Steven is a total newbie who just got isekai’d into the world of Terra.... more>>

But before all this, he spent years surviving in the blocky world of Minecraft, living the slow and cautious life of a seasoned Minecrafter.

Thanks to that history, he almost got forcefully ejected by Terra’s world will the moment he arrived—

“Don’t just toss me back to the world where even the sun is a square!”

In order to survive in this world—where at least the girls have pointy faces instead of square ones—Steven has no choice but to dive into one chaotic event after another, all to raise something called his "World Acknowledgement Point" and earn his stay.

This includes, but is not limited to:

Fighting infected; Fighting the Church of the Deep; Fighting eldritch horrors from the sea; And, of course…

Fending off suspiciously grateful girls with very ungrateful intentions.

. . . . . . . . .

Gladiia: “Steven, why do you always get yourself involved in those troublesome land-dweller affairs? I find it… intriguing.”

Steven: “Hey, it's about the experience, you know?”

Gladiia: “Then why are you always the one who ends up solving everything?”

Steven: “Well, I’m already here, right? May as well go all in…” <<less

Countless terrifying heretical techniques flourished in his hands, unleashing overwhelming evil energy!

Looking back, the righteous cultivators had all retreated far away in fear:

“Evil Ancestor! Don’t come any closer!”

***

In a world where the path to immortality is paved with talent, powerful sects, and countless aspiring cultivators, Su Xun is decidedly not one of the chosen few.

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.”

“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!”

While others graduate into unemployment, Chen Jinyue graduates into bankruptcy. After waking up one morning, she inherits a debt of ten million. Her younger brother absconds with all the cash and flees abroad. To evade high-interest loan sharks, her grandfather hands her a batch of fake antiques and spreads the word far and wide… ... more>>

But not all the fake antiques are truly fake. By a stroke of luck, they unlock the door to a spacetime exchange for her. A downtrodden imperial prince from the freezing, starving borderlands steps through that door into her factory. Seeing her unsold cotton coats, his eyes light up, and he immediately hauls in several chests of genuine antiques: "I’ll take them all!"

The chief of a primitive tribe spots her advanced production tools and reverently offers a thousand-year-old wild ginseng with thick, gnarled roots. A second-generation rich kid from a future world stumbles upon her factory, his face full of shock. He gifts her countless advanced self-defense gadgets and then carts off the fresh fruits and vegetables she’d just picked from the fields.

…

Back and forth it goes, and far from shutting down, her bankrupt little factory sees a flood of orders. Chen Jinyue has no choice but to expand—to the provincial capital, then the national capital, and eventually nationwide. As for snobbish relatives and bizarre suitors? They can get lost as far as possible!

With her business booming and romantic prospects blossoming, the haughty yet endearing big shot who’s been protecting her all along can’t sit still anymore. "Miss Chen," he says, "I have a project about the rest of our lives I’d like to discuss with you." <<less

People with the ability to hunt mutants, Mansaengjong.... more>>

One day, they suddenly found themselves isolated in Naraka.

Seowoon was once called a highest-level and known for his excellent combat capabilities, but he suddenly lost all of those abilities after being isolated in Naraka. Instead, he gained the ability to detect the emergence of mutants through the “Messenger”.

To escape Naraka, a by-product of mutants called wu ore was needed. However, Seowoon would die even if he just brushed against a mutant, let alone hunting them.

Upon learning this fact, Cahaya made a proposal to him:

“Cha Seowoon, from now on, be my mutant searcher?”

With Cahaya’s help, Seowoon was able to travel back and forth to Seoul, but he found it more and more difficult.

‘Why did I push you away……?’

He just wanted to deny the feelings of attraction that he felt towards Cahaya. <<less

At the very moment when a path home finally opened for her:

“Young lady, would you like to enlist in the army?”

She got caught by the protagonist.

A person whose number of victims was so vast that administrative records were needed to keep track.

