During one of his archaeological internships, Lin Yan, unfortunately, digs out a ghost and was being followed by it…... more>>

Since then strange things happened one after another in his life…

In order to return his life to normal, Lin Yan led his childhood friend and a Daoist priest on the road to help the ghost accomplish his wish.

However, the closer Lin Yan got to the end, the more he realized that things were not simple as he thought.

And his relationship with the ghost also started to change. <<less

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

Ichinose Kyosuke is in his second year of high school. He is taciturn and proficient in both literary and military arts. Although he may seem to be a perfect person at first glance, he is dealing with a circumstance that nobody else can grasp. That is a matter that he doesn’t want anyone to interfere with. Therefore, he is averse to forming deep bonds with others.... more>>

With the exception of his childhood friend, Yuu​───

On that day, there were dark clouds hanging in the sky. The sky was gray and it seemed as if it would be raining. Kyosuke hastily made his way home.

At night, he received a call from a friend.

“Ichinose! Sonohara is…!”

The call was promptly disconnected, possibly due to radio interference.

──What exactly has happened to Yuu?

Feeling a vague sense of uneasiness, Kyosuke stormed out of the house ────

Within the world, there exist various kinds of people, who have accumulated a wide range of experiences and are advancing towards their future, each choosing their own path.

One’s future is a relic of the past that one has amassed. The present is also shifting into the past, and the past is a relic of the present, which is the future. We, humans, live in the present, choosing our choices.

However, even though we seem to have the freedom to choose, there are times when we are compelled to make choices in the present. Even if one is heading for a bright future, the eventual outcome is never assured. Sometimes the future, which was previously bright, is abruptly struck by darkness.

Nevertheless, we are neither living in the past nor the future, but in the undisputed “present”. Whether one halts or looks back, one must eventually face forward and move on.

This is the story of Kyosuke, the protagonist, and other high school students who live in the invisible time known as the present. <<less

One day, for some reason, a beautiful girl named Sayo Misumi, whose parents live in a shrine in the countryside, moves next door to the apartment where I, Souta Tsushiro, lives.... more>>

Misumi has been suffering from "psychogenic visual impairment" for the past year due to the stress she is experiencing, and she has almost no eyesight.

She could barely see and could only see 10 centimeters in front of her.

"As neighbors, if someone is in trouble, we must help each other."

I couldn't leave Misumi alone, so I started helping her in any way I could, and she started cooking for me in return.

Fellow people living alone, we help each other in daily life, and Misumi's ordinary words and actions make my heart flutter and I feel embarrassed…

But, I've decided not to believe in love.

I will never fall in love with Misumi…!!

The cause of Misumi's stress had been revealed.

And if it could be cured, Misumi's vision could return again.

Therefore, I must help her sincerely without having any ulterior motives.

"For some reason, I can calm down when I'm with Tsushiro-kun..."

As I spent time with Misumi, my distrust of love slowly started to fade— <<less

God is creating a legend!!!! We need a little faith to give people a backbone, and then add some man-eating demons to get everyone excited! Add some love... and a dash of hatred... rebellion and impulsiveness. Finally, throw in a familiar protagonist with a slightly dark personality, otherwise, it won't be interesting. Oops... went a bit overboard!... more>>

“The companion of His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince is the precious daughter of Marquis Lurhtella.”

How could the oracle be mistaken?

As soon as I was born, I was chosen to be the Crown Princess and have lived there, but everything changed overnight.

Power, status, and the perspective of people.

I thought only his love wouldn’t change.

However, he did not hesitate to notify me of the annulment of marriage, and that is how it ended between us.

Giving up everything was a lot easier than I thought.

But…

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Princess Pesentria.”

“……”

“Speaking of the owner of the temple, I wonder if you remember me.”

He, who had the greatest divine power in the Empire, reached out to me.

Tired of loneliness, Lulu decided to create a homunculus (a human made of magic). She went to kidnap a human man to get the most crucial ingredient, ‘the human seed.’ On her way back from failure, a man attacked her and she accidentally cast ‘obedience magic’ on him…... more>>

Come to think of it, why would I let him go? I can obtain the seed from this man. The problem is, I don’t know how to extract it. I must keep this human with me until I figure it out.

He said it was dirty, so he washed himself and cleaned her house. He even cooked delicious food. Above all, she liked the warmth of his embrace at night. Lulu’s desire for a human grew further, one who resembled him. Meanwhile, she discovered how to extract the seed…

* * *

It was a familiar summer night, the same arms she had always fallen asleep in, yet at this moment, the air carried a strange heat she’d never felt before.

“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

There were ten days left before the end of the world, and the people I used to know lined up to visit my hermitage, hoping that I, the former ‘savior’ that they had banished from the Union three years ago, would return to save the world again.... more>>

In return, I placed a semi-obsolete number machine outside my door, which only served to issue queue numbers but not call them.

In fact, I wanted to spill a pot of water just to demonstrate the phrase ‘Spilled water will not return to the bowl’, but considering that there were water-affinity magicians outside… Forget it…

They firmly believed that I was still as soft-hearted as before, and as long as they begged and guilt-tripped me, I would go through all the trouble and risk my life again for the world, just like what happened in the past ten years.

Pardon me, but not this time.

… And, even if the world was destroyed, I won’t die anyway. <<less

Just, what the hell is this situation!?

Although he saved her from falling down the stairs, a sudden expression of love with a fellatio is frightening. Kageo wanted to run away immediately.

“No problem-desu. I will suck more-desu”

“No, Sudou-san, things are already getting bad, though”

Is Sudou-san, a sl*t?

No way. Even though she looks so innocent

“Kageo, annoying!! I like you, true!! Believe-desu!”

Lalya made a sulky face. Because she was really beautiful, there was a punch when she got angry and it was overwhelming.

“I’m sorry!”

Bai Huo picked up a dragon egg at the foot of the mountain. Coincidentally, the dragon egg hatched in front of him.... more>>

At dawn by the lake shore, a small furry head popped out from the cracked shell, and a pair of black eyes stared at Bai Huo.

No one noticed that the gears of fate had quietly started turning at this moment.

Xie Jiaran deals with mild skin hunger syndrome, however, he also has severe mysophobia, to the extent that he even considers whether he has wet wipes on him before shaking hands with others. ... more>>

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 hold me for a while?” <<less
