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.

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.

My name is Lin Yuetian, 23 years old.... more>>

I come from a somewhat chaotic cyberpunk future world and am currently single. I work at a security company and return home punctually at 8 PM every day. I don’t smoke, I only drink lightly, and I go to bed at 11 PM, ensuring I get a full 8 hours of sleep each night. Before sleeping, I always drink a glass of warm milk and do 20 minutes of seated forward bends. Once I’m in bed, I fall asleep immediately and sleep soundly until morning, never letting fatigue or stress carry over to the next day. The 30 or so psychologists I’ve consulted all say I’m perfectly normal.

System: That’s enough, really.

I have a gentle personality, am friendly and reasonable, work diligently, and have excellent interpersonal relationships.

Also, though it may sound a bit arrogant, I know I’m very good-looking. Every morning when I leave the house, I attract at least four groups of cyberpunk-style villains. Naturally, I handle them all.

System: Shouldn’t you start introducing some objective details, my friend?

Ah, yes, I forgot to mention—I am a shark hand, a Gold Medal shark hand. For ten consecutive quarters, I’ve ranked first on the company’s zero-negative-review leaderboard. My goal in life is to earn more money, achieve financial freedom, and happily enjoy life. While I admit I’m incredibly outstanding, I only wish to live a peaceful life.

System: Ha!

I never imagined that after falling asleep, I would inexplicably wake up in various s*um Gong novels, with an extra system in my head—yes, the one who’s been chiming in during my self-introduction. He’s my colleague. Well then, System, why don’t you tell the readers what I need to do?

System: You need to make the s*um Gong fall for you and sincerely regret their actions—wait, what are you doing?

Sharpening my sword—oh, it’s just one of the tools I’ll need to complete my tasks. Don’t worry about me; I’ll make sure the s*um Gongs are both genuinely regretful and thoroughly dealt with.

This story solemnly promises: No s*um Gong will survive, and no innocent systems will be harmed in the process.

System: Ridiculous!!! Absolutely ridiculous!!!!

Due to past experiences, Wen Shi has become distrustful of others. He now believes that the only person he can trust in this world is himself.... more>>

****

Wen Shi unexpectedly got pulled into an infinite game.

【Congratulations to the player for awakening the ‘I Am Who I Am’ skill.”

I Am Who I Am: Spend one hundred points to summon another ‘me’ from a parallel world once.】

Wen Shi replied indifferently, “Summoning someone to their death?”

Until——

On the night of the horror castle, the castle owner insisted on finding the most perfect bride, eliminating one player every night until then.

The once unremarkable story took a drastic turn when Wen Shi summoned a girl with a long sword.

The girl affectionately called Wen Shi “Little Brother” while holding the sword’s tip to the castle owner’s forehead.

On that day, the castle owner became completely terrified of marriage. In the bloody dormitory, Wen Shi accidentally summoned a sickly heartthrob.

The sickly heartthrob knocked on every door with a smile at the indescribable residents. “Would you take care of me?”

On the night of Ghost Festival, when the gates of the netherworld were opened and the night was filled with spirits, Wen Shi and the summoned zombie stared at each other.

Wen Shi: “Come, follow my lead. The night of the hundred ghosts is dangerous. We should be cautious.”

Zombie: “H-hundred households’ meals smell delicious.”

Wen Shi: “Survive!”

Angry Zombie: “H-hungry, f-food, not picky!”

No friends? We can be your friends.

No family? We can be your family.

After dating for a while, Wen Shi shyly said, “My family would like to meet you.”

After gaining awareness, Ye Jishu realizes he is just a passerby in a harem novel where the protagonist shou is a magnet for obsessive lovers. ... more>>

This novel has Gong 1, Gong 2, Gong 3... and the list goes on, each of them seemingly infected with madness, falling deeply and uncontrollably in love with the protagonist shou.

Constantly showing concern, forcing possession, secretly stalking... Every flavor of obsession is covered.

Yet, Ye Jishu isn’t even one of these cannon-fodder gongs. He’s just a spicy little plot device thrown into the tangled web of messy love triangles and polyamorous relationships.

His entire existence serves one purpose: for the protagonist shou to coldly say, while facing all the gongs vying for him, “He’s my boyfriend.”

Such an enticing and manipulative statement, spicing things up just a little more.

For Ye Jishu, this was a doorway to a whole new world.

According to the original plot, his role was:

When Gong 1 shows up, he conveniently goes to get water, leaving the two some private space;

When Gong 2 arrives, he pretends to look for something, giving them time to exchange glances;

When Gong 3 comes, he closes his eyes and pretends to sleep, giving them a chance for some dramatic tension...

He thought this was all he had to do.

But one late night, unexpectedly, the protagonist shou suddenly pins him down on the bed, snuggling against his neck, voice low and heavy:

"Jishu, why don’t you care about the people getting close to me? It’s obvious they all have ulterior motives, yet you don’t get jealous at all—"

"Heh, of course, I don’t really care what you think either. After all, humans are just food, and you’re nothing more than a tool I’m using..."

"...Hmm? Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you planning to ignore me again, leave me alone, and focus on someone else? Ridiculous. As if I’d actually care. This is getting old."

