Duchess: *sips tea and sighs*

My family is against my independence? <<less

"Call me Leopold."... more>>

'Leopold? The tyrant emperor Leopold that I know?'

To avoid death, Yerin, who had possessed the villainess Ariel in the novel, avoided Leopold for nearly ten years. She even went so far as to study abroad to stay away from him.

Despite countless efforts, the man she spent one night with at her first social event turned out to be Leopold!

What a twist of fate.

She knew in her head that she shouldn't get involved…., but her heart wanted him.

"Promise me. Promise me that tonight will remain a secret for the rest of our lives."

"I promise."

As his words fell on her ears, Ariel, driven by her instincts, surrendered her body to him, wrapping her white legs around his waist, unwilling to allow even the slightest gap.

***

Was it a mistake to believe in a promise spoken only in bed?

"Where did you run off to after taking my first night?"

"Why are you acting like this!"

“It’s true that you stole my v**ginity, so I’m proposing a contractual marriage.”

Ariel was being proposed to by the man who would eventually kill her.

To add insult to injury, the conditions of the contract were even more absurd.

"My desired condition for the contract is simple."

"This... What does it mean?"

「4. To be faithful in our relationship as a married couple.」

Is it okay for me to sign this contract? <<less

Lumer, a planet with a mysterious name, is a battlefield for countless monsters and powerful beings. This place, where endless battles rage on and the boundaries of the land seem to stretch into eternity, can truly be described as hell.... more>>

And I was just a mere human who had fallen into this hell. Among beings who could easily crush human bones and more, humans were nothing more than pitiful and feeble creatures.

I, Lee Seojun, was such a human.

“Fusion.”

I was nothing more than a human, but as an experiment, I possessed a unique ability. An ability to attach myself to another body, assimilate with it, and use a new body as my own.

“I survived.”

With that ability, I had to attach myself to the bodies of monsters and become one of them in order to survive. And finally, I defeated a being that could be called the King of these monsters on the planet Lumer. Having survived, I took what the guy had.

There was a mysterious old man who approached the failed swordsman with the “100 million years button”. A magic button which can achieve the same effect as training for 100 million years if you push it.... more>>

The failed swordsman who pushed the button had his doubts, but immediately felt tremendous power rising in his body. So he pushed the button many times.

However it was a cursed button. The moment it was pushed, he was confined to the 100 million years prison of time. The first 100 years were devoted solely to training. After 1000 years he had forgotten why he swung his sword. He stopped thinking completely after 10,000 years had passed. After 100 million years he became crippled and finally managed to return to the real world. At the same time losing all his memories from the past 100 million years, the only thing that remained were his sword techniques. “I can become stronger just by pressing the button!” or so he thought and pushed the button many times after that. Foolishly trapping himself in that 100 million years of hell each time.

As he continued this loop, he began to think “If I destroy this world, will I get out of here?” A few billion years later, he finally escaped from the loop.

This is the story of a failed swordsman trying to make a name for himself in the world. <<less

“If a woman lies then smile and forgive her.... more>>

If a woman complains then be quiet and listen to her.

If a woman cries then gently brush her tears away.

But above all else – You are to never strike a woman.

Is that understood, my damned disciple?”

That was the first thing the boy ever learned from his master. As a human being his master was very peculiar. One might say that he was open-hearted but to put it frankly he was nothing more than a hedonist with a personality that couldn’t be any worse. He was constantly womanizing and when there was not enough money for lodging they would be forced to sleep outside and live off the land. As a result, the brother and sister went through a lot because of this powerless man. <<less

I lived my whole life as a substitute for the lost princess.... more>>

But the moment the real princess came back,

“Let’s be thankful that it ends like this.”

I was sorrowfully abandoned.

….. No, the ending would have been the same even if the real princess had not returned.

“I think my usefulness is up to here, so I’ll leave now.”

“If you come back, I’ll acknowledge you as a real daughter.”

“I don’t need it.”

I wouldn’t be loved by anyone, but it didn’t matter. I decided to live my own life completely.

“It goes up high enough for everyone to look up to.”

“I’ll make it like that for you.”

“Don’t leave me. Do you get it?

Whispering that he loves me, and even asking me if I knew it. <<less

"I'm going to sleep right away." ... more>>

"I'll play one more round."

"Staying up late is bad for your health, it's better to game all night."

"Ugh, so troublesome, let's just go home quickly."

"Hey, didn't you tell me? The money you spent wasn't really spent, you just traded it for a way to accompany something you like."

"No, I'm sealed in by the blanket and can't get up."

"Stood up again? I'm going to destroy this unreliable world."

"Even if I die, I still won't go out to work."

It wasn't like this in the beginning. For an ice mountain lady knight from another world to become like this, it's quite an achievement. Though it's also pretty easy. <<less

This is a story about a demon and a manga. ... more>>

Previously a human, Yuan Yuan Yuan had accidentally became a half-demon. As a half-demon, she abided by the rules of the demon realm, and wholeheartedly attempted to keep her identity as a half-demon under wraps.

However, her peaceful life came to a halt after that one night — she disguised herself and saved a human from a demon.

One week later, when she was flipping through her favourite manga that she had been following, she suddenly discovered that the plot contained a disconcertingly familiar sight.

A black haired demon… had saved a human from another demon…

With his extraordinary abilities, strikingly handsome, aristocratic face and enigmatic background, the male demon quickly rose in fame as a 2D fiction character. Yuan Yuan Yuan looked at the latest chapter of the manga, flabbergasted, before she decided to quietly chomp on some chips and choose to selectively close both eyes — none of this is real!

Soon, she realised there was a pattern to this. Ever since that night, there was a very high chance that the things she did would appear in the manga.

In fact, whatever occured in the manga were things that had happened in reality as well. Therefore, in order to stay alive, Yuan Yuan Yuan had to try her best to hide her identity

As time passed, those that were interested in such unsolved mysteries came to realise the uncanny similarities between the manga and reality, and the pattern that it appeared to follow. And so, they started searching for these 2D characters in the real world. <<less

As a cultivator, Minran has always devoted herself to the task of escaping death and living cautiously. But it seems as if…she’s done a little better than that?... more>>

During a certain adventure, a group of cultivators were caught in a trap.

The high-rank demonic cultivator laughed uproariously, “You’re all doomed now that you’ve been been struck by this deity’s heart-burning demonic prison!”

Everyone was in a panic.

The demonic cultivator said, “Unless one of you can bring out the root soil of the Liantian Flower!”1

The cultivators: “Who would pay attention to something like that!”

Minran silently opened her storage ring, retrieved the storage bag marked 564, and poured out a large mound of soil from the roots of a Liantian flower.

The demonic cultivator: “…Unless you also have powder from the coffin holding this deity’s corpse, it’s still the end for you!”

Minran silently took out storage bag 619.

The demonic cultivator: “…And the ten-thousand-year-old silt from the snow at the top of the iceberg in the coldest part of the sea connected to the underworld….”

Before the cultivators’ expectant eyes, Minran embarrassedly dug around for a while, until it was all piled up in front of the demonic cultivator, and smiled shyly while the demonic cultivator vomited blood in anger. “Thank you for your help, I wouldn’t have known how to detoxify without it.”

The demonic cultivator: “…Blergh!”

He vomited three liters of blood, then died!
