The One Moon Chapter 5
The members and Mr. Seo said their goodbyes after Mr. Seo gave Junghwan some money to pay for the goshiwon room. He didn’t want a young kid to pay for the rent. Moonhan was already living alone and working for himself as a 16 year old. Using his money seemed like such an evil and selfish thing to do.
Being the oldest, Mr. Seo was less worried for Junghwan. But he did whisper something to him that was left unheard to the others before he left. “I wonder what he told him.” Han thought.
Moonhan lead the way to get to the dorms. Junghwan quietly followed from behind. Moonhan didn’t really know how to start a conversation so he was silent during most of the walk. Junghwan initiated the talks. Since he was going to be the latest member to join and final member, he wanted to know the potential and experience of Moonhan. As a potential leader, he was hoping the best for the group and wanted their debut to be perfect.
“Moonhan, have you ever had any experience in dancing or singing?”
“Oh, I did learn dancing for a little bit. But I stopped because of my working hours and needed more money.”
“I see, are you good?” Junghwan was straightforward with his questions.
“I’m not the best, but I can handle something like the performance you did today.”
“Oh, really?! That must mean you’re quite good! That dance is quite difficult. Out of 5, I’d say it’s about a 4. Only Woongie can make each part of the dance look seamless.”
Moonhan knew what Junghwan meant, seeing Woong dance, he understood how good of a dancer he was. Moonhan himself is not as good as any of them. He just enjoyed dancing so he managed to copy the moves but never make it look good.

“Nah, I can just copy the moves but dancing it like you guys is a completely different thing. You guys are very talented.” Moonhan smiled at that moment, admiring the kind boys talent. Even though he didn’t if he could trust them, he still admired them.
Junghwan seeing the slight smile, remembered what Mr. Seo told him.
“Now Junghwan, Han might not sound like it, but I think he’s the type of person to hide things so could you try to get to know him and see if he has a bad history or some sort? I can’t rely on appearances.
“...” Junghwan was surprised at his CEO. He is usually the unbiased type. “Must be the nerves since we have enough members for a group now”, he thought. Of course, as the responsible kid he is, he followed his orders. He also didn’t want a suspicious kid in the debut line up.
“Yes sir, I will try my best.” Junghwan said to Mr. Kim.
Junghwan who remembered the conversation, slowly asked questions to Moonhan.
Moonhan not noticing Junghwan was trying to get information out of him answered the questions one by one. Moonhan just thought it was the work of a leader to get to know his members and trainees to be able to help and control them.
“So, why do you live by yourself?” Junghwan asks as he is jumping on the white lines passing the street” .
Moonhan is not surprised by the question, it’s a common question after all.
“Well…” Moonhan didn’t want to reveal his private circumstances yet. Especially about his old family and orphanage life. He decided to tell a little lie.
“My family passed away.” Moonhan thought this was the best to say to avoid further questions about his family being asked.

“Oh… I’m sorry.” Junghwan feeling awkward could not continue to ask about family like Moonhan expected but switched the topic a little.
“Then, what’s that bruise on…y…..u….” Junghwan gradually got quieter and could not finish his question.”
Red like liquid rained from above. The 2 members looked up and saw a dead goat hanging on the clothes line above them. Junghwan grabbed his mouth and felt like was gonna vomit. While Moonhan was seen already on the ground clutching his head.

The Dungeon Calls for a Sage
Archimedes was the ego behind one of the most powerful dungeons ever created. He grew and developed his halls, filling them with powerful monsters and beasts, over the course of thousands of years. He was a grand structure of ten thousand floors which even heroes had failed to defeat. However, an Evil God had come from another world, calling himself the Demon King, and a party of heroes were sent to do battle with it. Through their victory, they obtained enough strength to breeze through Archimedes' dungeon like it was nothing. Forseeing the end of his life, and realizing how pointless his pursuit of power had been, Archimedes destroyed himself, taking the heroes down with him. Still, Archimedes felt despair that he had lived a worthless life as something as pitiful and futile as a dungeon. Sensing his regret and potential, the voice of the world presented Archimedes with the chance to start anew and live a more meaningful life. Thrilled and hopeful for the first time in eons, Archimedes accepted the offer, only to be reborn again as a dungeon core with not a single room or monster to his name. Just what was the meaning of this?! Archimedes couldn't figure out what the voice of the world was thinking. Somehow, he would have to draw a sage into his dungeon to figure it out for him. _______________________ DCS is now a member of the WriTEr's Pledge, which means I have sworn to see it through to a satisfying end.

Beneath No Sky: Chronicles of the Atmospheric Sector
After bringing themselves back from the brink of annihilation, humanity's future seemed bleak. However, it's remnants, throwing aside the old order and donning a new mantle of progress aimed to rise above their ancient disputes and go forward as one.

Believing this to be the start of a new age, they eagerly poured across the solar system and further beyond, greeting what space had to offer with hope and optimism. It was misplaced, however, for humanity's traditional quarrels soon resurfaced and engulfed a now interplanetary empire of many races.As the Earth Empire burned and an intense depression overtook the once optimistic people, some held out hope. They theorized that their problems were born of an inherent sense of home and, in order to rid humanity, now comprising of the Terrans as well as all the other known species of the galaxy, of this burden, decided to move far away from civilized space, into uncharted depths, to start anew. Some 200 years have passed since then, and those hopeful ones have finally found a place to settle on. Firmly planting their flag in paradise, they called this untouched land "Eden" and declared the beginning of a true new age, the age of After Eden.Trouble, however, seemed to still be hounding them, as barely three years after its founding, Eden finds itself at war with a seemingly uncommunicative and uncompromising enemy that far outclasses the odd pirates they were used to facing. A new era of peace, marked by an immediate conflict. Time will tell if Eden, the Grand Experiment, truly is as great as it's supposed to be. ---------------------------------------- This is a sci-fi, character driven, military space drama.
