In the game, the protagonist’s brother and antagonist, Baek Woojin, dies a hundred times. On the day he witnessed the hundredth death, he received a notification.... more>>

[Baek Woojin has died 100 times. A hidden event is triggered! Will you accept?]
To think that a pay-to-win game would offer an event for free, one should have been suspicious. However, the foolish individual who cl**ked ‘Yes’ found themselves reincarnated as the villain, Baek Woojin.

Moreover, the quest received immediately after reincarnation was to reconcile with Baek Soohyuk, the brother who killed Baek Woojin. But wait, if failed, the penalty is death? In a desperate attempt to avoid this insane death flag, he hastily apologizes, only to find…

[Abnormal Condition Activated: Due to ‘Qualm,’ the statement has been modified and transmitted to the other party.]
“If you kneel and beg, there’s nothing that can’t happen.”

All that comes out of his mouth are venomous words, accumulating misunderstandings with Baek Soohyuk. To make matters worse, he unintentionally attracts the attention of the main villain, Kang Gwonhoo.

"Since what you're doing is quite amusing, let's do as you say."

Is this what it feels like to have a shrimp in a whale fight?

Please, both of you, stop paying attention to me. I just want to live a peaceful life! <<less

Koyadori Saya is the most famous person in the school.... more>>

She is good-looking and intelligent. At first glance, she may seem impeccable, but she has an unmatched tongue.
Yet she is still popular with the opposite gender, and today, as usual, she is being confessed—

“This man is my boyfriend, I can’t.”

“Haa..?”

Hey, can you stop calling me, who just happens to be passing by, your boyfriend or something, as an excuse to refuse a confession from a troublesome guy? <<less

Reina Minagi is known as the Queen of Ice in our grade.... more>>

This is not only because of her looks and atmosphere, but also because of the way she responds when she receives a confession of love.

I liked her even though she would surely burn me if I touched her.

Then I came up with a strange idea and decided to attack Minagi-san... <<less

“Please marry me.”... more>>

A two-billion-dollar commission to a mercenary from a private military company.

The condition was marriage for one year.

"Client, by any chance, are you a lunatic?"

"You're the only lunatic person who’s okay with a divorce record on his registration."

Lee Raehwa, the only daughter of Daesan Construction.

In order to complete the painting outside the control of her stepfather,

Raehwa hired a legal guardian to protect her for one year.

However, Kwon Yi-tae, whom she hired as her only hope, was an unpredictable madman.

Marriage and cohabitation, which started as a contractual relationship, was gradually moving in a strange direction……

***

He placed his hand on the back of her neck. The hand that lightly squeezed the back of her neck was large and hot.

"What if I kiss you here now?"

Raehwa let out the breath she had been holding back. Her tense body relaxed. How did he set the mood with something so trivial?

"That's okay."

Kwon Yi-tae raised one eyebrow. Raehwa continued to speak with a slight smile.

"If we want to imitate a fake couple, a kiss is...….”

But she couldn't finish her sentence. Her hair stood on end at the force of his sudden pull.

By the time her eyes opened wide, his face was already close to hers. Her vision was completely covered with Kwon Yi-tae’s face.

He stared at Raehwa with his eyes lowered. A hot whisper fell softly on her skin.

"I don't want to, you lunatic."

Their lips brushed narrowly against each other as he spoke. With a fierce gaze, a threat with a faint sweetness crept in.

"It won't end with just a kiss." <<less

In the winter of three years ago, the first locked room mu*der in Japanese history was committed.... more>>

All of the evidence pointed to the defendant. It was certain they were guilty. And yet, they were found innocent and released. Why? Because the crime scene was a perfect locked room no one from the police or the prosecutor's office could solve.

"Since the room was locked, it was impossible for the defendant to have committed the mu*der. It's no different than if they had a perfect alibi." That was the argument of the defense, and that was the argument the judge sided with.

The ruling sent a ripple throughout Japanese society. No matter how suspicious you were or how much evidence you left behind, as long as you managed to create a locked room that no one could solve, you were immune from prosecution. With the common anti-mystery fiction talking point "there's no reason anyone would ever actually commit a locked room mu*der" completely overturned, the rate of locked room mu*ders in Japan skyrocketed.

