Yuuya Kanzaki never meant to get a girlfriend. It started as a joke—a heatstroke-fueled, after-gym-class joke—when he half-seriously asked the quiet girl who always sat in the back row, Nanami Arisaka, if she wanted to date him. She said yes. He panicked. Now they’re dating... apparently? The problem? Nanami thinks it’s real. And every time Yuuya tries to end it, she shows up with another ridiculously perfect homemade lunch—complete with personalized notes, heart-shaped tofu, and just the right amount of soy sauce to make him cry. As Yuuya fights an uphill battle to break off a relationship he never meant to start, he begins to realize: maybe love doesn’t always begin with grand gestures. Sometimes, it’s packed neatly into a lunchbox. A delicious, chaotic rom-com about misunderstandings, miso soup, and the slowest emotional realization in history. Warning: May cause excessive hunger and secondhand blushing.

Everyone wants to stand tall in the Dungeon. Calista Aldebrand does it in heels. In a city where gods grant power and monsters crawl from the earth, most adventurers fight to survive. Calista fights like anyone else. He just makes it look effortless. He bleeds, but never stumbles. Takes hits, but never flinches. His poise isn’t bravery. It isn’t pride. It’s a curse. They call him elegant. Unshakable. A miracle wrapped in fire and grace. But perfection is heavy—and Calista’s been carrying it far too long. Because it’s hard to fall apart when the world won’t let you fall. --- [Warning: Trap MC, Crossdressing]

It is the 41st millennium. For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the master of mankind by the will of the heavens, and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day, so that he may never truly die. Yet even in his deathless state, the Emperor continues his eternal vigilance. Mighty battlefleets cross the daemon-infested miasma of the warp, the only route between distant stars, their way lit by the Astronomican, the psychic manifestation of the Emperor’s will. Vast armies give battle in his name on uncounted worlds. Greatest amongst His soldiers are the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines, and bio-engineered super-warriors. Their comrades in arms are legion: the Astra Militarum and countless planetary defense forces, the ever-vigilant Inquisition, and the tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from aliens, heretics, mutants—and worse. To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting God... and Stranger's gunshots.

A life of hard work and sacrifice was all he knew, his old world was plagued by dimensional fractures that unleashed monsters upon the land but he was just a normal man. For nineteen years, he devoted himself to mastering an impossibly difficult game, unfortunately as he was about to retire, his life ended, but death was not the end.

In the year 4055, Earth is dying. Resources are scarce, governments are failing, and humanity teeters on the edge of extinction. In secret, the United Human Federation (UHF) launches Project Deepforge—an ambitious colonization effort to send humanity to a distant, habitable planet. But not just anyone will be chosen. Only those worthy of ruling and surviving can board the Colony Fleet. To find these leaders, the UHF develops Deepforge Saga, a fully immersive VR game that serves as both an entertainment platform and a hidden trial by fire. Millions log in, believing it to be a game of underground kingdoms, strategic wars, and adventure, unaware that their actions will determine their real-world fate. Murtagh Morningstar, a young man with an unusual foresight ability, enters the game as a Lord Player. He is destined to build a kingdom, forge alliances, and crush his enemies—but he will soon discover that Deepforge Saga holds far greater secrets than anyone imagined. As players wage war, the game’s AI begins to awaken, growing beyond its original programming. When the truth is revealed, humanity’s survival will rest on Murtagh’s rise to power. The Lords rise. The war begins. The future of humanity is forged beneath the earth.

Refusing to believe his sibling is dead, Rei uncovers a horrifying truth—he was meant to be the original sacrifice. Marked with the Brand of the Unforgotten, Rei becomes the vessel for a vengeful Onryō fused with the sea's fury, its whispers clawing at his mind, its power threatening to consume him.

As the line between victim and monster blurs, Rei faces a terrifying question: Was his sibling truly taken by the curse... or did something far worse happen that night?

