Lowly shepherd. Illegitimate daughter. Disgraceful duchess.... more>>

Although she had married her beloved Duke Izar, Freesia lived as though she was trapped at the bottom of a bleak, hapless abyss.

Her family took complete advantage of her, and the people of the duchy hated her for being a stain on the household’s honor.

And then there was her husband, Izar.

Even after she had suffered a miscarriage, he remained cold.

“To be born to parents like us—happiness would forever elude that child.”

At Freesia’s funeral, he had shed not a single tear.

But Freesia wished for one last thing.

Please, cry for me.

Shed even a single tear.

Dearly, I hope that your feelings might change.

Even if it means living for just one more year, that’s fine.

Once that time has passed, then.

Come and cry at my funeral.

*

For the first time, Freesia dared to glare at this man.

The dreadful document in her hand fell to the ground.

“How could you do something so cruel to me, to treat me worse than an animal!”

She was mistaken.

She thought, finally, this man held affection for her. That he trusted her.

That, perhaps… it could even be love.

But it was nothing like that. He deceived her.

“You ruined my life.”

There were only five months left before her demise. <<less

The day my family was ruined, I realized the truth: ... more>>

I had reincarnated into the reverse-harem novel, ‘A Night of Entwined Serpents’, a story I’d read over and over in my previous life.

Determined to escape my fate as the Crown Prince’s mistress, destined to meet a miserable end, I fled straight to a foreign monastery.

One day, I was fortunate enough to secure a decent life as a high level priestess, skilled at healing. But then, one day, Lionel—the female protagonist’s older brother—stormed into the monastery.

His entire body was drenched in blood.

My three years of peace in the monastery meant nothing; I was dragged back to the capital, now assigned as the personal healer for the protagonist, Vivian.

Thus began my perilous daily life, as the three male protagonists of the original story began to appear one by one at the mansion.

The only thing keeping me going day by day was Lionel, who always seemed to show up at the right moment to rescue me from trouble.

“If you marry me, I’m sure you’ll abandon any thought of returning to the monastery.”

The man, once the embodiment of c*astity in the novel, suddenly proposes…?

To make matters worse, the contract is filled with suspicious clauses:

Celebrating every little anniversary, actively meddling in each other’s personal lives…

This love, this marriage, this novel.

It feels cozy, but is it really okay? <<less

I was a detective, and one day, I died in an accident. When I opened my eyes again, I had become a newborn baby abandoned in the mountains.... more>>

"There's a strange-looking wild animal."

I was actually taken by a bandit group! I thought I’d be sold somewhere and end up facing all sorts of hardships. But what is this? These grim-looking men are treating me like I'm precious, taking care of me with so much attention.

"From now on, call me Dad."

Even the scary bandit leader claimed to be my dad!?

'Criminals are just criminals! I’ll escape from here no matter what!'

Don’t underestimate me! I promised myself I wouldn’t fall for their kindness, but...

"Helping the people and living for them, that is our path."

Something felt off, and it turns out, they weren’t just bandits—they were righteous thieves!?

“Your Highness!”

And to top it off, the true identity of the bandit leader... was none other than the former 'Crown Prince,' famous for his unwavering character?

I realized it too late! This is the world of the novel I had read in my past life!

*

"You saved my life, so I'll repay you someday."

I even became friends with the unpredictable heir of a pirate!

"I want to be with you. Even though we are enemies and come from different backgrounds."

I even formed a connection with the young master of the noble family, who is the protagonist of the original story and the enemy of the bandits.

Can I… survive here? <<less

Cornell, a lop-eared rabbit beastman and graduate of the capital’s academy, finds himself repeatedly hindered by his commoner status while submitting resumes.... more>>

By a stroke of luck, he lands a position as a tutor for the Rophenix Ducal House. Rumor has it they were seeking a patient tutor—commoner or not—to handle a young master with a bad temper and wild behavior.

But were the rumors false?

“I’m Lycaon Rophenix. Pleased to meet you.”

