A genius schemer, creating an emperor!... more>>

“Only when your brother is happy can you be happy.”

She committed all kinds of evil deeds to make him Emperor. However, Artezia’s devotion was repaid with betrayal. It was the Grand Duke Cedric, a righteous enemy, that gave her a hand of salvation at the threshold of death.

“Devise a plan.”
“…”
“I can’t think of anyone but you who can reverse this situation. Marquess Rosan.”
“…”
“Lend me your strength.”

There is no plan that can reverse the already declining power and save the fallen empire. However, there is a method. To turn back time before everything went wrong.

With tears of blood she sacrificed her body to an ancient magic. This time, she will not fall.

Artezia, who returned to the age of 18 before death, resolved to become a villainess for the Grand Duke Cedric.

“Please give me your hand in marriage. I’ll make you emperor.”

In exchange for kneeling to the devil, the devil shall dirty her hands for you. <<less

The Duke’s daughter, Lelouche, received a revelation from God.... more>>

“You’ll die in 100 days.”

There were rumors that her fiancé, the crown prince, had found another woman and was about to annul their engagement.

…Moreover, it seemed that no matter what she did, Lelouche couldn’t escape her death. However, the circumstances and the method of her death could be changed.

After being told that, Lelouche offered a bet to God.

“If I can show you a beautiful death, I want you to reward me.”

“Alright. In your next life, I will grant your wishes.”

…Well, looks like I got my hands full—thought Lelouche.

She couldn’t leave that thieving cat as it was. She also had to do something about her withdrawn brother. She had to prepare something to support her parents.

She had a lot of things to do…!

In the end, she shall regret nothing…!

Thus, a life where she made a bet to a God had begun. <<less

[Yandere + Love Triangle + Second Playthrough + Battle of Wits + Eerie + Lovecraftian + Death Rewind] ... more>>

This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game.

The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions.

However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game.

Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw!

To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards.

For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure.

Worried about characters losing affection points? No need.

With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back.

It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers.

However...

Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game.

His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes.

Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls."

Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes...

The type who will kill you if they can't have you...

Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left.

"I really just want to survive..."

In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes. <<less

Jian Shu was sent by his family to the remote Yucheng to serve a "god" who has been worshipped for thousands of years.... more>>

It was a sham.

The "god" was a bloodthirsty evil spirit, not gentle and kind.

The large ancient mansion was dark and cold, and Jian Shu was the only living person there.

He didn't know that he was sleeping with an evil spirit that had been starving for a thousand years, but he brought offerings every day and worshipped him with fear. If he was afraid, he would stay in the ancestral hall and talk to the "god" in a low voice.

The boy's troubles and joys woke up the sleeping "god".

One day, he fell asleep curled up on a futon.

When he woke up, a clear hickey appeared above his collarbone.

Gradually, something changed inside the ancient mansion that didn't see the light of day.

It started out as a light to welcome him back.

An extra blanket on his body as he fell asleep.

A touch with a chilly air as he walked through the hallway.

Later, hearing the young man crying and praying in the ancestral hall, the invisible "god" in the ancient house finally appeared from the darkness.

"Come here." He stretched out a pale hand, helplessly and dotingly. <<less

As the grandmaster of demonic cultivation, Wei Wuxian roamed the world, hated by millions for committing acts of necromancy. Overthrown by the powerful clans he had attempted to subjugate, Wei Wuxian is supposedly killed by his shidi in order to save the cultivation world. ... more>>

Restored to life in the body of Mo Xuanyu, the local cut-sleeve lunatic, in order to exact revenge on his abusive relatives, Wei Wuxian quickly finds himself spiralling back into his old life when he’s taken away by the cold-hearted, stern, and ultimately quite boring Lan Wangji – who might be harbouring warmer feelings than contempt. Perhaps of the…romantic kind?

But despite his new beginning, Wei Wuxian begins to unravel a decade and a half long mystery that is set to undo the very fabric of the cultivation world as they know it.

Kim Dokja does not consider himself the protagonist of his own life. Befitting the name his parents gave him, he is a solitary person whose sole hobby is reading web novels. For over a decade, he has lived vicariously through Yu Junghyeok, the main character of the web novel Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse (TWSA). ... more>>

Through Junghyeok, Dokja has experienced secondhand the trials of repeatedly regressing in time, in search of an end to life-threatening “scenarios” that force people to act out narratives for the amusement of god-like “Constellations.”

After reading 3,149 chapters—long after all other readers lost interest—Dokja finally resigns himself to the story ending. However, he receives an enigmatic message from the author, stating that the story will soon be monetized, before his surroundings suddenly go dark.

