Known as the Monster in the Iron Mask, the Devil of the Northern Front, the Smiling Executioner, he bears many fierce nicknames, each a testament to the multitude of enemies he’s made. Showing even a hint of weakness meant a certain and brutal end, torn apart mercilessly.... more>>

So, much as I loathe the idea, as much as I detest it, I must perfectly embody ‘Julian’. I have to become the sinister, deranged character with narrow eyes that everyone in the empire fears.

Character Trait [Polite Speech]: You, without exception, address everyone, children and adults alike, with respect.

“Can’t one’s soliloquy be a little exaggerated?” <<less

Jungmin (Soo)’s close older brother and first love, Yoo Shinwoo, dreams of marrying an Omega and building a sweet, loving family.... more>>

For this reason, Jungmin had hoped to become an Omega even before manifesting, but as if fate were playing a cruel joke, he, who so desperately wished for it, became an Alpha. Meanwhile, his twin younger brother, Youngmin, became an Omega and got engaged to Jungmin’s first love.

But Jungmin couldn’t give up on him. He believed that if he could somehow become an Omega, Yoo Shinwoo would look his way. Clinging to this foolish lingering attachment, he kept taking drugs to become an Omega, even though he knew they were poison.

Meanwhile, Kim Joohwan (Gong), who periodically has relations with Jungmin under the pretext of “correction,” watches this with amusement.

Kim Joohwan feels an inexplicable anger and discomfort seeing Jungmin, who is willing to “correct” with any Alpha if it means becoming an Omega.

But it doesn’t matter. No, he wishes Jungmin would suffer even more, be in even greater pain. Because the more Jungmin suffers, the more likely he is to eventually turn to Kim Joohwan. <<less

I have become the strongest existence in history with the DNA of a king.... more>>

I will conquer the world and dominate all humans!

… … Huh? You call me a hero?

No! I am an evil villain! <<less

A world where dragons serve as mayors, elves work in sales, and orcs brew coffee.... more>>

In a city full of enhanced humans and wandering wizards, I became a young girl with psychic powers.

"To do something so terrible to a child… These people are despicable."

"Human experimentation related to psychic powers is an international crime, punishable by at least the death penalty. This is absolutely unacceptable."

"Don't worry anymore. From now on, you've got nothing to fear. We'll take care of everything for you, little sister!"

It seems the protagonists have misunderstood something. <<less

I was reborn as the villainous daughter, Yumiela Dolknes, in the world of an otome RPG game. Yumiela only had a small role in the original story, but after defeating the Demon King, she will appear as the Hidden Boss with a bonus specs to solo fight the Hero party.... more>>

Having a gamer-spirit, I’ve been raising my level since I was a child. By the time I enter the academy where the game stage is, I was level 99.

I wanted the heroine and the capture targets to defeat the Demon King, but they just flirted around and didn’t raise their level. Moreover, they treat me as if I’m the Demon King just because I have dark hair and use dark magic.

It’s a story where I aim for peaceful days. <<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!

As a reward, the system can now be shut down.

(No/Yes)]

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

I've said goodbye to that miserable system, so now I can finally live my life doing whatever I want! For half a year, I’ve been living my best life, happily fanboying over my bias character just as I’d dreamed.

Then, he appeared—my bias, with a look of disdain in his eyes.

"I still haven’t heard your reason."

"So, you need to stay by my side." <<less

*”Welcome to the world of Personality Plunder.... more>>

You possess three initial personality cards.

You can use any means to plunder personality cards.

Black cards represent ‘high-risk personalities.’ Proceed with caution.

You must…”*

Shi Qian stared at the three pitch-black high-risk personality cards in her hand, deep in thought.

Game system, are you serious?

Even though I filled out the questionnaire with things like ‘My right hand seals an evil power,’ ‘Black wings of rage are my arms,’ and ‘I’m so tired of saving the world, let it perish,’ I’m just a simple chuunibyou (teenage delusional) case, okay?!

