankings, armor, and weapons.

It was also nice to just pay 50 gold coins for the survival fee rather than the full 100 gold coins when he participated in your daily stamina quests with you, when he could. After all, the whole reason he became a Hunter was to provide for his family. His little sister Jinha is in high school and wants to be a doctor. His mother, Park Kyung-Hye, succumbed to the Eternal Sleeping disease and fell into a coma. Despite the astronomical hospital bills, Jin-Woo risked his life countless times to pay them and ensure she was in good care.

Solo Leveling. Its characters, magic system, the mysteries behind the spawning gates and the magical beasts that emerge from them, you love it all. You cherished these people even when you knew they would not spare an iota of attention on someone as insignificant as a side character like yourself. They saved you in ways they couldn’t understand and you did not want them to know.

So, you began to help them in small ways.

Discreetly paying the hospital bills for Jin-Woo, almost all of it yet just enough for the Weakest Hunter of All Mankind to pay the remainder and still have enough to buy fried chicken for dinner. Introducing Cha Hae-in to a weapons specialist when she entered the industry after being evaluated as an S-Rank Hunter. Help Baek Yoonho avoid the paparazzi when he was discreetly out in public. Join in on Sung Jin-Woo’s dungeon raids and teach [ or at least tried to, damned plot!] him how to use his surroundings to his advantage and craft potions without going broke on ingredients. You know, the small things that could be done by utilizing the advantages of an A-Rank Hunter who is known as The Laziest Hunter of All Mankind.

Bastards.

Just because you were dressed in a black buttoned down blouse and slacks and the white Infinite Dimension Coat doesn’t mean you aren’t prepared to move out when the Association needs you or there’s a job listing that requires your skill sets! There’s a practical use for your special grade item, and it’s to store stuff in your pocket as long as the items are not bigger than your body! You use it mainly for mana and essence crystals! Furthermore, you never leave home without Unbreakable Faith strapped to your side or in your Inventory. You worked too damned hard to acquire this item too after the shitty scenario you had to go through! And comfortable shoes were a must if you’re gonna be trekking for long periods of time in a dungeon! Good, expensive shoes that look like ordinary sneakers!

 Oh, the media mocks you for being on your phone when they decide to take a picture of you and post it online? Screw them! This is the best way to read webnovels, and you have been working your ass off to complete the scenarios that the system has given you! You’re allowed to have a little downtime before you’re back on the clock again, damn it! Having the Bookmark, Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, and Fourth Wall are extremely difficult skills to maintain since you can’t level up like Sung Jin-Woo! The Demon King of Salvation and Lone Messiah skills too! Unless you meet certain requirements, they’re useless! It’s always a good idea to check and double-check what you could or couldn’t do before making a move on the enemy. 

Which is probably why you had died during the red gate incident. Yes, you died. You got stabbed in the abdomen by an Ice Slayer who thought they would be helping Baruka win against the protagonist by being a sneaky asshole, and you did it because that was what the scenario told you to do. Get inside the red gate, protect Sung Jin-Woo and the other White Tiger Guild members for the whole three days and you would get rewarded.  The icing on the cake is that you had to lie and tell the protagonist that you were here inside the red gate because Woo Jin-chun told you that the S-Rank Hunter Hwang Dongsoo flew in from America to get even after he got word about what happened to his little brother in the last C-Rank dungeon he was in with Jinho, and your job was to do damage control in case anything happened. 

Shitty system. 

Anyway, Bookmark. In layman’s terms, Bookmark is a skill that allows you to copy the abilities of characters you have a deep understanding of. The deeper your understanding of the character, the more powerful the skill will be upon recreation. If your understanding of the character is low, then only part of the character’s skill is activated and the power is halved.  If you wanted to use ‘bookmark’ another character, the slot had to be emptied before inserting a new one, appearing behind you as a hologram of a book flipping through the pages until it landed on the skill you wanted to activate. Oh, and it can only be activated for a limited time. Currently, you can do it for ten minutes. The max is thirty, but you still had a long way to go before you could even reach that point. And of course, of all the characters who had an ability to take down Ice Slayers, Choi Jongin had been the one you selected. Choi Jongin is the Hunters’ fire-wielding guildmaster who got thirty seconds of screen-time in the novel at the most. You were pretty sure it increased to fifty seconds during the Jeju Raid arc. Including Baek Yoonho, he was desperate to recruit Sung Jin-Woo after hearing about the extent of his abilities.  

