"Ciccio," she spoke, taking a purposeful step forward. "In the realm of business, there exists a strategy known as 'the hostile takeover.' It revolves around the idea of 'if you can't beat them, buy them.' Since you are dissatisfied with the way this hospital is managed and how the staff treat patients, rather than struggling to pay the bills amidst difficulty, why not consider acquiring the hospital itself?"

I was nothing, useless to everyone. No one loved me, no one truly wanted to be with me. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared before my eyes. I had forgotten basically everything about my old self. What have I truly lost? I was summoned to another world. This was my second chance.

One seeks the top, burning with the desire to see what is beyond. One who thought he had reached the pinnacle while he was only deceiving himself, living at the bottom. And finally, one has reached the top and saw only regrets as he looked back down. For what reason, for what purpose did they seek strength? Was it a dream? Was it a goal? Was it regret? Whatever the reason may be, only those who have steeled their minds and prepared for the worst can reach that pinnacle. And it is only those who have done so that can say whether it is worth it or not. Will it be the case for our protagonists? Let’s find out in this isekai story.

Anom, the infamous thief lord, is unexpectedly contacted for a new job: stealing a mysterious stone from a newly-appeared otherworldly island. Intrigued by the challenge, he accepts the proposal and ventures to the island, which has emerged mysteriously in the middle of the ocean. As researchers from around the world gather to unravel the secrets of the otherworldly island, Anom stealthily infiltrates its depths. However, his success is short-lived, as he finds himself trapped before he can make his escape. With limited options, he delves further into the heart of the island, where the true enigma awaits. This pivotal step alters Anom's destiny forever. He encounters a grumpy angel, is basically kidnapped to another world, and unexpectedly falls in love with a goddess. As his journey on Earth concludes, Anom realizes that a new, more exhilarating and mystical tale, awaits him, waiting to be written by his own hand.

He was running through the thick, dark forest surrounded by nothing, but danger and right now he was being hunted. Rushing along the path while holding on to a delicate armament, ain’t a joke but, when it’s something you risked it all for, it’s worth it. "Don’t let him get out of sight!” A shout echoed through, that nearly shuddered him. He was fast, but he had to take the lead, being caught by the soldiers meant nothing but trouble. After entering a denser region of the forest, he used one of his exclusive skills. ‘Stealth’, and he vanished. “What the hell? Where did he go! Find him!” He could see those soldiers conversing from a few branches above. Climbing that fast certainly helped him well. Now he had to wait for them to scatter away, which they did in just a while allowing him to escape. Entering a castle certainly proved to be a difficult task, but to him, it was just a daily routine. He walked right through the castle halls and entered a seemingly familiar room. “Alas! finally, there’s no one on my back!” He thought, letting out a sigh of relief he entered the room but was caught off-guard as he was pinned by a girl, young and beautiful but rather stronger than him. “Got you, Prince!”
