The violent desire that had been hidden underneath his indifferent, gray eyes intensified the moment I gave him my consent, and he warned me that he would break my world. Within the murky fog of dread, I felt an overwhelming sense of relief.

"...I'd prefer that."

If you refuse the game, you will become a doll!

If you lose the game, you will become a doll!

If you clear the game, you will be rewarded!

Bai Youwei trembled while jumping into Shen Mo’s arms. “I’m scared! I’m just a weak girl who cannot tie a chicken (has no abs in hand)…” (T/N: tying a chicken and abs are homophones of (fu ji) in Chinese)

A standard question and answer on internet forums, people of leisure indulge in such fantasies.

I killed a human being.

Remarkably, I don’t even care.

I could never be a protagonist.

The opposite of a taker is not a taker.

It’s the giver.

That’s the protagonist.

A hero.

If I can’t be a hero.

If I can only continue to be deprived.

If I can’t be a giver.

I should at least be a “taker”ー

Minase Ginji did not pray. Instead of praying, he chose to kill.

His research in graduate school was indeed epoch-making, as he was able to reconstruct the heart and the entire “circulatory system” as an artificial one.

He saved many people, was admired by many, and the world “recognized” him.

…That was supposed to happen.

His research was easily deprived of him. In the end, he was expelled from the university because “he” stole it from his “professor”. Abandoned by his parents, he found a silly thread when he was in dire need of food for tomorrow.

It was not nonsense.
But he had so much time to spare for nonsense that he was sick and tired of it.

Recently, Ming Ci discovered a mole growing on his collarbone.... more>>

Crimson, round, like a drop of blood splattered on the snow-white skin.

At first, he didn't pay much attention, just couldn't help but take an extra glance when looking in the mirror. But after a while, that red mole started to grow, like a puddle of blood flowing downward, spreading... almost occupying the entire chest.

Ming Ci felt he should get it checked out. On the night before going to the hospital, as he passed the mirror on his way, he subconsciously took a look.

Ming Ci walked up to the mirror, carefully observing his collarbone and chest, the skin was snow-white and clean. He breathed a sigh of relief, about to turn off the light, but caught sight of a blurry figure behind him.

Ming Ci “..."

It drew nearer slowly, its soft limbs elongating, like intertwining red ropes enclosing Ming Ci's body.

"You can't... abandon me... we... must be together forever."

The moist, warm breath wrapped around his trembling skin, murmuring softly.

Ah, why did I waste my life on this game? Why didn’t I actually quit when I kept saying I would, day after day, because the game was so frustrating? Is this my punishment for playing it?... more>>

Become the leader of a cult religion that has garnered a cult following!

I was a veteran player of [Conclude: Rise of the Othergod Apostle]. I quit because I was fed up with other players, but I still had lingering regrets for [Hapenesus] a God I couldn’t clear no matter what.

Then, an update notification for [Conclude] popped up. Hoping this might be my chance to finally clear [Hapenesus], I logged back in.

Hapenesus: My evangelist.

Hapenesus: You are the first of your kind.

SYSTEM: ‘Hapenesus’ grants you a hidden trait.

SYSTEM: Amazing achievement! You have charmed an ‘Othergod’ with just a conversation!

My excitement about possibly being the first to clear ‘Hapenesus’ was short-lived.

Mother Aelusia: My beloved child.

Mother Aelusia: No matter who you choose, I will find you.

Mother Aelusia: And I will be with you.

“No, what is this? Why is it suddenly turning into a horror story?”

SYSTEM: “Mother Aelusia’ is forcibly summoning you to the Dark Realm.

…And just like that, I found myself pulled into a game where I was supposed to be a leader of a cult religion. But surprisingly, the biggest problem wasn’t that I was going to become a cult leader.
