Unwanted Undead Adventurer

Axel: leaning back casually “So, Elsa, what do you think? We’ve been at this for, what, a week? Think it’s time to bump us up to D rank?” Matias: smirking “Yeah, I mean, clearly we’re out of our league at this E rank business. We’ve mastered the art of ‘not dying,’ don’t you think?” Elsa: looking up from her paperwork with an unimpressed stare “You’re serious?” Axel: grinning “Deadly serious. We’ve fought off monsters, bandits, and the occasional emotional crisis. If that’s not D rank material, I don’t know what is.” Matias: nods, feigning sincerity “Not to mention, we’ve got the looks, the charm, and the natural ability to get into trouble. It’s practically a requirement for D rank.” Elsa: rolls her eyes “I’m pretty sure there’s more to it than that.” Axel: leaning forward “Come on, Elsa, you don’t want to hold us back. Let us take on the big leagues. You know how it is—why be a E rank when you could be a D?” Matias: crossing his arms “We’re basically too good for the job we’re in. Can’t keep letting all this talent go to waste.” Elsa: glaring at them “You two are ridiculous. You're asking for an upgrade based on nothing but your egos.” Axel: shrugs “Hey, ego’s part of the package deal. How else are we supposed to deal with all the ‘dangerous’ stuff you throw at us?” Matias: chuckling “Exactly. We're practically begging for more challenging assignments. You wouldn’t want to hold us back from greatness, would you?” Elsa: sighing, resigned “Fine. I’ll take your ‘request’ under consideration... though I’m not promising anything.” Axel: smirking “Oh, I think we’ve earned it. D rank here we come.” Matias: grins “You know, I’m starting to feel like we deserve an S rank for our sheer modesty.” Elsa: "Oh god, what did I do to deserve dealing with idiots".

Six Concubines, One Emperor. One he hates the most. But why? When Princess Aurora Evanov of Rovamer is married off to Emperor Tesarius Izekail of Lanterbur, she is met with hostility from all sides. Being the last concubine among the six, she is often bullied for her naive and sensitive nature and disregarded for being a foreigner. If Aurora thought she's find some solace in their shared husband, she is awfully proven wrong. Tesarius harbors an uncertain hatred towards to foreign princess, so much, that he makes a mockery of Aurora's presence in the palace, by making her the one and only Consort wearing a mask. Aurora, being the naive girl that she is, continues to follow Tesarius's unjust orders in order to achieve his love. Hoping that someday he'll see her worth. But all that flies out of the window when the Harem is attacked. But no one comes to save Aurora. Not even her beloved Emperor. Realizing that she had been blinded by one sided love and was never going to win this battle, Aurora tosses her love for the Emperor aside, and decides to make her own place in Palace. But how will she do that? When she is surrounded by Hyena's from all sides? Will Aurora's naive nature succeed? Or will she wither away in the middle of Royal politics? Or, Will Tesarius eventually regret his actions, and realize his long lost love for her? If so, Will Aurora ever accept him back?

From there it’s a just a SPIRAL of boneshit left and right! I can’t catch a break! What’s with this atrocious luck, bro?! A voice speaks to me about how I have qualified for something about a something that’s supposedly something’s something! Then I find myself in a new world that reeks of life and gives my bones a disgusted rattle. Powerful beasts and men are at every turn, all lining up to be a huge pain in my PELVIS! GAAAAH! Jeez this is happening too fast! However, even while I’m in the thick of this, the one saving grace is that I got something worth while! A new path of power! I can NOT be an undead! I can be something better than both the Living and the Dead! Immune to the antics from both sides. Well... most of them! I’m no longer on the path for Undeath! Only Lifelessness awaits me! I’m the one who transcends reality in this tale! I am... SKULLIUS! And I’m not an UNDEAD! ......