He swiftly realizes that fiction has become reality and he is now living through TWSA. Although he is the singular omniscient reader of the events yet to come, his success in the scenarios is not guaranteed—but perhaps his advantage will empower him to step into the protagonist role that never suited him before. <<less

In his previous life, Qiao Xuan had many lovers at once, and one day, he was finally caught red-handed. Once he died, he transmigrated into a bird in a cultivation world. He swore to start anew and focus on attaining a human form. ... more>>

But as it turned out, after he worked arduously to cultivate a human form, when he was undergoing his tribulation, heavenly lightning struck him into ash. All that was left was a trace of his spirit. His master said that his fickle behavior in his previous life had tainted his spiritual root in this life, and the only way for him to achieve human form was to undergo seven lives of love tribulations. For the sake of becoming human, Qiao Xuan could only be reborn and undergo his tribulations.

In these seven lives, he was an emperor’s male pet, a devil lord’s furnace, a sword master’s cultivation partner, a demon king’s ugly s*ave…

But no matter how infatuated he was, no matter how much sincere affection he expended without regret, in the end, he never had a peaceful death.

Just when he finally finished his seventh life and returned to the cultivation world, successfully passing his tribulation and attaining a human form, he found that something wasn’t right…

In private, the calm, aloof emperor spent his tender affection on a puppet. That puppet looked exactly like him when he was a male pet in his first life…

The cold, savage devil lord had searched the three realms for a thousand years, exhausting both the heavens and the underworld, in order to find a method to gather the soul of his lover…

The sword cultivator who killed his wife in order to prove his dedication to the Dao was faced with the most beautiful woman in the cultivation world, who had come to confess her love. Yet he publicly announced that his late wife from the mortal world was the one and only love of his life…

The demon king with overwhelming strength had lived on an icy peak in the wasteland for hundreds of years. It was said that this was all for the sake of the ugly little s*ave he had lived with there in the past, and later abandoned…

All of his lovers from his love tribulations in his previous lives were here, and they all wanted to get back together with him!

Qiao Xuan: …I’m sorry to bother you, but you’ve got the wrong person.

Qiao Xuan couldn’t put up with his exes’ desperate pursuit any longer. He could only beg his unapproachable master for help. His master’s cultivation was boundless, his heart was clean of desire, and he was uninterested in the affairs of the world. No matter how you looked at him, he seemed like someone Qiao Xuan could depend on. Most importantly, his master had a detached temperament.

Qiao Xuan: “Master, can you help me?”

Master: “Yes.”

Afterwards, Qiao Xuan sat in his master’s embrace. What happened to being detached? It was all a lie. <<less

“Until the day humanity falls.”... more>>

In the year 2020, Earth’s magnetic poles disappeared and humankind was nearly wiped out by cosmic radiation. Within the span of a hundred years, living creatures began to mutate and devour each other while the remaining humans, numbering in the tens of thousands, struggled bitterly in their man-made bases.

In the Abyss, home to the mutated xenogenics, there lived a sentient little mushroom. Because it had been nourished by the blood and flesh of the deceased human An Ze, not only did it take on a similar-looking human form, but a similar name as well: An Zhe.

An Zhe is determined to go to the human base to search for his spore, which had been harvested by humans. Once there, however, he faces the omnipresent risk of discovery and certain death as he tries to keep his non-human nature hidden from the Judges, whose responsibility is to inspect for and eliminate xenogenics like himself. And of all the Judges, Colonel Lu Feng is the most perceptive and merciless—as soon as he determines that someone is a xenogenic, he will execute that person on the spot.

But An Zhe’s mutation goes undetected by Lu Feng’s eyes, and so a tale of humans and xenogenics unfolds…

I ended up entering a contract marriage with the man I had been secretly in love with. On the very day I was given a terminal diagnosis.

I thought it was for the best. Because someone as insignificant as me would at least get to be his wife for a short while.

I resolved to live quietly for a year and then leave without a trace.

As promised, I lived quietly in the estate.

"I never thought of you as my mother in the first place. So don’t get any hopes." Said his adopted son.

The children left behind at the estate were ones carrying deep scars.

I never intended to become a mother to them, either. After all, I was someone who would leave soon. But...

Xie Shuci Transmigrated into an Unnamed Minor Villain in the Book... more>>

In the novel, on the path of growth of Protagonist Shou, he only managed to step on him before being chopped off by his knife.

Xie Shuci admonished himself, "Let's cherish life and stay away from the protagonist Shou!"

So the next day, he left that troubled place.

*

On the road, Xie Shuci found a badly injured young boy. Carrying a pocket full of miraculous medicines, he casually fed one to the boy.

However, the medicine, although effective, also had side effects.

When the boy woke up, not only did he lose his cultivation, but he also became deaf, mute, and blind.

Xie Shuci, "..."

So, there was another little companion beside him.

------

After transmigrating into the book, Xie Shuci had been living a decent life.

Despite having a little companion, the little companion barely had any presence.

The little companion couldn't speak or see, and Xie Shuci never avoided him while bathing or changing clothes.

Sometimes, he even performed a dance in a blissful manner while being naked in front of him.

This kind of life continued for several months.