The very source of the despairing ending, the one who even used their lover as a plaything for the division.

And, on top of that, completely devoid of remorse, a perfect moral-less figure.

“Esper Tae Ijae, do you perhaps like me?”

“Oh, do I have to like you for you to do it? Then sure, I like you.”

“Are you joking?”

“No. I’m annoyingly serious. So tell me, What do I need to do to become your exclusive Esper?”

A battle of spear and shield! Or is it spear against spear? Will this conquest succeed?

Excerpt from the Book:

“…Um, by the way.”

“What?”

“Why do you keep speaking informally? I’m a year older than you, Esper Tae Ijae.”

“Yeah, I’m a year younger than you. Nice to meet you?”

“Pardon…?”

“I said nice to meet you. Weren’t we supposed to greet each other again?”

“No. I was asking why you’re speaking informally.”

“You do it too.”

“Pardon?”

“Do you usually not understand things when they’re said once? Are you the type to ask repeatedly? It annoys me to say the same thing twice.”

“More than I thought…”

Kang Junwoo sighed briefly and continued.

“You really have no manners.”

“More than you thought? When did you think about me? You should’ve told me earlier; our exclusive partnership might have been much easier.”

“Pardon? No, I just thought you were a bit annoying just now…”

“Oh, thank you. I like you too.”

When Si Fuqing opened her eyes, not only was she robbed of her luck, but everyone also told her to get out of the entertainment industry.... more>>

To live her new life, she just wants to lie down like a salted fish. Who knows there are always people who want to fight her without any real skills. Can it go on like this?

Si Fuqing squeezed her wrist and moved.

Later, the internet is crazily cursing her for overestimating her capabilities and sticking to Yu Yao, starting a rumor about her inappropriate private life, and—

International Diva: I can stand here today, thanks to Qingqing

Top No.1 male streamer: Stay away from my sister @Yu Yao

Even the officials of the International Games: Congratulations to Si Fuqing for winning the 13th individual gold medal, waiting for your retirement.

Yu Yao initially disdained Si Fuqing, but when he learned the truth later, he repented and knelt down to beg her to take another look. He could only post a clarification on Weibo: @Si Fuqing, Hello ninth aunt.

On that day, the whole network was down.

According to history books, Emperor Yin became famous at a young age. He was perfect, powerful, and loved the world. However, he died of illness at the age of 27, and his life was short. He had no wife, no concubines, no children, and no grandchildren. He was the hero of many people.

No one knew, he opened his eyes again, and came 1500 years later. This time, he saw the prosperous Daxia that he had imagined.

Not long after Emperor Yin’s identity was exposed, Si Fuqing learned that her idol was by her side, she admired him so much, and only wanted to—

Si Fuqing: Work hard!

Emperor Yin: Give your heart to me.

Si Fuqing: ???

I’m determined to work hard and you want me?

At a young age, I was caught up in a Gate incident and barely made it out alive. ... more>>

They called me a "miracle child," Jung Jehee.

But that so-called "miracle" meant nothing—I had only barely survived.

I lost my sight, my ability to move freely, and was even diagnosed as terminally ill.

Trapped in a hospital room, all I could do was wait for the day I would die...

Then, in a moment of life-or-death crisis, I awakened as Korea's first-ever S-rank.

After a long, long hospital stay, my new life as an S-rank began.

It should have been something to celebrate.

So why is it that my childhood friend, Im Taehwan, who had been so devoted to me throughout my years of illness, is acting so strange?

"Jehee... don’t tell me... you can see through me?"

Even after learning about my awakening, he seemed oddly unsettled.

"After you're discharged, I was thinking... how about living with me?"

He insisted on living together for some reason.

"Once you're out, why don’t we go study abroad? Anywhere is fine."

Out of nowhere, he started suggesting we move overseas together.

For thirteen years, he took care of me every single day. He should be free to live his own life now.

