"Your Highness, there’s something I’d really like for my birthday."... more>>

"What is it?"

"Will you promise to listen?"

Then the man blatantly laughed.

But who would point out his arrogance – a young Northern Duke who’s not even afraid of the Emperor? He could even get a throne if he wished for it.

But it was just a sweet lover’s birthday wish.

"Alright. I swear."

So, Juliet spoke lightly,

"Please break up with me. I don’t love you anymore."

A fiance just for show. A succession of meaningless nights.

Now is the time to end seven years of unrequited love. <<less

“Are you eating in this situation?”... more>>

“Of course! I’ll have to keep savoring the taste until I die. Do you want one?”

She was reincarnated in a novel as Luana, the abandoned princess.

And her death was already decided.

She just wanted to let people know about her cooking talent, but she was misunderstood as a witch because of her cheese jerky!

The General of the conquering army, Duke Legion, who had lost his sense of taste, took her to the Empire for her extraordinary jerkies and to break the curse that had come down from generation to generation.

“It is delicious, isn’t it?”

“Prepare the same for the dinner.”

She was happy to be able to cook and eat as much as delicious food as she wanted…

But now, she also wanted to look after Legion.

‘Eat three meals a day, and make sure to make dessert. I’m sure he will be able to gain some weight…!’

–

The Duke took the jerky from the princess. On the surface, it was no different from any beef jerky.

But when he took a bite of it, it felt like a new world had opened up.

The jerky, made by the princess, felt more tender than the others as he gently crushed it with his teeth.

The taste of condensed meat smudged his tongue as he chewed on. It was just as she said.

He could feel the savory taste of the spicy meat, and at the end of the day, he wanted to have more.

The desire that he had, faded for a while.

“I didn’t really want anything, but now I think I do.” <<less

On one spring evening when I was eight years old, I, Erica, Duke of Aurelia’s daughter, realized something.... more>>

Huh, I have reincarnated into a fantasy world, haven’t I?

Moreover, it was the romance-fantasy girl game that had the reputation of being bloody, 『Liber Monstrorum ~Phantom Beasts and the Winter Princess~』

The face reflected in the mirror was that of the villainess character of that game.

After repeatedly harassing many characters, including the heroine, she would die without exception, signaling the beginning of an event called the bizarre incident. She was a villain who deserved to get the consequences!

—I absolutely don’t want a destiny like that, though?

No, since I have remembered the memory of my previous life, I will make sure that kind of thing does not happen.

In my previous life, I was harassed immensely by an irrationally angry yandere man who thought I was in love with him.

My cause of death, too, was from being stabbed by another yandere man who I only had talked with a few times…

Now that I have become the haughty villainess Erica, I shouldn’t encounter more misunderstandings like with the previous life’s yandere men anymore, right…?

In that case, it will be fine as long as I deal with the death flags that I may have raised myself.

All right! First of all, before the bizarre incident begins at the Magic Academy, I will strike down the death flags accordingly!!

—Or so I thought, but it seems that I am about to die.

Eeh, how did this happen—!? <<less

After she’d threatened the male lead’s father into marriage, I possessed the villainess Evelia. In the original, she was kicked out after bullying the young male lead.... more>>

“Let’s break up.”

“…What are you saying?”

“The Duke doesn’t like me either, so I don’t want this marriage.”

I didn’t want to get caught up in the original story so I asked the male lead’s father for a divorce. Except…

“Once we got engaged, you became mine. I won’t break off this marriage.” The man who was supposed to despise me refuses.

“Are you sure you can’t be Ruth's mom? Is it because you don’t like Ruth?” Even the original male lead cried and begged me to be his mother.

Why the hell is everyone acting like this? <<less

“Is it my wedding…. today?”... more>>

A meaningless death, and when I opened my eyes…. I possessed a character?

I couldn’t believe I was stuck in a rated 19 novel.

My soon to be husband comes from a cursed family. A curse that was taken on behalf of the Imperial Family. Duke Leonis Cardian.

‘……Celia Montague has a clue how to solve the curse.’

‘I think we have enough time for now, so let’s think about it next time.’

The two had no idea what the other’s thoughts were, and so Celia’s relationship with the male lead began.

I had a wedding ceremony, and I thought we had a lot of skinship between us.

