I opened my eyes to find myself in another world. But for some odd reason, I ended up as a sword. Before my eyes laid a plain full of magic beasts, and so, I launched my body and flew in search of a partner, a wielder (females only). ... more>>

Wait. Absorbing magic stones gets me skills? Oh hell yeah! This will be fun! More, more, give me more! Gimme all your magic stones! Okay, yeah no, but I am accepting anything anyone’s willing to give.

Mu Ai watched as the scenery before her gradually changed and the Rulebook inexplicably appeared in her hand. She muttered to herself, "After all that chatter, I thought I'd unlock an [Adventurer] achievement... and this is it? This is it? What a dump, it's doomed to fail!"

As for what to do next, Mu Ai thought, since she was already here, what else could she do? She might as well grab all the Side Quests and items in the Instance first. <<less

One day, I was thrown into another dimension wearing nothing but pajamas.... more>>

While everyone else was shouting for their status windows, I was told mine didn’t exist due to an error.

Oh, and my pet rat that got thrown in with me? Turns out he’s a beastman.

Should I be shocked that my pet turned out to be a beastman?

Or that this beastman is actually an insanely powerful S-Rank Awakened?

Or maybe…

That this one-day-old Awakened rat is now whispering words of love to me?

“How can I make you like me, Soul? Just tell me, and I’ll do it. Even if I have to climb into a cat’s mouth and come out again, I’ll do it.”

The denizens of this world are far better looking, and this new world also possesses futuristic technology as well as mysterious Yin Yang masters!... more>>

After reincarnating, he realized that he was endowed with a miraculous game-like system, which enables him to increase his own stats and transcend the limits of the human body. This system even has a game-breaking ability to save and load in real life!

In this new world that’s akin to a 2-D game, he just wants to enjoy life and head for a glorious future… However, he is quickly embroiled in a complex plot.

This time, you will be the ones who will be horribly destroyed.... more>>

There were various modifiers for the villainess Odette Lina von Albrecht, who appeared in the 19+ corrupted reverse harem game.

A deceiver who deceived the Empire by pretending to be a purifier when she was not. A witch who committed evil deeds that were too evil to even speak of and toyed with the four male protagonists who were transcendent.

However, there was something that the players who played the game and the male protagonists who hated and pursued Odette didn't know.

"You are nothing more than a toy in our house. Since your master has decided to abandon you, you should die happily."

All of Odette's terrible evil deeds were not based on her will. However, that fact was never revealed. Because Odette, who was falsely accused, eventually met her death at the hands of the male protagonists.

It was definitely going to end like that.

"...Could it be that you have come back?"

She returned to the past. And at the moment of her death, she realized that she had been reincarnated as Oddette.

***

A second life was given, a future where she knew exactly what would happen. I was going to show the family who betrayed me a real hell and use the male protagonists who hated me as a means of revenge. But,

"Damn it. I don't know why you care."

"I want to offer you my knightly oath."

The male protagonist who hated me changed. In the meantime, I suddenly awakened as a real purifier.

'When I wanted it so badly, I wasn't given anything. Why now that I've given up on everything?'

All that matters to me is revenge. I don't like anything. Really, not anything. <<less

After returning from a trip, Xiang Er discovered strange things constantly happening around her.... more>>

On the damp walls of her rented apartment, mushrooms of bizarre colors and strange shapes sprouted;

Opening the refrigerator, an icy tentacle suddenly sprung out, clinging intimately to her cheek;

In the dark of night, a sticky, soft black shadow dripped mucus, plop plop, advancing across the ceiling, slowly entwining itself around her body…

Her dreams were gloomy and damp, mountains and rivers spinning, heaven and earth inverted.

Xiang Er awoke, covered in sweat, realizing…

She had been targeted by a “Cthulhu”(Evil God).

*

Xiang Er met a mysterious and beautiful woman.

She wore a red dress, her beauty breathtaking, making Xiang Er experience a feeling of infatuation she had never known before.

The woman took the initiative to move in with Xiang Er, helping her deal with troublesome matters, and in times of danger, risking herself so that Xiang Er could escape first.

Xiang Er finally fell deeply, deciding to tell her all her secrets, including the “Cthulhu”.

The woman in the red dress blinked slowly, curving her bright red lips and asking:

“So, do you like it?”

Xiang Er thought she was asking if she liked her, so she blushed, her eyes misty as she nodded.

The woman laughed, the corners of her mouth slowly widening, thick, dark red tent**les rising high behind her, swaying slowly and joyfully.

“I… like you too.”

*

The unnameable Cthulhu, casting its gaze from the endless crevices of time and space, saw Xiang Er’s pale face and dark, bewildered eyes.

From then on, Xiang Er was destined to become the Cthulhu’s plaything.

Unable to escape, eternally lost.

“Kissing someone without knowing the colour of their eyes, really?”... more>>

Hexion sneered as he looked at the restrained man. Even a disaster grade esper didn’t seem like much.

“Ugh…”

A dry and rough kiss, under the guise of guiding, continued. Eventually, light purple irises were revealed beneath the forcibly removed blindfold. The esper, Zero Nine, muttered unconsciously. “I feel… surprisingly good.”

“A kiss has awakened you.”

