Nagasaki prefecture, in Japan, is a magical kingdom. While the wizards that live there are unable to cross the ocean, and are trapped in Kyushu, they still pose enough of a threat that Americans dropped the bomb on them during WWII. The residents are worried that this will happen again, especially if the regular humans decide magicians are a threat. Daughter of the most powerful wizard alive, Risuka Mizukura is ten years old, and living outside Nagasaki, searching for her father and killing evil wizards. Her blood contains spells that control time, and allow her to fast-forward her own life. Her ultimate technique kicks in only when she dies bloodily -- her blood will reform into herself at 27, at the height of her powers, for one minute. Her guide through the world of normal humans is Kugi Kizutaka, also aged ten. Kizutaka is a genius, and a sociopath. He believes the only way for people to be happy is to be ruled by him and views everyone he meets as a potential pawn, or slave. Including Risuka. (Source: easternstandard.pbworks.com)

My father, who passed away leaving behind only a key, was a web novelist specializing in munchkin stories. Ten years later, the virtual reality game ‘The Another World,’ based on one of his works, became a platform of opportunity from basic livelihood to striking it rich and achieved unprecedented success. Kim U-Ju, the author's child, lived a grueling life without any special advantages. He accidentally discovered that a key-shaped merchandise item from his father's estate was being traded at a high price. Immediately, he used the key to open a limited edition book in his father's study and received a special gift within the game. U-Ju accepted the gift, and afterward, the Great Demon King Lucia, a character from his father's web novel, appeared. The Demon King Lucia granted U-Ju powers, but the overwhelming strength left him in an awkward position, unable to even complete simple daily quests. After much deliberation, U-Ju brought in another work, Killer Zero, to eliminate the source of the power, the Demon King. However, Jason, a limited edition power user from ‘The Other World’ who sensed something amiss, burst in, leading to a confrontation. Can U-Ju, armed with the strongest web novel characters, truly stand against the mightiest in the game? (Source: KakaoPage, translated)
