[No Talent]

It was something I'd already known, but it stung a little more than usual today. Was I lacking in effort or talent? Or both? Was it my fault that I was living like this, or was it society’s?

In the years since Players, Streamers, Guardians, dungeons, and monsters became a part of our everyday life, my sister died from leukemia trying to support me, and my mom passed away from a disease we couldn’t afford to treat.

I went to sleep, and when I woke up the next morning to continue my futile life, I found… that I had somehow gone 10 years back in the past, to the day the world changed.
While going through the Tutorial, I realized something.

Everything’s too easy. Was I really talentless? <<less

The game is over, but the ending is bad. ... more>>

The end of mankind. Only one player survived.

At the moment it was all over, humanity’s final player received a message.

[DLC shop opens after clearing all single modes.] <<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

I am a cursed monster—a curse that can only be lifted by love. My head is covered in shiny blue scales and thick leathery skin with yellow reptilian eyes.... more>>

The prince who supposedly loved my powers ran away because he couldn’t kiss me. In a fit of anger, I drank heavily and taunted my male friend.

“Who would love a monster? Can you love me?”
“Yeah.”
“What? You would sleep with me?”

In that one haphazard moment, I had a taste of adult pleasure…
The curse was lifted!
I became a very lovely lady, just like my beautiful parents!

I love you too! I love @^#$& too…! I love…?

“Who is that?”

I’ve lost my memory. I have no idea who that friend was, the one I crossed the line with. <<less

The Era of Chaos.... more>>

For 665 centuries, the Demon King had invaded the human realm.

It was the brave Hero who put an end to that relentless war.

Through their sacred sacrifices, humanity barely survived.

However, this is the tale of a new Demon King.

Demon King Demiourgos, the 666th.

“I quit being the Demon King.”

With a single proclamation, he abruptly left the demon realm.

This is a story of a runaway Demon King and a Hero who becomes his subordinate.

Why did he quit being the Demon King? <<less

Vivian, the daughter of a duke who was possessed by another soul for a year due to the mistake of the Possession Bureau.... more>>

Accept the fairy’s offer to grant you one wish as compensation for your false possession.

However, due to the reputation ruined by the possessor, she is in danger of breaking off the engagement with the crown prince and says, “Make the crown prince want me!”

Yggdrasil, the World Tree of Norse Mythology, suddenly appeared on Earth. And with it came demonic creatures that ravaged entire cities.... more>>

Although not all hope is lost, due to the System that a few special humans had gained.

In this new world where only the strong survived, Min JaeHyun scrapes by regretting the wrong choices he’d made in the past… when one day, he gains the only Mythic item in the world.

The protagonist became a s*ave, facing annihilation due to the rampage of the strongest being in the world.... more>>

"Why are you going on a rampage from the start!"

In order to survive, they threw the protagonist at the human tranquilizer, 'Guide', who could calm him down.

"Jade, you're the Guide!"
"Huh?"

Why is everyone mistaking me for a tranquilizer instead of the protagonist? Before I could deny it, I met face to face with Harris, the strongest being in the world and my favorite.

"I don't need a Guide, so get lost!"
"That's a relief... No, Lord Harris, you're boiling over right now!"
"I said, get lost!"

I want to get lost too, but if you go on a rampage, I'll die no matter how much I try to get lost.

"Sleep well, our baby~"

I had no choice but to use lullabies and medicine to try to get some rest...

‘Huh? This is working? Could it be that I'm a tranquilizer too?’

Unfortunately, it wasn't, and I tried to find the real one before I died after being caught as a fake...

"It doesn't matter, Jade. Even if you're fake, I like you."

A tender voice filled with eerie words. Then, warm flesh touched me.

‘T-This is awakening heat!’

In the end, I, the fake tranquilizer, faced a situation that couldn't be resolved.

"I'm sorry, Lord Harris."

After saving the real Guide and protagonist, I escaped. I probably won't meet them again.

* * *

...Or so I thought,

"Hello, Jade."

Harris, who had somehow found me, smiled warmly.

"You're glad you left me behind, aren't you?" <<less

He became a hunter in 2018.
He retired three years later in 2021.
Two years later, on December 31, 2023, the apocalypse began.

I fell into a novel I wrote about ten years ago.... more>>

The problem is that this novel spirals into a tr*shy academy story, and the character I possessed is the main heroine's attempted assault offender.

The worst part is... in order for the world not to fall apart, I have to fulfill the role of the villain.

