One night, Oscar picked up the key to a safe he had once desperately searched for. The person who came with it became a living key was a woman, extraordinary in every aspect. Her tearful eyes, naive actions, even her name and appearance. The woman was oddly irritating. He was even displeased at having to ponder how to describe that irritation. So, he wanted to temporarily put it out of sight, in a place where it couldn't be seen.... more>>

“I... want to be by your side.”

It was too ridiculous to be sincere, and far too pathetic to be temptation.

Therefore, the one who was ensnared was undoubtedly an idiot.

Even when subjected to all kinds of insults, the woman approached until the end. On those small, soft palms, which knew no calluses, Oscar von Reinhardt was played with.

So, I must hold you accountable.

To you, who never had sincerity, not even for a single moment.

Until the very end...

To you, who even hid your name from me,

I will hold you accountable, very cruelly.

Oscar von Reinhardt – The head of the Reinhardt dukedom, with black curly hair and blue eyes. He owns the railway that crosses the Norfolk continent and the largest steel company on the continent. He is willing to do anything for his goals, even if it means kissing the back his enemy’s hand. He has brought his ruined family back to prominence through extreme efficiency. Therefore, he spurns himself for falling for the wiles of such ridiculous seduction, nor can he forgive the woman who made him feel this way.

Han Seo Ah – A mixed-race individual with brown hair and brown eyes. She has been an outsider from the moment she formed her first memory. Her appearance stands out, to the point she is suspicious of her birth. The starting point of her sin was when she came into existence. Therefore, she wishes to atone for all her wrongdoings; to her grandfather, and to that man whose mere presence makes her heart flutter. <<less

I was reborn as a mob after being the Demon King? How to survive as an insignificant chameleon.

Wade, a boy born in the slums and raised by terrible parents, finds a glimmer of hope when he becomes an apprentice adventurer. Enduring grueling training, he’s promised to be taught magic if he perseveres.... more>>

On the day of his fateful magic instruction, while others are granted promising fire and water magic, Wade receives what seems like the worst of luck—a magic called “Slow Magic.”

In despair upon realizing it’s a spell that makes him clumsy, Wade recalls memories of his past life as a corporate s*ave.

“Huh? ‘Slow Magic’? That sounds like gravity magic, a powerful spell!”

Yes! In this underdeveloped world, where the concept of gravity is largely unknown, Wade is underestimated.

Determined, Wade faces his newfound gravity magic head-on. Increasing his own weight boosts his attack power, while being lighter makes him more agile. He can even float lighter than air and pseudo-create objects by manipulating gravity’s focal point.

Thus, despite ridicule, Wade uses gravity to overcome those who mock him, defeat goblins, and even topple boss monsters.

Teaming up with a fellow unpopular magic user and a boy aspiring to be a hero, Wade delves deeper and deeper into dungeons in search of thrilling battles against the strongest foes. <<less

While stalking, I witnessed Seo Kang-woo kill someone. ... more>>

Hee-un developed a crush on his junior Seo Kang-woo, who always exuded a chilling aura even when smiling. Although there were many rumors surrounding him, he was captivated by the enigmatic Seo Kang-woo, whose true self no one knew. Wanting to know more about him, he even started stalking him. But he shouldn't have done that, for he ended up witnessing Seo Kang-woo commit a mu*der.

As I was about to send a report message, Seo Kang-woo called out to me.

[Special Side Story]

After joining a major company as a new employee, Hee-un still spends peaceful days with Seo Kang-woo. Seeing Hee-un's pretty antics that don't involve threats or violence, Seo Kang-woo's heart gradually changes too. Celebrating birthdays together and going on a trip to Italy, the two's daily life becomes increasingly sweet. Yet, Hee-un slowly builds secrets unknown to Seo Kang-woo, and he senses something subtly different about him.

[Preview]

With a blank expression, Hee-un asked back, "I must have looked so s*upid stalking you, so I'll stop."

"...Uh... Then, I, I'll keep following you."

"You'll keep following me?"

A hint of amus**ent flashed in Seo Kang-woo's slightly furrowed eyes.

