A dungeon has appeared on the earth. It's a dungeon, like what everyone knows, a template dungeon. Suddenly, monsters appear in the dungeons that appear in various places, using a power that humans had never seen, like casting magic. The Earth, which has come to coexist with such dungeons, has been filled with unknown lifeforms, unknown technology, and skills created by the mana pollution caused by the appearance of dungeons.... more>>

That's good. No, it's not good.

The profession of adventurer was born, and each company bought the materials of demons that can be obtained and the items that can be obtained from the treasure chest for a large amount of money, and the world became an era of adventurers... That’s the templates, right?

...Well, it didn't happen. The reality is harsh, more than you think. Think carefully. The companies will buy large quantities of monster materials? Sure. But if it's just a sample for research, 100 bodies are more than enough, right? Yeah, that’s right. They didn’t keep buying. Therefore, there was no basis for an adventurer to be born. Of course, that means, anyone dives into the dungeon for no reward. Even if they have the skills, are they willing to risk their life? Of course, no.

Then, what do you think will happen? Fortunately, the weapons of the earth worked on the monsters. So, people were able to defeat them with a gun or missile. It's that easy.

...But they appear every day. I'm sure it's because they don't dive into the dungeon and thin out monsters on a regular basis. Well, if only a few dungeons appeared in the world, it was still good. But dungeons were everywhere. From dungeons with only weak monsters to dungeons with strong monsters.

The army fought with them every day. Using ammunition like hot water and shooting missiles like fireworks. Do you know what the result will be? I’m sure you know. In a situation where the dungeon is not profitable at all, it becomes a disaster, resources will go low and taxes will go high… Eventually, people abandoned all but the important cities. That sound like a disastrous situation, right? Well, in such a world, lawless zones are everywhere. And even if you want to do some trading, it’s not easy.

In such a world decades after that incident, I am still alive. And for the time being, I plan to save the world with the skill I have trained for decades. Secretly.

It's easy to save the world. I just need to use my skill "Equivalent Exchange Store". You see, it's in the corner, something like a vending machine. Hear me, it seems that 10 F-rank monster cores can be exchanged for 1 low-rank potion. <<less

Thus, whenever his skin hunger happens to break out, he can only resort to sleep to numb himself. Fortunately, the symptoms are relatively mild to be considered painful.

However, all of this was mercilessly disrupted after Liang Sunian moved into the dormitory.

To his surprise, he actually showed no resistance to this person’s closeness. Even as Liang Sunian stood off the court, lifting the hem of his shirt to drink water after playing basketball, an irresistible urge to be tightly held in his arms surged within him.

As the sleep therapy failed, his skin hunger syndrome worsened.

…….

One late night, Liang Sunian, who was suffering from insomnia due to the heat, got up shirtless and went to cool off on the balcony. He appeared bewildered as he stared at Xie Jiaran.

“What?” Liang Sunian felt he was hallucinating due to the heat getting to his head.

How could his typically aloof roommate, even while casting such a glance that seemed like granting a favor, say such words to him?

Xie Jiaran fell silent for a moment. He repeated the previous words in his usual cold tone, trying to stay composed yet inevitably conveying a hint of resignation:

“Liang Sunian, could you please hug me for a while?” <<less

“You always want me.”

Ervandas raised his hand and trailed his fingers down the curve of Lulu’s lower back.

“Ah!”

Lulu’s body twitched at the indescribable tickling sensation.

“Just a moment ago, you were about to swallow this whole.”

The ‘this’ Ervandas referred to brushed against her underneath. The blunt, still-damp tip glided over the gap in the thin fabric. The moment she felt the sogginess, Lulu tried to wriggle out of his embrace. But as if anticipating that, Ervandas exerted more strength in the arms that held Lulu.

“But why are you retreating when I said I would give it to you?” <<less

The Tang family had two daughters.... more>>

Outsiders have only heard that the eldest daughter, Tang Luoqian, was beautiful and would be engaged to Luo Zhan, the young master of the Luo family, in the future and everyone envied her.

Few people knew that the Tang family has a youngest daughter who was blind, named Tang Ran.

Tang Ran’s sixteenth birthday present was a robot.

On the day the robot arrived, the whole family was in the front hall with her sister Tang Luoqian, preparing to welcome Luo Zhan, who was visiting for the first time. Tang Ran was alone in the side house, fumbling to see her robot.

Standing in the chaotic darkness, Luo Zhan spoke after a long time.

“Good evening, Master.”

With a good family background, a calamity-bringing face, and a top mind, Luo Zhan was the dream lover of countless girls in the AI field, but no one could stand next to him.

There was only one reason: Luo Zhan liked beautiful eyes.

Later on, Luo Zhan made a bet with his older brother to imitate a robot for the little blind girl from the Tang family.

—He never thought that he would fall for the little blind girl.

And then it spread that Luo Zhan had been beaten with the family rod by the old man of the Luo family in order to reject his engagement to Tang Luoqian, without uttering a single word.

Everyone was guessing who it was for.

A week later, for the first time, the Tang family threw a birthday banquet for Tang Ran, whose eyes had recovered. After the banquet, the little girl drank too much and hugged the stone pillar in the banquet hall, whispering that she wanted to see Luo Zhan.

The bystanders mocked when they heard, “The young master of the Luo family doesn’t even consider Tang Luoqian. She’s just a half-blind girl who thinks she can see him just because she wants to?”

Before finishing his sentence, Luo Zhan ran in from outside in a wretched state.

The young master of the Luo family, who was usually in high spirits, panicked and fell to his knees, at a loss to kiss the girl’s trembling eyes…

“Don’t cry.”

“Will you marry me, Ranran?” <<less
