A major ordeal has struck someone like me, a socially inept person who finds everything in life bothersome.... more>>

Thanks to my average looks, I had been coasting through life effortlessly, but suddenly, I found myself the center of unwanted attention. And, as expected, I’ve somehow become Baek Eun-Seong, an extra whose sole joy is tormenting the main characters before ultimately meeting their downfall.

Apparently, I’ve been kidnapped by the male protagonist, Cha Gil-Do…

“Can I take a nap now?”

“Are you out of your mind? Do you still not understand the situation?”

“…Yes.”

I might be slow to grasp things, but hey, what’s life, anyway? I’m just an extra, so I figure staying quiet will do the trick. I just want to be left alone to rest, but why are you keeping me locked up instead of dealing with the heroine? <<less

Yoo Raon, an ordinary art student and a Beta by nature, encounters a dangerous and menacing man one night while walking through a deserted alleyway.... more>>

“What should I do with someone so clueless, despite wanting to stay alive? Hmm?”

“It makes me want to save you, but also rip that mouth of yours right off.”

He had a beautiful face and a soft-spoken voice. Yet his strength, aimed at his prey, was unrelenting and merciless.

The man locked eyes with Raon but said nothing, leaving only a strange, beautiful smile as he disappeared. Relieved that she wasn’t harmed despite being a witness, her peace doesn’t last long.

“Hi. We meet again.”

“Oh, just wondering—you’re not going to pretend you don’t remember me, are you?”

The man begins appearing in Raon’s world, his gaze filled with amusement, as though he’d found a new toy to play with. Despite the unexpected entanglement, Raon doesn’t find it particularly difficult to deal with him.

“I thought this before, but your pheromones are pretty nice.”

However, when the man begins to show interest in Raon’s childhood friend—her first love and an Omega newly awakened—things take a very different turn. <<less

Before the long-awaited imperial banquet, Seria falls ill with a mysterious condition that causes her to lactate.... more>>

"How disgraceful. What have you been doing outside?"

To her shock, her parents, instead of summoning a physician, react with cold indifference. Abandoned, Seria is sent to the northern borderlands near the barbarian territories.

"I’ve heard the barbarians eat people..."

Terrified, Seria meets a man.

"What is a noble like you doing in a place like this, smelling of milk? Are you waiting for a man to r*pe you?"

He is a towering, muscular figure with bronze-toned skin, his body marked with scars. His tangled black hair contrasts sharply with his striking golden eyes.

The moment Seria meets his gaze, a chilling realization strikes her: the man before her is one of the barbarians she had only heard of in terrifying tales. <<less

--I Always Wanted This Man.... more>>

Yoo Hyun-jin, a promising young priest of the Je-yang Kingdom, has harbored a secret love for Hyun Tae-oh, the youngest son of the prestigious Hyun family, for many years. However, fully aware that his feelings could never come to fruition, he devoted himself to theology, keeping his heart in check and rapidly climbing the ranks toward his formal ordination as a priest.

One night, a banquet is held to welcome Governor Hyun Tae-oh back to the capital after seven years in the conflict-ridden borderlands. Hyun-jin, arriving to retrieve his drunken younger brother, finds himself entangled in an unexpected mishap that leaves his clothes ruined. Stripped bare, he is forced to wait in a backroom of the restaurant while his garments are being washed. Beside him lies an unconscious, equally unclothed Hyun Tae-oh.

At dawn, Hyun Tae-oh wakes up, sees their compromising state, and immediately jumps to the wrong conclusion. Overwhelmed by the situation and his long-hidden affections, Hyun-jin impulsively jokes that Hyun Tae-oh drunkenly had his way with him.

Before he can retract his words, Hyun Tae-oh, taking full responsibility for having supposedly defiled a priest, solemnly declares that he will atone for his actions. Things spiral out of control when the esteemed noble—who is also the betrothed of the Je-yang Kingdom’s princess—abruptly calls off his long-standing royal engagement, throwing the entire court into chaos.

