The Reincarnated Mercenary's Only Skill is Item Box

"No one ever helped me no matter how much I suffered. So, tell me...why would I help others if there's no benefit to it for me?" After being sold off by his parents to human traffickers due to a physical deformity and ending up as a resident of the underworld, a jaded mercenary is killed during a mission gone wrong. "If only there was a way to carry my entire arsenal of weapons without weighing myself down..." As he dies, he suddenly find himself waking up in a younger, unfamiliar body, in an unfamiliar world. He finds himself in a rundown orphanage located in a medieval world full of Magic and Monsters, his new body weak and frail. His new name is Jaedfern Meraled, or Jade for short. But he's not alone in being sent to this world...along with him for the ride is the Angel Arkiela, who was banished to this world for interfering with the human world out of boredom. Specifically, she used her powers to feed and amplify people's impulses and intrusive thoughts, including the people around Jade, whom she targeted to, in her words, "mess with", and subsequently went on to ruin his life. She then claims that their lives are now intertwined...if one of them dies, so will the other. While being uncertain as to whether she's being honest about that or lying so that he can't afford to kill her, Jade can't exactly risk putting it to the test, so he errs on the side of caution. Grudgingly, he decides to accept her presence around him, having no other choice in the matter. With that settled, she reveals that when people are reincarnated with their memories intact, they're given OP powers, usually as a reward or consolation for their circumstances in their previous life, and she then checks what abilities he's been bestowed with. In this world, there are three main elements to a person's Magic...their Magic Class; which is the core of their abilities, their Mana Pool; the quantity of Magical energy they possess, and finally, their Skills; special abilities that include active powers such as Appraisal and passive powers such as Heat Resistance. Each person possesses three Skills, without exception. As for Jade, his Magic Class is...well, he doesn't have one. And his Mana Pool...is nonexistent, he possesses no Magical energy whatsoever. And finally, his Skills...he only has one, titled "Mercenary's Item Box", a dimensional storage power with a number of abilities that can be unlocked by Leveling Up the Skill. Most people who are reincarnated are given OP powers, rewarded for either living a virtuous life, or as consolation for living a tortured life. But sometimes, people who've lived sinful lives, can be punished instead, bestowed with the bare minimum of abilities in worlds where such abilities are everything. And Jade is the latter. However, Jade may not necessarily be as bad off as it initially seems...because within his Item Box, is every weapon he owned during his previous life, weapons that don't exist in this world. Will it give him enough of an advantage to survive, and ideally thrive, in this medieval world rampant with violent crime and dangerous Monsters? One thing's for sure, it certainly won't be easy...

Paragon of Infinity

In a future where Earth has reached the peak of its technological prowess—9 billion years old, a utopia of yocto-technology, quantum mastery, and cosmic augmentation—humanity has transcended limits once thought impossible. Yet, even with all their advancements, they stand powerless against the inevitable—the collision of the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies, a cosmic catastrophe sealing the fate of Earth and all who call it home. But Haki is not one to accept fate. A man driven by purpose, ambition, and an insatiable thirst for knowledge, he dedicated centuries to self-mastery, fusing mind and machine, body and cosmos. Yet, when destruction came, he was not granted death, but something far worse—an eternity in the 18 Levels of Hell. Trapped in a realm beyond time, where souls are cleansed without mercy, Haki endured untold torment for an infinite millions of years. His agony became his teacher. His suffering, his forge. And from the abyss, something awakened—a fusion of AI and soul, science and spirit, technology and cultivation. Now reborn in a world ruled by Qi, formations, and divine laws, Haki is no mere cultivator. He is the final vessel of Gray, the force that stands between existence and nonexistence, chaos and order. Armed with the forbidden knowledge of a civilization that once defied the universe itself, he walks a path, known or unknown, definitely dreaded—the path of INFINITY. When light and darkness collide, when "gods" and "demons" wage war, only one truth remains: Infinity knows no limits.

