One day when I was working as a low-ranking civil servant in a hopeless imperial palace department, I realized that I had reincarnated in a novel.... more>>

“Oh my god, the villain is about to start a war, right? If a war breaks out, people like me will be the first to die!”

An imminent war as per the original setting.

If I want to live, I must first save the crown prince!

To save the crown prince who dies first in the original story, I leaked the original’s information to catch the villains.

Suddenly, I became the youngest minister.

I didn’t really mean to get ahead, but there’s nothing wrong with that!

Let’s just catch the villain.

* * *

It’s a lot of fun to ab*se the villains, and the taste of power is also very sweet.

However…

“His Highness the Crown Prince has a great sense of responsibility, but since he has nowhere to focus, he may want to run away sometimes.”

The strange new intern is talking nonsense.

No, how did I save the prince!

“What? Run awaaaay?”

With a glint in my eyes, I said grimly.

“If His Highness runs away… I will personally chase him to the end of the continent. I will somehow drag him by the collar, stick tight next to him, and keep an eye on him.”

Hmm?

But intern, why are you shaking? Why are your ears red? <<less

[How could a s*ave know more about money than a master such as I] ... more>>

A quote by the president of Hanbo Group, Jung Tae Soo during the Congressional hearing.

They are called employees, salarymen, but in truth they were s*aves.

I was a s*ave.

But I’ve put everything I’ve had to become a butler. Instead, all I’ve got was an ending befitting of an abandoned s*ave.

And the blessings of the god. <<less

Ellouise, a woman quietly raising her niece on her own, encounters an unexpected stranger while on vacation.... more>>

He’s infamous for falling in love faster than anyone else—

and now this unpredictable man proposes a contract marriage. His goal? To seduce a duchess who only entertains married men. And Ellouise, apparently, is the perfect decoy.

“I’ve always believed a proper proposal must come with a ring.”

Marcus blocked her path and pulled out a small box from beneath the table—a luxurious ebony case wrapped in black velvet. Inside was:

“A 122-carat royal diamond.”

The words that rose to her throat were, “Are you trying to buy me? Is this supposed to be some kind of insult?”

But…

“…it was far too much money to scold him for.”

No—it was far too much diamond.

Had one of her students come to her saying, “Miss, some man offered me money to marry him,” she would have advised them to run the other way without hesitation.

But this wasn’t a classroom.

This was real life.

And real life? That’s a whole different game. <<less

Though it may be a dream weathered, crumpled, fading,... more>>

It’s the era of Transmigration.... more>>

I wanted to possess a body of a rich young lady in a Rofan childcare novel, and live while receiving lots of love.

No. 1 to be avoided!

No. 1 in frustrating the reader!

I possessed someone inside an infinite return novel called: Return Until the World is Saved.

Forget being a young lady from a prominent family, I will soon be ruined because the survival difficulty of the original work is S-Class.

I became an extra. Ailette, the young daughter of a servant in the Count’s manor.

We are poor, but it’s a happy life between a kind brother and a good father.

I’ve got a best friend I’ve never made before because I was always busy.

Even the gods of the Transmigration Management Bureau are openly fond of me.

I’m living a life full of confidence.

On top of that, I accidentally bought the ‘After-Life Insurance’ full package just before my death.

I leveled up with the high-speed growth buff, and diligently destroyed the original plot.

Thanks to plenty of special privileges, I came to give satisfaction for all the frustrated readers of the original work.

“You wiped your face with your dirty hands.”

“…….”

“Don’t be surprised. It’s because I have an obligation to be kind.”

And then, there’s the protagonist who is still nothing more than a handsome push over, Thesilid.

‘Why is he being this crafty with me?’ <<less

I wasn’t reborn with talent or ability, but at least my knowledge from earth allowed me to stay one step ahead in this other world.... more>>

Magic exists here, and new progress was rapidly being made in science while magic stagnated in the name of tradition. Using my earthly knowledge and not bound by the traditional thinking, I was able to do things other wizards couldn’t even imagine.

