“Hunt: ‘I bought you.’... more>>

Ari: ‘I was bought by you.’

This is the land of the 【New Great Nation】 where witches and humans intertwine—.

One day, Hunt Duckarts, a nobleman, buys an unknown girl from the impoverished slum city of 【Stova】, which is the lowest-tier city.

The girl has a peculiar appearance, and a worn opera glove is unnaturally placed on her left hand.

Upon seeing the girl, he becomes certain.

‘Finally, I’ve found it. The key to reaching “that woman.”‘

The girl later comes to know.

His desire is to find the “Witch’s Limbs” and, moreover, to kill the “Witch of the Blue Rose.”

And to achieve that, he intends to use the girl’s power, as a vengeful man.

What exactly is the “Witch’s Limbs” he speaks of?

And why does he vow revenge against the “Witch of the Blue Rose”?

The girl named Ari, given a name by Hunt, was bought only to be exploited by him.

However, gradually, amid the bewilderment and fear she felt towards him, Arii begins to experience emotions she has never felt before…?

This is a story of a young fallen nobleman who lives for revenge and a lonely girl, a journey that will change their destinies—.” <<less

For two years, I've been diligently working as an adventurer while hiding the fact that I'm the fourth prince. It seems I've accidentally made advances on a female adventurer whom I've been adventuring with for a long time (cue awkward comedy). And to make matters worse, the woman, Anri, has been disguised using a magical tool called "Disguise" and her true identity is the princess of an enemy nation. Similarly, I've been using a disguise as well. Anri's disguise has been lifted, but mine hasn't. I'm the only one who knows she's a princess.... more>>

This is a mysterious world where a magic called the "Miracle of God" exists. Am I the only one who realizes the infinite potential of this strange power called magic? Well, if that's the case, why not live an interesting life with this power?

...However, due to the magic I secretly learned, a certain "suspicion" is cast upon me. A great commotion suddenly erupted in a small village called Rish Village... As a result, I was ordered by the feudal lord to attend a local magic academy.

While attending the magic academy and taking the first step towards my dream of becoming an adventurer, I get involved in the kidnapping of a duke's daughter, play around with curses, and fantasize about getting rich with alchemy, all while graduating from the academy's junior division.

Then, I was supposed to attend the magic academy in the royal capital. At the academy, I'm called a prodigy, earn a grand title like "Curse Breaker" by making money with curses, and live with two girls. Unexpectedly, a strange ball of light settles in, and my life takes an unforeseen turn.

While engaged to three girls, I finally succeed in generating Orichalcum with alchemy in secret and become a secret billionaire!

The boundless universe was filled with all sorts of wonders.... more>>

I, Chen *Ping'an, only have one sword, to move mountains, turn the seas upside down, suppress demons, deal with gods, pluck stars, break rivers, destroy cities, and open the heavenly abode!

My name is Chen Ping'an, Ping'an* of Peace, and I am a swordsman.

The Midland world was full of wonders.

In the center of the world, there was a scholar who had once used a sword to slash out a waterfall of the Milky Way. This was the person he was the most proud of.

At the edge of the East Sea’s cliffs, there was a nameless Daoist who was unwilling to ascend to the peak of a mountain. He only wished for a cool breeze to brush against his face.

In the Western Pure Land, there was an old monk who liked to treat people to chicken soup and tell stories.

In the southern border of the Wilderness, there was a blind painter who controlled golden-armored puppets that were as tall as mountains to move the hundred thousand mountains, creating an embroidered picture.

An impoverished youth who grew up in the north. One day, he saw tens of thousands of Sword Kinesis Immortals above him, like a swarm of locusts crossing the border.

He wanted to see for himself the scholar that the storyteller had mentioned, the surging tides of the East Sea, the vast swamps of sand in the west, and the majestic mountains of the Southern Wasteland.

Thus, one day, the youth picked up the wooden sword and began to descend south.
