Aihara Runa was a person who had been living in hell of misfortune. One day she found herself in a strange stage, apparently her soul was reaped without permission and sold at an auction to gods from another world along with her 28 classmates. But there was a trouble, it seems that Aihara’s soul was extremely smelly and stinky. Instead of getting a buyer, she was thrown away and with her soul in danger of disappearing. ... more>>

The goddess said that she can help Aihara to get reincarnated but with one condition, that is to bring her along and get reincarnated together.

Xu Mu was a hardcore otaku, who one night died suddenly from playing games late into the night, only to open his eyes and find himself alive again.... more>>

A noisy black ball surrounded him, claiming he had entered into some novel as a cannon fodder extra.

Xu Mu firmly believed he was experiencing hallucinations, waving his hand to dismiss the black ball.

With a "sizzle," after a few seconds, the black ball disappeared.

Sure enough, it was just a hallucination, and he went back to sleep satisfied.
-

Once, while out, Xu Mu encountered an injured rabbit on the road.

He intended to bandage the rabbit's wound, but the rabbit kept struggling, refusing to cooperate.

"Be good, I'll take you back to bandage your wound."

The rabbit stopped struggling.

Xu Mu: How fierce, but quite spiritual.

After bandaging the rabbit's wound, it ran off without looking back.

Xu Mu felt regretful, his wish of raising a rabbit shattered.

His life as a shut-in continued, until one day, the doorbell rang.

A fair and gentle man stood at the door, offering cookies and speaking softly, "Hello, I'm your new neighbor who recently moved in..."

Xu Mu didn't catch the rest of the words, his attention entirely on the box of cookies.

So hungry.

The man smiled gently, "Go ahead, eat."

Xu Mu wolfed down the cookies, only realizing he behaved inappropriately afterward. He looked at his neighbor sheepishly.

The man didn't say anything, his gaze still soft and accepting.

Later, Xu Mu discovered that his neighbor, who frequently visited, was an excellent cook. He often received delicious food, juices, and occasionally, dinner invitations.

From initially feeling anxious and guilty, Xu Mu gradually felt at ease, all within a few short months.

Xu Mu pondered that it wasn't right to keep eating without giving back, so he handed his bank card to his neighbor.

The man slowly widened his eyes, "What... do you mean?" His face started to flush slightly, a hint of crimson on his skin.

Xu Mu focused on his game, hastily handing over the card, "Take it."

—My food expenses are all covered in there, thank you for your hard work.

Recently, the man's frequency of sending delicious food had increased, and he even accompanied Xu Mu to play games every day, sometimes even helping him tidy up the house.

Xu Mu felt that something was amiss, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

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

Mu Yun Gui was the white moonlight of the male lead in a cultivation-based book.... more>>

Mu Yun Gui herself didn’t know that she was a short-lived white moonlight, until one day, a junior sister who was the eldest lady from a prominent family came into her life and turned her life upside down.

Her childhood sweetheart slowly got estranged from her and became close to the junior sister. In the end, he even abandoned her to save that junior sister.

When Mu Yun Gui plunged into the deep sea, she saw a triumphant smile on the junior sister.

At that time, she knew that the junior sister was a girl from a different world, and this world was a book. The cause of her cultivation stagnation was that the girl had robbed her luck.

After the fall, Mu Yun Gui opened her eyes and found that she was not dead, but fell into an underground cave.

In the cave, there was a ten-thousand-year-old ice block with a person inside it. Mu Yun Gi thought that this person also like her fell into the forbidden area, and out of good intentions, she unlocked the seal.

Jiang Shao Cai was sealed in an ice block for ten thousand years.

Suddenly one day, he was awakened by a girl. The girl was embarrassed, but still smiled at him and said, “Did you fall too? It’s okay, I will save you.”

The girl didn’t know that the boy she saved was a legendary genius from ten thousand years ago, who was abandoned by the immortal world and fell into the dark. <<less

‘Navia Agnes,’ adopted to marry the Crown Prince on behalf of the Duke of Agnes’ ill daughter.... more>>

“I want to be a real family.”

Navia, who had been hung up on her family’s affection, does her best to become an empress while being abused, but the moment Vivian, the duke’s biological daughter, is cured, her family abandons her.

No, it would be fair to say that they abandoned her every time.

“How much longer do I have to try? To be your family.”

Navia took off her blood-soaked gloves.

Then on her right wrist, an invisible number that wasn’t visible to others was revealed.

1

Looking down at the numbers, she calmly confessed.

“Now, I’m going to stop playing with family games.”

At that moment, the number on the wrist changed.

0

Like that, a life that started again.

“If you touch me, you’ve to pay the price.”

Will she be able to take revenge on the Duke of Agnes and find a temporary family to protect her until she reaches adulthood? <<less

The dull lonely man and the cultured sparkling woman.... more>>

Where will the mismatched pair’s youthful campus life lead to—?!

Souhei Sagara, a university student who champions the solitary lifestyle, lives next to the sparkling and fashionable beauty, Haruko, in his run-down apartment.

Haruko seemed like a creature from a different world compared to the drab Sagara. However, she actually was… a plain girl with no makeup who had successfully made her dazzling university debut!

Upon learning her secret, Sagara decides to help the defenseless Haruko to maintain his solo living.

“If you can become a sparkling girl, you won’t need to involve me anymore, right?”

“Sagara-kun, you’re so stubborn…”

If her true face is revealed, will her rosy campus life crumble for sure?!

The fate of the dull lonely man and the cultured sparkling girl’s unaligned youthful days—?! <<less

However, “normal” goes out the window when his whole class is involved in a bus crash and whisked away to another world! Powerful gods rule this strange new land of magic and monsters, and every newcomer is blessed with strong stats and unique skills.

