The Guardian of Time

Present DayThe royal lake. Zane thought, as he looked around for the water body in the palace premises. It has to be the answer.Upon finding the water body, he stared at the rippling surface, thinking this mystical body of water was a portal, a way to return to his world.Nothing else made sense. Maybe this was all a dream—a feverish hallucination, the product of a coma. This will be all over once he dives back in.And so, without further thoughts, he jumped right in.The icy depths swallowed him whole, the cold biting at his skin with such ferocity that his body shuddered, and his teeth chattered. The freezing numbness crept into his ears, his fingers, even his nose.As his body gave in to the water’s pull, his eyes opened.But there was a white mist around him that blinded him to everything. He panicked, but before he could thrash in confusion, the mist began to thin. Lifting slowly, it revealed a silhouette far away—a figure in the distance, veiled in the same ethereal haze.His h

Burdened With a Glorious Mission

The Return of the Emperor/Yarah

The Guardian of Time!The name sent a shiver down Zane’s spine. He wasn’t a man who believed in fate or magic, but the weight of this being’s presence made his blood run cold.But before he could speak a word, the Guardian spoke again, "You loved her didn't you?""What I saw just now-" he yelled, his heart picking a pace, feeling a sudden horror."It was a glimpse of the past," replied the Guardian of Time. "Something that you entering 1025 would've changed. But you-""What?" He exclaimed, his tone clearly surprised and disbelieving."You're in a stage between death and afterlife," the voice replied, curtly, her words prompting his heart to sink even more, his senses numb. "To put it simply, your soul is temporarily confined.""I-I'm dead?" he exclaimed in a gruff voice."Well! In 2025, yes, " she replied, her tone calm but stern. "In 1025, no.""1025," he drew his brows together, puzzled as to what had happened.Then he remembers. Of course, I died. I fell from a 30-storeyed building.

Zane Meets His Idol

The Return of the Emperor/Yarah

Zane's consciousness drifted in and out, his mind swimming through layers of disjointed dreams before he was abruptly pulled into reality. His eyelids felt like lead, resisting his efforts to open them. The first thing he registered was the realization that he was back in the year 1025, the Kangyu Dynasty. The scent of medicinal herbs lingered in the air, mingling with the faint aroma of polished wood and incense.The second was the way a sword was unceremoniously shoved against his throat.Zane's breath hitched.It wasn’t exactly the warm welcome he had imagined upon meeting the legendary King Yu in the flesh.And yet, there he was, hovering over Zane like some kind of vengeful deity, eyes narrowed with unfiltered disdain. He had never imagined in his entire life that he'd ever get to see his idol up close, the man whose very existence had shaped history, the man he had worshipped, the—"Who are you?" he demanded, voice sharp like the edge of the blade he weilded.Zane panicked at th

A Duty Unwanted

The Return of the Emperor/Yarah

Yeonho stood in the throne room with his head lowered, the crown prince at his side, mirroring his solemn posture. The vast chamber held its breath, a tense stillness humming beneath the gilded ceiling—until the king’s voice erupted, cutting through the air like a drawn blade, each word laced with venomous disdain.“As I had predicted, he has started assuming your place,” the king said, his cold gaze fixed on Yeonho, though his words were meant for the crown prince.Yeonho did not flinch. He had long learned that responding to such accusations was fruitless. The weight of the king’s contempt was a familiar burden, one he had carried since the day he stepped into the palace.Yeonho had no fond memories of the royal throne room. The king rarely summoned him here—only when duty demanded it, and never for reasons he would cherish. He was not a noble guest nor a valued advisor. He was merely a guard, granted the position out of necessity, tolerated only because the crown prince had taken a

Touch Me Like a Threat

The Return of the Emperor/Yarah

The dry maple leaves snapped under the weight of something enormous—sharp, brittle sounds echoing through the stillness of the night like bones cracking under pressure.Yeonho watched as the shadows broke open, revealing the hulking silhouette of a wolf. Not just any wolf—him.Mina.His black fur shimmered silver at the tips, like the dying embers of a fire, and his muscles tensed beneath that thick coat, coiled and ready to strike. Vaani froze in front of him. Her breath hitched—a soft, terrified gasp that barely reached her lips. She was paralyzed by fear, and yet… so was the wolf.He knew.The growl that tore from Mina’s throat was low, guttural, a sound that rattled the trees. His yellow eyes glowed like molten gold, locked onto her, ears flat, lips curling to reveal ivory teeth. His tongue passed over his fangs, slow and deliberate, as if tasting the fear in the air. Thick ropes of saliva clung to his jaws and fell in strands to the forest floor. His steel-gray claws dug into the
