"Finally, it's over." When my engagement was broken off, the emotion I felt wasn't despair—it was a deep sense of relief. No more brutal training to become the Crown Princess, no more endless overtime, and no more days spent wasting away. Leaving it all behind, I chose a new life as the caretaker of an old, neglected library known as the "Graveyard of the Royal Palace." The job is simple: sit there until it's time to head home, clear away the dust with magic, and file away stray documents. I should have been perfectly happy with that. Yet, for some reason, a pale-faced knight now visits me every day for my tea, the catalog I made just to help me slack off is being worshipped as a "Sage's Masterpiece," and the ex-fiancé I thought I'd discarded is chasing after me in a total panic. All I want is to crawl back into my fluffy bed and sleep in. So why won't the entire kingdom just leave me alone?

Between the lady who hates labor and the statesman who forgot how to rest, what kind of contract will be forged when their interests align?

The year 2000. While the world was on guard against the 'Y2K bug' crashing computers, it wasn't the technology that glitched that day—it was reality itself. Dungeons suddenly appeared across the globe, and the world transformed into an 'Explorer Society.' While modern explorers rely heavily on 'System Corrections,' middle-aged explorer Keisuke Minato is different. Having started his journey at the age of 22, he deliberately chose a path without system support for one simple reason: 'A real man sticks to manual controls. Who could rely on soft features like auto-mode?' Driven by this stubborn aesthetic, he has remained 'Full Manual' for ten years—a total eccentric. One day, Keisuke receives an abrupt notification from the system: 'Notification: Cumulative kill count reached. Granting high-tier skills... Scanning.' 'Avatar log confirmed. No history of auto-skill usage.' 'Warning: Subject's biological data significantly exceeds standard values. Poison Resistance Level: MAX.' 'Recommendation: Avatar protection deemed unnecessary. Unlocking frozen protocol [Autonomous Evolution].' Instead of receiving powerful skills, the management system effectively decided he didn't need them. In their place, he was granted a growth system unlike any other explorer. As a result, Keisuke's body begins to evolve beyond biological limits. His skin becomes tougher than dragon scales, and his fists can crush even the logic of the system itself. 'Alright, time to go home and have a beer.' This is the story of a middle-aged man the administrators gave up on, only for him to be chosen as the 'Strongest Legacy.' With gritty craftsmanship and an ever-evolving body, he physically resolves—smashes—everything from incoming assassins to deep-floor monsters.

Do you have a story that holds a special place in your heart? Whether it’s a masterpiece hailed as a 'god-tier game,' a 'trash game' you cleared out of pure spite, or just an average title—every game leaves behind memories. Maybe the characters were great but the story was lackluster, or the narrative was brilliant but the gameplay fell short. Or perhaps it was a flawless masterpiece. Everyone has that one favorite etched into their memory. This story takes place in the world of one such game. For the boy reborn there, it was a title he spent his youth on, one he remembers vividly. If you were thrown into such a world and told you were free to do as you please, how would you react? This is the tale of a boy who experienced just that. Whether he respects the original plot or tears it to pieces is entirely up to him. But never forget—this world is no longer just a game. It is a tangible reality.

Young Flum was chosen by divine prophecy to be a member of the party destined to defeat the Demon King. While the rest of the Hero's party consists of top-tier elites, Flum somehow lacks any combat ability and all her stats are zero. Despite feeling like a burden, she works tirelessly to be of use to her comrades. However, one day, she is betrayed by a party member and sold to a slave merchant with the parting words, "We don't need you anymore." Forced to survive in a wretched environment as a slave, Flum encounters a "cursed sword" and discovers the true potential of her supposedly weakest ability, "Inversion." Having finally gained the power to fight, she decides she no longer cares about the Demon King and chooses to live a quiet life as an adventurer alongside a slave girl she meets. This is the story of a girl who crawls up from rock bottom to reclaim her peaceful daily life.

Branded as 'useless' because she possesses almost no healing magic, Algerita has been working deep in the forest as a dragon caretaker—a job described as 'noble and indispensable,' yet so grueling that no one else would take it. One morning, she is informed by her family that her fiancé has dumped her for her younger sister and that she is being married off as the second wife of an elderly general. Sent to the Duke's estate without a choice, Algerita is greeted not by an old man, but by the young Duke Margas, who reveals that his grandfather, the general, has already passed away. With nowhere left to go, Algerita begs Margas for a job so she can support herself, only for him to reply: 'If you want a job, you should just become my wife.' Caught off guard by the sudden proposal, she finds herself accepting his unexpected offer.

This is the story of Ryo, a man reincarnated into a world of swords and magic. Using his water-attribute magic to survive, he embarks on what he self-proclaims to be a 'classic' fantasy adventure. A core highlight of the series is the humorous, Manzai-style banter between Ryo and his companion Abel. In their typical exchanges, Ryo often teases Abel with absurd claims—like offering him grilled wyvern despite being a water mage—just to bait Abel into a 'proper' comedic retort. This lighthearted story focuses on fun character interactions and survival rather than harem tropes or complex kingdom-building. The published light novel version features over one million words of additional content and exclusive side stories not found in the original web version.

"I have something to tell you. I have no intention of loving you as my wife." Immediately following their wedding ceremony, Melfina is told these cold words by her new husband, Alexis. After wrestling a remote, underdeveloped territory away from Alexis and leaving the ducal estate, Melfina's only companions are Cedric, a guard assigned by Alexis to keep watch over her, and Marie, a taciturn maid. Having regained memories of her past life just before the wedding, Melfina realizes she has been reincarnated into the world of "Maria of the Heart Kingdom"—an otome game often mocked for its excessive focus on trivia. Furthermore, she is Melfina von Ordland, the villainess of Alexis's route. With a family she doesn't get along with and a husband who refuses to love her or father her children, Melfina finds the whole situation ridiculous. She’s done with her parents and her new family! There’s no way she’s going to become a villainess for a man like that and end up exiled to a monastery. Having lived a life of misfortune followed by an unhappy marriage, Melfina resolves to find happiness for herself, regardless of what her family or husband thinks. (Note: This story takes place in an otome game world; all cultures, customs, and religions depicted are fictional.)
