Aya’s found out that the guy she was interested in isn’t a guy at all?and she’s also realized that she just can’t keep her cool around Mitsuki! The two haven’t quite put a name on their complex, earnest feelings, but they only grow as the pair continues to bond over the music they love. With their senior year at hand, future plans are coming into question…and Aya’s thrown for a loop when a mysterious woman shows up and wants Mitsuki to go overseas!

During his student days, Kiyoka was invited by Yoshito Godou's father to join the Special Anti-Grotesquerie Unit. In this collection of short stories, the beginning of Kiyoka's military career and the nature of his connection with the Earth Spider are finally revealed! Also included is an episode from Miyo and Kiyoka's happy married life.

A DAY TO REMEMBER FOREVER... With the Gifted Communion dismantled, Miyo and Kiyoka can finally give full attention to their upcoming wedding, an event both exciting and nerve-racking. But on the eve of their happily ever after, Kiyoka is called away to neutralize a supernatural threat of the utmost urgency, and as the ceremony fast approaches, he is nowhere to be found. Clad in her bridal kimono, Miyo waits patiently for her future husband, putting her faith in him just like he has for her.

Two boys lived in a village: Yoshiki and Hikaru. The two did everything together...until the day Hikaru was encompassed by a mysterious light. That was when everything changed—Hikaru most of all. Yoshiki still wishes from the bottom of his heart to always stay by his side...but is there even a Hikaru left to be with? “Hikaru’s” sudden disappearance from the mountain has not gone unnoticed...and his presence in town has begun to raise suspicions as well. Spirits from the other side grow restless, while the people sensitive to them begin taking steps to uncover the truth. As Yoshiki continues to struggle with the true identity of “Hikaru,” he is reminded once again that his friend no longer shares his understanding of life and death—and that if you play with fire, someone is sure to get burned eventually...

HER LAST STAND... After Naoshi Usui takes over the military and imprisons Kiyoka on false charges, Miyo takes it upon herself to save her fiancé. However, just before Miyo rushes headfirst into the military headquarters to stage an ill-conceived rescue attempt, she comes across a boy who is the spitting image of Kiyoka. Claiming to be Kiyoka's familiar, the boy urges Miyo to head to the Usuba estate and rethink her plan. From there, Miyo carves her own path to reunite with Kiyoka, delving into her family's past and rallying the few allies she can still turn to. But will this be enough to stop Usui once and for all...?

After his victory on Jeju Island, the top guilds are all clamoring to recruit Jinwoo Sung, the strongest S-rank hunter and the hero of Korea?a far cry from the hapless E-rank hunter he used to be. As exciting as each new development is, however, Jinwoo’s eager to finally get some answers, so an invitation from the system to return to the double dungeon that changed his life is a welcome opportunity. He’ll have to put the visit on the back burner, though, because first things first?Jinwoo has a guild to establish!

LOVE AT A CROSSROADS…Though Miyo managed to escape Usui after Kiyoka came to her aid, the Gifted Communion continues to gain power and influence across Japan. Foreseeing that Usui and his organization will make another attempt to capture Miyo, Crown Prince Takaihito proposes that she and Kiyoka shelter with him in the Imperial Palace. But as Miyo adjusts to her new surroundings, she is taken aback by her feelings for Kiyoka, which have only intensified since her rescue. Caught between the fear of changing a relationship that already brings her happiness and the desire to express genuine love for her fiancé, Miyo wavers over finally opening up to Kiyoka...

“MAY YOUR COURAGE SAVE YOUR WORLD.” The Monarch of Destruction and the armies of Chaos have descended upon Earth, leaving nothing but death and carnage in their wake. The fate of humanity lies in the hands of the newly crowned Shadow Monarch, Jinwoo Sung. Who will be the final victor when the dust settles on this timeless feud? And more importantly, will there be anything left of the world to save?

CAUGHT BETWEEN FRIEND AND FOE… On their trip home from the Kudou family villa, Miyo and Kiyoka narrowly escape an ambush from the leader of the Gifted Communion, Naoshi Usui, who claims to be Miyo's father. Fearing that Miyo will be targeted again, Kiyoka insists that she accompany him to his workplace from now on and appoints a female soldier named Kaoruko as her bodyguard. Though Miyo is unsettled by the revelation that Kaoruko was one of Kiyoka's previous marriage candidates, the two women gradually warmup to each other and become friends. But can their bond survive the hidden threat coming for Miyo...?

“THIS WILL EITHER BE THE END OF HUMAN HISTORY OR A NEW BEGINNING.” The murders of several distinguished S-rank hunters rock the world, and Jinwoo knows it’s only a matter of time before the perpetrators strike again. The declaration of war comes earlier than expected, however, in the form of a colossal gate looming in the skies above Seoul. With the Hunter’s Association of Korea struggling to adjust to its new normal and the Monarchs picking off the top hunters one by one, will Jinwoo be able to keep everyone safe from the biggest disaster mankind has ever faced?

"MAY ALL THAT YOU WISH TO PROTECT BURN TO ASHES…” Having witnessed the staggering power of the Shadow Monarch, Jinwoo can’t wait to level up and reach those heights, and what better way to do so than to mobilize his army of soldiers against an S-rank dungeon’s worth of giants? Saving a country abandoned by the rest of the world has its benefits-international renown, the expansion of his guild, an invitation to the most prestigious hunter conference in the world-but perhaps the most unexpected bonus is a run-in with another Monarch who brings not-so-welcome tidings. If he’s to be believed, a war is coming that not even Jinwoo is strong enough to stop…

WHO AM I? A devastating dungeon break at his sister’s high school is quickly taken care of by Jinwoo...but not before he confirms that magic beasts no longer register him as a human. What’s more, the deceased Byunggu Min sends him a cryptic warning from beyond the grave: Jinwoo’s powers are more frightening than he knows. Left with too many questions and very few answers, his final hope lies in the key to the Cartenon Temple. Jinwoo’s determined to find out who?or what?he’s become, and to do so, he’s prepared to return to where it all began!

“IT’S SHOWTIME.” The news has made headlines-"Korea and Japan join hands to exterminate the terrifying magic beasts on Jeju Island once and for all!” It’s a monumental moment for the people of the country…and it has absolutely nothing to do with Jinwoo. Instead, the newest S-rank hunter’s number one priority is bringing his recently recovered mother back home where she belongs at last. When the situation on Jeju Island takes a devastating turn for the worse, though, will the country's top hunters be strong enough to save the day without him?

IS THIS MARRIAGE A BLESSING? OR A CURSE? Born talentless to a noble family famous for their supernatural abilities, Miyo Saimori is forced into an existence of servitude by her abusive stepmother. When Miyo finally comes of marriageable age, though, her hopes of being whisked away to a better life crumble after she discovers her fiancé's identity: Kiyoka Kudou, a commander apparently so cold and cruel that his previous would-be brides all fled within three days of their engagements. With no home to return to, Miyo resigns herself to her fate-and soon finds that her pale and beautiful husband-to-be is anything but the monster she expected. As they slowly open their hearts to each other, both realize the other may be their chance at finding true love and happiness.