However, I couldn’t bring myself to complete the joining with a night of intimacy.

‘No, you don’t need to touch me! You keep coming to me!”

‘You won’t see me? What about the curse?!’

I’m feel sorry for Leonis, but I have to hang on! Yet what can I do, the worries have to go first.

“You have to see if you can handle it or not.”

“There’s no use crying and begging later. I won’t let you out of the bedroom.” <<less

The once wealthy and powerful Ryuuzen clan has been all but destroyed. Their misfortune began in 1960, when a majority of the family was wiped out when their vacation villa was buried under a landslide. However, search and rescue teams discovered something even more shocking: A majority of the bodies they discovered showed obvious signs of having been mu*dered before the landslide.... more>>

As though it were a trigger, what came to be known as "The Curse of the Ryuuzen Clan" spread throughout the descendants of the family's only survivor. By mu*der, by su*cide, by accident... it seemed none who held the name "Ryuuzen" could live to see the age of 35, and now, the family has been reduced to a single woman, lying in a hospital bed, days away from death.

Kamo Touma was once just another of the endless parade of sleazy tabloid journalists looking to exploit a prominent family's tragedy to sell magazines, but Ryuuzen Rena's kindness melted his frozen heart, driving him to quit his old job and become an investigative journalist specializing in overturning cases of false arrest. Eventually, he and Rena were married, but now, the curse threatens to steal away their happiness.

Kamo prays for a miracle, and his prayers are answered by the Hourglass of Miracles, an artifact spoken of in rumors and urban legends, said to grant one wish to anyone who obtains it.

"Meister Hora", a guide for those who obtain the hourglass, tells Kamo there is only one way to break the curse and save Rena: He must travel back in time to the year 1960 and catch the culprit of the original Ryuuzen Family massacre.

Who was the culprit of the mu*ders that took place almost 60 years ago? Why did they steal away the lives of the Ryuuzen clan? What is the true nature of the "Curse of the Ryuuzen Clan?" And perhaps most mysteriously of all... What is Meister Hora's goal in all this?

There exist in this world a set of six daggers that carry a terrible curse: the ability to inflict a death beyond time. Those under the daggers' curse shall reincarnate without end, never able to know happiness and always drawn to die once more by the dagger. This is the story of "Raine" and "Marie", two souls bound by the daggers' curse to kill one another, over and over again.... more>>

France, 1243. Lapis Lazuli Castle is the name of an insignificant relay fort nestled away in a forest east of Carcassonne. Its ruler, Count Geoffroy, and his only daughter, Marie, are both believed to be insane. The root cause of their shared madness is the mysterious disappearance of Geoffroy's wife three years ago, which caused Geoffroy to grow detached from humanity and cast Marie into a deep depression. After three years of wandering in a state halfway to nonexistence, Marie works up the nerve to ask her chief bodyguard, Sir Raine, to investigate her mother's death, confiding that on the night of her mother's disappearance, she had witnessed something impossible. However, her investigation only prompts a new tragedy.

The French-German border, 1916. As World War I rages on, Raine and Marie's latest reincarnations live the life of a sub-lieutenant in the French army and a medic with the Red Cross, respectively. The two lovers are reunited at the site of the Battle of Verdun, but no sooner have they met then Raine finds himself faced with a barrage of impossible circumstances. An enemy soldier's head suddenly vanishes, right before his eyes. One of his subordinates reports the same thing happening to an ally. Four more headless bodies vanish from a flooded bunker in the minute he looks away. These baffling events are a prelude to the return of their old tragedy.

Northern Hokkaido, 1989. Kimiyo, age eighteen, is already dying, an inoperable tumor in her hypothalamus leaving her with less than a year to live. Refusing to despair in the face of her tragic circumstances, she spends her remaining days with her friends at "The Library at the End of the World", a private library so called due to its isolated nature. One day, a man named Kito approaches her out of the blue, regaling her with a story about a set of cursed daggers, knights in the 13th century, and the two of them being cursed, fated lovers. Naturally, Kimiyo is intensely skeptical, but the events that come next don't require her to believe in them.

Arriving at the scene of these three tragedies is Snowy, an enigmatic figure of indeterminate gender who claims to be "a detective charged with managing the world's chaos". <<less
