Xu Mu was a hardcore otaku, who one night died suddenly from playing games late into the night, only to open his eyes and find himself alive again.... more>>

A noisy black ball surrounded him, claiming he had entered into some novel as a cannon fodder extra.

Xu Mu firmly believed he was experiencing hallucinations, waving his hand to dismiss the black ball.

With a "sizzle," after a few seconds, the black ball disappeared.

Sure enough, it was just a hallucination, and he went back to sleep satisfied.
-

Once, while out, Xu Mu encountered an injured rabbit on the road.

He intended to bandage the rabbit's wound, but the rabbit kept struggling, refusing to cooperate.

"Be good, I'll take you back to bandage your wound."

The rabbit stopped struggling.

Xu Mu: How fierce, but quite spiritual.

After bandaging the rabbit's wound, it ran off without looking back.

Xu Mu felt regretful, his wish of raising a rabbit shattered.

His life as a shut-in continued, until one day, the doorbell rang.

A fair and gentle man stood at the door, offering cookies and speaking softly, "Hello, I'm your new neighbor who recently moved in..."

Xu Mu didn't catch the rest of the words, his attention entirely on the box of cookies.

So hungry.

The man smiled gently, "Go ahead, eat."

Xu Mu wolfed down the cookies, only realizing he behaved inappropriately afterward. He looked at his neighbor sheepishly.

The man didn't say anything, his gaze still soft and accepting.

Later, Xu Mu discovered that his neighbor, who frequently visited, was an excellent cook. He often received delicious food, juices, and occasionally, dinner invitations.

From initially feeling anxious and guilty, Xu Mu gradually felt at ease, all within a few short months.

Xu Mu pondered that it wasn't right to keep eating without giving back, so he handed his bank card to his neighbor.

The man slowly widened his eyes, "What... do you mean?" His face started to flush slightly, a hint of crimson on his skin.

Xu Mu focused on his game, hastily handing over the card, "Take it."

—My food expenses are all covered in there, thank you for your hard work.

Recently, the man's frequency of sending delicious food had increased, and he even accompanied Xu Mu to play games every day, sometimes even helping him tidy up the house.

Xu Mu felt that something was amiss, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

“Huh? Who are you calling loser?”... more>>

As the background of the class, I, Kazuhiko Nukumizu, witnessed a popular girl – Anna Yanami, getting rejected by another guy.

“When did he say that?”

“When we were 4 or 5 years old.”

That doesn’t count, right?

With this, the losing heroines like Remon Yakishio from the Track and Field Club, and Chika Komari, from the literature club.

“Nukumizu-kun. There are two types of girls. Childhood friends or cheating cats.”

If one must strive to be loved, then I will give up such trivial pursuit.... more>>

I will no longer try to kill myself.

Kalia Estelle, the cursed daughter of a count, had spent her entire life trying to be loved.

She had done everything to prove that she was different from her mad father, who killed their people and burned their land.

But all she achieved was the accusation of being the “devil’s daughter.”

The day before she came of age, Kalia made up her mind.

She would no longer seek cheap affection.

She wouldn’t sacrifice her soul for a fleeting love.

And if there was a next life, she wouldn’t seek love again.

As her consciousness faded and her breathing became labored, she suddenly found herself transported back five years to the past.

“I love you.”

I hesitated and backed away as Claude approached me.

But my back was against the wall, and before I knew it, he was standing right in front of me.

“Kalia.”

He peered through the small gap between his fingers that covered his face, carefully watching my reaction.

Despite his disheveled appearance, he was radiant at the moment.

He kneeled down and gently took my trembling right hand, making me feel as if this had all been a dream.

His lips touched the back of my dry hand.

“Just as you showed me the light and opened a new life for me, I want to do the same for you.”

Beneath his long, thick lashes, his eyes were filled with an unfamiliar emotion.

“You know why I live. Kalia, please let me love you.” <<less

After a red meteor slashed through the heavens, human progress ground to a halt. ... more>>

Since that momentous day, humanity lost its ability to create rockets, nuclear weapons, airplanes, cars...

The towering pyramid of civilization, meticulously built from the achievements of modern science, crumbled into dust.

Yet, the catastrophe didn't stop there. The grey realm, following the arrival of the red meteor, like a ghostly reflection behind a mirror, dragged the civilized world bit by bit into the abyss of disorder.

In this new age, a human life was no more significant than a speck of dust, yet amidst the ruins, humanity's spirit shone as brightly as the stars.

Amid the crumbling edifice, observers could see a figure—an actor—defiantly standing on the wreckage of civilization, his red cloak as vivid as blood, his expressions flickering between laughter and tears. Behind him, the curtain of the era gently parted. With arms wide open, he whispered to all who would listen— "Let the show begin." <<less

The main character ….. Saeki Yui has been a high school student since April.... more>>

But in the first few weeks of his enrollment…… , he did not try to get involved with anyone.
Therefore, he was already a confirmed gloomy loner in his class.

“I don’t trust real people anymore. My hope lies in …… two dimensions.”

After three years, he meets them again, and they have all turned into beautiful girls that everyone is attracted to.

A former idol who suddenly retired, the most beautiful half-girl in the school, and a beautiful girl who is a very popular streamer …….

As soon as they meet again, they will use their good looks to come on to the main character. ……but

My name is Tadano Akiru.... more>>

I’m just your average high school student.

I’m not very smart, I’m not very good at my thing, and I have a bad memory, but that’s all there is to it.

However, I regret to say that I have a childhood friend of the opposite gender.

Of course, she is not just a childhood friend, but a beautiful girl who everyone will look back on.

A beautiful girl who would certainly be a heroine if this world were a story of some kind.

Her name is Kosaka Akemi.

I have known Kosaka Akemi since kindergarten, and unlike me, she is extremely talented.

She is so talented that she was scouted for vice president by the charismatic student council president at this school. She is a beautiful girl with her outstanding appearance, academic ability and leadership skills that allow her to join the student council already in her first year.

She is a different creature from me, living in a world too different from mine.

She is a special existence that I would normally never have anything to do with.　

There was no way I could get along with such a distant existence just because we were childhood friends, and we hadn’t exchanged a word for more than a year now.

And yet…

“Well..! The cleaning is over, let’s go home!”

“Eh? go home….Where?”

“Eh? Of course! To your room, right Aki-kun?”

Why are you getting involved with me after all this time? <<less

Mu Yun Gui was the white moonlight of the male lead in a cultivation-based book.... more>>

Mu Yun Gui herself didn’t know that she was a short-lived white moonlight, until one day, a junior sister who was the eldest lady from a prominent family came into her life and turned her life upside down.

Her childhood sweetheart slowly got estranged from her and became close to the junior sister. In the end, he even abandoned her to save that junior sister.

When Mu Yun Gui plunged into the deep sea, she saw a triumphant smile on the junior sister.

At that time, she knew that the junior sister was a girl from a different world, and this world was a book. The cause of her cultivation stagnation was that the girl had robbed her luck.

After the fall, Mu Yun Gui opened her eyes and found that she was not dead, but fell into an underground cave.

In the cave, there was a ten-thousand-year-old ice block with a person inside it. Mu Yun Gi thought that this person also like her fell into the forbidden area, and out of good intentions, she unlocked the seal.

Jiang Shao Cai was sealed in an ice block for ten thousand years.

Suddenly one day, he was awakened by a girl. The girl was embarrassed, but still smiled at him and said, “Did you fall too? It’s okay, I will save you.”

The girl didn’t know that the boy she saved was a legendary genius from ten thousand years ago, who was abandoned by the immortal world and fell into the dark. <<less
