Crazy paranoid game NPC Gong X s*upid cute little beauty Shou... more>>

Because he mistook NPCs as teammates, it caused the game worlds to collapse, Chu Chen’an was forcibly resurrected by the horror game system. And his cannon fodder task had changed from carrying the damage for the main character to completing all the tasks for the main character!

Chu Chen’an:… Second death experience card Σ (O_O;)

– Chu Chen’an and his “teammate” met again. At this time, NPC Qin Jue was sitting leisurely, holding in his arms… Chu Chen’an’s original body that already cold. Qin Jue patted his cold back with his pale finger bones, “Okay, I’m here, baby, don’t afraid…”

That scene, was strange but with a touch of warmth …… It was weird as hell!

Between ghosts and gods, Chu Chen’an and Qin Jue were facing each other. Qin Jue’s eyes were light, and he suddenly pinched his neck. Chu Chen’an’s eyes trembled, and the corners of his eyes turned red. He was finished. Qin Jue approached, and gradually… blo-odthirstily, he smiled. “I found you, little liar.” <<less

Ranen, in a twist of fate, found himself transported into the body of a hapless soul who had just escaped from a fire, inheriting a second life and an inhuman beauty.... more>>

Sounds like a jackpot start, just short of reaching the pinnacle of life, right?

Indeed, Ranen thought so too, if it weren't for the existence of 'K-series' dark gods in this world.

#Monsters seem to really like him#

#Question: In such a world, being a heartthrob, do I still have hope?#

Ranen had given up, quietly awaiting death in a nightmarish hospital, when someone stumbled into his world, willing to pay with their life just to see him survive.

Ranen was deeply moved, until he came across a gaming forum.

#Just died, sharing my new wife with everyone. I've become the moonlight in my wife's eyes!#

#...Something's not right, run! Your wife is clearly a dark god!#

Ranen: ? <<less

Ji Xiao Zhenren wielded his divine power, splitting mountains and parting seas, penetrating the heavens and the earth, known as the 'First Sword of Han Shan'.... more>>

Fellow cultivators respected him, disciples admired him, and demon cultivators feared him. If it weren't for his ignorant, incompetent, and inconsiderate Dao companion, he would have been almost perfect.

Meng Xueli's talent in cultivation was mediocre; he lacked a refined and ethereal demeanor and had never cultivated seductive skills. He was merely an ordinary beauty. The cultivation world was not short of beauty; being ordinary was almost synonymous with being tacky.

Ji Xiao unexpectedly took a liking to such a tacky Meng Xueli, revealing that cultivation does not necessarily elevate one from having bad tastes. His aesthetic judgment was indeed questionable.

It wasn't until the untimely demise of Ji Xiao Zhenren that Meng Xueli, at a young age, found himself widowed.

With the upheaval in the sect and enemies knocking at the door, chaos ensued. Eventually, with the collapse of the tree, the monkeys scattered, and the collapse of the wall, everyone pushed... pushed, but they couldn't move?! <<less

With parents who are experts in their fields and five older siblings, Liliane Aggett received the highest standard of education from her family from an early age, and at the age of 15 she's now considered a prodigy in all fields.... more>>

Liliane has lied about her identity and changed her name in her new home, but she has incredibly low self-esteem because she grew up taking her family's words,「It's natural to be able to do this,」to heart.「I learned that this is the lowest level you should be able to do...,」she says, unknowingly breaking the hearts of those around her to bits.

The remaining family members finally realize that「the whole family, including themselves, had never once praised Liliane」... <<less

Li Xiangfu returned after traveling through the Nuzun Kingdom!
Life's pressures molded him into a polymath, excelling in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting during his years of adventure. His embroidery and culinary skills surpassed all, and he assumed the role of the household manager.... more>>

The ambitious young master of the Li family, fixated on seizing the family fortune, faced exile abroad. Upon his return several years later, everyone anticipated his mischief. However, instead of chaos, they witnessed him playing the guqin in the morning, engaging in double-sided embroidery at noon, and preparing soup after washing his hands in the evening.

