As a rare genius who only appeared once in a century, Shi Jingzhi’s life was not long. He also wanted to go to the ghost tomb to find the Vision Flesh and make a divine medicine to live a little longer. In order to smoothly enter the tomb, he took on an innocent disciple to go along as a smokescreen.

The two competitors faced each other, feeling very pleased in their hearts: not bad, they had successfully deceived the other person. <<less

On one spring evening when I was eight years old, I, Erica, Duke of Aurelia’s daughter, realized something.... more>>

Huh, I have reincarnated into a fantasy world, haven’t I?

Moreover, it was the romance-fantasy girl game that had the reputation of being bloody, 『Liber Monstrorum ~Phantom Beasts and the Winter Princess~』

The face reflected in the mirror was that of the villainess character of that game.

After repeatedly harassing many characters, including the heroine, she would die without exception, signaling the beginning of an event called the bizarre incident. She was a villain who deserved to get the consequences!

—I absolutely don’t want a destiny like that, though?

No, since I have remembered the memory of my previous life, I will make sure that kind of thing does not happen.

In my previous life, I was harassed immensely by an irrationally angry yandere man who thought I was in love with him.

My cause of death, too, was from being stabbed by another yandere man who I only had talked with a few times…

Now that I have become the haughty villainess Erica, I shouldn’t encounter more misunderstandings like with the previous life’s yandere men anymore, right…?

In that case, it will be fine as long as I deal with the death flags that I may have raised myself.

All right! First of all, before the bizarre incident begins at the Magic Academy, I will strike down the death flags accordingly!!

—Or so I thought, but it seems that I am about to die.

Eeh, how did this happen—!? <<less

[Welcome to 『The Opponent of the Dragon』.]
“Oh my, the book talks!”... more>>

[I am a guide for travelers who have transmigrated into the novel.]
I possessed the body of Tiarozety Isol, a supporting character in 『The Opponent of the Dragon.』

The book will send me back to my world as soon as I complete the ending of the male lead, Lexion.

The problem is, I’ve never read this book before.

Besides…

[If the development of the story deviates from the original, the traveler gets a penalty right away.]
“Penalty?”

[Yes. The penalty is that the novel proceeds in the direction the traveler doesn’t want the most.]
“Oh my god.”

I was able to play the role of Tiarozety firmly. But then, I suddenly fell in love with the male lead, Lexion Sparrow.

“I’ll miss you.”

I was able to complete the ending by dying for him.

However- There was a problem with the ending. Thus, I returned to the beginning of the novel again. Somehow, I was sent back again inside the novel on my way home.

And-

“Titi, choose me. Not this damn fate.”

“………”

“Choose me, even if the path is rough. Because I’m ready for anything.”

And that’s how… Lexion, the male lead, began to cling onto me. <<less

I’ve had enough of being transmigrated into books.... more>>

You would be tired of it too, especially if it was already your fourth time doing it. This time, I became the female lead’s villainous older sister.

‘Oh, I’m so sick of this.’

Yet again, I was sure this life wouldn’t be exciting either. I had led straightforward lives before, and then I died and moved on to the next.

But why was it that this iteration was a tad different?

‘Why can I use the abilities I had in my second transmigration?’

‘Why is the female lead bothering me so much?’

Alicia, this novel’s protagonist, was fated to have a poor, emaciated life. However, considering that she was this novel’s true heroine, I couldn’t just let her roll through the mud like this. I would do everything in my power to change her fate.

‘My younger sister, don’t become the female lead this time.’

To achieve my goal through a project hereby dubbed as the [Mob-Alicia Project], I’ve recruited the male lead’s older brother.

Cassion Carter.

He was the villain who was almost killed—no, was fated to be killed—by the male lead.

“If you want to live, promise me one thing.”

As if he was a wild beast that had been hunted and left to die alone, he breathed with incredible difficulty. I reached toward the poor man’s face and caressed his cheek, leaning down to whisper softly.

“If I save you…”

Lay down your own life on the line to protect my sister. <<less

Hisaki-san responded, “Sure,” with a muddled look in his eyes, and put his arms lightly around my cheek.

And then―

His well-formed lips, which I had assumed I could never possess, overlapped with mine.

I am a knight. To be precise, I am the Church of the God of Light’s Sun Knight.... more>>

The Church of the God of Light worships and serves the God of Light, and theirs’ one of the three largest religions on this continent.

As the whole continent knows, the Church of the God of Light has the Twelve Holy Knights, and each one has his own unique personality and features.

To be the Sun Knight is to have shining golden hair, sky blue eyes, a compassionate nature, and a brilliant smile.

“The benevolent God of Light will forgive your sins.”

I must have said that line at least a million times in my time as the Sun Knight.

However, the greatest wish in my life is to be able to stand before the entire continent and roar, “Damn your ‘the whole continent knows’! This Sun Knight just doesn’t feel like smiling! I just don’t want to forgive these human tr*shes! I just want to pepper my sentences with ‘f***’!”

Unfortunately, even to this day, I continue to wear a smile as I say, “The benevolent God of Light will forgive your sins.” <<less

With one sentence from Qu Chenzhou, he killed Prince Liu’s family.... more>>

The reason was that he was the sword in the hands of the emperor, and the Prince was a thorn in the emperor’s eyes.

