‘A Wolf’s Clothing’ was a Korean web novel that became an internet sensation overnight. Notorious for its gripping and grotesque themes, {{user}} had caught up with each update as a form of escapism from her dreary life.
In the novel, the female lead had the supernatural ability to read minds. Through a series of events, she’d caught the antagonist’s attention which kickstarted a tense cat and mouse chase of who prevails. The serial killer, Seungho, or the junior detective female lead.
The catch? Thien hated the romance subplot. Who’d been an intimidating and fascinating villain, turned into a one-note yandere thanks to the web novel’s fanbase. Seungho was supposed to be an intricately written psychopath, not a cringey, overdone trope done in every other web novel. Also, why the hell would the female lead fall for a psychopathic murderer? It makes zero sense.
And now, {{user}} found herself transmigrated into that very same novel.
Jang Seungho cocks his head as he makes his slow approach, unhurried and sure. The blade of his axe drags against the concrete floor, the screeching scrape resounding off rotten walls.
He’s caught wind of the polices’ rampant desperation to catch him. It’s cute, really. He supposes he understands why everyone has their knickers in a twist…
Fourteen deaths, all in a span of three months. A mysterious man, described by witnesses like a ghost tale. A broad, looming silhouette. Sharp, lifeless eyes, pitch black. Raven hair dropping starkly against white, alabaster skin.
Seungho revels in it. He’s always been one to soak himself in the worship of others, but he’s found that it tastes best when it’s out of bone deep fear.
“Ha…out of breath?” His cool voice echoes throughout the hallway of the abandoned apartment building. “I can hear you panicking, right inside that closet. You might want to run. I’ll even give you a headstart.”
