That summer afternoon, spent beside the being who had become the heaviest in my world, with the verdure of the season deepening within the confines of my lone space, self-isolated from others. Solitude was no longer an option for me. A life without Woonu only promised loneliness.... more>>

I lost my family and experienced the loneliness that lingered in their absence, living a lonesome life without holding anyone close to my heart, stewing in my solitude. Loneliness and solitude cannot coexist. Only those who have chosen solitude know of this truth.

Solitude is a blank, and loneliness is a dearth that seeks to be filled. Because solitude is closer to nonpossession than it is to resignation, while loneliness is like a jar with a leaky bottom. That imperfectly solid blank of mine, built from my fleeing of loneliness, became desperate to contain a whole being.

Woonu, having felt the rain at the tip of his fingers, arm stretched beyond the eaves, suddenly straightened his legs and leaned his upper body forward.

“Huh? A green frog!”

“Where? Are you sure you didn’t see wrong?”

“There, over there! Oh, oh, it’s jumping!”

“Oh, there really is one.”

“Where did it come from? Has it always lived here?”

I quietly gazed at the side of his face, his mouth agape with a bright smile adorning it.

Where did you come from? Where did you come from for it to feel as though you’ve always been here? <<less

Xiao Qing makes a solemn vow in front of her good friends. If she gets married, it will not be with some hot stock with momentum just to rise rapidly. Rising so quickly will certainly not last long.
Neither will she marry an unpopular stock that has been falling. If you wait until all hair on your head had become white but still you have not risen, you will find that you have no qualms to jump from the top of a building.... more>>

Better to wait to find a potential stock with good and bright future prospects. However, it is very difficult to find a potential stock, so Xiao Qing has no qualms about wandering the world, marriage completely out of mind.

A calm and a healing romantic story unfolding in the warm Kingdom of Bolavis!... more>>

Jersha suffered from the scars of the burn marks on her face which was caused due to a fire incident in the royal palace where she used to reside as a child.

Justinian sat in front of Jersha on his knee.

“Why did you choose me… … ?”

“Because I wanted to meet you.”

Was I possessed by a queen? Am I a queen now?

The red-haired King Sidrain walked through the door. He strode along with a very unpleasant and irritated-looking face and growled as he grabbed Iris' wrist. Her eyes shot open in surprise, as he'd appeared unexpectedly in the middle of the night.

“I don't like doing this with you once a month,” he said through clenched teeth.

What does this mean? she thought, feeling panicked.

"But it's up to you and me to produce an heir. If you behave like last month, I'll make you suffer."

What does that mean? 

“This is the only thing you do that's queenly anyway.”

What on earth is he talking about? She was at a loss for words.

“Well, let's make an heir, Your Majesty,” he said sarcastically. <<less

File #0001:... more>>

Suspect: Erika Guruh

Alias: Omen

Character Profile: sinister-looking, extremely rude, notorious

Deduction: No doubt she’s the perpetrator. Besides, all evidence found points straight at her.

Facts: It’s an open secret that the accused and the victim have been at each other’s throats and that the beef between them worsened after speculations of the suspect desiring to snatch the victim’s boyfriend came to light. No wonder when the victim was found at death’s doors on the premises of a construction site, the suspicion was immediately pointed towards the suspect.

However, the situation is even more convoluted than it seems due to the suspect running away with her thug-like motorcycle-taxi-driver, despite being under house arrest. This act by the suspect only stands to further strengthen the suspicions towards her. The suspect was also the first person to arrive at the crime scene of the following victims.

My Mission: Prove that the accused is, in fact, innocent. And to find the actual perpetrator. <<less

This stands at the forefront of strategy guides to Life (a shitty video game)!... more>>

Life is a bad video game. This commonplace phrase is, unfortunate as it might be, the truth.

After all, Life has no simple, easy rules. The rules it does have are nothing but irrational and unfair. The strong claim that Life has a high level of freedom, but the weak have no choice but to cope with an overwhelmingly disadvantageous design.

That’s why it’s a sh*t game.

Since I, Japan’s leading gamer who has experienced and mastered a multitude of games, say so, there can be no mistake.

— However, that person, on top of having mastered gaming to about the same level as I, declared to me that Life is a god-tier game.

Destined to be a top-tier character, that person is the school’s perfect heroine, Hinami Aoi. And to top it off, she even says she will teach me the rules of Life?

…… Normally, I wouldn’t believe such a thing. However, Hinami Aoi is someone who does not fit into a frame like ‘normal’ at all!
