Ha-un, who lost his parents at a young age and was left alone with his younger sibling, dropped out of middle school and has worked various manual labor jobs to survive. One day, after winning the lottery and suddenly becoming wealthy, burnout hits him just as life starts to get easier. With no friends or hobbies, Ha-un lies listlessly in bed all day until his younger sibling asks him to reach level 50 in an online game called “Forest Effect” for a college assignment.... more>>

Having suffered from hwabyung, distrust in people, and misanthropy from 12 years of labor, plus holding prejudices that games are only for pathetic people, Ha-un reluctantly logs into the game for his sibling’s sake but wants to play alone because he dislikes people. However, there’s someone who keeps approaching him, saying “it’s more fun to play with others.” This person seems to be famous in the game… Coincidentally, a well-known pro gamer who claims to be his sibling’s friend from school also starts suspiciously approaching him. Why are both of these people acting this way towards him?

Will Ha-un, a hungry fox who sees all people and games as sour, unripe grapes, be able to peacefully remain alone?

[Note: This references the Aesop’s fable “The Fox and the Sour Grapes” – One day, a hungry fox discovers luscious gr*pe clusters hanging from a vine. After trying to jump and kicking the tree trunk but failing to reach the grapes, the fox turns away saying, “Those must be sour grapes. They’re definitely sour and tasteless.”] <<less

LingYang spent 500RMB to buy a ladyboy account, and it came with a husband?... more>>

Just after logging into the game he was informed that the account was in debt, and he had no choice but to sell himself and act as a couple with his ‘husband’.

LingYang: I only bought an account, why must you force a husband on me?

YeLang: You can also choose not to take the husband but the debt instead.

LingYang: Dear, can I not have the free gift?

YeLang: Sorry, it’s a bundle, no returns allowed.

At first glance, it’s a story about how a little antelope accidentally entered the embrace of a big-tailed wolf after escaping from a tiger’s den.

But it’s actually an inspirational story about how an innocent straight man was actively turned gay by a little bottom with a boots fetish, then went through a series of complex mentality changes, finally becoming a cold-blooded, black-bellied S top! <<less

[Worldgate Online] the worlds first full-scale VRMMORPG.... more>>

After maxing out the notoriously bad healer class and completing an ascension event, I got transported into a world that closely resembled the game, but in which most of the game’s systems had disappeared, even though my appearance and skills remained the same.

Even though I am a boy, the pretty girl I was playing as became my real body, with shining wings on my back. A race that can “heal” the wounds of the world, which should have been extinct long ago.

But isn’t that a bit too harsh of a start for a level 1 healer?

The game Caplet, which completely flopped just one year after its release.... more>>

In Caplet, Shin Jehyun, known as ‘Healer,’ is notorious for his rivalry with ‘Habaek,’ the vice guild leader of the rival guild, Funeral Director.

[Guild] Healer: How do I kill that bastard?

The two were such bitter enemies that they even had assassination funds stored in the guild's warehouse.

Then, one day, a global corporation, Flex, acquires Capitol Studio, the creator of Caplet, leading to changes between the two.

“Jehyun, how about we merge our guild with Funeral Director?”

After briefly freaking out at the suggestion, Jehyun eventually decides to go through with the merger, unable to resist the tempting offer from the opposing guild leader.

[Party] Healer: Is the top-ranking thief even human? They don’t seem to understand words.

[Party] Habaek: You need to be on the same level to communicate.

[Party] Healer: True. You’re so low I can’t hear you. Lol

[Party] Habaek: Seems like you can't tell the difference between top and bottom.^^

Will this guild... last long? <<less

He starts the game under the player name “Shin”. Then immediately a random quest occurs! By clearing it, Shin obtains a unique title as a reward. However, it was written there:

“If you possess this title, you cannot participate in any in-game events.”

On the gaming forums, veteran players were sharpening their knives, having spent days furiously criticizing «Chronicles of the Ten Continents»—an open-world MMORPG cultivation game that claimed to crush the “Big Three” gaming studios. However, when the servers finally opened—they discovered the Big Three really were like little brothers in comparison!... more>>

An awe-inspiring otherworldly realm unfolded before them: the Ten Continents within the sea and three Islands beyond, and a map so breathtakingly vast it left players dizzy. The game featured a gorgeous world of immortal cultivation filled with celestial beings, ghosts, mythical beasts, and demons…

And most importantly, there was the «World’s Greatest Immortal Sect»—built from absolutely nothing through the blood, sweat, and tears of countless players!

