In an era where the coexistence of Awakened beings, and dungeons became commonplace, Lee Kyu-seong, a perennially low-tier Awakened, finds his life transformed by a... more>> second awakening and the unexpected appearance of a slime. <<less

Lee Su-hyeon is judged to be a Dual Awakened, even rarer than S-class Awakened, possessing both Esper and Guide abilities. However, due to his low rank, he's quickly overlooked by the public. Living quietly like a background extra, one day an unimaginable, dream-like opportunity comes his way. His guiding compatibility rate with Song Ji-hyeok, a newly recruited S-class Esper at the guild, turns out to be over 80 percent.... more>>

But life isn't so simple. Song Ji-hyeok openly ignores Su-hyeon due to his low rank...

"Let me say this again, I have absolutely no intention of pairing up with you. So stop wasting your energy like this."

His expression was emotionless and calm. If he had sneered or acted arrogant, it might have sparked some defiance, but his matter-of-fact delivery made the impact even greater.

After maintaining silence for a moment, Su-hyeon barely moved his lips.

"But you heard what Manager Park said. The higher the matching rate, the more efficient the guiding..."

"I said I don't want to."

The sharp interjection made Su-hyeon's mouth shut automatically. Song Ji-hyeok let out a sigh and stared directly into his eyes again.

"You look like you don't understand, so I'll be frank. To me, a guide partner's rank is far more important than matching rate. Honestly, how dare a C-rank try to match with an S-rank? Have some self-awareness."

"......"

"I'll fulfill the period the manager mentioned, but that's it. Persuasion won't work, so you should give up."

It was perfect defense. He had somewhat expected this, but if the rejection was truly because of rank, there was nothing he could do about it.

'...Nothing. There's nothing.'

But still! He couldn't just quietly let go of this opportunity that had come his way. Throwing away unnecessary discouragements, he looked at Song Ji-hyeok with eyes full of determination.

"Since I'm your junior by both experience and age, I'll speak casually. While I can't change my innate rank, I'll do my absolute best. I'll make sure you won't be satisfied with anyone's guiding but mine, so be prepared."

Despite the bold declaration of war, the guy wasn't intimidated. Instead, he just sneered as if Su-hyeon wasn't even worth dealing with. <<less

A dungeon has appeared on the earth. It's a dungeon, like what everyone knows, a template dungeon. Suddenly, monsters appear in the dungeons that appear in various places, using a power that humans had never seen, like casting magic. The Earth, which has come to coexist with such dungeons, has been filled with unknown lifeforms, unknown technology, and skills created by the mana pollution caused by the appearance of dungeons.... more>>

That's good. No, it's not good.

The profession of adventurer was born, and each company bought the materials of demons that can be obtained and the items that can be obtained from the treasure chest for a large amount of money, and the world became an era of adventurers... That’s the templates, right?

...Well, it didn't happen. The reality is harsh, more than you think. Think carefully. The companies will buy large quantities of monster materials? Sure. But if it's just a sample for research, 100 bodies are more than enough, right? Yeah, that’s right. They didn’t keep buying. Therefore, there was no basis for an adventurer to be born. Of course, that means, anyone dives into the dungeon for no reward. Even if they have the skills, are they willing to risk their life? Of course, no.

Then, what do you think will happen? Fortunately, the weapons of the earth worked on the monsters. So, people were able to defeat them with a gun or missile. It's that easy.

...But they appear every day. I'm sure it's because they don't dive into the dungeon and thin out monsters on a regular basis. Well, if only a few dungeons appeared in the world, it was still good. But dungeons were everywhere. From dungeons with only weak monsters to dungeons with strong monsters.

The army fought with them every day. Using ammunition like hot water and shooting missiles like fireworks. Do you know what the result will be? I’m sure you know. In a situation where the dungeon is not profitable at all, it becomes a disaster, resources will go low and taxes will go high… Eventually, people abandoned all but the important cities. That sound like a disastrous situation, right? Well, in such a world, lawless zones are everywhere. And even if you want to do some trading, it’s not easy.

In such a world decades after that incident, I am still alive. And for the time being, I plan to save the world with the skill I have trained for decades. Secretly.

It's easy to save the world. I just need to use my skill "Equivalent Exchange Store". You see, it's in the corner, something like a vending machine. Hear me, it seems that 10 F-rank monster cores can be exchanged for 1 low-rank potion. <<less

Tonight, once again, he yearned for her purification.... more>>

It had been an unhappy life.

Despite possessing the power of purification, Irene was deemed the lowest rank, never having received anyone’s love or acceptance in her short life. Even in her final moments, she died alone and lonely, yet strangely, she found herself back in the past.

And not just any past but right before meeting her husband, Michael, the man she had ruined.

‘This is the first mistake I must correct in this life. That is…not getting involved with Michael.’

