Fight moderately and play well, this is the ideal life in another world!... more>>

The bastard sword is a sword of moderate length. It’s slightly longer than a short sword, making precise handling a bit challenging. Compared to a long sword its reach falls somewhat short, making winning in direct clashes difficult. Capable of everything, yet not particularly adept at anything. Embracing such a moderate bastard sword, I, Mongrel, a guild man and middle-aged fellow, had a dream.

A dream of living leisurely in peace.

With my abilities, I could use gifts to defeat strong magical creatures if I wanted, and with my modern knowledge, I could potentially transform this different world. However, I choose not to.

Working casually at the guild, immersing myself in cooking and fishing… and if I can occasionally be of help to others, that’s more than enough.

This is the tale of a moderately laid-back guy, an adventure that doesn’t seek too many adventures. <<less

As an Alpha, during the day, Lin Shuangyu is a burden to his mother's remarriage, facing everybody’s dislike.... more>>

At night, he puts on a little skirt and injects himself with Omega pheromones, transforming himself into the sexiest and hottest female singer in the late-night bar. There are countless Alphas crazy about him.

One day, the top spender of the week asked Lin Shuangyu to drink with him, and Lin Shuangyu reluctantly agreed to drink a glass.

Who knew that the wine was full of drugs?

Fortunately, Lin Shuangyu is not a real Omega, so the effect of the drug is not that great on him.

After escaping the clutches of the devil, Lin Shuangyu hid in the super luxurious box private room called "A-King".

A-King is the exclusive private room of a mysterious boss. It is always empty. Lin Shuangyu locked the door before falling unconscious.

Unexpectedly, when he woke up the next day, he was lying in the arms of a tall and handsome Alpha...

Lin Shuangyu, who had been treated as an Omega for the entire night, felt like crying but had no tears left. With trembling legs, he stumbled away.

Homosexuality is a taboo that most Alphas cannot accept.

In order to avoid being retaliated against by the mysterious boss who knew the truth, Lin Shuangyu temporarily sealed away the little skirt.

Three months later, the new heir of the Pei family, where his mother remarried, suddenly appeared. Lin Shuangyu’s mother repeatedly advised him to find an opportunity to please and flatter this powerful cousin.

Lin Shuangyu made some perfunctory responses, but was stunned when he saw the face of his new cousin.

•|•

After getting drunk, Pei Jichuan slept with an estrus Omega, but when he woke up he could not find any trace of her.

It was not until he met his new cousin from a branch family that he discovered that this cousin’s face looked 60% similar to the one he remembered.

But, the first gender didn't match, and neither did the second gender.

The other party's personality was an even bigger mismatch. No matter how he tried to test the other party, he always looked taciturn and unpleasant.

Until one day, Lin Shuangyu suddenly fainted from a stomach pain and was taken to the hospital by him...

•|•

After Lin Shuangyu found out that the man that night was his new cousin whom he could not afford to offend, so he decided to play dumb.

Anyway, the one who slept with his powerful cousin is the goddess Omega, so what did he, an Alpha who was hated by everyone, have to do with it?

After being taken to the hospital, Pei Jichuan tested him again.

Lin Shuangyu still refused to admit it.

Pei Jichuan: Okay, it’s not you, then what is this in your stomach?

Pei Jichuan pointed at his bulging belly.

Lin Shuangyu: I’ve gained weight.

Pei Jichuan: No, you're five months pregnant.

Lin Shuangyu: ?

Pei Jichuan: This is a paternity test. The result shows that I am the child’s other father. Do you have anything else to argue about?

Lin Shuangyu: ???

No, can Alpha also get pregnant?! QAQ

Early Talent: [God of Thieves] (S-Level)

Midgame Evolution: [One-Person Party] (SS-Level)

"A free soul is never bound by the thorns of nobility. There’s no need to ascend to the divine altar or sugarcoat our deeds. We are thieves lurking in the shadows—know yourself, and then revel in unbridled joy."

As the world turns into a game, every player awakens a divinely bestowed talent:

[Holy Light] , [Immortal] , [Breath of Winter] , [Frozen Throne] , [Elegance Never Goes Out of Style] , [Clock Out, Then Become a Chef God] , [Best Supporting Role] , [Marshmallow] , [Butter Beer] , and so on...

