After enduring serveral difficulties with its host, system number 2333 was finally given the opportunity to live a peaceful and happy life.... more>>

The twenty-four filial host was whispering softly in the ear of the mechanical cat ball, who was lying in the cathouse.

“Sansan, isn’t the mall’s 12% discount too low? Maybe it should be 15% off?”

“Sansan, what is your mission target for this month? I’ll make it twice as big. No way, I will triple it.”

System No. 2333: “Wow!”

His host is fantastic! He is extremely fortunate to have such a wonderful host.

The happiness, however, did not last long, and the system 2333 was shocked by the bad news – The main system has collapsed! An Infinite space was collapsing!

Among the shattering space debris, No. 2333 could have walked away, but he hesitated again and again, and finally gritting his teeth and he turned around to retrieve his host.

“Fear not! Shout out for Daddy, I’ll save you, Host!”

Ji Yiwei initially assumed that No. 2333 would simply leave him behind, but when he noticed the mechanical cat ball speeding up and flying back towards him, he changed his mind. He burst out laughing and hid his hand behind his back. Now that his little cat ball has voluntarily returned to him, he would never let Sansan go again.

What System 2333 didn't know was, on the hidden hand of his host was- the head of the main system. <<less

Oreki was admitted to an elite educational institution and placed in Class A.... more>>

Ian, who was a hitman, finishes his last mission and drives the knife across his neck.... more>>

[I’ve never seen the place where I woke up after I stopped breathing.]
Somewhere with strange people and endless dark forest.

One could occasionally hear crying at dawn.

As soon as he realized that he was in someone else’s body named ‘Ian’, the high gates were opened, and he met the owner of the mansion, who had blue blood on him; the color of the serpent.

“I’ve been worried a lot since you got back covered in blood.

It’s good to see you breathing fine.”

His hair disheveled and as dark as the night. Tall, dark skinned with slender eyes, the aura around him felt slightly dominant.

[Ah, he’s the man I had already killed.]

Ian realizes the moment he looks at his face,

He can’t think of his name or the reason why I killed him.

The man had a suspicious attitude…. <<less

If I could endure this for just six more months, then the original leads will appear and they will apprehend the mu*derer.

It was supposed to be that way, but…

“Magic Tower Master, Aeon de Gragnoux is here.”

Long, dangling earrings which resembled the extended silver threads.

Eyes that could immediately switch from affection to cruelty in an instant, he looked like someone, who was standing at the edge of darkness. A man more cunning and delicate than anyone else, akin to a finely crafted sculpture, slowly raised his lips.

“I’ve come to take you with me.”

In the violet depths of his eyes, there was a momentary flash of crimson in it.

My terror seemed to amuse him, like an entertaining play unfolding before his eyes. <<less

Lu Yan lives in the most horrific and absurd world.... more>>

People here live in harmony and contentment and were oblivious of all paranormal occurrences.

People here were sacrificed to the living, and the children were eaten like lychees—first the skin was peeled off, then the soft flesh was nibbled into.

The world had gone mad.

The only individuals who were normal like him come from the outside world and call themselves players.

And in his struggle to live and learn the reality of this world, he can only rely on these people.

Player A: In the world I recently visited, I met an NPC. He was completely different from other psychotic NPCs in that he was so innocent and humble.

Player B: Yeah, yeah, me too. He helped me a lot. I feel like he’s more intelligent than the captain, but unfortunately, it’s an NPC.

Player C, who was screwed by the innocent and humble NPC, died and now came back as a living dead, cast a sympathetic glance: …… hehe. You mean Lu Yan, right? Good luck to you guys. <<less

This story is fiction. The characters, ideas, and events in the work are unrelated to reality.... more>>

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

Ki-hyeon found himself possessing a character from a zombie movie he had watched before.... more>>

"What the hell? What's going on?"

Not only were the grotesque zombies terrifying, but what drove him even more insane was the fact that every time he died, it was as if the game reset and he went back to 19:21.

"...Wow, you must really f*cking love me. You're definitely my stalker."

To make matters worse, he was now possessing a stalker of Yoo Min-ho, one of the main characters in the movie.

The trust of those around him hit rock bottom.

Escaping from the building seemed like an impossible task.

And then, someone kept sending him meaningful messages through a cellphone with no service...

[So, why did you write such a shitty post?] 20:03
