There exist in this world a set of six daggers that carry a terrible curse: the ability to inflict a death beyond time. Those under the daggers' curse shall reincarnate without end, never able to know happiness and always drawn to die once more by the dagger. This is the story of "Raine" and "Marie", two souls bound by the daggers' curse to kill one another, over and over again.... more>>

France, 1243. Lapis Lazuli Castle is the name of an insignificant relay fort nestled away in a forest east of Carcassonne. Its ruler, Count Geoffroy, and his only daughter, Marie, are both believed to be insane. The root cause of their shared madness is the mysterious disappearance of Geoffroy's wife three years ago, which caused Geoffroy to grow detached from humanity and cast Marie into a deep depression. After three years of wandering in a state halfway to nonexistence, Marie works up the nerve to ask her chief bodyguard, Sir Raine, to investigate her mother's death, confiding that on the night of her mother's disappearance, she had witnessed something impossible. However, her investigation only prompts a new tragedy.

The French-German border, 1916. As World War I rages on, Raine and Marie's latest reincarnations live the life of a sub-lieutenant in the French army and a medic with the Red Cross, respectively. The two lovers are reunited at the site of the Battle of Verdun, but no sooner have they met then Raine finds himself faced with a barrage of impossible circumstances. An enemy soldier's head suddenly vanishes, right before his eyes. One of his subordinates reports the same thing happening to an ally. Four more headless bodies vanish from a flooded bunker in the minute he looks away. These baffling events are a prelude to the return of their old tragedy.

Northern Hokkaido, 1989. Kimiyo, age eighteen, is already dying, an inoperable tumor in her hypothalamus leaving her with less than a year to live. Refusing to despair in the face of her tragic circumstances, she spends her remaining days with her friends at "The Library at the End of the World", a private library so called due to its isolated nature. One day, a man named Kito approaches her out of the blue, regaling her with a story about a set of cursed daggers, knights in the 13th century, and the two of them being cursed, fated lovers. Naturally, Kimiyo is intensely skeptical, but the events that come next don't require her to believe in them.

Arriving at the scene of these three tragedies is Snowy, an enigmatic figure of indeterminate gender who claims to be "a detective charged with managing the world's chaos". <<less

I want to grow old.... more>>

We would live in a small and narrow wooden house. The wooden house would have a few holes here and there, and a locust tree would slowly grow through the cracks over the years.

A shadow would cover the window frame, and mothballs and moss would sprout in the night.

I would wear a gaudy outer robe, curl my black hair into waves, and make my way down to the public kitchens to make his meals.

When the oil began the sizzle, I would begin by scattering the chopped onion slices into the pot.

The passersby would ask: whose house made such fragrant dishes?

Of course, it would be our house.

“Don’t you even want to live?”... more>>

Richard asked in an angry tone. For some reason, I felt like I was getting scolded, so I snapped back at him.

“Will I live just because I want to live?”

It will be a lie if I say that I don’t want to live. I wanted to live for as long as I can. There’s no person in the world who doesn’t have an attachment to life. But that doesn’t mean it would work the way I wanted it to.

And now, he wanted to get me a cure, Rosiere Blossoms. He was going to go and pick some when doing so was as difficult as picking the stars in the sky, so I couldn’t quite make sense why he was doing this.

Surely, like the original Diana, I should have responded by begging him on my knees to get me the cure to prolong my life. However, I didn’t want to beg to that extent.

“But we all know that we can’t obtain that flower, Rosiere Blossoms.”

“Then are you going to give up without even trying?”

“Surely, yes…?”

“Why are you saying that without a care?”

“I…”

“I only see you occasionally, Diana, but whenever we see each other, you’re acting like this.”

Richard said it between gritted teeth. Obviously angry, he stared at me with a burning gaze. I immediately held my hand to my chest without thinking.

“Whether you like it or not, I’ll still get the cure for you.”

“Richard, why?”

I finally asked the question that was in my heart. Why Richard? For what reason? But my question put a strain on Richard’s face.

“Because I don’t want you to die.” <<less

Here, inside this martial arts novel, there is a true teacher who teaches the arrogant male lead and awakens him through death.... more>>

Handsome, good-natured, righteous, strong, and…

Anyway, there was one big flaw in the male lead’s damn fine teacher. It was his foolish only daughter who was filled with greed. A tenacious villainess extra, who always comes back to haunt the male lead in every way, but cannot be abandoned because she is his teacher’s daughter.

Throughout reading the novel, I cursed at that daughter. Saying that if it was me, I wouldn’t live like that.
‘But that didn’t mean that I wanted to be her!’

What was worse, Father has already died, and my reputation is the worst.

Inevitably, I ran away, but… I died. However, when I opened my eyes, Father was alive!?
‘If so, in this life, I will definitely save Father!’

However…
“To think they’re aiming at my granddaughter!? I’ll kill them all!”

Why do I see Grandfather, who doesn’t even appear many times throughout the novel, so often like this?

“Marriage? No. Yeonie said that she would live by my side for the rest of her life.”
Even Father, somehow became weird.

Moreover,
“Why do you keep avoiding me? Is this also my mistake?”
Isn’t the main character suddenly becoming obsessed with me?

“Originally, I was destined to die. Until you came here.”
I saved the time-limited bastard, but isn’t it that no good deed goes unpunished?

“At least when I’m in front of you… I don’t think I’m tr*sh.”
The villain who blew off my neck is suddenly trying to repent.