After being reborn, the first thing Yu Xunge does is rush home to force-feed her brother—soon to marry into the Su family—a bottle of liquor, ensuring he misses the first beta test of the game.

In her past life, this s*umbag had manipulated her endlessly. It wasn’t until her dying moments that she discovered he had been scheming against her from the shadows all along.

On her deathbed, she learned she was nothing more than the villain in a male-oriented novel about a live-in son-in-law’s rise to power. All the malice and suffering she endured? It was him shifting blame onto her from behind the scenes.

This time, it’s her turn to operate in the shadows.

Male and female leads? All your fortunes? They’re mine now.

She was a secret guard, codenamed 37, later named Qingge by Ning Wang.... more>>

One day, she narrowly escaped death and was sent out to recover from her injuries. On the way, someone approached her, claiming she resembled the young lady he served. The young lady was suffering from a chronic illness, and he asked her to take her place in the wedding, hiding the truth from the groom for five months. The man offered her a generous sum of silver notes, and Qingge, being greedy, accepted.

But what she never expected was that the fiancée’s groom turned out to be none other than her master, Ning Wang…

Fortunately, no one knew the face of the secret guards, except for Heaven, Earth, and their Pavilion Master. Ning Wang had no idea. Qingge successfully hid her identity and cautiously played the role of a Wangfei.

Ning Wang was extraordinarily handsome but had a violent temper. One day, while investigating a traitor, he harshly interrogated all the secret guards. One of them ended up being punished for a trivial matter, receiving a hundred whip lashes, leaving the ground stained with blood. Ning Wang remained indifferent.

The Emperor arranged a marriage for Ning Wang with the legitimate daughter of the presitigious Xiahou clan of Ganliang. The Wangfei was gentle, charming, and pure in nature. Initially, Ning Wang was indifferent and cautious but eventually fell for her.

After ten months of pregnancy, the Wangfei gave birth to a son. When she returned after a visit to her natal family, Ning Wang gripped her by the throat and coldly demanded, “Where is this prince’s Wangfei?”

Though the woman before him looked alike, she was not her.

It was then that he realized the Wangfei he had shared his life with was a fake, brought in by the Xiahou family with money!

In his fury, Ning Wang unleashed a bloodbath.

Afterward, he searched everywhere for that woman, but despite turning the world upside down, he could not find her.

Three years passed, and Ning Wang’s initial rage and hatred turned into silence and contemplation, eventually giving way to quiet coldness.

Until one day, under the dim light of the waning moon, he gazed at the fallen phoenix tree leaves at his feet, covering the elongated shadow of the secret guard behind him.

In a low voice, he asked, “It’s you, isn’t it?” <<less

Wanting to turn over a new leaf after moving…... more>>

I thought I could start over and forget my lonely middle school days, but what awaited me there was…

S*upid classmates once again!

I’ve had enough of these people.

In the end, am I destined to stay lonely…?

Then, one person approached me.

She was the vice-president of the student council, Satsukawa Sara, who was known for her coldness towards others and her overly beautiful appearance, the “Lonely Goddess”.

But I know… her other side.

That she’s so kind, and has a very caring side.

“You’re getting too familiar, aren’t you? You guys… don’t get in the way!”

“From now on, I’ll be taking care of you every day at your house!”

“Here, I’ll fix your tie, but you have to stay put. If you move… Fu-fu-fu.”

W-Wait! Don’t do that in a public place!

Thus, I became even more isolated… <<less

Place of Birth: Bone Sea Identity: Skeleton… In the next moment, Yun Ming, still in a daze, was swept into the battlefield. Thus, a bewildered gray bone was ruthlessly hijacked by fate. What kind of unknowns will he face? ... more>>

***

The world swam into focus through a haze of gray-white mist, the only sound a persistent, dry crackling in unseen ears. Yun Ming's consciousness flickered, slowly anchoring itself to a body lying flat on... bones. Countless bones, forming a desolate, shifting landscape beneath him. He tried to sit up, but agony exploded through his frame, sharp and absolute. Looking down, he saw not flesh, but gray-white ribs. Above, slender leg bones stretched where his own should be.