But back to the Bookmark skill slot. You used it, and because of your lack of understanding Choi Jongchin, your reproduced fire magic was only strong enough to knock down Ice Slayers, not incinerate them. You saw the Ice Slayer try to get one up on Sung Jin-Woo and you died. 

If you’re being completely honest, it didn’t feel like you were dying as you were cradled in Sung Jin-woo’s arms and seeing black spots in your vision.  Death was…like sleeping really, or logging out of a game for a moment and then logging back in. When you came to consciousness, having activated the Lone Messiah skill with just enough karma points you had collected and the blood of an eight-headed dragon you killed in an A-Rank dungeon, no one was there when you woke up except for a screaming nurse who just happened to be in the room at the time to check on your vitals.  That was when a familiar blue screen popped up in front of you, commencing the start of the next scenario with a timer and the requirements to complete it. 

[Scenario – Beast Rearing

Category: Sub

Difficulty: E

Clear Conditions: Leave Seoul  and keep the existence of the dokkaebi Biyoo a secret from civilians and Hunters. 

Time Limit: 21 days

Compensation: 500 coins. Expansion of shop items in relation to raising the dokkaebi Biyoo, including the availability of consumable monster corpses and mana crystals for a discounted price. 

 Failure: ???] 

“Ba-baht?”

The tiny squeak and the sudden weight on your shoulder paused you mid-rant. You glanced to the side and smiled softly, raising a finger to rub the tiny horn on your fluffy companion’s head. “Sorry, Biyoo. I was just thinking about something. Don’t worry about it.” You reassured the dokkaebi. If the system wasn’t telling you to get out of town, then Biyoo is another reason.

She had just hatched out of her egg when you found her in a dungeon. Her species were powerful for a C-Rank dungeon, mischievous and possessed immense magical power. You didn’t know why, but you couldn't force yourself to kill this baby after the strike squad wiped out her entire family to get to the boss. She imprinted on you too as her mother, and newborn dokkaebi would not last a day on their own without someone to look after them.

So if anyone found out that you have been hiding and raising a magical beast without the Association’s knowledge, there would be a lot of trouble. She was still a tiny thing, a puff of soft white fur and tiny arms with pink paws.

Combined with a curiosity of everything around her and a cuddle-bug? How could you not love her? 

You turned to look around again at the empty space, sadness gnawing in your bones. You’ve done what you could. There’s nothing else here in Seoul for you. Oh. Right. What about Unbreakable Faith? Where did you put your sword? Back in the inventory? Or is it by the master bedroom? No, that wasn’t it. You don’t remember it being there. Ah, right. You gave it to Sung Jin-woo when his own blade broke, back when he was still an E-Rank Hunter and you were keeping an eye on him as per the requirements of the system’s scenarios.  Weapons were not cheap, and even if it cost someone millions of won, there’s no guarantee that it’ll hold up in a dungeon based on quality and ranking. When his blades kept breaking, you decided to loan him your sword and never asked it back nor accepted the return, even after all the trouble you went through to get it. Besides, he’s the protagonist. He’ll get more use out of Unbreakable Faith than you will, or trade it or can lend it to his shadow soldiers to boost their aggro skills. Whatever will help him in the end.  Your new blade is Persephone’s Wrath. Weird name, but the stats were solid and worth it after spending so many coins on it in the system’s shop. 

By now, Jin-Woo should be with his mother and sister, enjoying some family time with them before the tragedy of Jeju Island will happen. Afterwards, he will be recognized by the world as an extremely powerful S-Rank Hunter despite the criticism aimed at him or the Association’s incompetence as to why this powerful Hunter hadn’t been added to the raid roster. He deserves it. That will probably be the last time he’ll get any peace and quiet or feel like a normal person before he is dragged into the war between the Monarchs and the Rulers. After all, he’s Ashborn’s vessel. 

