Other Half: 비밀의 삶

Ytiamy
His own face turned into his greatest enemy. He wasn't living - he was waiting for his end. Joo Won was nothing more than a player in his own life, forced to perform the role of a perfect heir in a world built on lies. Every move had to be flawless, because one mistake could destroy the only person who ever mattered - his other half. His body is covered in scars, but none cut deeper than the one left by a goodbye that never came. All he has left is a faded photograph - two boys smiling in the orphanage garden, unaware that fate was already writing their tragedy. Now, even as a powerful chaebol heir, Joo Won lives like a prisoner in his own empire, counting down his days in silence. Will he die without finding the boy who was once his world? Or will his gilded cage become the stage for his final rebellion? A dark thriller romance about identity, power, and the haunting bond between two souls torn apart by fate. Small note: I am a big fan of, video games, astronomy and ghost stories, so the story includes many references to them. If you find any reference that you cannot make sense of, please google it for clarification. For example, you'll see "Alpha Centauri" recurring in the story- it is a constellation of 3 stars- 2 big and 1 dwarf. This is my debut work, and I would appreciate constructive criticism.

World martial art

Legends are not born. They are forged — through pain, defeat, and unbreakable will. Leo, a boy from a small village in Nepal, always believed he was ordinary. But everything changed the day a forgotten evil awakened in the mountains — the Dragon Spirit, once sealed away by Leo’s own father. Kaito Jin, a rogue wielder of beast power, breaks the seal and unleashes chaos. Leo tries to fight, but he is powerless. His father sacrifices himself to protect him. That day, Leo loses everything. But he gains one thing — a reason to rise. Carrying the scar over his left eyebrow, the memory of his father, and two unimaginable spirits inside him — the Lion King (Guardian of the Gods) and the Phoenix (God of Fire), a power connected to his mother’s soul — Leo begins a journey across nations. In China, ancient masters push him beyond his limits. In Korea, he learns discipline, philosophy, and inner balance. In Japan, he encounters powerful rivals and a girl who slowly changes his life. In India, Indonesia, and other countries, he faces challengers, builds friendships, and discovers new forms of martial arts. From international tournaments to mysterious beast realms, Leo must face fear, rivalry, loss, and the uncontrollable powers within him. Because one day, he must confront Kaito again. Not as a weak boy… but as the strongest martial artist the world has ever known. This is World Martial Art — a journey of strength, growth, destiny, and the flame that refuses to fade.
