Ilya, a rising star in South Korea’s entertainment industry, is adored by millions for his perfect looks and charm. But beneath the glitz and glamour lies a broken soul. Haunted by dreams of death and suffocating under the weight of fabricated lies crafted by his agency, Ilya struggles with severe insomnia, suicidal thoughts, and an unshakable sense of emptiness.
During an outdoor shoot at a secluded jungle location, Ilya encounters a mysterious, wild man who behaves more like an animal than a human. Drawn to the stranger’s raw strength and innocence, Ilya impulsively decides to take him in, naming him Nero. What begins as a strange companionship soon blossoms into something deeper as Nero becomes Ilya’s anchor, protecting him from a world rife with betrayal, greed, and unseen dangers.
But Nero is no ordinary man. Supernatural forces surround him, and as strange, otherworldly occurrences escalate, Ilya is forced to confront a shocking truth: Nero is not human but a demon born from darkness.
As their bond deepens, secrets of their shared past life resurface, revealing a promise made centuries ago—a promise that defies death and time itself. However, the path to love and redemption is fraught with peril, as the strongest devil, who once tore them apart, returns to claim what he desires most: Ilya.
In a world where trust is fragile and love comes at a cost, will Ilya accept Nero for who he truly is? Can they overcome the shadows of their past to rewrite their fate?
Stranger That I Know: The Forgotten Promise is a supernatural BL romance that weaves love, mystery, and reincarnation into a story of rediscovery and redemption.

    Great story that even those who dont know baseball can read😉 perfect english, which is a bonus compared to other novels out there. Good charachter building and moderate pace of the story with emphasis on emotions rather than the usual level up and getting stronger theme of many other novels. A great change which i hope many more will appreciate💕No bad feedback to give to you author, I love it all👍🏻

    just like his other stories this one is nicely done as well. oddly though the more I read of this story the more I find self not really caring about the mc and the story itself. I am really interested in the other side, the people with the systems. is there any chance we could get a story from their side or maybe a new story. a story with systems with glyphs on people. idk this story is nicely done but for some reason does not hold my attention like your other stories have.

    Doesn’t really make sense. You’re using gender wrong in this context. A second gene of some kind would make more sense.

    Early chapters are good but later ones started to taper off and what you read on the earlier chapters that got you interested starts to go down the drain. Character development was good but it got annoying and repetitive in later chapters.Some later chapters starting from 50 seemed to be forced, I don't know if it is due to some changes but it got dull later on too.

    First of all, do ignore all the comments while reading.It's funny how people are okay with even worst plot holes  in your standard xianxia but are complaining about it in a Original.He's a 15 year old sheltered kid. And you all bloody expect him to be some sort of strategic genius? He is basically sentenced to death and is somehow managing to etch out his livelihood. What are you even expecting? You expect him to live in forest and like all Xianxia MC earn multiple level ups? He's 15 years old. It's that age when you were not even out of school. He should have stayed in the forest as he was ready to do so as a guardian? He was indoctrinated to believe that they are protectors. He himself claimed that he didn't knew that even demons had hierarchy. He realised that he was unprepared. Above all, earlier he was ready to give his life because of his wish to protect humanity. Why should he do so when he himself has been betrayed? And would he really be able to cultivate properly in a forest? Use some common sense.And everyone asking about his hate for humanity? It might have been exaggeration or something planned for the future. Why are you expecting something that was mentioned in the summary to happen with first few chapters? And then you complain that his hate was too sudden. Now author is trying for a slow build, and you idiots are questioning it every single chapter. The Synopsis is supposed to be for the whole story and not just the prologue as many people here seem to think.If you have problems, tell the author about it, instead of complaining and whining every chapter : What do you think went wrong, what could be corrected, what did you expect.And once again he is a kid, not a superman hunter. He is doing what he could. And yes, his plans for revenge seems half-hearted, but what does he even has to lose? People believe him dead or want him dead, basically a carte blanche to kill him. He can't just go back to the academy, and live there. Of course he will plan for revenge!Anyway, I am barely 20 chapters in but all the mindless idiots were annoying me with half though comments every chapter.And if you all have so many problems, fucking write your own story, instead of complaining of what YOU want. It's his story.If he wants he can make the MC a girl and kill him be dropping the moon on him. You can't do ANYTHING. It's his property. So stop acting like it's his previlage to wrote for you.So signing off And sorry for the rant.Will give a proper review after 100-150 chapters in.And don't mind the idiots. Just write what you want. But do read the comments for ideas or two. Some people honestly want to help you and criticise for a reason. Others just want a reason to complain.

    this was indeed said and it sums my thoughts too about your book: I don't agree with those who commented before me. Why is the novel confusing? Why is it a mess?Maybe it is if you read a novel for preschoolers your whole life your brain cells die over time. I don't know, I just speculating. But it's a fact that if you don't use it you lose it. Maybe some ppl lost it.Anyway, this novel is simple. It's a sci-fi-type novel of intergalactic beings. A world with a very high level of technology.The protagonist was indeed sent back in time a week before the start of an intergalactic game that opens for menkind. This game seems to be the hope for the future of humanity and his beloved sister. He takes his knowledge from the future and makes the most out of it. What is interesting is that he does not have 100% of his memory and sometimes unforeseen things happen.Now my review.I like the story actually the author said it starts slow but to me, it's full of things that make me curious and it's not slow at all. for me slow is when a story is annoyingly boring, when nothing actually happens. The story is not a fighting everybody every second type of novel. which I like.90% of the story so far happens inside the game. But I know there is a world outside the game the author has not really touched upon yet.Now, this seems to also be a cultivation novel??? So I don't see where that is going to fit well in a sci-fi gaming environment that is my only concern about this novel because now everything is about stats and happens inside the game. So will it all turn onto the dao? Immortals? Flying on a sword and searching for the pinnacle of life? Going against the heavens? IDK? I have not gone too far yet for me to know that. I hope It does not become a Chinese face slapping showdown.
