This story is fiction. The characters, ideas, and events in the work are unrelated to reality.... more>>

Some games require agreeing to this statement in order to play.

Even if it's not necessary for the game, the game typically begins with a similar disclaimer guiding the player through the precautions.

Although the advantage of a game is the 'immersion' that no other medium can match, starting with such a statement disrupts the immersion from the beginning despite everyone knowing the work is fiction.

There is no mandatory need to include such a disclaimer, so why do it?

It is likely to emphasize a fact that everyone should always remember.

[The purpose of fiction is not to dictate beliefs existing in reality.]

This message is for the developer themselves.

[Nothing in fiction can replace reality.]

This message is for the players who will share the journey of the work's story.

So.

Do you agree?

The man with tattered clothes and an old sword said, "So, I *can* kill."

He did not have any particularly memorable appearance.

He was likely not a well-known person, at least, not to the mercenary he was killing.

The important fact was that the man who had been stabbed by the worn-out sword was now dying in front of him.

"Ugh..."

When the man pulled the sword out of the mercenary, the mercenary's legs gave way, and he fell to his knees. He no longer had the strength to resist.

He wanted to raise his arm to swing his sword, but he didn't have the strength to do so. He gritted his teeth and wanted to cast a spell, but he lacked the focus to do so.

"Why... you... how?"

Thus, the mercenary chose to give up on resisting and opened his mouth to speak.

Why had the man suddenly attacked him? He had only seen him collapse and moved him to a nearby cave.

What kind of person, what kind of thoughts had led him to do this as soon as he woke up?

The mercenary was so curious that he asked the question.

"How fascinating."

The man stroked his chin as he stared at the dying mercenary.

The sight of the man in his worn-out clothes pondering was somewhat terrifying.

Soon, as if he had reached a conclusion, the man broke his silence.

"I never knew I could attack an NPC. Is that how the game is made?"

"...What?"

The mercenary couldn't understand the man's words.

NPC, not knowing an attack would work, game. He couldn't make sense of any of the words the man said.

Having spent his whole life living as a mercenary according to his "setting," he could never understand what the man was saying.

'No, you must respond properly. Properly—'

But he couldn't continue his next words or even think about the meaning of his response, and the mercenary's consciousness began to fade.

A killing driven by nothing but curiosity, with no reason.

That was the first death experienced by NPC Aiden Oliver. <<less

I was transmigrated into a work I liked and finally came back.... more>>

But after, I was dragged into an Academy Romance Novel, which I skipped over after only reading the prologue.

There I found a half-broken possessors who regressed endlessly. <<less

Jin Soram, the top-ranked hunter representing South Korea's Rift Phenomenon Management Headquarters, is stronger than anyone else and lazier than anyone else. As soon as he arrives at the office, he buries himself under a blanket and falls asleep. When he goes out on a mission, he causes accidents and returns to the office, often shirking his duties. ... more>>

"Do you know how it feels to play a game that's already messed up? ...Anyway, the next round will come, so this time, I'm just going to play it recklessly."

In fact, his true identity is someone who has regressed through three lives, trying to save the world from the Great Rift but failing each time. After repeating a life where he couldn't sleep peacefully even for a day, he became completely exhausted before this life even began.

"I know. You worked hard, Jin Soram."

And then there's Han Tae-un, the man who saved Soram and died in all three previous lives. As he did in every life, he comes to Soram's side once again. The Great Rift is approaching soon. It's impossible to resolve it in this life without any preparation. Soram vows to save Tae-un in this life and die himself. At least, he won't let Tae-un save a failure like himself again.

"For now, until then, let's sleep..."

As Soram sluggishly lives his life waiting for that moment, a gradual change occurs in his heart.

'I thought this was a messed-up round... but I want to live a little longer here.' <<less

“No, F-ck!”

[Condition 18 | A perfect idol refrains from any reckless words or actions anywhere.]

[Warning!]

[Upon accumulating 5 warnings, there will be a ‘reset.’]

Failure to comply with the clause as stated by the status window results in endless resets.

School violence, dr-gs, and scandals big and small, ultimately led to an accident that claimed his life, forcing him to return to the past. However, something feels different from the resets experienced thus far…

[There are 2 unchecked update items.]

[One condition has been added to ‘100 Conditions for Becoming the Perfect Idol,’ transforming it into ‘101 Conditions for Becoming the Perfect Idol.’]

In a world where magical abilities are commonplace, a high-school yuri romance transcending spacetime begins!

Dahlia Von Klose who possesses two powers at the same time and the Fifth Returner [5th time regressor] Jurgen Axel Edelred.... more>>

In order to survive one more day, the two desperately needed each other.

Kissing Dahlia’s white legs up to her knees, he felt a distinct satisfaction.

