From the beginning, it was a paradoxical encounter.... more>>

“A clean body for someone in the mafia.”

She, the agent—

“I don't like drawing on my body, so I haven’t.”

—and he, the mafia boss, met.

“But if you want it.”

His steps were elegant and dignified. Why was someone in the mafia even graceful?

“I could at least engrave your name.”

He picked up a pen with the unusually long space between his middle and index fingers. He pulled off the pen cap with his lips and spat it on the floor, then rolled up one sleeve.

A black line from the pen drew across his pale skin.

{Hye-young}

Hye-young. A name her Italian adoptive parents insisted she keep, saying the Korean name was beautiful.

“How is it? Do you think it’ll look pretty?”

Looking at his elegantly drawn handwriting, Hye-young replied.

“… What if I say it will?”

“If you say it’s pretty,”

A sinister light shimmered in his eyes.

“I’ll engrave it right now.”

Why was it that, at the mention of him engraving a tattoo on his arm, the space between her legs tightened?

“You… really…”

One thing was for sure—He really was a madman. <<less

Mu Huiyue, an avid Pokémon fan, finds herself transported to a modern world where humans coexist with extraordinary creatures.... more>>

Animals, plants, insects, undead, and even natural phenomena—all things on this planet can transform into powerful magical beasts. In this world, people form contracts with these mystical creatures, living, studying, and working alongside them. Beast tamers are the rising stars of society.

Mu Huiyue quickly embraces her new reality and sets her sights on becoming an elite beast tamer. With dreams of forming contracts with stunning, powerful creatures, attending the prestigious Beast Taming University, competing in national battle tournaments, and becoming the world champion, she embarks on an epic adventure with her contract partners.

As fate would have it, Mu Huiyue rises to the top, standing on the world’s greatest battle stage. On the eve of her final showdown, she glimpses a poster of herself with her contract beasts:

On her left stands a headless knight wrapped in dark mist, on her right, a one-eyed grim reaper gripping a massive scythe, and behind her, a ghostly white wolf howls beneath the moon. In the center stands Mu Huiyue, dressed in black, her eyes deeper and darker than the night.

Mu Huiyue: "…This isn’t exactly how I imagined things?"

Mu Huiyue: "Oh well, as long as I win, it doesn’t matter."

Thus begins the rise of the youngest Dark-Type King in the history of the Alliance. <<less

Poor theater actor Lee Soo-hyun.... more>>

He fainted after being hit by a falling light, and when he opened his eyes, he possessed a character in “The Blue Knight of the Holy Sword”, a novel that was discontinued due to unpopularity.

What's more, he transmigrated into the body of Arendt von Eckhart, who betrayed the Knights Templar and was destined to be executed soon.

The only thing left for the character who has completed his or her role on stage is to exit. In other words, there is only death... Character interpretation can vary depending on the actor playing it.

“Please take care of me, you traitorous bastard.”

In order to survive, he must create a role other than that of Arendt, the 'traitor', even if it means twisting the story.

Now, the life-threatening method acting begins! <<less

One fateful day, a girl time slipped into the Sengoku Era.... more>>

Rast’s time was hopelessly frozen on the same day after transmigrating into the western fantasy game Snow Moon Emblem.... more>>

No matter what he did, when dusk arrived, the resurrected Old God would erase the entire city known as Deep Blue Port, along with every trace Rast had left behind.

Time would rewind, and everything would begin again.

He had once been joyful, using endless time to pursue various women, studying the most obscure and remote books in the library, honing each of his skills to perfection...

He had also despaired, attempting to prevent the descent of the evil god, only to fall into utter hopelessness amidst endless failures...

Until that day, after three hundred years of rewinding and failing, when Rast once again, in his mortal body, faced the Old God head-on, he saw a figure that absolutely should not have appeared.

“Eh? According to history, Deep Blue Port should have been destroyed by the aftermath of the divine descent.”

The poster girl from the game cover, the 「Azure Silver Sword Saint」 Shiltina, was staring at him with a face full of confusion.

“And also, who is this strange Historical Echo instance NPC, and why is there absolutely no record of him in the chronicles?”

Rast: ?

