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

Three millennia later.... more>>

In the New Federal World which had experienced a historical deviation.

A game called "Jianghu" appeared out of nowhere, forcibly defining all humans in the world as players.

Humans would experience a variety of worlds mixed with martial arts in the game! Once you die in the game, your real body would also die!

Four hours before the game began, Ye Ling returned with his previous life's memories!

This time.

He will grasp all the opportunities he missed in his previous life, and he will dominate the Jianghu!

And the starting point is Yuxu Monastery in Dali.

"Madam, you don't want your son to have an accident, do you?!"

Ye Ling threw the pill and looked at Dao Baifeng in front of him with a smile. <<less

Xing Ye couldn’t accept the sudden death of his younger brother, and as he searched for answers, he recalled the QR code he once saw on his brother’s phone. Having a photographic memory, he was able to quickly sketch out the QR code. Upon scanning it with his phone, he then finds himself transported to an all-white room, where, at the very middle, a giant cube was afloat.... more>>

Xing Ye then learned that his brother was a player in this Game of Challenging Fate, and to learn how his brother died, he signed himself up to it.

Later, he gets ahold of a sentient mirror, and the very existence of it hints at the truth of what this Game is really about. <<less

The washed-up magician Zong Jiu transmigrated into a horror, infinite flow novel about a survival show, taking the place of the cannon fodder who died tragically in the first evaluation round. This show was very interesting. Out of the tens of thousands of people, only a hundred people could survive, and the c-position (strongest contender) could even get a universal wish ticket.... more>>

If it were someone else, they’d probably be scared to death.

No one expected that Zong Jiu was not only unafraid, but also caused a sensational stir, shamelessly showing off his tricks the whole way.

Once his tricks stopped, and his life could be considered safe and sound, he ended up in a rivalry with the novel’s big villain.

Today you try to get at me, tomorrow I’ll get you back, back and forth, it’s pretty fun, heh.

As a result, though it was just playing around, one time they got carried away and really did end up sleeping together. Watching the nemesis who was pressing him to the ground, Zong Jiu lazily lifted his gaze. “If you want to kill me then kill me, don’t speak nonsense.” Even when at a disadvantage, he showed no trace of fear, and actually continued to provoke him.

That person used his ice-cold finger to trace his ear, and the action heading toward the aorta suddenly stopped.

“What a pity. I’ve changed my mind.”

—

He was once very willing to personally give Zong Jiu death. Every day, he used to regret not gouging out his flesh, personally snapping his neck. But after this person fell into his hands, another, more urgent desire grew like weeds.

Compared to winning or losing, he would rather see him crying and panting, with eyes red, begging for mercy. <<less

It’s the era of Transmigration.... more>>

I wanted to possess a body of a rich young lady in a Rofan childcare novel, and live while receiving lots of love.

No. 1 to be avoided!

No. 1 in frustrating the reader!

I possessed someone inside an infinite return novel called: Return Until the World is Saved.

Forget being a young lady from a prominent family, I will soon be ruined because the survival difficulty of the original work is S-Class.

I became an extra. Ailette, the young daughter of a servant in the Count’s manor.

We are poor, but it’s a happy life between a kind brother and a good father.

I’ve got a best friend I’ve never made before because I was always busy.

Even the gods of the Transmigration Management Bureau are openly fond of me.

I’m living a life full of confidence.

On top of that, I accidentally bought the ‘After-Life Insurance’ full package just before my death.

I leveled up with the high-speed growth buff, and diligently destroyed the original plot.

Thanks to plenty of special privileges, I came to give satisfaction for all the frustrated readers of the original work.

“You wiped your face with your dirty hands.”

“…….”

“Don’t be surprised. It’s because I have an obligation to be kind.”

And then, there’s the protagonist who is still nothing more than a handsome push over, Thesilid.

‘Why is he being this crafty with me?’ <<less

‘Every beautiful thing is all mine.’... more>>

Louisa Messena, the lout villainess of the fallen Duchy Kingdom.

