Ari: ‘I was bought by you.’

This is the land of the 【New Great Nation】 where witches and humans intertwine—.

One day, Hunt Duckarts, a nobleman, buys an unknown girl from the impoverished slum city of 【Stova】, which is the lowest-tier city.

The girl has a peculiar appearance, and a worn opera glove is unnaturally placed on her left hand.

Upon seeing the girl, he becomes certain.

‘Finally, I’ve found it. The key to reaching “that woman.”‘

The girl later comes to know.

His desire is to find the “Witch’s Limbs” and, moreover, to kill the “Witch of the Blue Rose.”

And to achieve that, he intends to use the girl’s power, as a vengeful man.

What exactly is the “Witch’s Limbs” he speaks of?

And why does he vow revenge against the “Witch of the Blue Rose”?

The girl named Ari, given a name by Hunt, was bought only to be exploited by him.

However, gradually, amid the bewilderment and fear she felt towards him, Arii begins to experience emotions she has never felt before…?

This is a story of a young fallen nobleman who lives for revenge and a lonely girl, a journey that will change their destinies—.” <<less

Some games require agreeing to this statement in order to play.

Even if it's not necessary for the game, the game typically begins with a similar disclaimer guiding the player through the precautions.

Although the advantage of a game is the 'immersion' that no other medium can match, starting with such a statement disrupts the immersion from the beginning despite everyone knowing the work is fiction.

There is no mandatory need to include such a disclaimer, so why do it?

It is likely to emphasize a fact that everyone should always remember.

The man with tattered clothes and an old sword said, "So, I *can* kill."

He did not have any particularly memorable appearance.

He was likely not a well-known person, at least, not to the mercenary he was killing.

The important fact was that the man who had been stabbed by the worn-out sword was now dying in front of him.

"Ugh..."

When the man pulled the sword out of the mercenary, the mercenary's legs gave way, and he fell to his knees. He no longer had the strength to resist.

He wanted to raise his arm to swing his sword, but he didn't have the strength to do so. He gritted his teeth and wanted to cast a spell, but he lacked the focus to do so.

"Why... you... how?"

Thus, the mercenary chose to give up on resisting and opened his mouth to speak.

Why had the man suddenly attacked him? He had only seen him collapse and moved him to a nearby cave.

What kind of person, what kind of thoughts had led him to do this as soon as he woke up?

The mercenary was so curious that he asked the question.

"How fascinating."

The man stroked his chin as he stared at the dying mercenary.

The sight of the man in his worn-out clothes pondering was somewhat terrifying.

Soon, as if he had reached a conclusion, the man broke his silence.

"I never knew I could attack an NPC. Is that how the game is made?"

"...What?"

The mercenary couldn't understand the man's words.

NPC, not knowing an attack would work, game. He couldn't make sense of any of the words the man said.

Having spent his whole life living as a mercenary according to his "setting," he could never understand what the man was saying.

'No, you must respond properly. Properly—'

But he couldn't continue his next words or even think about the meaning of his response, and the mercenary's consciousness began to fade.

A killing driven by nothing but curiosity, with no reason.

That was the first death experienced by NPC Aiden Oliver. <<less

The sect leader of a certain small sect took in a personal disciple rumored to be a total loser who hadn’t broken through the initial three stages even after five years. The other disciples were in an uproar. They watched in disbelief as the sect leader treated this “useless basket” like a treasured pearl, stuffing her hands with top-grade spirit stones and high-quality spiritual treasures as if money meant nothing. The disciples thought the sect leader had gone mad.... more>>

Unexpectedly, just days later, the sect leader insanely kicked her into the territory of their rival sect, under the guise of encouraging her to gain more experience. The disciples of the Tuo Yue Sect pitied her, thinking she would be terribly bullied at the Shui Yun Sect.

However, within days, calamitous news spread:

– Disciples of the Shui Yun Sect encountered a beast tide, a disaster seen once in a millennium!

– The Shui Yun Sect was struck by lightning, destroying their temple!

– The ancient ancestor of the Shui Yun Sect failed yet another tribulation attempt against the lightning!

– The guardian beast of the Shui Yun Sect broke through its barrier and went mad, causing the senior elders to intervene and sustain severe injuries!

Within two months, the development of the Shui Yun Sect regressed by thirty years.

