The Soaring Dragon Continent is a world of summons, where you can only become strong if you become a summoner!... more>>

Yue Yang, an average high school boy, was suddenly kicked into this world. When he woke up, he was greeted with a lot of worried faces and found out that he had assumed another person’s identity. Turns out he’s the good-for-nothing third son of the Yue Family, who had just recently drowned himself because of a failed engagement.

Unlike the third son of the Yue Family who was useless in summoning, Yue Yang succeeded in making a contract with a summoning grimoire on his first try, even when the other guy failed for the past fifteen years. Others would have a headache making contracts with beasts afterwards, but countless beasts tried to gain favour with Yue Yang instead, acting like a good kid before him.

Yue Yang the brat, however, didn’t feel grateful at all: “Scram, Mythical Beasts! Do you think you are cool like that? Go away from me now, I only like beautiful summons!”

Even when royal families approached him for his talents, the shameless brat replied, “I’m not interested in government stuff, I’m only interested in beauties!” <<less

Yan Yu was a human military cadet.... more>>

He attended a military academy jointly established by humans and Zerg after the century-long war ended.

He thought the leaders of both races were a little crazy. He didn't know how they came up with such a brilliant idea of having human students and Zerg students, who could tear mechas apart with their bare hands, be classmates.

His plan for his future was to diligently gather intelligence on his Zerg classmates while at school. After graduation, he would take this firsthand intelligence to the front lines, bravely fight against humanity’s nemesis, the Zerg, and thus get promoted, raise his salary, and climb the social ladder.

However, one day, Yan Yu was injured after training, and his blood dripped onto a male Zerg pheromone detection kit that came as a free gift with a purchase.

He watched as the kit suddenly lit up with a red light, indicating male Zerg identity.

Yan Yu: …?

Lol, the enemy is me.

＊

To save the Human Alliance in the midst of war, Yan Yu had to go to the Zerg and marry Major General Manuel.

The beautiful female soldier looked at him with arrogance and disdain. “We are only married by agreement, each taking what we need. You just need to be a good tool.”

Yan Yu, firmly believing he was human, breathed a sigh of relief: It just so happened that he didn’t want to be in a relationship with a bug either.

He readily agreed.

However, some time later…

This arrogant and reserved female Zerg lost control, choked his neck, and, like a dog drenched in the rain, asked him tearfully, “Do I have to surrender for you to love me?”

Several years later, he encounters and fights a monster outside his village, finally awakening a deep, profound feeling inside of him.

He’s delighted by the seemingly powerful and handsome hero, but it turns out the hero is a low-level character with no memories or proper weapons…?

“The one who awakened the long-slumbering dead must be you, right?”

Perhaps due to his height and sturdy build, the man exuded an overwhelming aura. Even the shabby armor and worn shovel in his hand couldn’t diminish his presence.

“Why are you asking me that…?”

He must use any means to survive and witness the end of the world.

Li Wei, who was hit by a speeding truck, came to the world of a GALGAME unexpectedly and became the handsome Count Riber Caempret with a stone-cold face.... more>>

Due to Riber’s slightly bizarre death, Li Wei always felt that there was someone next to him who wanted to harm him.

The indifferent maid seemed to be the minion of a mysterious organization, the chef who had lousy cooking skills dared to confront his master, the honest and loyal housekeeper could ride a flying horse, and even the rickety gardener could jump ten meters high.

The most important thing was that Riber was so handsome that he was not the protagonist, but a villain.

So, looking at “Holy Maiden” who was locked in the dungeon by the previous owner of his current body, and looking at the triggered plot called “Kaemprett’s Karmic Fire”, Li Wei felt that he was probably not far away from death. <<less

This stands at the forefront of strategy guides to Life (a shitty video game)!... more>>

Life is a bad video game. This commonplace phrase is, unfortunate as it might be, the truth.

After all, Life has no simple, easy rules. The rules it does have are nothing but irrational and unfair. The strong claim that Life has a high level of freedom, but the weak have no choice but to cope with an overwhelmingly disadvantageous design.

That’s why it’s a sh*t game.

Since I, Japan’s leading gamer who has experienced and mastered a multitude of games, say so, there can be no mistake.

— However, that person, on top of having mastered gaming to about the same level as I, declared to me that Life is a god-tier game.

Destined to be a top-tier character, that person is the school’s perfect heroine, Hinami Aoi. And to top it off, she even says she will teach me the rules of Life?

…… Normally, I wouldn’t believe such a thing. However, Hinami Aoi is someone who does not fit into a frame like ‘normal’ at all!