How will the kingdom’s coldest and most calculating noble, Hyun Tae-oh, and its most naive and love-struck priest, Yoo Hyun-jin, navigate the aftermath of their so-called "pure" one-night encounter? <<less

Lowly shepherdess. Illegitimate daughter. Disgraceful duchess.... more>>

Although she had married her beloved Duke Izar, Freesia lived as though she was trapped at the bottom of a bleak, hapless abyss.

Her family took complete advantage of her, and the people of the duchy hated her for being a stain on the household’s honor.

And then there was her husband, Izar.

Even after she had suffered a miscarriage, he remained cold.

“To be born to parents like us—happiness would forever elude that child.”

At Freesia’s funeral, he had shed not a single tear.

But Freesia wished for one last thing.

Please, cry for me.

Shed even a single tear.

Dearly, I hope that your feelings might change.

Even if it means living for just one more year, that’s fine.

Once that time has passed, then.

Come and cry at my funeral.

*

For the first time, Freesia dared to glare at this man.

The dreadful document in her hand fell to the ground.

“How could you do something so cruel to me, to treat me worse than an animal!”

She was mistaken.

She thought, finally, this man held affection for her. That he trusted her.

That, perhaps… it could even be love.

But it was nothing like that. He deceived her.

“You ruined my life.”

There were only five months left before her demise. <<less

Suddenly pulled into a world filled with Specters, Fang Xiu woke up with a unique ability: Reset. Every time he died, time would rewind to the moment before he was killed.... more>>

In this strange and dangerous world, Fang Xiu could have chosen to hide. Instead he announced to the world, “Yes, I’m a prophet. I can see the future!” As his predictions kept coming true, his title of the Prophet spread around the world.

His words became the truth. They became the future.

“I have seen the future,” he announced, attracting people from all around the world.

His followers took it to the extreme, declaring, “Should the Prophet decree your demise one day, don’t waver, don’t question, just obey. For hesitance only leads to a far graver fate.”

During a B-level Specter event, known as [the Spawning]

A teammate warned, “The creature is hiding among these villagers. We need to be careful.”

Fang Xiu pointed to the last row and commanded, “The one in white. Yes, you. Come out!”

In an A-level Specter event, called [Lantern Heads]

One teammate warned, “This area is crawling with thousands of Lantern Heads. If they shine their light on you, your head will fall off. The scariest part is the Lantern Heads float unpredictably. It’s impossible for anyone to get across safely. Wait, where’s Fang Xiu?”

Another stuttered, “He, he…he’s on the other side!”

The first teammate exclaimed in disbelief, “What?! How did he get across?”

The other replied: “He…he just walked over.” <<less

A web novel writer transmigrated into the body of a soon-to-be-married, soon-to-be-mu*dered groom of a Murim Dating Sim.... more>>

To live, he must escape. <<less

Ling Xing opens his eyes to find himself transported to ancient times, becoming a "chong xi" bridegroom, married to a man on his deathbed. The wedding ceremony was conducted with his husband's younger brother standing in as a proxy. Three days after the wedding, his husband passes away, and Ling Xing is transformed from a bridegroom into a widower.... more>>

The original Ling Xing had fled famine and hardship, leaving him with no place to call home. Fortunately, the Shen family takes him in and allows him to live with them. The Shen family is poor, struggling to make ends meet, often going hungry and lacking adequate clothing. They subsist on a meager diet of porridge mixed with wheat bran, barely enough to fill their stomachs.

Ling Xing, in his past life, was a food vlogger, skilled in recreating various cuisines and an excellent cook. To earn a living, he starts selling steamed buns, rice noodle rolls, and grilled skewers. His small food stall gradually grows into a two-story restaurant, becoming quite prosperous.

As Ling Xing's business thrives and his life improves, more and more people come forward to propose marriage. The matchmakers chatter incessantly, saying, "The Shen family, you shouldn't stop Xing Ge'er from remarrying." "In our Yu dynasty, there's no rule that a married woman or ge'er must remain a widow for life." "The one proposing marriage is a scholar!"

