Li Fanfu fell asleep in class and woke up to find that familiar car brands were all gone.... more>>

There were no BMWs or Audis, no Land Rovers or Bentleys, no Porsches or Ferraris...

Even domestic cars had regressed by ten years, with the domestic market dominated by foreign capital.

Even more absurdly, there was now an Xapp on his phone, with powerful technology and tools that came with black technology, even capable of directly exchanging car production lines!

With his phone filled with black technology, Li Fanfu declared war on all the car manufacturers.

"It's not that I'm targeting anyone, but what I mean is, everyone here is rubbish!"

Fish can't live without water, flowers can't live without the sun, luxury cars can't live without beautiful women—how can life go on without showing off? <<less

Some games require agreeing to this statement in order to play.

Even if it's not necessary for the game, the game typically begins with a similar disclaimer guiding the player through the precautions.

Although the advantage of a game is the 'immersion' that no other medium can match, starting with such a statement disrupts the immersion from the beginning despite everyone knowing the work is fiction.

There is no mandatory need to include such a disclaimer, so why do it?

It is likely to emphasize a fact that everyone should always remember.

[The purpose of fiction is not to dictate beliefs existing in reality.]

This message is for the developer themselves.

[Nothing in fiction can replace reality.]

This message is for the players who will share the journey of the work's story.

So.

Do you agree?

The man with tattered clothes and an old sword said, "So, I *can* kill."

He did not have any particularly memorable appearance.

He was likely not a well-known person, at least, not to the mercenary he was killing.

The important fact was that the man who had been stabbed by the worn-out sword was now dying in front of him.

"Ugh..."

When the man pulled the sword out of the mercenary, the mercenary's legs gave way, and he fell to his knees. He no longer had the strength to resist.

He wanted to raise his arm to swing his sword, but he didn't have the strength to do so. He gritted his teeth and wanted to cast a spell, but he lacked the focus to do so.

"Why... you... how?"

Thus, the mercenary chose to give up on resisting and opened his mouth to speak.

Why had the man suddenly attacked him? He had only seen him collapse and moved him to a nearby cave.

What kind of person, what kind of thoughts had led him to do this as soon as he woke up?

The mercenary was so curious that he asked the question.

"How fascinating."

The man stroked his chin as he stared at the dying mercenary.

The sight of the man in his worn-out clothes pondering was somewhat terrifying.

Soon, as if he had reached a conclusion, the man broke his silence.

"I never knew I could attack an NPC. Is that how the game is made?"

"...What?"

The mercenary couldn't understand the man's words.

NPC, not knowing an attack would work, game. He couldn't make sense of any of the words the man said.

Having spent his whole life living as a mercenary according to his "setting," he could never understand what the man was saying.

'No, you must respond properly. Properly—'

But he couldn't continue his next words or even think about the meaning of his response, and the mercenary's consciousness began to fade.

A killing driven by nothing but curiosity, with no reason.

That was the first death experienced by NPC Aiden Oliver. <<less

Also known as 'Dragon's Promise,' according to Da Feng himself: 'It's a story about a dragon wanting to marry a bride, but being deceived by a spirit to search for treasure...'... more>>

Legend has it that every hundred years, an evil dragon comes to the mortal realm and takes away a princess as his bride.

Legend has it that when the gods departed from the world, they buried their most precious treasures somewhere, along with their deepest love.

Another hundred years have passed, and the young future Dragon King, Kenken, comes to the mortal realm to marry a bride, only to be besieged by the Grand Mage and the Knights Templar. In order to successfully marry his bride, Kenken mortgages his ancestral necklace to the Prince of the Elf tribe, Grantina, hiring him as an assistant to defeat the Knights Templar.

This necklace is actually the key to unlocking the treasure of the gods.

The young Dragon King, with intentions to marry a bride, and the 'ulterior motive' Elf Prince, set out on a journey for their respective wishes.

Will there be a bride?

Will there be treasure?

Although legends and reality always have a little difference… <<less

They met during the most confusing and painful time of their youth, and even now that they are adults, they have always been by each other's side. Their friendship was strong and stood the test of time like armor. But underneath that thick armor, Ji Sunwook nurtured a love that was not just friendship. Driven by the desperation to leave no evidence as the sole driving force behind his unrequited love.... more>>

He had thought he could hide it for the rest of his life, until Lee Jihoon asked in the fall of his twenty-nine.

"Don't you think it's even stranger that I've never heard you talk about women you've dated all this while?"

Realizing that he could no longer hide it, Ji Sunwook meekly confessed that he was dating a man and finally put an end to their relationship with the confession he had been putting off.

Lee Jihoon, who came to catch Ji Sunwook, denied that conclusion. He said that Ji Sunwook didn't love him, so this couldn't be the end for them. Not wanting to believe it, he blocked Ji Sunwook’s way out saying he would prove it.

"What kind of coward abandons the one he loves and then runs away?"

Guided by Lee Jihoon's firm hand, the two stood on a road they had never been on before. Only when standing at the edge of friendship from which no one can retreat did they realize that they were facing something that made them uncertain whether they were proving that it was love or proving that it was not. <<less

Many years later, facing the cover reporter of Time magazine, Yi Jiayi would recall the distant afternoon when the head of the serious crime unit took her to see the body...... more>>

At that moment, she heard the wails of the deceased, saw the face of the mu*derer, and gained the ability to mentally revisit the crime scene.