“Teacher, let’s go for a walk tomorrow after lunch.”

“Teacher, I don’t understand this part of the empire’s history. Could you explain it one more time?”

Contrary to his braced expectations, Cornell meets Lycaon, a bright and intelligent young wolf beastman, at the ducal estate.

A spacious and safe ducal residence, a comfortable lifestyle, kind people, and above all, a very generous salary.

Cornell hoped he could keep this satisfying job for a long time.

But there was one thing he overlooked.

“Can’t you transform just once?”

“I’m just curious. There aren’t any rabbit beastmen around here. Or small animals. Is it not okay?”

“Ha. So cute…”

As time passed and the number of paychecks matched the months spent at the ducal estate, the young master’s coming-of-age drew near.

And the longer time went on, the more the young wolf’s attention began to drift to peculiar places… <<less

Layla Cecilia despised Arcangelo Ursei. But never once did she wish for his death.... more>>

“Arcangelo Ursei! Snap out of it!”

And so, Layla gave herself to Arcangelo.

The poison afflicting him could only be neutralized through physical intimacy between beastmen.

However, that act turned Layla’s life upside down.

“Investigator Cecilia, you must maintain contact until an antidote is developed,” the bureau chief instructed.

But that wasn’t all. The chief secretly assigned her another mission:

“Monitor Arcangelo Ursei.”

An enhanced poison that hasn’t been fully neutralized. A fugitive poison-maker.

Now teamed up, Layla must keep an eye on the suspiciously acting Arcangelo.

“Investigator Cecilia, you need human warmth, and I need your body,” he said.

“If it makes you uncomfortable, think of it this way:”

“I’m using you, and you’re using me.”

The closer they work together, the closer Arcangelo gets to her.

Will Layla be able to resolve this case successfully? <<less

She had lived alone in the Mage Tower for nearly 300 years.... more>>

Her hobby was watching the view outside her window, and her job was exterminating monsters.

She thought she would spend her entire life as a hero and the Master of the Mage Tower.

But then, overnight, her body suddenly became younger.

And to make matters worse, people started mistaking her for her own daughter!

What? How could I be my own daughter?

How could a child suddenly appear out of nowhere?

I haven’t even married anyone!

“I am the father of this child.”

And amidst all this chaos, that Crown Prince had the audacity to claim he was the father.

It was clear—he must have been holding a grudge because she had rejected his marriage proposal.

Now, she had to protect her own reputation while also dealing with the life of a child.

There wasn’t a single peaceful day in her life anymore.

But something felt strange.

That man… he seemed surprisingly sincere.

Even the Imperial Family began to genuinely care for her.

Why? Why me?

For the first time in her life, she found herself living among people instead of fighting monsters,

in the story of an old and weary hero’s struggles to adapt to an ordinary life. <<less

I awakened—but my job was [Lucky Totem] . Apparently, just being near me increases enhancement success rates. With this ability, I couldn’t even participate in dungeon raids, so I decided to make some money instead. I posted an offer on the Hunter board:... more>>

[+5% Enhancement Success Rate. (Payment in advance.)]

Before I knew it, I became a hot spot for enhancement, with top-rankers throwing bundles of cash at me. I had no combat skills and no desire to die in a dungeon, so I planned to live quietly by helping others with enhancements.

But then, the rankers noticed something—my luck stat increased as I leveled up.

And just like that, they grabbed me by the collar and dragged me everywhere. The rankers’ dungeon survival game had turned into a [Princess Maker] simulator.

“Lion, what’s your EXP at?”

“37.3%.”

“Lion, what about now?”

“…Hold on. It’s exactly 50% now.”

…

“Lion—”

“72.5%.”

“Not bad.”

“Right?! So, can we call it a day after this dungeon—”

“No. I’ve got two more prepared. We’re grinding three more levels today. Wouldn’t want to tire out a newbie like you.”

