“It’s just that if you want to go above the sky, you need a complete system of advanced technology, a whole set of related research institutes, the most advanced science laboratories, and a big government that can coordinate all sectors.” It would require tens of thousands of different auxiliary manufacturers to supply the best components, millions of high-level intellectuals to contribute their minds to this purpose, and countless numbers of wealthy people who dedicate their wealth until the end.” “In short, it would take an abundance of resources from the world and a great civilization to accomplish it.”

The protagonist, Yuki Midou, was summoned to a world as a hero. He is the son of a father who was descended from the bloodline of the so-called “Gods,” and is actually considered to be close to the “Savior” known as the “End Child”. He is also a reincarnation of a hero from the great divine era. However, due to his father’s failed upbringing, he grew up to be an incredibly troublesome monster.... more>>

He has learned only vulgar abilities, and his fiancées, who possess terrible abilities, continue to gather around him. Not only is the world he was summoned to being destroyed, but also the world he originally belonged to.

Despite the fact that the “Final Time,” which is the merging of the world he was summoned to as a hero and the world he originally belonged to, has begun, he remains unchanged and continues to cause trouble and run away.

Asch＝Dahl, a Necromancer who had lived for over 200 years, is an incomparably good-looking youngster. However, he can’t read the room, he’s narcissistic, he provokes people spontaneously, he hates losing, and he’s selfish. All in all, he has a bad personality.... more>>

Because of that, he neither has friends, nor is he popular with the ladies. However, because the person himself has a needlessly strong mental fortitude and positivity, he doesn’t reflect on it at all.

What suddenly came into such Asch＝Dahl’s life was, a request from Hogner Magic Academy’s Board Chairman for him to be teacher. Intrigued, he accepted the job……in search of his future lover.

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.

The protagonist, Kasumi Kuzushiro, is an introverted, somewhat cynical high school student who loves mysteries. Kasumi often finds himself dragged along on bizarre journeys by his flighty childhood friend, Yozuki Asahina. Due to their staggeringly bad luck, these trips often leave them in the wrong place at the wrong time to be caught up in locked room mysteries. Fortunately, another of Kasumi's childhood friends, Shitsuri Mitsumura, is the greatest locked room expert in the world, and can always discover the truth.

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

It's simple.

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

“The black-bellied beauty gong × the proud seductive emperor shou”... more>>

Li Qingyun is a cruel and foolish king who is notorious for committing all kinds of wicked acts in the Kingdom of Yong. After falling into the water, he woke up and discovered that he was actually the cruel emperor scumbag in a heart-throb novel.

In the plot: He destroyed the protagonist shou’s country, trapped him in the harem, broke his pride, and used all sorts of methods to obtain the protagonist shou. In the end, he was killed in prison by the heartthrob protagonist shou and a group of dog-licking cannon fodder gong—the country was ruined, the family was destroyed, and he died with his eyes open1.

T/L note: 1 死不瞑目: to die with remaining grievances

Li Qingyun looked at the protagonist shou, Dugu Li who had his country destroyed by him and was punished to kneel in the snow, then fell into deep thought. He (Li Qingyun) decided to change his methods, treat Dugu Li well, send him warmth, and change Dugu Li’s hatred for him. In the end, Li Qingyun successfully embraced the beauty.

“A-Li, I won’t force you to do things you don’t want to do anymore. Why don’t you smile at me?”

“A-Li, I will give you as much freedom as possible. Are you happy?”

Liu Yu woke up and discovered that she had transmigrated into the novel she read before she went to sleep.... more>>

She became the vicious stepsister of Cinderella, the protagonist. Early this morning, she had let her cat bite her sister’s Eurasian collared dove. At night, she had ordered someone to gouge out the eyes of a helpless young man. The young man turned out to be the reincarnation of the God of Light!

Her future was bleak, her blood will be s**ked dry, and then she will be hung. Liu Yu weighed her options:

1. The Duke of Dark Night was already smitten by the beautiful and kind Cinderella.

2. Prince Carlos has been searching all over the world for the owner of the crystal shoe. She should give up on him.

3. Only the God of Light had yet to fall for her younger sister’s charms.

Liu Yu looked at the young man who just had his eyes gouged out because of the original owner of the body. He had lost his memory and was currently in a dire strait. Liu Yu used a high-pitched voice and said, “My God! How could someone do something so vicious to you?”

The helpless young man: “Are you the one who saved me?”

“Yes.”

Lu Yan lives in the most horrific and absurd world.... more>>

People here live in harmony and contentment and were oblivious of all paranormal occurrences.

People here were sacrificed to the living, and the children were eaten like lychees—first the skin was peeled off, then the soft flesh was nibbled into.

The world had gone mad.

The only individuals who were normal like him come from the outside world and call themselves players.

And in his struggle to live and learn the reality of this world, he can only rely on these people.

