On the way to the youngest sibling’s academy entrance ceremony, a carriage accident kills all the older siblings. What is the appropriate action for the lone surviving sibling to take?... more>>

1. Cry their eyes out.

2. Build a grave.

The correct answer is…

‘3. Bring them back as zombies.’

* * *

“To put it simply, your current state is… kind of like a zombie.”

It was, quite literally, a bombshell.

“…A zombie?”

“Yeah.”

“You mean, like, Grrraaaghh, biting people and… spreading infection when you bite someone?”

“They’re more zombie-like than actual zombies.”

At my gentle explanation, Yullia was struck speechless. Understandable, really.

It was already ridiculous enough that she’d died and come back to life after the carriage overturned. But now she was being told she was a zombie?

No—not even a zombie, but something zombie-like?

“I didn’t have a choice. It would’ve been better if I could’ve asked for your consent, but you were all already dead. I’m sorry for turning you into zombies without permission.”

“That’s not even the problem here!”

* * *

I had no other choice. I had the power to bring them back.

The problem was, necromancers were enemies of the entire continent—and if discovered, everyone connected to one would be sentenced to death.

“As long as no one finds out, it’ll be fine!”

…Or so I thought.

“You have the ability to sense necromancy, don’t you?”

Says the crown prince, who asks for help in hunting necromancers.

“You keep avoiding me. Like you’re hiding something.”

Says the too-smooth saint who keeps getting closer and closer to me.

“How did you do it? I definitely killed them all.”

Says a mysterious, suspicious man who has no business being this unsettling.

Can I please just live quietly like a mouse?! <<less

Kata, once the subject of widespread public expectation, was now more famous as a fallen genius.... more>>

"If you're even a minute late, the entire rookie class will be summoned because of you."

From the very first day, life in the Knights' Order, where he had clearly been marked, was nothing but difficult.

"You're no hero, or anything of the sort anymore."

Xenon, who had once been a close friend, seemed to offer nothing but harsh words every time they met.

"Don't delude yourself into thinking people will be kind to you. Know your place."

"Yeah, thanks for your concern!"

"......."

Of course, Kata was far too spirited to be discouraged by such things. <<less

She fell in love with an immature young master. She, a commoner, with a young master from an aristocratic family that she shouldn’t have coveted recklessly.... more>>

Due to him being from an outstanding family, Yulia was killed at the hands of assassins sent by the marquis family, but it’s strange. She clearly met her death but her life didn’t end.

"Thank you for saving me." The beginning was always the same. While being chased by assassins, she was rescued by the one called the Wolf of the Empire. Then, she died. Again and again.

After experiencing death eight times, Yulia finally realized. The fact that she wouldn’t be able to enjoy the rest provided by death as long as she didn’t put an end to the outstanding family who ordered to kill her.

As a result, in her ninth life, Yulia decided to become a maid at the royal palace. In order to obtain the highest position one could rise to as a commoner.

"What is the reason you wish to become a royal maid?"

"To cut off the head of Marjoram with the hands of the royal family."

Will this life’s revenge be successful? <<less

"What kind of person was your husband?"... more>>

A genius pianist with strikingly handsome looks, a mysterious third-generation chaebol, an artist with sharp yet delicate expressiveness.

People called him by many names.

But to me, he was nothing more than an escape—a refuge from the stifling clutches of my oppressive family.

His life was so scandal-free that rumors once circulated he might actually be impotent.

One year after our sensational marriage.

"After the concert, can we talk for a moment? It won’t take long."

I already knew what he was going to say.

He wanted a divorce.

Thanks to a slip-up by his manager, I found out he’d booked a plane ticket and even bought a diamond ring.

If either party wanted it, the marriage could be dissolved immediately without any questions.

It was one of the terms of our contract marriage.

I had no intention of going against it.

The only thing that crossed my mind was how early it was, earlier than I’d expected.

And that night, on his way home, my husband died.