But the words were what Qu Chenzhou said himself.

After the Prince defected, he vowed that one day he would surely throw away his bones as ashes,

And for this word, he waited for the Prince in the capital for many years.

Jiang Yiyi realises he has transmigrated into a survival video game named ‘Annals of Stargaol,’ also known as ‘The 108 Fancy Ways for Players Killing Themselves.’ It’s known for its high difficulty, lethality and overpowered NPCs.

If the game turns real, perhaps even surviving half an hour would be too much to ask?

Jiang Yiyi shudders. Between the player character and a random background character, he chooses the latter, only to find himself forced into a dalao role on a daily basis.

However, the man who’d told me that he cheated on me because he thought that I was unattractive was now apologizing.

“I’ve changed my mind. I’m interested in you.”

“I never thought that I would find my first love at this age. If you feel sorry for me, why don’t you pay me back.”

In addition, the Duke that I temporarily allied with to be able to break up with my ex-fiancé started becoming obsessed with me. I was just trying to accomplish my revenge so why is everything so different from the past. <<less

The once wealthy and powerful Ryuuzen clan has been all but destroyed. Their misfortune began in 1960, when a majority of the family was wiped out when their vacation villa was buried under a landslide. However, search and rescue teams discovered something even more shocking: A majority of the bodies they discovered showed obvious signs of having been mu*dered before the landslide.... more>>

As though it were a trigger, what came to be known as "The Curse of the Ryuuzen Clan" spread throughout the descendants of the family's only survivor. By mu*der, by su*cide, by accident... it seemed none who held the name "Ryuuzen" could live to see the age of 35, and now, the family has been reduced to a single woman, lying in a hospital bed, days away from death.

Kamo Touma was once just another of the endless parade of sleazy tabloid journalists looking to exploit a prominent family's tragedy to sell magazines, but Ryuuzen Rena's kindness melted his frozen heart, driving him to quit his old job and become an investigative journalist specializing in overturning cases of false arrest. Eventually, he and Rena were married, but now, the curse threatens to steal away their happiness.

Kamo prays for a miracle, and his prayers are answered by the Hourglass of Miracles, an artifact spoken of in rumors and urban legends, said to grant one wish to anyone who obtains it.

"Meister Hora", a guide for those who obtain the hourglass, tells Kamo there is only one way to break the curse and save Rena: He must travel back in time to the year 1960 and catch the culprit of the original Ryuuzen Family massacre.

Who was the culprit of the mu*ders that took place almost 60 years ago? Why did they steal away the lives of the Ryuuzen clan? What is the true nature of the "Curse of the Ryuuzen Clan?" And perhaps most mysteriously of all... What is Meister Hora's goal in all this?

Shen Yao has been in three relationships. His first love was a bad-tempered high school bully who treated him well, his old love was a gentle and considerate university school grass*, and his new love is the rich thigh he hugged

He attended the banquet with his new love and they looked absolutely compatible.

Shen Yao was very cooperative and looked at his new love lovingly the whole time. He heard a sneer after the act, but what he saw when he turned around was his first love who had been scumbagged by him.

The first love he hadn’t seen for a long time blocked him in the bathroom, and said strangely: “It’s been a long time since I have seen you, why are you still so good at hooking up with an Alpha?”

The new love looked down on Shen Yao, an Omega who was only interested in profit. After learning about his entanglement with his first love, he asked uncontrollably, “Didn’t I give you what you want? Why do you want to find someone else?”

Shen Yao didn’t smile at him like before, and said casually: “It’s just a transaction between us, it’s meaningless to be emotional.”

Finding out he was missing, the first love came to the door and wrestled with the new love, so Shen Yao took the opportunity to run out.

He threw himself into the arms of his old love:

“They don’t treat me well at all, only you love me the most.”

The old love hid the emotions in his eyes, hugged him without saying a word, and forgave all the hurt in the past.

Shen Yao spoke sweet words to the three men, watching the jealousy until his deepest secret was discovered.

Since then, Shen Yao’s glands have been covered with tooth marks all year round, and the pheromones on his body can never be dissipated.

This is the story of "Raine" and "Marie", two souls bound by the daggers' curse to kill one another, over and over again.... more>>

France, 1243. Lapis Lazuli Castle is the name of an insignificant relay fort nestled away in a forest east of Carcassonne. Its ruler, Count Geoffroy, and his only daughter, Marie, are both believed to be insane. The root cause of their shared madness is the mysterious disappearance of Geoffroy's wife three years ago, which caused Geoffroy to grow detached from humanity and cast Marie into a deep depression. After three years of wandering in a state halfway to nonexistence, Marie works up the nerve to ask her chief bodyguard, Sir Raine, to investigate her mother's death, confiding that on the night of her mother's disappearance, she had witnessed something impossible. However, her investigation only prompts a new tragedy.

The French-German border, 1916. As World War I rages on, Raine and Marie's latest reincarnations live the life of a sub-lieutenant in the French army and a medic with the Red Cross, respectively.

However, he didn’t know that the person he thought was gentle would sneak into his room every night and eagerly lick the sensitive area between his legs. What he thought was the le*d juices of his s*xual arousal was the boss’s s**en after ejaculating inside.