Ling Xing is constantly pestered by these matchmakers, feeling overwhelmed. Fortunately, his brother-in-law, who had given up his life as a hunter to pursue studies, returns after completing his imperial exams. Under his cold gaze, the matchmakers quickly disperse.

That night, Ling Xing is pinned down by a tall, shadowy figure.

"If you are willing to remarry, I want to marry you," the figure says.

Ling Xing is stunned, exclaiming in disbelief, "Shen Hui, are you crazy? I'm your brother-in-law!"

Shen Hui lowers his gaze and replies, "You were married to me, so what kind of brother-in-law are you?"

Note:

The title "chōng xǐ" refers to the traditional practice of marrying to ward off bad luck. <<less

Master of the grand Maxville Estate, an ancestral home with 800 years of history.

A man who had failed spectacularly in his first love.

“I am considering hosting a ball.”

Faced with the unavoidable duty of producing an heir, the Duke of Windburg decides to hold a ball to select a duchess.

He chooses Roselyn Eleanor Fairfield, the eldest daughter of a viscount.

“Expect nothing. That way, you won’t be disappointed.”

Thus begins a marriage bound by duty.

Tuesday nights become the designated time for their sole obligation: to produce an heir.

As the weeks pass, the Duke, who views it merely as a duty, and the Duchess, who dutifully plays her part, find their lives increasingly entwined with these Tuesday nights. <<less

In an era when Guide kidnapping is rampant and even considered normal due to the shortage of Guides.... more>>

Chae Do-min, an exceptionally talented S-class Guide, is suffering from overwork,

and was waiting for a cute Esper to kidnap him.

Suddenly, a strange sense of déjà vu.

Finally, Do-min’s intuition, honed from being kidnapped at least five times, was telling him:

This is surely the appearance of an Esper who will save me from Guiding hell.

…But the Esper who has confined me is strange.

The more submissive I act, the happier they become, rather than getting bored.

Is this… right? Is it? <<less

A moth to a flame. She is like a moth, and he is fire. She opened Pandora's box and released a demon.

In a time of chaos caused by monster invasions, Ha-gyeom, who has manifested as a guide, is kidnapped to one of the rebuilt cities, Zone 0. There, he loses his family and is on the brink of becoming a resource rather than a person. However, he is rescued by Baek Seung-woo, an Esper from the central center, gaining a new lease on life.... more>>

"My name is... Baek Seung-woo. I'm nineteen years old."

Thanks to Baek Seung-woo’s dedication and efforts over the years, Ha-gyeom transforms into a respectable trainee. Although he always thought of Baek Seung-woo as a close brother, ever since overhearing a conversation, he starts feeling feverish and his heart begins to race.

"Ha-gyeom is like my beginner's spirit. I must never lose him."

Nurturing these hidden feelings, Ha-gyeom falls into despair again when Baek Seung-woo goes missing during a secret mission.

Training and waiting for his return for five years, Ha-gyeom turns twenty and has been guiding for a year. However, without a highly compatible Esper at the center, he is unable to fully utilize his abilities.

Then, he finally gets the opportunity to participate in a mission in Zone 0 and hears unexpected news upon his return.

"Matching rate 99 percent!"

In a place where a matching rate below 50 percent is considered a curse, around 70 percent is average, and above 80 percent is seen as divine luck, a rate of 99 percent is unheard of!

To make matters worse, Ha-gyeom faces a situation where he must forcibly guide an out-of-control Esper in Zone 0. Confronted by a familiar silhouette in the darkness, Ha-gyeom is shocked beyond belief. <<less

After transmigrating, I found myself as Go Yeonwoo, a side villain who mu*dered the protagonist, Woo Jiyoo, only to be brutally killed by a group of S-Class Espers.... more>>

To make matters worse, the moment I transmigrated was right after killing Woo Jiyoo.

But unlike the original story, Go Yeonwoo awakens as an S-Class Guide.

The Espers, upon sensing Go Yeonwoo’s guiding energy, start acting differently from the original.

“This bastard, let’s take him and use him as our personal sl*t. Just killing him would be too easy a punishment.”

“We’ll make him regret killing Woo Jiyoo. I’ll have him begging for death by the end.”