Still, inadvertently becoming an undercover professor for a mysterious secret society at the renowned Theon academy was never in my to-do list! <<less

“Do you remember, Luize? The moment you interfere with my private life, this marriage is over. You’re the one who accepted that condition.”... more>>

It was about three years of their marriage. One day, when she was tired of her husband, who was constantly cheating on her, her husband told her to bring in a lover.

As he said, she visited the most famous gigolo in the back alley to get him as her lover.

“So, are you going to accept it?

“Yes. Gladly.”

Once removed from his mask, the gigolo has a familiar face.

Why is the Grand Duke here?

* * *

“So, have you thought about it carefully?”

“Yes. As expected, I think it’s right for us to divorce.”

“Even so, it’s only last for a moment. Just wait a moment. I will come and get you back.”

“There’s no need for that.”

“Huh?”

At that moment, the door opened.

“Lady Luize, I came to pick you up.”

Edward whispered in Luize’s ear and looked at Reiad. The moment the two people’s eyes met, Edward curled up the corner of his mouth.

“Take care, Reiad.” <<less

The labyrinth that swallowed humanity. Four choices were given to them.... more>>

Easy Mode, where anyone can survive. Normal Mode, where only those who fight survive. Hard Mode, where only 1% can survive. And the Solo Mode, where only one person survived.

The strongest returnee of humanity, Kang Taesan, was an Easy Mode player.

He heard countless times,

“What if you had chosen the Hard Mode, or even the Normal Mode?”

Regretting his cowardly choice while dying amidst destruction, he gets another chance to choose.

“This time, I won’t make the wrong choice.”

The strongest Easy Mode player has returned. <<less

I am the developer of the reverse harem game “God’s Play,” which is about to be released.... more>>

One day, when I suddenly lost consciousness and woke up, I possessed the villainous princess [Theresa] of the game I made.

I can’t even.

[Let’s start the broadcast.]

What do you mean by a broadcast? This is a setup that isn’t in the game.

A rainbow-haired man in a bright red suit appeared in front of me in the middle of the confusion.

“I’m Ozworld, a channel manager. If you compare it to the world you lived in, it’s like a broadcast PD. However, the target is not humans, but the Constellations.”

Tak!

A quest popped up when the channel manager flicked his finger.

[Quest: See the true ending in hard mode]

*Compensation: End of Broadcast

*Failure: Death

The condition of the true ending is to be connected with one of the four male protagonists.

But Theresa, who I possessed, is the villainess with the worst compatibility with all the male characters and dozens of death routes where she died in their hands!

“I hope you will become a BJ of a big channel.”

Will I be able to safely end the broadcast and run away from this game? <<less

"Eyes filled with pure, unconditional trust. You usually only see that in beasts, don’t you think so, Miss Rian?"... more>>

The name Rian felt unfamiliar. Though she had lived just as many years as Rian as she had as Jiah, the name still felt like it belonged to someone else.

“You must have mistaken me for someone else.”

She brushed it off with a reply she’d given countless times before. Like a machine, she repeated the same line. Jiah had no intention of becoming entangled in his life ever again.

“I never said it was a person.”

“...Pardon?”

When she furrowed her brows slightly, Tristan’s lips curled into a smile right before her eyes. She thought she had walked straight into a wordplay trap.

“I lost the beast I once raised. I thought you might be able to find it.”

She couldn’t tell if he was joking or being serious. Jiah didn’t answer right away this time. She took a moment to choose her words carefully.

“I’ve never raised an animal before.”

She had never raised one, never lost one, and never tried to find one either.

“Let’s find out. I believe someone like you could, Miss Rian.”

The certainty that he would never know the truth wavered slightly. <<less

“Sometimes, I wonder if this is a dream. Because I have never met anyone like you.”... more>>

Jaeil, an A-rank “Backsplash” Esper, lives in a perilous state, unable to find a Guide compatible with him. Due to a past incident, he doesn’t trust people easily and avoids all physical contact, even with Guides.

In such dire conditions, Jaeil, who has little lingering attachment to the world and pushes himself to his limits, one day hears a piece of news. It’s that a new A-rank Backsplash Guide will be coming to the center. However, that guide, Seunghyun, is from District 13, has received no education, and doesn’t even know how to perform Guiding!? <<less

The great warrior who ended the chaos that plagued the world—that is Wi Yeonho, the Radiant Martial Sovereign.... more>>

He was known as a gentleman, a great man, and a chivalrous warrior...

