A bizarre planet. An endless wait, and a desperate struggle for survival.

Arisa, a general-purpose autonomous android, is equipped with a paranormal detection AI.... more>>

By combining image recognition, voice recognition, natural language processing, and other modalities, she can detect the probability that a target is a paranormal entity.

She has cameras even on her back, ultra-low-light night vision with a light amplification rate of one million times, echolocation via ultrasonic waves, olfactory devices, and other observational equipment—leaving no blind spots.

And above all—she knows no fear.

Developed under the leadership of Professor Arisu Shirakawa, Arisa seemed like the perfect tool for investigating paranormal phenomena.

As an android, perhaps she could expose the true nature of such entities.

Perhaps she could uncover the truth behind apparitions whose existence can’t be statistically verified beyond “almost certainly nonexistent.”

Just as robots are used for missions in extreme environments, humans could remain in safety while still conducting investigations.

A mysterious abandoned village hidden deep in the mountains.

A train that appears after the last service ends.

A woman whose face alone can tear married couples apart.

A derelict building that endlessly replays scenes from the past.

A visitor who rings the doorbell every night...

As Arisa continues her investigations, she is forced to come to a single, undeniable realization:

Paranormal entities are everywhere. <<less

“Ah… uh… kuh… urk.”... more>>

“You… uh!”

“This… damn… bit…”

Through my blood-red vision, I see the blurry figure of a woman. She had dark blonde hair that seemed to emit its own light and wore a pure white dress.

“Now then, please work hard from now on. Hero number 163417413.”

She says this while waving her hand casually. I tried to open my mouth to retort, but I was wrong.

I couldn’t even breathe properly, let alone speak.

I’m dying.

So this is what dying feels like.

I felt it deep in my bones with my whole body.

I,Park Jeong-yong Age 24. Rest here.

Consciousness became increasingly sticky.

Falling. Being pulled in.

Darkness.

When Ji He first transmigrated, she thought she was playing the role of a business tycoon.... more>>

She worked hard to make money, dreaming of counting cash until her hands cramped.

Then, she suddenly realized it was actually an apocalypse survival script.

She wanted to refuse.

But what choice did she have?

Following the principle that living shamelessly is better than dying, Ji He did her best to survive.

She worked during the day, dug tunnels at night, and even ventured into dungeons whenever she had time.

Operating on the rule of scavenging as much as possible—until she physically couldn't—Ji He stuffed everything she could into her space.

By the time she came to her senses…

She had turned the apocalypse survival game into a business management one. <<less

Yuan Yuxue, of the first generation of war robots, has excellent combat capability, but a huge defect due to program errors, which required him to be urgently destroyed.... more>>

Only on the way to destruction, there was an explosion, and he was lost.

——Through the parallel world, Yuan Yuxue, who was selected into the terror escape game, felt a little familiar with the task issued by the system.

Is this his new assignment?

This time, the situation of copies happened frequently, and the team of senior people encountered an unexpected danger of the collapse of the copy world. Countless ghosts were released, and they were on the verge of mass extinction.

When they saw the weak and injured newcomer “straying into” the monster tide, they stepped forward in panic. Before they could recall, they saw silver light reflected in his eyes.

He blocked the enemy with a knife, and the gods and Buddhas were far away.

Yuan Yuxue’s knife was covered with blood, and there was a lot of blood left by the monster. When he came back, he closed his eyes slightly, and the blood beads coagulated on his eyelashes fell down trembling with a faint sound.

“It’s all right.”

When the name Yuan Yuxue became famous among the players, people analyzed it according to his mission world: he was the best newcomer ever, with a high initial data threshold, good at cold weapons, powerful and compassionate.

A player saw his profile and joked: “His talent direction… can’t it be face value?”

The safety zone was silent, looked at the player’s eyes and saw that he was no good.

Fool, you will be black shark tonight.

——Everyone knows that Yuan Yuxue is the only one who struggles for survival. So the monster in the abyss also put out his hand covetously and silently encircled him.

“……”

This is his moon. <<less

High school senior Yogiri Takatou was on a school field trip when he woke up to a dragon assaulting his sightseeing bus, with the only ones still on the bus being him and his female classmate, the panicking Tomochika Dannoura. Apparently the rest of his classmates had been given special powers by Sion, a woman who introduced herself as Sage, and escaped from the dragon, leaving those that hadn’t received any special powers behind as dragon bait.

And so Yogiri was thrown into a parallel universe full of danger, with no idea of what just happened. Likewise, Sion had no way of knowing just what kind of being she had summoned to her world. <<less

If I hadn’t known beforehand that “Honkai Impact 3” was a Yuri-themed game, I’d definitely think that the Valkyries all have a liking for me.

However, with the arrival of Elysia on board, my single life has come to an end. With a girlfriend resembling a pink fairy, she flaunts herself to my subordinates. Strangely, I feel a chill down my spine, and when I look around, I notice what is happening.

Ivy got married.... more>>

To a man she had never met before.

Their union was an accident—Ivy had casually filled out a spouse preference survey to appease the investigators, even listing impossibly strict and unrealistic requirements—

Height measured to the exact centimeter, weight to the gram, specific hair length and color, eye color, bust, waist, hip measurements, an outrageously high salary, an inhumanly stable personality, muscle mass, BMI…

And…

Who could have guessed that someone would perfectly match all of it?

Who could have guessed that she would also perfectly match the preferences he had listed?

As an unprecedented match, their story was sensationalized in the news. Both sets of parents hit it off, and before Ivy even had a chance to meet him, she found herself engaged in a whirlwind.

Due to his role as a high-ranking officer in a classified project, he was away on a special mission.

Ivy, who had been avoiding reality, didn’t even look at his photo. Her only memory of him was from their drunken wedding night—a pair of strong yet restrained hands.

After the wedding, Ivy continued her studies, passed the physical fitness tests, and officially joined an exploration team.

Considering her future prospects and personal feelings, she decided to end this hasty marriage and sent her mysterious husband a divorce agreement.

He didn’t respond.

At the training camp.

The instructor in charge of the exploration team’s special training was tall, quiet, and exactly Ivy’s type.

Encouraged by her friends, Ivy mustered up the courage to ask for his contact information after training ended.

He paused for a moment but still gave her his number.

As Ivy entered it into her device, she was struck by a strange sense of familiarity. “This seems so familiar… I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before.”

“Yeah,” he said in a deep voice. “Last week, you sent me a divorce agreement.”