Meanwhile, Mo Yu, a once powerful figure who was killed by a tribulation lightning in her previous life, is reborn as a lowly errand disciple in a minor sect. Nonchalantly, she decides to just coast along, doing daily check-in tasks and sweeping around, living leisurely.

Suddenly, she is noticed by the sect leader, taken as a personal disciple, and even sent as an exchange student to make the sect proud. Well, she thought, wherever she goes, she just needs to survive, right? But as she continues this laid-back life, the sects around her keep collapsing, while her own sect’s status skyrockets.

Watching her master smiling with various top-tier cultivation resources in his arms, she realizes with a dazed expression:

A supreme calamity body? Capable of bringing misfortune to those around her? Comparable to a karmic tribulation? Turns out, she’s a jinx! <<less

Also known as 'Dragon's Promise,' according to Da Feng himself: 'It's a story about a dragon wanting to marry a bride, but being deceived by a spirit to search for treasure...'... more>>

Legend has it that every hundred years, an evil dragon comes to the mortal realm and takes away a princess as his bride.

Legend has it that when the gods departed from the world, they buried their most precious treasures somewhere, along with their deepest love.

Another hundred years have passed, and the young future Dragon King, Kenken, comes to the mortal realm to marry a bride, only to be besieged by the Grand Mage and the Knights Templar. In order to successfully marry his bride, Kenken mortgages his ancestral necklace to the Prince of the Elf tribe, Grantina, hiring him as an assistant to defeat the Knights Templar.

This necklace is actually the key to unlocking the treasure of the gods.

The young Dragon King, with intentions to marry a bride, and the 'ulterior motive' Elf Prince, set out on a journey for their respective wishes.

Will there be a bride?

Will there be treasure?

Driven by the desperation to leave no evidence as the sole driving force behind his unrequited love.... more>>

He had thought he could hide it for the rest of his life, until Lee Jihoon asked in the fall of his twenty-nine.

"Don't you think it's even stranger that I've never heard you talk about women you've dated all this while?"

Realizing that he could no longer hide it, Ji Sunwook meekly confessed that he was dating a man and finally put an end to their relationship with the confession he had been putting off.

Lee Jihoon, who came to catch Ji Sunwook, denied that conclusion. He said that Ji Sunwook didn't love him, so this couldn't be the end for them. Not wanting to believe it, he blocked Ji Sunwook’s way out saying he would prove it.

"What kind of coward abandons the one he loves and then runs away?"

Guided by Lee Jihoon's firm hand, the two stood on a road they had never been on before. Only when standing at the edge of friendship from which no one can retreat did they realize that they were facing something that made them uncertain whether they were proving that it was love or proving that it was not. <<less

Many years later, facing the cover reporter of Time magazine, Yi Jiayi would recall the distant afternoon when the head of the serious crime unit took her to see the body...... more>>

At that moment, she heard the wails of the deceased, saw the face of the mu*derer, and gained the ability to mentally revisit the crime scene.

From then on, Hong Kong had one less civilian policewoman who spent her time gossiping over tea and dating after work, and gained a shining star in the police force who solved every case she encountered.

Head of Serious Crime Unit: How did you know he was the mu*derer!?

Yi Jiayi: Because it was a rainy night (omitting the reasoning process, 800 words), so there is only one truth...

The mu*derer trembled, his face turned pale, speechless, surrendered, and resigned himself to his fate.

Yi Jiayi thought: I'm sorry, all of the above was made up.

As the saying goes, explanation is just a cover-up, and a cover-up is just storytelling!

Solving a case is like solving a math problem; others derive conclusions based on known conditions.

She just knows the answer directly, and the process of solving the problem relies entirely on fabrication...

Acting, pretending to be a detective, deceiving the mu*derer... resorting to all sorts of extremes, it's really difficult!

...

Ming Pao Reporter: The police force in Hong Kong calls you "Female Zhuge", saying you are both intelligent and close to supernatural. What do you think, Officer Yi?

Yi Jiayi: Haha, I'm just an (extraordinary) ordinary person.

Reporter: It's said that your home was vandalized by two thugs, and even the Flying Tigers were mobilized.

Yi Jiayi: Haha, that's just the daily routine of righteous officers protecting ordinary citizens.

Hong Kong Daily Reporter: It's rumored that the sons of Hong Kong's wealthiest, the rising young stars, and... are all pursuing you? Which one do you prefer?