When the police proved unable to deal with the surge of locked room crime, the Ministry of Justice published an official categorization of all known locked room tricks as an investigative aid. When that proved insufficient, Division Zero of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, a police division dedicated solely to solving locked rooms, was created. When that still proved insufficient, locked room detectives, private investigators specializing in locked rooms, were officially licensed by the state and authorized to participate in police investigations. Calling a locked room appraiser, someone specializing in searching buildings for secret passages, is now a common first step in criminal investigations.

On the other side of the spectrum, locked room agents, assassins and crime planners specializing in locked room mu*ders, have become some of the most notorious criminals in Japanese history, and even a cult worshiping the scenes of locked rooms as a way to purify the souls of the deceased has made rapid inroads into Japan.

The protagonist, Kasumi Kuzushiro, is an introverted, somewhat cynical high school student who loves mysteries. Kasumi often finds himself dragged along on bizarre journeys by his flighty childhood friend, Yozuki Asahina. Due to their staggeringly bad luck, these trips often leave them in the wrong place at the wrong time to be caught up in locked room mysteries. Fortunately, another of Kasumi's childhood friends, Shitsuri Mitsumura, is the greatest locked room expert in the world, and can always discover the truth.

Hm? How did a high school girl become the greatest locked room expert in the world?

It's simple.

She's...

Su Mu returned to his hometown during Qingming Festival to pay respects to his ancestors. In front of his grandfather’s memorial tablet, he lamented about his loneliness and said that he lacked a wife. However, when he woke up the next day, he discovered that he had transmigrated and became the rich and handsome young master of the Su family. To make matters more complicated, he was supposedly betrothed since childhood.... more>>

He heard that he was so obsessed with someone to the point of being self-destructive and was persistent from a young age, desiring to be with that person. Grandpa Su was so troubled by him and couldn’t help it anymore, so he tore off his old face and went to his rival’s house to beg for this arranged marriage for him.

Furthermore, it was said that the person he was infatuated with was an unparalleled beauty, so attractive that their admirers could go around the Earth several times hand in hand. Just going out for a walk, he could encounter all kinds of love rivals.

He had starry eyes, eagerly waiting for their engagement…

Su Mu pointed at the man with broad shoulders and long legs, who was so handsome that he couldn’t look directly at him, and turned around to ask the old man: “Who is this?”

The old man angrily hit him with a cane: “This is the husband you knelt and begged me for!”

Su Mu: “What?!”

Later, he discovered that he had transmigrated into a book, the setting of which was that same-s*x marriage was legal, and he was just a passerby in the early stages! Within days of getting married, he died!

#I’ll die in the second week after marriage!#

#My husband seems to be the big villain#

#I’m really a straight guy#

Hwarang Seol Yeong, who was named as the horrendous ghost who’d bring forth a great disaster one day.

There was only one way to get rid of the false accusations and return to his original position.

Z1932 was the final test subject of the Mechanical War God project, treated as a thoughtless weapon by human sanctuaries and relentlessly exploited.... more>>

Wu Yin first encountered him during a mission to escort a scientist. With his icy crimson eyes and absolute martial prowess, his appearance alone determined the outcome of the battle.

Upon their next meeting, his arms were bound and suspended by heavy chains, forcing him to kneel with his eyes closed, unable to straighten. Wu Yin, with his inadequate skills, pierced three of his blood vessels, causing blood to spurt wildly, yet he sincerely apologized, "Sorry for staining your clothes."

—Do not interact with Z1932. This mutant is cruel, cold-blooded, and lacks the empathy normal humans should have.

Observing the bloodstains on his garment, Wu Yin doubted the truth of this statement, considering what threat could a creature in such a dire state pose?

Wu Yin decided to rescue this "pitiful creature" and make Z1932 his servant, taking care of his daily needs, working tirelessly for him, and even sharing his bed.

...

Z1932 knew the man who couldn't even accurately target blood vessels was not a real scientist. Desperate to escape the shelter, he took a gamble by pledging loyalty to him, agreeing to numerous unfair conditions—of course, with the intention of reneging on them the moment he gained his freedom.

The next day, he saw the fake scientist's body, horribly dead, with his brain matter s**ked dry by the contaminants outside the base.

