In order to survive, Tae-jung threw everyone he saw in front of him to be eaten by zombies and managed to reach the classroom—where he ran into Si-chan, someone he had absolutely despised. The two of them shared one thing in common: As long as they survived, nothing else mattered. If someone looked even slightly bitten, they killed them on the spot. If someone was too loud, they used them as zombie shields. And even if someone quietly followed their orders, they still used them as zombie bait. Realizing their similar ways of thinking, Tae-jung and Si-chan formed an alliance. But as they continued surviving together, Tae-jung started feeling a growing sense of unease. “Not gonna kill you, not gonna kill you.” “Then why the f*ck did you pull that shit, you crazy bastard…?” “Because I wanted to see you beg.” In a field full of zombies, where they played with human lives like toys— “Does this hurt? Did that hurt?” “Ghk—f*ck—ghhk… cough…” Si-chan would choke him for fun, laughing at his suffering. Tae-jung realized that at this rate, he would die. He decided he had to switch to another group as soon as possible— But it wasn’t easy. “Come with me. Or just f*cking die right now.” After all, Si-chan, who once called him useless, now refused to let him go.

Hio is a ten year old boy who was brought into an orphanage because their family went bankrupt. Seven years passed since then. Living in a poor community and having all women near him mysteriously killed. What mystery lies ahead of him? **************** Wherein Hio escaped from the orphanage and lived in the streets for almost a year until he met Coffee and became best buds with him. Tired of living in the squatter’s area, the two “auditioned” for a band and became members of Equinox that later got turned into Forlorn Madness or ForMad because of a cheeky bratty doll-like woman who is the replacement for the former vocalist.

How does a whole new world open unto you? Not by resurrecting, not by time-traveling — if you also married a ghost husband that died a month ago, you would understand all of this! If he just died, if I just married, it would still be fine, but he had to come every night and eat me clean! If he just ate me, I would still be able to tolerate, but the living is a hassle too! A coquettish mother-in-law, an uncle that keeps on sending silent love messages to my mother-in-law, and a sullen aunt that never talks……
Waking up in a hospital bed isn’t that surprising. Losing some memories due to the accident’s aftereffects, forgetting about being married and even their spouse’s existence, is understandable too. “Honey, how are you feeling?” But having a tentacle monster in a suit as a husband? “It seems to be an aftereffect of the accident.” “So, to put it simply, doctor, you’re saying that because of the accident, something went wrong with my brain, and that’s why my husband looks like a tentacled monster?” Her husband, who appears as a perfect man to everyone else, looked like a monster straight out of cosmic horror to her. And the reality that differs from her memories. “It’s okay. I remember you.” “Ah…” “If you don’t remember anything, just ask me. I know everything about you.” Her perfect husband takes care of her with kindness, but she’s confused. Could all of this really be a temporary side effect of the accident? * * * Lowering her chin, she glanced to the side. A tentacled monster with a fantastic body was sitting there. With all its tent**les drooping down, it looked quite dejected. She took a picture with her phone. The tentacle monster was on the screen until she pressed the capture button. But when she checked the photo album, the tentacle monster was gone, replaced by a handsome man with a heartbroken expression. “Um…” “Yes, honey?” “How did we get married? Did I blackmail you with your weaknesses or something?” “Blackmail? You? Blackmailed me?” As she raised her head at his amused tone, her eyes met a bundle of trembling tent**les. It was hard to tell with his form, but judging from his reaction, he seemed to be laughing. “What if it was the other way around?”
I found myself trapped in the reverse harem horror game “Lucifer’s Castle,” notorious for its insane difficulty. Somehow, I must find and kill Lucifer hidden within the castle within 100 days to log out. However, the state of the male leads is blatantly strange. “Every time I see you, something below rises. How will you take responsibility for this?” Starting with Martin, the FM butler who was a former war hero, “It’s troubling because every time I see you, my m*mber starts acting up.” Kiel, the black mage, whose words are entirely different from his ascetic face, “Look, every time I see you, Laila, this place starts drooling like this.” Eden, the gardener who looks like the epitome of a sunny male lead but actually has multiple personality, “I’m suddenly curious about how your insides will change if I endlessly feed you this.” Not to mention Rosalyn, the head maid who roams around in the guise of his deceased fraternal twin sister, “When you cry, it makes me want to go astray.” Even the lord of the castle, who exudes a dangerous aura from head to toe. Can I safely log out of this game, avoiding the male leads who are clearly not normal? …Honestly, I’m not sure if I can. Can someone please log me out?
Qin Liu couldn’t understand it. He was originally a tall and sturdy man. But why… after being hit by a dump truck and dying, did he come back as a female ghost? Luckily, she looked stunning, with a great appearance and elegant demeanor. So for Qin Liu, if fate brought her here, she might as well settle in. Living a second life as a female ghost wasn’t the worst outcome. But a few days later, an uninvited guest arrived at her haunted house. This was her house, so naturally Qin Liu tried everything to drive away this intruder. She first took out a pair of red embroidered shoes. But the intruder put the shoes on a shrine and devoutly worshipped them. She then took out a pair of bloodstained stockings, but those too were carefully stored away in a treasure box. Left with no choice, Qin Liu decided to take action personally, determined to make this person pay. But just as she crawled out of the TV, the person brushed aside her bangs… “Get out of my house!!” The embarrassed and angry Qin Liu shouted.
As a despised assault-type guide, Lin Yuan has a fiancé matched to her by the state. Her fiancé is from a prestigious family, handsome, wealthy, and impeccably mannered, making her the envy of many. Why would such an excellent partner be assigned to her? She doesn’t even meet the standards for tea ceremony, and her cooking skills only earned a “B” grade. “He’ll get tired of her eventually.” “That’s right, they’re doomed to fail.” After hearing these kinds of remarks so often, Lin Yuan also came to believe that she and Jiang Yangshuo were destined to break up. So, when her fiancé appeared before her with a gentle and lovely young woman, she didn’t hesitate to take off her engagement ring and toss it down the drain in front of them both. From then on, Lin Yuan enjoyed a life of freedom, where the sky was the limit, and the sea was vast enough for her to roam as she pleased. Who knew that after a few years of living unrestrained, her ex-fiancé would corner her at a royal banquet, his eyes red-rimmed, and declare that he had been regretting his decision all these years, that he was consumed with longing for her. No, no, no, thank you, please don’t. Lin Yuan, who had become accustomed to her wild ways, had not a single desire to return to her previous life. Her ex-fiancé’s face turned livid as he gritted his teeth, “I don’t mind your type, and I can try my best to tolerate your shortcomings. You won’t find a sentinel who indulges you more than I do.” “Well, you see, I already have a new sentinel.” To completely shake off his entanglement, Lin Yuan casually threw out a name as a shield. She quickly reviewed the images of the sentinels she had met on the battlefield, choosing the name of a brother with whom she had shared life-and-death experiences. She figured the man wouldn’t mind. “He just happens to be a receptive type, a perfect match for me, and he likes me a lot. He doesn’t care about any of my flaws.” Just after sending off her devastated ex-fiancé, Lin Yuan turned around and bumped into the very man she had just name-dropped. That man, who had killed countless enemies on the battlefield and had achieved remarkable merit, had a slightly flushed, handsome face. He turned his head and said softly, “You…when did you know I liked you?” Lin Yuan: “…”
Before my daughter went to sleep, she told me, “At noon, the teacher pats the children one by one. Once she pats them dead, she puts them on the little beds.” I patiently explained, “That’s the teacher lulling them to sleep. After the children fall asleep, she puts them on the little beds, sweetie.” My daughter nodded, only half understanding. But the next morning, in the kindergarten class group chat, Liu Xinyi’s mother sent a message. She said that after her daughter came home last night and fell asleep, she never woke up again. She was dead. I thought it was just an accident. Not until the children in the kindergarten class died one after another in their sleep. Only then did people realize this was a long-premeditated act of revenge.