Player A: In the world I recently visited, I met an NPC. He was completely different from other psychotic NPCs in that he was so innocent and humble.

Player B: Yeah, yeah, me too. He helped me a lot. I feel like he’s more intelligent than the captain, but unfortunately, it’s an NPC.

Player C, who was screwed by the innocent and humble NPC, died and now came back as a living dead, cast a sympathetic glance: …… hehe. You mean Lu Yan, right? Good luck to you guys. <<less

She did everything she could to help him ascend the Imperial Throne from a Prince, but return she got was an imperial edict to execute the whole family!

She was imprisoned in the cold palace, forbearance to plot, and finally destroyed his world by her own hands.

Once the big hatred was reported, she ended up smiling. But she didn’t expect opened her eyes, but returned to the year when she was nine years old.

The Di Daughter was born again. In this life, she will not allow anyone to bully her, humiliate her, despise her and trample her!

Elder brother who drowned at young age and the mother who went insane and died prematurely, in this life, she must keep them happy and healthy.

Stepmother of the previous life, don’t you like to seduce a married man? Then I’ll find you a man with broken sleeves(gay) and divide peaches, and let you seduce enough!

Husband of the previous life, don’t you use any means for the throne? In this life, no matter how you calculate, you will never get the throne!

Dear cousin, the pain of robbing your husband and killing your family in the past life will let you return it slowly!

Eccentric grandmother, the best relatives; since you want to fight, then simply fight in upside down!

I woke up after everything had already fallen apart.... more>>

The game’s main protagonist was gone, and the protagonist’s fiancé was consumed by anger, avoiding everyone. In the country, a deadly disease was spreading.

The game’s ending was the worst possible, and I found myself in that awful world as the twin sister of the main character—an unfortunate ‘villain’ who caused my sister’s death.

“I’m in big trouble.”

My new life was ruined before it even started.

I was Fey O’Bellie, the twin sister of the main character, born into a prestigious family. But titles held no significance for me. I was merely branded as the ‘villain’ responsible for ending the life of the main character.

The ending was final and unchangeable. All I wanted now was to stay alive and keep quiet.

“Did I actually end Luné’s life solely because she was foolish, arrogant, and insufferable?”

Survival seemed impossible. Someone knew the truth and wanted to kill me—the stepbrother who loved the main character Luné, Deneb.

I have to get away from him.

…In a world where I was the cause of Luné’s death, someone loved by Deneb, how could I survive?

Alright. I’ll escape then. <<less

The first time Roger woke up, he transmigrated into an RPG Eastern Fantasy masterpiece called “Eternal Night”. He became the brother of the right minister under the ultimate villain “Eternal Night Queen”.... more>>

He arrived with an Acedia system, which gave him countless rewards as long as he loafed around and lived as a waste.

Unexpectedly, the Queen of Eternal Night didn't live up to his expectations. Relying on her superb talent to eavesdrop on his heart:

“The Green Vines Empire has been around for thousands of generations, and Her Majesty the Empress is naturally the eternal master of the continent!”

[Quit dreaming, you’re scorned by the gods that joined forces to target you! In ten years, your people will be gone!]

“I’m nothing but an amateur! I completely have no idea how to make those chaotic people of the seventeen countries return to the empire!”

[Your literacy rate is too low! Don’t you know the words “Let the two wheels of all carriages be equally spaced, use the same words when writing letters or articles, teach by law, and set up officials in charge of education in all localities?”]

“The left minister, Lord Margaret, is a world leader. I dare not impose any assumptions..”

[She’s an undercover agent who wishes for you all to die sooner]

Three days later, the left minister Margaret was fired and the Queen of Eternal Night issued an edict:

“For his credit in protecting the country, Roger will be promoted to be the left minister.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty…”

[Don’t mess with me, I just want to loaf around!]
Looking at Roger, full of reluctance but forced to agree, the Queen of Eternal Night revealed a smile of satisfaction.

This world is inequal.... more>>

Some revel in abundance, sipping wine from their glasses, while others are forced to drink from the murky waters trampled upon time and again. Some are swathed in luxurious furs, while others barely manage to cover themselves in dirty rags.

This world is full of misery.

From the moment they are born, people drown in the sea of inequality. Whether they are born into wealth or poverty, nobility or peasantry, or even into the chains of s*avery, their fate is sealed. The chains of s*avery bind them, forbidding them from ever rising above their station.

This world is cruel.

The joy experienced by some is gained at the expense of others. In the relentless pursuit of limited resources, people become ruthless, they fight, they take, they kill. Survival is but a revolting dance upon the graves of others.

As the madness takes hold, one is left with nothing, they can only devour, violate, and slay.

Truly, this world is a living hell.

And yet, it is within the depths of this darkness that people desperately yearn for a glimmer of light. <<less
