The once wealthy and powerful Ryuuzen clan has been all but destroyed. Their misfortune began in 1960, when a majority of the family was wiped out when their vacation villa was buried under a landslide. However, search and rescue teams discovered something even more shocking: A majority of the bodies they discovered showed obvious signs of having been mu*dered before the landslide.... more>>

As though it were a trigger, what came to be known as "The Curse of the Ryuuzen Clan" spread throughout the descendants of the family's only survivor. By mu*der, by su*cide, by accident... it seemed none who held the name "Ryuuzen" could live to see the age of 35, and now, the family has been reduced to a single woman, lying in a hospital bed, days away from death.

Kamo Touma was once just another of the endless parade of sleazy tabloid journalists looking to exploit a prominent family's tragedy to sell magazines, but Ryuuzen Rena's kindness melted his frozen heart, driving him to quit his old job and become an investigative journalist specializing in overturning cases of false arrest. Eventually, he and Rena were married, but now, the curse threatens to steal away their happiness.

Kamo prays for a miracle, and his prayers are answered by the Hourglass of Miracles, an artifact spoken of in rumors and urban legends, said to grant one wish to anyone who obtains it.

"Meister Hora", a guide for those who obtain the hourglass, tells Kamo there is only one way to break the curse and save Rena: He must travel back in time to the year 1960 and catch the culprit of the original Ryuuzen Family massacre.

Who was the culprit of the mu*ders that took place almost 60 years ago? Why did they steal away the lives of the Ryuuzen clan? What is the true nature of the "Curse of the Ryuuzen Clan?" And perhaps most mysteriously of all... What is Meister Hora's goal in all this?

The worlds enemy that spread terror to everything in the horizon, the "real demon king" was defeated by someone.
The name and existence of that one hero is still unknown.
Now that the age of terror was over, it was necessary to determine who that person was.... more>>

At the worlds largest city――the Yellow Capital, the strongest were gathering.
The one that gained victory there would be determined to be the hero.
A new era was about to begin, an important game to create idols of heroes.

For twenty five years, being subject to torment by the demon king, a reality that was far away to the extremes.
An era where all races sought strength in the face of one threat, perhaps it produced a threat not less than the Demon King.

That day after the depressed-looking Cen Jin had dropped out of his school, he noticed a little enrollment ad put on a streetlight post outside the school entrance. When he saw that the third-rate technical school advertised in the paper didn’t need an admission exam, he enrolled.... more>>

Cen Jin, who only wanted a miscellaneous diploma, found out that the usual lesson of this technical school was: teaching them how to slay a god!

There were three codes for new students to adhere:

-Do not trust all the Gods.

-If you encountered the mysterious (Grim Reaper) and failed to seek help, then adopt these actions: Negotiate, pounce, dominate, and kill. Do not stop until you’re on your last breath.

-Please use up all your strength to convey your feelings, and pray for the gods’ favor.

Cen Jin had no option but to address the gods and deliver a totally committed, passionate confession in order to survive, despite his embarrassment.

Until the first Freshmen’s Skill Competition Conference, at the critical moment of life and death, he confessed before the public, attracting the pity of 100,000 gods.

Only then did he come to know that what he had drawn was a satirical version of the freshmen codes, and the object of his confession was superior to all the 100,000 gods.

Students and instructors all around the world had simultaneously witnessed the chaotic uproar of the Freshmen’s Skill Competition Conference – that tumultuous day, 100,000 gods were inspired to come and, uniformly, cheered to the inconspicuous gloomy yellow-haired in the center of the crowd: Wife teetee!!

“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.”

There exist in this world a set of six daggers that carry a terrible curse: the ability to inflict a death beyond time. Those under the daggers' curse shall reincarnate without end, never able to know happiness and always drawn to die once more by the dagger. This is the story of "Raine" and "Marie", two souls bound by the daggers' curse to kill one another, over and over again.... more>>

France, 1243. Lapis Lazuli Castle is the name of an insignificant relay fort nestled away in a forest east of Carcassonne. Its ruler, Count Geoffroy, and his only daughter, Marie, are both believed to be insane. The root cause of their shared madness is the mysterious disappearance of Geoffroy's wife three years ago, which caused Geoffroy to grow detached from humanity and cast Marie into a deep depression. After three years of wandering in a state halfway to nonexistence, Marie works up the nerve to ask her chief bodyguard, Sir Raine, to investigate her mother's death, confiding that on the night of her mother's disappearance, she had witnessed something impossible. However, her investigation only prompts a new tragedy.

The French-German border, 1916. As World War I rages on, Raine and Marie's latest reincarnations live the life of a sub-lieutenant in the French army and a medic with the Red Cross, respectively. The two lovers are reunited at the site of the Battle of Verdun, but no sooner have they met then Raine finds himself faced with a barrage of impossible circumstances. An enemy soldier's head suddenly vanishes, right before his eyes. One of his subordinates reports the same thing happening to an ally. Four more headless bodies vanish from a flooded bunker in the minute he looks away. These baffling events are a prelude to the return of their old tragedy.

Northern Hokkaido, 1989. Kimiyo, age eighteen, is already dying, an inoperable tumor in her hypothalamus leaving her with less than a year to live. Refusing to despair in the face of her tragic circumstances, she spends her remaining days with her friends at "The Library at the End of the World", a private library so called due to its isolated nature. One day, a man named Kito approaches her out of the blue, regaling her with a story about a set of cursed daggers, knights in the 13th century, and the two of them being cursed, fated lovers. Naturally, Kimiyo is intensely skeptical, but the events that come next don't require her to believe in them.

Arriving at the scene of these three tragedies is Snowy, an enigmatic figure of indeterminate gender who claims to be "a detective charged with managing the world's chaos". <<less

In the building, there was a song that was so lively and scary.
There were strange and suspicious creatures everywhere.
A twisted hospital with strange creatures roaming around every corner.

After several attempts to escape from this place, I finally looked up and shouted—
I'm the Chosen One.
I'm the Perfect One.
Therefore, I will see this path through to the end.

I will not run from reality.

▶ A Quick Preview ◀

My heart was pulled out. I finally died.

"Huh?"

No, I'm still alive. My heart beats normally inside my body. I woke up gasping for air, clutching my heart and crying silently. I am back again. It starts all over again.

"Why? How come?"

I hate this. I don't want to go through that again. I can't do anything. I'm scared. I can't. I can't do it, so just let me die.

I saw a window over there. This place was on the 14th floor. If I jumped from here, I could die properly.
I approached the window and opened it wide. I climbed onto the windowsill, I let go of my grip on the wall and threw myself down.

When I fell, I saw the inside through the downstairs window.
One person was being dissected alive on the operating table.
A strange doctor looking out the window looked at me and tilted his head.

Crazy patients roaming around like zombies.
Two men with connected heads reached out at me.
Dozens of severed wrists were stuck upside down on the table, fluttering like sea anemones.

This is hell. Let's die and escape. <<less
