    Overtime Fairy: Ledger of Two Worlds

    2 ch · Modern

    Ruer, a thirty-two-year-old burnt-out office worker crushed by debt and overtime, awakens one rainy commute to a second sight: the ordinary city is also a xianxia fairy realm, its buses river-dragons, its towers jade mountains, its paperwork spirit contracts. At first the double vision makes her feel insane. But when she learns to harmonize fairy whim with modern structure, she unlocks small impossible abilities—one honest boundary, one rescued coworker, one debt renegotiated—each step pulling her toward a life she actually chose. To keep it, she must face the Hollow Auditor, a corporate spirit that feeds on burnout, and decide whether dreams are escape or architecture.

    The Confession Ledger

    5 ch · Dark Fantasy

    In Hexing City, sins can be written down, signed away, and forgotten. Sixteen-year-old Ai Wenruo is the youngest third-rank auditor in the Bureau of Bound Confessions, a black-glass tower where clerks rise by processing more confessions per shift. Her gift lets her read sealed ledgers without going blind and identify any clerk's handwriting across decades. Her curse is that inside the Bureau she cannot lie, cannot leave the city without a superior's permit, and forgets any sin she confesses by sunrise. When a peddler admits selling poisoned ink to the Bureau, Wenruo finds her own signature on the purchase receipt. The trail leads to a hidden ledger stating that she murdered her older brother, Li Yan — a crime accepted by Senior Auditor Cao, the only man who can release her from her blood contract. Each chapter, Wenruo processes one confession that cracks the official story of Li Yan's death, then loses another piece of him by morning. To survive, she must turn the Bureau's own confession laws into a weapon before the system edits her heart clean.

    Patron of Unfinished Narratives

    5 ch · Xianxia

    Yǔ Zhēn sells destinies for a living in a city where stories are transferable property. When a forbidden tragedy fragment mirrors her own childhood and the suspicious death of her younger brother, her search leads from her respectable brokerage into the Celestial Archive of Plots. There she learns that gods are not creators but entertainment executives collecting royalties from human suffering. To escape a closed-loop tragedy written for her, Yǔ Zhēn weaponizes every unfinished story she has ever skimmed, turning the gods into characters in a better show. Victory makes her divine, but it also asks for the only payment she cannot bear: the deletion of the brother-shaped wound that made her human.

    Awal atau Akhir

    1 ch · Modern

    In 2026 the peat fires of Sumatra stop being a seasonal disaster and become an extinction event: a spore from a burned, unnamed fungus rides the smoke into the nervous system of anyone who breathes it, killing them in minutes and walking them back upright with white-film eyes and black veins. Raka, a seventh-semester student in Pekanbaru, survives his mask snapping — which makes him either the luckiest man alive or a specimen everyone wants. As a militia led by a man who calls slaughter order and a scientist who calls the outbreak an experiment tighten their hands around him, Raka follows the yellow fog out of the city to the peat dome where the mother colony is still breathing — and finds out whether he is the beginning of the cure, or the beginning of something worse.

    The Pawnshop on Ren-Hai Bridge

    5 ch · Action

    In the industrial river-port of Ren-Hai, licensed pawnshops accept memories as collateral: a face, a scene, a feeling sealed into jade and fully erased from the customer until redeemed. Han Xinyu, the twenty-year-old heir of an old bridge pawnshop, is calm, exact, and trapped by law. When a stranger pawns a memory that shows her own father’s murder, Xinyu cannot report what she saw, cannot return the memory, and cannot abandon the shop without losing her family’s livelihood. Each new transaction gives her one more legal clue in a twelve-year-old conspiracy—until the trail leads not only to officials and assassins, but back to her dead grandfather’s private ledger.

He now has nine hours to commit a smaller murder or the karmic weight will crush his spine by morning — and every viable target in the caravan is someone he has been quietly protecting.

Jiaolin wants only to protect his sister's last six months before freedom, but every floor he investigates reveals that his family's indenture began with a buried assassination loan. If he exposes the truth, he loses everything. If he sells or melts the coin, the lie that enslaved his family survives.

