Astonished, she tried to interrogate, but ended up getting dragged into another universe and another world. There, she finds out that experiments are being ran on fourteen other candidates set aside for her. Being the last candidate, she is told that she might be the first one to face demise. But she is determined to find out what is up with this facility. Eventually, she comes across an astonishing fact—that this whole world and setting is similar to that of a book she read during her younger days. And the protagonist happened to be her own cousin, who also killed her at the near end of the novel. *** (Prologue) Listen... No one is judging no one here. And so am I. The world has been cruel these days. Being modern means being rude to people on the street who are below your rank—That is what they believe. I find this all frustrating, why move with a state of mind that could as well kill you someday. You don't know if this person is a lawyer, a far relative, a doctor, a politician. But you already get the gist, don't you? And like any other teenagers my age, I really want to run away from all this. It's not like I am an orphan or from a poor household. I am from a family which is a standard class in economical terms in this world. And yet, I want to run away. Haha! Anyways. I did succeed. I wonder at what cost? I am away from all that hostility of course... But now I am in another world. Not reincarnated. Not transmigrated to another body. I am with my own soul in my original body, but in another world. This world... is weird. Thinking back, I remember reading a strange book when I was young. This book actually speaks about this world. I am a character there. Funnier thing, I don't know what is up with it either. It appears to me that the writer decided they want to see the 'live-action' version of it. So now... I am the actor playing my own character.

FOLLOW YOUR HEART: FUTURE EVENTS - 自分の心に従って:今後のイベント

Some people survive the unsurvivable. The world calls this resilience. The world has never had to live inside it. Kisuno Minazawa is fourteen years old and has been surviving since he was three — since the night he watched a person with frozen eyes take everything from him, since the years he spent running through Tokyo's forgotten spaces, since three weeks in a warehouse with two broken teenagers who chose him as family and paid for that choice with everything they had. He is very tired of it. Relocated to Kurosawa, a quietly defeated city in Gifu Prefecture, Kisuno enters Shirakawa Higashi High School carrying grief eight years old and no lighter for the aging. Within days the school knows his name. Within a week it knows what the internet says about it — that the white-haired transfer student with the dead blue eyes is the reason two people are in a cemetery under a zelkova tree. What follows is not a redemption story. It is not about finding light at the end of anything. It is about what depression looks like when it isn't performed for an audience. The hollow mechanics of surviving a day. The smile deployed to keep people from looking too closely. The rooftop visited not with drama but with the quiet, exhausted arithmetic of someone who ultimately doesn't have the energy to act. Two graves haven't been visited in two months. The chrysanthemums have gone brown. But Kisuno is still here. That has always been the most complicated thing about him. FOLLOW YOUR HEART: FUTURE EVENTS - 自分の心に従って:今後のイベント - RATED: MA29+

Dawnbringer: Lightborn

Lightborn is the centerpiece of the Dawnbringer series of novels in the world of Irándiel, upon the small continent of Telmérion, cold and rugged and yet inhabited since the beginning of human history by the first family of humankind. Though the setting is high fantasy—a work of co-creative imagination fashioning a mythical world with its own history and geography—the plot and the ins-and-outs of the world are deeply realistic, portraying as it were an ancient and long-forgotten past of our own world. Or more precisely, what is offered here is a mythical exposition of the true past that we all share—with very little magic or other fantasy tropes, but with a great deal of “magic,” in other words, a world filled with wonders and terrors of all kinds, from the ancient guardians of the world, the Anaíon, to vicious and deadly beasts such as dragons, eötenga, and vru’ádach. The characters thus find themselves caught in the cosmic battle between light and darkness, between the weakness of love and the power of hate, which casts its rays and its shadows also into the heart of every man and woman. The journey marked out before their feet calls for integrity, fidelity, and heroism, and also something more, something that lies at the heart of every good adventure and every life, and which is the very measure of man. When Eldárien returns to his homeland after many years away—burdened by the awareness that he has perpetrated great evil at the hands of an Empire whose knight he has become—he encounters a continent riven by strife and war and threatened by creatures even more horrifying, born of the very darkness itself. He wishes to lay aside the sword, to leave behind a past marked with violence and bloodshed, but he also longs to aid his people against the forces that endanger their very existence. And such a path he cannot walk alone, facing obstacles both within and without, and he finds given to him both the light that he wishes to serve and friends to share the journey. All the while the land that he loves slides inexorably into conflict, into what shall be known henceforth as the War of Darkness, and he and those to whom he is joined are called upon to share the fate of their people, looking forward in hope to the promised coming of dawn after darkest night.

The Land Of The... MIST?

