Fight moderately and play well, this is the ideal life in another world!... more>>

The bastard sword is a sword of moderate length. It’s slightly longer than a short sword, making precise handling a bit challenging. Compared to a long sword its reach falls somewhat short, making winning in direct clashes difficult. Capable of everything, yet not particularly adept at anything. Embracing such a moderate bastard sword, I, Mongrel, a guild man and middle-aged fellow, had a dream.

A dream of living leisurely in peace.

With my abilities, I could use gifts to defeat strong magical creatures if I wanted, and with my modern knowledge, I could potentially transform this different world. However, I choose not to.

Working casually at the guild, immersing myself in cooking and fishing… and if I can occasionally be of help to others, that’s more than enough.

This is the tale of a moderately laid-back guy, an adventure that doesn’t seek too many adventures. <<less

Yan Xu, a novel enthusiast, transmigrates into the body of Owen Hydra, a Viscount in the barren Northern Border. Inheriting a crumbling castle, meager resources, and a handful of loyal subjects, Owen's dream of aristocratic luxury is shattered. His only hope lies in a slowly booting-up system from a corrupted hard drive. As the system partially activates, granting him access to a trove of abilities and units from various video games, Owen begins to rebuild his territory. He navigates political intrigues, bandit raids, barbarian threats, and the mysteries of a world with magic, utilizing his gaming knowledge to establish a hidden power base and amass a loyal following.

Leonardo Blaine, the true war hero of the Raina Logia Empire and the commander of the Armsilver 11th Squad, is dishonorably discharged for disobeying orders during the final battle that could have led the Empire to victory in the territorial war. People criticize and point fingers at him, and after being released on parole from prison, he disappears without a trace.... more>>

Three years later, his name has been forgotten by the world. The Council has been persistently pursuing him, but he has proven difficult to capture. Frustrated by this, Hugo Agrizendro, the commander of the Council’s army, decides to personally apprehend him.

“Since when have you been watching me?”

Leonardo was calculative and astute, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he had been observing Hugo for some time now. However, Leonardo’s answer was something that even Hugo had not anticipated.

“From the very beginning.” <<less

Poor theater actor Lee Soo-hyun.... more>>

He fainted after being hit by a falling light, and when he opened his eyes, he possessed a character in “The Blue Knight of the Holy Sword”, a novel that was discontinued due to unpopularity.

What's more, he transmigrated into the body of Arendt von Eckhart, who betrayed the Knights Templar and was destined to be executed soon.

The only thing left for the character who has completed his or her role on stage is to exit. In other words, there is only death... Character interpretation can vary depending on the actor playing it.

“Please take care of me, you traitorous bastard.”

In order to survive, he must create a role other than that of Arendt, the 'traitor', even if it means twisting the story.

Now, the life-threatening method acting begins! <<less

Chen Cheng, the youngest Nobel laureate, has been reborn through time travel. ... more>>

In this life, he is reborn as a royal infant. Originally, he thought he could enjoy a luxurious life using his princely identity, but unexpectedly, this identity makes him a target of public outrage.

The destruction of civilization, the victor's anthem... Let's see how a prince, whose country is ruined and whose family is destroyed, and who is reviled by everyone, makes a comeback and composes a great anthem of civilization for the world.

***

The chilling wind howled through the desolate mountain passes, a stark contrast to the bright future Chen Cheng had envisioned.

Only moments ago, he was accepting a Nobel Prize for his groundbreaking work in controlled nuclear fusion, a beacon of hope for humanity. Now, a victim of a freak accident, he awakens in a world of magic, a mere infant with the memories of a life dedicated to science.

Reborn as Chen Cheng, a s*ave in the land of Hudun, his former brilliance is now a dangerous secret, his identity a burden. Yet, even in this unfamiliar world, the scientist in him stirs.

He sees the nascent magic, not as divine miracles, but as an untapped field of science, a challenge to his intellect.

With the guidance of Sam Rete, a loyal protector from a fallen empire, and the unexpected kindness of the young noble Finielle, Chen Cheng embarks on a journey to unravel the mysteries of magic, challenge the established order, and perhaps, rewrite the laws of this new reality. <<less

I went to bed after completing the blockbuster eroge game that had become a trending topic in the past few days. When I woke up, I noticed something was different. Somehow, and for some reason, I got reincarnated in the initial stage of the same game that I was playing before.... more>>

The most concerning part was my character. I was playing the role of a character who challenges the hero and gets defeated. In addition, all the routes of this particular character have been confirmed death.

I got reincarnated as an underdog, and the situation is even worse, because someone has already defeated me in a duel. I can’t escape death anymore. But I won’t give up. I have the knowledge of the eroge game that I had cleared in my previous life. I will make full use of it and try to survive.

Shu Mo crossed over into Extreme Cold Apocalypse and even got bound to a simulation management system.... more>>

At the start, the system let her choose a type of shop to manage.

Shu Mo, freezing like a dog: …Do I even need to think about this?

She shivered as she typed in “hot spring street.”

*

The entire world was swept into a bizarre survival game.

Temperatures plummeted, monsters invaded from all sides, resources were scarce, and all warm things vanished from the world, plunging it into an endless winter.