"I... am a skeleton?" The thought echoed in the hollow cavity of his skull, a silent scream of disbelief swallowed by the oppressive mist. Around him, other skeletal figures stirred, mindless automatons rising from the osseous sea, only for some to suddenly collapse, scattering back into the landscape like brittle twigs. Death was palpable here, a constant presence reinforced by the chilling whispers of disintegration.

A voice, alien yet intimate, suddenly bloomed within his mind, urging him forward, into the unknown grayness. With excruciating effort, fueled by a primal fear and a dawning, terrifying awareness, Yun Ming forced his fragile new body upright. This was the Bone Sea. This was his new, horrifying beginning. And in this realm of endless death, survival was the only imperative. His journey, fraught with pain and the constant threat of dissolution, had just begun. <<less

A virg*n civil servant with no girlfriend is reincarnated into the world of a dating sim game, where he is forced to play by his sister. To make matters worse, he is reincarnated as the unpopular, worthless character that the protagonist had never attempted to pursue. However, as a dating sim character, he is handsome and has a respectable social status. Naturally, the men in this world only think about being popular with women and desperately try to be popular, but the protagonist, who doesn't want to be involved in the otome game, quietly stays out of it. However, his unexpected behavior catches the attention of the heroines in the game, who notice his uniqueness... more>> in this world.

Gradually, the heroine starts talking to him, but he ignores it. Why? Because he never even considers the possibility of being popular. Therefore, the protagonist doesn't even notice the beautiful girls in front of him.

“I know you won't pay attention to me. But if you could just look at me for a moment...”  

The protagonist becomes more and more like a distant flower. The rumors spread to the center of the game...!?  

This is not just a romantic comedy, so not for the faint of heart. <<less

When Muxi encountered that female zerg in the underground district,... more>>

The female zerg was covered in blood and was in a miserable state. Its pair of heterochromatic eyes stared blankly at him, reminding him of his exotic pet cat at home.

But how could an exotic pet cat be this dirty?

Muxi wanted to clean up the female zerg, so he bought it.

【Aloof and Beautiful Male Zerg Gong x Reborn Strong, Resilient, and Loyal Dog Female Zerg Shou】

Later, Muxi discovered that the other party was actually a ferocious large beast, nothing like his perception of a purebred cat.

As he looked at the female zerg beside him, carefully retracting its claws and bone wings, Muxi hesitated:

Should he throw away this zerg he had personally trained?

Shi’an turned back, “Male Lord, are you going to wear your pajamas?”

“Yes.” Muxi kicked away the bone wings that had wrapped around him to protect his robe.

Shi’an: “?!!”

Shi’an stretched his body, displaying his strong, rippling muscles, “Male Lord, the pajamas aren’t warmer than I am.”

Muxi: “……” That’s true.

I wasn’t reborn with talent or ability, but at least my knowledge from earth allowed me to stay one step ahead in this other world.... more>>

Magic exists here, and new progress was rapidly being made in science while magic stagnated in the name of tradition. Using my earthly knowledge and not bound by the traditional thinking, I was able to do things other wizards couldn’t even imagine.

Still, inadvertently becoming an undercover professor for a mysterious secret society at the renowned Theon academy was never in my to-do list! <<less

The world only knows that Xiao Yang and Qin Fei fought over the position of Sect Master of the Azure Sun Sword Sect for a thousand years. Yet, only Xiao Yang truly understands just how despicable, shameless, insidious, and ruthless Qin Fei is.... more>>

Why? Because Qin Fei is the young master of the Demonic Sect, a spy planted by them.

However, no one, not even his master, parents, junior martial sister, younger sister, or any of his fellow disciples, believed Xiao Yang. Everyone chose to believe Qin Fei.

Everyone condemned Xiao Yang, claiming he was jealous of Qin Fei, accusing him of slandering and framing Qin Fei.

Qin Fei was simply too good at pretending. He feigned a pitiful background, acted weak, and staged being bullied, gaining people’s pity, sympathy, and protection. With his innate Dao physique, he was hailed as the chosen one of the heavens.

Fine, in this second life, Xiao Yang resolved to show the world how this so-called “chosen one” would massacre the Azure Sun Sword Sect, use the blood of cultivators across the world to break the seal of the Abyss of Demons, and plunge the entire world into a living hell for the demon race! <<less

Lin Yu couldn't understand why he had transmigrated to this place.... more>>

When others transmigrate, they either go to a cultivation world where a single sword strike can defeat ten thousand enemies.

