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?

Forced to become a dalao (big shot)・I’m actually normal・Why do you all think I’m a dalao

Jiang Yiyi realises he has transmigrated into a survival video game named ‘Annals of Stargaol,’ also known as ‘The 108 Fancy Ways for Players Killing Themselves.’ It’s known for its high difficulty, lethality and overpowered NPCs.

If the game turns real, perhaps even surviving half an hour would be too much to ask?

Jiang Yiyi shudders. Between the player character and a random background character, he chooses the latter, only to find himself forced into a dalao role on a daily basis.

Tips for reading:

Absolute golden fingers (read: cheat abilities) everywhere. The protagonist is the most amazing from the beginning to the end.

Logic is maintained throughout as much as possible.

Plot-heavy. The romance is depicted late. Really late.

Bai Qiuye has been trapped for thirteen years.... more>>

Thirteen years ago, she was caught up in the Infinite Game along with the others.

There was a bug in the system that prevented her from upgrading, and she was constantly cycling through newbie missions.

After thirteen years of horrific missions, Bai Qiuye finally escaped her copy.

She found out that time flowed differently between the copy and reality, and only half a year had passed outside.

The system told her that the lowest levelled people were already level 20.

She, on the other hand, had being doing tasks day and night for thirteen years longer than the others was still a level 1 rookie.

The ghosts of the duplicates would not come down to reality, with the exception of one duplicate - the code name "Purgatory".

The code name "Purgatory".

Prying, approaching, and entering are forbidden.

Just next to the entrance, countless strange things have gathered, turning it into a dead city.

Even the strongest of men can never enter or leave alive.

There were rumours that it would be everyone's nightmare, and possibly everyone's hope.

Until one day, a loud noise pierced the sky and the entire city began to tremble.

The darkness that poured from it raged fast.

Countless ghosts and monsters wailed and crept and fled.

People in the distance were bewildered and terrified.

No one knew that a person had come out of the "Purgatory".

Bai Qiuye looked at the empty city with a level 1 icon, as cautious as a small animal.

"Where is everyone? Is there any big brother can take me ah!"

*

Later, Bai Qiuye returned to her hometown.

It was only then that she realised that back then, in her rookie copy, Every NPC she encountered was a full level boss.

Every piece of junk she picked up was a full-level prop.

And she, long ago, was already a full-level boss. <<less

Teammates received lunch boxes one after another. Tang Ning fell into a pool of blood and fell into a dream of death. A handsome man gracefully appeared from the darkness, picked up his sleeping lover, and opened the dungeon for him——

There is a prince who always exists in the copy and is the only life-saving driftwood Tang Ning can hold on to.

In his dream, he was just an ordinary person, his companions didn’t die, they didn’t turn into terrible monsters.

Helios didn’t have a positioning error, it never lost its coordinates in vast space, nor did it have to make a crash landing on that mysterious planet.

However, when he opened his eyes and faced the creatures surrounding him —

— Those compound crimson eyes, that horrifying elytra and that armour… and the thick pheromones lingering in the air —

Lin Xi would wake up once again.

His dreams will always be just dreams.

And his reality is still as cruel as ever.

He is no longer human. He is their Gyne, the Queen of Worms, and the Mother of Insects.

Book 1... more>>

On the day he received the Easter Egg, Lin Jue’s entire life changed. That nightmarish night, everyone in the school became zombies apart from the thirteen who had received an easter egg. It wasn’t because of a deadly virus, but rather a cruel game. Unable to leave the school, they were able to find a bargaining chip for life in the plaza. The prowling hunters in the dark were not the most fearsome opponents, the hidden Judas in the survivors was the most deadly. As everyone died one by one, the survivors struggled, waiting for dawn.

Book 2

It was a nightmare- in a sealed off university campus, the thirteen who received easter eggs were trapped and forced to fight for the sake of seeing the next sunrise. The Judas hidden among the players, the enemies that surrounded them on all fronts, the companions that were ready to turn against each other…

When Lin Jue woke up on his dormitory bed, there were no wounds on his body; everything from the previous night had just seemed like a dream. But Lilith was still giving out her easter eggs, and Song Hanzhang and Lu Ren were already there. The second round was just about to start. It turned out that all of it, all of it was real.

Book 3

“It means that the world we are in now is fake.” That one sentence from Song Hanzhang woke Lin Jue up from the joy he felt from surviving the second round.

From the moment they received the easter eggs, they had stopped existing in the world of men, and been made to struggle to survive in an endless game. The zombies of the first round, the insects of the second round; every round resulted in piles of casualties in this dangerous world. And in the third round… they were faced with an unprecedented, terrifying crisis.

A team from 2002 and a team from 2022 began a battle of life and death with Lin Jue and the others from the 2012 team. Only one could survive, so who would be the real winner? <<less
