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.

The universe is, by its very nature. vast, unpredictable, bountiful, and yet random to the point of being unfair. Simply being born in the wrong place at the wrong time can damn you for life.. and yet with that risk comes with it the possibility of reward. Those who persevere in such adversity can rise above their given lot in life. For while life is truly unfair it is also without limit to potential. I would remind those who disagree that most limits are in the mind and can be overcome with enough effort. For the rest of life's limitations, we have technology. - Excerpt from the popular lecture of Professor Vermillion Azamir Ternum was stuck early in life at a young age, his father contracted the Vrax plague while on leave of his deployment and his mother took over the family support in his father's declining health.

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?

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.

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.
