“Damn, you’re so rough, seriously.”

“Do I need to be gentle? It’s not like we’re doing this out of love.”

Though it was merely a one-sided relationship with feelings on only one side, Shim Joohan thought that perhaps someday Woo Jiwoon might open his heart.

However.

“Code name Sei, as of this moment, you are a suspect in the mu*der of Team A leader Ling.”

Shim Joohan had become a suspect in the mu*der of Woo Jiwoon, the man he secretly loved.

It was already unfair to lose Woo Jiwoon, but to be accused of killing him? Shim Joohan felt he could no longer endure in a Hong Kong and Abyss without him. In the end, he turns the gun on himself.

“After all the effort to keep you alive, you want to die again?”

“…Woo Jiwoon.”

He’s alive. And somehow, against the scorching summer, they’ve returned to May. Whether this is a cruel nightmare or reality, Shim Joohan doesn’t know, but this time, he vows never to let Woo Jiwoon die.

“Even if it means dying in his place, I’ll protect him. If I did it once, what’s so hard about doing it twice?” <<less

The role of the worst villain is finally over!... more>>

After possessing the villain and nearly dying at the hands of my favorite character, who I’d given my heart and soul to, the story somehow managed to reach an ending.

[Congratulations (≧▽≦)

You have reached the conclusion fitting for the worst villain!

Sure, my body is sickly and weak, and all I have left is money, but who cares?

It was a wrong relationship from the start.... more>>

"Do you want to do this to the daughter of a woman you've slept with?"

"I preferred the woman's daughter."

Although she couldn't tell anyone about it, Seo-ha believed there was at least sincerity in this relationship.

Until she discovered that the feelings she thought they had shared were lies built on deception from the beginning.

Now, she no longer believed in love.

She decided she would offer her bodies for her goals but would not fall in love.

But still, I comforted myself that as long I don’t run into Kid the Killer, I should be able to live somehow.

As if laughing at my thoughts,

Kid came to see me on the first night.

“Is that what they call pretending to be asleep? Your acting is pretty good. Now, if you don’t wake up in the count of three—”

“Eek, I’m awake!”

He said that if I wanted to live, I needed to seduce his other personality, the high priest “Seniel”. He said Seniel would keep me alive as long as I became his most prized thing and his weakness.

But once I’ve become his weakness, will he spare me? Kid said he would kill me in due course to step on Seniel.

In the end, it’s a matter of dying now or dying later.

In the morning, Seniel was in tears.

“It’s all my fault.”

I kind of comforted him in order to survive. The only way I could live was to pretend to get close to him and run away while he was off guard. <<less

The S-Class guilds, High Tower and Ghost Eye, are notorious archrivals, having battled for years in the Alliance’s dungeon crystal ore market.... more>>

High Tower’s little young master, Lance, is a black lotus—calculating and ruthless beneath a harmless, sickly exterior.

Ghost Eye’s eldest young master, Zhan Pingchuan, is a classic “white cut black”—outwardly lazy and nonchalant, inwardly sharp and unfathomable.

Both conceal their identities to enroll in Star University, only to be assigned as roommates. Their pheromone compatibility? 100%. They share a kiss on day one.

Lance’s father: “Use your break to go undercover next door. Know your enemy, know yourself, and you’ll never lose.”

Zhan’s father: “Hide your identity, head across the hall, and get the lay of the land.”

After a night of tasting the marrow and knowing the flavor, Zhan Pingchuan strokes Lance’s delicate back and messages HR: “My wife, Lance, comes from a humble background and is frail. Take care of him, don’t let him suffer.”

The next morning, Lance tucks Zhan Pingchuan in and calls his sister: “My boyfriend, Zhan Pingchuan, is strong but sloppy. Give him a top salary so he has money to date me.”

Soon, the two great guilds are set to negotiate. Rumor has it, the heirs will attend.

Hundreds of media outlets wait with bated breath.

On the fateful day, the two heirs meet at the negotiation table. Tension crackles, war is about to erupt.

After a long silence, Lance moves.

Face icy, about to sit, when Zhan Pingchuan suddenly commands, “Don’t move!”

Zhan’s father: My son has a powerful aura!

Zhan Pingchuan strides over, unbuttons his bespoke suit worth over 100,000 credits, and tosses it—under Lance’s chair.

Zhan Pingchuan: “You’re just going to sit on such a hard chair without checking?”

Lance: “……”

Both fathers: “?”

One day, I found out that I was a side character in a hero comic book.... more>>

The original story is about heroes in leather jackets cleaning up criminals in a corrupted city.

My brother was the most powerful villain who was destined to fall at the hands of the heroes.

So, I decided to seduce the hero to change the downfall that awaited my brother and me.

However…

"What's this? You look like a squid. Stop being annoying and leave."

The protagonist of this world had a knack for inviting trouble with his sharp tongue.

***

One day, I found a half-dead man collapsed in the front yard.

And this man... He was the notorious hero from the original story.

The same hero who turned just as corrupt as the criminals he fought, becoming a moral-free anti-hero.

"You are a good person. I don't want to blow off a good person's head with my own hands."

So please, don't commit any crimes.

The anti-hero's chilling words sent shivers down my spine.

***

After escaping and hiding from my villain brother, the hero, and the anti-hero, it wasn't long before my brother found me—by joining forces with the hero.

"Being under my protection is safer than having a petty sense of freedom."

Being alive is what matters most, regardless of the kind of life I live.