“That guy? He’s a total s*umbag.”

The shocking truth that's too shameful to be let known to the world, behind the so-called greatest chivalrous warrior in history, is finally revealed! <<less

“When you fall from a high place, there is no one to catch, let alone pick you up.”... more>>

Rei understood this best when her family fell from glory straight into the gutter. She understood her value better, when she was chased out of her own house- she was nothing. At the moment she was about to crumble, she looked at her older brother standing by her.

She was not alone. Not all was lost…

In the hopes of rekindling an old connection and start afresh, the path the siblings took led them to a quiet countryside.

A resplendent castle covered in beautiful red roses… so majestic… so sinister…

It also looked like… a lonely abode shrouded in desolation?

And there, she met someone; it seems he was…

… a beast. <<less

Love is like Jenga.... more>>

Even if it looks perfect at first,

gaps begin to form, and eventually, it collapses.

Cha Seon-woo, a promising announcer at TBC

and the only son of a chaebol conglomerate,

had always believed that.

But when Kyu-won, who once claimed to have fallen for him at first sight,

reappears before his eyes as a journalist at TBC,

showering him with an intense yet suspicious courtship,

he finds himself drawn into this precarious game…

"Ha, what exactly is it that you want to do with me?"

"Jenga. Burning hot."

A Brief Excerpt

“I asked if you’ve ever been in love. Have you ever started building something, from design to construction, and completed it?”

“Why is that so important to you?”

Seon-woo turned his back on Kyu-won. He seemed parched, searching for a water bottle. His fingers fumbled several times as he twisted the cap, and even after finally managing to open it and pouring the water down his throat, his thirst remained unsatisfied. He frowned. But when he looked back at Kyu-won, his smile was as smooth as ever, just like when he stood on stage.

“I feel like I’ve begun constructing a building.”

“Ah, I see. That’s wonderful. Congratulations.”

“I love you, Cha Seon-woo. I fell in love at first sight.”

Love at first sight.

Seon-woo, sipping lukewarm water, wrinkled his brow as if in regret. <<less

One day, Won-woo became an awakened guide called a ‘Purifier.’... more>>

He became a being with great power, not only capable of guiding beyond ranks but also able to take away the power of Espers.

As a result, in Won-woo’s world, Espers and ‘Purifier’ were hostile to each other.

An endless war against the Espers ensued.

Won-woo lost all his comrades who fought alongside him and became alone.

Then one day,

Won-woo encountered a thick fog and met a dying version of himself from another world.

The request from his other-world self was “Please live here in my place.”

“I’m glad. Although it’s a life I’ve ruined, you should be able to endure well.”

Accepting this, Won-woo crosses over to that world and becomes another ‘Ji Won-woo’…

*

‘Everyone is alive.’

To his surprise, in this world, all his comrades who had died were still alive.

Won-woo goes to find them and uses his abilities to help, and in the process, he encounters ‘Gye Yoon’, the ruler of the North.

‘It’s because of those eyes. Those identical eyes.’

But strangely, every time he saw him, someone came to mind… <<less

A dirt spoon, Noh Hyeji, whose resentment over not owning a home runs deep.... more>>

But now, she’s a Guide Spoon?!

Apparently, that’s what it means to be an S-Class contact-type Guide.

(She decided to forget the fact that she only scored an F in radiative guiding.)

After six relentless years of saving money while working as the exclusive Guide and secretary of Han Kanghyeon, the strongest S-Class Esper alive…

Ta-da! She’s pregnant!

〈 If Party A (Guide) becomes pregnant due to negligence in contraception, the contract is immediately terminated once Party B (Esper) becomes aware of the pregnancy. 〉

〈 Party B may claim damages from Party A for violation of this clause. 〉

No! My precious apartment!

She finally bought her lifelong dream, a Han River view apartment, with a 20% mortgage, only to face the possibility of it turning to nothing.

