"I wonder if I'm not cut out for this..." Unpopular dungeon streamer, Takuya Kamiki, was in doubt. For two years, he had been streaming his adventures in dungeons, battling monsters and broadcasting it online, but his average viewership was zero. Despite having the skills of an adventurer, he couldn't seem to achieve any results. He began to question whether he was cut out to be a streamer.... more>>

"Is it time to move on?" As a dungeon streamer, he relied on his streams for a living. Should he give up on that dream and live a more conventional life? Just as he was contemplating this, Takuya found himself in an unexpected situation.

"S-Someone, help!"

"Aaargh!!!"

By chance, he stumbled upon the super popular, beautiful dungeon streamer, Kanade Kiryu, being attacked by monsters.

"Are you okay?"

"T-Thank you for saving me..."

Takuya rescued Kiryu, who had over two million subscribers, from the monsters and safely escorted her back to the surface.

"Well, I guess things like this can happen." Takuya muttered casually, unaware of what had just transpired. However, behind the scenes, Takuya's account was buzzing as the hero who had saved the life of the idol of the streaming world, Kiryu. <<less

"You’re a failure, don’t ever cross my threshold again!" ... more>>

In a country where magic is everything, especially in a kingdom where everything is determined by the ability of ‘bloodline magic’ that only nobles are born with. Hermes, who was born as the second son of a certain noble family, was found to be a “failure” with no bloodline magic despite his high magical talent, and was exiled from the family. Hermes was almost killed in the depths of his disappointment, but then he was picked up by Rose, a “witch” he met, who saw his talent and made him her apprentice.

After five years of training, he returns to King’s Landing with the most powerful magic of all – the ability to recreate all magic – and learns all kinds of magic he never knew he could. He corrects the wrong thinking spreading in the kingdom, saves his childhood friends who suffer from magic, destroys the incompetent position of the bloodline magic-dependent people who banished him, and eventually makes a name for himself as the savior of the kingdom. <<less

Kurei Yuugo was just an average high schooler. If we really had to name one thing about him that was different, was that he really liked heroes.... more>>

One day, he died protecting a mother and child from a random slasher… But before he knew it, he was reborn in the world of the game Luminous History, as the character that shared his name, Yuugo Clay.

Yuugo was the most hated person in the academy. He would lose everything in a duel against the player character, and use his little brother who loved him until the end as a sacrifice to summon a magic sword. But after fighting the main character again, he would lose his life unsightly.

But trouble! Kurei Yuugo, a seventeen year old hero otaku who knew nothing of the things and had a bright personality, was reincarnated inside this villainous character.

“Uhyah! A transformation bracelet! Uwa, what am I going to make my transformation call!?”

“This armor is just too cool, isn’t it!? Thanks little brother!”

Yuugo, who knew nothing of the world of this game, would unconsciously and without intention crush the flags of his destruction that came one after the other.

As the people who reincarnated as main characters were baffled that things were not going according to plan, the Yuugo would dash through the path of a hero in the academy in another world, along with his beloved little brother. But what does the future hold for him!?

“Hey, can we make robots that combine in the end? No? I see… Then how about turning giant or… We can’t do that either… Sorry for being unreasonable…”

…What does it hold!? <<less

After drinking too much at my retirement celebration, I woke up to find myself inexplicably transformed into a beautiful young boy in another world. In... more>> this world where magic reigns supreme, there's a catch – only women can use magic. The value of men lies in their ability to produce magically powerful offspring, recognized only through the demanding role of a 'stud' in a challenging setting. Somehow, when I engage in procreation, both the children and their mothers gain peculiar powers. Before I knew it, my surroundings were filled with women. Is this some kind of cheat? <<less

In these troubling times, Luke, the son and heir of the lord of the land, turned twelve and received a Gift. Unfortunately, it was a Gift useless in combat called [Village Building]. To make matters worse, his step-brother was the one blessed to inherit their father’s [Master Swordsmanship]. And so, their positions were completely reversed.... more>>

Luke was then banished to an uninhabited wasteland. There, his mysterious Gift activated and instantly made a village. He thus prepared himself to live modestly in this tiny village of his. Or so he thought. As the population of his village grew and grew, his Gift got stronger and stronger until it evolved.

Before he knew it, his [village] had tall buildings everywhere and had the strongest army. His village became the best there was…!

