  • Amidst the steam of the Industrial Revolution, the arcane stirs in silence. Cults and secret societies seek the extraordinary in the shadows, while the hidden gods gaze down from the heavens above. Forbidden knowledge, sacrificial rites, forgotten histories… Mystery is everywhere. And into this strange, spiraling world stumbles Dorothy — an accidental traveler from another realm. To survive in this ever more absurd world, she must cling to one core belief: "Knowledge is power." But what about forbidden knowledge? "Naturally, that’s an even greater power!" (A tale steeped in the eerie, the occult, and the mysterious… Think secret cults and cosmic horror.)

  • What can a single man do in the world of Honkai? Save it, that’s what.

  • "Dad, you've been awfully chummy with Ren-kun from next door lately," Hana Tanaka observed, her eyes narrowed at her father, Kenji Tanaka, who stubbornly was still in her Magical Girl Black outfit. "Ah, Hana-chan! Well, Dad and Ren-kun were just... discussing your future marriage prospects with him!" Black stammered, a bead of sweat forming under her bangs. "Still in that ridiculous getup, Dad? And why haven't you changed back for days? The neighbors are starting to give us looks!" "A Magical Girl must always be vigilant against the encroaching Evil Organization threatening our beloved city!" "Enough excuses! Tell me the truth, Dad!" Hana demanded, hands on her hips. After a long long while of silent, Black sighed, "Hana, my dearest daughter... your dear Okaasan, before she passed, wished for my happiness. And Ren-kun... he's just like her. So gentle, so kind! It must be her, reincarnated as a boy! This magical power, this frilly costume... it was all granted so I could be with her again!" Hana recoiled. "Dad, that's... that's completely ridiculous! You can't actually be planning to marry him!" "And why shouldn't your Dad find a little joy?!" Black fumed, cheeks flushing, "Don't you understand the first thing about filial piety?! One more word of your youthful impertinence, and Ren-kun will be your new step-father by sunset!" "You crazy old fool! So that was your twisted plan all along! Fine! If it's a battle you desire, then a battle you shall receive! Only one Tanaka is walking out of this living room alive!" "Prepare yourself! Witness my ultimate technique! God-Severing Cleave!!"

  • "Do you know what a psychopath is?" "It’s a form of antisocial personality disorder, but it’s innate-hardwired from birth." "Genetic anomalies cause lesions in the frontal lobe of the brain." "The result? They lack the capacity for emotion, for empathy. No guilt, no remorse. Morality is a foreign concept to them." "They’re masters of deception, skilled liars who can mimic human emotions flawlessly, blending into society without a trace." "Now, here’s the real question: if such a monster were to suddenly gain a normal brain-if their missing pieces were somehow restored-would they become more dangerous, or would they finally resemble something human?" In the shadows, a slender figure slowly crouched low, the glint of a silver blade catching the faint light. The edge pressed coldly against a throat. "So," the voice was calm, almost clinical, "this is why you turned me into a woman?"

  • The lecherous Demon Lord Kima, who was once obsessed with women, dies by the Hero's sword and is reborn as a succubus. Casting aside her pride as a Demon Lord, she commits herself to the oblivious Hero, scheming to infiltrate the enemy's ranks and steal away all of his female companions for herself. “I’ll make that bastard regret it so much he’ll be rolling at my feet, begging for mercy!” “Gima?” “Ah, the food’s almost ready! Come have a taste~you first.” “It’s delicious! Meeting you is one of the luckiest things that’s ever happened to me, Gima.” Just you wait, kid. You’ll be crying your eyes out soon enough! You just wait.
