He possessed overwhelming swordsmanship, outstanding looks and sharp intelligence, but there was one thing he lacked: humanity.

"Uh......"

Jin-hee rubbed her habitually dry eyes.

Then, putting down her spoon with a clank, she said.

"So from now on, I'm going to quit my job and make some money as a hunter. Oh, and tonight's dinner is the worst. I don't think putting pork belly and bracken in fish cake soup is the way to go."
"......Doesn't it seem like a health food?"
"You'll get sick eating it."

I thought the world was vast, for me to wander, but now, it has only become a cage. For a life unhindered, I wield a single sword to pierce the ninth heavens. People find me displeasing, but there's nothing they can do. That's the kind of life I love!... more>>

"Stop! I paved this path and I planted these trees. If you want to pass through..."

"Brother, I come from the Dustfallen sect."

"What? The Dustfallen sect! Piss off!"

Ascending to the throne at eighteen, not half a year passes before civil strife erupts in Yun Nan. Though the thoughts of the old guard at the imperial court are not exactly identical, they are all waiting to see how the new emperor will put an end to this.

Unexpectedly, before this side could make a move, a few thousand miles away, the King of Xi Nan, Duan Bai Yue, had already personally commanded troops to attack in all directions; not half a year had passed when peace was restored.

Sparse moonlight shines into the palace; Chu Yuan stamped the wax seal himself, and had a secret letter sent urgently to Yun Nan 800 miles away — this time, what must we(1) give in exchange?

Brush marks passed through the back of the paper; it almost can be seen, when writing this line, how angry the young emperor was.

Duan Bai Yue spread out a piece of paper unhurriedly, replying with only one word.

You.

Note (1): Chu Yuan is using the royal ‘we’ here.

Qiao Wan has always understood that she is the substitute for Mu Xiaoxiao, the younger martial sister of the Kunshan Sect, whom they found as a replacement after Mu Xiaoxiao passed away.

Despite how others said she wasn’t as brave, adorable, or smart as Mu Xiaoxiao, Qiao Wan didn’t mind that her own worth was erased. She doubled her efforts, hoping not to disappoint the expectations of her sect.

For so many years, she had been living for others. Now, Qiao Wan just wanted to live her life in a dignified manner for once, and not to forget, to crush those foolish people who tried to manipulate her.

I, Wu Qingsong, a world traveller.... more>>

I arrived in a world ruled by elves and full of cute beastwomen.

Elves should be beautiful and elegant creatures, but the cruelty and indifference of the elves in this world completely overturned my wonderful imagination of them.

And those fluffy beastwomen were forced to endure their tyranny.

No, I cannot just watch while all these things happen right in front of my eyes!

I must lead beastwomen to stand up and bravely resist!

Soap, gunpowder, fertilizer, hot air balloon, steam engine, Master Sun’s Art of War, financial war, faith in God… elves have magic, while I have the knowledge and wisdom of the earthlings.

Even if I am caught and get tortured by elves, I still have to shout out!

It was to survive as his son.

Strange things began to happen to me, living as the son of Persis.

For example,

My father, who used to say harsh things to me, is kind to me.

No one has to do this
