Talon stared at the fins slicing through the water beneath the edge of the ship. That morning, he never imagined that the honest Captain Calista Merrow would call him to her cabin in the middle of the night and propose selling the ship’s cargo to a group of mercenary pirates. They were soldiers of his nation, transporting nuclear warheads, and obviously Talon refused, thinking it was a joke. The two laughed, and now, in the morning, he had dozens of rifles aimed at his back as he walked the plank. The shadows of the massive sharks were visible on the surface of the water. He was being discarded, abandoned by his once trustworthy captain. In exchange for what? Money? Status? Power? Soon, a harpoon was used to shove him forward, and he began walking the plank. Talon turned to face the pirates who had already boarded the military ship and his captain. He was about to speak, to shout some curse, but all he saw was the barrel of her pistol and fire burning in his chest. His body gave out and fell toward the sharks’ open jaws. Until he saw a silver orb floating just above him and a metallic voice saying: [Initialization beginning in 3...2...1]

Encroached by the reality of death and haunted by his own fading life... Tunde, a small-time Lagos fraudster, is once again running— from debt, from danger, from himself. But this time, he's also running toward something: $10 million. A mother on the brink. A loan shark with a blade. A price on his head he can’t afford to pay. And then— into another world. A world bridled with war, magic, and monsters. Will he escape this time? Or will death finally catch him? May Einar’s notes reveal what is hidden.

She sees Rob as another older brother, a steady presence amidst the whirlwind of competition. Rylin's skill shines in barrel racing, and she dedicates herself to caring for the horses they travel with, ensuring their well-being is always a top priority. Life on the road is a dynamic balance of competition and companionship for her. Meanwhile, Jase Hunter, son of Max Hunter, is wrestling with a different kind of chaos. His last relationship ended abruptly when his girlfriend was caught cheating on him, a painful discovery made while he was preoccupied with yet another of life's "ordeals."

How do Rylin and Jase's paths eventually cross on the circuit, and what kind of initial interaction do they have given their very different current states of mind?

[Demonic Path Cultivation + Cold-Blooded + Ruthless + Eerie Immortal Path] [Male protagonist is a regular man, has women but no main female lead.] Xu Sanyan, born as a horse bandit, understands the harsh truth that human life is as insignificant as grass. Kill, or be killed. To survive, he cuts off his compassion, unleashing his darkest self. For a single cultivation technique, he slaughtered a city and wiped out villages. For a spell manual, he cut down those he once cherished. From the "Blood Demon Corpse Refining Technique" to the "Soul-Condensing Ghost Art," his cold blade drips with countless lives. In a world like this, he knows reliance on others is futile. Xu Sanyan’s only desire is to wield his blade and cultivate his inner strength to claim the celestial fruits beyond the Nine Heavens. Translator's Note: if you think this story might be similar to Korean "Demon Sect" stories then be warned because the themes explored in this novel maybe too graphic and inappropriate for certain audiences. Although I have seen reviews on my previous novel (RDC) stating that it wasn't as demonic as the synopsis made it out to be. But since I am bringing this to you, I feel this is my responsibility to put in this disclaimer. Still in the beginning phases of translation, so I don't know how true the synopsis is to the story. If you do find it to your tastes don't forget to leave a 5-star review. Read ahead on Pa.treon@CindelTL

Just before being summoned to another world, the protagonist’s summoning medium was secretly swapped by someone. As a result, he was not summoned as the "Holy King" but instead as the "Sex King." The magic he can use includes water magic in the form of lotion, fire magic as candle wax, and his summoned beasts include a wooden horse used for punishment… Branded as "vulgar," "useless," and "filthy," he is rejected, has his engagement annulled, and is ultimately exiled. However, the one who picks him up is a princess from a nation where the sex industry is legal. Using his modern knowledge, the protagonist begins rebuilding the nearly bankrupt sex kingdom. He introduces new fashion trends unknown to this medieval world and uses his authority as the Sex King to subjugate the girls. He then establishes modern sex service techniques. The protagonist's method of leveling up is through intimacy with his heroines (his concubine maids). The more intimate he gets, the stronger he becomes, and the wealthier the kingdom grows. However, the surrounding great powers will not stand idly by and allow a flourishing nation full of women. Thus, the flames of war are ignited. Utilizing his creativity, adaptability, and cunning, the protagonist repurposes his sex-related magic for military applications and overwhelms his enemies. As he gradually awakens to the path of conquest, he begins walking the road of a ruthless emperor. However, by his side is always a heroine, a celestial beauty who keeps his heart from straying too far…

Hazekaya Hazuki was just an ordinary guy… until he woke up in another world. Sounds exciting, right? WRONG!

Rhys needs Clementine's firm to complete a prestigious, city-defining project that will solidify his dominance.

Dr. Lila Reyes, a pioneering quantum physicist aboard New Carthage Station, never anticipates her prototype time‑rift device yanking Captain Edmund Hartley—a bold, swaggering pilot from 1822—into her sterile, high‑tech world. Linked by a shimmering temporal tether that pulses with every brush of skin, Lila's meticulously logical mind is thrown into disarray by Edmund's old‑world gallantry and devil‑may‑care charm.

But every shared memory frays the fabric of reality, risking a catastrophic convergence of two timelines. Compelled to collaborate across time, they pursue cryptic clues through mist‑cloaked 19th‑century ballrooms and neon‑bathed orbital docks, wrestling with an impossible choice: seal the rift and be forever torn apart, or let destiny unravel for a chance at love that defies all boundaries. With each daring kiss and whispered confession, Lila and Edmund discover that some bonds transcend space, time—and even death.