Koushun Takami’s notorious high-octane thriller envisions a nightmare scenario: a class of junior high school students is taken to a deserted island where, as part of a ruthless authoritarian program, they are provided arms and forced to kill until only one survivor is left standing. Criticized as violet exploitation when first published in Japan—where it became a runaway best seller—Battle Royale is a Lord of the Flies for the 21st century, a potent allegory of what it means to be young and (barely) alive in a dog-eat-dog world.

You look out through the peephole and see another ghost preparing to open your front door. What should you do in this situation? Among various answers like “hide in the shoe cabinet” or “hide in the kitchen,” Jie Fangcheng chooses to slowly draw his sword: first, kill the one on the bed, and then kill the one in the elevator. *** After working diligently for 1,500 years in the underworld, Jie Fangcheng finally retired as an outstanding employee. His kind-hearted boss asked him, “Would you like to return to the mortal world? That way, you can continue your work as a 007 agent in the underworld after a hundred and eighty years.” Jie Fangcheng nodded in agreement. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in an infinite game. The game, “Do Not Respond,” was renowned for its horror, bloodshed, and cruelty.

Jie Fangcheng: “Hello, I’m a recently retired department manager… and now I’m back on the job!” *** It is said that a newcomer has entered the game, and the dungeon they entered has never been reset. *** It is also said that someone witnessed NPCs panicking and running around. Player: How is that possible… Jie Fangcheng stabbed the ghost leader with his sword, completing the redemption, and wiped his blade: “Who’s next?!” #What kind of lousy game is this? ［Do Not Respond］but I’ll respond! #Trying to steal people from the underworld? Did you ask us, the official personnel of the underworld? Consumption Notes: 1. Not a leveling-focused story, starting at maximum level. 2. Attack and defense mechanics deviate from the traditional rules. The game allows for forced storyline alterations and NPC manipulation. 3. Features a significant number of supporting character perspectives, god-like viewpoint, but not a large ensemble cast. Main focus is on the protagonist and their romantic interest.