So this is a replica projected from past history, and I’m just an NPC in the historical instance?

So, I’ve been playing the beta server for a whole three hundred years?

……

Breaking free from the shackles of time, the prisoner shattered the cage of history.

And thus——

A player more terrifying than any boss was born. <<less

But as she continued to live quietly, how did she become the Miss Ruyi whom everyone respected?

Wangfu Wet Nurse: The desolate patch of land in a corner of the side room is now green with vegetables. It seems this girl wasn't lying; she's the daughter of an old farmer.

Client A: The yard-sweeping girl who recently arrived actually knows carpentry. Is it true that in this world, women are used like men and men are used like oxen and horses?

Street Vendor Outside the Gate: Even for a rough maid in the Prince's Mansion, her accounting is incredibly fast and accurate. Miss, can you teach me?

Advisor B: Who exactly revised that dropped document? It's making him uneasy about his promotion to advisor in the Prince's Mansion!

Who is it? Who on earth is it?

She wrote a family letter for a colleague, and the letter was intercepted.

The letter arrived on a certain Prince's desk. The small, elegant script was flowing, dignified, clear, and graceful, truly the work of a master.

A certain Prince looked up: Is this the "old maid" you claimed could absolutely not be an enemy spy?

Shen Ruyi: …

Clearly, he's an old man. She even thought the ox was too old, right?

A certain Prince: …

[The tutorial begins. Build a dungeon and defend against monsters.] ... more>>

A world where demons rule the continent.

I was thrust into the game Reverse Dungeon, where survival depends on mastering “Dungeon Defense.”

And I became the most useless character: Prince Ian.

As Jung Yiwon, a seasoned veteran of the game, I must gather 4-star heroes at all costs to defend the dungeon.

But one day, I encounter a character who doesn’t exist in the game: The 5-star hero, Holy Knight Keith.

“You follow the will of the gods. It is an honor to meet you here.”

Keith? He’s not supposed to appear in Ian’s storyline. After all, Keith is supposed to be a playable character like Ian.

“Wait, is he really here? Does that mean I can recruit other playable characters too?”

Excited by the possibility of discovering a hidden route, the game veteran Ian tries to recruit Keith. But things don’t go as planned.

“Is it truly your will to protect the traitor’s kin?”

Keith’s sword presses against Ian’s throat as his hostile eyes pierce him.

This is a story about a demon and a manga. ... more>>

Previously a human, Yuan Yuan Yuan had accidentally became a half-demon. As a half-demon, she abided by the rules of the demon realm, and wholeheartedly attempted to keep her identity as a half-demon under wraps.

However, her peaceful life came to a halt after that one night — she disguised herself and saved a human from a demon.

One week later, when she was flipping through her favourite manga that she had been following, she suddenly discovered that the plot contained a disconcertingly familiar sight.

A black haired demon… had saved a human from another demon…

With his extraordinary abilities, strikingly handsome, aristocratic face and enigmatic background, the male demon quickly rose in fame as a 2D fiction character. Yuan Yuan Yuan looked at the latest chapter of the manga, flabbergasted, before she decided to quietly chomp on some chips and choose to selectively close both eyes — none of this is real!

Soon, she realised there was a pattern to this. Ever since that night, there was a very high chance that the things she did would appear in the manga.

In fact, whatever occured in the manga were things that had happened in reality as well. Therefore, in order to stay alive, Yuan Yuan Yuan had to try her best to hide her identity

As time passed, those that were interested in such unsolved mysteries came to realise the uncanny similarities between the manga and reality, and the pattern that it appeared to follow. And so, they started searching for these 2D characters in the real world. <<less

At the age of five, Liu Ying awakened memories of his past life as a modern person and learned about the "history" of this life. His memories were very vague. Apart from knowing that he was born five years earlier than in "history," he only had a vivid impression of his father, Liu Bang, trying to depose him as crown prince and push him to his death, and his mother, Lü Zhi, placing a human pig in the toilet to scare him to death. How could he tolerate this?! ... more>>

Liu Ying immediately stole his father's favorite sword and his mother's favorite lacquer box and threw them into the river to retaliate against his parents' lack of benevolence and kindness.