In a universe spiraling into chaos, where time collapses and dharma crumbles, the last hope of restoration lies in the Eleventh Avatar of Lord Vishnu — Kalki. After millennia of maintaining the balance of creation, even the gods find themselves powerless against a terrifying new threat: Bhrahmāndak, the corrupted, evil reflection of Brahma himself. Born from Brahma’s shadow — a being created when the Creator doubted his own divinity — Bhrahmāndak hijacks creation, fusing Yugas, manipulating destinies, and turning even the laws of karma into tools of oppression. As Dharma fades and the world twists into darkness, the sacred land of Sambhala, veiled from time, becomes the cradle of a miracle. On a night when the stars echo ancient alignments, a divine child is born — under the same nakshatra, rashi, and planetary conjunction as Rama and Krishna. He is Kalki, the Final Flame, the last descent of Vishnu meant to restore balance by ending the corrupted cycle. Gifted from birth with the Divine Sword Nistram, bound to his very soul, and paired with his immortal companion Shveta-Ashwa, the celestial white horse descended from Uchchaihshravas, Kalki is trained in secret by Parashurama, the timeless warrior-sage. But Kalki’s destiny is unlike any avatar before him. He must not only destroy Adharma, but reset time itself by restarting the Satya Yuga — the first and purest age. To do so, he must confront the false gods of power, battle ancient forces reborn in modern forms, and ultimately defeat Bhrahmāndak — a being who controls not just realms, but memory, fate, and time itself. Across 200 chapters of mystical lore, epic battles, divine alliances, tragic betrayals, and spiritual awakening, KALKI: The Final Avatar is the tale of a warrior who must end the world... so he can save it. Key Features of the Story: • Kalki’s Origin in Sambhala, hidden from mortal sight. • His bond with the soul-forged sword Nistram and the divine horse Shveta-Ashwa. • A new pantheon of twisted demi-gods under Bhrahmāndak’s rule. • The return of Parashurama, who becomes Kalki’s guru and commander. • Wars that span across earthly kingdoms, spiritual planes, and even the subconscious minds of corrupted sages. • Kalki’s internal struggle with his divine role — balancing destruction with compassion. • Final confrontation in the Ruins of Time, where the concept of past, present, and future must be remade. The End Goal: Kalki must slay Bhrahmāndak, restore Dharma, and restart the Yuga Cycle — not just to cleanse the world, but to rebirth it into Satya Yuga, the age of truth. But to do so, he must first unmake himself.

Can you believe everyone across the world can have the same dream? You don't? Well, you're not alone in that. But that's exactly what happened three years ago. At first, it was a vision from the future, "A Warning From the Gods". Some random guy on the internet coined it, and the only thing it did, was raise hell in the media. Of course, there was discord in opinions. Three years later, the vision came true. It started with the bloody rain in New York, followed by the invading alien monsters who fell from the sky like meteors. Everything mankind built so far on the pages of history, came falling down, one after another. Chaos closed in, but humanity wasn't going down without a fight. The survival instinct kicked in, and people grabbed everything they could find, knives, crowbars, guns, turning them into weapons. To fight monsters. Then it happened: **[The Trial of gods has begun]** **[Choose your class and enter your quest for survival]** **[Would you like to be awakened with the bestowed power of the ancient gods? Y/N]** But Not me. I was not among the 'Chosen humans'. I'm just an escaped prisoner, trying to live an ordinary life in a world turned upside down. My name is Kai and I'm trying to find my lost family. To that end, I'll do anything. Even killing gods. The stakes of survival are higher than ever. And the Real Fight is just getting underway.

I just wanted a quiet life. A little cottage in the countryside. Maybe an apple orchard. A lazy dog named Bento. That was the dream. What I got instead? – A medieval fantasy world – A collapsing barony – And a debt the size of a dragon’s ass. Every time I try to quit, something worse shows up—trade wars, sword-swinging lunatics, princesses with investment portfolios, and demon lords pitching franchise models like it’s Shark Tank. I wanted a nap. Instead I’m reverse-engineering the economy, manipulating supply chains, and inventing products that shouldn’t exist in this world. Magic? Boring. Swords? Overrated. But a mana-crystal monopoly? Now that’s real power. I’m not a hero. I’m not some chosen genius. I’m just a tired bastard trying to retire… Without dying broke. Or accidentally founding an empire.

Follow our young engineer Erik as he starts on his first job at the young age of 60 years old in future earth where humans will live hundreds of years, he will reach an unknown place with his spaceship by accident and to survive he will have no choice but to explore alien structures and hunt dangerous monsters to get stronger, making alliances with the locals in more than friendly terms sometimes. ------------------------------------------------------ The protagonist is a young 60 years old "young" engineer, he's easy-going and a good guy, he's been trained so he will know what he's doing most of the time, in "Chapter 1 - A New Beginning" he will explain more, as a human from the future where bodies are just flesh containers, he's fairly openminded (kinda like "Altered Carbon" from Netflix, but different, you can go one day to a genetic center, pay, and get inside a liquid tank and then, the next time you open your eyes your body has already changed, then you get your ticket and go home just like that, but combat modifications would be regulated). ------------------------------------------------------ Hi, NirvanaPenguin here, suggestions on the story are welcome, this is a book I'm gonna write for fun and to get better at writing in preparation for a story I will start next year. ------------------------------------------------------ Discord: https://discord.gg/WPM7a4Dp4J Reddit: www.reddit.com/user/NirvanaPenguin/ Twitter: @NirvanaPenguin Post a review if you liked the book to help me get exposure, thanks.

The book cover was drawn by myself(not the background though), I will try to make or pay someone to make a cooler one in the future though. ------- Spoiler?: Inspiration for the octopeople. - Asari from Mass Effect. - sea horses. - subnautica all beings reproduce that way.
