With some quick wits and a bit of luck, Avery managed to escape the worst, but he ended up missing out on collecting the valuable salvage he had his sights on.

Memories surged like a tide into her head after she was reincarnated, and she found out who she was... A complete pushover. Her name was Beiting Huang, a direct descendant and third-generation descendant of the Beiting Dynasty. Her fearsome reputation stretched across all nations on the continent. She was a girl, but she was disguised as a boy for some reason. Everyone was also after her wrist... to hack it off and take the bracelet she wore, which was actually a high-level spiritual item that concealed her gender. Everyone included her own brothers. Her brothers were fighting and killing each other, tearing the dynasty apart in the process... and she happened to be caught in the crossfire. Mercy? Did the old Beiting Huang not beg before she died? Did they spare her when she did? An emotion that was not hers stirred within her body, and Beiting Huang knew it was the old Beiting Huang's grief. In her mind, she assured her: Don't worry. Since I've reincarnated in your body, I shall avenge you. Your death will not be senseless! After those words, the old Beiting Huang's emotions faded. Now, there was only one Beiting Huang. She was the underworld's king, a mercenary lord who slaughtered and plundered with the world at her feet. Reincarnated into the fearsome Beiting family as its 'useless’ ninth son, the world's riches were once again in her grasp. She cultivated impossible abilities, contracted with magical beasts, and possessed a mystical dimension. She also trampled over gods and demons as and when she liked. Cold and handsome, her very presence was proud and magnificent, causing the world to fight for her affection.

When Hikaru Kageyama and his entire high school class are summoned to another world, it’s supposed to be the start of a grand adventure. The kingdom promises them power, glory, and the chance to become legendary heroes. There’s just one problem—the ranking system is rigged. The strongest students are given Gold ranks, trained as the kingdom’s elite warriors. The second-best receive Silver ranks, still valuable, still useful. But Hikaru? He’s slapped with a Bronze rank and thrown aside, along with the other “weak” students. While the Gold and Silver heroes are trained by knights and scholars, Hikaru is sent to the Adventurer’s Guild, a place where misfits, mercenaries, and troublemakers gather. But instead of despairing, he embraces the chaos. Because Hikaru doesn’t fight with brute strength. He fights with trickery, sleight of hand, and deception. Armed with the Deck of Deception, an ability that allows him to manipulate reality like a magician’s trick, Hikaru starts bending the rules of this world. He joins forces with the Five Strongest Adventurers, a legendary group not bound by the kingdom’s authority. Along the way, he meets Budi, an Indonesian exchange student with a mask-based power, who may be his greatest rival… or his closest ally. As Hikaru pulls cons, scams nobles, and tricks his way through dungeons, he begins to uncover a deeper truth: The heroes weren’t summoned to save this world—they were summoned for something far worse. The kingdom is hiding secrets. The Demon Lord might not be the true enemy. And the gods of Earth’s mythology are involved in ways no one understands. If Hikaru wants to survive, he won’t just have to fight. He’ll have to outplay fate itself.

Zein was a rogue Guide living in the god-forsaken land of the red-zone, guiding for money and survival. Until the guild he used to work with caused a tragedy. Driven by sorrow and guilt, Zein became a mercenary guide in the land bordering the forbidden Deathzone, working like a suicidal monk. One day, an overbearing Esper suddenly appeared and told him, “If you’re so hellbent to die, why don’t you come with me to the Deathzone?” A strange proposition, a nostalgic smirk. Had Zein actually met him before? Following the man into the deadly zone, will Zein find the respite he seeks, or will he get engulfed in a storm? But there’s no such thing as love in the deathzone...is it? * * * The story is set in a sentinel-verse, so there will be: - Sentinel (Esper) and Guide - Dungeon! - Romance - Action - …smut? ;) It’s a (kinda) love story wrapped in dungeon system shenanigans, with abilities and action and whatnot

In a world where the gods of legend have become actual fact, a few misnomers from another planet seek to simply live their lives in peace. If you could choose one word from the dictionary, one that simply defines you to the core of your soul, what would you say your definition is?

