"—Wait, I'm the Demon Lord!? But I just came back from the dungeon!?"... more>>

The protagonist, Athos, had challenged the supposedly impossible-to-clear S-Rank dungeon Niflheim. During the attempt, he ended up separated from his party at the lowest level after throwing himself in harm’s way to protect his companion, the Saintess.

With the rest of the party severely weakened and facing certain annihilation, Athos urged them to escape, choosing to stay behind alone.

"We will definitely come back to save you…! Please—no matter what, don’t die!!!"

"—Yeah, I’ll be waiting!!!"

Clinging to the hope in the Saintess’ parting words, Athos vowed to survive no matter what until help arrived, and faced the monster horde all on his own...

“—So yeah, that’s what happened. It’s been about three years since then.…Isn’t it about time for help to arrive already?”

This was supposed to be a simple story: a boy left behind in a dungeon with no backup, managing to escape on his own and returning to town for the first time in three years.

...Or so he thought.

When Athos finally made it back, not only had everyone assumed he was dead, but to make matters worse, he was now being mistaken for the legendary Demon Lord, a long-forgotten threat to humanity—and had ended up on a wanted list!?

To top it all off, his former comrades now chased him down with disturbingly deranged looks in their eyes.

What the hell is going on here!?

"I will find you... no matter what."

"I’ll definitely track you down…!"

"...I will... find you..."

"All I want is to go back to town in peace, okay!?"

Will Athos manage to safely return to town, restore his yandere-tinted heroines to their former selves, and reclaim his peaceful life?

Purification, conquest, eternity, annihilation—and above all, return. With all their conflicting intentions piling up, the one at the center of it all—Athos—remained utterly unaware of just how many unnecessary hardships were still headed his way... <<less

Desire for Validation × Deranged Female Listeners♡... more>>

The global gender ratio stood at dozens of women for every one man. Among all countries, Japan had become the most extreme example of this "boy-scarcity” phenomenon. In response to the boy-scarcity and the rise of s*x crimes committed by women, nations around the world had naturally developed special laws to protect men.

Men were thoroughly protected, and it had become the norm for women to handle dangerous professions like dungeon explorer. In this world, one of the rare men, Yuu Kishido, found himself unable to suppress his overwhelming desire for validation—and decided to become a streamer.

This was the story of a validation-obsessed man who streamed his dungeon attacks and his daily life, and who fully satisfied his desires by being adored by his (deranged) female viewers. <<less

Would a Male Knight Be Forced into a “Kukkoro” in a c*astity-Reversed World?... more>>

When he woke up, the protagonist found himself reincarnated as Ray Kukkoro, a nobleman in a c*astity-reversed world.

He had always admired the image of the female knight: pure, strong, dignified, and beautiful. So, he aspired to become a male knight (not a female knight).

Naturally, in a world where the gender ratio was heavily skewed, such a man was extremely attractive. The women around Ray found themselves caught in a daily struggle between reason and instinct…

A man whose soul was traded among the gods without his consent was forced to go to another world.... more>>

He was told that he could have his wish fulfilled to make up for taking him there without his consent, and he asked for “chīto nouryoku o kure (give me a cheat ability / チート能力をくれ)”.

However, what he was given was not a cheat powerful, game-breaking ability, but a moderately high position and a moderately high ability.

“Who asked ‘chii to nōryoku o kure (Give me status and abilities / 地位と能力をくれ)’? I said ‘chīto nōryoku o kure (Give me a cheat ability / チート能力をくれ)’!”

"Let's help humans learn more about us!! That's what this livestream is for!!"... more>>

The Demon Lord Olden was a weak demon lord—so weak, in fact, that it was faster to find his rank from the bottom rather than from the top.

One day, while holed up in the demon realm, Olden was suddenly ordered by the Great Demon Lord to head to a certain dungeon in Japan.

The assigned location, the Tokyo Dungeon, had crumbling walls and ceilings, empty treasure chests, tr*sh scattered everywhere, and monsters with absolutely no motivation whatsoever. It was a bottom-tier dungeon in every sense of the word.

Olden found himself completely at a loss in this unexpected situation.

But then one day, a so-called “annoying-type” explorer tried to do something outrageous to one of Olden’s subordinates—a (beautiful) monster girl—and got completely wrecked in retaliation.

And apparently, that entire scene had been livestreamed…

The footage went viral online, and after a popular streamer showed up to do an impromptu interview, Olden began to take an interest in livestreaming himself.

This is the story of a demon lord whose behind-the-scenes dungeon livestream ended up gaining far more popularity than he ever expected. <<less

Tiana, a timid girl whose magical power continues to decrease year by year, suffered a life of ab*se due to her being an incompetent, powerless saint.

