Robin Hobb Liveship Traders

In a galaxy ruled by warlords, guilds, and ancient tech cults, Kai Zareth is just another debt-ridden scavenger—until a legendary system descends upon him. "One Trader per 10,000 light years. One chance to rise." Selected by the Cosmic Trade Nexus, Kai becomes the sole wielder of the Galactic Exchange System, a multidimensional platform that allows him to buy and sell across parallel worlds, forgotten realms, and alien civilizations. With only 12 hours to complete his first trade—or lose everything—Kai scrambles to make deals in a universe where information is power and one wrong barter could cost your life. From selling enchanted goblin toothbrushes in toxic slums to outwitting rival system users and forging alliances with forgotten races, Kai must build his empire item by item, realm by realm. But in a galaxy where traders kill for profit and system users are hunted like prey, being the Merchant Sovereign might be a bigger curse than a blessing.

When sheltered Robin McDougal is snatched from a life of captivity and forced to marry the mysterious demon Andras Mulciber, he is torn between terror and desire. Since Andras Mulciber had no intention of settling down with anyone it was meant to be a marriage in name only—and only for one year. He never suspected that the meek hostage after being given a taste of freedom would become a free spirited mischievous imp. Not known to outsiders for his kindness, Andras feels an inkling of pity for Robin and honors the agreement he'd struck to keep the peace. That required Andras to marry the orphaned beauty and bring him back to his castle at Hell’s Island for safekeeping, shocking his loyal crew. It would turn the world upside down if his rivals that labeled Andras a crazed murderous demon behind his back got wind of the news he was getting soft. Rumors of foul play and black magic swirl as many believe the secretive Andras is either cursed or a cold blooded killer as his last bride did not live past their wedding night. Now country-bred Robin McDougal is about to become the Vulcan’s latest plaything. Drawn to his masculine strength and the hint of heated desire that gleamed in Andras' dark eyes, the tawny-haired Robin has his own reasons for flirting with danger. First was for family obligations; meant Robin would entangle Andras in a kidnapping plot, a fight for ownership, and a dangerous masquerade. The other reason was closer to his heart, a slight chance to thrive where those before him had failed: Robin McDougal intended to teach the demon how to love.

THAT IS NOT WHAT I WAS BORN FOR!!" Robin didn't want to compete with young masters, so he made an army and started invading planets.

En un mundo fracturado por la guerra, la magia y las cicatrices de un antiguo sacrificio, un joven boxeador llamado James es arrancado de su realidad y arrojado a un universo donde la oscuridad vuelve a emerger tras siglos de aparente paz. Marcado por un pasado doloroso y guiado por la promesa de un nuevo destino, James descubrirá que su fuerza no solo está en sus puños, sino en su espíritu. Con los guantes heredados del Caballero de la Luz, que pueden adaptarse a los elementos de los legendarios Caballeros Sagrados, James se convierte en la última esperanza de dos mundos condenados al caos. A su lado, guerreros como Sir Ronald, el caballero del rayo; Robin, el arquero leal; Aria, la maga de hielo; y otros héroes caídos y renacidos, lucharán no solo contra enemigos externos, sino contra sus propios miedos y traumas internos. Mientras el mal resurge encarnado en Black, un hombre consumido por la oscuridad y su sed de redención, y Kazuma, un asesino conectado al pasado familiar de James, se inicia una carrera contrarreloj donde la línea entre el héroe y el monstruo es más delgada que nunca. Puño del Renacer es una historia de batallas épicas, conexiones emocionales profundas y redención. Cada golpe no solo rompe huesos, también revela verdades ocultas. Cada lágrima, cada sacrificio, es un paso hacia la liberación o la condena. Este no es solo un viaje de fuerza física. Es una guerra por el alma.

