“The Northern Duchess.”... more>>

A ruler who dominates the frigid land with an iron fist. A ruthless slaughterer who spares no one, whether they be demons or humans.

There’s something peculiar about the way she looks at me. <<less

I am tired of being judged solely by appearance.
I wore the mask that they had made for me, showing only what those people wished to see.
Whenever I attempted to remove this forced mask, I was invariably met with such disappointment in their gazes.
As it was becoming increasingly burdensome, that’s when I met her.... more>>

Leila von Este.

Though she was born as the empire's only hyper-dominant omega,
She was entangled in the scandal of being 'the omega forsaken by the gods'.
Her unkempt and gloomy black hair, poorly maintained, framed her eyes…
Which shone like a beautiful rainbow but, tragically, could not see.

While her situation was indeed pitiable, to me, her misfortune became my sole refuge—my succor.
She was truly the perfect omega bestowed upon me by the gods.

...And it had to remain that way forever.
Even if it meant capturing her and locking her away should she dare to think of leaving my side. <<less

‘Anyhow … I think I transmigrated into a romance fantasy novel.’... more>>

The problem is—I opened my eyes in a wake room. Within a coffin. At the funeral of this body’s owner. To make matters worse, I had read so many novels that I couldn’t remember which one I was in.

‘Ta-da~ you thought I was dead, right? I was not!’

On the other hand, I think I’m a villainess. My family is cold-hearted, and the servants shrink and shun me, often crying while looking at the air next to me. But it doesn’t matter! I’ll exploit my master in romance fantasy to get rid of my villainess tag!

But then, I found a strange pattern.

“What exactly is this?”

[How to summon •••]
‘Is it summoning formation to summon something like spirits or dragons? That’s good. A villainess needs at least one ability to protect herself.’

“Meow~”

‘But why was I chosen by a three-eyed leopard-patterned cheese cat, rather than spirits or dragons? Well, it doesn’t matter because it’s cute!’

A monster lives in Count Rohanson’s household. A creature lurking beneath the skin of the late Lady Evangeline.

“I’m Gabriel, commander of Paralos Knights. I’d like to know more about young lady Rohanson.”

‘Knight Commander, pitch black hair, azure eyes … Gabriel must be the male lead!’

“How foolish. You don’t even know your place. I’m not interested in you.”

“It doesn’t matter. I’m just curious about you.”

‘How come? Aren’t I the villainess? Go find your partner, the female lead!’

My aim is to use my summoning circle to protect myself! I’ll also look after Pudding the cat and Jelly the werewolf.

“By the way … why does everyone keep trembling whenever they see me?”

A story about a heroine who thinks she’s in a romance fantasy novel and the unsettling events that happen to those around her. <<less

“I’d say it’s audacious.”... more>>

Kaiden looked down at Trinity trapped beneath his arms and gasped for breath.

Unlike the bold demeanor she had displayed in her counterattack, Trinity’s body was small and delicate enough to fit snugly in his embrace.

The moment he met her dark eyes, wide with surprise, Kaiden tightened his arms involuntarily.

Thick sinews bulged in his arms as he struggled to keep himself from collapsing onto her.

“I’d say it’s remarkable.”

His opposite hand, not touching the ground, cradled Trinity’s head. The palm held her soft hair, while the back of the hand was in contact with the harsh wintry chill of the ground.

Trinity shuddered as she squeezed his hand, the sensation unfamiliar but not unwelcome.

Kaiden’s hand trembled with hers.

“Perhaps, it might be both.”

Kaiden Calskronin is a member of the Magic Knights Order and has spent three years patrolling the borderlands before enrolling in the magic academy. He possesses unique magical attributes that no one else can duplicate. While chasing after the monstrous Trinity, he is reunited with Rosiana when he is forced to enroll in the Kantaean Academy of Magic.

Rosiana Delconda is a wind mage who can see spirits. Along with Luperne, the guardian spirit of the Escalona Empire, she battles evil spirits in the guise of the Rogue Trinity, often getting into trouble with Kaiden, who tries to capture her. <<less

During the springtime of the year I turned nine years old, a father I didn’t even know existed suddenly showed up.... more>>

“Why are you here, Duke? It was comfortable when we didn’t see each other.”
“You’ve been comfortable all this time, so isn’t it time for you to be uncomfortable, Your Highness?”