Z1932: ...

Z1932: What a useless piece of tr*sh. <<less

When Qin Yan was five years old, she left the capital with her mother and went to the Pingxi Army under the command of her grandfather, Duke of Zhenguo, in the Northwest. When she returned twelve years later, things were different.... more>>

After the mother was attacked and disappeared, everyone in the Prime Minister Mansion only knew of Concubine Song, but not her mother, the honorable mistress. They only knew that there was only one Miss Nian in the mansion, and they did not know that there was also her, the only eldest young lady of the first wife.

The concubine took over her mother’s dowry and pretended to be rich and generous to win people’s hearts. The concubine-born younger sister, with the identity that belongs to Qin Yan, was mixed up like a fish in water in the circle of noble daughters in the capital, and she also intended to get involved with Qin Yan’s fiancé.

The people in Prime Minister Mansion thought that Qin Yan could only be at their mercy when she returned to the capital alone. However, they never thought that within a few days of returning to the capital, Qin Yan was granted the title of Princess of Zhaoren by the emperor and given a palace as the Princess Mansion.

When Qin Yan took back the dowry that belonged to her mother, only then did her father Prime Minister Qin and Concubine Song knew that Qin Yan was the owner of Yu Qingfeng, the first bank in Great Xia.

The City Master of Gu City, an important town outside the Northwest Pass, was known as the owner of Yu Qingfeng, the first bank in Great Xia which claimed to be able to reach half the national treasury.

Leng Mushi unexpectedly awakened to the knowledge that she was a villainess in a novel. The novel’s law told her that if she completed the plot in the novel, she would regain freedom over her life.... more>>

She began to conscientiously play the role of the villainess. She followed the novel’s extremely s*upid ways of framing the heroine and acted out the crazy role of an infatuated person towards the male lead.

On the edge of a desolate cliff, with a deranged appearance, she said, “Brother Xiao, if you don’t agree, I’ll jump down from here.”

On the edge of a cliff in the secret realm, with a twisted appearance, she said, “Brother Xiao, if you go see her, I’ll jump from here.”

On the edge of a cliff in the devil realm, with a tearfully ugly appearance, she said, “Brother Xiao, if you marry her, I’ll jump from here.”

At the border of the netherworld, while crying in despair, she said, “Why don’t you love me? What’s the point of living if you don’t love me? I’m going to jump from here!”

Xiao Mian: … Come down, I love you.

Leng Mushi: Huh?

—

What to do when the villainess, who was too committed to acting out her role, wins over the male lead? Was it too late to reject him?

Xiao Mian: I’ve never been so crazily loved by someone. To be loved in such a passionate and intense way, I don’t think I’ll be able to fall in love with anyone else. <<less

I, Willow Radgem, and Emuria Radgem are cousins. Emuria is the daughter of my father's older brother and a marquess. In contrast, I am the daughter of a earl, belonging to a lower rank.... more>>

Since our fathers are brothers and we are the same age, we were raised like sisters. We frequently visited each other's mansions, played, studied, and went out together. Now that we attend the academy in the capital, we even share the same townhouse.

Because of these circumstances, Emuria is both my cousin and my best friend. For a noblewoman with few playmates, having such a person was very much appreciated.

But there is one troublesome habit she has. That is, she often imitates me.

From dresses to hairstyles, makeup, hair ornaments, school bags, and even ribbons on our uniforms – everything was imitated.

Even the beautifully delicate glass fountain pen, the leather notebook, and the secretly carried gold pocket watch were all copied.

However, she does it without any ill intentions. On the contrary, she doesn't even realize she's imitating; she thinks she found and acquired them because she liked them.

Will she also like the man who i will like? <<less

"This is quite an interesting aerodynamic flight, isn't it. How does it fly when it doesn't satisfy the Kutta Condition. Maybe it has to do with the number of wings and the Bernoulli Theorem? Does it have a built-in engine?"

Richard could not help but wonder as he looked at the dragon he was riding.

"Well, this is good study material. Oh, by the way, you said just now that you kidnapped me as a prince because you wanted to find a playmate for your dragon daughter? Isn't this reason a bit too... outlandish?"
