∥[Notification] Minjun’s first believer is praying.... more>>

After eight years in the other world, what greeted S-class hunter Minjun was the side effects of dimensional travel and an incomprehensible notification. However, he only pays attention to it for a moment before deciding to hide his identity and live a lazy retirement life.

“Have you ever heard anyone say that you look like hunter Minjun, who went missing eight years ago?”

“But I don’t look like him.”

Yoon Soohyuk, an S-class hunter who admires him, keeps approaching him.

And then,

∥Name: No. 749 Bond Of Fate B

Ruan Ying, due to a brief “blindness” incident, was admitted to the hospital. After entering the hospital, what she heard most was the patients’ longing for Dr. Lu Yuan.... more>>

Gentle and meticulous, refined and restrained. Every aspect of him made people yearn to catch a glimpse of his charm. Ruan Ying was no exception; she was full of curiosity about him.

One day, Dr. Lu Yuan conducted an examination for her in place of a colleague. His fingers were warm, partly covering her eyes, and he whispered, “Relax and slowly open your eyes.”

“Can you see? Look into my eyes.”

Ruan Ying’s ears twitched as she fell into the soothing and melodious sound of his voice.

Her eyelashes fluttered, and her vision became clear. Why did no one tell her that Dr. Lu, with such a pleasant voice, could easily rival a big star in appearance as well?

Dr. Lu Yuan is a doctor in the First Hospital’s Ophthalmology Department. Due to his outstanding looks, he attracts many patients. However, he is devoted to his work and keeps a certain distance from women.

During a gathering, colleagues hopped into Dr. Lu Yuan’s car. To lighten the mood inside the car, a colleague casually turned on the car stereo. Before they could select a station, a soft and gentle female voice came from the speakers.
“Dr. Lu, when are you going home today?”

“Do you miss me as much as you did yesterday? If you do, please call. If not, I’ll be in the study tonight.”

Colleagues: “!!!”

Dr. Lu, we never knew you were like this! <<less

Jing Nanqing seduces Ye Beiyin from friends with benefits to being financially supported and living together, thinking she can easily come and go as she pleases. But she realizes that she is the one being deceived.... more>>

During the day, she belongs to the capitalists as a corporate worker, but at night, she belongs to herself. Nightlife includes, but is not limited to, going to bars, setting up stalls, doing part-time jobs, and casual ho*kups.

The person who seduces her during the day turns into a snake at night, entering her, entangling her, and biting her.

Does it feel good? The thick, milky w**te f**id fills her passage, blurring the boundaries between night and day for Ye Beiyin. The person under the bed is a sharp-tongued critic, while the person on the bed is a loyal companion.

A sharp contrast between a capital partner and a straightforward person who strives to improve in the workplace.

Female lead: Ye Beiyin (Yán)

Male lead: Jing Nanqing

1. Both the male and female leads are not virg*ns. They are normal young adults who have had past relationships. Please don’t ask if they are virg*ns anymore and respect the facts. Although it is not mentioned in the text, I wanted to clarify this in advance.

2. There are no villains in the story. Every person has their own perspective, so please do not insult any character. If you want to criticize, criticize the heartless author!

3. There may not be significant conflicts or intense plots. The intention was to write a silly and joyful story for a pleasant bedtime read.

Xie Jiaran deals with mild skin hunger syndrome, however, he also has severe mysophobia, to the extent that he even considers whether he has wet wipes on him before shaking hands with others. ... more>>

Thus, whenever his skin hunger happens to break out, he can only resort to sleep to numb himself. Fortunately, the symptoms are relatively mild to be considered painful.

However, all of this was mercilessly disrupted after Liang Sunian moved into the dormitory.

To his surprise, he actually showed no resistance to this person’s closeness. Even as Liang Sunian stood off the court, lifting the hem of his shirt to drink water after playing basketball, an irresistible urge to be tightly held in his arms surged within him.

As the sleep therapy failed, his skin hunger syndrome worsened.

…….

One late night, Liang Sunian, who was suffering from insomnia due to the heat, got up shirtless and went to cool off on the balcony. He appeared bewildered as he stared at Xie Jiaran.

“What?” Liang Sunian felt he was hallucinating due to the heat getting to his head.

How could his typically aloof roommate, even while casting such a glance that seemed like granting a favor, say such words to him?

Xie Jiaran fell silent for a moment. He repeated the previous words in his usual cold tone, trying to stay composed yet inevitably conveying a hint of resignation:

“Liang Sunian, could you please hold me for a while?” <<less

“My lord, what on earth are you thinking?”

Servil narrowed one eye and blew a kiss into the air.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the gaming industry has seen an explosion in popularity. One of the most popular games ever released is Mystery Maker, a VR RPG where players can create baffling puzzles in a virtual space and challenge other players to solve them.... more>>

As a promotional stunt for the game's upcoming sequel, eight real life great detectives have been hand chosen by Kurata Chikage, executive director of MegalodonSoft, to challenge each other to a match in a demo of Mystery Maker 2. Among them are Kamo Touma, a magazine contributor well known for his investigative work overturning false convictions, and his wife's cousin Ryuuzen Yuki, a recently debuted mystery novelist.

However, on the day of the demo event, the detectives are all drugged. When they awaken, they find their smartwatches are locked to their wrists and they are shown videos of their families and loved ones being held hostage. They are contacted by a Gamemaster, who tells them that if they wish to save themselves and their families, they must play a death game called "Delicious Death for Detectives".