A woman who had been exposed to many works of art and surrounded by luxury items ever since she was a child, and had lived with gambling, alcohol, and luxury even after having her household ruined.

She loved and hunted beautiful things.

What she had loved the most was men.

Handsome, and beautiful men.

Without knowing that that obsession about beauty, creates a future where she will be executed.

—That was the history of the body I possessed.

But for me, such a behind-the-scene story was an area out of my interest.

I don’t give a sh*t about Rofan, or possessing. My interest is solely one.

That is making a ‘play’.

Since in my world, there are only directions, actors, stages, and audiences.

“If you want to kiss me, tell me that, Master. That’s why you make me into a male actor and you stand as a female actor, right?”

The little bit dangerous and cheeky actor, and…

“As expected, turns out you… were a person who couldn’t love anything other than plays. Even so, it doesn’t matter. Please take advantage of me. Since I’ll let myself be well taken advantage of.”

The strange as much as being obsessed fiance wasn’t the important thing. <<less

I was reincarnated in a male-oriented modern fantasy novel that I read as a boredom reliever.... more>>

I expected a paradise life with the reincarnation privilege,

What I was given was the role of a hardcore life as an orphanage’s oldest sister with younger siblings to feed!

In the face of a financial crisis, I finally made up my mind.

To get on the ‘main character bus’!

In other words, becoming a member of the male lead’s harem.

Heroine? I’ll do anything. If I can make money by doing it!

My goal is to become a common sub-heroine 1 and eat rice cakes,

If I earn as much as I can, I will naturally leave later.

However…

[Character ‘Kang Nahyun’ appears in “Academy’s F-Class Commander”.]
[Readers’ responses have been updated!]
– What is it? The heroine?

– As for an academy, harem is my favorite.

– DBH! DBH!

(DBH: die before becoming the heroine)

What else is this?

***

…Obviously, my first goal was to be a minor sub-heroine.

– F*ck at this point isn’t the female lead definitely Kang Nahyun?

ㄴAgree

– The fact that Kang Nahyun is the female lead is regular in the Academy

I didn’t know then, that life doesn’t always go as planned. <<less

Shu Yichao: "Charge, my nomads! Show them our unrivaled archery!"

And so, Momoana died.

【My host, I'll assume what happened earlier was an accident. We have to succeed for the next one. Our next conquer target is Purin, a lofty and cold sorceress.】

Shi Yichao: "Clear the mobs and stack skeletons! I shall bring the undead calamity upon the world!"

And so, Purin died.

【...Maybe you didn't hear me clearly, my host. I said court her, not cull her. Our next target–】

Shu Yichao: "Build the hive and spam the worms. My hive mind shall devour the world! Who can compete with me?"

【...】

Shi Yichao: "Halleluyah! I have finally gotten rid of every single one of them! Speaking of which, System, it has been a long time since you last spoke to me?"

It’s just that …he is now a golden finger and even more importantly bound to a host?

And so this host, has a backstory resulting a bloody darkened heart and soul, truly a psychopath!

Ancient times, modern times, apocalypse, futuristic….

Traveling throughout the worlds, Shi Qing thinks the host isn’t as bad as he imagined? Strange. <<less

Ning Su’s hair is soft, his skin is pale, his expression is slightly sluggish, his body is thin, and he is out of place in the crowd of passers-by.... more>>

He listened to the people around him discussing how to clear the level of this dungeon, and asked: “I survived the level, does it count as clearing the level?”

The people around looked at him like a fool: What a pity.

After entering the dungeon, Ning Su really started to live a life of his own.

If there is a gloomy skull on the castle, Ning Su will pick it up and make it into a night light to sleep beautifully.

The waterfall turned into blood, and he took the stew in a small milk pot, his eyes shining brightly.

Occasionally, he will also make small clothes for ghosts crawling on the ground.

Later, he really survived, the NPCs are sticky to him, the ghost master followed him and called him ‘mother’, and he still had the bloody heart of the flower god in his chest.

