Kang Hara (Characteristic: (former) Mang-dol fan) has been working as an E-rank civil servant Hunter for ten consecutive years.... more>>

She received a chance to have a second awakening.

She met a ‘Constellation’, which all Hunters longed to meet.

‘Finally, I’m also enjoying an S-class splendid life!’

Though, this constellation was a little weird.

“What? What do I have to do?”

[Quest: “The Stick of Love”.

If ‘Kang Hara’ and ‘Yoon Seheon’ doesn’t kiss, they can’t use their skills ♡]

Is there a constellation that’s crazy about making people date?

The other part is the number one journalist that Koreans like, even!

“This isn’t becoming an S-class, but an express train ticket to becoming an S-class s*xual harasser on the front pages of the newspapers!”

[Reward: Select an additional S-rated skill]

“Have you really gone mad? Enough of that!”

[The reward is being changed.]
[Reward: Unconditional success when purchasing tickets to the first row of a concert!]

“Can I kiss your forehead?”

She thought that she should do it as she received Yoon Seheon’s contemptuous gaze.

Wasn’t this a bargain? <<less

It’s only natural to want to live if you’re going broke.

“Decline? Even though I’m here? Who would dare!”

Plum blossoms eventually fall.

But when the cold winter passes and spring comes, plum blossoms shall bloom again.

“But I’m gonna die first before Mount Hua gets revived! If you’re gonna go bust, might as well do it right, you bastards!”

She harbors intense hatred for the Emperor of Abelron Empire, who destroyed her kingdom, wishing to die by his hand.

“I heard she’s twenty-one, the age when a woman is most beautiful.”

Intent only on revenge, Celiya enters the old Emperor’s chamber.

That night, a horrific event occurs, and Celiya joins hands with Dietrich, known as ‘the Emperor’s mad dog.’

“Don’t expect much from me. I have a different reason for keeping you alive.”

His icy voice brushed past Celiya’s ears.

Just one year.

The time she could endure with her terminal condition.

“I want to be your real lover, not a fake one, if you wish.”

His indifferent gaze now gone, becoming unexpectedly tender.

Can Celiya truly bring down the vast Empire of Abelron with this man? <<less

“April wouldn’t be dead if you hadn’t pulled that crazy stunt with the Second Prince.”... more>>

Brioden’s disgrace.

The woman who had an affair with her sister’s husband.

And all she had gotten in return was shame and the death of her sister.

So Cecilyn made her decision.

She would kill the Second Prince one way or another. In order to do that, she would have to marry Ludwig, the man who had started this tragedy, and the man who had rejected her so many times.

“Please marry me.”

“…….”

“I will kill the Second Prince for you.”

“And?”

“I will make you Emperor.”

“……Ha!”

He laughed and grabbed the doorknob behind her.

“Why?”

Her fine brow knitted as if she hadn’t expected resistance.

“You should have been more prepared if you were going to propose to me.”

Clack.

“On this night, in my own room.”

And the door closed. <<less

Kim Dokja does not consider himself the protagonist of his own life. Befitting the name his parents gave him, he is a solitary person whose sole hobby is reading web novels. For over a decade, he has lived vicariously through Yu Junghyeok, the main character of the web novel Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse (TWSA). ... more>>

Through Junghyeok, Dokja has experienced secondhand the trials of repeatedly regressing in time, in search of an end to life-threatening “scenarios” that force people to act out narratives for the amus**ent of god-like “Constellations.”

After reading 3,149 chapters—long after all other readers lost interest—Dokja finally resigns himself to the story ending. However, he receives an enigmatic message from the author, stating that the story will soon be monetized, before his surroundings suddenly go dark.

He swiftly realizes that fiction has become reality and he is now living through TWSA. Although he is the singular omniscient reader of the events yet to come, his success in the scenarios is not guaranteed—but perhaps his advantage will empower him to step into the protagonist role that never suited him before. <<less

A commoner girl.... more>>

Olivia didn’t develop immunity to those disgusting words. Titles such as the first female university student and the best graduate became meaningless.

But one day…

The Herod royal family offered her the royal flower, Noah Astrid. Even though it seemed to be a flower full of poison, there was no way not to hold it and she couldn’t help but love the first flower she held.

Because it was like salvation.

“Where is the princess? She is supposed to attend an event with me today?”
Herod’s cynical and self-righteous King, the father-in-law.

“Olivia. If there is anything that you’re upset with Noah, tell me anytime.”
A beautiful queen, the mother-in-law.

“You’ll stay with me today, right?”
Even the cute youngest member of the royal family loved Olivia.

Except for one person, her husband, Noah Astrid.

He knelt down on his knees, put shoes on her feet, and held a glass of water to her mouth, telling her to drink it.
Then, he whispered cruelly with that beautiful face.

“Think carefully about what I should have received and what you have to pay me in exchange for marrying you. It’s not difficult.”

What she must pay for her salvation

It was the thing she hated the most in the world.

* * *

Noah watched in a daze as his salvation fell over the sea.

“OLIVIA!!”

She was limp, bleeding and dying.

Only then did he realize that her existence alone was already salvation.

The price for salvation should not be paid by her… but by him. <<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

One day, the indifferent witch Gweneviere Lodante decides to adopt an orphan girl, Larisa.... more>>

“To teach her…?”

William wondered if the child had immense magical potential.

“No.”

The answer surprised him.

“I’m going to marry her to you.”

After a moment of silence, William regained his senses.

“What?”

“I’ll marry her to you.”

William barely managed to restrain himself from shouting:

“Are you mad?”

“…….”

“She’s too young.”

“She is for now. But ten years will fly by.”
Gweneviere stroked Larisa’s forehead and closed her eyes. Feeling the exhaustion of fifty lost years wash over her. Who’s calling who crazy? A madman who dares to stab his own heart in front of his mother.

Gweneviere sighed.

“You’ll fall in love with this child. Even if I try to stop you, you won’t listen. Not even death will part you. If death tries to take her, you’ll offer your heart to turn back time...”

William was at a loss for words. <<less

And Reneb, returned from death, volunteers as a pawn for peace between empires to avoid dying again.

But the warmongering, mu*derous emperor of the enemy nation…

“You seem very cold.”

“If you need warmth, I can share.”

Unexpectedly attentive, “Do I need to carry you out of the carriage?” and unexpectedly tender, “Is it hard to sleep alone? Perhaps you missed being in my arms.” he was annoyingly sly! <<less
