Coming soon: Secret Identity: Grimm's Fairy Tales

To become human again, Zhi Yanyuan Wuchuan, a defective product of a cursed energy experiment, accepted a mission from a System calling itself [Grimm's Fairy Tales].

“Make every child believe in fairy tales, and ensure the name Grimm will be remembered through the ages.”

Zhi Yanyuan Wuchuan smiled and promised the System, “I will play every character, and you will get what you want.”

The System believed its Host, who seemed to have victory in hand.

But it overlooked one thing: having grown up surviving among cursed spirits and curse users, Zhi Yanyuan Wuchuan was chaotic evil.

And so...

Snow White enrolled at Tokyo Jujutsu High. With a gentle touch, she dislocated a cursed spirit's jaw, then forced a poison apple into its mouth as it stared in horror.

Little Red Riding Hood smiled sweetly at Gojo Satoru. Under the red cloth covering her basket was a brain.

Cinderella raised her glass slipper and smashed the heads of the higher-ups in the jujutsu world.

New urban legends began spreading through Yokohama, too: anyone who tried to hurt “Sleeping Beauty” would fall asleep, and anyone who refused someone's request would be turned into a frog...

The protagonists of every story all declared in unison that they were members of [Grimm].

As everyone frantically searched for [Grimm], an elegant young man in an old-fashioned aristocratic outfit appeared on the streets of Yokohama, holding a walking stick.

Facing the wary ability users, he smiled and introduced himself. “My name is Grimm.”

“Why should I wait for a knight or prince to save me? Snow White and Cinderella can establish the kingdom of [Grimm] and be their own empresses.”

The System arrived late to check the results. Seeing the organization [Grimm], already renowned as Tokyo's second-largest power, it was stunned.

Zhi Yanyuan Wuchuan smiled. Every child believes in fairy tales (meaning the storybook protagonists are so notorious they can be used to scare children into going to bed), and Grimm's name is remembered (meaning every organization fears them and their reputation is formidable). Isn't that a job well done?

Coming soon: [Western Crossover] The Villain Reigns

How can you survive in a world teeming with villains?

Be more villainous than the villains, more evil than evil itself.

Become the deepest darkness.

Arland swept the hair from his forehead with one hand and swung a bloodstained battle axe with the other. He asked the Joker, pinned beneath his foot, “Don't you agree, Joker?”

The Joker laughed sharply and clapped. Arland threw back his head and laughed, too.

Then the axe fell.

Arland casually wiped the blood from his hands, tossed the handkerchief aside, and elegantly greeted Batman as he swooped down from the sky. “Good day, Mr. Batman.”

“Get out of my Gotham!”

“Yours?” Arland raised an eyebrow, his smile brazen and taunting. “Not anymore. It's mine now.”

From the moment Arland appeared in Gotham, this suited man wielding a battle axe became the nightmare of villains around the world. They trembled in silence, afraid of being purged from this beautiful world.

And when Arland founded a family, took charge of the underworld, and became a villain feared by villains, darkness knelt before him in reverence and offered him the crown.

“Glory is yours, and power is yours. You shall be crowned king.”

[Synopsis]

The name Wu Li once resounded throughout the Three Thousand Worlds.

He wrested the law back from Meteor City, snatched lives from the jaws of cursed spirits, and restored peace to Yokohama.

But the lives he protected betrayed him.

Amid curses and attacks, the gravely wounded Wu Li turned away without a trace of emotion and accepted the retirement offer from the Time Government.

The Time Government welcomed the strongest-ever Saniwa.

But...

Wu Li looked at the tsukumogami in his citadel, all wreathed in black aura, and fell into deep thought.

“Are these really not curses that need to be exorcised?”

He had hoped to enter a leisurely retirement, savoring an elegant life and staying out of worldly affairs. But in the blink of an eye, old acquaintances came knocking at his citadel's gates.

The Poker-Faced Weirdo, the Bandage-Wearing Weirdo, and Nanami: “Someone who left without a word has no right to retire!”

Unable to let go after all, Wu Li could only stand side by side with his companions once more, slaying madmen and exorcising curses.

The worlds he saved praised his name and mocked the lives that had betrayed him for being blind to what an outstanding savior Wu Li was.

The betrayers wept and begged for forgiveness.

But the savior would never look back at them again.

“The sun and moon fell, the heavens and earth collapsed, and countless worlds would never see another dawn. They died on the edge of the great war.”

“The savior saved the world, and the world offered him a wreath of flowers.”

“But when the people's curses wounded the savior's heart, he chose to turn and walk away.”

Theme: Life above all, peace above all.
