BOOM——
A thunderous explosion.
The entire town trembled.
The Magic Breakers were instantly forced to their knees by the immense pressure from above, howling as they resisted the impact.
"Quick! Activate the Magic Forbidden Domain!" shouted their leader.
In an instant.
The Magic Breakers clenched their fists and struck hard against the inner side of their shields.
WHOOSH——
A deafening hum filled the air as the runes on their shields suddenly multiplied. A massive cross of light appeared, then merged together to form an enormous golden domain.
When the terrifying ice waterfall touched this domain, it immediately dispersed into countless scattered water elements.
The magic was dispelled!
Saint Anna, who was protected in the center, suddenly turned her head and coldly looked towards Nanako:
"I already gave you one chance. Since you didn't cherish it, don't blame me!"
In that moment, she raised her staff and began to chant.
Instantly.
A ripple spread out around Nanako.
Nanako's body suddenly shuddered, and her face turned pale.
She immediately sensed that the omnipresent magical energy and elements around her had been directly dispersed.
Her spell was interrupted.
This was...
A high-level silence spell!
The moment Nanako was silenced, the Magic Breaker squad suddenly turned, shouting loudly as dazzling golden light enveloped their bodies.
"Charge!"
They roared, rushing forward with their shields, instantly reaching maximum speed as they charged towards Nanako.
"A mere mage dares to provoke us Magic Breakers? You must be tired of living!"
The lead Magic Breaker's face twisted in rage as he drew his blade with a clang.
They were Magic Breakers.
All their equipment was specially designed to counter mages and sorcerers.
This was why they didn't take magical organizations like Winter Spring Valley seriously.
But just as they were about to reach halfway...
[Master, don't be provoked so easily. As a mage, there are many ways to deal with them. Rushing into direct confrontation isn't what a mage should do.]
[But since they hate pigs so much, wouldn't it be fun to turn them into pigs too?]
[Let me think... Source Magic... haven't touched this stuff in years, but I should still be able to...]
In that instant.
Lynn's fingers moved slightly within his sleeve, and an almost imperceptible gleam of Source Magic flashed by.
SNAP——
In an instant, under everyone's stunned gaze.
The lead Magic Breaker's body suddenly transformed into a plump black pig.
Nanako immediately widened her eyes, staring at this scene in disbelief.
The young mage girl was even more shocked: "This... this... what's happening..."
But before she could finish speaking.
Several more sounds followed.
SNAP——
SNAP——
The Magic Breakers who had just charged halfway were transformed into black pigs one after another.
"Oink—— Oink——" The black pigs let out terrified squeals.
Clearly, this sudden development was something they had never expected.
Seeing this scene, Saint Anna in the distance changed color dramatically, stepping backward repeatedly, her face instantly turning pale:
"A... curse?! This is impossible! This absolutely cannot be..."
She suddenly raised her head, staring at Nanako from afar, pointing at her viciously:
"I understand now, it's you... it's..."
SNAP——
Before she could finish speaking, a faint light flashed over her body.
In that instant, her body also transformed into a black pig.
In that moment.
The entire scene fell silent.
Nanako and the three white pigs beside her all opened their mouths wide, staring dumbfounded at this sudden development, their jaws nearly dropping to the ground.
On the street, all that remained now were black pigs oinking in terror.
"..."
"..."
Nanako stammered: "This... this..."
Lynn also appeared dumbfounded, unconsciously stepping back, his face pale as he said: "A curse... is it a curse? Damn, I knew this place was strange, we shouldn't have come..."
He immediately turned to Nanako anxiously: "Master, I think we should go back... this place is too dangerous!"
Nanako stared at Lynn up and down blankly.
Looking at his anxious expression and slightly trembling eyes filled with fear.
It was a perfect portrayal of a naive young man's normal reaction, without a single flaw.
The young mage girl beside Nanako was pale-faced, trembling as she gripped her staff:
"It's gotten worse, really worse than a few days ago! Has the curse on this town developed to the point where it can turn people into pigs even in broad daylight?!"
[Yes! Yes! It's gotten worse! We should run!]
[Too terrifying, if we accidentally get cursed and turn into piglets, we'll never change back!!]
[Hey, wasn't I the one who turned them into black pigs? Hehehe——]
Nanako: "..."
So...
What was the point of that whole internal monologue just now?!
Disciple, are you a comedian?!
You almost made your beloved master believe it really was a curse!
Nanako, suddenly no longer afraid, widened her eyes and waved her small hand:
"Everyone, don't panic. Just look at their breed - this must be a coincidence. They met with evil consequences because they were evil, that's why they turned into black pigs. We have righteousness in our hearts, if we were to transform, we'd turn white!"
The young mage girl immediately sighed in relief, wiping cold sweat from her forehead: "Yes, if we were to transform..."
"But they're still pigs!!" the girl cried out.
Nanako secretly glanced at her disciple.
Indeed... how impressive!
When they transformed into black pigs, she hadn't sensed even a trace of magical fluctuation.
Was this the power of a world-class archmage?
Truly amazing!
Nanako then composed herself and turned her gaze to the black pigs squealing in terror, pondering:
"Disciple, what do you think we should do? We can't just leave them here, can we?"
Lynn thought for a moment.
Then pointed towards the market nearby.
[Claude's Pork Shop - Satisfy your stomach, warm your heart!]
A sign above a storefront.
The black pigs (ΩДΩ): "!!!!"
Nanako immediately widened her eyes, worried: "This... isn't right, selling them to a pork shop... isn't that too cruel..."
Lynn held up his fingers, making some calculations.
Nanako swallowed hard, her small hands anxiously pinching her lips: "Fifty silver coins each... that's... that's a lot... could buy lots of ice cream..."
The black pigs cried in terror: "Oink—— Oink—— Oink——"
Lynn made some more calculations, then coughed.
Nanako's ahoge suddenly stood straight up as she stared in shock: "Raise them... ourselves? I suppose we could... one sow, twenty boars..."
Nanako counted on her fingers in confusion: "Five piglets per litter, nine in two litters..."
The black pig that was Saint Anna shook her head frantically, (ΩДΩ) going: "Oink—— Oink——"
The other black pigs looked at each other, suddenly falling silent.
After a while.
Nanako shook her head vigorously, her ponytail swaying, and poked Lynn with her finger, glaring:
"What are you thinking! Don't give your master such terrible ideas, they're people too, this isn't right!"
"People?" Lynn asked puzzled: "There are no people here."
The black pigs: "!!!"
"..."
A brief silence.
The young mage girl swallowed and gripped her staff tightly: "That's... that's right, Executive Nanako, I only see a bunch of black pigs, I don't see any people!"
The black pigs: "(ΩДΩ)!!"
The three white pigs nodded vigorously, ^(OO)^ going: "Oink oink oink!"
Nanako fell into a daze.
All the black pigs looked at her in terror, waiting for her response.
A long time passed.
Nanako scratched her ponytail, closed her eyes, and nodded up and down, her ponytail flying, and said, "That's right, Nanako is really being silly, there are only pigs here, where are there any people! (*￣︶￣)! Really!"
The black pigs were immediately terrified, letting out a series of fearful howls.
Just from the previous conversation, they could tell!
They had reached a consensus!
They had indeed reached a consensus!
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy.

I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
