She’s broke and lost everything, left with nothing but debts and liabilities.... more>>

He’s rich and has everything, heir to a multi-billion company.

Two different people, drawn together by their needs or is it fate?

****

Amelia Bell was only 22 years old when her parents, brother, and sister-in-law died in a car crash. Her brother’s injured children are now her responsibility.

She sold everything that she owns, she's in huge debt and all she can do now is just cry her eyes out.

And then it struck her… the answer to her question… where will she get money for the operation?

Right… she hasn't done everything so far, she hasn't tried selling herself yet.

It was a desperate move but she had no other solutions left.

She was immediately pulled back from her thoughts when the man shouted.

"This is insane, his qualifications are simply impossible… Now he asks me to find him a pure and innocent one this time…

Even if they signed a 6-month contract to be his, those women still fell in love with him even if they knew that after 6 months they would be evicted from his life…

… I will never be able to find that pure and innocent woman that he is looking for even if I offer them 5 million upfront."

Without hesitation Amy ran after the man, climbing up the stairs as fast as she could.

"Excuse me, mister."

"What do you need miss? I'm in a hurry."

"I want the job… The 6-month contract, I can do it."

"So I guess you also heard that I need a pure and innocent woman, even I don't know what it means."

"Will a virgin count? I-I'm a virgin, perhaps t-that's what your boss wants, right?" Amy boldly stated.

Then finally the boss, Mr. Welsh faced her… She didn’t expect him to be this young, perhaps almost her age. She was imagining an old man or someone not as handsome as him.

“You should not stop breathing angel, that’s dangerous, you might faint. Who knows what will I do to you once you become unconscious.”

Amy gasped, ‘What the hell just happened to me,’ she cursed internally while still staring at the man in front of him.

He then leaned closer to her.

“I've heard you've got something for me. I can't wait to receive your gift, my angel. I'm Henry.” <<less

Neir Featherburn Agustus is a typical office worker who works a standard 9-to-5 job at a large call center.... more>>

His life wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great either; he was a decent middle-class single man. He did, however, have one feature that set him apart from the norm: his Agustus family curse Bloodline. The Agustus family was known to be cursed by the Goddess of Love, Ishtar, for a crime his ancestor had committed.

"You were given love, but you betrayed it, and now that I've decided to take it back, you curse at me in such a way sixth Agustus... heheh... fine... you want love, I'll give it to you." No, in fact, I will shower you and your entire family with so much love that it will be the very thing that kills you."

As a result, Ishtar cursed the Agustus family with the curse of obsession. The curse is simple: any male of the Agustus bloodline will be loved to death by his lovers. In summary, Neir is a Yandere magnet; as a result, Nier does his hardest to keep his distance from the other sex out of fear for his life. He didn't want to end up like his older brother, father, uncle, grandfather, and cousins, all of whom had died within the previous two years, making him the last true Agustus.

As if it wasn't horrible enough, the world and his everyday life were now in danger. And it all began on that fateful day when the world's voice appeared.

[Attention all Gaian subjects: the day of judgment is here. As a result, the world will end in three days, the dead will rise, monsters locked in the neither will flood the mortal realm, and the Zenomen, an alien civilization, will conquer the entire known universe.
