This is the story of a crazy lich who possesses an internal game system and brings catastrophe to the entire world.... more>>

“Let’s look at the daily quests today… it’s the damned choose one-of-two-options-type again. Destroy a town with a population of 30,000 people or above; reward: 10,000 evil points. Steal lollipops from 3 children; reward: 1 evil point. If neither of the quests is completed, then 2 points will be deducted.”

“Tsk! You think I’m s*upid? If I really destroyed a town, a crusade of Epic-ranked Holy Knights would definitely come hunting me down. Even if I earned the points, there wouldn’t be any life left in me to spend them. I better just go be a kindly lollipop bandit.”

I’ve already had enough of being a notorious lich. Who says that a lich can’t be a good person? I’m definitely going to beat this damned system and be an upright and dignified good man. <<less

The daughter of a viscount, Eleanor Townsend lost her parents at a young age andhad been receiving sponsorship from the Duke of Griffith. This sponsorship led to rumors that Eleanor must be the Duke's illegitimate daughter.... more>>

Suddenly, the Duke declares that his heir, Daryl, must maintain a one-year marriage with Eleanor, or he won't inherit the title. Daryl approaches Eleanor and proposes a contractual marriage for just one year.

"If you want to repay my father's favor, you'll have to accept my offer. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to go through this absurdity."

He was a cold and arrogant man.

Throughout their contract marriage, Daryl's tongue had been like a poisoned blade, cutting through Eleanor.

"Don't delude yourself into thinking you're a real duchess. Live as if you were dead for a year. Don't speak to me."

She endured it, waiting only for the day when this marriage would end.

However, why is it that the one who never took her side, not even once, is now trying to hold onto her?

**.

"You're the one who said it only needed to be a formality; you're the one who asked me to marry you in the first place; you're the one who brought me a contract stipulating a divorce after a year; you're the one who coerced me into paying the favor the former duke had given me."

"......Eleanor, back then, I was."

"You told me not to delude myself into thinking I became a real duchess, and live like dead for a year. You practically treated me like I didn't exist the entire time."

"......"

"It was a lonely life, many, many times more lonely than the one I lived alone in Townsend Street, but I put up with it, because it was a promise, because I thought it was my way of making amends for the trouble I'd unwittingly caused you, and so I put up with it, because it was only a year, and I can't put up with it any longer, and I don't want to."

The calm way she spoke to Daryl contained all the truth Eleanor had kept bottled up inside for a year.

"Now please leave."

"......"

"If you don't leave, I will." <<less

In the dreamer's dream, the dreamed one awoke.
— Borges... more>>

“I exist between the heavens and earth, in the sunlight, in the wind, and in dreams.”

One night, Yu Hao, a college student who was at his wits’ end had an unexpected encounter with a mysterious visitor – “General” – who had dream travelled. He led Yu Hao in solving the countless riddles that abounded in the realm of the conscious, and lit up the fire beacons on the meandering Great Wall.

Thereafter, the darkness retreated, the sun rose, and when the long night was thoroughly lit up, the him who existed in reality was reborn.

The black dragon that roared, the lighthouse and demonic eye on the coastline, the rain forest before Chichén Itzá, the fierce beasts that wreaked havoc in the Colosseum…the bizarre projection of reality in one’s consciousness reflected the hidden place that the sunlight in reality couldn’t touch – the innumerable sins of the human heart.

The journey of seizing dreams continues, and one can only hope that the sun will continue illuminating the human heart.

Fire beacons on the Great Wall were lit up to signal a border invasion. <<less