Ping. The scenario’s screen appeared in front of you again. On the bottom was a single sentence and the sound of a timer ticking in your ear.  Countdown to the conclusion of the scenario: 00:03:59:45

Ha. No time to be reminiscent. You needed to get on the road, and fast. At least the safe house wasn’t too far of a drive. After ushering Biyoo to go inside your coat pocket and promising her to give her a treat if she was a good girl, you walked out of the condo with the last box in your hands. 

Ha, why couldn’t you disappear after that car hit you in the intersection instead of being resurrected with a system? That would have been easier than following these bizarre scenarios and paying a goddamned survival fee every day.

Let’s meet again, Sung Jin-Woo. You thought, smiling sadly as you inserted the key into the ignition of your vehicle and kept driving, never looking back and thinking about what to do next now that you’re officially retired from hunting.

╰┈➤ ❝ [ Devotion or Obsession? ] ¡! ❞

"A gift for you, my dear child" Your father mused as an 18 year old teenager, tattered and chained, was dragged to the floor and forced to kneel in-front of you Jinwoo looked up at you with expressionless gray eyes, his face was covered in dirt and his shirt was extremely filthy. "Hi." Jinwoo greeted you humbly.

"Father!" You shrieked, flicking the fabrics of your dress as you hurriedly knelt towards the slave and tried to support his limp figure.

He was hardly even concious with his bleary and sleepy eyes, his clothes are covered in grime and dirt as his face was dusted with blood and something else. He looked not much older nor younger than you, and yet all this man was made of was skin and bones.

"Why so upset, my dear?" Your father sneers, humming as he swirls a glass of wine in his his hand. "It's your birthday after all. Daddy thought that should be gifted, no?"

"But I didn't ask for a slave or anything at all!" You protest, only to be met by a domineering glare that instantly made you close your mouth.

"Be grateful, you goddamn pig" He bites, making you feel even more terrified than you older were. "If it weren't for the fact your fucking wench of a mother making a goddamn fuss before dying you wouldn't be here. The least you could do is accept whatever the fact I give you"

He calms down, continuing "That child was only a few silver coins. If you dont want him I could always give him to your sisters or work him to death."

"N-no!" You protest immediately, shivering at the thought of what your father might decide to do. "I-I'll keep him... I'll take care of him."

"There's a good girl," He chuckles, "Start with the imprinting."

You gulp, anxiously looking at Jinwoo who was tired beside you, he looked like he just wanted to to be done with everything.

"Your... Uhm..." His eyes would sweep towards you with an empty grey gaze. "Name?"

"Jinwoo." He says shortly.

"Alright, uhm, Jinwoo..." You hold your palm out. "It'll tickle, I have't done this before s-so—"

"It's fine." He cuts you off, stretching his scarred left hand towards yours and pressing it together.

You tremble at the touch, not of disgust— But instead you were nervous. If you screw this up, you might get another beating or worse,... Something might happen to Jinwoo.

So with the little mana you hold; you started pouring energy out as a soft gentle light comes as the brilliant and pretty things somehow turned into pitch black and purple shadows— Twisting and churning before attaching themselves to both of your ring fingers.

Jinwoo seemed unamused, but your father certainly was.

"Now, get out of my sight" Your father simply said after recovering from the spectacle. "Your sisters are about to arrive, you bring a sour expression to their wonderful faces, so leave"

You could only respond with a polite bow as you helped Jinwoo up to his feet and guided him out of the main house.

There wasn't even a carriage prepared for the both of you as you silently walked towards the far west inside a forest and then finally arriving at a crude but somehow decent looking manor.

Jinwoo watched and followed you as you guided him to a dusty bedroom and sat him down before fetching a small chest with ointments and bandages. Though his gaze was still empty, he was looking at you with curiosity, wondering why exactly you're doing this.

"I'm your slave," Jinwoo breaks the silence. "Aren't you supposed to leave this to your servants?"

"Hahah... Sorry." You apologize, making him quirk up an eyebrow. "Your master is pathetic, I have no servant in my name."

He doesn't question that situation, instead asking; "Then why do it yourself? I can patch myself up just fine."

"Maybe... Because I feel guilty?" You fidget, applying ointment on him after wiping his arm. "It's my... Birthday and yet because of it you're here. I'm sorry."