Yi Jiayi shivered at the thought of the wrath of the Jealous King, not daring to be careless. She sat up straight, facing the camera, and said firmly:

"It's all rumors! As a detective dedicated to the cause of justice, my only concern is to uncover the real culprit and ensure the safety of the citizens. I have no time for romantic affairs." <<less

Watching the head of the serious crime unit talking to someone at the crime scene, she had a new idea.

If she couldn’t be his wife, then she would be his stepmother.

He had once shielded her from a knife, helped her at work, and always protected her in dangerous situations. He was mature, stable, restrained, and had never been rumored to be involved with anyone else.

Why not—

Wiping away her tears, she walked over…

At first, she pursued him with a mindset of revenge, but as the days of chasing him went by, she gradually found herself falling in love with this man.

In the morning, I woke up in an unfamiliar place. Moreover, I, who was supposed to be an old man, has turned into a child!?... more>>

This is a mysterious world where a magic called the "Miracle of God" exists. Am I the only one who realizes the infinite potential of this strange power called magic? Well, if that's the case, why not live an interesting life with this power?

...However, due to the magic I secretly learned, a certain "suspicion" is cast upon me. A great commotion suddenly erupted in a small village called Rish Village... As a result, I was ordered by the feudal lord to attend a local magic academy.

While attending the magic academy and taking the first step towards my dream of becoming an adventurer, I get involved in the kidnapping of a duke's daughter, play around with curses, and fantasize about getting rich with alchemy, all while graduating from the academy's junior division.

Then, I was supposed to attend the magic academy in the royal capital. At the academy, I'm called a prodigy, earn a grand title like "Curse Breaker" by making money with curses, and live with two girls. Unexpectedly, a strange ball of light settles in, and my life takes an unforeseen turn.

An incident arises where a fake "Curse Breaker" appears, involving the adventurer's guild, I almost get assassinated by the church, and my everyday life remains chaotic. While engaged to three girls, I finally succeed in generating Orichalcum with alchemy in secret and become a secret billionaire! But, I'm nonchalantly assigned military duties and receive medals, suspicious individuals lurk around, and there's a looming sense of a storm involving the whole country.

At that time, the kingdom and the empire finally go to war. Borders are breached, and even an attack on the royal capital occurs. Who ascends to the throne in the empire!?

Those who manipulate behind the scenes on the continent. The hidden truth in the darkness of history——.

I find myself entangled in the struggle of the great nations that divide the continent, all the while dreaming of a carefree adventurer's life. This is the story of one young boy (in an old man's body). <<less

It happened on the way to kindergarten, led by my mother.... more>>

A sweet, clear singing voice reached my ears, and I, a toddler wearing a yellow kindergarten cap, turned around.

In front of the vending machine attached to the stationery store I saw a mysterious woman in her twenties.

Startled, I pointed at her and looked up at my mother.

However, all my mother did was make a puzzled smile and say, ‘What is it? Do you want some juice?’

(My mom can’t see that lady.)

(Maybe she’s different. She’s not human.)

Since then, whenever we approached the stationery store, I would tug my mom’s hand to hurry and move away.

I had thought she was some sort of earthbound spirit or something, unable to leave the area around that vending machine.

But then, one day, I saw her walking around town and humming a tune with her umbrella open!

I fell into a state of panic!

After much thought, one afternoon, I mustered up the courage and went to the front of the stationery store alone to exorcist her—— <<less

I Possessed an extra rabbit in a Ropan novel, so I decided to be the guardian of ‘Kyle Roden’, a black hearted man abandoned in the polar region.... more>>

Kyle tried to kill the male lead who took away the female lead he loved.

He was a wolf banished to the polar region and was the villain of the original novel.

“I’ll give you whatever you want, so take me home with you.”

However, when he went to the female lead, he was abandoned and eventually died at the hands of the male lead.

I couldn't let my favorite end up like that.

“I will be your guardian, so come with me instead.”

I honestly didn't intend to be the lover of Kyle.

It's just about opening his eyes to the presence of other people not just the female protagonist.

The goal was to make him let go of his obsession with the female lead and deviate from the original ending.

But despite all my efforts, I couldn't change his mind.

In the end, I gave up and tried to leave his side..

“You’re leaving me?”

There was something strange about Kyle's appearance when he came to see me. He stood in front of me and spoke with cool eyes shining.

“You can’t lure someone and then get rid of them like this.” <<less

"Sorry, but I don't want to make a contract with anyone ever again."
