[God Dog]: I’m looking for someone to attempt life for a second time. At the joke-like chatting, I ended up responding with a joke. [JjamBbong Taste Clementine]: Second time, let’s go go go go. [God Dog]: Are you confident? It’s not going to be easy, you know? [JjamBbong Taste Clementine]: Don’t I just have to do the same thing over again in this shitty game? Hehehehe. But the result of this… “The third prince of the Magic Kingdom, Guillaume!” “……Who?” I became the third prince inside of that game. An eerily shining cold steel blade touched my neck. This, though unbelievable, had become my reality. “Now, third prince. Any last words?” “……What is this b*tchy situation?” “Haha, b*tchy? Those definitely sound like the words of a wastrel. Goodbye. Third Prince.” The miserable end of an extra NPC. Just as the blade was about to fall on my neck…! [Gameplay has started.] [Player ‘Kim Kyung Sam’ will lay as the ‘Wastrel Third Prince’!] The game I grinded my life into had become my reality. But… ‘I will not die.’ ‘And I will not be defeated.’ Because I know this game from the beginning to the end.
“She has no charm when she clings to you. She’s nothing but an empty shell.” At a hotel she visits for a gathering with friends, Han Dajeong runs into her cheating ex-boyfriend. To shake off his shameless persistence, she pretends to be dating a man she happens to meet there—Baek Jundo. At Jundo’s suggestion, the two end up drinking together, and in a moment of impulse, Dajeong spends the night with him. “I could use a drinking partner.” “Honestly… I’m not very fun. I’m stiff and boring.” “Han Dajeong. At the very least—you’ll be fun.” It’s the first night she truly feels every sensation so vividly. Still, Dajeong decides to treat it as nothing more than a one-night lapse. But strangely enough, Jundo’s insomnia disappears whenever he’s with her. After experiencing deep, restful sleep for the first time in ages, he finds himself wanting to see her again. “Save my number. There’s something I want to confirm.” “Listen carefully. You were just a one-night thing to me.” Believing the relationship is over after coldly pushing him away, Dajeong moves on— Until they meet again. “I’m Baek Jundo, the newly appointed chairman of Baekun High School. I look forward to working with you, Nurse Han Dajeong.” Jundo reappears… as the new chairman of the very high school where Dajeong works as a school nurse.
Art student Zhong Shenxiu runs into a problem during a portrait sketching class. She couldn't "truly see" Xu Ke, a top student and the subject of the portrait session… She can't draw her subject if she can't see her clearly. Zhong Shenxiu puts down her pencil and wonders, maybe if she became a better student, she would be able to get closer to her, right? And if she could get closer to her, then she could truly see her, right? Until she gets so close that the distance between them is almost zero — like they're almost face-to-face. Phew! Now she can truly see her clearly! But! This is... a little too close! Help! What should she do now!!! (Source: Bilibili, translated)
My family, appearance, and demeanor are all average. Yet, somehow, I've found myself feeling like the lead in a thrilling horror movie, or maybe a romantic comedy, or even a slice of life flick. How did this happen to someone so unremarkable? Follow the tale of Woo-Ri Nam, an ordinary Korean university student, as it begins to unfold.
Susumu Nakoshi is a middle-aged man who spends his days between a lavish first-class hotel and a park full of homeless people. One day, an eccentric young man approaches Nakoshi in search of subjects willing to partake in trepanation—the procedure of drilling a hole in the skull. This mysterious person claims that Nakoshi is the perfect man for the experiment. Initially rejecting the offer, he doubles back on his decision after his car gets towed off. Nakoshi agrees to let Manabu Ito, a 22-year-old medical student, drill a hole in his skull in exchange for 700,000 yen. The procedure bears no results at first, with Nakoshi showing no abnormalities. This normalcy comes to an abrupt end, however, when Nakoshi begins seeing the homunculus in every person. With his perception distorted, how will Nakoshi face these homunculi?