However, Michael seems peculiar.

"I... I need you. Please purify me."

He asked for purification first.
A paladin, this holy man, comes to me every night.

"Irene. My pair. My wife. Tonight, I want to be cleansed by you. Long and slow."

Well, I have the Minor Villain skill, so I will have to start by fixing my human relations first though.

Yu Zhi-wu returned to the past to prevent the end of the world.... more>>

He went to America to destroy the strongest and most dangerous calamity of the future while it was still dormant.

Trying to get rid of the pharaoh before his awakening, Zhi-wu became the object of pursuit by mysterious malefactors, as a result of which he accidentally awakened the catastrophe itself…

“You… what have you done to me?”

At the moment when the pharaoh seemed about to kill him, Yu Zhi Wu’s relaxed and arrogant face changed, revealing obvious concern.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but keep being afraid until you die.”

Yu Zhi-wu no longer understood what was happening – he lost consciousness, and when he came to, before him stood a black-haired man who was trying to protect him, and the pharaoh.

“My lord awakened the sleeping me with blood and took possession of my soul. Moreover, I am not the only one whose soul is sealed on My lord.”

The man, who introduced himself as Martin, called Zhi-wu his lord and informed that he and the pharaoh were Zhi-wu’s subordinates.

“Subordinates?”

“Yes. Now You rule over us.”

Zhi-wu’s heart beat faster with excitement. Before him was definitely the pharaoh, that very bastard, and it was too dangerous to leave him alive even now, but… one couldn’t deny that he was also the strongest. Then..?

“If I can control him…”

If I can fully control him…

If he could control him perfectly. <<less

After experiencing the hidden world, returnee Lee Taeseong loses most of his memories and returns to the modern era.... more>>

To regain his memories, he joins “Tree,” a corporation closely connected to the bizarre.

“The contract period is two years. After that, it will be decided through mutual agreement.”

“And?”

“During that time, I expect Tree to fully support me in recovering my lost memories and finding my family.”

One day, he encounters a crystalline shard that appears to belong to the bizarre.

A shimmering crystal lodged in someone’s chest. Taeseong wasn’t sure why he could suddenly see such things, but one thing was certain—he had to remove it.

And then… he had to swallow it.

Taeseong pried the crystal from the boy’s chest and brought it to his own mouth.

Crunch. Crunch. Gulp.

As soon as he swallowed it, countless scenes flashed through his mind.

They were fragments of his lost memories. <<less

"Ren, are you interested in video streaming?"... more>>

Ren, who had no particular hobbies besides dungeon exploration, was suddenly approached with this question by one of his few friends, Yuya.

"Streaming? Do I look like someone who’d be interested in that?"

"No, not really."

"Then don’t waste your breath. Besides, I already turned down your offer to appear in your videos before."

Just as Ren enjoyed dungeon exploration, Yuya’s hobby was video streaming. He had asked Ren to appear in his videos several times, but Ren, having no interest, had refused every time. However, this time, things seemed different.

"That’s not what I mean. I’m suggesting you create your own channel and try streaming yourself."

"You really think someone who won’t even appear in your videos would bother with something that complicated? Or does this have something to do with you complaining about your channel not growing?"

"I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t related—but that’s not the only reason. This could benefit you too."

"Benefit me?"

"Yeah. Remember how you were complaining about the rise in explorers with bad manners recently?"

It was true—he had complained about that.

In the past, all items obtained through dungeon exploration had to be submitted to the government first. After evaluating whether personal ownership would be allowed, explorers were either permitted to keep their finds or compensated with money if the government decided to retain them. There were also many other regulations that put explorers at a disadvantage.

Frustrated by risking their lives for what felt like an unfair system, many Japanese explorers had started leaving the country for more explorer-friendly nations. Seeing the situation as a serious problem, the Japanese government made sweeping reforms last year, making it easier for explorers to earn a living.

But as a side effect, there had been an influx of beginners treating dungeon exploration like a casual part-time job—leading to a surge in bad behavior.

"Sure, most of those rule-breakers are probably students, but I think the biggest reason is that there just aren’t enough chances for people to learn proper etiquette—especially through platforms that young people actually use."

Yuya had a point.

Unlike those seeking to make a fortune, Ren became an explorer simply because he loved dungeons. He constantly studied on his own to improve. But for someone just looking to make easy money, knowing the basic rules was enough—there was little reason to dive deeper into learning proper manners.

"But even if I did a stream about dungeon etiquette, who would bother watching it? And making videos involves more than just shooting footage, right?"

"I’ll handle everything except the filming. What I need from you is to record inside the dungeon."

"Inside the dungeon?"

"Yeah. It’s easier to understand if you show the rules in action instead of just explaining them."

"I see…"

And so, with a little push from Yuya’s smooth-talking, Ren reluctantly agreed to start streaming. <<less
