Genres: Psychological • Dark • Revenge • Dark Romance

⚠ Warning:

This novel is intended for mature audiences and contains intense psychological confrontations, bold themes, and characters who willingly cross forbidden lines.

------------------------------

"Every officer shall obey direct orders without question.

Any attempt to challenge the Supreme Commander's orders, or hesitate under the excuse of personal principles, shall be considered the first step toward high treason.

Punishment:

Revocation of military rank.

Immediate transfer to remote border outposts.

...or absolute obedience behind closed doors."

------------------------------

"Your breathing is uneven tonight, Staff Sergeant...

Is it the danger lurking in this dark alley that frightens you—

or the fact that your body is pressed against mine, hidden behind the law's back?"

------------------------------

"Don't worry.

I'll always be behind you.

The General is only trying to break your pride..."

------------------------------

"Hesitation is treason.

Obedience to my orders is the highest form of discipline."

------------------------------

"You have two choices, Staff Sergeant.

Carry out this mission and remain under my command...

Or I'll sign your transfer tonight to one of the remote border outposts.

Choose carefully.

Continue your military career here...

under my watch...

Or spend the rest of it buried beneath the desert."

------------------------------

"May I tell you something?"

"No."

"Excellent.

Then I'll tell you anyway."

He gestured toward the soldiers standing in formation.

His shoulders shook with a restrained laugh before it escaped his lips.

Leaning back against the wooden chair, he tilted his head, trying to catch his breath.

"I swear I'm trying to be respectful...

But every time I look at them...

and then at you...

I can't help thinking of Smurfette."

------------------------------

"The greatest mistake a soldier can make...

is believing the enemy is standing in front of them."

------------------------------

"Look at me when I'm speaking to you, Staff Sergeant.

I hate feeling like that wall has your attention more than I do."

------------------------------

Her eyes froze on the document for a long moment.

Then the corners of her lips curled into an involuntary smile.

"Finally..."

She slowly lifted her gaze to meet the eyes of her friend, who stood before her with her head slightly tilted, sympathy written across her face.

With tearful eyes, she gave a slow nod.

Stepping closer, she rested a gentle hand on her shoulder.

"I know how desperately you wanted this transfer...

But Seoul is a den of wolves, Oda..."

------------------------------

"There are no feelings allowed inside the base.

So they used regulations instead of confessions...

and punishments instead of kisses."

------------------------------

"He believed he was hunting a rebellious prey.

She believed she was slipping into a wolf's den.

Neither of them realized...

the abyss had room for them both."

------------------------------

"Article 44:

The Area Commander holds full authority to reassign elite officers and personnel to exceptional missions without approval from the Ministry of Defense, whenever operational secrecy requires it."

------------------------------

A few quiet knocks at the office door were enough to make her body go rigid.

Her heartbeat accelerated so violently it threatened to shatter the silence.

Her shallow breaths rose and fell against his chest.

If anyone found her inside the General's office without her military jacket...

Her career would be over.

His hand slid around her waist, tightening its grip until every attempt to move was impossible.

He lowered his head slowly.

His broad shoulder swallowed what remained of the dim office light.

His breath brushed the side of her neck.

His lips stopped only millimeters from her ear.

"Your breathing is going to expose us...

Where has your military discipline gone...

Staff Sergeant?"

------------------------------

"I'm afraid."

Her voice never trembled.

"But I do not obey my fear."

------------------------------

"Article 12:

Any unofficial contact between senior and junior ranks outside authorized operations shall be classified as a Level One Security Breach."

------------------------------

"Every officer shall obey direct orders without question...

Any attempt to challenge the Supreme Commander's orders shall be considered high treason."

"I'm not an officer."

------------------------------

"They say that if a woman is loved by a man who holds death in the palm of his hand...

Death itself will never dare approach her.

Rejoice...

For you are now immortal beneath the protection of the abyss."

------------------------------

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED 🎖️

By order of High Command...

The introduction has officially come to an end.

After three years away from writing, I return tonight wearing a new military uniform—and with a story unlike anything I've written before.

I hope this descent into the abyss will be worth your wait.
