The Ultimate Legendary Investigator

The hapless corporate drone Hinata Hajime has worked diligently for years, only to get snatched away to another world and put to work.

That world is on the brink of destruction, shrouded in miasma and fog, plagued by horrifying mutations, and coveted by ancient gods.

The world's consciousness: We've lost all hope!!! We need Super High School Level Hope to save the world!!!

Hinata Hajime shoulders the fragments of hope and gets to work saving the world.

He fights monsters on days one, three, and seven, while another version of himself takes over on days two, four, and six.

A mysterious investigator appears out of nowhere.

The authorities are tight-lipped about him. All they know is that he's the world's hope.

His followers both adore and hate him, because he's closer to the gods than anyone, yet defies them.

Hinata Hajime's response: I'm really just some random passerby!

In this Kamukura x Hinata story, the timeline is after the Future Foundation. Hinata is already a seasoned corporate drone. (The Future Foundation really did a number on him.jpg)

Classmates from the first, second, and third games will appear.

I'm fully on board with Kamukura x Hinata as a selfcest pairing, whether you see it as one person or two.

The chariot's owner says Xia Mi is a spirit of the dead, which means the two of them are legally married according to the rules.

Married life is dull, after all, his husband is a cold-faced workaholic.

Oh no, his husband is a carnivore.

After Being Forced to Pick Up Poseidon [Greek Mythology]

Zhao Yan transmigrates into Greek mythology and becomes a mermaid at the bottom of the food chain.

Life in the sea is full of danger, with countless monsters. He escapes death again and again.

When he finally gets a chance to catch his breath, he hears gossip about a true ruler soon to be born in the sea.

The ruler is violent and unpredictable, and all the fish are on edge.

Terrified, Zhao Yan swims to the shallows in the middle of the night and finds an unconscious man.

You shouldn't pick up a man by the roadside, and you definitely shouldn't pick one up in the sea.

Zhao Yan knows the tropes and immediately runs away.

But the man wakes up on his own and offers himself to Zhao Yan.

The sea man is powerful, brutal, and bloodthirsty. Zhao Yan thinks he's picked up a shark.

After every fight, the man likes to rub against him. What is that supposed to mean?

The man keeps insisting he's protecting Zhao Yan.

A storm hits, the sea churns, and whirlpools form everywhere.

Zhao Yan and his sea man are forced apart.

The man grimaces fiercely. He'll sniff out Zhao Yan's scent like a shark and claim him.

Zhao Yan sighs. The sea is so vast, they'll probably never see each other again.

Clinging to a faint hope, he sits on a rock day and night, gazing into the distance.

What if they meet again?

Suddenly, the sea roils and enormous waves rise. The sea monsters cry out that Poseidon, ruler of the sea, is angry.

Zhao Yan doesn't care about the sea god in the tangled, chaotic mythology, and keeps looking out to sea.

What if his wild man sees him?

The giant waves subside before Zhao Yan, and the familiar wild man shows up and pulls him into his arms.

The sea monster, nearly fainting with terror: Run! It's Poseidon, the sea god!!!

Zhao Yan: ?

The man he picked up was Poseidon, the sea king?!

It takes Zhao Yan a long time to learn that when sea creatures rub against someone, they're expressing affection and desire.

My Childhood-Friend Husband Became a Fighting-Ring Madman

Chu Xin transmigrates into the high-martial-arts power fantasy novel I Am the Emperor, a story all about crazies, thrills, dominance, and demolishing buildings everywhere.

He hasn't read the novel, though. He only knows the clickbait title.

He lives in constant fear that he'll lose his life, but his house isn't so lucky. The villains keep forcibly demolishing it, leaving Chu Xin in dire poverty.

Fortunately, the one blessing in his life is that he isn't alone.

Chu Xin and his childhood-friend husband rely on each other.

Not long after they get married, Chu Xin realizes his husband isn't coming home anymore.

After watching short videos, Chu Xin cries: If your husband doesn't come home, he's probably cheating.

Heartbroken, he finally finds his husband, ready to divorce him.

His husband's hug is so tight it nearly chokes Chu Xin.

Husband, when did you start working out so hard at the gym?!

Wait, why are you covered in injuries?!

It turns out his husband has been fighting in underground matches to support their family.

He stayed away because he didn't want Chu Xin to worry.

Chu Xin is heartbroken for him and decides to work more overtime so his husband can fight less.

Then Chu Xin gets a notice that his husband has died, and that his body can't be found.

He's a widower now.

At the same time, the authorities release images of extremely dangerous madmen.

The announcement says they're all bloodthirsty lunatics, and one man is the maddest of them all.

They give him the codename "Mad Dog."

Danger level: SSS

But Chu Xin only sees that it's his husband!

When Chu Xin finds his husband, the man is in the middle of a frenzied fight.

Blood sprays everywhere, and the scene is a blur of censorship mosaics.

The good news: his husband is alive!

The bad news: his husband has amnesia and can only think about fighting.

