    Summary

    “Are you from Tennessee–”

    “No,” Yoo Joonghyuk said flatly, without even looking at him. They were in the training rooms of the demon castle, where he was throwing knives at a photo of Dokja himself. On one hand, he was flattered. On the other hand, he was also intensely concerned.

    –Because,” Dokja said, exasperated, throwing Joonghyuk a dirty look he knew he could feel even with his face turned away. “You’re the only ten I see.”

    “That’s absolutely disgusting,” Yoo Joonghyuk said, and turned to hurl a knife at him. Dokja caught it in his hand reflexively. The hilt was still warm from his grip. “Try again tomorrow.”

    in an astonishing show of stupidity, kim dokja, a streamer, decides to seduce the final boss of the vr fantasy game three ways to survive in a fantasy world. spoiler alert: the final boss is not, in fact, an npc; he’s an actual streamer who has apparently been on the receiving end of kim dokja’s flirtations for months– also while streaming. what fun!

    Summary

    “Yoo Joonghyuk,” the man says, his lips curled up in what looks like a disbelieving smile. “Is your team always so excitable?”

    Next to Lee Hyunsung, Yoo Joonghyuk exhales a sharp breath.

    Lee Hyunsung quietly shifts a little further from his captain.

    “Kim Dokja,” Yoo Joonghyuk murmurs, his eyes still closed, his voice like a needle in a haystack, sharp enough to draw blood. “Your reputation precedes you.”

    Summary

    Maybe incredible was the wrong word. Horrifying might be better. A full day for such a ridiculous thing, with the penalty of death? Not that death often stopped Kim Dokja's plans, but it was the principle of the matter.

    Summary

    After the Tenth Scenario, Yoo Joonghyuk is left behind.

    Kim Dokja is gone, and the Star Stream moves on without him. But regressions are never clean, and neither are gods. As forgotten memories and impossible truths begin to surface, Joonghyuk is drawn into a journey he does not remember choosing—one shaped by wishes, sacrifice, and the quiet cruelty of the universe.

    And if the world was built to take Kim Dokja from him, then Yoo Joonghyuk will learn what it means to fall, burn, and defy the universe itself to reach him again.

    Summary

    Dokja thinks that it’s a very cruel coincidence that Joonghyuk’s favourite way to fuck him is the one he hates the most.

     

    Or, the one where Kim Dokja thinks they're Companions with Benefits™; Yoo Joonghyuk is probably already in love and thinks watching Kim Dokja’s face when he comes is romantic.

     

    If they turn a few pages, maybe they’ll eventually land on the same one.
