Follows the characters Sena Shougo and Sagara Rei’s story from Love Stage.

At the mouth of an alley, that blind fortuneteller said to me, “You are destined to have a rough road of love. Your entire life will be intertwined with a man, and it will be impossible for you to acquire a peaceful end.”
I shoved my leftover soda into his hands, dusted my ass, and left. “Hey, you haven’t paid!” The blind was still bellowing behind me at a distance. ... more>>

Are you kidding me? You didn't even work out whether I’m a man or a woman and you dare want money? I’m doing a good deed by not wrecking your stand.

I'm now sitting at the train station, disheveled and empty-handed, with my face swelled up like a pig’s. I recall the blind fortune teller’s words and regret that I had blown him off with my leftover soda at the time. I should have given him some money. Unfortunately, I've been a fool until today. My life has been intertwined with a man all along, however I have yet to realize that nothing good will come of it in the end... <<less

“I may kill you and take all the money you’ve to inherit for myself. Even so, are you alright with me?”... more>>

When we were done with the marriage, those words I nonchalantly tossed at her. For a moment, she made a face of surprise, before smiling as she assented.

“That’s fine. It’s only a matter if I can get you to fall before that, right?”

Her challenging words somehow made her out as a gallant warrior, making me open my eyes wide for a second. And within the day, I had inputted, ‘the probability I can kill my wife without being found out,’ into my glasses. After entering that simple question, the wearable terminal took in various affairs, computed to a precise value of them, and output a probability.

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?

Xu Qi was jealous of Liao Jinxue.... more>>

He knew that the pair of shoes on Liao Jinxue’s feet would require his salary of three months. Every diamond on the watch on his wrist was genuine, the elegant cypress fragrance on the body exudes the smell of gold, not the shabby appearance that was there ten years ago.

Xu Qi hated Liao Jinxue.

He saw Liao Jinxue put his arms around his wife’s waist, the woman who has always been reluctant to show a smiling face, looking shy, the ring-wearing left hand caressed and flirted with Liao Jinxue’s chest, and finally leaned on his shoulder meekly.

Thirty-year-old Xu Qi has ordinary looks, a meagre salary job, and a precarious marriage. However, he also blamed all the fault on the young man who seduced his wife – peeping, stalking and cursing Liao Jinxue to wake up, ugly and impotent.

But it backfired and God made a sarcastic joke on him.

After waking up with a hangover, there was a dazzling light, and there, beside him was a man with the fragrance of clear cypress wood. His handsome eyebrows and eyes coincide with every photo taken by him, like an absurd dream.

As he tried to flee hastily, Liao Jinxue pulled him back to his side, his lips were on the back of his neck, Xu Qi’s arms were tightly bound and his voice was cold, like unmelted snow.

“satisfied?”

He wished that Liao Jinxue would lose this beautiful face, his ability to seduce people, and his lavish spending. He wants Liao Jinxue to be an ugly and disgusting man, who can’t take anything away from him.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the gaming industry has seen an explosion in popularity. One of the most popular games ever released is Mystery Maker, a VR RPG where players can create baffling puzzles in a virtual space and challenge other players to solve them.... more>>

As a promotional stunt for the game's upcoming sequel, eight real life great detectives have been hand chosen by Kurata Chikage, executive director of MegalodonSoft, to challenge each other to a match in a demo of Mystery Maker 2. Among them are Kamo Touma, a magazine contributor well known for his investigative work overturning false convictions, and his wife's cousin Ryuuzen Yuki, a recently debuted mystery novelist.

However, on the day of the demo event, the detectives are all drugged. When they awaken, they find their smartwatches are locked to their wrists and they are shown videos of their families and loved ones being held hostage. They are contacted by a Gamemaster, who tells them that if they wish to save themselves and their families, they must play a death game called "Delicious Death for Detectives".

As scheduled, the eight of them will play Mystery Maker 2's demo, and the Detectives will challenge the mu*der puzzles created by the mu*derer. If the Detectives are not able to reveal the mu*derer and their tricks before the time limit, all players will be killed. However, if the mu*derer is exposed, both they and their hostages will be killed. And if a Detective makes an accusation but gets even the tiniest detail wrong, they will be mu*dered by the Gamemaster's secret accomplice, the Executioner.

Now the only way for the eight detectives to survive is to expose the mu*derer and Executioner lurking among them, even if they must risk their lives and those of their compatriots to do so.

Which is an especially big problem for Kamo, because he's the one who's been chosen as the mu*derer! <<less

The children were about to start looking, when they heard their professional teacher ask, “What about me?”

The class calmed down again.

Zhong Yi raised an eyebrow: “You send it, I’ll take a look.”

All eyes looked down, as he took his phone out and pressed the shutter and took a picture of the person on the podium.
