Stubbornly sticking to his class when most Mages decide to create a new character, Roland gradually discovers tricks of the trade and his unusual talent. This allows him to change people’s stereotypes on Mages and to explore the deeply-buried secrets of this game… <<less

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder," so goes the old adage about art, and nowhere is this truer than in the relationship between Itsuki and Tokiwa. To every one else, Itsuki is nothing more than a useless wallflower, but only Tokiwa can see that the man is actually a diamond-in-the-rough.... more>>

It all began eight years ago, when amateur painter Itsuki Hashimoto and up-and-coming sculptor Masatsugu Tokiwa became friends through their love for art. But a few years later, family circumstances forced Itsuki to cut Tokiwa out of his life. Now, Itsuki is living a confined life as the "human pet" of Yamabe-sensei, Tokiwa's former teacher.

Can Tokiwa help Itsuki break free of his cage? Or has Itsuki become too much of a living "doll," without a soul or freewill of his own? <<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?

The wrong way to act as a villain no.1: Get rid of the protagonist while he still hasn’t become powerful.... more>>

The wrong way to act as a villain no.2: Take the limelight from the protagonist at the key moment.

The wrong way to act as a villain no.3: Make the protagonist fall in love with you, thus making him incapable of completing the final step – eliminating the major villain.

Han Changsheng, Head of the Demonic Cult, is the major villain who’s employed all three incorrect methods.

—————

As the leader of the first Demonic Cult in the underground world of martial arts and cultivation, Tianning Cult, Han Changsheng carried on the long-standing tradition of an unstable mind and a refusal to seek any treatment.

Originally, his life should have passed by quickly and simply, but one day he kicked a descended Immortal Lord off a cliff. In order to make up for this mistake, he must aid the Immortal Lord in ascending back to his position… but why does this mistake keep growing? Hey, Lao zi doesn’t need you as a younger brother, you should look for An Yuan! Don’t chase after Lao zi, you’re destined to be An Yuan’s wife! Don’t worship Lao zi as a martial arts lord, lao zi is the genuine leader of the Demonic Cult! Hey, Hey Lao zi is obviously the major villain! What the hell are you doing?! <<less

When he finds that the first target is a villain, Su Bei still tries to comfort himself in his heart that the one in the next world would be better.

But reality slaps him right in the face. So it turns out the next is always more villainous.

Su Bei has taken the captivating-the-villainous-male-lead way down and could never turn back.

But who could tell him why every villain he has to captivate is actually the damn same one???

I thought I got used to being called a ‘villain’… but even now I’m called a villainess in a novel?... more>>

Soo-in no longer needed to be a villain, nor did she want to be one.

But at one point, she felt something wasn’t right. Everything fit together so tightly, and someone was cleverly driving Beckinia into the ‘villainess’ role.

“You’ll never expect to be hit like this. Your place, from now on, I will steal it.”

In order to reveal the ugly face of Mianel, the heroine of this novel, she decides to become a villainess once again.

Meanwhile, a man approached her.

He was Prince Hysis, the half-brother of Raysid, the Prince, who Beckinia once loved.

“You can use me. In that regard, I can tailor myself as the lady sees fit, but,"

Hysis stopped talking and suddenly looked straight into her eyes.

Only then did Soo-in realize what his intention was.

The plot’s change was starting faster than I thought.

“Would you please cooperate in getting back my original position? From their point of view, this could also be called a rebellion.” <<less

My younger sister who used to harass me has changed! ... more>>

“Me? Tied you up? My sister?”

Why, why are you suddenly speaking formally? She can't even remember what she did!

“It would be good for my older sister to participate in the debutante ball this year too.”

You told me not to go even last year…

“How about a cool-looking guy with black hair who doesn’t seem to get a drop of blood even if he gets stabbed? What about a pretty and delicate young man like a puppy in the rain? There are people who are a little inferior to the two in front of them, but there is one person who is really good!”

She even recited the men’s personal information saying she should know my taste.
No, rather, do I look like I'm going to play with a guy now?

“Will you marry me? Annette of Valois.”

“Annette, Annette, I wish you were a parrot. So that I can watch and raise you in a cage.”

Let's play... It looks like we're going to play...

"Ah, but older sister! That guy can't!!!"

It's all good, but sister, can't you at least tell me why you don’t want anyone?

I wondered why she suddenly became kind, but this little sister seemed to have just come out of the boat! There’s a flower boy approaching my younger sister!

Her Majesty the Empress, who is stuck in a strange place and only favors me!

Oh, I don't know. I'd rather go back to the way it was before... <<less

“You’re beautiful even when bruised. Call it a preference or a taste.”

Elysia was a lady of a noble family. Her future seemed bright, but when she married the handsome Dominic, her life turned upside down. Since then, she had lived a life of domestic abuse for the past eight years. And then she met Enoch. His way of speaking surprised her. Enoch grabbed her wrist before she could come to her senses. His low voice rang in her hears, her shoulders shrinking unconsciously, her breathing shaking and fuzzy.

“I don’t know what I’d do if I end up embracing you. Will you allow me to seduce you? It would very much please me.”

“I’d like to make a deal.”

“The trade is equivalent to an exchange.”

Killian tilted his head to the side. Soon, he let out a soft chuckle and sat on the sofa, saying softly, “Then take out what you have. I don’t know what it is, but is should be attractive enough. I don’t like cheap deals.”

Elysia raised her body, ignoring the pain. She took off her clothes that smelt like medicine. Standing before him with a limp, Killian raised his dark eyebrows. Muttering softly, she said, “I know I look like this now, but if you wait a little longer…”

“Do I look that frightening to you that I would not hold a battered woman? You're beautiful, you know. Cherish yourself more. It is what you deserve. It is what you are owed." <<less