For the sake of my kind but stubborn friend, I tried my best to gain independence from him.

But then—

"Ah, that? It’s called a re-awakening."

"Seems like I got a little stronger."

To make matters worse, my childhood friend followed right behind me—awakening as the second-ever S-rank in Korea.

Just days after I became the first.

"How did Taehwan end up awakening as an S-rank like me...?"

Is S-rank something contagious?

This is getting seriously weird.

* * *

"Jung Jehee. Do you really not want to live with me?"

"You’re in danger just by being with me. You’re only a B-rank and don’t even have combat abilities. At best, you’re just a normal person with slightly better stamina and strength."

Could Taehwan, who has a non-combat ability, really protect me?

He stayed silent, as if he couldn’t argue with what I said.

"No, it’s just that..."

"You only said your house feels empty to reassure my mom, didn’t you? The truth is, you like being alone—that’s why you never joined a guild. I know how hard it is for solo artifact creators to survive. And yet, you insist on staying independent."

"No, it’s true that I like being alone. But... you..."

"I’m a bit special?"

"...Uh... well... no, I mean..."

"So? What exactly do you mean?"

"...You are... a little special... I guess...?"

Avoiding my gaze, he mumbled under his breath, "We’re friends, after all..."

For someone so big, he still acts just like he did when we were kids.

He won’t meet my eyes, yet he won’t let go of me either. <<less

After transmigrating, I found myself as Go Yeonwoo, a side villain who mu*dered the protagonist, Woo Jiyoo, only to be brutally killed by a group of S-Class Espers.... more>>

To make matters worse, the moment I transmigrated was right after killing Woo Jiyoo.

But unlike the original story, Go Yeonwoo awakens as an S-Class Guide.

The Espers, upon sensing Go Yeonwoo’s guiding energy, start acting differently from the original.

“This bastard, let’s take him and use him as our personal sl*t. Just killing him would be too easy a punishment.”

“We’ll make him regret killing Woo Jiyoo. I’ll have him begging for death by the end.”

The S-Class Espers fake Go Yeonwoo’s death and imprison him in a secret place, forcing him to guide them.

However, with his already twisted tastes, Go Yeonwoo finds the Espers’ obsessive behavior suffocatingly delightful.

He even pretends to resist, encouraging them to treat him even more recklessly.

But then…

“Hey, are you seriously stopping after eating just this much? Are you planning to starve yourself to death?”

“Get lost, Kang Taewon. Because of you, my sl*t can’t eat properly. I’ll feed him myself. Open wide, Yeonwoo.”

“Yeonwoo, is there something you want to say to me? You were jealous enough to kill Jiyoo over it, weren’t you? If you tell me now, I’ll listen. Go ahead.”

“You’re letting me hold you up? Does that mean you’re giving me permission now?” <<less

65 years ago, the Gate Era began.... more>>

With the emergence of Espers and Guides, individuals with extraordinary abilities, society rapidly transformed.

Amidst this chaotic shift, Siho, who lost his family and developed a severe hatred towards Espers, lives a difficult and broken life, both physically and mentally.

Then, one fateful day, Siho finds himself trapped inside a Gate at the crossroads of a choice.

His destiny takes an inevitable turn when he encounters Kang Jae-yoon, who entered the Gate seeking death.

“The true precursor to rampage is when the eyes turn red.”

“Like your eyes right now?”

At the moment of death, Siho, who awakens as a Guide, is violently assaulted by Jae-yoon, who has gone rampage.

In exchange for enduring this merciless beating, he is granted a new life.

Due to the law, Siho is forcibly bound as Jae-yoon’s Pair Guide, and soon, three of this other Espers approach him.

In a tangled web of relationships formed by choice or fate, the emotions of these five individuals become increasingly intertwined.

And as their fragile everyday lives begin to unravel, a new threat to humanity emerges– the Black Gate.

And right in front of the sub male protagonist—who was about to meet his death, no less!