"Don't." He simply said, not meeting your eyes as he looks out to the distant skies. outside your broken window. "It's not your fault. And besides, here is better than just wherever."

The silence ensues, nothing much being said any further as you directed Jinwoo to an empty room. He was given a decent place to sleep in. It was odd, since this bedroom seemed more comfortable compared to yours that was even more shabby and dusty.

⋅ ˚ ₊ ‧ ଳ ‧ ₊ ˚ ⋅ ⋆ ౨ৎ ˚ ⟡ ˖ ࣪

It an odd situation, not once did you have ever treat Jinwoo as a slave, you were often on your own in your little garden at the backyard and farming vegetables for both of you to eat.

Jinwoo actively avoided you for quite a while, before deciding that since he lives with you and is technically leeching off of you— He might as well be useful.

And in those days where he helped you, the walls that Jinwoo had built around himself crumbled the more time passed by.

For a while, he was happy, you were happy.

You were both happy.

That was until you had to attend a gathering with your family that had abandoned you.

Of course, you had to dress in your shabby and outdated dress, to which everyone in the ballroom responds with mockery and spite. Jinwoo expected it, sure he's mad, but there's nothing he could do since he is nothing more but a damn slave who cant even defend his own master.

With heads hung low like cowards, the both of you decided to just stay in a corner and be as far away from any and all interactions. It went well for the first hour.

Admiring the brilliant lights and listening to wonderful music around you. Nobility is truly such a beautiful thing, golden plates, silver spoons, brilliant and gleaming jewels stitched into fine fabrics made by highly respectable and sought after tailors.

Jinwoo wanted to admire the scene with you, he truly did.

After all, he spent most of his days being dragged through the mud, his body being flogged over and over just for the fun of a drunk knight, or worse— Hard labour with only a piece of bread you can barely chew on due to how hard it is.

Compared to the grueling days he spent sleeping on the dirt, compared to the devastation he had as he cradled his dearly beloved little sister's corpse when she died of starvation— The sight of these luxurious tiles is mercy upon his pitiful soul.

...

Jinwoo's face drained of it's colours as he watches your elder sister yell at you for simply trying to greet her. A simple greet.

That was all it took for you to be on your knees frantically saying sorry with your voice as humble and as quiet as it can be.

He felt so hopeless, so frozen as he sees your pretty face scrunch in grief at your own actions that isnt even in the wrong in the first place.

So why must you kneel? Why must you humiliate yourself like this?

They stare at you with those sly eyes, as if finding your misery a source of entertainment. Sneers and chuckles would come with each insult being thrown your way.

Was it your fault you were born as the bastard child of the duke when it was your father who willingly went to brothels and slept with multiple women. It wa sonly your mother who stepped up confidently to demand your father to take you in despite the fact that she is currently dying of birth complications. Your mother did all of that just so you could live a comfortable life.

And instead here you were, being punished over something you didn't do.

Isn't family supposed to love eachohter? Jinwoo loved his baby sister so much. So why is he watching another older sibling throw wine at their own blood just for breathing?

Jinwoo felt so... Devastated, his dear companion, his master. His own master— Is being ridiculed right in front of him.

The person he was sold to, the person who took care of him—

"Don't touch him, eonnie!" You scream, throwing yourself right in front of Jinwoo despite the fact you're already soaking wet from the wine splattered all over your pretty face and your already ruined dress. "Please, he's innocent. He's imprinted to me, but he shouldn't receive any punishment. We'll go, eonnie, we'll go. Please don't touch him."

You're protecting him.

That bastard woman would have continued her assault if it werent for her dear father stopping her and saying it's a waste of time dealing with a bunch of lowlifes.

Thus, the two of you were escorted— No, thrown out the main palace.

Jinwoo followed behind you towards the path of your shabby manor, and as the blowing wind caressed your skins,... You broke down.

"Sorry, sorry, Jinwoo." You sob as the man threw his arms around you. "I'm sorry, it was my fault, you shouldn't have seen that. I'm so sorry, Jinwoo. I really am. Please forgive me. Don't be mad at me.