Of course it would feel good. Despite the slight sarcasm, Zero Nine asked with a somewhat dazed look. “…Did we kiss?”

“Yes, we did. On someone’s orders.”

Bloody, torn lips, gaunt cheeks, pale skin, and flushed ears.

“Then, would you kiss me just once more?”

The man, who had been on the verge of rampaging just moments ago, said. Hexion lowered his head and commanded,

“Open your mouth.”

However, in this highly technology advanced era, the existence of the orderly soldier was probably equivalent to the appendix to the human body—— useless.

Ran Qi immediately decided to lie down and laughed at the same time. He was ready to indulge in the online game, but who could tell him why this online game was the same as the RPG game where he spent countless RMB??!

Espers are guaranteed sufficient guiding in exchange for serving the state.... more>>

Except for runaway espers.

Runaway espers, due to their unstable metrics, are like ticking time bombs that could go on a rampage again at any moment.

Shin Joo-hyun, who went on a rampage immediately upon manifestation and spent 11 years being used by the Association like a dog, lived a life far removed from guiding despite being an esper.

In front of him appears Cha In-ho, a famous actor who manifested late at the age of 26 as a guide.

And he has come to be matched with a runaway esper.

“From now on, I will be your matching guide, Joo-hyun. Please take care of me.”

But this guide, for some reason, keeps acting like he knows Joo-hyun…

But he opened his eyes again and returned to before the arrival of the [End].

In the first attempt to conquer the [Last Dungeon], Cha Woowon died and Lee Danwoo managed to escape alone… What did he wish for?

“Are you okay? You’re covered in cold sweat.”

The young Cha Woowon, who didn’t know Lee Danwoo, spoke. Lee Danwoo nodded weakly.

“You’re crying.”

‘I know.’

He had plenty of regrets.

The most regrettable thing was before it all began,

Lee Danwoo returned.

“A monster is about to trample thirty people in front of us. If you intervene, you’ll die, but they can survive. What will you do?”

Without hesitation, Cha Woowon answered Lee Danwoo’s question.

“Stopping it seems like the right judgment.”

‘This guy is a good bastard…’

More urgent than strategy or anything else, there was a pressing issue.

Why did Cha Woowon die in the [Last Dungeon]?

Without a doubt, it was his good personality that was the problem.

I became the dedicated guide for cursed espers.... more>>

One cursed with insomnia.

One cursed with permanent phantom pain.

One cursed with mana overdrive.

And with my ability, I can alleviate their pain.

After experiencing my power, the espers tried to exploit it, and in the end, unable to resist the temptation of 1.2 billion won, I became their diligent worker ant.

Pretending it’s all part of the guiding process, I keep the truth of my powers hidden.

Though it was a bit uncomfortable when the impurities expelled themselves like coughing up blood after absorbing their curses, as it didn’t involve any real pain, I continued to fulfil my duties diligently.

But after the espers saw me coughing blood, they completely misunderstood the situation, and now they regret making me work so hard.

“I don’t want to see you in pain because of me, Idam.”

“Hyung, I hate seeing you struggle. It hurts me more.”

“If I could save you by giving my life, I would….”

"Let's at least achieve my dream before I die!"

“This shop has a rather... enthusiastic way of greeting its customers.”

“Y-You were so handsome, I thought you were a flower and tried to water you…”

The man she accidentally drenched turns out to be her perfectly matched Guide. Not only that, but their compatibility rate is an unbelievable 93%! This man might be the key to extending her life!

But something feels strange. He’s a complete stranger, yet why does she feel this sense of longing when she looks at him?

"Why haven't you asked me to Guide you?"

Baek Juwon closed the distance between them, his voice husky. Jae-Yi flinched as his large hand reached out to gently caress her wound.

"I can make this disappear in an instant."

"Let me take care of everything. Just stay still."

His voice alone was enough to paralyze her. Baek Juwon's eyes glittered dangerously as a wave of exhilarating Guiding washed over Jae-Yi, leaving her breathless. <<less

The protagonist of a war fantasy novel, Theo, competes with his rival and antagonist, Luke, for the position of Supreme Commander.... more>>

Having been reincarnated into Luke’s role, he struggles to fulfill his duties as the villain.

“It seems like principles as a soldier, the duties I should uphold, don’t matter to you at all.”

Even if misunderstood by Theo, Luke silently remained faithful to his role as the antagonist.

After completing all his duties, Luke successfully gave Theo his happy ending, cast aside his military uniform, and retired from the army.

Now, Luke planned to create his own future story without interference from anyone.

That was the plan, at least…

“Why go this far? I’m no longer a soldier, and if you really think about it, we were never on good terms anyway.”

To make matters worse, not only had he unexpectedly reunited with Theo, but now, Theo was persistently and seriously pressing him in a way he hadn’t imagined.

“I want to know you better.”

It was a completely incomprehensible statement, and it wasn’t even an appropriate answer to the question.

“I…” Oh-yul pressed his lips together for a moment as if choosing his words, then spoke again.

“I think I’m going to make too much food.”

“…?”

Not ‘made’ but ‘going to make’ – what an odd choice of words. Ho-woo tilted his head slightly as he looked up at Oh-yul. The esper before him wore a slightly troubled expression.

“So, would you like to have dinner together?” <<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