Was it fortunate or unfortunate?

Everything he had became mine.

Naturally, the public turned its attention back to his death.

"They say the wife killed him for the inheritance."

As I lived each day under the weight of suspicion,

a young man approached me, suggesting I write a book about him.

And then, my dead husband came knocking at the front door.

Completely transformed into someone else.

It wasn’t until my husband died that love truly began. <<less

Karina never expected to find herself inside the pages of a novel—especially as a villainess destined for ruin.... more>>

But that won’t keep her down!

Taking charge of her new life as an S-class guide, she strikes a risky bargain with Duke Robert Apharantes: her blood to heal his powerful but tormented son, Hedonia, in exchange for security and a mansion on a private island to call her own.

Determined not to overstep her precarious role, Karina sets out to help Hedonia, whose painful awakening could either make or break his future. Yet, things quickly spiral beyond her control when Hedonia offers her more than just his desire for revenge.

Thrust into a delicate balance between trust, survival, and loyalty, Karina must navigate the intrigues of noble houses, dangerous dungeons filled with menacing creatures, and the expectations placed upon her as Hedonia’s “substitute.”

Will Karina remain merely a substitute in someone else’s story—or will she rewrite her fate, claiming a destiny far more comforting than the one written for her? <<less

I was South Korea's top assassin, but I was betrayed by the only person I trusted and died. In my next life, I hoped to trust no one and live a life unrelated to assassination.... more>>

"Wa?!"

Suddenly, I was reincarnated as a baby princess in the Joseon era?!

"Turn her over quickly!"
"Babies often die just from being laid on their stomachs. We don't even need to intervene."

And right from birth, I faced assassination threats as the "abandoned princess"!

"I don't want to be assassinated again this time!"

I must somehow gain strength and survive in the palace! I only tried desperately to stay alive.

"Seeing how clever you've grown, I believe you could become a great..."
"?"
"...general."

Even the merciless king, who killed his siblings to ascend the throne, thought so.

"Is it true that all you want is to live like a decent human being, not gold bars or power?"

My eldest brother, who is rigid and only recites Confucian teachings.

"Choose. Who do you prefer, me or our elder brother?"

My second brother, a psycho who played with me like a toy. All of them...

"Live. I will surely show you the world you dream of."
"Even if I can't continue writing?"
"It's fine."
"Even if I remain an unnamed abandoned royal?"
"Yes."

They all wish for me to live well. As if they were my real family.

'I decided never to trust anyone again.'

...My heart keeps fluttering.

But soon, I realized.
This place is actually the world of a novel I read in my previous life.

"Huh? I die when I turn ten?"

I am destined to die soon as an extra!
Can I survive in this bloodthirsty palace? <<less

Her mother was the only missing daughter of the Grand Duke of the Empire.... more>>

But when the Duke found her, she had already passed away.
All that remained was me, who had been left unattended for 14 years.

“I’m sorry, sir. Cornelia Crichton is dead.”

“Hey, what the hell is this? Cornelia is dead?”

I thought it would be revenge for her to disappear quietly without revealing my identity.

But before I could leave, I was killed.

It was right after she found out that it was her uncle who manipulated her mother into dying in agony.

‘This kid is a huge hindrance to my control of this mansion. Just die quietly.’

***

I wish I had died like that, but for some reason, I went back to when I was nine when my mother was still alive.

So that’s why I…

“There is someone in this mansion who stole letters from Mom.”

The 2nd round of her life.

She was determined to protect her mother and rescue her poor grandfather. Then-

“Baby, I bought a gold mine for you. All the gold from there will be used for you.”

Archduke Crichton, eager to buy anything,

“Baby, if the crown prince behaves rudely, tell me.”

“You’re my little sister from now on.”

A friendly uncle came with a cousin. That was not enough

I just wanted to protect my mother and live happily, but even the unplanned mercenary king came to me saying he would repay the favor? <<less