To distinguish this madman of a husband from the one who had his memories, Chu Xin calls him Xiao Bai.

The first thing his husband does after getting his memories back is get jealous of himself.

Who is Xiao Bai?! Is he your new husband?!

Chou Baisheng grew up in poverty, and Chu Xin is the only thing he holds dear.

He wants more money for Chu Xin.

While fighting in the underground matches, he realizes something is wrong. It seems the organizers are pitting the fighters against each other like poisonous insects in a jar.

After becoming champion, he thinks he can make enough money and run away with Chu Xin.

He miscalculates. Before losing consciousness, he wonders if Chu Xin will remarry.

Then rage brings him back to his senses.

The thought of Chu Xin remarrying makes him swear that even if he's reduced to a mangled heap of flesh and blood, he'll crawl back and take him back!

Anatole was born in the best of times, but he was still just an insect.

An orphan, he suffered through hardship after hardship.

He realized that even in a golden age, some people had to be left behind.

Unwilling to accept that fate, he managed to get close to a successful American capitalist.

He knew the rich from the New World had come to earn social prestige, so he pretended to be a British aristocrat and won the man's favor.

Their secret affair began.

Cuthbert knew from the start that Anatole wasn't an aristocrat.

He stroked the calluses on Anatole's hands and met his deep blue eyes.

It was no different from taking in a Chartreux cat.

The little cat felt insecure, so of course he had to spend more time with him.

The day the truth came out, Anatole fled in a panic.

When Cuthbert found him, Anatole thought he was done for.

Instead, Cuthbert proposed to him.

Anatole: I'm not an aristocrat.

Cuthbert: I knew that ages ago.

Cuthbert: You were a terrible actor, but I was more than happy to let you fool me.

I'd like to recommend my pen pal Yun Qiyunqi's new story: Fries for the Seagull! Here's the blurb:

After Shen Yuqing's study-abroad funding is cut off, he faints from hunger in his rented apartment. As his consciousness fades, he swears that in his next life he'll be a seagull:

He can fly.

He can steal fries from tourists.

He can go crazy whenever and wherever he wants, without a care in the world.

The next morning, he wakes up and stretches out his fluffy wings, making a "caw caw caw caw" sound.

He really has become a seagull.

Yan Nuo is a loner who shuts himself away in a room with the doors and windows always closed. The one time he opens a window, he finds a half-dead seagull.

He wants to release it, but it's so skinny that it clearly won't survive, so he has no choice but to take care of it for now.

The gull is clingy. When Yan Nuo plays video games, it stands on his shoulder and cries, "Aah, aah!"

When Yan Nuo does his homework, it looks at the screen full of red Xs and sighs, "Sigh, sigh."

When Yan Nuo showers, the gull squeezes through the door and perches on his head, beak open to drink the water from the showerhead.

Yan Nuo carries the gull outside, but when he turns around, it's already climbed back onto his soap rack.

"Aaaaaah!"

Yan Nuo can barely keep himself together, so how can he take care of a living creature?

He lies on his bed, staring into space. The doorbell rings, and a slender figure stands outside.

As a human seagull with no survival skills, Shen Yuqing faints from hunger and cold by the side of the road.

When he opens his eyes again, he's in a luxury apartment downtown. The gloomy rich guy who picked him up is an old acquaintance: Yan Nuo, the wealthy young heir in his department who skips class every day.

Yan Nuo doesn't look well, but when he realizes Shen Yuqing is awake, he immediately puts down his game and eagerly breaks off half a piece of fried chicken sprinkled with gold leaf for him.

"Here, here, here. Want some?"

Shen Yuqing: "?"

Is he supposed to eat his own kind? That's kind of interesting...

Shen Yuqing doesn't care about that sort of thing. After eating his fill, he perches on the rich guy's shoulder and, the next time Yan Nuo tries to sleep in and skip class, mercilessly kicks him awake.

By chance, the gull hears that Yan Nuo's family wants to find a tutor for him because he fails every class, and it perks right up.

As Yan Nuo opens the door for the new tutor, he figures this will just be a cold financial transaction, one thousand an hour.

But when the person stands in front of him, he can't shake the feeling that they know each other somehow.

The young tutor smiles, showing two little canine teeth, and chatters away as he explains the lessons, full of life.

Yan Nuo thinks that maybe learning a little won't be entirely unbearable.

Shen Yuqing discovers that his vow to heaven has only half come true: every day, he turns into a seagull for half the day.

But to him, that's a good thing.

By day, he diligently tutors and works part-time. At night, the hungry seagull shows up right on time at Yan Nuo's window.

Winter turns to spring. Sunlight filters into Yan Nuo's room, where the doors and windows used to stay shut, and Shen Yuqing becomes a fluffy little feathered gas canister.

Other gulls: "Hey, gull bro, want to come to the docks and grab some fries with us?"

Shen Yuqing: "No thanks, I'm going to my rich buddy's classmate's house to grab some high-end stuff."

Theme: Even in despair, face it together and move toward the future.