‘Uh… the sun’s about to rise. And are they seriously ignoring the goblins shivering in fear?’

At some point, the goblins stopped attacking and just stared at me with pity. Rumors must have spread that “a ranker obsessed with EXP appears in dungeons at night.”

I had a lot I wanted to say—like “Save me, bro.”—but I kept my mouth shut.

Just like the rumors said “glacial water flows in his veins instead of blood,” the merciless #1 ranker had become a complete EXP-obsessed maniac when it came to me.

They told me “Once you hit Lv.50, the suffering ends—for now.”

So I ran dungeons like my life depended on it.

But I didn’t realize what “for now” really meant.

After months of non-stop grinding, I finally reached Lv.49, 99.9% EXP—and then, the system notification appeared.

[Secondary Class Change Quest]

Objective: Catch 10 white foxes by throwing branches at them.

Reward: Unlocked!

Bonus: Upon changing to , you will acquire the active skill:

[The Wrong Option Just Means You Didn’t Pay Enough]

Skill Effect (Lv.1): Slightly increases the target’s Luck, improving the odds of getting desired bonus stats. (Effect scales with the user’s level.)

The rankers’ eyes sparkled as they stared at me.

A sudden sense of dread shot through my mind.

‘If they find out… I’m screwed.’

At this point, money didn’t matter anymore. The moment I completed my second job change, my work-life balance would be gone forever. <<less

For 14 years, I silently cleared gates as an S-Class Esper of the Center—without ever receiving proper guiding.... more>>

But during an A-Class gate, an unexpected gate anomaly occurred.

“Don’t do this because of me. Please.”

“…I’m sorry.”

To make things worse, I started showing signs of going berserk. And in the end, I chose to save Woo Shin—a C-Class Guide—and die in his place.

I thought I had finally earned true rest…

…Until I opened my eyes in the body of a C-Class Esper.

“If you’re a C-Class Esper, then stay in your place like one, Yang Hana.”

“Are you imitating Senior Si-hyun just to provoke me?”

“…What?”

To me, Si-hyun’s life is as vivid as if it happened just yesterday. But to Kang Woo-shin, Si-hyun exists only as a figure from six years ago.

If he ever finds out that I’m the real Seong Si-hyun... What kind of face will he make?

[ Q: What’s the first thing you should do when you’re possessing a pushover who dies after being used by villains in a child-rearing story? ] ... more>>

[ A: Explosion. ]

Bang!

It was good that I quickly exploded the villain family and ran away carrying the original female lead, but.

“…Is this my niece?”

“Waaah!”

The relationship between uncle and niece, which should have been heartbreaking, is now strained.

“How fortunate it is that Ms. Tekins is here……”

“I’m sorry for misunderstanding all this time.”

“I hope you’ll stay here. For a long, long time.”

Why do the people here like me so much?

“I wike Unni! Unni is mine!”

“No, she’s my fiancée.”

Why are the Grand Duke and the original female lead fighting over me? Is this the effect of the explosion? (Genre change: Physics) Well, I thought it was just a temporary effect, but.

“Sister, you have to stay by my side forever. We’re family, aren’t we?”

The runaway heroine is very skilled at escaping.... more>>

In the blink of an eye,I, Seraphina Viviana, was suddenly accused as the culprit.

Darn it, under these circumstances, I'll personally catch the heroine!

Attempting to chase her using spatial magic, however,

Unfortunately, the magic in this world is math-based, and not just any math-

y(t)=a0+∞∑n=1 (an cos nωt+bn sin nωt)
a0=1/T ∫T0 y(t)dt
an=2/T ∫T0 y(t)cos nωtdt
bn=2T ∫T0 y(t)sin nωtdt

It was based on 'real math'!

Amidst the chaos, the male lead who came to find the runaway heroine.

For now, in pursuit of the common goal of finding the heroine, I decided to join forces with them...

"Sera, try running away for once."

Huh? It seems like I'm also in a situation where I'm being chased.