The S-Class Espers fake Go Yeonwoo’s death and imprison him in a secret place, forcing him to guide them.

However, with his already twisted tastes, Go Yeonwoo finds the Espers’ obsessive behavior suffocatingly delightful.

He even pretends to resist, encouraging them to treat him even more recklessly.

But then…

“Hey, are you seriously stopping after eating just this much? Are you planning to starve yourself to death?”

“Get lost, Kang Taewon. Because of you, my sl*t can’t eat properly. I’ll feed him myself. Open wide, Yeonwoo.”

“Yeonwoo, is there something you want to say to me? You were jealous enough to kill Jiyoo over it, weren’t you? If you tell me now, I’ll listen. Go ahead.”

“You’re letting me hold you up? Does that mean you’re giving me permission now?” <<less

For that reason, Mirania the great witch was forced to die at the hands of the male lead named Grecan in countless lives.

I've had enough of this kind of life.

It's already my tenth life.

Mirania decided she would make a different choice this time.

She decided to assist Grecan, who would be the head of the wolves in the future. Starting by raising him from a young cub.

Mirania, who tried to tame Grecan perfectly by instilling herself into his memory as a benefactor.

“Grrr…”

“Now, be a good boy, okay?”

I smiled while looking at the cheeky wolf cub who's showing its teeth.

No matter how broken a story was, there's always an end to it.

By taming this wolf that couldn't distinguish between the front and back, this life, I'm determined to live in peace.

By the way…

Did I tame him too well?

"My beloved Mirania, please give birth to my child."

What appeared in front of Mirania, who opened her eyes, was Grecan, oozing a male scent on the subject of destroying her world. <<less

He Xulan is a heartthrob, adored by everyone. The new emperor likes him, the prime minister and generals in the court admire him, and the late emperor even had the Astronomical Bureau fabricate the absurd lie that marrying He Xulan would cure his illness, just to make him the lord empress.... more>>

The next day, Xueya sees the skirt shredded into strips...

From that day on, his skirts always end up shredded in He Xulan's palace, and he no longer needs to fake the marks on his body...

He Xulan is the top, a heteros*xual man in the face of men other than the shou; facing the shou, he automatically bends like mosquito coils.

The top only likes the bottom, with an exceptionally thick arrow, which is not evident in the early stage and has no intimate behavior with others.

The bottom is a pretty fool. <<less

“Please, just let me go home. I only need to stay until morning. Please…”

Xu Ji was informed that he was to be betrothed to someone—a person with fair, beautiful skin, as well as a lovely smile.... more>>

Xu Ji's parents were thrilled with his soon-to-be son-in-law, who they praised for his appearances, and his family-orientedness. Shyly bowing his head, Li Ting thanked them.

But Xu Ji hated good kids like him. His face devoid of all expression, he told him, “The relationship between us is nothing but a business marriage. You do your thing, and I’ll do mine.”

Li Ting’s tone of voice sank in that instant. “Okay.”

Despite that, there would be warm food and a made bed waiting for Xu Ji whenever he arrived home, together with a beautiful wife who would tenderly greet him saying, “You’re back.”

If it weren’t for the chance encounter at the party——

Li Ting, all decked out in a silverish grey suit, had a little beauty propped up on his leg. He was exhaling rings of smoke even more adeptly than he could.

Seeming dissatisfied, Li Ting clicked his tongue softly as he grabbed the little beauty’s hair and gave it a tug.

Xu Ji: “…”

He wasn’t in fact surprised to see him either. Instead, he lifted an eyebrow lackadaisically, saying to the people beside him, “Look, my hubby’s here.”

Eventually, things took an unexpected turn, and the two got into bed together. Xu Ji patted Li Ting’s face and said, “Be good. I won’t hurt you.”

Li Ting’s moist eyes squinted as he rubbed his own cheek against Xu Ji’s hand.

Xu Ji was so satisfied that he couldn’t even react in time when his wife suddenly flipped him over.

A curseword emerged from his lips. He then used all his strength in an effort to flip him back over——but he couldn’t lift him at all!