Li Xiangfu mused, "People resemble pale chrysanthemums, tranquil and content, devoid of desires. Let's not disrupt this tranquility."

In subsequent events:
The traditional and stern eldest young master of the Li family: "...Little brother, go and have fun in a club."
The composed and reserved second young master of the Li family: "...Little brother, go fall in love."
Mr. Li, wishing for greater resilience: "...Son, just be wild."

One day, the head of the Qin family proposed a marital alliance.
Mr. Li responded, "I have one daughter and must consult her wishes first."
Qin Jin interjected, "No, I am interested in your younger son."
Mr. Li contemplated, "...Then we must prioritize those seeking a blind date with him this year. You're the twenty-ninth."

Liang Muqiu seriously doubted if he had read the astrology forecast when he went out today.... more>>

He borrowed a fire in the bar, but borrowed it from his ex-boyfriend.

It is said that old partners would never contact each other. However, they hadn’t seen each other for seven years, yet this bastard was not only not old, but also more handsome than before.

Especially when Cen Nan lit a cigarette for him in the dim light, his eyelashes drooped slightly, like when he kissed him under the blossoming tree seven years ago.

Liang Muqiu: Damn it, why was he still a little excited?

It took a long time for Liang Muqiu to wake up.

From the moment he saw Cen Nan, what he wanted to borrow was not fire, but a kiss of reunion after a long separation.

After seven years of separation, he still loved the same person.

Coincidentally, so did Cen Nan. <<less

The Princess as beautiful as a fairy, Amber.... more>>

Her husband, who lived as a mercenary, was essentially different from her in every way.

Due to a forced marriage, Amber fell into despair. Throughout the years of their marriage, she vehemently resented everything about her husband.

However, when he met his end trying to protect her and their unborn child, Amber was overwhelmed with regret and wished to turn back time…

The starting point of her regression happened to be the very first night of their wedding?

“You never once glanced at me throughout the wedding, I thought you were upset for becoming the wife of a lowlife.”

She was already like burnt ashes, yet he seemed like a fire spirit dancing above the ruins.

His embrace felt too scorching to bear, so Amber eventually averted her eyes.

It was only after meeting you that I realized I had a hole inside me. And I soon became delighted, knowing that you could fill that part of me.

“…… Please allow me to receive the delegation alongside you, Your Majesty.”... more>>

“No. There isn’t anyone that doesn’t know that I don’t have a shred of feelings for you anyways, so is there a need to put on an act?”

The nobles covered their mouths with fans at the sight of the Empress being openly embarrassed by the Emperor but didn’t retract their gazes.

Along with the fed-up Edmund’s unkind treatment, the courage that was squeezed out disappeared instantly, and Sotis bowed her head without saying anything.

Sotis loved Edmund.

But Edmund hated Sotis.

“I have no intention of letting you go today.”

“I’ve never asked you to let go of me. It’s alright if you make a mess, so hurry…”

The Emperor, who’d made the Empress become an object of gossip for the nobles, sought his mistress’ embrace. Sotis felt miserable whenever she saw Edmund whispering affectionately to another woman.

‘Will everyone be happy if I disappear? Would it be alright if I disappeared? It’s just, if only I could disappear.’

***

Within the bedroom where the Empress slept quietly without waking, only a mage saw her wounded soul.

As Sotis sat by the window, she seemed shy and embarrassed, while combing her long hair with a faint smile.

“Even if you don’t lift a finger, there will definitely be someone that likes Your Majesty just the way you are.”

Although it was her first meeting that mage, the mage responded to her innermost thoughts as though he knew about everything.

“I’ll find a way. Just like how you saved me, I will also ensure that both of your feet will touch the ground once again.”

[……If you say that, it sounds as though such a day would definitely arrive.]

The mage turned his back on the Empress, who was lying on the bed beautifully and whispered to the soul by the window every day, eventually managing to awaken Sotis’ physical body…

“Tomorrow morning, we will declare our divorce. The reason for the divorce is your body’s poor condition, your soul’s instability, and your inability to carry on the family line.”