As scheduled, the eight of them will play Mystery Maker 2's demo, and the Detectives will challenge the mu*der puzzles created by the mu*derer. If the Detectives are not able to reveal the mu*derer and their tricks before the time limit, all players will be killed. However, if the mu*derer is exposed, both they and their hostages will be killed. And if a Detective makes an accusation but gets even the tiniest detail wrong, they will be mu*dered by the Gamemaster's secret accomplice, the Executioner.

Now the only way for the eight detectives to survive is to expose the mu*derer and Executioner lurking among them, even if they must risk their lives and those of their compatriots to do so.

Which is an especially big problem for Kamo, because he's the one who's been chosen as the mu*derer! <<less

Ten years ago, a disaster struck, causing species to mutate, plunging the world into chaos. Two teenagers depended on each other for survival — and, against the odds, fell in love. In order to save Ye Lanzhou, Chu Chenli sustained life threatening injuries and fell into a coma for 10 years. But when he awoke, it was to a new world. One that, along with his former lover, had become unfamiliar. ... more>>

During the missing years, Ye Lanzhou became a revered leader, surrounded by others, leaving no room for Chu Chenli and no time to provide him with comfort or companionship. Chu Chenli didn’t adapt well to this new world, but he didn’t mind. All he wanted to do was to stay with his lover.

Until the hospital was attacked by mutant creatures, and the recently awakened Chu Chenli was too weak to fight back. In an attempt to save others, he became a hostage. Ye Lanzhou rescued him, but couldn’t help blurting out:

“Can you not be a burden?”

Chu Chenli remained silent for a long time.

“Okay.”

A mere few days after awakening, he disappeared from Ye Lanzhou’s world.

He never had the chance to tell Yelan Zhou how his resolve to see him again had allowed him to escape after ten years, surviving countless near-death experiences in that cruel, infinite world to return to reality.

Along with him, there was a companion that he experienced life and death with.

In the dark night, Chu Chenli dragged his injured body off the high floor of the hospital, leaping off and crashing into the embrace of that long-time companion of his.

Mu Yanshen caught him readily, whispering into his ear with a light laugh, “Li-ge, I’ve come to marry you.”

Chu Chenli closed his eyes and ruffled his hair, saying, “Don’t joke around.”

Mu Yanshen just smiled. “Just kidding.”

It was much later when Chu Chenli realized that he wasn’t joking—

Mu Yanshen was capable of deceiving the whole world, but wouldn’t lie to him.

-

When Ye Lanzhou met Chu Chenli again, he was in the middle of a mission, surrounded by monsters, having accidentally fallen into a trap.

Just as he thought he was done for, Chu Chenli descended from the sky.

After narrowly escaping from death, memories of their past intimacy flooded back to Ye Lanzhou.

However, this time, Chu Chenli didn't sacrifice himself to protect him as he had in the past. Instead, he stood next to his companion, regarding him as he would a stranger.

Ye Lanzhou looked up and met a cold gaze.

Mu Yanshen leaned on Chu Chenli with an air of practiced intimacy, gaze towards Ye Lanzhou as sharp as a knife, as if silently declaring:

“He’s mine.” <<less

Round, heart-shaped face, plump body, and wings unable to fly.
Connie Heart, a penguin divine being who has yet to awaken, was born with the mission of 'Salvation.'... more>>

[Where am I?]

In order to explore her own life, Connie Heart set out on a journey with her plump body. The place she arrived at happened to be the fearsome Barun Mountain, known for swarming evolved monsters.
There, Connie Heart encounters numerous monsters...

"Kikikiki! This lush and thick hair, free from worries about hair loss! Oh, my handsome face!"

Connie Heart, who considers herself the penguin's head, and

"Eek! Sir, my bones are broken again!"

The absurd and feeble skeleton legion, and

"Ogre, if you eat a human, you'll gain weight. If you gain weight, Duraan will be upset. But I want to eat."

Ogres always revealing their desire for food, and

"Fhuhahaha! Yety is flying! Everyone, move aside, kyahaha!"

The small and fluffy Yety, and

"Hweeee! The chameleon took my eyes, nose, and mouth again! My eyes, my nose!"

The snowman who always cries after losing eyes, nose, and mouth. Today, the paradise of creatures where humans dare not tread, Barun Mountain, is a bit strange and quite peaceful.

[This is bad. I need to escape quickly.]

Now serving as Duraan's head, Connie Heart sighed deeply.

"...... Head."

However, it wasn't just the baby penguin Connie Heart whose fate was tied to Barun Mountain. There was also a seriously cute seven-year-old boy. Dhiope, who made short sounds while hiding his identity.

"Is the head getting along with me? If I throw it away, it won't grow back, right? Because I'm a head collector."

But Connie Heart knows. That this little human, with maxed-out acting skills, is an ambitious and dangerous 18-year-old villain with plans to overthrow the world.

๑ ♡ ๑

"Dhiope. Are you okay?"

Attempting to lift the cloak to check his face, something from within pulled her with a strong grip.

It was only then that Connie Heart realized something was amiss. Under the unlit cliff, the arms encircling her waist were too sturdy.

The cloak moved slowly. It seemed as if it was contemplating or perhaps deliberately delaying time.

Then, with a rustle, a white and robust forearm emerged from the soft fabric. Broad shoulders and well-defined chest followed.

"Dhiope?"

It wasn't a child's body. Rising with undulating shoulders and well-sculpted muscles was something that...

"Dhiope?"

He was handsome.

Long, orderly eyebrows, a straight yet proud nose, clearly defined lips sealed tightly, eyes as chilling as the depths of the unknown. Beneath that, smooth, pale skin.

To Connie Heart, everything about him felt unfamiliar.

"Hello."

Even his simple voice.

"Nice to meet you, Heart." <<less