Even if it’s a new presence in her world, yes. There is nothing different from the others. With a remorseful expression she’ll push him away saying don’t do this. She’ll hide the joy of having a higher status person with a dignified, proud face kneel before her, promising that he will grant anything she wants.

Grasping her heel, he swept up her soft calf and grabbed the back of her knee. Then he looked up at her as she trembled like her frightened bird.

Ha!

However, the moment Dahlia’s eyes met his, a chilling sensation of pleasure ran through Jurgen’s back.

Covering her mouth, Dahlia was holding back a burst of laughter, like someone who had seen a gruesome comedy. With her sight full of the kneeling man at her feet, she showed an unhidden scorn.

Unconsciously his grip grew stronger on Dahlia’s leg. Then she flinched and bent forward towards Jurgen. She still hadn’t erased a feeling similar to contempt in her eyes.

“What are you up to? Sir Edeled.”

It was a voice sweet as poison.

Smiling, Jurgen let her legs go, then got up on his knees. Following the dark red eyes that became cold in an instant, Dahlia’s held his stare.

The mask of the noble Jurgen Axel Edelred had cracked. The man’s eyes looked down obliquely and then grew long in a smile as he swept back his flowing bangs.

“Ah… . Did I get caught?” <<less

In the prologue of a game, I possessed the body of an extra villain who became the opportunity for the male leads and heroine to meet.... more>>

The game just simply said, ‘Laura Laurus took advantage of his weakness to demand Yve's love.’

Since it was described as such, when she read it, she vaguely thought that she was a villain who liked the male lead.

‘I’ve never heard of a relationship this deep!’

☄

The silver eyes that always sparkled so brightly seemed to have become dull and sunken today.

“Laura, where have you been?”

“I have some business to run for a moment.”

“You’ve been hanging out with my brother a lot lately.”

“Well, that’s...”

Since it was a story related to the original work, I couldn't tell Yve.

The more I couldn't answer easily, the more Yve's eyes became cloudy.

“Are you going to abandon me?”

“What?”

“I have dedicated my first time to you…”

For a moment, I tried to say that it was the same for me, but I regained my reason.

Laura didn't know why Yve was like this, but she seemed like she needed to calm down first.

“Yves, you seem to be mistaken…”

“Or maybe... are you already sick of me? I admit that I was clumsy because it was my first time.”

A red warning light flashed in her head. It must be a signal to run away quickly because something strange is going on.

But I couldn't move because of the strong arms that wrapped around my waist.

“Give me one more chance. I can do better next time.”

No, I don’t need it, I'm fine! <<less

"Do you remember anything?"
“…No. I don't remember anything. What about you?"
"I don’t remember anything at all."

A faint 30 on the wall. Tinnitus rang in her ears.

"Were you the first to wake up?"
"That seems to be the case. Unless someone is pretending to be asleep."

The man next to her looked away from the people and replied quietly. Then, he was about to say something, but closed his mouth and stared. The clicking sound of the lighter suddenly ceased.

"What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?"

When she asked quizzically, the man finally spoke after a long while.

"It feels like we know each other." <<less

All of the male leads have gone missing.... more>>

She didn't think it had anything to do with her, an extra NPC.

Until she found their faces trapped in her paintings.

If she stays silent, she'll be accused of being a witch for imprisoning them and playing games with them, and she'll be executed.

Doing what she can to save them, she walks into the painting.......

"I never once thought of you as a friend."

"I was...... looking forward to seeing you again."

"I wanted to make you my wife."

"Honey, didn't you miss me?"

As the memories of a past that didn't exist before returned, she became horribly entangled with the male leads.

Why are they all doing this to me?

Just then, a white square window flashed before Pandora's eyes.

Maybe she...... opened something she shouldn't have.

On the server “Altar,” an upper-class survival game was officially launched. Survival was the only logic in the human game of alliance, betrayal, and human-natured games of deceit and treachery. After the smoke of gunpowder ends, only the survivors can speak.... more>>

As soon as he opened his eyes, the amnesiac An Wujiu saw a person at his side killed. While in confusion, a floating green typeface appeared before him.

Variable Name: An Wujiu

Attributes: Male, 20 years old

Game Rounds: 5

Win Rate: 100/100

Danger Rank: SSS

No wonder they were afraid.

The first time he saw An Wujiu, Shen Ti felt curious. The kindness and fragility in those eyes were not fake, so how could he survive in the Altar? It was until he saw the man had a sudden personality change. He recklessly gambled regardless of the cost, casually estranged people, grew further excited on the verge of death, and even calculated against himself to win. Only then did Shen Ti realize that it was his own cognitive bias.

Fortunately, he wasn’t a normal person either. <<less

Bug? Sub character? What the hell are you talking about? Her vision went dark.

When she opened her eyes, she was back to her life nine months ago.

5th grade started again, but Ariel's daily life, for someone who only wanted to graduate, began to change little by little. <<less
