Paides, the country where Iris was born, waged war on Elda over magic ore. As the war dragged on, her country began to fall behind in numbers, so Paides began enacting a conscription.

Iris, who was still a child, also entered the fray. Not just to fulfill her obligation as a noble, but also to protect her precious family.

…At last, the war ended, but it took away both her cherished hometown and family.

Iris, who inherited the title of duchess, poured her heart and soul into restoring her territory, only for her efforts to be unraveled by the eccentric and naïve princess.

At first, she tried to make the princess—who would eventually become queen—understand how unrealistic her mindset was, but soon gave up after seeing how conceited the proud princess was. Ultimately, she concentrated her efforts on defending her own territory.

“You’re unworthy of the title queen.”

Thus, the curtain rose on the condemnation against her ruthless country… <<less

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

Selected paragraph: Because I had my back to An Zhou, I wasn't sure what he was thinking. All I could sense was the sound of the zipper being pulled down after a few seconds, a scorching and firm object, accompanied by a slightly slick sensation, pressed against the as-yet-undilated entrance.

Amidst the silence, he thrust straight in. The dry pain swept over me, the friction too tight. He got stuck there, causing me unbearable pain.

"Jiji...relax." He leaned down, his lips lingering in my ear, and his low voice was stained with erot*c forbearance.

Such a voice, seductive and enticing, like the whisper of the devil, luring you into the abyss.

Stepping into the abyss and be with him forever.

I gasped for breath as tears streaming down.

When I return from gathering herbs, all that's left is the charred ground; my family has been reduced to ash.

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?