Damn it. <<less

“I need you to look out for me.”
“What?”
“Look at my situation. I can’t see anything.”... more>>

A woman who throws herself into the world to be loved, who gets up like a bull in a china shop even when she’s hurt, even when she hears the meanest words.

This is the story of two people who deceived each other until their unspoken hatred became their unspoken love. <<less

I was reincarnated as an extra in a world that would soon be destroyed.... more>>

I did not know who I was.

With the mentality of only seeking my own way of life, I decided to run away inheriting a mansion as a dowry. So, I took the gardener who tended the flowers in our house and we had the ceremony.

“Liddell, wasn’t it hard today?”

“Liddell, do you want to eat first?”

“It’s the weekend, why not go out together?”

Doing a good job, looking only at me! I thought I could have a happy marriage because I would make money and do my best.

“Why did you marry a man who had no position, no wealth, no power?”

My former fiancé, who broke off the engagement out of the blue, who now shows up and claims me, asked me.

“…Liddell. Is your marriage going well?”

“Absolutely, what could be wrong?”

“Why, after marriage, was your husband different from what I thought he was… Wasn’t he normal?”

Why does my former fiancé ask me this?

Moreover, my husband, whom I only considered docile.

“Hisch, just… What is that?”

He hid his hand behind his back while holding a monster the size of a house and with a tearful expression, he said:

“But, for Liddell…to get hurt, I hate it.”

I married because I wanted to live a normal life, but the identity of my modest husband is the most suspicious. <<less

For reasons unknown, I found myself transported to the familiar game world I knew.... more>>

With a sense of urgency, I decided to leverage the pledge system to rapidly grow stronger and find a way back to my original world.

After all, I had things awaiting me there—my job, friends, and most importantly, my family. <<less

I designed an escape game.... more>>

A game about escaping a labyrinth-like palace, incredibly grueling and filled with mystery.

Since it's just a game after all, I added villain NPCs based on my quirky tastes, cramming it with a dark and moody setting to relieve some stress.

It's a hardcore game I've crafted but...

Problem one: I'm trapped in it.

"Calm down. It's a place I created. If I keep my wits about..."

Problem two: The game's age rating just skyrocketed.

"...Damn. It's hit a Z-rating."

And it didn't just increase by a little.

[1] Z Rating: R 18+ <<less

On the day of my wedding, I discovered that my partner and friend had cheated on me.... more>>

“Lea, I’m pregnant And you know who the father is.” Betrayed by both of them, I felt dead inside, and when I woke up again, I had regressed to the past. I thought of it as a blessing from the gods, a chance to seek rightful revenge.

But… “Why! How could this happen!” My regression didn’t end. Even if my revenge succeeded, I still died and kept regressing. So this time, I faked my death, abandoned everything, and left. I even abandoned my name to escape the killer who kept on killing me. After my death, everyone started regretting and looking for me. Having abandoned everything, I disguised myself as a maid in the Violentus Castle to hide. But the owner of this castle is strange. “Should I have killed Reperentia, or should I have kept her locked up and watched over her?” He regretted my death, of course. “How can the supposedly dead Reperentia be openly walking around?”

He even knew my hidden identity without anyone knowing. The ruler of the north, Duke Laches Violetus. Is this man my salvation, or is he the insane killer who kills me and traps me in regression? <<less

Estelle, who lived a life married to the country due to being a queen. However, what returned was betrayal from the person she trusted the most. ... more>>

At the moment her breath ceased, Estelle made a vow. If she were to be born again, she would never become a queen. And when she opened her eyes, she arrived in a strange world, a strange house. There was a strange man there.

“There is only one thing you need to do. Just remember me,” he said to the princess who was reborn after over 150 years.

Can she safely divorce the country this time?

[Excerpt from the text]
“I…” The words blurted out before I could even think. “I want to go back to where I was.”

“That’s not possible,” the man firmly shook his head. “You may not have known, but decades have passed since that day. It’s impossible to go back to the same era.”

In the brief moment of losing consciousness, so much time had passed. It seemed that this place was certainly different from the afterlife in terms of the concept of time.

If decades had really passed, then it was obvious that the people I knew would have already died. If I couldn’t go back, where should I go now?

As I stood there dazed, the man calmly offered advice. “How about just being born again?” <<less

"Let's date!"... more>>

Because you like me, and I like you too!