From then on, Hong Kong had one less civilian policewoman who spent her time gossiping over tea and dating after work, and gained a shining star in the police force who solved every case she encountered.

Head of Serious Crime Unit: How did you know he was the mu*derer!?

Yi Jiayi: Because it was a rainy night (omitting the reasoning process, 800 words), so there is only one truth...

The mu*derer trembled, his face turned pale, speechless, surrendered, and resigned himself to his fate.

Yi Jiayi thought: I'm sorry, all of the above was made up.

As the saying goes, explanation is just a cover-up, and a cover-up is just storytelling!

Solving a case is like solving a math problem; others derive conclusions based on known conditions.

She just knows the answer directly, and the process of solving the problem relies entirely on fabrication...

Acting, pretending to be a detective, deceiving the mu*derer... resorting to all sorts of extremes, it's really difficult!

...

Ming Pao Reporter: The police force in Hong Kong calls you "Female Zhuge", saying you are both intelligent and close to supernatural. What do you think, Officer Yi?

Yi Jiayi: Haha, I'm just an (extraordinary) ordinary person.

Reporter: It's said that your home was vandalized by two thugs, and even the Flying Tigers were mobilized.

Yi Jiayi: Haha, that's just the daily routine of righteous officers protecting ordinary citizens.

Hong Kong Daily Reporter: It's rumored that the sons of Hong Kong's wealthiest, the rising young stars, and... are all pursuing you? Which one do you prefer?

Yi Jiayi shivered at the thought of the wrath of the Jealous King, not daring to be careless. She sat up straight, facing the camera, and said firmly:

"It's all rumors! As a detective dedicated to the cause of justice, my only concern is to uncover the real culprit and ensure the safety of the citizens. I have no time for romantic affairs." <<less

From school uniforms to wedding gowns, a love that turned into nothing overnight, the betrayal of her boyfriend left Song Yu in despair.... more>>

Watching the head of the serious crime unit talking to someone at the crime scene, she had a new idea.

If she couldn’t be his wife, then she would be his stepmother.

He had once shielded her from a knife, helped her at work, and always protected her in dangerous situations. He was mature, stable, restrained, and had never been rumored to be involved with anyone else.

Why not—

Wiping away her tears, she walked over…

At first, she pursued him with a mindset of revenge, but as the days of chasing him went by, she gradually found herself falling in love with this man.

I Possessed an extra rabbit in a Ropan novel, so I decided to be the guardian of ‘Kyle Roden’, a black hearted man abandoned in the polar region.... more>>

Kyle tried to kill the male lead who took away the female lead he loved.

He was a wolf banished to the polar region and was the villain of the original novel.

“I’ll give you whatever you want, so take me home with you.”

However, when he went to the female lead, he was abandoned and eventually died at the hands of the male lead.

I couldn't let my favorite end up like that.

“I will be your guardian, so come with me instead.”

I honestly didn't intend to be the lover of Kyle.

It's just about opening his eyes to the presence of other people not just the female protagonist.

The goal was to make him let go of his obsession with the female lead and deviate from the original ending.

But despite all my efforts, I couldn't change his mind.

In the end, I gave up and tried to leave his side..

“You’re leaving me?”

There was something strange about Kyle's appearance when he came to see me. He stood in front of me and spoke with cool eyes shining.

“You can’t lure someone and then get rid of them like this.” <<less

"Your Highness! Contract with me, too! If you do, I'll make a potion that's good for your body every day!"
"Sorry, but I don't want to make a contract with anyone ever again."

Theodore Anthem, a boy who died and was reincarnated without knowing it, was hoping to live a carefree life this time, but he was (unintentionally) expected to show his talent and was admitted to Chronos Magic Knight Academy.

Theodore, who had been thinking of living a carefree life, was simply unmotivated, and skipped the first important exam after enrolling... and started at the bottom of the rankings at the academy.

However, when making a contract, one must read the terms carefully...

"I, 【 Vasylisha, 】propose a 【 Binding Contract.】"

"I, 【 Todd Van Drake...】"

"What? Todd Van Drake?"

"...accept the 【 Binding Contract! 】"

Vasha, unaware that Todd is both a vampire's enemy and a renowned vampire hunter.

"You... aren't you a high-ranking vampire?"

"... Did you notice that?"

"No wonder! A high-ranking vampire wouldn't consider making a mere human brat their familiar!"

"What do you mean by 'brat'..."

Todd, realizing too late that Vasha, whom he thought to be a high-ranking vampire, is just a lower-ranking one.

They become reluctant companions due to the existence of an unknown letter.

But is it just because they are enemies?

Despite being the closest relationship one could have in the world, Todd, who is sharp and aloof towards everything in the world, doesn't easily open his heart to Vasha.

Yet Todd is still young.

Until Todd grows up, there's time to slowly become friends!

While Vasha tries to raise this stubborn enemy...

Can they each achieve their goals? <<less

"Yep, this totally an impossible game, right?"

Thrown into a parallel world by divine intervention after being killed by a falling iron pillar, a boy finds himself in a world that's more like modern fantasy than your typical Isekai fantasy. Earth had suddenly sprouted dungeons, turning it into a "parallel Earth" from a certain point in time.

Now in this world, the boy, Gray, faces the challenge of conquering the so-called "Five Great Dungeons" as a trial from the gods. But the abilities bestowed upon Gray are honestly weak.