Turns out, my mother was actually the daughter of a tyrant. And my father was the Duke who overthrew that tyrant.

“O, great and busy Duke of Chelsiers. Did you look for me just to make me feel uncomfortable?”
“Is it so strange for a husband to look for his wife?”
“Do we still have that relationship? Ah, I forgot. Well then, let’s get divorced.”

…Can anyone tell me what’s going on with these two??

***

“I wish I was there to hug you when you were younger.”

It was a low whisper filled with a mixture of soft, warm and sad feelings.
I hesitated a little before I confessed.

“I often made Mom upset before. If I met you earlier, you might’ve hated me.”

Dad burst into laughter at my words. Even though… I meant what I said.
After a long laugh, he looked at me with a hint of a sorrowful smile on his lips.

“If we had met earlier, you would’ve called me Dad more. That’s enough for me.” <<less

But when I became her, it turned out to be a hopeless fate filled with disability, incurable disease, and even mental illness.

Still, since I knew the contents of the novel, I decided to try my best to avoid the landmines, and I was finally on the verge of success.

'My life is just beginning now!'

But then.

"Did you hate me so much that you fled to this faraway foreign land in that condition?"

"Huh?"

The male lead smiled brightly as he picked up the bloodstained handkerchief I had carelessly tossed aside.

"You said you'd stay by my side forever. You have to keep your promise... so I don't go crazy, right?"

It seems that the male lead has darkened because I ran away...? <<less

It was the witch’s last request.
She set out to find Asher to protect him and fulfill her promise, but the young and innocent child had become a stony, cold-hearted man.

A pair of purple eyes stared at her dryly.

”Dame Elaine, was it?”

However, Elaine draws her sword to keep her promise and seek revenge.
Before Elaine, the truth about the witch’s death begins to unravel…

Ah, why did I waste my life on this game? Why didn’t I actually quit when I kept saying I would, day after day, because the game was so frustrating? Is this my punishment for playing it?... more>>

Become the leader of a cult religion that has garnered a cult following!

I was a veteran player of [Conclude: Rise of the Othergod Apostle]. I quit because I was fed up with other players, but I still had lingering regrets for [Hapenesus] a God I couldn’t clear no matter what.

Then, an update notification for [Conclude] popped up. Hoping this might be my chance to finally clear [Hapenesus], I logged back in.

Hapenesus: My evangelist.

Hapenesus: You are the first of your kind.

SYSTEM: ‘Hapenesus’ grants you a hidden trait.

SYSTEM: Amazing achievement! You have charmed an ‘Othergod’ with just a conversation!

My excitement about possibly being the first to clear ‘Hapenesus’ was short-lived.

Mother Aelusia: My beloved child.

Mother Aelusia: No matter who you choose, I will find you.

Mother Aelusia: And I will be with you.

“No, what is this? Why is it suddenly turning into a horror story?”

SYSTEM: “Mother Aelusia’ is forcibly summoning you to the Dark Realm.

…And just like that, I found myself pulled into a game where I was supposed to be a leader of a cult religion. But surprisingly, the biggest problem wasn’t that I was going to become a cult leader.

A tr*shy princess who was obsessed with the big brother of the cute heroine and eventually poisoned the heroine to destroy her.

I made up my mind and prepared to run away. After saving the heroine, things went wrong.

“Those who touch her, chase them to the end of the world and destroy them.”

“Imperial family? The incompetent imperial family that makes Titania unhappy. They don’t matter anyway.”

“Hahahaha, they call me a mad dog. If a mad dog ​​bites people, is it crazy?”

Gee, calm down everyone.

Because I’m leaving to enjoy my dreams, hopes, and money in a seaside villa with beautiful waves! Everyone should be happy too!

I thought so…

“…I thought you were really dead. I…”

His golden eyes that contained me were engulfed in emotions I couldn’t read. I felt like I was going to drown just by looking at it.

“…It felt like an endless nightmare, Tia.”

Please don’t disappear in front of me like that anymore, while whispering earnestly. I was at a loss for words to say to him, who grabbed my hand as if tying me to go nowhere.

And…

“It’s okay to hate my brother! But, don’t hate the duke’s money!”

…The cute heroine who gives me the key to the underground safe containing all the treasures…

“Is everything bothering you? Then choose me instead. Don’t let it bother yourself, Duchess. I’ll be by your side anytime, anywhere.”
