In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the gaming industry has seen an explosion in popularity. One of the most popular games ever released is Mystery Maker, a VR RPG where players can create baffling puzzles in a virtual space and challenge other players to solve them.... more>>

As a promotional stunt for the game's upcoming sequel, eight real life great detectives have been hand chosen by Kurata Chikage, executive director of MegalodonSoft, to challenge each other to a match in a demo of Mystery Maker 2. Among them are Kamo Touma, a magazine contributor well known for his investigative work overturning false convictions, and his wife's cousin Ryuuzen Yuki, a recently debuted mystery novelist.

However, on the day of the demo event, the detectives are all drugged. When they awaken, they find their smartwatches are locked to their wrists and they are shown videos of their families and loved ones being held hostage. They are contacted by a Gamemaster, who tells them that if they wish to save themselves and their families, they must play a death game called "Delicious Death for Detectives".

As scheduled, the eight of them will play Mystery Maker 2's demo, and the Detectives will challenge the mu*der puzzles created by the mu*derer. If the Detectives are not able to reveal the mu*derer and their tricks before the time limit, all players will be killed. However, if the mu*derer is exposed, both they and their hostages will be killed. And if a Detective makes an accusation but gets even the tiniest detail wrong, they will be mu*dered by the Gamemaster's secret accomplice, the Executioner.

Now the only way for the eight detectives to survive is to expose the mu*derer and Executioner lurking among them, even if they must risk their lives and those of their compatriots to do so.

Which is an especially big problem for Kamo, because he's the one who's been chosen as the mu*derer! <<less

I am a female secretary of an overbearing president in a typical dog blood drama novel.... more>>

The kind of person who, at the end of the day, doesn’t even have a name and could only be called “secretary”, the one who wears a tight fitting black dress and a pair of 10cm high heels every day, running around in front of the president, humbly praying for the president’s attention, and hating the heroine.

In fact, I really don’t. If I like the president, I’ll be struck by lightning.

I’m getting more and more sick of the president lately. Except for the outstanding appearance that the author forced on him, this person is really useless from head to toe, low in EQ, and low in IQ.

A legendary business genius who is all-powerful, but he doesn’t even understand anything, chickens know more than him.

I had to reject all of his unreasonable demands every day, and on the way, teach him relevant knowledge of economic law and finance, and gradually.. he became a master.

I’m so tired, I really want to quit my job. <<less

I’m sorry for the Male Lead, but I decided to do my duty.

But.

“Did you say your name is Rose?”

Richard’s blue eyes gleamed eerily.

I am Albus Arkington, a man known for his cruelty and lack of compassion. I rescued the Elven s*ave girl because I thought, "She could be worth a lot if I sell her." It was certainly not an act of kindness.

I possessed a dying wife of the male lead with a split personality. I couldn’t even run away because it happened on the day of the wedding.... more>>

But still, I comforted myself that as long I don’t run into Kid the Killer, I should be able to live somehow.

As if laughing at my thoughts,

Kid came to see me on the first night.

“Is that what they call pretending to be asleep? Your acting is pretty good. Now, if you don’t wake up in the count of three—”

“Eek, I’m awake!”

He said that if I wanted to live, I needed to seduce his other personality, the high priest “Seniel”. He said Seniel would keep me alive as long as I became his most prized thing and his weakness.

But once I’ve become his weakness, will he spare me? Kid said he would kill me in due course to step on Seniel.

In the end, it’s a matter of dying now or dying later.

***

In the morning, Seniel was in tears.

“It’s all my fault.”

I kind of comforted him in order to survive. The only way I could live was to pretend to get close to him and run away while he was off guard. <<less

Qin Duan thought he had long forgotten the taste of pain. But at the moment when his primordial spirit shattered, he still experienced an indescribable agony that made every pore tremble. This pain originated from within, as if countless knives were tearing him apart from his internal organs to his soul. Even his breath carried a sweet scent of blood.... more>>

Wide-eyed, Qin Duan looked up at the lingering heavenly tribulation and roiling dark clouds above him as his body rapidly plummeted downward. With his consciousness gradually fading, he knew he had failed to overcome the tribulation.