Until one day someone told him that the little brat beside him was originally named Xiao Xun.

That's it, the protagonist Shou who chopped him up with a knife—Xiao Xun!

Xie Shuci, "..."

Wah-, what a joke.

That night, while everyone was asleep, Xie Shuci packed his bags and prepared to run away.

What? He has no conscience?

This was the protagonist Shou, who had severe psychological issues and an unpredictable personality! If Xie Shuci made him unhappy, his life would be forfeit! Anyway, whoever wanted to take responsibility could take it!

But just as Xie Shuci sneaked to the door, his body was trapped in place by an invisible force.

He stiffly turned his head and saw the little companion, who usually seemed weak and afraid to sleep alone, sitting by the bed. With a slight curl of his finger, Xie Shuci involuntarily walked step by step toward him.

"Xie Shuci, leaving me alone, where do you think you're going?"

The little companion leaned against the bed railing, his face pale, and his gaze sinister.

Sinister gaze...
Yes, his gaze was sinister.

This bastard, he wasn't blind at all!

Xiao Mo accidentally travelled into a book and became the protagonist’s inner demon.... more>>

The system actively introduced: “You need to accompany Chu Jinglan as he grow, and then be killed by him at the right time to prove his Dao. After completing the task, you can get a chance to be reborn and survive in the world of cultivation with a new identity. Isn’t it a good deal!”

Unexpectedly, Xiao Mo closed his eyes and lay down after listening: “Got it, won’t do it, he’ll die if he wants to.”

System:? ? ?

Where did the rebellious host come from? It’s different from what was agreed!

Xiao Mo felt that he was very unlucky. Not only was he forced to travel through time, but he also had to be the inner demon of someone he didn’t like and live with him day and night.

That’s right, Xiao Mo didn’t like Chu Jinglan’s character design.

Because in the original book, Chu Jinglan could have taken the script of Long Aotian, a genius who was abolished and then reborn, stepping on mountains and rivers, and sweeping the world with a sword. However, for the sake of a fickle hearthrob shou, he died without body left.

Thinking it was a career-oriented article, but unexpectedly getting splashed with dog blood, Xiao Mo decisively expressed his disdain. He wanted to be passive, indifferent, and have nothing to do with whatever Chu Jinglan did.

He watched coldly as the youth went from being a proud son of heaven to a cripple, watched coldly as his engagement get annulled and humiliated, watched coldly as he was betrayed and abandoned by his own family, watched coldly —— he couldn’t watch anymore!

“Chu Jinglan, can you tolerate this? Fight back. If you can’t do it, give me your body, I’ll do it!”

Chu Jinglan, who was also fed up with him, wiped off the blood. Looking at the inner demon that was more anxious than him, his expression was complicated and unpredictable: “…I need the inner demon to help me?”

Xiao Mo: Who wants to help you?

But it was this inner demon who “didn’t care” about the life and death of the protagonist, who accompanied Chu Jinglan to rebuild his cultivation, accompanied him ascended to the peak, and accompanied him through the most difficult moments in his life.

Then when he was at the highest, the inner demon died in his arms.

Xiao Mo lay in Chu Jinglan’s arms and vomited blood, thinking that he would stay far away from him after his rebirth.

After his was reborn, before he could hide, Chu Jinglan, who had become an immortal lord, suddenly appeared in front of him.

“Xiao Mo,” Chu Xianzun’s eyes were calm but there’s hint of madness within, “Where do you want to leave me this time?”

Ryuuzen Yuki is going to kill someone.... more>>

Specifically, the three corrupt figures in the television industry who mu*dered his childhood friend. The need for revenge burns deep in Yuki’s soul. He is only able to keep sane by clinging to his three self-imposed rules for revenge:

No matter what happens, act alone.

Do not involve anyone other than your targets.

If you fail, admit your crimes without complaint.

The stage for Yuki’s revenge will be Kakuriyo Island, a small tidal island south of Kagoshima Prefecture whose population was wiped out long ago in the bizarre mass-mu*der incident known as “The Beast of Kakuriyo Island case”. Though officially solved, the Beast of Kakuriyo Island is still the subject of many unsolved mysteries, not the least of which is the sheer, inhuman brutality of the crimes.

A television production crew comes to Kakuriyo Island to film a true crime special in which Mikumo Echika, an up and coming singer-songwriter and the descendant of the island’s former head priestess, will visit her family’s former home and discuss the incident that claimed her birthright. Yuki, having infiltrated the production as an AD, plans to trap them all and kill all three of his targets on the island with his own two hands.

But his plans are derailed when his first target is slain – by something else. Burning with rage that one of the men who killed Naoko will never suffer for his crimes, Yuki vows to confront both the killer and the remaining victims.

But his new enemy isn’t a mere human. The Beast of Kakuriyo Island is very real, and if Yuki seeks to achieve his revenge, he must learn what it is, how it operates… and how he can work around it and still manage to get away with mu*der.
