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.

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.

Jiang Tea Tea, a Green Tea Tree Spirit, wanted nothing more than to showcase her talents and share the benefits of Green Tea with everyone in the Demon Realm. In a moment of carelessness, she took a bath in the river, only to end up drowning.... more>>

As a result, she became the object of ridicule: a child without the love of her father, ignored by her mother, disapproved of by her elder brother, and scorned by her younger sister. Even the True Daughter wanted to beat her up, the Fiancé kicked her aside, and with no supernatural abilities, she was sent off as a worthless gift—a Fake Daughter, a mere cabbage of the family.

As a Green Tea Tree Spirit, Jiang Tea Tea could have endured the embarrassment of a bath gone wrong. But to be passed around as a mere gift, a thing to be discarded… she could no longer stand it. [You can bear a lot, but a tree has its limits.]

Fueled by anger, she fought back, and in a reckless moment of defiance, she unknowingly slept with a man.

One night of passion, and soon after, she found herself pregnant.

Jiang Tea Tea stared in disbelief. “What in the world is going on?” How could this Green Tea Tree Spirit, who had always lived a simple life, now have a little tea tree, a Little Cub, growing inside her?

Meanwhile, the Golden Dragon Clan of the Imperial Royal Family faced a dire predicament. Their lineage was struggling with low fertility—there was only one uncle and his nephew left.

The uncle, known as the madman Regent, was 150 years old, and infamous for his bachelorhood—”the unmarried master”—while his nephew was only seventeen, struggling through adolescence and still craving milk at night.

The rest of the Dragon Race eagerly awaited the extinction of the Golden Dragons, eager to snatch the throne, but they never expected this family to have a child!

The unexpected presence of the Little Cub, with its royal aura, not only struck fear into the hearts of the entire Dragon Race but also forced people from all other races to bow in submission.

However, there was one problem. The Little Cub’s aura appeared only intermittently, and Regent was unable to locate either the child or its mother!

Kwon Yijae, a director of the British defense industry company "Quantum," visits Korea to oversee the confidential Project K. There, he encounters Shin Jeha, an esper who has been dying for five years due to the absence of a guide with a compatible wavelength.... more>>

“He doesn’t seem like an esper.”

With an appearance too frail and youthful to be an esper, Shin Jeha, an esper with a deathly pale complexion that looks like he could collapse at any moment, begins to fiercely pursue Kwon Yijae after a chance encounter.

“Director. I can endure it. I’ve endured all this time, no matter how much it hurt… You can do whatever you want. I’m an esper… and espers… don’t die.”

To stay with the sadistic guide, Shin Jeha enters into a contract with him.

The frequency and method of guiding are determined based on the guide’s preferences and convenience.

An utterly unjust form of contract. <<less

Cen Xun is a folklore professor at H University—beautiful, young, and captivating countless students in every class. ... more>>

His life follows a monotonous routine, calm and uneventful, until an unexpected fall from a building. After resurrecting, Cen Xun suddenly discovers the secrets of this world.

For example, his life is actually repeating in a daily cycle: his husband prepares breakfast on time, drops him off at the university precisely on schedule, and in the evening, their time spent in intimacy is accurate to the second.

For example, he can hear the thoughts of those around him and learns that a group of individuals calling themselves “players” has infiltrated his students.

“Awooo! Our professor is just too stunning—third time checking in! Gotta take a selfie!”

“I can’t bear to part with our gorgeous professor. It’s rare for the dog game to have such a beautiful model, but sadly, H University is about to become a B-rank Eerie Domain. The professor isn’t a main character, so he’ll probably be cannon fodder in the end, wuwuwu.”

Cen Xun sneered. Cannon Fodder? Impossible.

At last, his dull life encounters a ripple. Amused by his own dark sense of humor, Cen Xun decides—why not stir the waters even more?

Holographic Horror Game [Nightmare World] Forum

Player 1: “Can the officials explain the B-rank Eerie Domain ‘Lost Campus’? I teamed up with a top-100 ranked expert to run it three times, and we got completely wiped out every time. How is this fair?”