System: Your complaint has been noted. As a gift, here’s the black personality [Arrogant Dreamer] . Excessive humility is the ultimate arrogance.

Shi Qian: “…???”

Fine, then I’ll become—

System: Become?

Shi Qian: A regular convenience store owner who, despite possessing superpowers and evil personalities, sets alarms to grab discounted eggs and pinches every penny!

System: “…???”

——【Personality No. 001: Physical Sleep Specialist】

On a rainy night, a creature followed a girl in red through the alley and slipped indoors.

Its black-gray tongue l**ked its lips, the temptation of fresh blood driving it to kill—

Suddenly, bright white lights flickered on.

“Hello there?” The black-haired girl in red sat at the dining table, tilting her head slightly.

She smiled, narrowing her eyes, the clinking of her knife and fork piercing the air. “Do you prefer steamed or braised?”

The creature, which had always disdained learning human speech: “…Help!”

——【Personality No. 066: Necromancer】

Tu Ge, the top streamer of Personality Plunder, controlled a black personality as he moved through dungeons, cutting down NPCs indiscriminately and sending them to heaven.

Only a barefoot girl remained in the slaughterhouse.

Holding a stuffed toy, frail and pale, she slowly raised her arm…

The dead NPCs rose, bones buried in the earth came back to life, ignoring all physical attacks as they swarmed toward the streamer Tu Ge.

[Tu Ge, run!]

[Oh no, Tu Ge’s about to crash and burn! Better start flattering the BOSS, haha!]

The chat exploded as Tu Ge’s personality card was stripped away: “No… she’s not an NPC! She’s a player!!”

——【Personality No. ??: ???】

True form unknown. Do not look. Do not listen.

Months later.

Watching the new world Shi Qian had created through her chaotic roleplay—where evil gods and true gods coexisted, and the bizarre blended with the divine—the system quipped sarcastically: “Just a~ simple~ chuunibyou~”

Shi Qian: “? I really am, though.”

What else could I do when all I got were high-risk personalities? If you can’t beat them, join them. <<less

The protagonist, Choi Joon-ho, who had lived his life as a ruthless villain, indulging in power and bloodshed, one day returned to the past when... more>> he was an unemployed shut-in. He decided to turn his life around and use his strength for good, facing various challenges and obstacles along the way. <<less

As the only male in the Lu family, Lu Shui received an order from the elders of the clan today: go to the Mu family... more>> to divorce. I heard that Mu Jiatian’s beautiful girl lost her cultivation overnight and turned into a waste, which caused the Lu family’s elders to be very dissatisfied. The ordinary land and water did not refuse. When Lu Shui came to Mu's house and saw his fiancee, he was stunned. It turned out that this fierce and discordant wife in the previous life was also reborn. <<less

Isabella Dunkeld is a notorious evil woman, hated by her family and scorned by everyone. But things take a strange turn when a powerful demon lord from the demon realm finds herself trapped in her body.... more>>

‘How did I end up in this body?’ The demon has no memory of making a contract with Isabella, yet here she is, stuck and powerless. To avoid revealing her true identity, she must act as ‘human’ as possible.

“So, how many people have I killed with these hands? Hundreds? Thousands?”

“Um… you haven’t killed anyone.”

“Not a single person, yet they call me an evil woman?”

Humans are incomprehensible to the demon.

***

To complete the contract and escape Isabella’s body, the demon must fulfill her most fervent wish: ‘Make my family regret everything.’ With an indifferent father and a lunatic brother, the demon decides to get closer to these worthless family members.

“Hey, if you talk like that, you make us sound like tr*sh.”

“You are tr*sh. Reflect on that, tr*sh.”

Is this how it’s done? <<less

In her third year living in this steampunk world, Ciel gained the ability to simulate both the past and the future.... more>>

These simulations turned into a game where she could act without restraint, and after countless trials, real life became a replica she could navigate as though speedrunning it.

