The once wealthy and powerful Ryuuzen clan has been all but destroyed. Their misfortune began in 1960, when a majority of the family was wiped out when their vacation villa was buried under a landslide. However, search and rescue teams discovered something even more shocking: A majority of the bodies they discovered showed obvious signs of having been mu*dered before the landslide.... more>>

As though it were a trigger, what came to be known as "The Curse of the Ryuuzen Clan" spread throughout the descendants of the family's only survivor. By mu*der, by su*cide, by accident... it seemed none who held the name "Ryuuzen" could live to see the age of 35, and now, the family has been reduced to a single woman, lying in a hospital bed, days away from death.

Kamo Touma was once just another of the endless parade of sleazy tabloid journalists looking to exploit a prominent family's tragedy to sell magazines, but Ryuuzen Rena's kindness melted his frozen heart, driving him to quit his old job and become an investigative journalist specializing in overturning cases of false arrest. Eventually, he and Rena were married, but now, the curse threatens to steal away their happiness.

Kamo prays for a miracle, and his prayers are answered by the Hourglass of Miracles, an artifact spoken of in rumors and urban legends, said to grant one wish to anyone who obtains it.

"Meister Hora", a guide for those who obtain the hourglass, tells Kamo there is only one way to break the curse and save Rena: He must travel back in time to the year 1960 and catch the culprit of the original Ryuuzen Family massacre.

Who was the culprit of the mu*ders that took place almost 60 years ago? Why did they steal away the lives of the Ryuuzen clan? What is the true nature of the "Curse of the Ryuuzen Clan?" And perhaps most mysteriously of all... What is Meister Hora's goal in all this?

“The story of a new continuation weaves together the disappearing NPC girl who was supposed to vanish while waiting for those who didn’t come in the player room of a full-dive VRMMO that faced depopulation and service termination.

She, reborn as a generic pseudo personality, and her master dive into a hidden action-based RPG virtual world, aside from some individuals with fewer restrictions, where sensations other than pain related to the strangely real monetary system and life are liberated. Bringing in self-made modules, including AI, seems possible in a place where the management seems abandoned by the operators.

But amidst this trio of women, there’s a lone black-robed male wizard named Farsa. Despite being a court magician and a member of the Demon Lord’s Four Heavenly Kings, he joins the hero’s party as well.

In the day, he fights alongside the heroes as a human, and at night, he works for the Demon Lord’s army as a demon.

Damn it!　If I don’t do something, the heroine whom I’m most attracted to will be stolen away and thawn away by a pick-up hero. I absolutely cannot let that happen.

“Hey Fake. I don’t need you anymore, so can you quit?”... more>>

Immediately after defeating the Demon King, Seti, the fake hero, was suddenly fired by the real hero.
He was active mainly in combat, taking the place of the hero whenever he had to.

The hero is also a prince of the Holy Land, and he is supposed to marry his four beautiful fiancées, who are also members of his party, after defeating the Demon King.
Therefore, Seti, whom he had secretly hired, seemed to be nothing but an obstacle.

Although he knew of the hero’s ulterior motive, Seti readily accepted his dismissal.

“Good, and while we’re at it, let’s quit the assassination ring and be truly free!”

Yes.

At this time, the hero made two mistakes.

The first was that he had hired Seti without knowing that he was a top-class assassin who belonged to an assassination organization that reigned supreme in the underworld throughout the continent.

The other was that the four fiancées had long been aware of the impostor’s existence.

“I am breaking off my engagement with you as of this moment!”

Sure enough, all of the fiancées left the heroes and went after Seti, who was really in favor of them. <<less