Player 2: “Are you living under a rock? This instance was upgraded to an S-rank instance ages ago. Apparently, the boss absorbed other Eerie Domains and even allied with several Domain Lords. The monsters from different instances now visit each other like neighbors—winning is a joke.”

Player 3: “I’ve lost all hope. The Dean of the Media College is the S+ level ‘Thousand-Eyed Reporter’ from the TV Station instance, the Dean of Computer Science is an infamous entity with game-wide bounty, and even the cafeteria worker at the food window is an S-level Domain Lord! So, tell me, what rank is the Chancellor?”

Player 4: “My beloved Professor Cen is kind, gentle, and weak—surrounded by all these powerhouses, he’s definitely going to be bullied, wuwuwu.”

In 《Nightmare World》, all players share one common White Moonlight.

Before transformation, he was a cold-faced yet warm-hearted folklore professor who willingly sacrificed himself to save students from the corrupted Chancellor—earning the tears of countless players.

After transformation, he became a mysterious and eerie existence, yet still showed goodwill toward players. To protect his students, he dared to challenge Domain Lords alone, taking on high-level monsters in extreme battles.

He was the one pure and noble soul among demons and ghosts.

Players, deeply moved by their professor’s kindness, swore to repay him—rushing to the front lines, willing to spill their blood in his name.

As the game progressed, the system announced the final mission: all players were about to face the ultimate boss—"Gui Sun" level Eldritch God.

On the day of the final battle, players stood ready for war, eyes locked on the highest point, where top-tier nightmare entities gathered.

Then, a familiar figure appeared with elegance.

“My dear students, and my… husband. I hope you have been well.”

Every player’s pupils shook in horror.

Wait, my gentle and delicate White Moonlight Professor is actually the Final Boss?!

One night, after discovering the truth about this world, Cen Xun hurried home, intending to take his husband and escape.

But as he packed their clothes, he suddenly heard his husband’s thoughtful inner voice:

“His behavior has suddenly changed. Could there be a bug in the program? Should I have the team work overtime to fix it?”

…

Cen Xun slowly stopped packing, lifted his head, and gave his husband a deadly smile.

“He smiles so beautifully… I want to keep him trapped in this game forever.”

His seemingly upright and abstinent husband was secretly thinking such things.

In another world, it all began with inheriting the name of Hydra. The essence of the Hydra: Cut off one head, two more shall grow. Owen's philosophy: For every base exposed, two more shall be built.... more>>

Yan Xu, a novel enthusiast, transmigrates into the body of Owen Hydra, a Viscount in the barren Northern Border. Inheriting a crumbling castle, meager resources, and a handful of loyal subjects, Owen's dream of aristocratic luxury is shattered. His only hope lies in a slowly booting-up system from a corrupted hard drive. As the system partially activates, granting him access to a trove of abilities and units from various video games, Owen begins to rebuild his territory. He navigates political intrigues, bandit raids, barbarian threats, and the mysteries of a world with magic, utilizing his gaming knowledge to establish a hidden power base and amass a loyal following. Balancing his reliance on the system with developing the skills of his people, Owen strives to secure his position and carve a place for himself in this new world, all while trying to unlock the full potential of his game-based golden finger. <<less

A dirt spoon, Noh Hyeji, whose resentment over not owning a home runs deep.... more>>

But now, she’s a Guide Spoon?!

Apparently, that’s what it means to be an S-Class contact-type Guide.

(She decided to forget the fact that she only scored an F in radiative guiding.)

After six relentless years of saving money while working as the exclusive Guide and secretary of Han Kanghyeon, the strongest S-Class Esper alive…

Ta-da! She’s pregnant!

〈 If Party A (Guide) becomes pregnant due to negligence in contraception, the contract is immediately terminated once Party B (Esper) becomes aware of the pregnancy. 〉

〈 Party B may claim damages from Party A for violation of this clause. 〉

No! My precious apartment!

She finally bought her lifelong dream, a Han River view apartment, with a 20% mortgage, only to face the possibility of it turning to nothing.

She doesn’t want to leave Kanghyeon for another Esper. It’s not that she’s particularly attached to the CEO himself, she just likes his money.