    5 ch · Action

    Fifteen-year-old Tabi is a conscripted magical doorman sent to Sun-Beol, a border city already twelve days into a siege. A doorman can bind one door per day with one exact clause, and a bad clause fails open for everyone. Sun-Beol has sixty gates, sally-ports, storehouses, and palace doors that need sealing before the next assault. Tabi has eleven days. His commander, General Sang Eo-jin, is the same man named in Tabi’s dead mother’s final curse: her tiny kitchen door will open only to Sang Eo-jin’s blood, and only on the day he comes to her son for forgiveness. As Tabi chooses which parts of the city must be sacrificed, each binding becomes a weapon, a moral test, and a clue to what really happened between his mother and the general twenty years ago.

    Debt of the Six Lanterns

    5 ch · Action

    In the walled monastic city of Tsun-Ji, failed civil-service candidate Yu Sansheng wakes to six glowing paper lanterns on his attic floor. A Bureau of Restitution official informs him that he has inherited his grandfather's old office: Lantern-Keeper, bearer of six ancestral debts owed to dead families wronged by his bloodline. If any lantern is extinguished, the debt is collected from his body, organ by organ, in the order the claimant chooses. Yu has no money, no martial skill, and thirty days before automatic collection begins; his only weapons are six years of failed exam study, the city's Restitution Code, and a talent for staying polite while terrified. Each chapter follows one negotiation with a wronged family or institution, revealing that one lantern's filing number is forged by the very Bureau enforcing the debt. The pilot ends when Yu discovers the false debt is not attached to him at all, but to the person he most needs to protect.

    The Forger's Mouth

    5 ch · Action

    In a 1920s Shanghai-coded foreign concession, Wen Jia survives by telling the truth about other people's lies. She is the only certified woman documents-expert in the city, famous for reading a person's hand through pressure marks, ink sediment, and seal flaws. She is also a convicted perjurer with three wooden fingers, because three years ago Bai Lou, the beautiful and terrifying head of the Lotus Pier syndicate, paid her to certify a forged debt. Now Bai Lou hires her to authenticate the supposed last letter of Bai Yan, a dead heiress whose estate can shift the balance of the underworld. Halfway through the examination, a woman enters Wen Jia's atelier pretending to be Bai Yan's twin. Wen Jia recognizes the woman's penmanship from the letter itself: the dead heiress is alive. If Wen Jia refuses the job, Bai Lou exposes her old bribe receipt. If she lies under oath, the court takes her remaining left thumb and her license. If she tells the truth, Bai Yan may die. The pilot unfolds as a locked-room psychological duel between three predators: a forger who cannot lie, a dead woman who wrote her own accusation, and a possessive syndicate lord who watches hands the way other men watch mouths.

Exposing the crime will save Hull Six from a full audit purge, but stopping the trade means opening a valve that floods the deck above the stolen air stock. With six days left on her own breath-mark and no witness willing to risk suffocation, Tela must choose who gets to breathe, who gets written off as arithmetic, and whether becoming the honest quartermaster means inheriting the same crime.

    In the fog-drowned city of Greyveil, every supernatural bargain is filed, taxed, and enforced by the Veil Court — and Adrian is the least important clerk in it. He is anxious, overlooked, and hiding one impossible talent: by reading the shadow a pact casts, he can see its true terms and every buried clause. The price is a memory of equal emotional weight. When his sister Elara collapses, her shadow peeling like wet ink, Adrian learns she signed a pact seven years ago to save his life from the Greyveil Fever — and the debt has come due. To reach the vault where her contract is sealed he must rise through the Court's ranks, burning his own past for every promotion, outmaneuvering the legacy auditor Cassian who suspects exactly what he is. But Elara's contract is only a tributary. The Veil Court itself is one enormous pact, founded to keep the city's shadows fed on forgotten things so they never turn on the living — and it is fraying. Adrian finds the anchor clause, the one loophole that lets him rewrite the terms. The cost is everything he has ever been.