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

Wizards.... more>>

They are transcendents who use magic to fight, protect, and save. However, in the world of wizards, talent speaks for itself. The long history of magic has picked up only talented clans, and now the only wizards are aristocrats. That is common sense here in Manalil.

At the Beralt Magic Academy, one of Manalil’s leading educational institutions, the eggs of excellent wizards are gathering again this year.

Yes, except for one person.

A simple boy who gets a lot of looks. A country bumpkin who has nothing to do with the glittering world. There was the only commoner at the academy.

“I want to be a mage.”

The story of a peasant who wants to be a mage and fulfil his dream is about to begin. <<less

In that city, a peculiar urban legend circulated.... more>>

"If one found themselves alone in a room at midnight, a ghost would slip through the window and stealthily enter. Once marked by its blade, there would be no escape, and life would quickly meet its end."

Only she and her master know that this urban legend hold some truth.

Egret, a girl who was taken in by the assassination guild at a tender age, before she could even comprehend the world around her. She was raised as an instrument of assassination and utilized accordingly. Due to her exceptional aptitude for assassination, she was highly valued, but it also subjected her to rigorous training. Emotionally detached and carefully honed, she grew up to be an elite assassination tool, earning the moniker "Ghost."

On that day, her routine was the same as always—to carry out her assigned tasks.

However, the job she received was different from the usual. It involved a target with a hidden secret. The mark was the eldest son of a duke—a man possessing military power on par with that of a "hero" within the immensely influential duke family.

As she embarks on the mission to target an opponent of overwhelming strength, unexpected encounters and unforeseen events await her.

Mana Doll.

A humanoid weapon crafted in the ancient era of the magical civilization. Designed to resemble humans, capable of speech and thought, this tool took the form of a girl. The encounter with such a mana doll would transport her beyond the confines of her "ordinary" existence.

Through a series of varied incidents and encounters, their bond would deepen.

This is the story of a girl raised as a mere instrument who crosses paths with a girl created as a mana doll, ultimately embarking on her journey as a human. <<less

Determined to make the best of it, Harold adopts a personal motto: “Live within my means.” His plan? A quiet, unremarkable life as a rural commoner.

The problem? The goddess who took a liking to him insists on saddling him with “gifts” like the Favor of the Goddess Forte, Alchemist, Dimensional Storage, and Magic Eye (Appraisal). Oh, and his innate Green Hand skill? Turns out that’s a legendary ability in this world.

Before he knows it, Harold is shipped off to the Royal Academy in the capital—a place for nobles and other skilled youths—under compulsory enrollment. All he wants is a peaceful school life with his new friends… but special powers have a way of attracting special problems.

From winning over fairies that haven’t shown themselves in decades, to accidentally solving a royal family’s age-old dilemma, Harold keeps standing out in all the wrong ways.

Can he ever achieve the humble, peaceful life he longs for—or will the world keep pulling him center stage? <<less

Two years have passed since dungeons appeared in the world.... more>>

After causing chaos and upheaval, the world had finally begun to stabilize.

Kaede Obata, age thirty-two, made a bold decision—to walk away from his stable job and debut as a dungeon explorer.

As a hardcore otaku, Kaede had always dreamed of diving into a dungeon. But at the same time, he had no desire to die, nor did he believe he could achieve the kind of heroic feats seen in stories.

That was precisely why he waited.

He waited for the day when information had been gathered, when the risks had been assessed, and when he could explore safely with confidence.

And now, that day had come.

With his resignation finalized, Kaede took his first steps as an explorer—joined by two friends who, by sheer coincidence, had the exact same idea.

He had no grand ambitions of becoming a millionaire. No aspirations of becoming a hero.

A little thrill here and there, days off when he felt like it. Work when the mood struck, play when he felt like it.

His goal? A stress-free, carefree lifestyle.

He paid no mind to how others saw him—just a laid-back thirty-something dungeon explorer living life at his own pace.

(Note: Of course, just because that’s how he sees himself… doesn’t mean everyone else agrees.) <<less

The boss (the goddess) didn't know about the final boss' struggles... more>>

After (possibly) dying from overwork, the protagonist, Jiro Hasegawa, found himself reincarnated as a dungeon monster in another world. Through sheer effort and continuous evolution, he eventually rose to the position of the final boss, entrusted with guarding the deepest part of the dungeon.

However, the place he ended up in was Earth.

Taking on a human form, Jiro found that time had barely progressed on Earth. And so, he decided to enjoy the continuation of his previous life.

Anyway, time to enjoy my retirement life!~ <<less
