Stories about scars, systems, myth, and the record left behind.

Cello Kim writes Korean web novels across modern action, urban fantasy, mythic science fiction, and post-human archive fiction. This site is a quiet home for the works: not a loud storefront, but a map.

About

A Korean web novelist building a long archive of connected obsessions.

The works move between assassins and secret societies, wounded places and supernatural relics, algorithms and souls, angel-language grimoires, and civilizations trying to remember humanity after silence.

This hub gathers the public-facing portfolio for Cello Kim. Some titles are complete or already published in Korean; some are being localized into English; some are intentionally running as quiet platform tests before deeper promotion.

The tone is archival on purpose: stories, traces, landing pages, and reading paths gathered in one place without forcing every work into the same package.

Modern actionAssassins, tactics, ancient societies, and the blade left behind to stop kings.
Textured fantasyPlaces as wounds, objects as records, and progression felt through pressure and scars.
Archive SFSystems, memory, machine witnesses, and post-human civilizations reading old traces.