A beautiful smile emerged on Li Ting’s countenance as he pressed down on Xu Ji, saying, “You do your thing, and I’ll do you.”

When he next awoke, Xu Ji calmly expressed his wish for a divorce. The smile on Li Ting’s face froze in that instant. <<less

Under the command of Marquis Ingrid, Arthena entered into a political marriage with Carlos.

Despite falling in love with Grand Duke Carlos Ferdinand, the man once closest to the imperial throne, she bore the burden of an impossible mission.

“I can give you my body as much as you want. I’ve done so until now, haven’t I?”

“……”

“But don’t expect to have my heart.”

She became the object of her husband’s contempt.

A fabricated truth. Her father’s sinister schemes revealed at every turn.

“……I’m sorry.”

“You shouldn’t have done something you’d regret from the start.”

Everything tightened around Arthena like a noose, forcing her to make a choice.

「 A woman’s blood is worthless. 」

Would she fulfill her father’s command to bear a son or accept death?

“If you understand honor, you know what you must do.”

Or would she abandon her life, unwilling to endure the scorn and coldness of the man she loved?

Standing at the crossroads, Arthena finally resolved to leave.

“Whose child is that?”

“……It’s not yours.”

Her husband, who was once her entire world, reached out to her once again.

“I don’t care.”

Though my love has ended,

“Arthena, you are my wife.”

Why are you holding onto me now? <<less

A classmate made obscene photos of her.... more>>

“What do you need, student?”

The man she met for the first time at the police station opened with that question.

“I… don’t need money, sir.”

“Sir,” when Park Chigyeong repeated the word to himself, his expression subtly changed.

She caught the slight furrow of his brow.

“I heard that’s what people call prosecutors. Did it… offend you?”

Exhaling a puff of cigarette smoke, he smiled faintly.

Was that a smile of annoyance or amusement?

Taeri couldn’t help but wonder.

“But why have you been acting so bold since earlier?”

Park Chigyeong, who had been casually exchanging nods with the detectives passing by, took a step closer.

“Student. Do you find it ridiculous because I’m being polite? Do you think we’re friends just because I’m smiling at you?”

At a distance where he could have touched her with just an outstretched hand, he leaned forward. His lips brushed against her ear as he whispered, his tone sharp as if he was grinding his teeth.

“Stop trying to provoke me and just name your price, kid.”

As Taeri stood in the lukewarm temperature of March, neither cold nor warm, she felt her palms slowly begin to sweat. <<less

For some reason, though, this little guy was obsessed with his pheromones, whenever he held him into his arms, he inhaled them deeply like a mini storm vacuum.

Every day, he worked diligently to find this cub’s parents.

Until one day, he accidentally brought home his archenemy Gu Yan’s underwear.

The kid immediately latched onto it and shouted, "Papa~"

SS-Rank Esper Nakyoo Seong and His Guide’s Struggle in a World Without Guides... more>>

One day, SS-rank Esper Nakyoo Seong and his guide, Ji Seon Woo, are suddenly pulled into a mysterious portal, transporting them to an unfamiliar world. There, they are taken in by a man named Jayan, who pleads with them to save a future world devoid of guides.

Nakyoo Seong, focused solely on returning to his own time with his guide, refuses outright. However, Ji Seon Woo, in contrast, accepts the request to save the world.

"What makes you think we should stay here? We don’t even know what they’ll demand from us!

Wake up! We’ve been kidnapped—we’re the victims here!"

"I know that! But what if we leave without a plan? What then? What if it’s even more dangerous out there? What if we have nowhere to eat or sleep?"

Ultimately, unable to defy the bond with his marked guide, Nakyoo Seong begrudgingly stays in Seubel. However, trouble quickly follows—people around them won’t stop flirting with Ji Seon Woo, an unexpected fated partner appears, and to top it off, Song Yeo Hwan, who was delayed in his dimensional transfer, finally joins them. Now, Nakyoo Seong has a throbbing headache—and possibly an ulcer.

"Nakyoo Seong, just how long have you been here? And why am I only finding you now?"