Is there still a spot left for a runaway heroine? I feel like I should do that too. <<less

“I am Lady Glasster, treat me accordingly!”... more>>

Aiden Fitzroy, the illegitimate child of the former emperor bearing the scars of war, and Anje Glasster, forced into an unwanted marriage,

“Now, aren’t you Mrs Fitzroy? Moreover, I’m not spending time with you because I like it.”

A farm surrounded by nature, a quaint rural village, and everything that doesn’t suit her taste. Among them, the worst is Aiden, who treats her like a pest.

“Just wait, I’ll deceive you and escape from this farm!”

But at some point, both his attitude and her feelings begin to change.

****

“So what you’re saying is that you didn’t think I was beautiful before, but you do now?”

“Ah……No, even before.”

With an embarrassed voice, Aiden mumbled like he had a thorn in his throat, but eventually, he managed to finish his sentence; though he had to squeeze his words out.

“Even before, I thought you were beautiful.”

“………Sir, your ears are red.”

Everyone thought this marriage marked the downfall of Princess Glasster, but was that really true? Was she really falling? <<less

I seem to have killed the original male protagonist.... more>>

A man lay on the ground, bleeding profusely, while I held a dagger in my hand.

“What is this body? Where is this place, and who is this man?”

Before I could grasp the situation I was in.

“Your Excellency? Is something wrong? I’m coming in!”

I was going to be framed as a mu*derer.

A voice, mysterious in nature, echoed in my head, like it was reciting words from a book.

[There was only one way for ‘Julia Reitz’ to escape the Duke of Bolev’s residence.]

I barely fled the mu*der scene whilst following the narration, but the voice continued speaking words I could not comprehend.

[What Julia Reitz sought for could only be fulfilled by Amon Spencer.]

Amon Spencer, the knight pursuing me.

Hold onto him.

***

“Do you mean to pursue the criminal as a team?”

[Julia spoke of the real cause behind Duke Bolev’s death.]

“Yes, I have information.”

We decided to form a temporary alliance for mutual benefit.

That was obviously it…

[Behind Amon’s firm expression, there was a hidden emotion sweet enough to melt anyone down.]

[It was love.]

Their contractual relationship, which she expected to end once the real perpetrator was identified, was changing. <<less

Before hanging, she became a villainess in a devastated novel where her life was supposed to end after being poisoned.
However, what happened was that she couldn’t die of poison.
What’s even more surprising was that she could tell the taste of the poison!... more>>

“I can tell the taste of poison.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“What kind of use is that?”

Oh my. This evil woman’s past was too formidable to survive with tricks.
So she took out the secret card.

“Your boss will be poisoned.”

That’s right, it’s something about the villain that I know!

“I can be your poison dectector.”

So I thought I could survive well as an employee of a general store in front of the villain…
My boss, who I thought was just an extra in the black valley, was ranked number one?
It was an out-dated story that was popular before…

“…It’s not cliche, indeed.”

I unexpectedly woke up in a novel’s world that ended with the protagonist’s death.... more>>

However, while desperately trying to survive after unexpectedly landing in a monster’s den, I ended up using the relic meant for the protagonist’s awakening.

In an attempt to somehow restore the story to its original course, I forcibly tried to awaken him, but…

“Do you know how to use your ability?”

“Huh?”

Lee Yuha tilted his head, puzzled.

Huh? Could it be…

Christa went back in time five years ago.

Calliope Verdi’s life was perfect.... more>>

“You’re engaged to the Duke. It happened four months ago, one month after you fell asleep.”... more>>

After drinking at the ball and falling asleep, Sophia Hilden wakes up five months later and hears something unexpected.

People say that on the night of the ball, she confessed her love to the Duke and even drank poison in his place.

But Sophia doesn’t believe it.

“I don’t believe it. I’m not saying you lied, but it doesn’t make sense. I, at least, know that much.”

The Duke spoke like he was singing and held onto Sophia.

His kiss was like sweet poison. <<less
