“‘Level up even while offline’?! That’s not a game on ‘easy mode’—that’s just an AFK game!” The online game Yamada Kenichi had been playing religiously is shutting down its servers, leaving him with a void in his heart. He looks for a new game to fill it, but everything he finds is way too easy. The kind of game he likes—the kind punishing enough to make players want to spend thousands of hours on it—just isn’t around anymore. “What’s this? ‘You are invited to a game that will never end.’” Kenichi stumbles upon an untitled game, one promising incomparable challenge with unprecedented potential. Without hesitation, he selects the “Hell Mode” difficulty. Lo and behold, he finds himself reincarnated in another world as a serf! Now called Allen, he sets out to unlock the secrets of his mystery-laden Summoner class; without the convenience of walkthroughs, game guides, or online forums, he must grope his way to the top of his new world!

Growing up beneath a mountain of debt his parents left behind, Adrian's life was anything but easy. His only escape? Movies. Games... Especially a blocky little one that's better left unnamed for copyright reasons. Then one day, reality itself broke! A divine rift swallowed him whole and dropped him into the realm of a Goddess who was just as confused as he was. Unfortunately, returning to Earth is impossible. Fortunately, the Goddess made a mistake. A very expensive mistake. Now... armed with suspiciously familiar game mechanics, Adrian finds himself stranded in a cliché fantasy world filled with monsters, kingdoms, magic, and endless opportunities. Most importantly, opportunities to make money. Lots of money. Life-changing amounts of money. The kind of money that makes common sense optional! Trees can be harvested. Stone can be mined. Entire houses can be built in minutes! And apparently, all of this is completely normal. Well... Normal for Adrian at least. As Adrian pursues his dream of becoming ridiculously rich, he somehow profits from situations he really shouldn't, acquires a very unwilling bodyguard, terrifies experts, shows the middle finger to common sense, and repeatedly proves that game logic and reality should never mix! The worst part? It works... most of the time that is. And if this fantasy world expected a brave hero destined to save the day... It couldn't be more wrong. Adrian Mendes is far more dangerous than that!

You know the drill by now, man meets Truck-Kun, Truck-Kun kills man, Truck-Kun apologizes with a get away trip and a phenomenal power. Except in this case Truck-Kun messed up the itinerary and sent you to the wrong place. Well at least Truck-Kun got the power part right. Now to survive.

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