The Land of the Mist is a sweeping tale of reincarnation, betrayal, and the thin line between ordinary life and the uncanny. Once, he was Kokuro—a dutiful person who lived cleanly, worked responsibly, and tried to be the moral pillar his family could depend on. He died in disgrace instead: smothered in debt, abandoned by a wife who chose another, and disowned by the very sons he had sacrificed everything for. At the end of that bitter life, he swore that if fate ever gave him another chance, he would never be used again. He would live only for himself. Fate listened. Reincarnated as Emeritus Akihito, heir to the most powerful noble house in the empire of Serathis, he inherits a life of wealth, servants, and the kind of effortless luxury he once resented from afar. But the empire is divided—between the gilded boots of nobility and the crushed faces of the downtrodden—and Akihito has no desire to serve either side. His vow is simple: remain unseen, cause chaos, and reject the world. Yet his attempts at ruin twist into miracles. The fires he sets burn out corruption. The rumors he spreads topple tyrants. Each cruel act inadvertently ushers peace and prosperity. Legends grow around him, whispered in nursery rhymes and tavern songs. Children trade ghost stories of The Figure of the Mist, a shadowy trickster who walks in fog-shrouded nights. But Akihito knows the truth. That figure already exists. He has seen it watching him from the mist, faceless and patient. He has read its name in storybooks that should not exist. Every night the fog thickens, pressing closer, writing him deeper into a story that seems older than the empire itself. Slice-of-life serenity clashes with creeping dread as Akihito navigates noble courts, village festivals, and simple meals that feel like holy luxuries—while shadows coil, gods whisper, and the line between myth and memory dissolves. The Land of the Mist is a haunting epic where fate cannot be defied, only sharpened, and every act of rebellion writes another page in a legend already foretold.

The Prince At Milden Duke Hall Manor!

Once, long ago, there was a prince who seemed to have everything: a kingdom of shining ivory towers, halls overflowing with gold, and the love of his people. His name was Mildern Yazukaze, heir to splendor and majesty. But beneath the crown lay a truth no one knew-Mildern despised the life he was born to. He longed not for riches or reverence, but for freedom: a quiet life beneath the forest canopy, far from duty and deceit. When betrayal reduced his kingdom to ash, Mildern vanished into the wilderness. For years, he lived in solitude, a ghost of a fallen prince hiding from the world, haunted by the faces he failed to save. His tongue grew sharp to mask his shyness, his heart closed to shield itself from grief. But fate would not leave him forgotten. One day, a strange child stumbled into his secluded forest-innocent, curious, and full of life. Against his will, Mildern was drawn back into connection, forced into the role of reluctant caretaker. Together, the unlikely pair embarked on a journey that would test them both. From quiet mornings in the woods to perilous journeys across war-torn lands, from awkward meals to clashes with dark princes, Mildern slowly begins to face the fears that chained him. But whispers of betrayal and war follow close behind, threatening not only his fragile peace, but the world itself. "The Prince at Milden Duke Hall Manor" is a tale of loss and healing, shyness and strength, of a fallen prince learning-through the bond of an innocent child-that even the most broken heart can take a step forward again.

The Only Answer Is DEATH! (唯一の答えは...DEATH!)

In the sprawling, neon-lit labyrinth of Tokyo, Yasakchiru Mahitaro's life has always been a quiet torment. At 37, trapped in the grueling grind of a supermarket known for overwork and ruthless management, his days are filled with exhaustion, ridicule, and the unshakable shadow of a childhood tragedy. Framed for a fellow student's death, ostracized, and scarred by a world that never forgave him, Mahitaro has spent decades wandering through life like a ghost, surviving but never living. One night, pushed beyond the edge of despair, he ends his life-but death is not the end. Awakening in his own past, he is given a second chance, though it comes tangled with the memories of every failure, every loss, and every death he endured. Trapped in endless loops of time, Mahitaro faces a cruel reality: no matter what he does, fate has a way of repeating itself, and the faces of those he loves-and those who torment him-return with relentless precision. Through the haze of depression and the sting of grief, Mahitaro begins to fight back. With each reset, he searches for patterns, allies, and answers, uncovering the dark figure that has haunted his loops: a mysterious red-haired student whose cruelty and cunning seem limitless. Alongside him is Barisu Vultari, a brilliant but enigmatic peer whose knowledge of time theory may be Mahitaro's only hope of breaking free. The Only Answer Is DEATH! ( 唯一の答えは死だ!) is an emotional, harrowing journey through despair, rage, and resilience. Every reset brings heartbreak, every choice carries the weight of countless lives, and every loop forces Mahitaro to confront the darkest truths about humanity-and himself.

The Prince At Milden Duke Hall Manor: The Movie - HOLLOW FLOWERS!