Churches, potions, mutations, the Old Gods, witches, sealed artifacts… none of these have anything to do with Ciel. She’s just an ordinary girl who wishes for a peaceful life.

She just happens to be particularly skilled at snuffing out danger before it even begins. <<less

I was born as a collateral descendant of the Great Namgung Clan and lived my entire life as one of the clan’s warriors.... more>>

My life came to an end the year I turned forty-five, when the Demonic Cult’s rampage sparked the War Between Righteousness and Evil.

But when I opened my eyes, I found myself as the child of an unfamiliar-looking Semu?

“So, you’re begging me to let you use the training grounds again?”

“Yes. Now that I am already five years old, it will be too late if I do not start practicing the sword.”

“Why do you want to learn the sword?”

“I will become a sword master.”

“A sword… ahem. I see… So, our son wishes to become a sword master.”

“Though it might seem like a distant dream at the moment, once my body develops and I am able to control my range, I will be able to use sword aura, at the very least. Please grant me permission.”

“Will you explain to me what… range means, son?”

“It means extending the range of the sword’s attack in relation to one’s opponent as one’s arms and legs grow longer.”

“I see… It seems that our son will easily be able to use sword energy once he grows a little bigger…”

“Yes.”

Just as pine caterpillars eat pine needles and silkworms eat mulberry leaves, a martial artist must wield the sword.

Even in my new world, I resolved to master the sword and become a force of the unrestrained realm—a Grand Sword Master.

“You’re enrolled in Professor Casablanca’s liberal arts world history class, right? I heard the content is the same as last year’s.”

“Yes, that is correct…”

“I put a lot of effort into my notes, so you can just use these.”

Good looks, good lineage, and a gentle temperament.

This child, who’s impeccable in every way, keeps following me around.

Offering notes, lending study rooms, and even buying me food.

His intentions seem dubious.

Could this be a ploy to curry favour with me, the next greatest swordsman under the heavens, in anticipation of becoming the emperor?

But isn’t he acting a little too…,

…too, cute for that…?

A tale of a martial artist reincarnated into a romance fantasy world and a prince who is suspiciously meek, navigating their way through the ups and downs of academy life and gradually succumbing to first love! <<less

I was once reborn as the protagonist of a crappy galgame, only to meet my end by overworking myself to death trying to save the world. But when I opened my eyes again, I found myself reincarnated once more—this time as the female protagonist in the sequel. Determined not to become a wage s*ave again, my familiars, who shared my disdain for working overtime, came up with a cunning plan. ... more>>

By becoming the childhood sweetheart of the original male protagonist, creating perfect memories together, and deepening our bond through our youth, I could turn him into someone who couldn’t imagine living in a world without me…

Familiars: Now, for the final step. On the night of his proposal, when the ring is slipped onto your finger, a monster will appear and tear you apart before his very eyes. This will surely leave him with a lifetime of regret.

Nagine: ???

Congratulations. You’ve created the strongest protagonist, who will now ruthlessly eradicate all evil. <<less

I found myself transmigrated into the fantasy novel “From Transmigration to Hero.”... more>>

And not just as any character, but as Sean, the younger brother of the Villain Raizen—and the one who would eventually be killed by him.

“An extra who’s already dead by the time the main story starts… seriously?”

But despairing over it wouldn’t help, especially since Sean stood to inherit a fortune.

So, I clenched my teeth and resolved to survive.

[Quest:

Call Raizen “Big Brother” three times or more: 30/3

Spend at least 30 minutes with Raizen: 120/30

Hold Raizen’s hand for at least 5 seconds: 0/5

Reward: Access to From Transmigration to Hero’s main text and Raizen: Bonus Chapter]

Even with these ridiculous quests, I managed to complete them somehow.

All for the sake of survival, I acted as harmless as possible, pretending to be the little brother utterly devoted to Raizen.

But then…

“You’ve manifested as a Recessive Omega.”