Or they travel back to historical dynasties to alter history and wield imperial power.

At the very least, they'd go back a few decades to get rich using their future knowledge and build a harem.

Who the hell would transmigrate here! <<less

Rabbit hunger disease refers to the phenomenon where if people only eat rabbit meat during a famine, no matter how much they eat, they will quickly starve to death. This is due to nutritional imbalance. However, eating only potatoes will not cause this.... more>>

Potatoes are a rare food that prevents starvation, almost meeting all the nutritional elements the human body needs to sustain life. In simple terms: potatoes are awesome.

Qiao Xuejun, a recent graduate in agronomy, just started her job when she unexpectedly transmigrated to the apocalypse and bound to a granary system.

The apocalypse is imminent, with extreme high temperatures, heavy rain, floods, snow disasters, acid rain, and mutated creatures. Extreme weather alternates, disasters are endless, and humanity struggles to survive with scarce resources.

System: Hoarding grain can be exchanged for a shelter; the more grain, the more advanced the shelter.

Hoarding grain and farming? This is a perfect match, my specialty!

As soon as she opened her eyes, she was tricked by her awful relatives into buying their unsold potatoes.

What a coincidence!

The potato variety is Holland No. 15, with a short dormancy period, strong disease resistance, easy to plant, and easy to store, yielding ten thousand jin per mu.

With a large warehouse, Qiao Xuejun bought them all out amidst her relatives' gazes of them being a sucker.

System: Congratulations to the host for completing the pre-disaster reserve mission. Mission Reward: Shelter （Primary）. Only 1 day until the apocalypse. <<less

Cen Lingqiu, a veteran agent of the Book Transmigration Bureau, takes on one last mission before retirement: to stop the female lead from committing su*cide.... more>>

The female lead is beautiful and frail, disabled in both legs. The male lead treats her as a stand-in for the woman he can never forget, locking her away in his mountainside manor and keeping her in total seclusion. Cen Lingqiu is transmigrated into the body of the male lead's older sister—a villainous side character who relentlessly torments the frail female lead.

The System informs her that the female lead has developed severe self-destructive tendencies. To advance the plot, she must prevent the female lead's su*cide and lower her self-destruction value.

Yu Mingjiao is beautiful but extremely world-weary and gloomy. Dutifully, Cen Lingqiu ignores her coldness, taking her to watch sunsets, nursing her back to health, and showering her with all kinds of kindness.

After faking her death to complete the mission, Cen Lingqiu is on the verge of retirement when the System informs her that the female lead has relapsed. Her mission is a failure.

Cen Lingqiu has no choice but to return to Yu Mingjiao's side, only to die again by accident.

When she returns to Yu Mingjiao's side for a third time, the once gloomy and taciturn female lead has completely descended into madness. Mentally unstable and plagued by hallucinations, she develops an intense possessiveness over Cen Lingqiu, whispering in a neurotic voice:

“Sister Lingqiu, if you leave me again, I'll kill myself.”

Cen Lingqiu: “...”

She realizes the plot has gone completely off the rails; the female lead is insane.

---

Yu Mingjiao finds Cen Lingqiu hypocritical and disgusting. She rejects the woman's kindness, wishing only for her death.

Later, when Cen Lingqiu really does die in front of her three times, it's as if Yu Mingjiao dies with her each time.

Throughout her life, Yu Mingjiao has hated this woman most of all, but she has also loved her most of all. She never imagined that one day, she would be the one crying and begging her not to go.

She would die. <<less

Ghost talks have descended upon the world, and the appearance of each horror story constitute the loss of countless lives. Only by clearing the horror story can you leave alive.... more>>

In the tenth year since the beginning of ghost talks, the “Global Ghost Talks Research Association” has summed up a series of general rules.

“The General Rulebook of Ghost Talks”

　1. Do not lose yourself in the ghost talk. Please remember that you are a human being with only two eyes, a nose and a mouth.

　2. Please make sure you have the correct time in the ghost talk. It can help clear up your cognition. Losing time may mean being lost forever.

　3. Find as many rules as possible, but don’t believe in any rules easily.

　4. The more rules you find, the easier it is to attract “His” attention.

　5. Perform your current identity well. You may be of any species in ghost talks. You can be any species

　6. Keep thinking.