“Wait, can this still be called a village? And what happened to the slow life I’m supposed to have…?” <<less

I waited so long for the virtual reality game to come out, but I died before it did.... more>>

Taida Isamu, a 35-year-old freelancer, has neither close friends nor a girlfriend to share his love with. His only purpose in life is playing VRMMOs. However, modern VRMMOs have become communication tools for the socially successful, and Isamu, a loser, finds himself constantly being hunted in every game he plays. When he becomes fed up with everything, including VRMMOs, due to their similarity to reality, Isamu receives a beta test acceptance notification for a new title.... more>>

That's when he comes up with the idea of hunting beginners. To vent his daily frustrations, he plans to gain knowledge in the beta version and level up faster than others, allowing him to unilaterally hunt down novices right after the game's release. Finally, on the day of the official release, he immediately tries to lure new players outside the city to player-kill them. However, his slightly remaining conscience leads him to provide detailed advice instead.

As he repeats this process, he gradually becomes known as the "Tutorial Guy" and gains the affection of other players. Eventually, he earns the trust of the game's management, and along with that, his real life also starts to improve. <<less

"When I woke up, I found myself reincarnated as the mid-boss of the tutorial of the epic RPG 'Spirit War Dungeon Magia.'"... more>>

"But I'm not just any mid-boss."

"My abilities are modest. My performance is lackluster. And my catchphrase is 'Hyahhaaaaaaaa!'"

"Not only do I lack companions, but I don't even have friends. On top of that, I have the incredible misfortune of always dying in the tutorial. I'm nothing but a pathetic bottom-tier boss."

"Of course, I know that my own future is not too bright. Furthermore, I have learned that my beloved sister is fated to die from an illness."

"Big Sister, I've made up my mind. I will crush all the unfair conventions of this world in one fell swoop."

"With my vast knowledge of games, I have decided to rebel against the established history."

"And so, as I 'conquer' the strongest hidden boss and the most traumatizing route boss in the game... I will grow into the leader of the 'monsters' that inhabit this world."

"Conquer the enemies of this world and 'conquer' all the unfairness."

"This is the story of an extraordinary party full of boss characters, a 'what if' tale that begins now." <<less

In the parallel world of Japan, a labyrinth has appeared and monsters have sprung up. The labyrinths, which at first were nothing more than a new disaster, have been transformed into a stage for getting rich quick thanks to the valuable resources they produce and the ‘cards’ that the monsters drop.... more>>

Monster cards that can summon monsters at will, adventurers who conquer the labyrinth with the power of the cards, dungeon TV that broadcasts their adventures, and a coliseum where monsters fight each other..... These activities have excited people's enthusiasm, and adventurers have become a coveted profession.

Utamaro Kitagawa, a high school student who is a mob character, sees his friend, who was also a mob character, rise to the top of the class caste as soon as he becomes an adventurer, and decides to become an adventurer himself.

Utamaro pulls out a million-yen pack to get a rare card that he can show off to everyone, but the Zashiki-warashi he gets is completely unattractive...?

A dungeon has appeared on the earth. It's a dungeon, like what everyone knows, a template dungeon. Suddenly, monsters appear in the dungeons that appear in various places, using a power that humans had never seen, like casting magic. The Earth, which has come to coexist with such dungeons, has been filled with unknown lifeforms, unknown technology, and skills created by the mana pollution caused by the appearance of dungeons.... more>>

That's good. No, it's not good.

The profession of adventurer was born, and each company bought the materials of demons that can be obtained and the items that can be obtained from the treasure chest for a large amount of money, and the world became an era of adventurers... That’s the templates, right?

...Well, it didn't happen. The reality is harsh, more than you think. Think carefully. The companies will buy large quantities of monster materials? Sure. But if it's just a sample for research, 100 bodies are more than enough, right? Yeah, that’s right. They didn’t keep buying. Therefore, there was no basis for an adventurer to be born. Of course, that means, anyone dives into the dungeon for no reward. Even if they have the skills, are they willing to risk their life? Of course, no.

Then, what do you think will happen? Fortunately, the weapons of the earth worked on the monsters. So, people were able to defeat them with a gun or missile. It's that easy.

...But they appear every day. I'm sure it's because they don't dive into the dungeon and thin out monsters on a regular basis. Well, if only a few dungeons appeared in the world, it was still good. But dungeons were everywhere. From dungeons with only weak monsters to dungeons with strong monsters.

The army fought with them every day. Using ammunition like hot water and shooting missiles like fireworks. Do you know what the result will be? I’m sure you know. In a situation where the dungeon is not profitable at all, it becomes a disaster, resources will go low and taxes will go high… Eventually, people abandoned all but the important cities. That sound like a disastrous situation, right? Well, in such a world, lawless zones are everywhere. And even if you want to do some trading, it’s not easy.

