by: 내츄럴향기 『Pressing this button will transport you into the world of the genre I write. (You can leave once the story is finished. But if it’s not completed, who knows.)』 A silly post that appeared on my social media timeline. The problem was that anything seemed interesting during exam period. I quickly pressed ‘Share’ and called my friends to chat, then I must have fallen asleep… I should have fallen into a deep slumber just like that. “Chirp.” What? “Cheep!” What?! Where am I?

“Thank you for calling Centerburg Bank and Credit account management. This is Leigh, how may I help you?!” For the millionth time since I started this job, I wonder how I got stuck here in my hometown, when all my other high school friends, even my old crush Donovan, managed to go on to do so many more cool things in way better places. “Hey, Leigh, how was your weekend?” A voice like smoke and velvet flows through the headset that soothes my Lycan ears. Butterflies and sparks make my cheeks flush. How is it possible for a Lycan to fall in love with a voice? *** Mackenzie thought her life working at the local bank was boring and simple until, suddenly, it wasn’t. Can such a simple love survive the return of an old flame, brutal fights with Shifters, and a violent mystery that rocks a small town? It will be a close call, but for Lycans, you can always press one. For Lycans, Press One is created by Meg Carlyle, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Because some Cinderellas wear boots. And some princes are just okay with that. "You're not a man," they all say and they're right. She isn't, and she wasn't trying to be. University isn't university when there isn't some drama involved, right? So, in comes Zenjee, a third-year university student whose sole objective was to graduate comfortably without shedding any light on her mundane existence. But things never go as planned, and she soon finds herself the centre of attention as a result of one unlucky encounter. Everything in her life comes crashing down the pit when she meets Raine, an obnoxious, homophobic disaster sent from hell, who just so happened to mistake her for a gay. The wheels of fate turn slowly, first comes hate, and what follows next is blatantly obvious. One is stubborn, and the other in denial, yet the two misguided souls can't escape from each other. "What's the cure for homophobia?" "Falling in love."

Minjae is just another otaku — a quiet seventeen-year-old who finds comfort in anime, manga, and the safety of his small circle of friends. His days are filled with school, gaming marathons, and avoiding reality. But when his mother’s hidden debts catch up to them, Minjae’s peaceful world shatters overnight. With loan sharks closing in and threats piling up, Minjae is forced into a brutal world of street fights, school gang wars, and underground politics — a world he’s painfully unprepared for. Surrounded by danger, Minjae is never truly alone. His best friend Hyunwoo, a loyal gym rat with dreams of becoming a street wrestling legend, and Jisoo Han, a lazy but sharp-witted fighter known for her deadly kicks, stand by his side. Later, they’re joined by Tuah, a charming and unpredictable Malaysian senior whose elegant Silat flow hides his lethal potential. But the streets aren’t forgiving. The four regional school representatives — Seok Jinwoo, Ryu Jaeho, Kang Dohyeon, and the legendary Choi Gyuhwan — dominate the city’s fight scene, and Minjae’s name is barely a whisper among giants. As Minjae fights his way up from the bottom, he discovers his family’s buried legacy: Subaekgyeon, a forgotten martial art that could change everything. Driven by guilt, friendship, and a desire to break free from his crushing fate, Minjae must rise — not as an anime hero, but as a street legend forged in real pain. But in a city where debts, betrayal, and power rule, can Minjae survive long enough to write his own story?

Hoshino Kaito wakes up in an unfamiliar world with no memory of how he got there—only to realize he's inside Love & Lies: Fateful Bonds, which is a high school romance visual novel he once played. But instead of being the protagonist, he’s just a minor side character: the main character’s best friend. In this world, he enrolled in Shirakawa Academy. This academy enforces a Prestigious Partnering System, where every student must find a romantic partner by the first semester of their second year—or be randomly assigned one. With only few weeks until the deadline, Kaito must navigate this system, trying to find loopholes in the system, and maybe he also find his partner. But when Fujimura Ren, the protagonist, receives a letter from Ayane, one of the main heroines, Kaito realizes that the world isn’t the same as the game settings anymore. If things keep changing, how much of the original story can he still rely on? And more importantly—what happens to a side character when the game starts breaking? With his future uncertain, Kaito must decide: will he simply follow the script, or will he carve out his own path in this new reality?

A self-proclaimed underdog, he joins his high school basketball team as a point guard, determined to prove that he has what it takes—despite lacking the raw talent of his teammates. Struggling to keep up with the more experienced players and constantly battling self-doubt, Ethan is ready to quit. That’s when something extraordinary happens. Just when he’s about to give up, a mysterious system activates, offering Ethan a set of abilities that gradually improve his game and mindset. With skills like "Basketball Sense," "Quick Step," and the power to stay calm during "Clutch Moments," Ethan begins to see his potential unfold. But the system doesn’t just change his game; it challenges him to change how he sees himself. As his skills grow, so does his confidence. Ethan must step out of the shadows of his more talented teammates, learning that leadership isn’t about being the best player, but being the most dependable when it counts. Along the way, he learns to trust his instincts, face his fears, and lead his team to victory in the most important games of his life. In Full Court Press, Ethan’s story is about more than just basketball—it’s about overcoming insecurities, stepping up when the game is on the line, and proving that the heart of a true leader lies in believing in yourself.