Just when all seems lost, a loophole in the contract shines a ray of hope.

〈 Once Party B becomes aware of the pregnancy 〉

So as long as the CEO doesn’t find out, it’s fine?

“It’s not your baby, CEO.”

“…You had a boyfriend?”

“Yes.”

“……”

Defend the Han River view apartment at all costs!

But why does Hyeji’s desperate struggle to avoid contract termination keep spiraling out of control…? <<less

The story revolves around Aoi Souma, a beautiful young boy who voraciously gathered knowledge and has now regained memories of his past life. It's a near-future world, undoubtedly set in Japan, but not a world that exists on an extension of his previous life.... more>>

The society is significantly skewed towards a female majority, humanity has awakened to supernatural powers, and they are threatened by invaders known as "Klansies."

In this society, where males are managed by the state for the continuation of humanity, the norms are different. Women long for contact with men, and men engage in intimate relations out of a sense of duty. In such a world of values, Aoi Souma, with his unchanged s*xual desires and sensibilities from his past life, is an anomaly.

This is a tale of a young boy who, in a dystopian society that is not an exaggeration to describe as controlled, strives to establish an ideal harem life safely and surely. <<less

S-rank Esper Yeo Eundo went on a rampage, turning his surroundings into utter chaos.... more>>

As a guide, I watched from a distance, merely a spectator—until Yeo Eundo, in his berserk state, ended up reverse-guiding me. A normal low-ranked guide would have died instantly…

“Come here.”

There was no need to treat this beast like a person.

My guiding rank was L. <<less

I transmigrated.... more>>

I became a side character Guide who dies unable to withstand the power of the S-Class Transcendent male lead.

The story goes that the male lead, traumatized by my death, overcomes it after meeting the heroine.

For his growth and romance, I’m supposed to obediently become a sacrifice, but…

“…Do you think I want to just die quietly?”

What’s more, my death also becomes the trigger for the villain here to develop a terrible hatred for the male lead.

Why? Because I’m his older sister. Damn it.

‘As the head of the family, there’s no way I can die and leave behind my cunning but lovable younger brother.’

So I decided.

There’s no reason this story absolutely has to have trauma.

So first, I’ve got to survive. I started looking for a way to change my death.

“I can keep secrets very well. Why don’t you test how obedient I can be to you, senior?”

“It’s because it’s you, senior—not anyone else.”

“I don’t need any Guide but you. I want to be loyal only to you, senior.”

Just what’s the problem here, in the middle of all this headache.

“Cadet Ortis, have you perhaps been hiding your rank?”

S-Class.

Even my rank has become strange. <<less

Tonight, once again, he yearned for her purification.... more>>

It had been an unhappy life.

Despite possessing the power of purification, Irene was deemed the lowest rank, never having received anyone’s love or acceptance in her short life. Even in her final moments, she died alone and lonely, yet strangely, she found herself back in the past.

And not just any past but right before meeting her husband, Michael, the man she had ruined.

‘This is the first mistake I must correct in this life. That is…not getting involved with Michael.’

*

However, Michael seems peculiar.

"I... I need you. Please purify me."

He asked for purification first.
A paladin, this holy man, comes to me every night.

"Irene. My pair. My wife. Tonight, I want to be cleansed by you. Long and slow."

You were definitely a paladin in a previous life who wouldn't even lay a finger on me, right? <<less

Lu Liran, the former deputy captain of the first federal mobile team, disappeared in a great war, and his life and death are unknown.... more>>

Seriously injured in the war, lingering on his last breath and penniless, Lu Liran was luckily bound by the survival system.