After waking up in a world of magic, knighthood, and alchemy, Carlotta finds herself with an unexpected gift: an intelligence system that feeds her daily updates, secrets, rumors, and even hidden dangers unfolding around her. Yesterday’s intel was especially eventful. Mrs. Thea Ashfield, an eccentric alchemist, tossed away an old tool called the Rose Thorn late last night, left forgotten in a trash bin just south of the academy. Meanwhile, a new restaurant at No. 56 Fame Street is quickly becoming the talk of the town, fresh ingredients, great prices, and a steak that people are already calling legendary. Not all food fared as well though: most of the caramel bread in the academy cafeteria turned out to be leftovers from days ago. (Still edible, just… don’t expect miracles.) Teacher Estelle Marlowe pulled an all-nighter preparing the upcoming magic exam. Rumor has it the questions are no joke this time. Then came the serious alerts. One warned of a wanted criminal hiding in the Fame District, with a bounty of thirty thousand Orrae on their head. The other was more personal, Headmistress Viviana Richards’s lost dog was about to be shipped off by dog traders through the port. Thanks to Carlotta’s timely tip-off, the headmistress was able to rescue her beloved pet just in time. ###### Some Tags: Female Protagonist, Card Magic, System, Daily Intelligence, Genius Main Character, Focused Main Character, Academy, Intelligent Main Character #### There's no plans for romance for now.

Perna To Rachel & Derek, Thank you for everything! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When the last heir of Ardel lost everything, fate would bring her to her rightful protector. Anna Adhemar, the forgotten princess, found herself betrayed by the Regent. Hunted by the Bargesians and the ruthless slave traders, she desperately fled for her life. Rescued by a mysterious man, her newfound safety was short-lived as she succumbed to a potent aphrodisiac. Then, she awoke in the arms of the fearsome Knight Commander of Gerhard, stripped bare, in a foreign kingdom. Fear, confusion, and a sense of profound devastation enveloped her. But the man before her declared, "I am your husband. I married you last night." Then, with unwavering determination, he vowed, " You're my woman now. No one can hurt my woman." --- Kyren Raychard, the Crown Prince who had chosen to forsake the throne and become celibate, led the Knights of Gerhard to safeguard his kingdom’s border from slave trading activities. Outside his camp, he found Anna poisoned and delirious. The healer informed him of the only cure, of which he must race against time to give and honour her.

I like text-to-speech so I'm giving a shot at present tense second person writing to lean into a listener's POV. Enjoy! I use Sonia en-GB for the narrator at 1.2 or 1.5 times speed. Might want to read this part, I kind of left it out the story by making it the synopsis by accident lol. Tavern doors never close on the festive dockside. Traders, settlers, wanderers, and outlaws gather, drawn by the excitement of the New World. The air smells of smoke, salt and sweat, sails catch wind beside steam locomotives' whistles and pistons, each vessel either arriving with strange goods and stranger tales or departing with the thunderous farewells. You step aboard one of them, another spirited adventurer in the crowd, and spend months at sea from docks to coasts, continents to isles, to steam across a windless sea under an endless night sky. When sunlight hits your deck once more, it reveals the New World's waters, like pouring paint into the void. You see the distant sails in the harbour of a forested continent and cheer with the exclamations of waking passengers upon seeing the continent, name pending, no sovereigns and no laws. The landing of all those visiting from the Old World, a boiling pot of all kinds of cultures with each person's distinct flavours of friends, enemies, grudges and dreams. Without hesitation you leave it behind and vanish into the forest, wanting simply to dedicate your life to exploring the interior of the continent. How surprising is it when you found that the elves are all sleeping beauties! Capture them all! Hahahahahahahaha!