"Why are you asking me those questions?" He asks, his soft voice barely even able to control his trembling voice. "You're my owner, shouldn't I be begging for forgiveness?"

"No, no," You sob even louder.

And Jinwoo couldn't do anything else but comfort you.

Jinwoo didnt know how, but he managed to put you into sleep right after taking you home. He delivered some spare clothes to you for you to change in. He tucked you in under the shabby blankets and watched over you.

His gaze was stuck on you, contemplating deeply while guilt slowly clawed at his heart.

Tap, Tap, Tap.

"You'll get her killed." A voice suddenly says, and Jinwoo shot up, blocking his arm in front of you as you slept.

"Who—"

"Shut up"

The voice suddenly came from behind him, and when Jinwoo looked back— He could see a pair of purple eyes glaring at him. He can't quite see the face of the man, it was too pitch black and the moon isnt out tonight. He tried grabbing the vase on the sidetable but something had stopped him.

He can't quite tell, but it was as if the air itself is holding him back as those wicked and colr purple eyes glanced at him from the darkness right beside your sleeping form.

"You really think a damn vase can scare off an intruder?" The man scoffs. "You're pathetic."

"Who are you?" Jinwoo asks again, struggling to move as quiet murmurs surrounded him.

"Some guy" He answers.

"You must be one of those—"

"Ssh." The purple eyes gaze up at him again. "You'll wake the princess up with your voice."

Jinwoo shut his mouth, biting down on his lip as once again he felt so utterly hopeless. Not to mention the air around the stranger was absolutely wicked and somehow... Demonic? Otherwordly?

It was a feeling akin to staring at the abyss, the unkown that makes your skin crawl and itch.

That man is dangerous.

Dangerous But Not Hostile.

"That sister of hers," The man starts, his voice a little tense. "Will get her killed in a few years."

"Excuse me?"

"She'll die, and her blood will be on you, Jinwoo" He grits his teeth. "Just like your sister's who died from starvation, just like your mother who died from sickness, just like your father who died in your arms saving you from a bandit— Her blood will be on your hands just like theirs that is already on you."

"....."

"So quiet, now, huh? You're crying?" He sneers, the voice suddenly coming from behind him. "Crying wont do you any good, you fucking idiot."

"So what exactly do you want me to do?" Jinwoo yells, struggling as he tried to face the man. "I'm not strong, I'm built like a twig. I'm trying, okay? But I'm just a slave. This house is goddamn shabby, I've been trying to fix everything but it's lacking. I can barely even help in the farm, not to mention it's almost winter soon and if she wont die by that bitch's hands then she'll die because of this house! What the hell do you think I can do? I'm trying here and nothing is working!"

"...."

Of course he doesn't want to be in this situation either. Who does? He already lost his family, his blood, his precious kin— All gone and he couldnt do anything about. It was a hopeless situation. Of course, he tried getting a job in the capital since you let him roam as he pleases. He tried some odd jobs, several of them ranging from ordinary helper jobs to cleaning shoes to seeling newspapers; nothing is working.

He lost his family because of his weakness, and because of that same weakness he'll loose you too.

"Hypothetically, you are given a guide to becoming extremely strong to protect her but in the process you loose your sanity along the way as well as your emotions" The voice says, his footsteps echoing in the quiet room as he walked around Jinwoo like a ghost. "How far are you willing to go?"

"Farther than the limit."

"Even if you lose your limbs along the way?"

"Yes."

"Even if you get mauled by beasts?"

"Yes."

"Even if you go mad by the power you'll soon hold?"

"Yes."

"Even if you must become a murderer?"

"Yes."

"I'll do it."

"I'll do it all for her sake."

"Good" The voice hums, satisfied.

Jinwoo starts feeling dizzy, his legs giving in as he felt himself collapse on something soft.

"Protect her." The stranger's tone becomes gentle. "Where I failed to do so, be better than me. Devote yourself to her. Protect the heart that is more precious than anything in this world. Even if you go through hell, you must protect her. You must love her. Give her all the adoration you can ever give. Because I couldn't protect my princess. So don't make the same mistake."

Jinwoo had received the system from that night ever since. He had been busy from then on, often going out in the day and coming back in the evenings tired but somehow... A little different.

