In a world where dungeons give rise to dangerous monsters, those who possess the power to fight against these creatures, known as the [Awakened Ones], are both respected and feared by many. Among them is Toru Inukai, a young man who has reached his second year of high school without awakening his skills. Once harboring a faint dream of becoming an Awakened One, Toru has now embraced an ordinary life, content with living life at his own pace.... more>>

One fateful day, while on his way home from school, Toru stumbles upon an abandoned dog.

"Why are you here? Were you abandoned by your owner?" Toru questions the puppy and decides to take it in on a whim. As he gives the puppy a name, a dormant skill within him suddenly awakens.

"You were a... monster, weren't you?"
"Woof?"

With the awakening of this newfound skill, Toru's mundane everyday life vanishes without a trace. Instead, he finds himself embarking on a new life in the dungeons.

As he navigates this new world, Toru encounters a junior female student who takes an interest in him, a new tamer who becomes the talk of the internet, and even attracts the attention of a famous dungeon distributor. His youth takes a thrilling turn as he faces new challenges and experiences.

Toru's true days of adventure and growth have just begun... <<less

The world revolves around me.... more>>

My name is Sakagami Kagura. I’m incredibly cute, unbelievably intelligent, and my manners are utterly flawless. No diamond in the world could compare to my illustrious beauty. You could say that I simply put the rest of the world to shame with both brains and beauty.

Regrettably, someone such as myself is beset by troubles at every turn, just as a ill-fated protagonist of a story might be. My tendency to attract such misfortune is perhaps my one and only flaw. Mournfully, I sigh, raising my chin slightly so as to better catch the illumination of the streetlights. Even sighing, I must look simply exquisite.

Then, I give the stuffed rabbit in my arms a squeeze and focus my gaze on the two individuals in front of me, the source of my most recent plight. One is a black-haired young woman, the kind that would be idiotic enough to walk the streets this time of night. The other is a quite literally wolf-faced man. Naturally, he has her cornered. A werewolf and his prey.

My duty is to exterminate such horrific, inhuman creatures before they can wreak havoc on human society — using puppets such as this little fellow here…

A distinguished guest was welcomed to the palace of the Arilance Empire.... more>>

This lord was said to be a noble emperor.

After hearing this, the people of the empire scoffed. Who’s emperor would wander around in despair? This man must be a liar.

The emperor of the Arilance Empire was a tyrant.

The people of the empire placed their bets, speculating on the date when the liar would be beheaded by the emperor.

Three months, five months……

Months have passed, and the liar has not yet been beheaded. The people of the empire can barely remember about it.

One day, the blue sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. Holy archangels and black-winged demons stood together, headless hors**en rode on abyssal dragons, and thousands of troops came from a distance.

——They came to meet their emperor.

That day, almost everyone in the city saw the powerful foreign race at the head and the thousands of troops kneeling down on one knee to the liar in the palace, with their right hands clenched into the left side of their chests.

——The world is ignorant, only the emperor shines with the sun and the moon.

——I offer my heart and loyalty to my lord.

"You're fired! Peria Alecto, we don't need you in this laboratory if you can't obey orders!"... more>>

Peria, a commoner who was working as a court magician, was fired by the order of her arrogant boss, Lord Vayn. Moreover, her former boss goes so far as to tr*sh the golem she was building as a hobby while she's also kicked out of the royal capital.

On one hand, since Peria was doing a huge amount of the laboratory's work, leaving the rest struggling to keep up—

... But on the other hand, Peria reunites with her childhood friends who became top-ranked Adventurers and managed to regain her Golem. With them, she'll keep on working to realize her dream:

Defeat the giant "Monsters" that rule most of the world, that even the best magicians can't hope to match. Then, in this world divided by magical barriers, she would expand the land where humans could live and eventually return to her hometown someday.

Peria's reputation for saving people with her golem eventually reaches Lord Vayn, who ridiculed her puppet magic. As the people around him ask, "Where is your excellent subordinate?", he hurriedly demands of her, "Please come back because we can't work without you." and "I want you to take credit for your achievements." to try to get Peria back.

Of course, Peria refuses with, "I completely refuse because I'm having so much fun right now!"

It seems that her dreams are finally coming true, and she's got no time to settle for her ex-boss. And with her childhood friends and Golem, she embarks on a journey to open up the world and work to a brighter future. <<less

I became an S-class adventurer with my childhood friends, using the strength that I’m proud of to attract enemies and have my friends defeat them in the meantime, continuing to play the so-called “tank” role.... more>>

I was a paladin, a job specializing in protecting my companions, but perhaps because everyone was protected by me, they did not learn any defense or evasion skills, but only improved their attack skills.

In such a situation, they forgot that they are protected by my skills, and they fired me …… Wait, I don’t care what happens, okay!? Even though your natural defensive power are as good as paper.

But since I had been through a terrible time on my way up to become an S-class adventurer, I decided to take it easy for once and went to the Adventurers’ Guild to accept a request for a relaxing day alone.

I was told that they had tried to cultivate the land in the past, but the monsters that appeared were so strong that all the farmers had run away, so the vast land would be given as a reward to anyone who succeeds. they were rewarded with a large tract of land.

When I went there after being told that “Alex, an S-class adventurer, would be fine!” …… I found that there was not even a village or a house around it, and it’s beyond of what you call the countryside, because it was a land inhabited by monsters.

The land was deserted, with farming tools left unattended, and there was a monster that I had never seen before, and when I managed to defeat it, I acquired the “s*ave Release” skill.

I was told that if I used this skill, it would summon one person of the opposite s*x, who is ens*aved somewhere in the world, to me.

I thought it would be better for the world if I used this skill, and I activated it immediately, and a beautiful elf girl appeared.

After that, a girl with architecture skill, a princess from a foreign country who was a prisoner …… and I kept freeing people who were ens*aved, and before I knew it, a country was formed and I was treated like a king. <<less

Others usually appeared as human when they possessed a character in a book, but I possessed a doll.... more>>

It was also a favorite doll of the tyrant whose neck went flying because of the male lead.

‘I’ve already died once, but I don’t want to die again!’

To survive, I must edify the tyrant.

To do that, I must first move my body… What? Oh, it’s moving?

“Are you really Chloe? No, who are you?”

A young emperor of the Burgundy Empire and a tyrant with the end faith of dying. Reclaim my body while edifying him!

The hair was not black.

Instead, it was shiny gold. It was the same color as the doll.

Standing still, panicked, Declan asked again in a trembling voice.

“…Chloe, are you really here? But why do you look like a doll?”

From the time the doll moved its hand, he had an expectation that Chloe might have been in it.

In such a situation, although it looks translucent, there is a person who looks exactly like a doll, so it is worth expecting that it was Chloe.

Because in the end, people just believe whatever they want to believe.

All of this while the shadows of the old days were still stirring in the deep sea, waiting to devour this world that was about to die.

But for the new captain of the ghost ship Vanished, there was only one question he had to consider first — Who knows how to steer this ship?! <<less

Well, sure. He has read a lot of fantasy novels so far, so he was not surprisingly intolerant of such a thing. Live a little, get transported into a novel! And then come back! That's how to live, isn't it?

But, why did he possess the cotton doll given to the character who would become the insane, obsessive male lead in the future?

“Levi, the doll you gave me seems to be moving.”
“What are you talking about?”

Yul endured the gaze of the Archduke who was staring at him.
'Be patient, be patient. If you even breathe now, you will be f*cked.'

"Hmm. Yes, it must be my imagination.”

The Archduke then turned around and said flatly.
Yul lived. He had survived such a miserable life, and today too.