"……………"

"Uh-oh, how troublesome, what a mess. What should I do? I don’t want this, but now that things have reached this point, you’ll just have to always keep your eyes on me from now on. Otherwise, I might end up eating you too. What do you think about that, Jishu?"

His tone was coaxing, his face dazzlingly beautiful.

His ink-black eyes were filled with dark, insane possessiveness.

Seeing the tent**les sprouting from the protagonist shou’s body, and the black mist swirling around him, Ye Jishu’s heart raced at five hundred miles per hour, jumping to full throttle, his eyelids twitching furiously.

What is this? So scary, so terrifying, ahhhh!

#I thought I was just background scenery, but it turns out I’m a pure love warrior!#

Warnings:

1. Non-human elements involved.

2. The gong isn’t human; his inner thoughts are often crawling with darkness, constantly acting out his own mental dramas.

3. Don’t force yourself if this isn’t your taste! This is mainly about writing a yandere, gloomy, twisted, walking-red-flag male lead! A gong with overwhelming, suffocating love! <<less

As a high-risk individual, Ye Sangsang received an invitation to the beta test of the holographic game “Criminal Files.”... more>>

As a game known for its high degree of freedom, high adaptability, and extremely realistic simulations based on real criminal cases, its beta release garnered significant attention.

As a condition of the beta test, she was required to livestream her gameplay.

Delicate, beautiful, and silent—these were the words often associated with Ye Sangsang.

As a game that had captured the nation’s high expectations, many were baffled when they saw Ye Sangsang.

This was quickly followed by ridicule.

“Someone like her playing from the criminal’s perspective? The victim would probably turn the tables on her.”

“Is she going in as an investigator? A beautiful but useless burden?”

“The victim escaping alive? Don’t make me laugh.”

But as the cases progressed, Ye Sangsang gradually left the audience in awe.

“The criminal!!! Oh no, lock her up, I’m terrified of how she kills!”

“Investigation? Come on, can you guys keep up with Sangsang’s pace?”

“The victim! Ahhh, what a bloody battlefield!”

The livestream chat, once filled with skepticism, eventually overflowed with admiration.

Some even began to suspect that she might actually be a high-intelligence criminal herself.

It wasn’t until later that Ye Sangsang’s holographic crime scene simulations helped solve one real-life case after another.

Audience: ???!!!

Ye Sangsang, facing the camera: Please note, I only perform once.

"That hurts!"

At that moment, the tentacle wrapped around his ankle tightened. Crack. His ankle twisted at an unnatural angle, bone piercing through skin. The human couldn't even scream, only gasp and choke out pained breaths.

Perhaps surprised by the man's unexpectedly fierce resistance, or perhaps for some other reason, the tentacle seemed bewildered. It retreated slightly, writhing as if trying to communicate. Not stopping there, the other tent**les holding Baek Taeho also recoiled, cringing away.

Soon, the tent**les filling the room began to slither out like eels. Even as they retreated, they stayed pressed close to the walls, as if trying to avoid touching him.

“Monsters must be hunted down. It seems here they are bred for labor.”

“Zed, this place is really a mess.”

David’s kind tone only intensified Zed’s frustration. As David looked up, he had an expression of pure amazement as if genuinely impressed by the mess. Zed withdrew his hand that had been groping the ground.

Arc 1: Chapter of the Tongue... more>>

Xie Xishu didn’t know when it started, but he could always feel a strong gaze from behind him.

He couldn’t understand why Qi Wu kept staring at him like that. Even without turning around, he could feel that almost tangible gaze.

Xie Xishu was the class’s famous bookworm, while Qi Wu was known as the school’s notorious troublemaker. There shouldn’t be any intersection between them.

Yet, Qi Wu would always stare at him during class.

Eventually, even after class and after school, Xie Xishu would find a tall, gloomy figure trailing behind him.

When Xie Xishu finally broke down and grabbed Qi Wu in an alley, demanding an answer out of fear, he got a completely unexpected response.

“You’re sweet. You keep giving off a very sweet scent.”

Qi Wu replied in a strange tone.

“I can barely hold back anymore. Everything else stinks so much it’s driving me mad. Only you smell sweet… Hey, don’t worry. I won’t eat you.”

“I just want to lick you.”

Perhaps Qi Wu himself didn’t realize that when he made that absurd request, he was already uncontrollably drooling foul saliva at Xie Xishu.

At the same time, Xie Xishu clearly saw that inside Qi Wu’s lips, which stretched all the way to his ears, there were rows of densely packed, fishhook-like teeth… and a long, forked tongue.

That tongue wavered in the air, twitching nimbly, and with thick saliva, it pressed against Xie Xishu’s neck.

“Mmm… So sweet… $#@%! So sweet…”

The unfamiliar monster let out a murky sigh.

At the moment Xie Xishu screamed and fled, he didn’t know that in the not-so-distant future, he would encounter more twisted and frenzied monsters.

And in that sudden apocalypse, the only one who could protect him was Qi Wu.

The price Xie Xishu had to pay, of course, was to let Qi Wu’s tongue be satisfied.