Through a single mage's utmost dedication, Empress Sotis was able to regain her body, but what she was faced with was the Emperor’s notice of divorce. <<less

Wang Dian passed through. He wore a suit and held a bottle of red wine in his hand. On the left was a group of ferocious generals with swords in their hands, and on the right were civil servants with long robes and wide sleeves.... more>>

They all knelt down and called him “Your Majesty”.

Wang Dian clenched the wine bottle in his hand and shouted at them to rise on their feet.

At the start, it was still okay to be called the emperor. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the bedchamber, he saw a man who looked exactly like himself.

"I didn't know there was such a strange thing in this world." The man raised his eyebrows and smiled.

I originally wanted to go up to the Ninth Heaven to embrace the bright moon, but I didn't expect you to lie drunk on top of the clouds.

He realizes that his adoptive parents lied to Kwak Tae-beom about him being an extremely dominant Omega.

The misunderstanding between the two grows deeper and deeper, and Hee-shin, who was already fragile, eventually closes his eyes in a cold hospital room.

Collection of short to medium stories.

In the winter of three years ago, the first locked room mu*der in Japanese history was committed.... more>>

All of the evidence pointed to the defendant. It was certain they were guilty. And yet, they were found innocent and released. Why? Because the crime scene was a perfect locked room no one from the police or the prosecutor's office could solve.

"Since the room was locked, it was impossible for the defendant to have committed the mu*der. It's no different than if they had a perfect alibi." That was the argument of the defense, and that was the argument the judge sided with.

The ruling sent a ripple throughout Japanese society. No matter how suspicious you were or how much evidence you left behind, as long as you managed to create a locked room that no one could solve, you were immune from prosecution. With the common anti-mystery fiction talking point "there's no reason anyone would ever actually commit a locked room mu*der" completely overturned, the rate of locked room mu*ders in Japan skyrocketed.

When the police proved unable to deal with the surge of locked room crime, the Ministry of Justice published an official categorization of all known locked room tricks as an investigative aid. When that proved insufficient, Division Zero of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, a police division dedicated solely to solving locked rooms, was created. When that still proved insufficient, locked room detectives, private investigators specializing in locked rooms, were officially licensed by the state and authorized to participate in police investigations. Calling a locked room appraiser, someone specializing in searching buildings for secret passages, is now a common first step in criminal investigations.

On the other side of the spectrum, locked room agents, assassins and crime planners specializing in locked room mu*ders, have become some of the most notorious criminals in Japanese history, and even a cult worshiping the scenes of locked rooms as a way to purify the souls of the deceased has made rapid inroads into Japan.

The protagonist, Kasumi Kuzushiro, is an introverted, somewhat cynical high school student who loves mysteries. Kasumi often finds himself dragged along on bizarre journeys by his flighty childhood friend, Yozuki Asahina. Due to their staggeringly bad luck, these trips often leave them in the wrong place at the wrong time to be caught up in locked room mysteries. Fortunately, another of Kasumi's childhood friends, Shitsuri Mitsumura, is the greatest locked room expert in the world, and can always discover the truth.

Hm? How did a high school girl become the greatest locked room expert in the world?

It's simple.

She's...

Xue Huai sold his life to Yun Cuo.... more>>

He ran away from home for him, wield a knife for him, and died in battle for him, just to end up earning the title of “incompetent protector.”

After his death, his ashes were placed on the head of the bed by Yun Cuo, and even the soil was loosening well.

After hearing about this, Xue Huai was so angry that he became a haunted ghost and prepared to go to Yun Cuo’s bed to scare people.

But only to see the cold and arrogant Emperor facing his ashes, crying and trembling.

Before he could fully understand the situation, he was reborn.

He thought to himself: It seems a bit pitiful, but let’s avoid the boss in this lifetime.

The clever young master of the Xue family, who had been spoiled growing up, changed his attitude, listened to his family, and went to a place 108,000 miles away to cultivate.

That early spring, when he was cultivating, the person he had been avoiding suddenly appeared and blocked him under the pear tree, saying “I heard that you are good at doing homework. Help me with my teacher’s homework, can you?”

The young man was as sharp as a knife. He tried hard and gave him a somewhat awkward smile.