Hee-un belatedly realized - Seo Kang-woo was toying with him. If he got bored of playing, he might kill him. He started thinking more rationally now. Seo Kang-woo is the culprit, and he's the witness. In other words, the mu*derer Seo Kang-woo would have no reason to let him live.

He was a dead person walking.

"Hic......"

He eventually broke into tears. It was too scary and unfair... <<less

People talk about Kwon Ihyeok and. The two must have been married in a past life. For 6 years, until the gangster became a respectable company CEO, Hyeseong was always by Ihyeok’s side. They were perfect partners. Until Hyeseong dropped a bombshell. ... more>>

“I’m going to become a farmer.”

Hyeseong abruptly announced his resignation and left Ihyeok’s side.

“Hyeseong. I can’t let you go.”

But Ihyeok, unwilling to easily let him go, begins actively investigating the reason for Hyeseong’s departure.

“Sir, by any chance…are you living next door to me?”

“Yes.”

There must be some scumbag who lured Hyeseong to a place like this. Ihyeok is convinced, and even does background checks to uncover Hyeseong’s secret, but he is missing a very important point.

“Strange. Why do you smell so sweet?”

“How much have you been drinking?”

“I don’t know. As much as was given to me?”

Ihyeok’s voice seemed normal, but Hyeseong knew. He was drunk now.

“I’ll bring you a blanket so sleep here.”

As Hyeseong got up to get bedding from his room…

“…?!”

Suddenly, Ihyeok sat up and grabbed Hyeseong’s arm, pulling him down. Caught off guard, Hyeseong fell onto the sofa.

“What are you doing…?”

He tried to break free but couldn’t.

“Strange. Why do you smell so sweet?”

‘Could it be…my pheromones are starting to flow?’

That was not a good sign at all.

“Sir. Step back for a bit.”

Then, out of nowhere, Ihyeok pressed his lips to Hyeseong’s neck. A tingling sensation began burning through his body.

“Sir, wait…ah…”

Ihyeok, who had been brushing his lips against him, slowly started licking and sucking his neck. <<less

When I return from gathering herbs, all that's left is the charred ground; my family has been reduced to ash.

Yet she cried pitifully and throws herself into the arms of her lofty, ethereal immortal lord.

He looked down with a cold expression: "The death of such lowly mortals is trivial; Fu Ling, do not let this disturb your Dao heart."

I endured in silence, biding my time like a dog who has lost its home.

Later, I astounded the land of Nine Provinces with a single sword strike, and with a cold laugh, I reduced them all to ashes:

"How does it feel to die by the hands of a lowly mortal?" <<less

Because that s*ave is actually the male lead of this novel and the long lost son of a duke.
So, if you don't want to be executed for abusing the male lead, just hand him over to me quietly.

To prevent a massacre ending and to collect the reward offered for the male lead, I risked my life to protect him.
I used him to escape from this miserable household and to fulfill the dreams I couldn't achieve in my previous life.

"Thank you, Duke."

When I exchanged the male lead for the reward, his face seemed stained with betrayal, but...
It doesn't matter.
I made sure to keep a strict line between us so that the male lead wouldn’t catch the rampant male lead affliction: obsession.
So now I plan to run away from him!

Five years later.
I finally managed to open a 'convenience store' in this romance fantasy world, and it’s a huge success!

One day, a suspicious customer visited me.

"Welcome!"

Even I, who had the knight commander, the mercenary king, and a priest—who were all famous in the whole empire by the way—as regular customers in the capital, had to catch my breath at the beauty of this customer.

"Are you looking for something?"
"Right here."
"Pardon?"
"She’s right in front of me."

His gaze was fixed directly on me.

"I’m sorry, dear customer, but I’m not for sale...."
"Master."

As I hurriedly bowed my head, I was startled by the familiar yet unfamiliar address from the guest’s mouth.

"You bought me, didn’t you? You must take responsibility to the very end. Like that time, when we shared a single blanket... and spent many nights together. Remember?"

...Wasn’t I supposed to be safe from the male lead’s obsession?