He'd go on long trips sometimes, which you honestly didn't mind so long as he promises to come home.

Soon enough, that same lanky, 18 year old boy— Is suddenly a head taller than you that you physically have to strain your neck just so you can meet with him eye-to-eye. Jinwoo had become from a lanky boy to a different person in just a blink of an eye in a matter of months.

Each long week he disappears; he comes back even more mature and lax in his demeanour. THe next thing you knew, Jinwoo enrolled himself as a hunter.

You're proud of him, of course you are.

That's your Jinwoo.

Your precious, precious and sweet Jinwoo who always stuck by your side even if you are a noble who had no servant to her name and a manor fit to be deemed as a haunted home.

The wealth would soon come pouring in with each succesful hunt Jinwoo goes through. And the more powerful his bounties were, the more famous he became. The money he accumulated directly went into rebuilding the shabby manor into an opulent home worthy of a duke's daughter. Your filthy, ragged dresses were replaced by finely crafted fabrics. Your neck and ears would be adorned in the meek but captivating jewelry.

Of course, he still had that title of slave over his head but weirdly enough... Jinwoo seemed to carry it as a badge of honor.

Why?

Because he was yours.

What's he is yours.

Naturally, jealous eyes come your way as the your dear hunter is now the most sought after. Who wouldn't want him anyway? Tall, handsome, a hunter— He is the embodiment of what is lusted for with a man.

And yet he never once bat an eye to those arrogant nobles who offered him the finest of fine wealth could ever give.

Love letters from all over the kingdom pine for your precious Jinwoo.

And yet he still chose you.

Those steely grey eyes of him would solely be for you and you only.

He looked a you like you are his precious goddess.

You Jinwoo is so... So Innocent and lovely.

Even as he held your father's severed head on his hand.

Even as a pool of blood puddled beneath his feet. Even as his grey orbs have turned purple. Even as the opulent pearl tiles reflected his maddened figure.

Your Jinwoo is just so... So lovely.

His heart, oh, his heart belonged to you. His innocent, pretty little master who looks up at him with a bewildered but awestruck gaze— He knew you weren't mad.

"I did it all for you, princess" Jinwoo would coo, cupping your face and swiping his thumb affectionately over cheek. "They were trying to make you cry again. We can't have that"

He whispers, leaning down to kiss your forehead. "After all, I am yours. We're already binded by a contract. Even if it didn't exist I'd still choose the same choice I have made now."

He holds up his hand, pressing his palm against yours as the tattooes rings on your ring fingers glowed purple.

"See? Even our mark is like wedding rings" He intertwines your fingers together before bringing it up to his lips and kissing the mark on you. "It's okay. It's okay. This is for your own good."

"This is all for your sake, my precious god."

"This bloodbath is an offering for you."

꒰ A/N: idk what I made nor do I wanna know. The plot is all over the place wheeze. I'm quaking at writer's block. I should not write for Jinwoo until I get the energy back. I'm so mindblocked with him maybe it's because I cant draw fanart of him atm. ahhhhhhhhhh ꒱

genre:Actions/Fantasy

status:ongoing

»10 years ago, after “the Gate” that connected the real world with the monster world opened, some of the ordinary, everyday people received the power to hunt monsters within the Gate. They are known as "Hunters". However, not all Hunters are powerful. My name is Sung Jin-Woo, an E-rank Hunter. I'm someone who has to risk his life in the lowliest of dungeons, the "World's Weakest". Having no skills whatsoever to display, I barely earned the required money by fighting in low-leveled dungeons… at least until I found a hidden dungeon with the hardest difficulty within the D-rank dungeons! In the end, as I was accepting death, I suddenly received a strange power, a quest log that only I could see, a secret to leveling up that only I know about! If I trained in accordance with my quests and hunted monsters, my level would rise. Changing from the weakest Hunter to the strongest S-rank Hunter!«

Ashborn x OC (Evangeline)

This is my first post and fanfiction so there might be some grammar errors so please go easy on me :")))

I will make a copy of the story as an Ashborn x Goddess Reader later.