Having experienced ninety-eight thunder tribulations since cultivating the demonic path for over a thousand years, Qin Duan could not endure this final and ultimate tribulation. His train of thought was cut off, and the last scene in his mind was that final thunder tribulation striking directly at his remaining primordial spirit.

Thus, the world would no longer have the Demon Lord, Qin Duan.

After being reborn into the furnace cauldron, the Demon Lord discovered that those who had conspired against him were actually interested in him romantically... As a junior under a senior (1VN), he was always the submissive partner.

It wasn’t the first time she had met him.... more>>

However, at the time, in the corridor of the KTV, he smiled with charm as he hugged the girl in his arms.

It had left such a deep impression within her.

What happened later on?

Later–

Her boyfriend, Lu Sibei, luxuriously invited his group of friends. He came late.

Someone yelled, “You have to drink for being late.”

“Why didn’t you bring your girlfriend along?”

That person only smiled lightly, “We broke up.”

“Oh, how many months was it this time?”

That person lifted his eyes, his voice flat, “That’s enough.”

In the private booth, the lights were dimly lit. Meng Shengnan drank her cola with her head down, but the drink in her tongue tasted both cold and bitter.

At the time she hadn’t realised yet that later on, she really couldn’t have anyone else but him.

_

During her youth, Meng Shengnan had fallen for someone. Yet, she knew that she would never be the type he liked, so she buried her unrequited love deep within her heart.

Many years later, she met him again in her hometown.

He was no longer the unruly and carefree youth she remembered, instead, he would often pass through the old streets of Jiangcheng in a pair of flip-flops. The first time they met again, he stared at her, unshaven, his eyes full of untold stories.

Her heart raced and he chased after her relentlessly. For her, he got his act together, started all from nothing, and wiped away his past humiliations. It was as if he had responded to the words she had written many years ago in the book she had gifted him: “In the days where the flower of youth blooms, I want to help him find his way after losing his path.” <<less

Fei Ni preferred having a house over love. ... more>>

If it weren't for the requirement to marry in order to get a house, Fei Ni would never have married Fang Muyang.

To outsiders, it seemed as though Fei Ni had chosen Fang Muyang solely for his looks, as there was little else to commend him for beyond his handsome face.

As time went on, Fang Muyang's renown soared due to his exceptional talent in painting, and his parents' social status was restored. Everyone praised Fei Ni's discerning eye, acknowledging that she had recognized Fang Muyang's latent brilliance long before others.

Little did they know, this was a journey that started with youthful innocence, evolving into an enduring companionship. It was difficult to discern whether it was the blossoming of unrequited love or the result of a fateful encounter through marriage...

When the Arpen Empire decided to no longer wage war, small countries nearby could finally breathe. But this peace was meant to be shattered, for soon after, envoys were sent to each country issuing a golden decree to each of the royal families.... more>>

“To establish an alliance with the Arpen Empire, each kingdom must send a princess to become a Crown Princess Candidate. The princesses will undergo six months of training to divide them into those who have the potential to become empress and those who will be concubines. Any kingdom disobeying the imperial edict shall be seen as enemies and their access to the River Judith’s stream will be blocked.”

“The God of Judith” was an age-old love song that had been sung from generation to generation. The ballad passed from the grandma’s lips to the little girl’s, from her to another, and another… etching a place in time. But this was no tale of admiration and envy, for all whose ears it reached agreed that the God of Judith was foolish.

Standing by the banks, a woman gazed at the River Judith before her… where the god may have stood thousands of years ago, her hand resting on her heart, a suffocating feeling clutching at her.

“The god isn’t the only one who’s foolish… Humans are the same as well… You and I.”

Viola’s long-cherished dream was not to marry and be someone’s wife but be hailed as the queen of the Kingdom of Koronis.

It was a political marriage to the Crown Prince of the Arpen Empire.