Memoirs of an Indignant Error

Kang Jaeyoung had been close friends with Yeon Jeonghoo since their first year of middle school. With their parents mostly out of the picture, they naturally relied on each other throughout their struggles. But after being told that his soul was inadvertently placed in the wrong world, Jaeyoung is suddenly punished with nightmares. At first, they weren’t so bad, but they got increasingly disturbing over time. Eventually, they were so unbearable that he was afraid to fall asleep. It was then that he discovered that when he slept while being in some sort of physical contact with Jeonghoo, he drowsed restfully and dreamlessly. At that realization, Jaeyoung embarrassedly asked Jeonghoo to sleep beside him at night. But as their feelings grow even deeper than their initial depth, their “unrequited” loves become intertwined, breaking through the barrier and extending beyond. Light begins to peek through the cracks, undeniably bound to shed its beams upon hidden devotions once that wall inevitably collapses. Deeply devoted and clingy top (Yeon Jeonghoo) x Completely smitten and caring bottom (Kang Jaeyoung) *This. Is. An. Omegaverse! I repeat! OMEGAVERSE!!! *Friends to lovers *There will be smut *This is a light read. Do not expect incredible plot twists or excellent wording. There will be a few original aspects and I’m actively avoiding cliches, especially some VERY overused ones, but I can’t guarantee that they will be nonexistent.

Under the Demon's Onyx Shadow: Why Are Demon Lords Obsessed With Me?

Update: Mon, Wed, and Fri [Very Mature and Explicit Content] Amongst the battlefield of death and destruction, a lone warrior, her body ravaged by bone charring burns. Spirits of the recently dead drifted aimlessly, and hungry Burburus devoured both souls and body, sparing only the living and strong-willed. Yet, she found herself fixated on the Demon Lord, Ose, and the fact she is convinced he is in love with her. ... A vile smell rose from the brimstone red of blood and entrails that spilled from allies, foes, and those that were supposed to be protected. Hundreds of bodies blanketed the landscape of debris that was once a great city, wails and cries of the dying were heard over the strong winds, their hands wet as they tried to hold their own life in their wounds. If only she had more training to assist with their injuries, in the knighthood she was groomed for solely combat. The spirits of the recently dead roamed aimlessly, not yet aware they were dead and that they would meet true nonexistence if they were not to seek shelter from the real horror to come. A sense in Yin energy was coming from the vast distance, but she was distracted by the smell and sight of a battle that was truly ungodly; fitting for battles between there armies led by Demons. Above, she could see the sunlight having its own battle with thick clouds that were a profane-black with only a little light caressing her skin, deep as rich earth. The lack of sunlight only made her colder, and fortunately for her more impassive to her surroundings, or that could also be because of the fact that a large part of her body weren't charred until her bones were blackened. Her skin was covered in the soot of the nerves and flesh of her right arm, shoulder, and parts of her torso that were completely disintegrated. "Dammit, Ose," she thought bitterly, her frustration boiling within with each sharp breathe in her chest. "If it wasn't for your ridiculous obsession with me, I wouldn't be here--suffering in hell and then some." Ever since he first laid his eyes on her, she was convinced the Demon Lord had secretly fallen in love with her. The threaded sigil of his eyes that seemed to hold the magic of the aurora lights remained visible on the back of her uniform, though her body was barely there. In the name of her tormentor, the 'Great' Demon Lord Ose, she walked towards the edge of the battlefield.

His Naughty Lessons

[ Caution: High Heat Advisory ] “Harper, stop undressing me with your eyes. The plot isn’t going that way… YET.” Harper McKenzie, a newbie web novel author, has a problem — she struggles with romance scenes. As someone with almost nonexistent real-life experience in the matter, she can’t get the intimate chemistry right, and those chapters always come out dry and cringy. Fortunately for her, Harper finds a freelance editor willing to workshop her writing. But the surprise? That editor turns out to be her childhood friend and the very first crush of her life. What happens now when he offers her personal lessons on how to write the hottest romance … and love scenes? -------------- Note: this is a fun, cozy, sweet story with a low-drama plot. No love triangles, no misunderstandings, no memory loss / car accidents / terminal illnesses / etc.. Mature content abounds, starting out soft but heats up quickly. You’ve been warned! -------------- Sneak Peek: He slid her bra over her shoulders and, with impossibly quick and skilled work, tied the lacy garment around her wrists. “Spread your legs wider,” he ordered. Harper’s already faltering heartbeat faltered some more. The command in his tone was foreign, but it crashed over her like a heat wave, and even though she could barely begin to picture how salacious she must look, with her hands bound and thighs spread wide like an offering to be ravished, she could feel the scorching need coiling hotter and hotter in her core. Her body obeyed eagerly on its own accord, bringing herself fully open just like she was told. Eli grinned. Moving between her legs, he trailed hot kisses along her inner thigh, leaving sizzling little fires crackling in its wake. “Good girl. Now, what should your character say next?” A finger glided over her wet and wanting flesh in a slippery stroke, making her heart slam to a hard stop as a moan tore free. “Write the next line for me, what should I say before I unravel you with my tongue and make you scream my name?”

