      by cruelty ~Chapter~ ₩780,000. That was all Donghee had managed to scrape together after working three part-time jobs and barely catching any sleep all month. Three jobs, and this was it? The reason was predictable. Debt. The massive sum of money she had never even laid eyes on came from gambling debts her brother owed to loan sharks—her brother, who hadn’t contacted her in years. Like bloodhounds, the loan sharks tracked her down and threw that monstrous debt on her shoulders like it was some kind…

      by Atlas Haven Chapter 12 I Promised Uncle. “That guy, right?” At the very back of the stands, a middle-aged man lounging in a fine chair spoke. He wore a patch over one eye. He was the owner of this arena and the head of the One-Eyed Sect. “He does fight well, I’ll grant him that.” A subordinate behind him spoke up. “The loss is big, but if this bout ends well, we can recoup it.” He meant the three tigers. At that, the man nodded. “How’s he…

      by Atlas Haven Chapter 11 The Fierce-Wolf Young Master When the fight started up again, it was the Black Path men who panicked. The one who looked like the overseer barked: “What are you doing? Get in there and pull him out!” They hadn’t put the tigers in there for them to be killed. It was just a setup to separate gems from stones. Live tigers were precious. If something went wrong, their superiors would blame them. Hesitating, they rushed into the cage the moment one tiger…

      by Atlas Haven Chapter 10 Not Enjoying This, Are You? Gyo-ha hid his expression as if he’d heard nothing. Then a man cleared his throat and approached. “Hold on. It’s normally not allowed, but I’ll ask—on one condition.” The man held up three fingers. Gyo-ha tilted his head, but Noh-sam did not. “Pay triple, is it?” “Take it or leave it.” He folded his arms, as if he had nothing to lose. Biting his lip, Noh-sam spoke. “Double.” The men’s brows…

      by Atlas Haven Chapter 9 He Was Quite Strong Another plate was set atop the empty bowls, and Gyo-ha patted his belly in satisfaction. “Ah, that was a great meal.” “I can’t eat another bite either.” Noh-sam also pushed out his belly, stuffed. After such a satisfying meal, the two rose from their seats. “Was the meal to your liking?” Unlike ordinary inns or taverns, they greeted the pair with formality. Thanks to this, Gyo-ha and Noh-sam were in a good mood. But only…

      by Atlas Haven Chapter 8 My Pouch! It was nothing like the foxes or rabbits he’d caught till now. But— “If we work on it now, we won’t reach the village today.” At that, Gyo-ha smacked his lips in regret. Then he set the deer down. “Be careful from now on, okay?” It was not something that a kidnapper should say, yet the deer dipped its head as if it understood and bolted. Noh-sam gazed at Gyo-ha. Maybe because of life with his master, he didn’t kill…

      by Atlas Haven Chapter 7 It’s A Hard World To Live In 9 months ago9 min92210 After they crossed several mountainsides, the village was out of sight. Trees stood thick. Insects chittered loudly. Limping along, Noh-sam looked ahead. Gyo-ha was walking on his hands. His clothes and bundle were hooked over his legs so they wouldn’t get wet. At first it had scared him half to death, but now he was getting used to it. Thanks to it, their pace more or less matched. “Young…

      by Atlas Haven Chapter 6 The Hero Of Jang Family Village The villagers fell silent. From Gyo-ha’s reaction, they sensed there was something they didn’t know. And at what Gyo-ha said, even the herbalist showed surprise. “…He was able to tell just by touching you?” “Yes.” “Hah, your master’s no ordinary man.” “His temper’s not ordinary either. Heh-heh.” Saying so, Gyo-ha swiped beneath his nose. The cheeky words about his master, paired with his smug face,…

      by Atlas Haven Chapter 5 I’m Just Curious Though something odd had gotten mixed in along the way, thanks to it he could grasp the situation. Noh-sam scratched his head, embarrassed by the women’s praise. Gyo-ha’s gaze toward Noh-sam changed. The more he heard, the more curious he grew about Noh-sam’s skills. But thanks to it, the misunderstanding was resolved. Nodding, Gyo-ha rose to his feet. “Was there anyone else forced to work like Uncle Noh-sam?” At his question,…

      by Atlas Haven Chapter 4 Who Was It Again? Once, Yun Heo had said: “Everything has its use. Bandits and pirates are the same.” “What are you talking about all of a sudden?” Back when Gyo-ha’s body was still cute like other children his age, the young Gyo-ha looked up at Yun Heo with swollen eyes. Then did that mean there were good people among bandits? At his dissatisfied look, Yun Heo let out a brief chuckle. “Sure, what they do isn’t right.” Whatever the reason, they were men…