Under the tasks issued by the system——

The Giant at thirty degrees below zero, conquer the Arlok Glacier;

In the No Man’s land under the black wind and sand, travel deep into the oasis in the hinterland of Salba Desert;

The Island in the Sky under the blue sky, the challenge of surviving on an uninhabited island;

The Blue Hole in the Endless Abyss, exploring deep sea wrecks and lost ancient cities;

The Muddy Lands, the Forest of White Bones, gathering specialties of the Ghost Forest Swamp;

The Lord of Fire, the giant dragon lurking on the ground……

[System additional rewards: Turn on the live broadcast function and automatically access the interstellar live broadcast platform]
Therefore, in the Desolate Star that hates the federal army the most, a man with a disfigured face and mysterious identity quietly appeared in the top ten dangerous uninhabited regions of Desolate Star. In exchange for rich bounty rewards by hunting rare and exotic beasts that ordinary people can’t hunt, and the live broadcast of wilderness survival, he also started rapidly sweeping the entire planet.

“Ah, the anchor looks so scary, no one dares to marry such an Alpha no matter how powerful he is!”

“??? Brother Lu, I can! Marry me! The sense of security is at max level, like!”

“The anchor is really a god. This is the first time I’ve seen someone at the top of this year’s list of Desolate Star’s Most Attractive Alpha + Least Wanted to Marry Alpha at the same time…”

[Ding——Basic rewards for missions: The progress of the appearance restoration is full, and the appearance restoration has been completed]
During a live broadcast, a heavy rain washed away the scar on Lu Liran’s face.

The whole live room is boiling!!!

“Marry me, marry me! Brother, marry me!”

After the live broadcast was closed, another man, so handsome that people subconsciously held their breath, appeared. He surrounded Lu Liran’s body and whispered: “You’ve been missing for so many years with my cub, when are you going to give me a name?”

Lu Liran: “…”

Yes, this is still an old-fashioned story of O pretending to be A and running away with joy.

…

His Excellency, the First Commander of the Federal Army, disappeared suddenly in the peaceful post-war era. Until one day, everyone noticed that he appeared in a live broadcast room, happily pretending to be a s*upid human-shaped pendant, and unscrupulously pestering a male anchor with a terrifying face.

“Official announcement, this is the commander’s wife.” His Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief of the Federation, said so.

Five years later, the upper agency offers him yet another match. Ready to refuse again, Jihyun is caught off guard when the new candidate, a clean-cut and handsome man named Sangwoo, declares it was love at first sight—and refuses to back down.

Still haunted by the emotional scars from previous guides, Jihyun is reluctant to trust Sangwoo.

But little by little, Sangwoo’s sincerity begins to break through Jihyun’s walls.

Just as Jihyun finally begins to think this time might be different, Sangwoo’s behavior begins to raise new questions—for different reasons. <<less

It had been a year since I possessed this body, and I finally discovered the identity of the original character.... more>>

But… I was revealed to be Evelyn, a handmaid who would help the runaway of the future imperial prince, Caesar.

My only way to survive was to control Prince Caesar’s rampage and raise him to the throne.

“I have to find Your Highness’s guide. Contacting a guide will allow you to awaken your abilities without going into a rampage.”

In an attempt to survive a little longer, I set out to find his guide… only to discover that I was the one and only guide?

Moreover,

“I have no reason to dislike Your Majesty.”

“Then that’s good, isn’t it?”

“…Huhh?”

“If you don’t dislike it, then it’s good.”

As I was gradually preparing to leave the palace, the newly crowned Emperor looked at me with sparkling eyes.

He held both of my hands tightly, as if he had no intention of letting go.

I had only awakened him, so why was he following me around like a drenched puppy?

And why wasn’t the rampage stopping?

“It’s about time for me to vomit blood, isn’t it?”

“Why would you say I’m going to vomit blood in front of me? Why?”

Unbeknownst to him, I was eavesdropping when Caesar gazed lazily and whispered.

“I need to go on a rampage… so that Evelyn won’t leave me.”

At that moment, the door I had been waiting for opened, and our eyes met.

His sky-blue irises were stained with bewilderment. <<less

Taeeun, the Center’s flawless SS-rank Guide, is sent above ground to investigate abnormal phenomena—only to be ambushed by a mysterious Sentinel named Sihyeon.

After the attack, something unexpected happens.

Taeeun, who had never been able to match with anyone due to his overwhelming abilities, is forcibly bonded to Sihyeon—who begins using him as nothing more than a “guiding tool.”

