'The hideous truth'
And you'll never be pure again'
uncomfortably as the intimidating red haired man, now known as Hyunjin, stared into my eyes. He hesitated for a second before handing me a small, cardboard box, I glanced up at him before opening the box with shaking hands.
I tore open the lid and peered inside, a plastic container? Filled with...what looked to be...meat? I glanced up at Hyunjin confused, he slightly smiled before taking an intake of air to speak. "It's meat, dumbass. You're going to cook it. You know, we can have a nice romantic dinner together." He smirked at his choice of words, a frown tugged at my lips. His smirk fell, "don't seem so disappointed." He playfully rolled his eyes before getting up and walking to the kitchen. I took a deep breath, trying to reassure myself, and trailing behind him out of the living room, and into the small kitchen,
——————————
It was weird to be eating meat, considering the fact I was facing the most terrifying man I had ever met, and considering it was the middle of the night. I don't like this, but at least the food is good I guess. At least it was an actual meal, not just meat, so that was half decent. The food itself was good, the vegetables where all seasoned well, as well was the meat, although it had a strange, sweet taste to it, I couldn't put my finger on the peculiar taste.
"Heard from Sieun lately?" He suddenly questioned, breaking the tension filled silence. "Uh, no I haven't." I quickly answered, eyeing him suspiciously, bit of an odd question to ask. He hummed in an understanding tone, before returning to his food, but speaking again a second later. "How does she taste."

"What?" I mumbled, not understanding the purpose of his words. "You heard me." He deadpanned, before taking another mouth full of his food. "No... it isn't- it can't be-" I was abruptly cut off by him. "Oh but it is." He wickedly grinned at me before setting down his chopsticks into the plate.
My breathing became a lot heavier as I rushed up from the table, and sprinted to the bathroom. Opening the toilet lid, and emptying the contents of my stomach. I heard heavy, slow footsteps come into the room, and my hair being pulled out of my face. I was practically praying that it wasn't what I thought it was. He's not- he's playing tricks on you- it's- Sieun isn't- she can't be- the meat... it's just normal meat... right?...
I breathed heavily as I sat there, embarrassingly slumped over the toilet after vomiting. I heard a low chuckle before my body being pulled up. "Aw did you not like my gift? That's unfortunate." he laughed trying to lighten the mood when terrible jokes, before wiping my mouth with a tissue, trying to get the vomit off my face.
My face heated up in embarrassment, once he was done he threw the tissue in the bin, and leaned up against the doorframe of the room. "Get out." I mumbled in a low tone. He glared at me for a second, "what was that?" He said, daring me to repeat myself. "You heard me." I replied bravely, repeating what he had said earlier, he walked over to me, his face dangerously close to mine.
"You don't get to fucking tell me what to do." He glared daggers into my eyes, and I stepped back as nerves settled in my stomach. He painfully grabbed the roots of my hair and dragged my head so that my ear was next to his mouth. All was silent for a second, before he whispered in an ominous tone. "Next time you tell me what to do, I'll fucking kill you and feed you to your own family."

My heavy breathing was the only thing that could be heard, my eyes were wide open in shock, he hesitated again, before pulling my head away, and studying my face for a moment. Before his face fell into a serious glare.
"Your coming with me" he whispered before painfully slamming the side of my head into the tiled wall, knocking me out in the process.

This chapter is probably boring and I apologise if it is and for the short length of it, it's really late at night when I'm writing this lmao.
Also if you didn't get it, Lee know killed Sieun, then gave her body to Hyujin. He then cooked her meat and him and [name] ate it, [name] of course not realising it was in fact her best friend.
I'm so sorry for the slow updates, I've been so busy and I've had no motivation at all. I'll try to write more and update more now. Stay safe :)

An Unbound Soul
When Peter suffers a too-close encounter with a truck, he finds himself reborn in another world. At first glance it is a perfect fantasy land. There's magic to play with, elves singing in the forest and a hyperactive catgirl neighbour. There's even a System that lets him earn skills and level up. But it isn't long before he notices that the world is far too perfect. Just why is everyone so nice? Can Peter accept the alien morality of this world's self-proclaimed protector, or will he seek to overthrow her? Set after the events of A Lonely Dungeon, a few hundred years after the rebirth of civilization, this is a story about an earthling falling into Erryn's new world and the subsequent struggles of himself and Erryn to understand each other. It's a slow paced slice of life, and while there are pieces of action, don't expect any immediate grand conflict between Erryn and Peter. Published here, scribblehub and amazon. Two new chapters a week on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Blood Quest - A LitRPG
Leon's family has been diagnosed with a new type of incurable blood disease. It's an absolute death sentence and when it turns aggressive, you only have a few more years of painful life left to live. His mother has just begun the last years of the disease when a person supposedly comes back from death with supernatural abilities. He talks about a choice you get after death--get an extra chance to come back to life, or die. Even with Leon's diminishing life span, he won't consider the option of going there, until he meets another survivor who had the same goal as him and succeeded. Leon has a choice to make—die now for a chance to save his mother, or die in a few years, where the disease rapidly melts his muscles from his own body. He enters a game-like world, a sort of limbo, where his ultimate goal is to climb the tower of Katastroph before his mother's time runs out. There are a few problems with this though. The tower is almost impossible to beat, if you die you won't revive, and only three people in over twenty years have actually made it back. Leon has two years to climb the tower, with the help of the few people willing to try, while Ai, the tutorial guide, makes things harder for them. ***** The story starts pretty dark but goes onto a lighter tone. Then (more) dark again. Disclaimer: This story is an experimental project and I hope to get any and all feedback you can give me. Warning: First draft. Chapters tend to be between 3400-4100 words long (about 8-11 A4-pages). Mentioning it since I've seen it in other fictions :P Sometimes they're shorter, sometimes they're longer. ******************************** CHAPTER RELEASES UPDATE: As the first "book" in the series is done, I'm going to release coming chapters somewhat sporadically, and when Writathon ends, I'll probably go back to publishing one chapter per weekend. We'll just have to wait and see! I hope you enjoy the story! I really appreciate all comments and feedback, so if you have anything to say, feel free to voice it :) ************ [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