Evangeline (aka: Evelyn is OC): Born from the first star during the first days of the Multiverse. She has lived through countless millenias and has watched over countless constellation (ie: fates of others) with her brother who was the deceased God of the Night Lupine, and now has to lead her Realm to a brighter future. Her Realm was one of the weakest despite being one of the first that appeared. She does not wish for power nor dominion over others, but a desire to understand mortal’s hearts, their drive, their motivation...and their love for each other. She was rather a curious individual. The other gods of her Realm made no argument against it, yet others from other realms such as The Order Realm mock her for trying to be like them. Some even think that they are inferior beings and sees them like any other creation, inconsequential and insignificant, tools for them to watch for entertainment. Yet she comes to love them and wishes that she could be with them daily instead of watching them from afar as a god           

Title: Goddess of Stars and Dreams and Queen of the Untold Stories and Fairytales. Ruler of the land of Wishes along with other Gods born from the Ocean of Memories. (This is from Shining Nikki game)

Powers and Abilities: Control over constellations, Stellar and Celestial Magic, can literally create meteor showers when in a bad mood and write the fates of others (though she prefers to let people decide their own fate and destiny)

Ashborn was one of the eight Rulers, now the Shadow Monarch, whose heart was and still is filled with vengeance and hatred towards his fellow brothers for killing their Master, the Absolute being. But after confronting the betrayal from the Beast Monarc and the Monarch of White Flames, along with his brothers, the Rulers, asking for forgiveness, he later retreated and was presumably lost before being taken back into the Monarch of Destruction's ranks. But he was lost in this infinite universe and wondered where he stood in all of this. He decided to travel around the multiverse to try and clear his head. In his travels, he stumbled upon a place where the endless sea stretched out to infinity. Stood before laying a sea of clouds, blocking his path. He tried using his powers to remove it but to no avail. He tried many times yet the mist of cloud would not budge. Just when he was about to leave, a silhouette appeared with long hair and a flowy dress. He immediately used his Ruler's Authority to see who was playing tricks on him. She dodged all of his attacks, much to his annoyance. She later stepped out of the clouds, raising her hands over her head, trying to defuse the situation, saying:

"It's alright. I mean you no harm,"

Ashborn was a bit skeptical but gave her a chance to explain herself.

"Is this some sort of game to you? Do I look like some pawn," he said with an aggressive tone to the point of frightening her.

She was surrounded by the intensity of the air around her. Something was off about him, not realizing it was screaming right at her. This being is anything but normal.

"No, sir, I'm sorry for the clouds, it's just doing its job of protecting the area behind them." She answered while trying to defuse the situation.

Ashborn calmed down and asked her what the area ahead was.

"The area you're trying to go to is the Realm of Dreams and Wishes, this body of cloud is used to protect it from any danger whatsoever. No one can penetrate it except for people like me,"

She said while holding a stance, trying to look as confident as she could.

"People like you?…" Ashborn curiously said

The girl was confused and worried at the same time, trying to come up with an answer for him.

"I'm a… messenger. Yes, a messenger from the Realm. people like me can come in and out of this place

Ashborn thought of his time back when he served the Absolute Being when he told him that there were many realms beyond this universe and that he was not as Absolute as he might seem. He entrusted this secret to his most loyal soldier, hoping that it could be of good use to him later on.

"So you can open it for me," he asked

"Yes, but you have to tell me what your purpose is here," she said as she stood her ground

Ashborn just simply told her that he was a traveler from afar, wanting to explore.

The girl was skeptical at first but found that there were no traces of malicious intent in his eyes and he seemed genuine. So she decided to agree to his terms under one condition that he must not harm anyone or destroy anything within this Realm.

He agreed to it.

"By the way, what is your name? Ashborn asked curiously as he knew he could not address her with just any name.

"Evelyn. My name is Evelyn," she responded as the clouds dispersed to reveal a sea of stars and constellations and islands covered with green grass, trees, and flowers of all kinds, hovering above it with beautiful infrastructure and waves chanting softly with aurora decorating the night sky like a multi-colored curtain. And at the center of it was a crystal-like palace reflecting the light that came from the two moons

"What's your name?" Evelyn asked him.

He went silent for a moment before responding:

"…Ashborn"

"Welcome to the Realm of Dreams and Wishes, Ashborn,"
