He was Madat, the most powerful and greatest high priest of Kandar, one of the five places in the continent.... more>>

Although he was a human closest to God, while at the same time, a representative of God, he couldn’t at least be freed from the curse strangling him since he was born.

Black hair, black eyes.
She was Seren, the one who resembled the mermaid in a legend orally passed down, said to be a symbol of misfortune in the world.

She, who was captured as a thank you gift that would be offered to Madat, whispered to him to kill all the villagers who had betrayed her.

“Then what will you give me? If you ask me for a favour for one reason or another, I expect that you would have something to offer to me. I don’t think you’re naive to the point you wouldn’t know that.”

“I will be able to offer an exhilarating time to Lord Madat.”

Seren was a smart and cunning woman, and at the same time, an unique woman,

And so, Madat chose her.

****

“I love you.”

The person whom Madat loves dies no matter what.

The beginning of the curse

Is ‘Awakening.’ <<less

I was running toward the subway ticket gate when I accidentally bumped into a man. Looking up, I was greeted with the man's beautiful face. His beauty stunned me for a moment and by the time I realized it, the man had put a cloak over me and then the next thing I knew... My life in confinement had begun. ... more>>

Huh...? How did it come to this....? <<less

As soon as I finished eating and closed my eyes, my daily life was gone.... more>>

In the building, there was a song that was so lively and scary.
There were strange and suspicious creatures everywhere.
A twisted hospital with strange creatures roaming around every corner.

After several attempts to escape from this place, I finally looked up and shouted—
I'm the Chosen One.
I'm the Perfect One.
Therefore, I will see this path through to the end.

I will not run from reality.

▶ A Quick Preview ◀

My heart was pulled out. I finally died.

"Huh?"

No, I'm still alive. My heart beats normally inside my body. I woke up gasping for air, clutching my heart and crying silently. I am back again. It starts all over again.

"Why? How come?"

I hate this. I don't want to go through that again. I can't do anything. I'm scared. I can't. I can't do it, so just let me die.

I saw a window over there. This place was on the 14th floor. If I jumped from here, I could die properly.
I approached the window and opened it wide. I climbed onto the windowsill, I let go of my grip on the wall and threw myself down.

When I fell, I saw the inside through the downstairs window.
One person was being dissected alive on the operating table.
A strange doctor looking out the window looked at me and tilted his head.

Crazy patients roaming around like zombies.
Two men with connected heads reached out at me.
Dozens of severed wrists were stuck upside down on the table, fluttering like sea anemones.

This is hell. Let's die and escape. <<less

This is a guidebook for a love simulation game set in a virtual reality called the Second World.... more>>

The only player invited to that place is Seo Jia.

In order to fulfill her contract with the game company, she must clear all the endings and write a guidebook.

Unfortunately, she’s an expert in nothing but bad endings. And to top it off, the setting is in the ancient Hittite kingdom.

Can Jia clear all the endings and complete the guidebook?

[Excerpt from the Main Story]

“Yes, this game has no happy endings.”

As if he could read Jia’s mind, Tae-eul quickly explained.

“If you’re lucky, you’ll get a Merry Bad Ending or just a Bad Ending.”

“Then what is the goal of the player…?”

“The Merry Bad Ending.”

The sound of a bell ringing echoed in the meeting room.

Merry Bad Ending? Isn’t it a miserable ending where only the game characters are happy while the player suffers mentally?

“Wait, what exactly is a Merry Bad Ending…?”

“It’s exactly what you’re thinking. It’s an ending where the game characters become obsessed with the player, imprison and monitor them, with no dreams, hopes, or future. So, it’s an unhappy ending for ordinary players. But of course, for the targeted players, it will be an extremely happy ending.”

Jia couldn’t say a word. It felt like someone had given her the game she had always dreamed of. <<less

She thought he was the savior who would prevent the fall of her family, but he was an invader who drove her to the bottom.

“I gave you a choice, and the decision is up to you, Ms. Han Seo-Yoon.”

“Up to me... Why are you doing this? What did I do wrong?”

‘Not because you did anything wrong, but because you stand out.’

Tension and excitement are turned into hatred and contempt, and Seo-Yoon's heart is trampled down before she can even confirm the identity of her emotions.

Love? Of course she didn't love him.

Insanity and obsession felt in a calm consensus.

The more they tried to escape, the more they were tied up, the affectionate oppression.

“Nothing started it, as you said, but it makes no sense to end it.”

Is there any way to get away from him before being thoroughly broken? <<less

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

Wen Zhao mysteriously transmigrated as villainous Mozun, Wen Fengming, from a xianxia novel he had read.... more>>

In the original story, Mozun committed a lot of atrocities. Upon suffering from demonic backlash, he betrayed his shizun, injuring his legs and drowned the immortal sect in blood; caused his xiao-shidi’s cultivation to be half-ruined, then he even ripped out the inner core of the sect’s guardian beast. His actions caused the world of the immortals to fall into great chaos. Eventually, he was attacked from all sides, condemned by heaven and earth, his bones crumbling to ashes.

Wen Zhao: …I think I can still salvage this.

Just as he was about to fight to change his destiny, he suddenly discovered—

The above plot didn’t happen at all; he transmigrated to that night when he fell into qi deviation.

His shidi, exhausted from protecting him, tugged on his cuff with a tearful face.

The prideful huge sect guardian, who drained his entire monster qi to suppress demonic qi, turned into a pocket-size tiny beast and fell into his arms.

And his beloved shizun blocked a fatal attack for him, staining his white clothes with blood. With a fiery gaze, his shizun extended his hand to him and said, “Sinful disciple, come here.”

In the cultivation realm, rumor has it that Wen Fengming became demonised.

He also soared to become everyone’s favorite.