I thought being laid off from my job was the greatest of my worries but I just had to wake up in a ship's cockpit after my space game crashed. Now I have no map, no friends and no money. But that's ok, I've started from the bottom before! With my starter ship I will scour through space as a Mercenary and maybe even start up a Mercenary Company while I'm at it! This ain't my first rodeo in space after all! Except... Apparently my crew members are weird? The guy who bumped into me yesterday was found sliced up and floating outside the space station. The girl who tried to honeytrap me was reported missing with only a finger found in an alley. And then that merchant who scammed me had his entire ship blasted into bits by unknown vessels the very next day. Some people say my crewmates were behind it but they must be mistaken, right? I only know one thing for sure... In space, no one can hear you scream... *** Notes: Any R-rated scenes will be denoted by a '*' followed by an 'R' with the number of 'R's showing how much of it is R-rated.

Auriel spent his entire life playing by the rules. He worked hard, helped others, and believed in the power of the law. The world repaid him with betrayal, exploitation, and, ultimately, with a pitiful death. But fate had other plans. Just as one life ended, another began. He was reborn in a foreign world as a young mercenary, waking up surrounded by corpses, lost in a land where power is taken, not given. Determined never to be used again, he discards his past righteousness and embraces a new path—one where survival means making tough choices. He knows that to have a fulfilling life this time around, he can't only hope that doing the right thing will be a reward in itself. He knows that he is no hero. And that heroes don't get paid... So, he is done being a pawn. If the world wants to take advantage of him again, he’ll take up the gloves and deal with it—on his own terms. The deeper he sinks in this new world, the more he questions himself, though. Is he genuinely breaking free by not following the rules anymore… or is he just becoming another cog in someone else’s machine?

It is here that Troy Walker was born a devoted Catholic and one who cherished life to the full --until a tragic accident brought his days to a premature end. Instead of final judgement, he wakes up in a new and different world, his soul transmigrated to that of a mercenary knight in life. Not exactly what one would call paradise in any sense of the imagination. Not until an era of uncertainty was ushered in with the ascension of "The One," a divine being. In such absence, something malign got somehow initiated: at a point in history, idols ceased to be simple tokens of belief and quite literally became devils in their own right, corrupting the land and enslaving it. Kingdoms fell into ruin, holy orders fought each other in war-hammered, faith-stretched antagonism, with mankind's souls becoming a battlefield for those powers against whose dark dominion there seemed no hope of victory. Lucian exists as a wandering knight-alone and unbounded by service or order-walking a path where steel and prayers said in near-forgotten Old Tongues, deal out justice equally. With memories of a past life, he seeks answers to the mystery behind The One's ascension and the demonic plague which followed. It will be on each battlefield that he continues his search which may lead to questioning everything he once felt was right. A tide that will fill the void, a knight alone in a war between faith and darkness; will he be able to oppose the current? Or is he simply one more pawn in a divine game far above his understanding?

Fueled by vengeance, he becomes a mercenary, honing his skills in a brutal world where loyalty is fleeting and power is everything.

Perla had always felt a longing for adventure, stifled by the rules of her strict upbringing and surrounded by her older brothers free to do as they wanted. She longed to carve her own path, to seek out excitement and perhaps even a little romance along the way. One day, while escaping yet another tedious piano class, she stumbled into the hollow of a massive tree. At its base, a mesmerizing green light beckoned her, and before she knew it, she was transported to a bizarre forest teeming with colossal, long-extinct creatures and menacing carnivorous plants. This was the realm of Beastkin, where men could transform into mighty beasts. Here, the constant threat of war had led to a peculiar imbalance, with most females giving birth to male Beastkin, resulting in a dire shortage of women. The land was a battleground, filled with mercenaries and adventurers seeking glory. While the males formed companies to embark on quests, their females stayed behind, living a life of comfort. But not Perla—she was determined to break free from the mold, to grow stronger, and to join her new love interests on exhilarating escapades.