Is it really okay if it’s like this? <<less

More than a decade ago, in a conspiracy to overthrow the the leader of the Dutch underworld organization “The Red Room” (Chi Yu), his then 12-year-old illegitimate daughter Xuanyuan Ningxi, was secretly trafficked to a horrible and bloody killer training-base- “Rebirth Island” (Wangsheng Island)... more>>

On this isolated hell of an island, she met a man who changed her life – Xuan Siye who was 8 years her senior and is an instructor on the island. He has excellent ability but a violent temperament. However he only has a soft spot for her- treating her with special preference. Finally, when she was 16 years old, Xuan Siye forcibly already occupied her for a killing job.

Two years later, in order to break away from the control of the island base, the 18-year-old Ningxi made use of Xuan Siye to destroy it. She pierced his chest with a blade having the desperate, sad and indignant Xuan Siye fall into the deep sea.

After that, Ningxi left the Rebirth Island with her training partners Yuan Xu, Teng Jun and several others. They returned to the Netherlands to set up the “Shadow hall” (Ying Tang), to revive the power of the Xuanyuan’s family

Unexpectedly, four years later, “The Red Room” repeatedly received attacs from a secret organization from Asia, with the same modus as that of Xuan Siye therefore making it a battle of love and hate, a contest of blood and fire, and a subversion of schemes and conspiracies. Since then, her heroic picture of redemption and destruction started to unfold. <<less

“It’s sh*t among shit. First, the genre is bad. At an age like this, a fantasy novel is unlikely to be successful.”
In the year 2006, Spring. 6th-grade elementary schooler Shimada Chika was fed up with her mother who kept preparing food for her brother, Takashi, who was run over by a truck last year. Chika was able to stay patient with everything else, but she was annoyed from the bottom of her heart with the new hobby that her mother started.... more>>

Fumie operated the PC awkwardly, and wrote a light novel using the plot that Takashi left behind. It was a fantasy novel about Takashi being reincarnated in a different world, and used the knowledge of the present world to make weapons and stood against the demon lord.

Chika, who wanted her to stop writing, consulted the former driver who hit her brother with a truck, Katayama., but Katayama was fascinated by the novel that Fumie wrote, and proposed a certain plan to Chika—.

In some pointless and hollow era, however, it was an intense age. In the chaotic sea of the internet, Love, Sin, and Desire came together, and an “Isekai” raised its birthing cry. <<less

“I am pregnant.”... more>>

My sister is the female lead of this novel and I am just an ordinary little sister.

"It's Sonnet's child."

Not the male lead's child, but the sub-male lead's.

"You'll understand, right?”

A month before the wedding, my fiancé has a child with my older sister.

“Sonnet is very sorry for you.”

With her lips trembling, my sister asked, "But we'll still get along just like before, right?"

Of course not.

There were more than ten men that my sister took away from me. So, I chose to marry the most tr*shy sub-male lead. As expected. Thank you for taking the tr*sh, I'm really grateful.

“Of course, sister. Congratulations.”

Go to hell.

***

My sister took away the tr*shy sub-male lead, so I decided to have the male lead.

“Your Majesty, I have three months left in my life.”

This is the only way to keep my property from being stolen by my sister.

“This is my wish before I die. Please marry me...”

Then he replied with an unreadable expression, "Can I?"

***

After some time, I heard that my sister faked her pregnancy.

“Nothing happened between me and Siever. Really."

My ex-fiancé, Sonnet, came up to me.

"Give me one chance. It's all a misunderstanding."

Well, I don't need you. <<less

"Please have a happy marriage with me for just six months."... more>>

"What good does that have for me?

“Of course we’ll give you the Reno family's estates and fortune.”

“...Let’s say you give it all to me. You said you’ll divorce me in half a year. If that’s so, what will you do afterwards?”

“...There’s something I’ve been thinking about doing. I won’t be able to use the money anyway.”

Clea always lied. This body will soon die. It’ll barely last half a year.

After being in a satisfying marriage, Clea Reno wanted to close her eyes for the final time in a quiet place.

When I was stabbed to death, I was summoned before the Demon King and was given a six-month time limit as a villainess.

“Cough-“

My body uses up one energy when taking a step, three health when talking, 300 of my health after running for ten seconds, and I throw up blood when a third of my energy is spent.

“Oh my, she’s doing that again for attention.”

“It’s surprising that she carries paint wherever she goes.”

“Well, His Excellency Detroit did reject her coldly.”

My reputation was the worst.

The Demon King said he’ll save my body if I get married happily, but the condition is mortifying.

I have to get married to the man I’ve had an unrequited crush on, Archduke of Detroit.

I said I’ll do anything in order to get married, but I don’t know what a “happy marriage” is...

Will I be able to survive? <<less

As rumoured, the Fourth Prince, who had seemed frail and meek when he was berated during their first meeting, had a rather picky and eccentric personality.

“There is only one thing I want. Make a place for me to be by your side.”

It was a reunion after 6 years, and a marriage proposal.

“If I fulfil your wishes, what will you give me?”

“I’ll give you my everything.”

A knight who lost her family to an enemy spy, was praised as a war hero.

A half prince who inherited the blood of an enemy country, was ignored as a shame of the royal family.

The couple’s marriage caused a stir throughout the Kingdom.

‘There is no need for love between you and me.’

Reasonable distance.

Moderate affection.

A relationship where you know each other but nothing in detail.

“Adora, what’s really important is that I’m the only one who should know.”

It was like showing a beautifully wrapped surface.

The important part was cleverly hidden.

It was so pretty and so alluring that anyone could be tempted.

The man who reunited after six years was definitely different. <<less