Meanwhile, Sihyeon, who entered the Center thanks to his dangerously violent power, can’t stand how Taeeun, despite having everything stolen from him, still refuses to submit.

Infuriated by Taeeun’s defiance, Sihyeon is torn between the urge to utterly destroy him—and the desire to make him completely, undeniably his.

But Taeeun, who shudders at the very thought of Sihyeon, only pushes him away.

To make matters worse, Taeeun suddenly undergoes a dual manifestation as a Sentinel himself—and becomes doubly bonded to Junwon, a Guide who has harbored unspoken love for him for years… <<less

A big shot from a research institute in the apocalypse is reborn as a little village beauty in that era.... more>>

A few years later, the upper echelons of Kyoto's elite circles are shaken. The unruly and arrogant Crown Prince of the Gu family has actually taken a fancy to a village girl.

It is said that this village beauty is also the village bully, lazy, fierce, and uneducated, and her entire family is made up of oddballs!

How can a village girl be compared to the young ladies of the upper class? Everyone mocks Song Chu.

However…

Big shots in animal husbandry and planting; a magnate in the catering industry; the founder of an educational institution; the richest person in the country... one after another, they declare, "I owe all my success today to my Little Sister, Song Chu!"

Everyone is collectively dumbfounded: Really? We don't believe it!

But then, on the same day, the country's top biopharmaceutical research institute officially announces: "Congratulations to Dr. Song Chu for winning the International Pharmaceutical Gold Award, and thank you to Dr. Song for leading us to become the world's most advanced pharmaceutical organization."

This is immediately followed by an article lavishly praising her, along with a photo of her holding the trophy.

Looking at the fair-skinned, beautiful, and exceptionally elegant Dr. Song, everyone's jaws drop. What happened to the rustic and uneducated village girl? This is clearly a beautiful, cool, and talented winner in life…

At the same time, the Crown Prince of the Gu family, who is also a tech giant, approaches Song Chu: "How about taking responsibility for me first..."

✿✿✿

In a world ravaged by the apocalypse, Song Chu, a brilliant but solitary biologist, met an untimely end. However, her story didn't end there. She awakens in 1975, in the body of a notorious village bully in rural China, a woman with the same name but a vastly different reputation. This Song Chu is known for her laziness, fierce temper, and a hopeless infatuation with the handsome educated youth, Gu Yue.

Adding to the bizarre situation, Song Chu discovers that her state-of-the-art laboratory from the apocalypse has inexplicably followed her, split in half, with the other half now residing within Gu Yue's mind. To regain her full laboratory and understand this strange phenomenon, she must cooperate with the very man her host body once harassed.

As Song Chu navigates this new reality, she decides to use her knowledge and skills from the future to improve the lives of her newfound family and the impoverished village. She sets her sights on revolutionizing the village's agricultural practices, starting with an oil pressing workshop and dreaming of larger ventures like a chicken farm and food processing factory. Along the way, she confronts her host body's past misdeeds, reforms her troublemaking brothers, and deals with the jealous schemes of her former best friend.

Amidst her ambitious plans, Song Chu finds herself drawn to the intellectual and enigmatic Gu Yue. Their forced partnership blossoms into a complex relationship as they work together, sharing knowledge and challenging each other's perspectives. As Song Chu strives to uplift her village and secure a brighter future, she must also navigate the delicate balance between her growing connection with Gu Yue and her desire to remain independent. <<less

Seonwoo, a mental-type S-Class Esper raised under strict surveillance and control at the Center, was trained to suppress all emotion. Even when other Espers hurled insults or lashed out violently, he never once retaliated. He simply followed orders.

But in front of Ki Sihyeon, a fellow S-Class Esper and his teammate—the only one who ever treated him like a person—keeping his emotions in check became a challenge. After all, he’d been in love with him for a long time.

Yet Ki Sihyeon already had someone. A sweet, kind guide named Yoo Sejin. Because of that, Seonwoo never even considered confessing.

Then one day, Sejin ends up in a vegetative state after trying to save Seonwoo. Wracked with guilt, Seonwoo braces for Sihyeon’s anger...

But instead, Sihyeon says something cryptic.
