But I have so much potential for it. I’m so darn good at my job. Because I served the tyrant so well, ‘everyone has a happy ending’.

Well then, shall I quit being a secretary and live a leisurely life now?

“Rosaline, tell me what you want?” he asked as he stepped down from his chair.

“I want to quit.”

His eyebrows twitched slightly.

“Do you want to die?”

Your Highness, you never hold on to people who want to leave, so why’re you being like this to me? <<less

Lin Jie is the owner of a bookstore in another world.... more>>

He’s kind and warm-hearted, often recommending healing books to customers who are going through a tough time. From time to time, he secretly promotes his own work too.

Over time, these customers begin to respect him greatly, some even frequently bringing local specialties to repay his favor. They often seek his professional opinion when it comes to selecting books, and share their experiences with this ordinary bookstore owner to people around them.

They respectfully and intimately refer to him using names such as the “Demon God’s Lackey”, “Propagator of the Flesh and Blood Gospel”, “ ‘Corpse Devouring Sect’s Rites and Customs’ Author” and “Shepherd of the Stars”.

‘This country is no good, let’s defect!’

Leblaine chooses to be adopted to earn money until defecting. There was nothing wrong this far, but the place she chose was a family full of villains. She tried to trick those bad guys in order to live comfortably before defecting…

“My daughter is the cutest in the world.”

“Give her the building. She can use it as her bathroom.”

“It’s okay, Leblaine told me not hit you, but she didn’t say not to kill you?”

“Who made my sister cry!”

‘…they’re spiralling out of control, what should I do?’

***

“You can’t hit or kill people just because you don’t like them.”

My family was quiet even though I purposely looked sad.

‘Then there’s nothing I can do!’

I looked back at my family with a sharp gaze and said solemnly.

“I’m going to sleep without a blanket.”

“I’m wrong, kid!”

“I’m sorry!”

“I won’t kill anyone!”

Good. <<less

Zou Liang, a man with a passionate interest in a fighting game came into a world governed by the beast tribes.... more>>

There the ones with high martial ability were respected.

Extreme beauties were a little silly.

This guy felt depressed. Such a crazy world really could force a civilized person like him to turn crazy!

Scoundrel Zou began his unrestrained and destructive journey in the Beast God Continent.

Rules? There are no rules!

Principles? His actions defined the principles!

Occupations? Occupations were as unimportant as fleeting clouds. What he sought was omnipotence!

In a different world, Zou held the same passion.

This is a story of a nobody becoming the great conqueror—step by step—as a human, filled with touching emotions, explosive anger, and hot blood forever! <<less

The iron widow, the spider widow, male hunter, the witch of Neuwanstein castle, the embarrassment of noble ladies…….... more>>

These were all the words used to describe the Marchioness, Shuri Van Neuwanstein. Despite receiving such criticism from the world, she raised her ‘children’, who were unrelated to her by blood and were old enough to be called her siblings. And finally, on the day of the first son Jeremy’s wedding, she felt that all her hard work had tied all the loose ends together.

But she had been terribly mistaken. After hearing the message requesting her to not attend the wedding, she got caught up in an accident and died while leaving the castle.

When she opened her eyes, she woke up on the day of her husband’s funeral, seven years ago. I refuse to suffer any more. I won’t live as I had in the past a second time! <<less

[Infinite Knowledge Quiz]
Question: When you return home and find a ghost resting on your bed, you rush to the door, only to hear eerie noises outside. You look out through the peephole and see another ghost preparing to open your front door. What should you do in this situation?... more>>

Among various answers like “hide in the shoe cabinet” or “hide in the kitchen,” Jie Fangcheng chooses to slowly draw his sword: first, kill the one on the bed, and then kill the one in the elevator.

***
After working diligently for 1,500 years in the underworld, Jie Fangcheng finally retired as an outstanding employee.
His kind-hearted boss asked him, “Would you like to return to the mortal world? That way, you can continue your work as a 007 agent in the underworld after a hundred and eighty years.”
Jie Fangcheng nodded in agreement.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in an infinite game.
The game, “Do Not Respond,” was renowned for its horror, bloodshed, and cruelty. The survival rate in its dungeons did not exceed thirty percent, and death in the game meant real-life death.
Mysterious mountain villages.
Terrifying fairy tale towns.
Apocalyptic Battle Royales…

As players contemplated how to survive in the dungeons, Jie Fangcheng diligently guided and redeemed each NPC.
Jie Fangcheng: “Hello, I’m a recently retired department manager… and now I’m back on the job!”

***
It is said that a newcomer has entered the game, and the dungeon they entered has never been reset.

***
It is also said that someone witnessed NPCs panicking and running around.
Player: How is that possible…

Jie Fangcheng stabbed the ghost leader with his sword, completing the redemption, and wiped his blade: “Who’s next?!”

#What kind of lousy game is this? ［Do Not Respond］but I’ll respond!

#Trying to steal people from the underworld? Did you ask us, the official personnel of the underworld?

Consumption Notes:
1. Not a leveling-focused story, starting at maximum level.
2. Attack and defense mechanics deviate from the traditional rules. The game allows for forced storyline alterations and NPC manipulation.
3. Features a significant number of supporting character perspectives, god-like viewpoint, but not a large ensemble cast. Main focus is on the protagonist and their romantic interest.