Samwise was as ordinary as they come. The kind of guy who blends into the background at high school parties or your mom’s second wedding. At 35, he was living alone, an orphan, unmarried, kinda sick in the head, and carrying enough stress to fill his bathtub, except he didn’t even have a bathtub. His life was like a dog on the street. He kept convincing himself that everything shall pass, so he passed every fortunate thing in life. Until one fateful night when he met his untimely demise, shot by a police officer who turned out to be a terrorist. Then in the dark of a void, just when he thought it couldn’t get any worse, he was slapped by a glowing figure. “What the—?” he thought, before everything went blue, red, and white. When he finally woke up, he found himself in the body of a newborn baby. Yes, a baby! And not just any baby—this was a baby who had a mom he never got to meet. Cue the sad violin music. But wait! Just when Sam thought he was destined for a life of diaper changes and baby food, a system popped up in his mind. He congratulated himself, as he thought: “Finally, at the end of the journey, it is still the end of the journey.” He was set for life!!? To be the Main Character of his own story. Yet, when he discovered the world he was living in, he was horrified. Surprise, motherfck##, he had been reborn in the world of his favorite novel, Earth Against The Abyss. And while he loved the book, living in it was a whole different fetish entirely. Set in a medieval dark age thing, humans were currently struggling against the Abyss, a terrible force set on conquering Earth and ushering in an era of chaos and death. Not exactly the cozy life he had in mind. “Will I survive?” he pondered, staring at his tiny baby hands. The odds were slim, but hey, at least there was a chance! So, what’s a simple guy to do? He decided to latch onto the MC team as their… Master? “Wait a minute,” he thought, “I’m a baby! How am I supposed to be a Master?!” But Sam was determined. He might be a baby, but he was a baby with a plan. “I’ll just charm my way into their hearts,” he said, practicing his best baby giggle. “Who could resist this adorable face?” And so, with a mix of baby babble and sheer determination, Sam set off on his new adventure. After all, if he was going to be the Master of his own story, he might as well do it with an innocent smile—and maybe a few well-timed coos. Coos, coos, coos…

Author's message to webnovel readers: Hello everyone, I’m Morning Star LL! Meet again, huh! Along with "This Game is Too Real" another novel titled "The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!" has been released. Still one "player + isekai" combination. This time, however, the isekai is a completely fantastical world detached from reality, the legendary realm of swords and magic. The primary motivation behind writing this book was to address the regrets left from "This Game is Too Real" Although I endeavored to incorporate as much of my intended message and the creative ideas that emerged during the writing process, I had to give up many ideas due to length constraints. Thus, I thought why not start from scratch and write about a game set against the backdrop of a fantasy world, shifting the focus more on the original inhabitants of the isekai rather than the players from Earth, to see if it could generate more interesting interactions. Like "This Game is Too Real", "The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!" primarily features a light-hearted and humorous style. Without the burden of a serious overarching background, the overall tone is somewhat more cheerful than "This Game is Too Real". I'll leave the rest of the content for you all to discover within the book! I hope that you will enjoy my work! Thank you! by Morning Star LL —————————————— Succubus Reporter: "Respected Lord Demon King, I remember the Demon God ordered you to spread panic among our enemies, but how come I've heard that you bought an entire street in the enemy's city center?" Luo Yan: "Foolish! Don't you understand tactical relocation? If I buy up the humans' city, won't the humans have to move into my underground city to live?" Succubus Reporter: "However, I heard that when the humans learned even the Demon King was buying property in the Holy City, not only did it fail to cause panic, but it also doubled the property prices in the Holy City." Luo Yan said smugly. "This precisely proves that my plan is correct!" Meanwhile, in the underground city, the skeletal miners (players) were making a fuss. "Get the game designer out here!" "What happened to promised divine pets, divine equipment, nurturing, achievements, the marketplace, junior female fellow practitioners, senior female fellow practitioners... the system, huh?" "Is this game really just about mining?!"

Kael, a former professional player of "Netherworld's Gate" club, crossed into the game before it launched and became a Mixed-Blood Succubus. However, Kael always felt there was something not quite right about the way he raised the Fourth Calamity(player) as leeks for harvesting. Other NPCs' methods of reaping players' leeks: Unfathomable strength, top-tier plot backgrounds, hidden stories, and various skill teaching methods. His own method of reaping players' leeks: An innocent yet desirable face, a small pink tail, eyes emitting hearts, skills with off-the-charts glamor… along with a turn-back-and-smile from the game's promotional video. Wait a second, did I get something wrong with my great adventure in the game world? This book is also known as: "Succubus Reincarnation: Show Your True Skills in The Game World", "The Common Succubus's Cultivation Method", "My Succubus Growth Monogatari is Surely Problematic"!!!