In such a world decades after that incident, I am still alive. And for the time being, I plan to save the world with the skill I have trained for decades. Secretly.

It's easy to save the world. I just need to use my skill "Equivalent Exchange Store". You see, it's in the corner, something like a vending machine. Hear me, it seems that 10 F-rank monster cores can be exchanged for 1 low-rank potion. <<less

Hirose Souta graduated from a creative vocational school and successfully got a job, but it turned out to be a black company. He somehow endured it for 3 years but decided to quit due to physical and mental exhaustion. He managed to resign by signing a confidentiality agreement about what happened at the workplace. After taking a 4-month break that also served as a rest period, he returned to his parents’ home and was looking for a new job when his mother Rie introduced him to a job opportunity.

It was a request to become the manager of a shared residence run by Rie’s grandmother. The reason was that the grandmother was hospitalized due to a worsening chronic illness and they needed new help.

Souta, who had never experienced a managerial position, tried to decline due to the weight of the responsibility, but reluctantly accepted due to the wishes of his parents, to whom he was always indebted.

And then he was informed. “Just to let you know in advance, the dormitory you’re going to only has female residents.”

That’s right, the shared residence Souta was going to manage turned out to be a girls’ dormitory.

A carefree, bright, and energetic high school girl. A high school girl who hates men and spews venom every day. A working adult who looks quite childish but wants to be seen as an adult. A shy but caring older sister who is also popular on social media.

All the girls living in this dormitory have immeasurable levels of attractiveness. Souta will deepen his relationships with these heroines. <<less

Was there a tyrannical Demon Lord needing extermination, or would I be tossed into the maelstrom of war? Whatever it was, I was afraid. I never wanted to be a Hero. I don’t want to harm another…… Ignore the nonsense I was spouting; there was nothing to fret over.

The Demon Lord was slain a thousand years ago, and 800 years had passed since the last war. The nobles didn’t treat us summoned like tr*sh; instead, we were kindly cared for. The Demons have been on good terms with Humans for some time now. Dangers, such as monsters, were being taken care of by the Guild and the Order of Knights. What’s more surprising is the fact that I wasn’t even a hero! Instead, I was unintentionally summoned!

It also turns out that this world was a world in which the three races, the Spirit World’s Magical Races, the Celestial World’s Divine Races, and the Mortal World’s Human Races, are kind neighbors. Here, everyone lives a peaceful and fulfilling life.

In summary, this other world was――at peace.

What’s my plan for the future? For my limited stay here, I will live this world to its fullest; going on a cultural exchange, sightseeing, then, after experiencing the festival that is only held once every ten years, …… I shall safely return home.

Liam Sera Banfield is a reincarnator.... more>>

He had reincarnated into a fantasy world of magic and swords, but at the time the civilization had already been making advancements into outer space.

The setting takes place in an intergalactic empire, a space opera-like universe where humanoid weapons and spaceships battle.

Liam, who had been reborn into an aristocratic family in a monarchic society, has the ambition to one day become an evil lord.

In his previous life, Liam had unfortunately lost everything and died in despair.

— It’s foolish to live for others.

Keeping those feelings in his heart, he has decided to fulfill his goal, but is instead worshipped as a virtuous ruler due to his difference in values.

My male childhood friend was a hero. A goddess transferred him to another world to become a hero.... more>>

He was tasked with preventing the revival of the evil god that threatened the entire world. That was the setting of the story. What about me then? I'm just an extra, supporting role. The reason why I ended up in this situation was simply that I died together with that b*stard, my so-called childhood friend. Thus, the goddess sent me along to act as a supporting, behind-the-scenes player.

According to legend, the hero would appear when the evil god was about to be revived. It was his duty to defeat the evil god along with four shrine maidens chosen by the goddess and bring about a peaceful era. Otherwise, the world would be destroyed. My job was to pave the way for him to achieve this goal and help love blossom between him and the shrine maidens.

To be honest, I’d rather die than have to babysit that b*stard, but... I’m not even allowed to complain about it. I don't care about the criticism from the peanut gallery about me being inadequate or incompetent. I did what I had to do, saving the world and getting the reward from the goddess—as a supporting role for the hero party.

That's why, please, O childhood friend of mine, PLEASE FIX THAT ROTTEN PERSONALITY OF YOURS ASAP!

Please do so before we reach the point of no return, while my sanity is still intact—or should I say, before I get a stomach ulcer due to stress.

Oh cr*p, those four are co— <<less