I was a popular actress before I came into this world and became Emilone, a Saintess. I was given the nickname “lady who moved dimension.” ... more>>

Even so, I did not receive any special attention. All attention was on Princess Ronella Nestro.

As a result, I decided to devote my life to being a Saintess.

One day, I accidentally discovered the Princess’ secret. The Princess’ innocent and good-natured personality was all an act!

“This might be interesting.”

I may be able to break up my boring routine if I get closer to Princess Ronella.

I decided to make a dangerous decision for fun. <<less

I became the apostle of the god who presides over swords and war.

An Rugu just graduated from university and returned to her small, mountain village to inherit a rundown Daoist temple.... more>>

The Daoist temple is simple and solemn, but there are no visitors, and there is no money for incense.

She heard that doing livestreams can earn money, so she decided to give it a try.

But her livestream isn’t singing and dancing—she tells fortunes.

——————

A divination livestream appeared on the Shark streaming platform, and the netizens who saw it dismissed it at first.

[It’s 2021, and there are still people who practice feudal superstition.]

[Look at you, you scam artist.]

But soon enough, the comments changed completely.

[Ah, master, you said my head was a little green, and my boyfriend who has been with me for ten years really cheated on me!]

[Master, you said that I was facing a bloody disaster. Thank you, master, for saving my life.]

After becoming popular, An Rugu somehow took over the task of promoting the Netherworld and became its spokesperson to the living.

Livestream divination to the living during the day—live attraction for ghosts at night.

[My grandpa came to me in a dream and told me to burn more paper money, so he can reward the streamer with dream money. Damn, the Netherworld really exists?!”]

[F*ck! The thief cried and returned the money to me after seeing the appearance of Hell in the livestream. He said he doesn’t want to go to Hell in the future.]
—————

Slice of life—except that An Rugu’s daily life consists of livestream divinations, conversing with denizens of the Netherworld, and running a halfway home for ghosts who don’t want to reincarnate yet.

Oh, and she also manages a small Daoist temple atop a pretty mountain with a magnificent view of the sky, rising through the clouds. <<less

I ended up possessing the body of Hailey, a villainess who was destined to die soon.... more>>

What’s relatively fortunate, if you can call it that, is that she has one more year to live. However, there’s no time to relax as she’s unceremoniously dumped into a contaminated region below a canyon.

“I’m a possessor!

But wasn’t she supposed to die?

“Do you understand? If you cling to the past, you’ll twist your future into something you can’t recognize. That’s the wisdom left behind by the ancient sages.”

A year later, I’m still alive and farming.

* * *

Hailey, who I thought was just an ordinary (?) witch, was actually a genius.

She could control magic and she could purify zombies.

With talents too precious to waste, I decided to work a little harder:

“How much would it cost to buy everything you have?”

“Ah, uhmm, please let me live.”

During this time, I gained the nickname “Devil Marquess”. and started to attract beggars who regarded me like a child they could use:

“I’m not leaving!”

“Why not? Why on earth not?”

“We want to live by your grace, milady!”

I’m a devil marquess, so why aren’t you scared of me! <<less

Ah, why did I waste my life on this game? Why didn’t I actually quit when I kept saying I would, day after day, because the game was so frustrating? Is this my punishment for playing it?... more>>

Become the leader of a cult religion that has garnered a cult following!

I was a veteran player of [Conclude: Rise of the Othergod Apostle]. I quit because I was fed up with other players, but I still had lingering regrets for [Hapenesus] a God I couldn’t clear no matter what.

Then, an update notification for [Conclude] popped up. Hoping this might be my chance to finally clear [Hapenesus], I logged back in.

Hapenesus: My evangelist.

Hapenesus: You are the first of your kind.

SYSTEM: ‘Hapenesus’ grants you a hidden trait.

SYSTEM: Amazing achievement! You have charmed an ‘Othergod’ with just a conversation!

My excitement about possibly being the first to clear ‘Hapenesus’ was short-lived.

Mother Aelusia: My beloved child.

Mother Aelusia: No matter who you choose, I will find you.

Mother Aelusia: And I will be with you.

“No, what is this? Why is it suddenly turning into a horror story?”

SYSTEM: “Mother Aelusia’ is forcibly summoning you to the Dark Realm.

…And just like that, I found myself pulled into a game where I was supposed to be a leader of a cult religion. But surprisingly, the biggest problem wasn’t that I was going to become a cult leader.

Happy War Evangelist (???): Serf

“Wait, I’m… a serf?” <<less

During the ritual to summon demons, Aiwaz finally recalled memories from his previous life. This should be a network game released and operated by his own company for six years. Now his foster father is the leader of the latest version of the villain organization. And six years later, he will expose his identity and betray the protagonist side, which is hesitating. In the end, because he decided to take a fatal blow for the player character, he was killed by the big brother who played a sinister role without even the chance to enter the instance.... more>>

But in fact, it's not a big problem. Because Aiwaz also knows many exclusive secret promotion routes for player characters, as well as various guidelines as hidden knowledge, he will certainly be able to change his unfortunate fate... So now there is only one question left.

"According to the original plot, shouldn't I have been saved by the protagonist before this ritual started?"

Aiwaz, who was tied to the ritual platform as a sacrifice, fell into contemplation. <<less