She doesn’t want to leave Kanghyeon for another Esper. It’s not that she’s particularly attached to the CEO himself, she just likes his money.

Just when all seems lost, a loophole in the contract shines a ray of hope.

〈 Once Party B becomes aware of the pregnancy 〉

So as long as the CEO doesn’t find out, it’s fine?

“It’s not your baby, CEO.”

“…You had a boyfriend?”

“Yes.”

“……”

Defend the Han River view apartment at all costs!

But why does Hyeji’s desperate struggle to avoid contract termination keep spiraling out of control…? <<less

Due to trauma, the esper Ji Seo-joon refused to have a dedicated guide. He had been receiving low-quality guidings for years due to his aversion to contact with guides and repeatedly low matching rates.... more>>

In front of Seo-joon, who was on the verge of exploding from accumulated fatigue, a guide with a miraculous matching rate appeared.

【98.8%】

The protagonist with an unprecedented figure, Cha Yeon-woo, was still a high school student who hadn't even graduated yet. He was thrown into the field without undergoing training, as if they didn't care if he died.

"Uh, I'm not a kid. I took a year off, so I'm twenty years old... I hope you don't say I'm too young, even if you don't know the other reasons."

Seo-joon couldn't help but feel itchy in his chest at the innocent and dedicated appearance of the rookie guide... <<less

The Gate incident took her entire family away.

She gave up on school and employment.

Hyun Habin, a sad non-awakened who bounced between day jobs.

One day, she picked up a powerful constellation.

[The seal has finally been broken! Together, let’s save the world…!]

“What are you on about? I’m going to have fun.”

[I am a constellation! With me, you can do anything…!]

“Anything? Then can you pay for my Netflix and YouTube subscriptions?”

[…What are those?]

“Geez, constellations are useless.”

[…?]

Anyway, her part-time job life is finally over!

She was planning to visit restaurants she couldn’t afford before and watch dramas she missed.

But the world won’t leave her alone.

“Habin! Are you really not joining our guild?”

The rich unni who keeps following her despite being rejected.

“That masked magician, why do I feel annoyed every time I see him?”

The mysterious world rank #1 who somehow resembles her missing brother.

“Join our guild. I’ll give you twice what they’re (rich unni) offering.”

Even her former classmate who hit domestic rank #1 and lost his social skills.

“No. I’m not joining! I said no!”

She thought rejecting them all would be enough, but…

“Hyun Habin-nim! We’re so sorry! The bank has just been robbed!”

“Whaaaat? Who did it?”

“It’s that infamous Hunter crime organization…”

“Damn it! Those bastards! I just want to watch my dramas!”

…Will Hyun Habin be able to enjoy her retirement life?

While performing my duty as a top agent of the Information Guild, a sword pierced through my chest.... more>>

I definitely thought at that time I died without a hitch…

What? 8 years old?! Back to my hellish nursery days?!!

“Hi, I’m Diana!”

Just then, Diana, the youngest princess of the Duke of Elrad, appeared before me.

In order not to repeat the bitter regrets of my past life, I took care of Diana, and I was going to send this lovely daughter to the Duke of Elrad… but wasn’t she too nice to me?

“Sister! You’re really pretty! My princess! I’ll protect you!”

Then, Diana never wanted to leave me even just for a second,

“Am I an adult that you can’t rely on?”

“I’m sure I’ve warned you that men’s appearance isn’t everything!!”

Of course, the Duke of Elrad and his second son, who were known as indifferent to everyone except their family.

“I told you not to leave my side without my permission.”

Even the first son of the Duke, who’s famous for being cold, was acting strange!

I monopolised Diana’s affection, but why did everyone become obsessed with me? <<less

There, he meets Lee Hajoon, a rookie physical coach of the same age. Though they had been to the World Cup together and had been called up for the national team several times, Hajoon was strangely unmemorable to Mukyeom. Even at City Seoul, he seemed to avoid Mukyeom subtly.

How dare a rookie coach like him discriminate against me, Kim Mukyeom? However, it didn’t take long for Mukyeom to notice Hajoon’s ‘strange vibe’ of avoidance. <<less