I Am Chaos Incarnate

In the infinite expanse of void and formlessness, there was only Chaos—an ever-shifting, boundless essence of potential, where time and space were nonexistent. From the heart of Chaos emerged the Primordial One, a being neither light nor dark but a balance of all forces, born from the first ripple of will within the void. This entity, known only as The Architect, brought order to the chaotic abyss, birthing the elements of creation: Light, Darkness, Fire, Water, Earth, and Air. With each breath of the Architect, universes unfolded, vast and teeming with stars and planets, each imbued with the essence of Chaos. The Architect forged the Pillars of Existence—Laws that governed reality itself, weaving harmony into the once-unbridled tempest. From Chaos sprang the first divine beings, the Primordial Titans, who embodied the elements and shaped the nascent cosmos. These Titans, though mighty, were flawed, and their desires ignited the first conflicts in the nascent universe. To maintain balance, the Architect split their essence, creating the Cosmic Pantheon, beings of wisdom and strength tasked with guiding creation. Yet, a fragment of pure Chaos remained uncontained, giving rise to a malevolent force known as The Void, seeking to unmake what had been formed. Aetheris Realm In the heart of Aetherium, within the opulent halls of the royal palace, a child was born to the ruling family. As the first cries echoed through the chamber, a strange thought emerged in the child's mind: "Where in the world am I?"

The Veil of Forgotten Gods

[Congratulations to the host for awakening the Forgotten Gods' Legacy.] [Host’s Initial Power: Unseen Affinity—A connection so faint, it borders on nonexistent, offering little to no advantage in the coming war.] “This can’t be right. What kind of system is this if I’m barely more than an ordinary human?” Frustrated and on the verge of abandoning hope, Leo is ready to quit. But as he delves deeper into the forgotten myths, the world around him begins to change. Shadows stir in the corners of reality, and voices from long-lost deities whisper in his ear, revealing a truth hidden from mortal eyes. Leo’s seemingly worthless power is the key to something far more profound. The Forgotten Gods' Legacy isn’t about raw strength; it’s about unraveling the mysteries of ancient gods who have faded into obscurity. Each challenge he faces brings him closer to unlocking the true power within—a power that could either resurrect these gods or consign them to oblivion forever. In a world teetering on the edge of destruction, where forgotten deities vie for dominance, Leo’s journey will force him to confront the gods themselves, facing the ultimate choice: will he reignite their power, or let them fade into the abyss? His decision will shape the fate of both gods and humans alike. **"The Veil of Forgotten Gods"** is an epic tale of hidden power, forgotten deities, and the delicate balance between mortal and divine. For Leo, the path to victory isn’t just about gaining strength—it’s about discovering the secrets buried in the deepest shadows. ---

Masks and Deceit

Caspian inched closer until his lips were mere inches away from Davina's, reeling her in to close the nonexistent gap between their mouths. "Have you ever been kissed, Dimitri?" He asked. Before Davina could lose control after Caspian's cold lips lightly grazed hers, she pushed him away and hurriedly stood up. "My Lord, this is highly unethical!" Her real voice nearly slipped out amid the chaos. "What's unethical about this?" Caspian's face lifted to form an innocent yet devilish smile, he seemed to be enjoying the reaction he got out of her. Flustered, Davina turned her back to him and took deep breaths before speaking more composedly. "We are both men and it wasn't ethical of you to try and... kiss me." The last bit came out as a whisper blown away by the wind. Caspian's chuckle echoed through the woods as he stood up from the bench and faced Davina with a smug look on his face. "Tell me, Dimitri, was I really trying to kiss a man just now?" "W-what do you mean?" Davina stumbled backward as she stared at Caspian in shock and disbelief, unsure of what to do to save herself from that situation. "Let me rephrase my question."