“…”

For Ning Su, there is food and drink in the infinite horror world, which is much more wonderful than his previous life.

He lived in the doomsday era and used to be a supernatural being, but his supernatural power is different. He is a special dark supernatural being who can absorb all dark things.

The person in charge of the base asked him to purify the zombies and sent him to the zombie group.

He turned into a little dark zombie.

Humans did not like him, all dark beings loved him. <<less

One day, unfortunate news flew all the way to the Mage’s City. The mage, Solar Xing Ayra’s, entire family had been killed in an accident. Thus, he must now become the next Lord of the Solar family.... more>>

The childhood home he returned to felt unfamiliar and strange. He barely managed to conduct a funeral with advisors that regarded him with suspicion. After fainting from various stressors, he woke up and…

“Hello, Master. Nice to meet you!” ^o^ From now on, I’ll be the cute GM spirit fulfilling Master’s dreams: 'Adventuring the world!', 'Fun estate management!' I’m so happy to be with Master from now on, yay!

“Enter a name ______”

… What is this pebble-like spirit that calls me ‘Master’?

No matter how you look at it--these level-up quests and these system windows…they were similar to a game’s user interface from his previous life.

What is this… thing that seems more suited to modern civilization? Reminiscing on the games he had longed to play, Ayra worked hard on the quests. And, slowly, he also began exploring the territory.

However, the territory…

[D-234 days until the fall of the Solar estate.]

“There are 234 days left till ruin…?”

Alright, let’s start with the coronation ceremony. Things will work out somehow. <<less

After a disagreement with the author, Lee Hee-ro transmigrated to the world of his favourite shounen manga, Adventure King!

But what’s this, characters have to work hard for their survival?

If you’re a two-bit villain, you get defeated by the protagonist from the get-go?

If you’re the strongest on the current map, you get hammered down by a newcomer to show off their strength?

If you aren’t popular with the fanbase, your character gets deleted?!

In a world of endless fights, a crazy sprint to survive just the next chapter begins! <<less

Callius von Jervain.... more>>

A character who dies no matter what he does. A character who falls into a forced choice route where he can only die, no matter his choices up to that point. However, there is a single route where the character can live and play the game.

And I have to carve out that route somehow.

Because I’ve become Callius von Jervain in the game. <<less

Why, seems like I've become a haunted portrait.

By the time I realized it, I had reincarnated into another world.... more>>

I kept sleeping, and at some point I became a Demon Lord.

Even though I never wished for it.

But for me to not have to work, this world is the best. It must be true that good things happen to good people.

The flavor of Sloth is as sweet as honey. Glory, diligence, virtue, or honor. I have no interest in anything like that.

What’s there to hide? The Lazy king is… none other than me. <<less

“Kwaaak!”... more>>

Among dragons, the strongest dragon cried. F*ck.

I found myself transmigrated into a modern fantasy novel. As an S-rank boss monster, a dragon.

Being a dragon might seem like a decent transmigration, but this monster dies in the prologue. After fighting with the protagonist for several days, no less.

In short, I’m screwed. How can I beat the main character of a modern fantasy?

But I have to survive. Like any possessed individual, the will to survive surged within me.

With the mindset of holding onto a rope, I looked at my skills. Then, a four-letter word caught my eye.

[Polymorph]
Excited, I looked into the explanation, only to find out that polymorphing is only possible into a hatchling. Why can’t I become human?

If you’re a dragon, shouldn’t you be able to transform into a beautiful appearance to charm people around, looking all pretty and holy?

Well, at least it’s probably easier to move around than a giant body. Let’s look on the bright side.

So, I tried using polymorph, and it was incredibly cute! It could easily pass as the novel’s mascot! With just a few cute gestures, it seemed like it could completely charm all the characters inside the modern fantasy novel!

Wait, this wasn’t so bad. Rather than being a stranger, isn’t it better to be a small and cute creature?

And so, I decided to become the protagonist’s companion monster. <<less