Suddenly, an unexpected setting that didn’t exist in the original story appeared.

“You said it yourself. That you and I are the only two people in this world.”

Even after I barely managed to escape, the villain chased me down to where I was hiding?! <<less

A Story of a Goblin Reincarnated Striving for a Proper Life... more>>

As the title suggests, the protagonist starts off believing he is an ogre.

From being treated as livestock, to becoming a pet, then finally recognized as a member of the village—he steadily climbs the ranks. But where will he ultimately end up?

With no grand plans for the future, this is a makeshift tale that unfolds as it goes! <<less

I wasn’t reborn with talent or ability, but at least my knowledge from earth allowed me to stay one step ahead in this other world.... more>>

Magic exists here, and new progress was rapidly being made in science while magic stagnated in the name of tradition. Using my earthly knowledge and not bound by the traditional thinking, I was able to do things other wizards couldn’t even imagine.

Still, inadvertently becoming an undercover professor for a mysterious secret society at the renowned Theon academy was never in my to-do list! <<less

Lin Queli transmigrated into a "Long Aotian" novel and was bound to a System.... more>>

(Translator's Note: A "Long Aotian" is a popular web novel archetype for an overpowered, arrogant male protagonist.)

This world was on the brink of collapse because its protagonist, the Long Aotian, had yet to be born.

【System: So, dear Host, in order to save the world, your mission is to seduce the Long Aotian's biological father—the head of the Immortal Sects, Taxue Xianzun. You must get pregnant with the Xianzun's seed and give birth to the Long Aotian!】

(TN: "Xianzun" means Immortal Venerable, a title for a powerful cultivator. "Shizun" means Venerable Master.)

Lin Queli: ?

Wait a minute, what kind of decent person gets a world-saving mission that involves borrowing someone's seed to have a baby?! Besides, I'm a man!

****

Taxue Xianzun, Helan Xue, devoted his life to cultivation, devoid of all feelings and desires. He had been in seclusion for a thousand years, forsaking the mortal world, making him exceptionally difficult to approach.

The difficulty level of this seduction target was sky-high.

And to top it all off, Lin Queli transmigrated at the very beginning into the body of the original novel's arch-nemesis: the Demon Lord, leader of all demons and perpetrator of every imaginable evil, who was destined to be killed by Helan Xue and turned into a "human swine."

(TN: A "human swine" is a gruesome form of torture involving the amputation of all four limbs.)

Lin Queli: ??

Looking at the frosty-faced Helan Xue before him, Lin Queli went plop and collapsed weakly into his arms, as delicate as a willow in the wind, utterly soft and helpless.

"Xianzun... you're so fierce. I'm so scared, sob."

Demon Lord? Who's that? Never heard of him.

****

Helan Xue's heart, which had been tranquil for a millennium, had recently begun to throb at his temples every single day. The reason? He had taken on a disciple. This disciple, however, not only showed no ambition for self-improvement but also spent all his days scheming to dual cultivate with him, delusionally hoping to ascend to the heavens in a single step.

"Aiya! Shizun, I've fallen, it hurts~"

The little thing before him called out "Shizun" in a cloyingly sweet voice, then performed a stiff, clumsy slide-tackle into his arms.

"..."

Absurd.

Helan Xue raised a hand to teach him a lesson, only to see the person in his arms huddled there with teary eyes, like an abandoned puppy.

Forget it.

His disciple was simply too fragile, simple-minded, and foolish. He would have to be taught slowly.

****

Later, Lin Queli, his "scheme" having succeeded, patted his round, bulging belly... and ran away.

Before long, news spread throughout the Three Realms that Taxue Xianzun was leading an army to exterminate the demons. It was said that he fought his way up the Mount of Demons, eradicating half of the evil in the Demon Realm.

That night, on the Mount of Demons, ice and snow weighed down every branch, and the forest was veiled in frost.