In the tenth year after the game began, the despairing players unexpectedly discovered…

At the foot of a snowy mountain, there was actually a hot spring inn surrounded by rising steam.

—Amid the vast snowy mist, a warm orange light glowed. Steam lingered in the air, the smell of sulfur filled their noses, and as they approached, calm and peaceful background music played in their ears.

The players, realizing what they had found, immediately went wild.

Shu Mo’s hot spring inn quickly became explosively popular, and its business scope gradually expanded.

From various hot springs, foot baths, and saunas,

to steaming oden, hot pot, and ramen,

and even to speciality shops and water parks…

Reluctantly leaving Shu Mo’s inn, the players were shocked to find that they had gained all sorts of buffs on their bodies!

【 Roasted Sweet Potato 】After consumption, stamina recovery speed +4/h (effect lasts 24 hours)

【 Sulfur Foot Bath 】Agility +3, movement speed +3 (effect lasts 24 hours)

【 Speciality: Red Bean Bun 】Instantly restores 20 stamina points (carry limit *6)

…

The players who had already stepped out of the door quickly turned around and went back inside.

What kind of resort is this? This is clearly a massive health pack!!

Accidentally turning the survival game into an idle mobile game, Shu Mo suddenly snapped out of it one day and realized that the game had actually been cleared.

The players, brave and unmatched, with countless buffs above their heads and backpacks full of stamina and mana-restoring specialities, had wiped out the monsters’ lair.

Looking at the “Savior” title that had appeared above her head, Shu Mo: ???

After arriving in a fantastical otherworld, Gauss acquires an adventurer’s handbook—one that allows him to grow stronger the more monsters he slays and catalogs. He originally thought he was about to embark on a classic heroic journey: slay dragons, vanquish demons, and save kingdoms.

Instead, he finds himself endlessly exterminating goblins—creatures that breed like pests and never seem to go extinct. As the goblin kill count and rewards on his monster compendium grow at an alarming rate, his face grows ever more helpless…

“You have slain 1,000 goblins! Intelligence +1, Strength +1, Constitution +1.”

“Title 『Goblin Butcher』 upgraded to 『Goblin Specialist』—you are now an expert in goblin extermination. Few know better than you how to kill goblins.”

“…”

“Title 『Goblin Specialist』 upgraded to 『Goblin Nemesis』—you are now the most terrifying oppressor in goblin history, a nightmare etched deep into their bloodline.”

However, with a Divine Protection that only grants a high level but no magic nor martial art nor supernatural ability, he gradually could no longer keep up with the battle and in the end, a companion, a Sage, remarked ‘You are not a true companion’ as he snatched all his equipment and kicked him out of the party with just a single copper sword.

Long ago, after losing most of their lands in a war against the demon race led by the Four Demon Kings, humanity divided the remaining territory into seven regions. Each was protected by one of the seven holy swords forged by the goddess who created mankind, serving as sacred guardians.... more>>

Countless imitation holy swords, modeled after the seven blades left by the goddess… Wielding these, humanity continues to live while fighting against the invading demons.

Those chosen by imitation holy swords are called holy swordsmen, trained in the arts of war and the blade at the Legendia Holy Sword Academy, the largest institution in the seven kingdoms, located in the Trabilia Kingdom.

Once, there was a legendary holy swordsman known as the Holy Sword King, Edward Tilayur. Among his descendants was a boy named Roy… who possessed no talent for the sword whatsoever, not even capable of a proper swing—a hopeless failure.

Yet, Roy refused to give up. For the sake of his childhood friend, Eleanor, with whom he vowed to become a holy swordsman together. But—Roy remained a failure. He kept losing even to Eleanor, who started training later than him, and his father never stopped calling him "useless."

Still unable to abandon his dream of becoming a holy swordsman… he participates in the annual Holy Sword Selection Ceremony.

Here, he would obtain an imitation holy sword suited to him. If he could just get a holy sword, he could become a holy swordsman.

But at the ceremony… what Roy obtained was a crude wooden sword.

A mere wooden blade, known as the "Holy Sword of No Killing."

Meanwhile, his childhood friend Eleanor was chosen by… one of the seven holy swords, long without a wielder—the Flame Holy Sword, Phoenixia.

Roy was on the verge of giving up his dream.

Then, one day…

"Guess I’ll go hunting…"

Hunting was both a necessity for survival and Roy’s hobby.

Though it was just shooting prey with a bow… what Roy demonstrated was a godlike archery skill—striking vital points from kilometers away with pinpoint accuracy.

In a world where holy swords are supreme, a boy wields a bow with divine mastery.

He couldn’t become a holy swordsman. But… he could become something greater.

[You’re the only one.]

"Huh?"

Recognizing Roy’s worth, the crude wooden sword—dubbed the Holy Sword of No Killing—unleashed its true power. It was the Fifth Demon King, feared even by the Four Demon Kings who once nearly brought humanity to ruin.

This is the story of a boy who wanted to be a holy swordsman but was loved by the bow—and the strongest, most wicked Demon King, sealed away by the Four Demon Kings—saving the world. <<less