ExoGenesis follows the journey of Kaelen Voss, a renegade scientist whose obsession with quantum reality leads him to the discovery of the Multiversal Construct—an artifact capable of fracturing the fabric of reality and bending time itself. As he unlocks the potential of this enigmatic relic, he inadvertently triggers a series of events that threaten not only his own world but the very nature of the multiverse. In a galaxy where interstellar empires—The Coreward Dominion, the Astral Hegemony, and the Celestial Concord—vie for dominance, Kaelen’s discovery draws the attention of powerful factions, each eager to harness the power of the Multiversal Construct for their own agendas. But the relic’s true nature is far more complex than anyone realizes, and its influence stretches far beyond mere political power. As Kaelen unravels the mysteries of the Construct, he encounters new and dangerous entities, including the Zenith Pact, an ancient order whose existence was thought to be a myth, and The Merge, a being beyond comprehension, whose dark motives threaten the balance of existence itself. Alongside Kaelen is a ragtag crew of explorers, mercenaries, and rogue scholars who are drawn into the battle for control of the multiverse. With each passing moment, the stakes rise—dimensions collide, timelines fracture, and Kaelen’s very existence is called into question. As he journeys deeper into the fabric of the cosmos, he must grapple with profound metaphysical questions: What does it mean to exist across multiple realities? How far will he go to unravel the truth, and what is the cost of knowledge?

In a world where magic is as dangerous as the men who wield it, Havyn, a human-born shape-shifting druid, and Selene, a dark elf warlock bound by blood and shadow, claw their way through the ruins of their shattered childhoods. Both survivors of cruelty and loss, they are thrown together by fate and the unrelenting hunt of slavers, mercenaries, and darker forces lurking in the wilds. Once innocent children, now something else entirely, they navigate a brutal world where power is earned in blood. Havyn, marked by an ancient connection to the Wild, struggles to control the primal force awakening inside him. Selene, a girl born into chains, carries secrets of her own—a magic both feared and hunted, whispering promises of vengeance.

In the neon-drenched dystopia of Neo-Babylon, a war rages between warring factions, but Kai Stroud, a rogue operator, has no allegiance—just a mission to survive. When a routine job goes south, Kai stumbles upon a secret tied to his missing family: encrypted data locked inside his own brain—a digital blueprint for something powerful enough to shift the balance of the entire war. Now, every faction wants a piece of him. Hunted by corporate enforcers, anarchist hackers, cyber-cultists, and mercenary warlords, Kai is forced into a deadly game of survival. Along the way, he forms uneasy alliances with six formidable women, each with their own reasons for chasing him down: Selene Voss, the cold and ruthless Corporate Enforcer sent to capture him, who begins to question her orders. Rox Callahan, the Rebel Hacker who sees him as a rival and ally in equal measure. Nyx-7, the enigmatic AI Worshipper drawn to the secrets within his mind. Valeria Kane, the fearless Cyberpunk Gangster who respects power—and Kai’s unpredictability intrigues her. Mira Sorelli, the Idealistic Officer torn between duty and what’s right. Raven Locke, the Drifter Mercenary who prefers watching from the sidelines—until Kai forces her to care. As Kai and his growing crew unravel the truth, they uncover a hidden organization manipulating the war from the shadows—a faction that believes humanity is obsolete and seeks to replace it with a new cybernetic species. At the heart of it all? A rogue AI with a god complex, an army of machine-controlled soldiers, and a plan to erase organic life entirely. With Neo-Babylon on the brink of destruction, Kai and his team must fight, outsmart, and outlast their enemies to bring down the true puppet masters. But the closer they get to victory, the more Kai’s past, his family’s fate, and the truth about his own existence come into question. And with his six rivals-turned-allies all falling for him in their own ways, his personal life is just as explosive as the war itself. In the end, Kai must make the ultimate choice: Save the world—or disappear into the shadows. Destroy the enemy—or become something new. Choose a side—or carve his own path. Because in Neo-Babylon, loyalty is a lie, survival is war, and love is the deadliest battlefield of all.
