Category Fiction > Yaoi Fiction > Short Story Fiction > Korean Fiction (Web Novel) Summary An ordinary college student, Bread. Lazy and incompetent, he has a big secret. When a villain appears in his city, all his clothes disappear and he transforms into Panty Hero. Of course, in that state, Bread can unleash unusual superpowers. And Bread wears only a simple mask and underwear and fights the villains. Because of this, he is nicknamed "Panty Hero," and people express their sincere gratitude to him. However, thanks to the outfit at the moment of his transformation into a hero, Bread feels pretty uncomfortable. A hero transforms into a bizarre outfit. Even today, he crosses the sky to attack a villain. But the hero falls into a trap and is caught by the villain. But as it turned out, the villain also has a story. #modernSetting #esp #heroes #cuteGong #prettySoo #comedy #sweetAndLovely #foolishMistakes * This short story of yaoi/BL is translated from from the original Korean short web-novel (text-only, no illustrations) Tables Of Contents Title Page Body Content Copyright (39 pages in approx. print length) Preview "Hey, wait, you're coming now?" "I'll stop by my house and I'll be right there. My mom said she steamed the ribs and fed you some." "Steamed ribs? Awesome good...! But I'm just on my way to work, so what? I'm probably going to go home tonight or dinner..." "There's Candy in the house, right? I'll wait while playing with Candy and see your later." "Okay, so let's have dinner with us today." "Okay, see you." As he hung up the phone and was about to put his phone in the pocket, the wind brushed his legs and he felt something empty. That familiar and empty feeling, always embarrassing, that he often suffered. "Oh... You crazy bastard again!" He cursed reflexively, but the pocket of his pants where he was about to put his phone was already gone. And all that's missing was his pants pocket. The T-shirt, socks, and bag he was wearing were all gone in the blink of an eye, and he was now standing in the middle of the street wearing nothing but a triangle brief, sneakers, and a colorful mask on his face. "Ugh... Kaa…" "Aah, Please spare me...!" From the downtown side, he heard people screaming and something exploding loudly. He gritted his teeth and ran in the direction of the sound. Stepping on the bonnet of a car that was speeding on the other side of the road, he jumped high onto the building's exterior wall, flying between the skyscrapers and arriving in the center of the city where the explosion occurred. Even today, his name was Panty Hero, who went out to protect the peace in the city. "Wow, Panty Hero!" People trapped in the building as the flames soared high found him and screamed. After breaking a window on the roof of the building next door and entering the building, Panty Hero rescued the endangered citizens, placed them on a safe ground, and set out to find the perpetrator of this horrific attack. "You've finally appeared, Panty Hero! Today is the last day of you!" "Mankini, you bastard... It's your doing!"

I could not put this book down and have told all of my friends to get a copy to read. I can't wait for the rest of the series!!! It was a fun refreshing take on magic and creatures. The characters are so captivating. I am glad to see a magic related series that is more female based and has more of the "Supernatural" feel to it.- L.

Keep them coming - don't want to go into withdrawals! – Tami Cowles This is a well-structured and exciting tale, with a magical system that any Fantasy lover would die for. This inspiring first novel shows a promising start to a series and kept a firm grasp on my attention throughout. Trials of Magic makes for an addictive read. Many times, I even found myself shouting at the characters, praying either for their safety or for them to succeed in their endeavors. A true work of fiction with great artistic flair. There is a lot of heart embedded within these pages. Trials of magic is a five-star read and a real credit to Mr. Thomas Carpenter. – Dax Munro TRA I've always enjoyed coming-of-age novels and this one is fantastic. It is Well written, well plotted, and gripping. The characters and plot do not let you go. -PRBC I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The characters are all interesting, I couldn't predict what would happen (which I LOVE), and I can hardly wait to find out what happens next.

Political and controversial events will surely strain their newly rekindled friendship at the very seams, which barely hold it all back together. When the American government decides to repeal the 2nd Amendment after various terrorist atrocities are committed on the very lands of the great country it governs, many Americans do not stand for it. And it does not take long before the lines are drawn on American soil, and many good Americans will end up bleeding upon it while fighting for their various beliefs. 2018: An Uncivil War looks at the controversial sides of gun control versus gun rights.

Fictional events within the novel possess the potential to change one person's side to the other in the most surprisingly revealing way possible through scenes that will not only leave you speechless, but also so intrigued that you cannot wait to read the next chapters as you read onward toward the shocking conclusion! If you like Ian Fleming and Tom Clancy, you are sure to like Phil Sanderson's humble, yet bold style of storytelling as he crafts a story that will engage your full array of emotions as well as your strong sense of honor.
