Intending to Live a Carefree Life as a Villainous Heir, But Inadvertently Declared a Saint!?... more>>

“My path to domination starts here—!”

Ouga Vellet, the eldest son of the infamous corrupt lordly Vellet family, is a reincarnated individual. Having been taken advantage of due to his kindness in his past life, he now revels in the life of a mischievous villainous heir. From then on, Ouga spared no compromise, pushing the limits of “tyranny” to achieve his ambitions.

He wanted power. He decided to deceive the expelled female knight captain and recruit her as a pawn. He desired a harem. He believed that by helping the oppressed commoner girls, they would readily accept him. He even saw potential in operating within the underworld. His plan was to start by squeezing the bad guys. Connections were also crucial. He aimed to excel in the Magic Academy. Thus, he envisioned his days as a carefree ruler (+ effort) under the authority of his family... But things took an unexpected turn.

“Wow, Ouga-sama, you’re amazing!”

...Just for “arrogant behavior,” why does his reputation keep soaring without his control?

However, Ouga remains unaware. He doesn’t yet know that this evaluation will become something beyond his own management. Where will the misunderstanding lead? A self-declared saint due to a misunderstanding about being a villainous heir? The curtain rises on a life of misconceptions and misconceived saintliness! <<less

‘How did I end up in this body?’

I don’t remember signing a contract with the owner of this body, but when I woke up, I was trapped in this body with all my magic sealed away.

I have to act as ‘human’ as possible to avoid being recognized.

“So how many people have I killed with this hand? Hundreds? Thousands?”

“Uh… you haven’t killed a single person?”

“I haven’t killed a single person, and they call me an evil woman?”

In the winter of three years ago, the first locked room mu*der in Japanese history was committed.... more>>

All of the evidence pointed to the defendant. It was certain they were guilty. And yet, they were found innocent and released. Why? Because the crime scene was a perfect locked room no one from the police or the prosecutor's office could solve.

"Since the room was locked, it was impossible for the defendant to have committed the mu*der. It's no different than if they had a perfect alibi." That was the argument of the defense, and that was the argument the judge sided with.

The ruling sent a ripple throughout Japanese society. No matter how suspicious you were or how much evidence you left behind, as long as you managed to create a locked room that no one could solve, you were immune from prosecution. With the common anti-mystery fiction talking point "there's no reason anyone would ever actually commit a locked room mu*der" completely overturned, the rate of locked room mu*ders in Japan skyrocketed.

When the police proved unable to deal with the surge of locked room crime, the Ministry of Justice published an official categorization of all known locked room tricks as an investigative aid. When that proved insufficient, Division Zero of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, a police division dedicated solely to solving locked rooms, was created. When that still proved insufficient, locked room detectives, private investigators specializing in locked rooms, were officially licensed by the state and authorized to participate in police investigations. Calling a locked room appraiser, someone specializing in searching buildings for secret passages, is now a common first step in criminal investigations.

On the other side of the spectrum, locked room agents, assassins and crime planners specializing in locked room mu*ders, have become some of the most notorious criminals in Japanese history, and even a cult worshiping the scenes of locked rooms as a way to purify the souls of the deceased has made rapid inroads into Japan.

Hm? How did a high school girl become the greatest locked room expert in the world?

After a red meteor slashed through the heavens, human progress ground to a halt. ... more>>

Since that momentous day, humanity lost its ability to create rockets, nuclear weapons, airplanes, cars...

The towering pyramid of civilization, meticulously built from the achievements of modern science, crumbled into dust.

Yet, the catastrophe didn't stop there. The grey realm, following the arrival of the red meteor, like a ghostly reflection behind a mirror, dragged the civilized world bit by bit into the abyss of disorder.

In this new age, a human life was no more significant than a speck of dust, yet amidst the ruins, humanity's spirit shone as brightly as the stars.

Amid the crumbling edifice, observers could see a figure—an actor—defiantly standing on the wreckage of civilization, his red cloak as vivid as blood, his expressions flickering between laughter and tears. Behind him, the curtain of the era gently parted. With arms wide open, he whispered to all who would listen— "Let the show begin." <<less
