Cross Vish, an ordinary villager, somehow found himself, by a strange twist of fate, joining the hero’s party. With only moderate skill and no special powers to speak of, Cross was, by every measure, a true ordinary man.... more>>

And yet, for reasons even he could not grasp, the heroes accepted him without the slightest doubt, treating him as a true comrade from the depths of their hearts.

The thought of expelling Cross from the party had never once crossed their minds. No matter how loudly outsiders hurled heartless accusations, no matter how fiercely they tried to drive him away, the heroes unwaveringly believed in Cross as one of their own.

Precisely because of that unwavering trust, Cross was constantly plagued by the question: What can someone like me truly do for them? For the painful truth remained — he was, undeniably, useless.

And then, at last... Cross finally understood his role. In that decisive moment — when the Demon King, with his dying breath, unleashed a spell aimed at the heroes. <<less

“What is the meaning of this, Sister Daphne?”... more>>

Daphne is considered the most faithful of the novitiates. She was caught mxstxrbating by Theodore Valentino, a young cardinal who was said to be darling of the gods.

‘What… what can I even say to explain this?’

What could she say that wouldn’t have her branded as a wayward harlot for her lascivious behavior on the temple grounds?

That’s when—

“But you needn’t worry any longer. Let me help you, Sister.”

“What? What do you…”

“I’m fully prepared to offer this body of mine if that’s what it takes to break the devil’s foul curse.”

His large frame leaned forward, casting a shadow over her. With the serene, solemn face of a devout priest, he whispered:

“Let us begin the exorcism.”

His voice slid through the cramped shed like a snake, soft and deliberate.

Until then, Daphne thought the demon’s curse was a problem limited to her.

Reincarnation, the soul cycles on.... more>>

I, who died of illness in solitude, was reborn into modern-day Japan—a world plagued by a curse known as "Shin," monstrous beings that devour humans.

Born into the Byakko family, one of the Twelve Celestial Houses that have been fighting these Shin since the Heian era, I was given the name Byakko Yakko.

Though bewildered at first, I grew up surrounded by my parents' boundless love and affection. Yet, the Shin sought to take the lives of those precious to me.

That was something I could never allow. And I had no intention of becoming their prey, either.

If so, there was only one path for me—to become the strongest!

Through relentless training from the moment I was reborn as a reincarnator, I was eventually recognized as the strongest magician in Japan. Not only that, but I also mastered the lost Shiden Magic, a legendary technique hailed in ancient times as the fastest and strongest.

Before I knew it, I had surpassed even the Five Great Noble Houses that ruled the world, becoming the most powerful magician alive.

And then came the noble ladies of those houses—beautiful, graceful, and persistent—vying to marry me and bear my children.

This is the story of how I became the world's strongest magician. And how I ended up surrounded by noble beauties eager to start a family with me. <<less

He was a man shrouded in countless rumors, such as being a monster who bewitched people, a vicious ugly man, and a madman who celebrated slaughter.

In reality, he looked like a devil who was just terribly bored, an ordinary man who was locked up behind a high castle wall awaiting his death.

However, his infinitely deep black eyes were filled with a freezing hatred.

"Are you scared?"

The man looked down with those eyes and whispered to Freya.

"I'm not treating the woman who will carry my child carelessly."

Larissa, once renowned as the fiercest mercenary captain, had achieved a glorious victory in a war she'd entered as a countess. But her triumph turned to ashes with her husband's betrayal, leading to her unjust death. She awoke to find herself reborn as the young daughter of a hunter. Her peaceful new life, however, was short-lived; to protect her twin brother, she disguised herself as a boy and enlisted in the army.... more>>

***

The recruits, grimy and unwashed after days on the road, already looked as though they'd endured weeks of grueling military life. The sight of them stirred a familiar memory of dust and sweat from a life she’d left behind.

‘Here we go again.’ Though she'd steeled herself for this, actually being there, seemingly treading the same path as her past life, brought a pang of regret.

‘This must be fate. I vowed to protect this family. Let's see where this road leads. I won't run. I won't turn away.’

***

After joining the army, her exceptional skills quickly garnered attention, yet the Duke, the highest military commander, regarded her with open disdain.

“Who are you? What is your purpose here?”

“If you fail… you will be expelled from the army.”

Why the suspicion? If only he knew she was the one who'd saved his life! <<less

Christine was an elite member of a guild who had excellent commissioning skills, but she couldn’t break the curse that caused abnormalities in her body. She suffered her whole life and was only exploited by the guild she worked for.... more>>

She infiltrated the Black Fang Guild, which was said to be full of people who inherited the blood of beasts, to retrieve the jewels that would relieve the pain caused by the curse, but she lost her life when the internal injuries she had suffered went beyond her limit.

But what was happening?

When she opened her eyes, she had returned to a time when she was relatively healthy.

In addition, the pain caused by the curse had surely subsided the moment she touched the gorgeous man who held her when she fell.

‘I might be able to break my curse if I approach that man.’

Christine deliberately approached him to find a clue to lift her curse, and succeeded in seducing him.

“I said I wouldn't hurt you, but you're not cooperating.”

“Ah…”

However… She had no idea that the man she spent the night with was the hidden power of the Black Fang Guild.

***

Christine regretted bringing up the spy conversation.

She knew how cruel the Black Fang Guild was to those who tried to harness their power.

As expected, Edgar’s eyes shone coldly when she mentioned the spy.

“If I find a spy… I’ll kill them.”

“…”

But for some reason, he looked at her frightened lips and added something he wouldn’t normally say.

“If the spy is pretty, I might let it go.” <<less

In a quaint and ornate shop window, a doll with long limbs sits on a red velvet bench. His neat, deep blue military uniform gives him an air of restraint, and his glass-like eyes gaze out the window, exuding nobility and loneliness.... more>>

He silently watches the bustling crowd passing by, his face fixed in an expression of aloofness.

Then night falls, and a pair of hands wrapped in bandages pick him up-

"My dear young master, shall we continue last night's little game today?"

Luo Yiran, who just logged into the game: ...

-Get lost! You freak!

-Who wants to play dress-up with you!

The magician, wrapped in bandages, dislikes the day because during the day, his precious young master loses his soul, and he is left to guard the empty shell through the long daylight hours.

-Ah, damn the sun.

-Perhaps he should prepare a grand magic trick to plunge the world into eternal darkness, so that his young master will always be by his side.

The magician looks at the doll dressed in a white lace shirt, his thoughts darkening.

The magician covers the little doll's eyes: I have a gift for you.

Luo Yiran, somewhat expectant: What is it?

The magician removes his hands, his smoky voice filled with a pleased laugh: Eternal night.

Luo Yiran: ...?

“Your Grace, why on earth did you come to me?”

“I do not know. My feet simply moved on their own.”

He brought her limited-edition desserts, escorted her to the opera, and even wiped her lips with trembling hands and an icy gaze!

No matter how hard she tried to break this blessing — no, curse — Eurik’s ‘kindness’ only intensified.

“Edith.”

“Yes?”

“Don’t wear a mantilla. It only hides your beautiful golden hair.”

Dear God, please lift this curse.

And if possible, I’d like You to punish that damn fairy too.
