In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the gaming industry has seen an explosion in popularity. One of the most popular games ever released is Mystery Maker, a VR RPG where players can create baffling puzzles in a virtual space and challenge other players to solve them.... more>>

As a promotional stunt for the game's upcoming sequel, eight real life great detectives have been hand chosen by Kurata Chikage, executive director of MegalodonSoft, to challenge each other to a match in a demo of Mystery Maker 2. Among them are Kamo Touma, a magazine contributor well known for his investigative work overturning false convictions, and his wife's cousin Ryuuzen Yuki, a recently debuted mystery novelist.

However, on the day of the demo event, the detectives are all drugged. When they awaken, they find their smartwatches are locked to their wrists and they are shown videos of their families and loved ones being held hostage. They are contacted by a Gamemaster, who tells them that if they wish to save themselves and their families, they must play a death game called "Delicious Death for Detectives".

As scheduled, the eight of them will play Mystery Maker 2's demo, and the Detectives will challenge the mu*der puzzles created by the mu*derer. If the Detectives are not able to reveal the mu*derer and their tricks before the time limit, all players will be killed. However, if the mu*derer is exposed, both they and their hostages will be killed. And if a Detective makes an accusation but gets even the tiniest detail wrong, they will be mu*dered by the Gamemaster's secret accomplice, the Executioner.

Now the only way for the eight detectives to survive is to expose the mu*derer and Executioner lurking among them, even if they must risk their lives and those of their compatriots to do so.

Which is an especially big problem for Kamo, because he's the one who's been chosen as the mu*derer! <<less

A customer walked into the bar.

With short blue-gray hair, metal earrings, a ripped denim jacket, the young man leaned against the bar counter, lost in thought, clutching his phone while listening to someone on the other end.

Lu Huaiqian glanced at him a few times.

Unexpectedly, the young man suddenly turned his head, red-eyed and with a cold expression, “Have you never seen someone heartbroken before?”

Lu Huaiqian asked the young man what he wanted to drink.

The young man replied confidently, “I don’t know, anything will do.”

Lu Huaiqian began mixing a drink. He tossed the bottle into the air with his left hand and caught it with his right, glancing at the young man in the process.

Their eyes met, and the young man sneered, “Be careful not to drop the bottle and lose your salary.”

Lu Huaiqian chuckled at the remark and placed the finished drink in front of the young man.

“It’s a heartbreak c*cktail. It might taste bitter at first, but the more you drink, the sweeter it gets.”

Nevertheless, he failed to realize that the heroine could hear his and the protagonist’s thoughts.

Why did she have to be an extra s*ave among so many characters?

It was a man who has never enjoyed true happiness, and has been tormented by his natural strength since childhood. But he has never been able to receive love.

“Ugh…”

She felt so sorry for him because he wasn’t even able to meet his fated one yet.

So she gave him herbs and water.

“If only I could break these chains!”

She shoved the herb she had just chewed upon into his lips.

“What…? cough!”

She could feel the muscles in his jaw stiffen.

She didn’t have the time to think about the fact that this was a first for him. He had grown up being called a freak, and he didn’t even know that he was being cared for because he was ill. It never crossed his mind. <<less