Well, not quite. Makoto’s stats turn out to be pathetic, and his skills are super weak compared to his classmates’…he’s even stuck as an apprentice mage. Worse still, he’s given only ten years to live!

Luckily, Makoto soon meets a minor goddess named Noah, who appears in Makoto’s dreams and asks him to become her first believer. With the help of Noah’s blessings and a divine weapon, Makoto seeks to become strong enough to rescue his goddess from the dungeon where she’s been trapped.

By training hard and using his weak skills in unorthodox ways, Makoto proves that, even when playing on hardcore difficulty, an RPG player always makes it to the end! <<less

That summer afternoon, spent beside the being who had become the heaviest in my world, with the verdure of the season deepening within the confines of my lone space, self-isolated from others. Solitude was no longer an option for me. A life without Woonu only promised loneliness.... more>>

I lost my family and experienced the loneliness that lingered in their absence, living a lonesome life without holding anyone close to my heart, stewing in my solitude. Loneliness and solitude cannot coexist. Only those who have chosen solitude know of this truth.

Solitude is a blank, and loneliness is a dearth that seeks to be filled. Because solitude is closer to nonpossession than it is to resignation, while loneliness is like a jar with a leaky bottom. That imperfectly solid blank of mine, built from my fleeing of loneliness, became desperate to contain a whole being.

Woonu, having felt the rain at the tip of his fingers, arm stretched beyond the eaves, suddenly straightened his legs and leaned his upper body forward.

“Huh? A green frog!”

“Where? Are you sure you didn’t see wrong?”

“There, over there! Oh, oh, it’s jumping!”

“Oh, there really is one.”

“Where did it come from? Has it always lived here?”

I quietly gazed at the side of his face, his mouth agape with a bright smile adorning it.

Where did you come from? Where did you come from for it to feel as though you’ve always been here? <<less

When I first came into the book, my goal was just to survive.... more>>

‘I have to live longer! And be happy!’ So I did my best.

I am going to walk on my own flower path.

“Wherever I go, the seat next to you is mine. You promised to pat my head for the rest of your life, isn’t that right?” The strongest male character, who was stabbed to death in the original novel, stared at me with obsessive eyes.

If I say no, he will destroy the world.

“Yes, I’ll kill him. Then you’ll be happy, too, right?” The fifth brother looked a bit crazy.

“This is my land from here to here. And yours, too. I’m glad to be able to breathe with your grandest dreams.” The fourth oldest sister, who became the richest woman on the continent, opened the map and said that.

If I say I don’t have such a grand dream like her, I think a catastrophe will happen.

“I’m looking forward to the Winter Solstice that you’ll rule completely.” Laughter rose on the face of the butler who served me.

“If you don’t connect to Verratoux, my heart will stop tomorrow morning. Are you sure you’re okay with that?” My first sister, who was supposed to be the original successor, threatened me with her life.

And this is the biggest problem. Somehow, a faint smile raised my father’s mouth, which became stronger than the original father he was. “Independence? Try it then. I won’t even let a single ant live on this land."

“Did you think you could leave my arms and stand on your own…” He then stared at me obsessively.

They are all acting weird.

Everything went wrong.

I only did my very best. <<less

“Can you dare to be greedy?”

Monica Everett, a genius magician, was extremely shy and terrible at speaking in public.... more>>

To that end, she worked hard and mastered the art of countless magic, which she could use without chanting. After being chosen as one of the Seven Sages at the tender age of fifteen as the “Silent Witch,” she lived a quiet life in the forest.

However, two years have passed since then, and one day, Monica received an order.

And it was to secretly protect the second prince to the academy undetected.

In order to protect the prince, Monica must infiltrate a glamorous school for the children of noble families.

“I don’t wanna do this… I’m scared… Ugh… My stomach is aching…”

…said the girl whimpering. <<less

Suspicious cases, blood and family tangles.

An undesirable princess. A damsel with nothing but a pretty face. Persecuted in her homeland, Stella is about to be sold as a tribute as soon as she comes of age. Until, in a moment of desperation, she meets a man.... more>>

“I’m looking for something important. I need you, Princess, to help me.”

The man who kidnaps Stella with this bizarre demand is a northerner with leaps and bounds in physical development. He’s also a man who’ll turn into a monster due to a curse passed down from his ancestor.

“Do you think I can help you break the curse?”

“Yes. Please be kind to this man who will turn into a monster in less than a year.”

Easley gives her the end of three months to find the gem he needs to break the curse tied to his blood.

Time passes in a blur, and Stella feels an uncanny affinity for the man isolated from the world. Until an oracle comes down that says he needs her sacrifice, not the gem, to prevent him from turning into a monster. <<less

Kiana, the troublemaker of the Prelai duchy.... more>>

I was about to give up my life as a villainess and be reborn as a new person.

Until one day, the family was hanged for treason.

‘There’s no need to kill me, who ran away from home 7 years ago and is only doing research in the countryside!’

The moment I realized that the academy, who said that I was a genius and would treat like a family, betrayed me, and that treason was also falsely accused by someone…

Due to a mysterious power, I returned to a year ago!

“I can’t help it. Now that it’s like this, I, who is smart and strong, has no choice but to save the family.”

There were two things to do for the family.

“Will I be of help to you someday too?”

“I tried to save him because he is precious to my grandfather.”

Restoring the relationship with the family, which was a mess, and…

“Please pretend to be in a relationship with me externally.”

Holding hands with ‘that man’.

Oh, before that. Pouring a water bottle over the dean’s head during the lecture, I said,

“This is gravity.” Get revenge on those academy guys who have no morals.