The Immortal Venerable, his white robes purer than snow, stood at the foot of the mountain with his sword in hand. He stared at his "excessively fragile," "simple and foolish" disciple, who was now sitting on the Demon Lord's throne.

His voice was ice-cold.

"A'Li, come here." <<less

Cecilia believed that her husband, Eden, felt the same way she did.... more>>

Until he confessed that he had wanted to kill her.

Until he stripped her of her family name and trampled on her love.

Until she realized that his kindness had been nothing but a façade.

"I wanted to kill you too."

So, you despised me enough to want me dead.

That despair crashed over Cecilia like a tidal wave, dragging her into its depths.

But when she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the moment of their wedding.

"That painting will be proof of the eternal love I vow to you."

She had no way of knowing why the gods had granted her another life.

Yet, in this life, Eden was different. He said he loved her.

The hatred that had taken root in the wake of love and betrayal stretched endlessly before her.

Cecilia wanted to wrap her hands around the throat of the man who had once wished for her death—

The man who now claimed to love her— And ask him just one question.

Are we still in love? <<less

In his regrets, he answered her desperate questions, which resulted in his own death due to a curse meant to prevent any betrayal.

But then, he suddenly found himself regressed to the time of the first meeting between him and Wi Seol-Ah.

Filled with burden of his past crimes, he embarks on a new journey. <<less

Shi Jin once read a book. It was supposed to be about satisfying the desire for vengeance.... more>>

The main character, also named Shi Jin, was the sixth son of his harem-novel-protagonist-like father. All was well, while his father was alive at least, but after his death, Shi Jin’s five elder half-brothers tormented him, eventually leading to his death. The protagonist was reborn, determined to take revenge, and… the novel was discontinued.

That day, Shi Jin almost spat blood and dropped the book into a shredder. The next day, he died in a car accident. Somehow, when he came to, he had transmigrated into a teenager, a youth also called Shi Jin.

There was only one problem. His father had just died. His older brothers were about to torment him…

Shi Jin: Let’s eliminate my brothers’ hatred, my goal is to keep my life! <<less

My name is Xu Jiang. I ended up in a world of urban cultivation...... more>>

Drowning in millions of debt, hounded by loan sharks, abandoned by my parents, unrecognized by my sister, no system activation, no talent—completely broke.

My last remaining “asset” was 6 yuan left on a credit card, just enough to top up a mobile game.

In despair, I launched a game with an AI girlfriend, hoping that maybe, just maybe, a virtual lover could spare me from the crushing loneliness.

I picked the most useless, lowest-ranking drunken sword maiden... and poured my final 6 yuan into the game... <<less

The Gate incident took her entire family away.

She gave up on school and employment.

Hyun Habin, a sad non-awakened who bounced between day jobs.

One day, she picked up a powerful constellation.

[The seal has finally been broken! Together, let’s save the world…!]

“What are you on about? I’m going to have fun.”

[I am a constellation! With me, you can do anything…!]

“Anything? Then can you pay for my Netflix and YouTube subscriptions?”

[…What are those?]

“Geez, constellations are useless.”

Anyway, her part-time job life is finally over!

She was planning to visit restaurants she couldn’t afford before and watch dramas she missed.

But the world won’t leave her alone.

“Habin! Are you really not joining our guild?”

The rich unni who keeps following her despite being rejected.

“That masked magician, why do I feel annoyed every time I see him?”

The mysterious world rank #1 who somehow resembles her missing brother.

“Join our guild. I’ll give you twice what they’re (rich unni) offering.”

Even her former classmate who hit domestic rank #1 and lost his social skills.

“No. I’m not joining! I said no!”

She thought rejecting them all would be enough, but…

“Hyun Habin-nim! We’re so sorry! The bank has just been robbed!”

“Whaaaat? Who did it?”

“It’s that infamous Hunter crime organization…”

“Damn it! Those bastards! I just want to watch my dramas!”

…Will Hyun Habin be able to enjoy her retirement life?