As a military woman, I’ve been trained to stay alert and think tactically, but nothing prepared me for the emotional and financial ambush I experienced online. It started innocently enough. While stationed overseas, I connected with someone on social media who claimed to be a successful crypto trader. He was charismatic, well-spoken, and incredibly supportive. Over the course of several months, he built my trust. He didn’t rush anything. We talked almost every day about life, service, family, and eventually, finances. He made me feel seen and understood, and I truly began to believe there could be a future with him. He slowly introduced me to his world of crypto investing. At first, I was skeptical. But he showed me a platform where he said he made consistent profits, even offering to help me get started. I watched my investment appear to grow rapidly on the site. It looked real. It felt real. Encouraged by what I saw and the bond I thought we had, I invested more and more until I’d put in a total of $250,000. It was everything I had saved. Then one day, he vanished. No calls. No messages. The platform stopped working. My heart sank. I knew I’d been scammed. I felt betrayed, embarrassed, and helpless. I might be tough in uniform, but behind the screen, I was just a woman who’d been deceived. That’s when I found FUNDS RETRIEVER ENGINEER. From the first call, they treated me with respect and urgency. Their team got to work immediately. They were able to trace the funds through 12 different crypto wallets, following a digital trail most would never find. Eventually, they tracked the money to a real exchange account, one that the scammer had linked to his identity. That mistake cost him.Thanks to FUNDS RETRIEVER ENGINEER expertise, $187,000 of my stolen funds were recovered before they could be laundered or hidden. They worked with international authorities and the exchange to freeze the assets in time. I’m still healing, but I’m no longer a silent victim. I’m speaking out because if it happened to me, a woman in the military, it could happen to anyone. Don’t stay silent. There’s help out there. FUNDS RETRIEVER ENGINEER gave me a second chance.

Leading her into grave danger that almost takes her life until she stumbles upon an ancient artifact that gifts her abilities beyond her god given class. Emboldening her pursuit for her own destiny and sending her spiraling towards great power. With all of the strife that comes along with it...

In a future where all pornography is banned and self-pleasure is a crime, one young man must master the ancient, forbidden martial art of Gooning to avenge his father… one stroke at a time. Ben Dover never asked for this life. He was just a kid trying to survive in a repressed society ruled by the iron grip of the Purity Act—a global initiative that erased all erotic media and punished pleasure with prison or death. But when his father, a secret archivist of lost smut, is murdered by the shadowy martial sect known as the High Goon Council, Ben discovers a hidden world beneath society’s squeaky-clean surface. A world of underground tape traders, cultivators of carnal energy, and monks who edge for enlightenment. With the help of his disgraced grandfather—a retired Gooner master—Ben begins training in the ancient art of shame-fueled martial arts, where power is built through discipline, edging, and denial. But during a high-risk meditative ritual, Ben unlocks the mythical Infinite Edging Technique, granting him the ability to hold back for eternity... and double his power with every moment of restraint. Now, with a roll of tissues in one hand and vengeance in his heart, Ben must rise through the ranks of the Gooner Cultivation World, face off against chastity zealots and lust-obsessed warlords, and uncover the secrets of his father’s death—before the final climax of war erupts across the world. This is not a parody. This is not a joke. This is Gooning. Taken seriously.

In the quiet rural village of Seongcheon, South Korea, lives a boy named Joon, whose world is filled with manhwa, anime, and novels. With no clear path ahead and no real prospects, Joon often dreams of a life filled with purpose, ambition, and adventure. He longs for the kind of power his fictional heroes possess — a System that could change everything. One evening, that wish is granted. A glowing, floating System Window appears before him — not inside a phone or computer, but in midair, responding only to him. It offers a life-altering opportunity: the ability to choose any profession and master it from scratch. With no one else aware or involved, Joon is the only system user in the world. He selects his first class: Trader — the art of buying and selling stocks, navigating markets, and building wealth from knowledge and strategy. Starting with ₩500,000 in capital and a beginner’s toolkit of stats like Market Insight and Negotiation, Joon takes his first step into a reality-bending journey of XP, quests, and mastery.

Every reward is earned. And every coin spent is tracked. But this is only the beginning. With the power to one day become anything — from a footballer to a scientist, a chef to a tycoon — Joon must use his wits, will, and wisdom to ascend, all while keeping his System a secret. This is a tale of dreams made real — one profession, one quest, one chapter at a time.