*

“Master, Master, why is our sect called the World’s Greatest Immortal Sect?”

“Perhaps because… we have too many people?”

Fang Xianyu, who had restarted the game for a second playthrough, gazed lovingly at the mass of self-brainwashing leeks—er, players—with deep satisfaction, deciding it was time to lead this massive player base on a chaotic rampage through the cultivation world.

A newbie glanced at the real-time player count—five million—and scratched their head in confusion.

For his entire life, Dugu Zhuo had been toyed with by heaven. His cultivation had been destroyed, his familial bonds had been severed, his friends had passed on, and he was burdened with the crime of patricide. Even his one and only true love, Ye Zhou, had been killed and his soul shattered.... more>>

Having lost all hope, he walked every corner of the world accompanied by a spiritual jade containing a single fragment of Ye Zhou's soul, wishing only to find the other pieces so they could be with one another in a next life.

However, one day, near the end of his life, he wandered into an illusion and suddenly saw Ye Zhou being chased by several beasts.

When he slew those beasts, a strange sound rang by his ears.

"Ding! For slaying a monster, you've received 3 low-grade spirit stones."

"Ding! For slaying a monster, you've received a secret book, the Reverse Sword Technique."

"Ding! For slaying a monster, you've received a rare healing item, the Spirit Replenishing Herb."

"Ding! You've gained a level and restored 1% of your cultivation."

And the Ye Zhou he had just "saved" waved his sword at him furiously, yelling at him, "How dare you steal my monsters!"

Dugu Zhuo: ?

—

In the VR game Nine Heavens, Ye Zhou met an eccentric player called Dugu Zhuo.

He didn't understand common sense, he didn't know the controls, he was never offline, and he often gazed at Ye Zhou with hidden depths in his eyes.

Ye Zhou only thought he had taken a good-looking little disciple, helping him level up step by step, and after flirting for a long time they married each other in the game.

Just when Ye Zhou was considering meeting Dugu Zhuo in the real world, there was a system notification from the game:

[Player Yi Ye Pian Zhou has triggered the final storyline, 'Sword Tomb', and unlocked the final boss, Dugu Zhuo.]

Ye Zhou: …

What a coincidence, that was his husband's name! <<less

The reason for returning to Earth? To pamper his little sister?... more>>

I safely reunited with my little sister, all’s well that ends well… or so I thought. To my surprise, my little sister had become a VTuber! Not only that, she was the promotional manager for the popular VRMMO “Little Brave Online” that was garnering attention worldwide! To contribute items to my sister, I promptly purchased “Little Brave Online” and started playing. In that world, where levels and stats matter, one’s skill is paramount above all else.

“Another Dimension Online”, or ADO for short, had long occupied a top spot in popular VRMMO game rankings. Users can create an account at the age of fifteen; the main character had enjoyed playing it since their fifteenth birthday. ... more>>

Nevertheless, that love could never be made a reality. <<less

After being beaten down by reality, I returned to the past, 12 years ago.... more>>

This time, I swore to live for myself… but… this RPG is just too much fun. Let me just play it for a bit.

I’ll just level this up, and then I’ll focus on living a good life.

I’ll just defeat the boss, and then I’ll live my life properly.

…Isn’t a gamer or an internet streamer also living life to the fullest? <<less

I think it's common for anyone to get tired of the reality of just working all the time once the fun student life is over. While envying those who have the luxury to enjoy romance, I spend my days repeating the cycle of taking a bath, drinking, eating, and sleeping once work is done. It's normal to sometimes wonder why I'm just constantly being scolded and can't muster any motivation for this kind of life.... more>>

That's the kind of life I've been living, and what caught my eye was a commercial for a new VRMMO game. It's a capsule type, with the basic physical abilities as the foundation, and it's cutting-edge with all five senses, so much so that the price almost wipes out my savings.

However, the rare items I could acquire can be converted into real money, so I quit my job decisively and went ahead to purchase the main unit, pouring almost all my savings into it. I think my decision at that time wasn't wrong, yeah.

But still... Why am I so famous? <<less