The Prince At Mildern Duke Hall Manor: THE MOVIE "Hollow Flowers" - Film Description Three weeks after defeating the Hollow Prince, Mildern Yazukaze and the child he protects are summoned before the Council of Eight Wizards—the most powerful mages in existence—for evaluation. Among them sits Kael Valdris, the Prince of Darkness, whose crimson-black magic is slowly corrupting him from within. They are princes on opposite paths: one who fled his throne, one who sacrificed his humanity to keep it. But judgment becomes the least of their concerns when reality itself begins to fracture. Villages vanish as if they never existed. People are forgotten mid-conversation, erased from history while loved ones watch helplessly. The sky cycles through impossible configurations, unable to decide what truth to follow. Time is becoming negotiable, and causality is collapsing. The Council discovers the source: the Loop Bringer, an entity existing outside linear time, powered by paradox and unresolved trauma. And it's hunting Mildern and the child specifically—erasing everything connected to them, working backward through history until they never existed at all. The horrifying truth emerges in conversation once more: the child isn't from this world. He was pulled through dimensions during the worst moment of his life—watching his father murder his mother—by someone who detected the rupture his grief created and weaponized it. That someone is the World Leaper: Mildern's former master, the figure who taught him magic, who destroyed his kingdom, who has been orchestrating events for forty years to create the perfect weapon. The Loop Bringer feeds on their pain. The child's eternal question—"Why didn't I save her?"—cycles without resolution, bleeding power into an entity designed to rewrite reality itself. Mildern's shame over his kingdom's fall serves as the historical anchor. Together, their unresolved suffering generates infinite fuel for the World Leaper's plan to escape this dying reality. To stop it, they must do the impossible: heal from trauma that was deliberately kept fresh and bleeding. Face memories weaponized against them. Accept what happened instead of being crushed by it. And when the World Leaper arrives to protect his greatest work, Mildern must battle the person who made him—while choosing clarity over the rage that's been waiting eight years for this exact moment. This is a story about what it costs to survive when the world wanted you broken. About choosing to be human when being a weapon would be easier. About two people learning that their pain doesn't have to serve someone else's purpose. Some scars never fade. But they can become proof that you survived.

Eien: The Headset Of Forever!

In a world draped in gray, seven-year-old Majiru Tatiru lives a life of silence and shadows, where warmth and laughter have long abandoned his small, crumbling apartment. Each day is a repetition of chores, cold meals, and the quiet despair of being invisible in his own home. But everything changes the night he receives a mysterious VR headset - sleek, humming, and impossibly alive. Once placed upon his head, the ordinary world fractures, and Majiru awakens in Eien, a digital realm of glimmering forests, floating towers, and monsters that lurk in the mist. Here, he inhabits the body of his older self, a figure of strength and poise he has never known, and discovers he is marked by a mysterious emblem - a symbol that binds him to The Misty Three, a team of warriors, mages, and rogues who will become the family he never had. As Majiru trains, fights, and learns to navigate the beauty and danger of Eien, he begins to uncover the whispers of a hidden force: the Cult of Immortality, entities born from despair, seeking to trap consciousness within the world forever.

In this story of courage, friendship, and the fractured self, Majiru must confront not just monsters and quests, but the fragments of his own heart - learning that sometimes the strongest battles are fought within, and the greatest victories are finding connection in a world that feels both unreal and painfully real. As his friends help guide him through it. or are they they just his friends. and not really family members hiding behind the masks of their pasts. Welcome to Eien: The Headset Of Forever! 「エイエン:不滅のヘッドセット」へようこそ! 灰色に包まれた世界で、7歳のマジル・タティルは静寂と影の中に生きていた。彼の小さく、崩れかけたアパートからは、温もりと笑い声がとうの昔に消え去っていた。繰り返される家事、冷めた食事、そして自分の家ですら透明人間であるかのような静かな絶望――それが彼の日常だった。しかし、ある夜、すべてが一変する。彼が手に入れたのは、洗練されたフォルムで微かな唸りを上げ、まるで命を宿しているかのような不思議なVRヘッドセットだった。 それを頭に装着した瞬間、ありふれた日常は砕け散り、マジルは「エイエン(Eien)」という名のデジタル領域で目を覚ます。そこは、きらめく森、浮遊する塔、そして霧の中に潜む怪物たちが存在する世界だった。ここで彼は、かつて知ることのなかった強さと気品を兼ね備えた「成長した自分」の姿となり、体に刻まれた謎の紋章に気づく。その印は、彼を「ミスティー・スリー」へと導く運命の象徴だった。戦士、魔術師、盗賊からなるそのチームは、孤独だった彼にとって、かつて持てなかった「家族」のような存在になっていく。 マジルはエイエンの美しさと危険の中を駆け抜け、戦い、成長していく。だがその裏で、ある不穏な囁きを耳にするようになる。それは、絶望から生まれ、人々の意識をこの世界に永遠に閉じ込めようと企む「不滅の教団」の影だった。物語が進むにつれ、現実とデジタルの境界、生者と失われた魂の残響の境目は曖昧になっていく。そしてついに、彼は大切な友人や家族の正体、そして隠された過去と対峙することになる。 これは勇気と友情、そして「砕かれた自己」を巡る物語である。マジルが立ち向かうのは、怪物やクエストだけではない。自分自身の心の破片とも向き合わなければならないのだ。時に最も過酷な戦いは自らの内側で繰り広げられ、最大の勝利とは、虚構と現実が入り混じる世界の中で本当の「繋がり」を見つけることなのだと、彼は学んでいく。 彼を導く仲間たちは、本当にただの友人なのだろうか。それとも、過去という名の仮面の裏に隠れた、本当の家族なのだろうか。
