Lucian thought he was doing the right thing—fulfilling an old man's dying wish. It wasn't much, really. He deleted the old man's browser history and, as a final touch, even placed a couple of R-18 magazines in his grave for good measure. You know, to make sure the old guardian had a peaceful afterlife, free of shame. The reward for his good deed? He got killed by a ghost that very same day. No, this isn't some twisted horror story.

To set expectations: I am not the literary offspring of J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter) or Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes). This tale may be somewhat unrefined, sprinkled with typos and moments of grammatical rebellion.

Synopsis Will Pandora's Box of Human Cloning Be Opened? In 1997, Dr. Ian Wilmut of the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland, introduced the world to "Dolly," the first cloned sheep. By 2015, the American company VIAGEN PETS had become the first in the world to clone deceased dogs and cats, producing hundreds of cloned animals and establishing itself as the largest animal cloning company in the United States. In May 2023, a baby with DNA from three parents was born at the Newcastle Fertility Centre in the UK, made possible through mitochondrial replacement technology. As of 2024, we find ourselves in the age of AI, with expectations that AI will soon evolve into AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), capable of thinking like humans and even surpassing human intelligence. AGI is anticipated to address long-standing challenges in genetic engineering and biotechnology swiftly and effectively. But what happens when human desires come into play? What if a beloved child, spouse, parent, or even a renowned politician or scholar passes away? With sufficient funding and stable technology, could they be cloned? Even in the Bible, the birth of Jesus is described as asexual reproduction. According to Christian doctrine, Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. This event, known as the "virgin birth," signifies a departure from the typical human reproductive process. This belief is a foundational doctrine of Christianity, underscoring both the divinity and humanity of Jesus. While the concept of asexual reproduction differs from traditional scientific reproductive methods, it is viewed through the lens of faith as divine intervention. Currently, biotechnology is advancing rapidly in most areas, with the exception of core somatic cell cloning. This progress is gradually resolving uncertainties and instabilities while pushing the boundaries of what is deemed divine. A top-down approach, which entails completing surrounding technologies before developing nuclear weapons and only adding the warhead when conditions are right, is already being applied in genetic engineering and biotechnology. In the United States, violations of the Human Cloning Prohibition Act can result in penalties of up to 10 years in prison or fines exceeding $1 million. If someone is willing to take that risk...? The Pandora's Box of human cloning is already upon us.

Upon awakening, finding myself in the world of a novel I once read – "The Birth of a Hero." This story chronicled the adventures of Choi Han, a high schooler ripped from Earth and deposited in this fantastical realm alongside countless other heroes-in-the-making. Unfortunately, I wasn't one of those heroes. Instead, I landed smack dab in the middle of the story as a member of the despised Count's family. This family just so happened to rule the territory where Choi Han encounters his first village. The problem? That village gets obliterated by assassins, leaving Choi Han deeply traumatized. The even bigger problem? This idiotic, good-for-nothing character I'd become had no clue about the village's destruction and ends up provoking Choi Han. Needless to say, I got flattened. "...This," I groaned, "is a serious predicament." But hey, at least it's a new life, right? Here's hoping it's a bit less... destructive. ------------------------------------- Disclaimer: This is an unofficial translation of the novel "Lout of Count's Family."

After being deceived by a scumbag and left penniless, Qian Duoduo decided to use her remaining savings to maintain a contract marriage with a young and handsome husband. So, she set her sights on Chen Shu, who couldn't even afford a train ticket. Firstly, he looked handsome, which would let her maintain her reputation when she took him out. Secondly, he was so poor that he would be easy to support. Gathering her courage, she said to him, "Hi, do you remember when we were on the same train, and I paid 600 yuan for you?" The man's cool eyes remained calm as if he had no emotions before replying, "I remember." "I urgently need to get married. Will you marry me?" The man glanced at her coldly. Just when Qian Duoduo thought she must be crazy to propose to a man she had only met once, he replied, "Okay." But as the days went by, she gradually realized that something was off about this contract husband. The fake diamond ring she used to show off turned out to be a one-of-a-kind luxury brand ring that could only be custom-made once in a lifetime.

One day, she saw a photo of the wealthiest man in their city being interviewed by a certain magazine, and the man casually sitting on the sofa, legs crossed, discussing the electricity and water bills for the month, was... her husband!

There's just one thing: Scottie Santos is a virgin. Okay, well, that's not the problem, really. She actually has a disgustingly obsessive porn addiction. It's something that constantly seems to be on her mind and even begins bleeding into her everyday life. So, Scottie decides that her only solution is going clubbing or hanging out with friends whenever she can to abstain from said addiction. But, on the complete opposite end of the spectrum, she struggles from 'Pure O' Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (something she's self-diagnosed herself with.) As she puts it, her mind can imagine anyone and anything between her legs, anyone and anything. These intrusive thoughts seem to plague her no matter what the situation which leads her to compulsively research her condition or 'train' her brain into having healthy sexual thoughts by consuming porn. So the only thing left to say is, what the fuck is Scottie supposed to do?
