It all happened so abruptly. After finally grasping my situation, I found myself in an entirely different world. Looking around, I noticed others in the same predicament… Could this possibly be one of those Hero developments?... more>>

Was there a tyrannical Demon Lord needing extermination, or would I be tossed into the maelstrom of war? Whatever it was, I was afraid. I never wanted to be a Hero. I don’t want to harm another…… Ignore the nonsense I was spouting; there was nothing to fret over.

The Demon Lord was slain a thousand years ago, and 800 years had passed since the last war. The nobles didn’t treat us summoned like tr*sh; instead, we were kindly cared for. The Demons have been on good terms with Humans for some time now. Dangers, such as monsters, were being taken care of by the Guild and the Order of Knights. What’s more surprising is the fact that I wasn’t even a hero! Instead, I was unintentionally summoned!

It also turns out that this world was a world in which the three races, the Spirit World’s Magical Races, the Celestial World’s Divine Races, and the Mortal World’s Human Races, are kind neighbors. Here, everyone lives a peaceful and fulfilling life.

In summary, this other world was――at peace.

What’s my plan for the future? For my limited stay here, I will live this world to its fullest; going on a cultural exchange, sightseeing, then, after experiencing the festival that is only held once every ten years, …… I shall safely return home.

However, despite my lust for a peaceful last year before returning, this planet’s heavyweights have begun amassing around me, and…… <<less

There’s a game called “Sword and Legions.” It’s a war game in the strategy simulation and RPG genre. I got really hooked on this game, and I think I’ve been playing it exclusively for the past few years.... more>>

And today, as part of my daily routine, I started playing Legions again, intending to start another loop play, which must be like the umpteenth time by now… But the next moment, I found myself seated on a throne, clad in armor. WHY?

I was freaking out, but then I realized that I was in a castle, which turned out to be the base in Legions. Did I end up in the game world?

No way, that’s just crazy!

I screamed in the throne room, and suddenly, someone jumped into the room—it was a character I edited in the game…

Heartbroken and wanted to commit su*cide?

Nonsense!

But how did God decide to let her transmigrate to ancient times and become a little maid?

In this era of distinct classes, a maid has no human rights at all.

She knew it very well. If you want to live a good life, you would have to follow a kind master.

But she didn’t expect this second young master Qiao to be so two-faced?! A serious and elite gentleman by day and a rogue by night!

Alas! She wanted to get a new job. Is it too late to seek a new master? <<less

"Adel, as of today, I strip you of your position as the Seventh Prince! Never show your face in front of me again!"... more>>

This world, I thought, is filled with "unreasonableness."

The leader of an adventurer party who treats comrades like disposable pawns.
A corrupt lord who imposes tyranny on the people while indulging in steak himself.
A guild master who dismisses loyal comrades with a single word of salary theft.
A noble brat who discards his fiancée just because he found a new woman.

And... a shitty parent who banishes their own son just because he didn't inherit the desired ability.

The protagonist, Adel Vandale, wanted to eradicate such unfairness from this world.
Having been labeled as having an inferior job ability and expelled from the royal family, he himself had bitter experiences of having his position as the Seventh Prince stripped away.

Two years after being banished from the royal family, Adel operated a "Revenge Agency" to eliminate the unfairness rampant in the world.
He believed it would be a way to utilize the job ability bestowed upon him by the gods.

"Adel-sama, today's client has arrived."

Meya, a maid, announced, and yet another "client" visited Adel's revenge agency today.

"Executioner-sama! Please, please avenge me...!"

Upon hearing those words, Adel activated the job ability bestowed upon him by the gods, and a jet-black scythe appeared in his hand.

"Magic Scythe: Igarima."

Adel's ability that was once scorned as inferior.
It was an ability to grow stronger based on the opponent's misdeeds and harvest their job abilities.

"The execution coefficient is 7023 points... This guy is quite the bastard again."

Adel muttered, wielding the jet-black scythe in hand.

To execute one more unjust person who had spawned unfairness in this world today... <<less

Wade, a boy born in the slums and raised by terrible parents, finds a glimmer of hope when he becomes an apprentice adventurer. Enduring grueling training, he’s promised to be taught magic if he perseveres.... more>>

On the day of his fateful magic instruction, while others are granted promising fire and water magic, Wade receives what seems like the worst of luck—a magic called “Slow Magic.”

In despair upon realizing it’s a spell that makes him clumsy, Wade recalls memories of his past life as a corporate s*ave.

“Huh? ‘Slow Magic’? That sounds like gravity magic, a powerful spell!”

Yes! In this underdeveloped world, where the concept of gravity is largely unknown, Wade is underestimated.

Determined, Wade faces his newfound gravity magic head-on. Increasing his own weight boosts his attack power, while being lighter makes him more agile. He can even float lighter than air and pseudo-create objects by manipulating gravity’s focal point.

Thus, despite ridicule, Wade uses gravity to overcome those who mock him, defeat goblins, and even topple boss monsters.

Teaming up with a fellow unpopular magic user and a boy aspiring to be a hero, Wade delves deeper and deeper into dungeons in search of thrilling battles against the strongest foes. <<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...
