After a bizarre kidnapping incident, Chi Qing unexpectedly acquired a mind-reading ability. His personality began to stray further and further away from the norm as he consistently failed his personality tests with: You’ve been classified as someone with a highly dangerous personality.... more>>

——Until he met someone he couldn't read.

Only by that person’s side could he obtain a moment of peace.

Chi Qing had clearly been thinking nothing but "stay away from me," yet what came out instead was: "...give me your hand. There are lots of cars on the road, I’m scared you might get run over."

Xie Lin: "...?” <<less

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...

[Worldgate Online] the worlds first full-scale VRMMORPG.... more>>

After maxing out the notoriously bad healer class and completing an ascension event, I got transported into a world that closely resembled the game, but in which most of the game’s systems had disappeared, even though my appearance and skills remained the same.

Even though I am a boy, the pretty girl I was playing as became my real body, with shining wings on my back. A race that can “heal” the wounds of the world, which should have been extinct long ago.

But isn’t that a bit too harsh of a start for a level 1 healer?

It was by pure chance that Wen Yifan became housemates with Sang Yan, whom she had rejected during high school.... more>>

Normally, they lived their lives separately, as if they were two strangers living under the same roof.

But the peace was disrupted one morning.

The night before, Wen Yifan was still sleeping in her room, but she found herself waking in Sang Yan’s bed the next day.

Aware that she sleepwalked from time to time, Wen Yifan could only apologize and put it away as her fault. However, when the situation repeated again and again, she tried to suggest locking his door before he heads to sleep...

Sang Yan dismissed the idea, saying, “You’d just pick the lock.”

Wen Yifan tried her best to keep her composure. “Why in the world would I be able to do that?”

“Well…” Sang Yan lifted his eyes and drawled, “is there anything you wouldn’t do to climb onto my bed?”

After an awkward pause, Wen Yifan smiled. “OK, then go ahead and try.”

Now that caught Sang Yan by surprise. <<less

As the dean of the National Institute of Genetics, Ji Shiqing has taken over the institute since he was 25 years old. He held absolute power, excluding his colleagues and taking credit for the research results of other researchers, which eventually led to a rebellious and despised situation.... more>>

He died in the winter of the Empire’s year 1202 at the age of 31. It was only after his death that people came to know about the various illnesses and suffering he endured throughout those years. He single-handedly withstood the pressure and defamation from the Senate and developed the S305 drug, capable of curing genetic diseases.

On the day of his burial, ten thousand people came to pay their respects, but he will never return.

The anti-fans who had criticized Ji Shiqing went back in time to 1201, just after Ji Shiqing had celebrated his 30th birthday. He had nothing left, but still faced the three-way pressure from the Senate, political enemies, and the public, and was determined to complete…

At the age of eighteen, Shen Rou was sent to the flourishing Emperor Star from the Colossal Star by his family. ... more>>

When he looked up and saw the young man who had been engaged to him since he was a child, he was stunned for a moment.

When Shen Ruo plucked up the courage to confess to Chu Xiao, he accidentally fell and knocked his head on the stairs.

Shen Ruo, who was s*upid in the eyes of others, was extremely sad because it turned out that he was just a character in a book.

The old Duke of Chu’s verbal marriage contract was nothing important in the eyes of the Chu family. It was written in the book that he was finally broken off from the engagement, but he was not reconciled to return to the impoverished Colossal Star. After racking his brains hard, he fooled around with other aristocrats and was finally kept by them to remain on the Emperor Star.

In the end, because of offending Chu Xiao’s nephew, the protagonist in that book, he was sent to a more remote galaxy by Chu Xiao. In the end, there was no news of him, and there was a high probability that he was dead.

Shen Ruo didn’t dare to have any other thoughts. He wanted to go back home. Colossal Star was a little poorer, but as long as he worked hard, he would at least not go hungry.

But Shen Ruo, who had packed up his luggage, was taken back by that violent man.

After that, Chu Xiao stopped pretending in front of Shen Ruo. <<less

My name is Sota Kazama. I'm an ordinary second-year high school student.
But I got into an accident. Believe it or not, there are mysterious phenomena.

He wanted to die for switching bodies with me and became shut-in at home. I wanted to stay at home too, but I had no choice but to do my best due to my surrounding.

I thought about what would happen when I could return to my normal life, and I tried my best to maintain the status quo and not be found out.

The most difficult thing was to keep the relationship with his girlfriend, Otsuka Karen, as it was.
Ultimately, we managed to get back to each other's bodies without anyone finding out that we had been switched.
