The moment I opened my eyes, I realized that I wasn't dead. However, I was no longer in my own world. I wasn't in the underworld, any kind of heaven, or a strange afterlife. I was inside a novel I had only heard about in passing. It was a fantasy story that my subordinates always talked about. It was the story of a regular person who entered the body of the 12th prince and embarked on a journey to become heir to the throne of the Emberfield Kingdom and, eventually, the hero of the world. Throughout that journey, the 12th prince encounters mystical creatures who become his allies, assembles a motley crew of warriors, forms alliances with various kingdoms, fights against an evil organization intent on destroying the world, and even becomes the hero known to everyone across all three continents. Whenever my subordinates updated me on the story, I often heard them jokingly wish they could get hit by a truck, enter the book, become the 12th prince, and finally live out such a fairy-tale-like story instead of suffering in the real world. I always laughed and told them that the more they wished for it to happen to them, the more likely it was to happen to somebody else who didn't even want it, so instead of wishing for nonsense, they should get back to work. And as if my words were a curse- When I died, I was the one sent into the book. But the problem was… I wasn't sent into the body of the 12th prince who becomes the hero of 3 continents! I was sent into the body of the illegitimate 13th prince, an EXTRA who died within the very first chapter that had been summarized to me. As I stared at the king, the queen, concubines, and half-siblings, all wishing for his death, I only had one thought. Once I made it out of this situation, I needed to amass enough money and power to protect myself, figure out why and how I had been brought into the story, and live a peaceful and fruitful life away from all the incidents that were sure to happen if I couldn't find a way home. As for what would happen to the kingdom and the rest of the world? It had absolutely nothing to do with me. Let the 12th prince handle it just like he had in the story. I planned on living my own life.

Worse still, he is reborn into a world that has been at war for years, trapped in an ongoing continental conflict. And as if that were not enough, he is reborn as a woman. However, this world possesses magic, and only certain women are capable of using it. Perhaps that part is not so bad after all. "I take back what I said earlier!" Soon enough, the nation he now belongs to prepares to launch a large-scale counteroffensive. As part of this effort, they form a newly developed airborne unit, one that integrates magic users directly into frontline operations.

Some magic is taboo for a reason… the kind of magic that can be so dangerous and takes such an immense toll that it kills you the more you use it. But Feather has been handling the most lethal and forbidden of taboo magic for centuries, an unstable form magic known as the concept of anything. Which, as the name implies, lets him do absolutely anything he wants. Yet instead of seeking recognition for accomplishing the impossible, Feather spends all his time aimlessly wandering all the many pockets of the Udimeia, doing whatever silly things he pleases. He does whatever he wants, and only ever listens to himself. With his power, who could stop him? Luckily for the world, Feather has a hobby of helping people and causing mysterious miracles, a truly marvelous guy... if you ignore all the tricks, threats, and landmarks that have now been destroyed and wiped off the map. And, of course, he hasn’t died… permanently, at least. In another hand of cards, there is Cirrus Aixon, the crown prince of Lilino and future leader of the Central Domain Alliance. A man destined for greatness since the moment he was born, he's been prophesied to save the world and stop reality from breaking, but if he's honest, he'd never wanted that burden. He’d never asked for that role to be his. But he doesn't see any other options but to live by the oracle's words, with his lack of confidence and conviction being very ugly flaws. By the time he's sent on a wild goose chase on his grandmother's order and finds himself attempting to hunt down a miracle worker that no one is even certain exists, Cirrus is just trying to focus on what's expected of him, because the very last thing he wants to do is let people down.

New Body, new universe, deadly problems. As if waking up in the body of a young teenage girl wasn’t bad enough, I couldn’t remember my own name. Worse, it turns out I’m the princess, second heir to the throne, in a kingdom full of infighting and on the brink of collapse. Advisors, nobles, people supposed to be on my side, have their own plans for the throne – the only thing keeping me alive. I don’t know why I’m here, what’s going on, or what to do. But if I don’t figure it out quickly, I’m not going to remain a living princess very long. And, yeah, I awoke tied to a tree in the enemy army. The one that just killed the king, this body’s father. --- In a gritty, realistic medieval world that doesn’t pull punches, Princess Cayce struggles to adjust. A land of terrifying magic, ever-present warfare, deeply rooted patriarchy and, well, a lot of limitations on how a princess can behave.

End
That girl sacrificed her life with a smile. Joining them on their journey to defeat the Demon King was a helpless young magician. She had a cute smile, loved bread, and was happy to be of service to everyone. But her magic...was unleashed in exchange for her lifespan. Without telling anyone, without anyone noticing. She simply smiled and said, "I'm glad I was able to help," and disappeared at the end of their journey. Leaving behind nothing, not even a name or a past... Her companions still don't know. What was the burden of this girl, known as "Wizard-chan"? This is the story of a girl who saved everyone without accepting anyone's love, who disappeared after saving them all. However, in reality, the missing "Wizard-chan" was a member of a long-lived species that could live for tens of thousands of years. So it wouldn't have been a problem if she had used up a little of her lifespan... But now that she's gone, no one can explain that. And, for some reason, their adventure has ended up being aired as an anime in real life on Earth as a "Story of a World Enveloped in Kindness." It's a Misunderstanding + Clouding + Bulletin Board Message format. The clouding affects the characters other than "Wizard-chan" and the anime viewers who were excitedly watching it thinking it was a normal slice-of-life anime. The moment it's discovered that her lifespans have been consumed, hell begins. Everyone hope it has a happy ending.