On my 10th birthday, along with my past life, I remembered that this world was a romance fantasy novel. In addition to that, my current family will be ruined by the villain! Because of that, my beautiful life at the age of ten had a primary goal: to rehabilitate the villain—the first prince who was abandoned in the palace.

"Oho, you shouldn't use strength to suppress the weak."

"Conversation! Conversation! We have the wonderful means of conversation! Always choose to have a conversation first!"

"If the other party is hurt, even out of courtesy, ask if they're okay!"

Handsome! Well-raised! Someone who likes me so, so much! How could I not like someone like this?

But then... Could it be because he was raised too well?

"I'm sorry, we can't date right now."

"Why?"

"To truly earn your love, I must slay a dragon!"

That was something I said randomly while reading a romance novel...!

"I want to become a man worthy of being by your side. So, I'll catch a dragon!"

Crazy man! How could there be a dragon in this peaceful era! <<less

A vow was made in a place where stars are not visible, to carve one’s own star into that night sky.

One day, my mom got weird.... more>>

“Mom feels sorry for you. I died too early, so I didn't find you soon enough…”

Suddenly, Bonita's mother hugged her and cried like a baby. She suddenly said something strange.

“Bonita, you are actually the Duke’s only daughter.”

'My mom, I wonder if you've been drinking too much and that's why your mind messed up?'

Bonita was genuinely worried that her mother went crazy.

“This child is my daughter?”

To make matters worse, when the Duke finally arrived, he didn't look anything like Bonita.

But as soon as the Duke saw her, he hugged her tightly.

“You look alike Elodie, really...”

What will happen to Bonita, an ordinary country girl?

*****

“You're brave enough to imitating my dead wife in front of me."

“Oh, wait, ugh… !”

“If you keep fooling around, I will break your wrists, you know it.”

At that sincere threat, Aria narrowed her eyes and spoke.

“Try it.”

“You think I can't?"

"Surely, you'll regret it one day."

Because she was Elodie, the ‘dead wife’ whom the Duke loved so much. <<less

“I will sacrifice myself for the peace of the demon world!”... more>>

He’s a Demon King but he kept chattering as if he was a warrior that died for a country. That damn Demon King quickly chanted the spell and I left out a scream before completely wrapped by terrifying darkness.

“Bastard! I have always been a woman!!!”

The soul of a sword knight got swap into a body of delicate girl?! This is a romance story full of silliness between a handsome woman who defeated the Demon King and a naive man with fierce look! <<less

I was possessed as a villainess from a 19+ novel. A typical role that torments the heroine and leads me to death. ... more>>

I did not want to give up this good family, so I cut ties with the main characters. I spent a hectic time driving out my bastard brother, taking over as heir after him, and developing the top of my family business.

I could confidently say that I lived quietly without any involvement in the original work. Until the male leads started interfering with everything I did one by one.

"It's ridiculous that you don't adore me anymore."

Crown Prince Rexed fueled my reputation as his stalker.

"That's interesting, I want to experiment on you."

Doesn't the magic tower lord Icarus show dangerous desires?

Above all, the strangest thing is Duke Calix, the main male protagonist of the original work.

"I was waiting for you to come to visit me."

"What? I beg your pardon?"

"Now you're finally looking at me."

Why are you looking at me like a puppy waiting for its owner?

It seemed like something was going terribly wrong. Why are the male leads from the original hanging around me? <<less

I, Empress Irane Philotimeo Mai Veloaas, turned Epiphanes into an empire.... more>>

I’ve accomplished everything, welcoming a peaceful end.

No. That’s what I thought…!

“I will reward you generously for saving my life.”

“Why do you keep talking to Dad like that, my princess?”

Upon opening my eyes, I found myself in the body of a descendant of mine, 100 years later.

But something is strange.

Although I was certain that I established a mighty empire, the palace is on the brink of collapse, and the so-called king is dragged around by the nobles.

More importantly…

It pains my heart to reveal the empire’s shameful history. However, to prevent history from repeating itself, I leave this writing for future generations.

May tyrants like Irane Philotimeo Mai Veloaas never appear again.

Despite being someone deserving of respect, I, the Empress of Justice, am called a tr*sh Tyrant! As I tried to correct my stigma, a madman appeared.

“Why are you fussing over me like this? Have you deluded yourself into thinking you’re my fiancé?”

“Really? Do you want to get engaged? Shall we? I’m all for it. I thought we’d hold off because we’re young, but I didn’t expect you to feel the same way, Princess.”

Can I safely attain spiritual enlightenment in this reincarnation? <<less
