Tribute Ledger

5 ch · Fantasy

In the inland kingdom of Pyung, every vassal village survives under a brutal steppe rule: the richer a village looks in the public tribute ledger, the more the khanate takes. Wen Ji-rul, a tired under-merchant exiled to the canal-prefecture of Mok-ho, knows how to make wealth disappear on paper because he spent his career hiding nobles' fortunes beneath salt prices. With the khan's autumn audit one week away and kidnapped village children waiting in the khan's camp, Wen must coordinate real grain shipments, manipulate trusted salt-grain indexes, and convince hostile headmen to support a legal lie. When a Salt Bureau inspector with her own hostage brother arrives, the fraud becomes a shared knife between them. But every false number must survive three audit formulas, two refusing villages, one vengeful capital official, and a khanate translator who knows exactly what Wen is doing.

The Quartermaster of Hull Six

5 ch · Action

In Avermouth, a sunken naval fleet sealed into a pressurized underwater city, air is currency and every wrist carries a weekly breath-mark countdown. Tela Iguri, a twenty-three-year-old junior quartermaster of Hull Six, discovers her superior has been selling next month’s air to Hull Three, where Tela’s younger brother sleeps between shifts. 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.
