Transmigrating into a high-martial world, Lin Ye unexpectedly discovered he had acquired a system— But the problem was, this system didn’t seem to work quite right.[Basic Attack Lv.1] [Thick Hide Lv.1] [Charged Smash Lv.1]…“Hold on, System, I’m obviously a human! Why are the skills you’re giving me so damn weird?”“Negative, Host. You are a goblin. Please abandon your delusions and prepare for battle! This System will absolutely make you the ultimate Boss, never to be raided by adventurers!”It wasn’t until the invasion of the myriad races, when the Demon God flashed a hideous grin and ripped Lin Ye’s head clean off, that the deity finally realized—Wait… was that just this human’s first health bar?!

This is a tale that distorts the scenario of an otome game.An orphan girl named Alicia is attacked by a woman trying to steal her body to become the “heroine”. From the fragmentary knowledge she acquires, Alicia learns that this world is the stage of an “otome game” in a “world of sword and magic”.Having learned the truth from the knowledge she obtained, the immature Alicia dismisses the otome game as “nonsense” and runs away from the orphanage to escape the fate of the “heroine”.A villainess aims to take her life. A fake heroine appears. Alicia trains herself using the fragmentary knowledge she has gained in order to survive, growing into the “Strongest Assassin” that is feared by both the Thieves’ Guild and the Assassins’ Guild.

Being reborn into the isolated world of Goldoria, a land filled with lost civilizations, dead gods, and an ever-spreading decay, Rael must survive, grow, and rise amidst the Era of Ruin — a time where people hide behind high walls and live under a feudal society.Being “lucky” enough to be branded an exile and cast out from the walls of Grandveil, he awakens a system he can’t fully trust, yet must rely on to survive and forge his predestined dominion.------------------------------------------------The system grants no overpowered abilities, no sudden power-ups — only manuscripts, techniques, and blueprints from the pre-Godfall eras.If Rael desires strength, he must earn it through grit, pain, and sweat.

After waking up in the world of ancient Greek mythology, I became a stunningly beautiful young shepherd boy named Eros.Life was carefree, there was always enough to eat and wear, but it was, well... painfully lonely.Until one day, I met her by the river.A girl whose beauty and personality both struck straight into my heart like lightning.We fell in love instantly, sparks flying between us.Then came the twist.After one steamy encounter, the sky suddenly darkened.A majestic figure appeared before me, none other than the Queen of the Gods, Hera herself.“Who are you?” I asked in shock.But the girl in my arms answered before I could finish.“She is Queen Hera,” she said with a mysterious smile.I was stunned. My mind raced.“Then who are you?” I asked nervously.“Are you Hebe, the Goddess of Youth? Or some other goddess?”She shook her head.“No,” she said softly. Her lips curved into a teasing grin.“I’m Zeus, the King of the Gods. So... wanna be my (XXXX)?”***This is a translation all credits to the author***Book cover not mineNote:Some readers might feel that “genderbending” contradicts the mythological setting, so here’s my explanation:First of all, Zeus has always been fluid in gender representation as were many of the early Greek deities.Also, the protagonist’s name isn’t random.Eros, the original primordial god of love symbolized the raw force of love and desire that brought life into being.
