Tales of the Six-Faced World (六面世界の物語 Roku-men Sekai no Monogatari) is a collection of five web-based novel series authored by Rifujin na Magonote, hosted on the website Shosetsuka ni Naro (abbreviated as Naro in this article). It takes place in the fictional world known as the Six-Faced World. Mushoku Tensei: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu, the first story, serves as the base for the other four.

Mushoku Tensei
"A 34-years-old virgin NEET with no work experience was kicked out of the house one day. While condemning himself, his life ends when he gets hit by a truck. When he woke up, he finds himself inside an infant's body; he had been reincarnated into another world. This time, he vows he will get serious and live a new life he will not regret."

Mushoku Tensei: I'll Seriously Try If I Go to Another World (無職転生 - 異世界行ったら本気だす- Mushoku Tensei - Isekai ittara Honki Dasu) is the main story that follows an autobiographical narrative of the protagonist Rudeus Greyrat who had been reincarnated into a new world and vowed to himself he'll be serious with life this time.

The series started with the Prologue released on November 22, 2012. The story has been divided into a serial of Parts (otherwise, called Volumes in translations) by the author, with each part exploring Rudeus, in his different stages of life as he grows up. During its run the story has made several impressions by topping the cumulative popularity ranking charts on Syosetsu at one point and has stayed in the top 10 ever since. The series came to a conclusion after compiling 23 volumes and running for a total of 286 individual chapters, on April 3, 2015.

Subjugation of the Great Dragon King
"The roots of the 48 Magic Swords scattered around the world and the legends of heroes who have been laughed at for years are closely linked. This is the story of four groups of dragon slayers, their plots, ambitions and schemes, and one boy's involvement in them."

Subjugation of the Great Dragon King: Preface to the Final Chapter (王竜王討伐 - 最終章にして序章 - Ō Ryūō Tōbatsu - Sai Shūshō ni Shite Joshō) is story that takes place 300 years prior to the main story of Mushoku Tensei, offering insight on the slaying of the Great Dragon King from different perspectives.