My brother was angrier than I'd ever seen him in my life.

And then, the hero, his face filled with annoyance, said, "If you try to hide again, I'll make sure you never leave, even if it means throwing you in prison."

And as for the anti-hero, who left mountains of villain corpses in his pursuit of me, said, "Giselle. My love. Would you rather lose your head, or live like you're dead by my side?"

Oh merciful gods above, it seems this life is destined for ruin. <<less

Naturally, men are treated as precious by each country, and they’re provided everything they need for living. But that comes at a price. Men have obligations and they are but one cog in a society of females which follows strict rules and adheres to a harsh class-based ideology and traditions.

This story is similar to World End Harem in its underlying idea, but unlike the manga, it follows a violence-free approach, putting more focus on the system. It contains soft p*rn and later on s*x scenes, but no non-consensual s*x like r*pe or NTR. <<less

Yin Liuming suffered from severe insomnia, and when he couldn't sleep, he became irritable.... more>>

To solve this, he signed a contract with Shen Lou, the book spirit of the Nightmare Game illustration book, voluntarily entering the game. He offered his body as a sacrifice to collect monsters in exchange for a chance to cure his insomnia.

And so, the players in the game discovered that this newcomer who partnered with them was a two-faced person.

During the day, Yin Liuming was gentle and humble, winning people over with his integrity. He elegantly subdued the monster as he remarked, “A two-star, mhm… I guess it can barely be used.”

At night, Yin Liuming was violent and easily irritated, subduing monsters with brute force. He would beat and tear apart any monster that dared provoke him, then ruthlessly add it to his illustration book. "Three stars, useless."

Other players, exhausted and struggling to survive, watched Yin Liuming's performance. Their faces change from shock to numbness.

—While other players are fighting to survive, you’re out here hunting monsters?

After another morning of grumpiness, Yin Liuming nearly destroyed half the instance.

Shen Lou smiled. “You want to sleep? I can help with that.”

Yin Liuming glanced sideways at Shen Lou. “You’re stronger than a five-star monster?”

“You can give it a try.”

Then he did give it a try.

Soon, Yin Liuming realized that Shen Lou was indeed more powerful than a five-star monster.

In every sense.

In the past, he had terrible trouble sleeping. Now, he has trouble getting out of bed.

He initially believed Shen Lou wanted his body, and it turned out that Shen Lou really did. <<less

Hush is a thrilling crime novel filled with all-villain characters. The protagonist and supporting cast wreak havoc in a sinful city, committing heinous acts and leaving readers exclaiming, “What the hell!”... more>>

In the end, everyone meets a miserable demise.

Shen Yan transmigrates into the story.

And becomes the protagonist’s neighbor.

The protagonist, the leader of a crime syndicate, is a god-tier maniac who single-handedly builds a team of villains, leads them in chaos, and, out of sheer boredom, orchestrates their collective downfall.

A dark twist on the “overpowered protagonist” trope.

The neighbor, Shen Yan, is the protagonist’s first henchman, a fervent admirer who, under the protagonist’s influence, practically offers up his heart as a token of love.

Shen Yan (closing his eyes): “Not bad. A heart-and-soul kind of brother.”

With no money to move, he has no choice but to adapt in order to survive.

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Shen Yan decides to emulate the protagonist’s persona to stay alive.

Are you a lunatic? Me too!

Do you hate idiots? Me too!

Do you want to destroy the world? Haha, surprise, me too!

Successfully pretending to be a maniac, he becomes the protagonist’s closest friend.

The protagonist brands a kiss on his hand, interlocking their fingers, his eyes deep and brimming with an unnerving fervor.

“You’re the only one worthy to stand by my side.”

Later, Shen Yan saves up enough money and decisively flees. To ensure no loose ends, he betrays the lunatics and gets them locked up in Star Prison for ten thousand years.

Then he fakes his death, assumes a new identity, and sneaks off to a remote planet.

After two carefree years, he sees a news broadcast where the host calmly reports an update on the Star Prison:

“On July 28th, Star Year 136, a crime syndicate led by a certain Ruan has successfully broken out of Star Prison. Citizens are advised to...”

The host’s mouth keeps moving, but Shen Yan hears nothing.

The protagonist hugs him from behind, resting his chin on his shoulder.

The red-haired fugitive points at Shen Yan’s wanted poster on TV and laughs loudly.

The fragile scam artist hides under the dining table, clutching Shen Yan’s ankle, trembling.

The cold arsonist pulls out a chair to sit across from him, lights the tablecloth on fire, and smiles at him through the flames.

“Baby,” the protagonist murmurs, kissing Shen Yan’s temple.

“This time, how are you planning to run?”

Shen Yan (surprisingly calm): “Haha, what a lively reunion!” <<less

I became a part of that novel as the tr*sh of the Count’s family, the family that oversaw the territory where the first village that Choi Han visits is located.

The problem is that Choi Han becomes twisted after that village, and everyone in it, is destroyed by assassins.

The bigger problem is the fact that this s*upid tr*sh who I’ve become doesn’t know about what happened in the village and messes with Choi Han, only to get beaten to a pulp.

“I thought this earlier too—you’ve got good instincts. You’re still dreaming, but with that level of awareness, you could become quite the talent.”

Dohyun checked his watch and gave a chilling smile.

“Well, whatever. After dying a few more times, you’ll fully wake up.”

“Yeah. Living in a dream you might never wake up from—that’s frustrating, isn’t it? Don’t worry. I’ll wake you up soon.”