Samantha never expected to find magic in her hometown, let alone in a dimly lit bar on a rainy Tuesday night. Yet here she was, perched on a barstool at the Black Swan, her world about to tilt on its axis. The air thrummed with an otherworldly energy she couldn't quite place. Ethereal dancers moved like smoke across the floor, their bodies fluid and mesmerizing. As Samantha nursed her drink, she felt the weight of curious stares prickling her skin. That's when she saw him. Marcus. A name she didn't know yet, but one that would soon be etched into her very soul. Their eyes locked across the crowded room, and Samantha's breath caught in her throat. He moved with predatory grace, all lean muscle and barely restrained power. Their first interaction was as intoxicating as it was bewildering. One moment, he was her gallant protector, rescuing her from an overly aggressive drunk. The next, his eyes hardened to chips of ice as he snarled, "Stupid girl," before melting into the shadows. Samantha's mind reeled, but her body hummed with an excitement she couldn't explain. Little did she know, this encounter was merely the first step into a world beyond her wildest fantasies – a realm where vampires ruled the night and pain blurred exquisitely with pleasure.

The crack of a whip, the whisper of leather, the exquisite sting of fangs – each sensation pushed her boundaries and ignited desires she never knew existed.

Vampire politics were as deadly as they were intricate, and Samantha soon realized she was a pawn in a game where the stakes were life, death, and eternal servitude. As she left the Black Swan that night, Samantha couldn't shake the feeling that she stood on the precipice of something life-changing. She had no idea how right she was, or how deeply she would fall into a passionate, dangerous dance with forces beyond her imagination. The real question was: in this world where pleasure and peril intertwined so intimately, would she emerge empowered... or lose herself completely?

What should you do if you suddenly find yourself in the body of a female character inside a Korean MMO? For Yura, a nerd from the music faculty, it’s a chance to forget about exams, but for Gennady Alexeevich, a retired military man with a family, it’s a complete disaster. In the world of the game "Hell Grind," they face absurd quests, magical skills, battles, and the Tree of Wisdom, which offers questionable advice. Or maybe they don’t—because the adventures are highly dubious! Struggling to survive, find a way home, and keep their sanity turns into a ridiculous yet gripping adventure. A parody isekai with elements of LitRPG and a pinch of humor, where the gamer’s life collides with a fantasy reality in a comically absurd but thrilling clash. A lighthearted storyline, not weighed down by an abundance of numbers or intricate schemes. This book is an experiment, a translation of my novel for a Russian-speaking audience. I'm curious to see how well the humor resonates with Western readers. Let me know what you think about the story.

Rane was the cherished young miss of the William family, but as fate would have it, their affection deeply favoured her adopted sister. The reason was simple, as children Genna and Rane were switched at birth. Rane had lived in the slums while Genna was raised by the Williams family. By the time the Williams family found her their ties with Genna had already become too tight. They couldn't accept her. Haunted by a tumultuous past that saw her wandering the unforgiving streets, Rane had developed a quiet, fragile demeanour that resembled the calm before a storm. The scars of her past etched into her soul made her reluctant to defend herself, even when Genna—sometimes out of jealousy—slandered her unfairly. Rane often faded into the background, a silent observer in her own life, but this only stoked the fires of resentment among her siblings, who labelled her as spineless and malicious. The relentless bullying and merciless ridicule she faced took their toll, leading her down a dark spiral into depression. Friends, teachers, and family dismissed her pain, assuming she was merely feigning weakness, leaving her to suffer in silence. Instead of receiving the support she needed, Rane found herself trapped in a vicious cycle of mistreatment that deepened her despair. Only her godmother, Jenna, seemed to grasp the extent of Rane’s anguish. By the time Jenna intervened, attempting to rescue her from the suffocating grasp of her adoptive family, Rane had become a mere shadow of her former self. The vibrant spark of life within her had dimmed, extinguished by the burdens she carried. Her will to fight, to change her circumstances, slowly ebbed away, mirroring her physical decline. Ultimately, she succumbed to the weight of her suffering, leaving this world with one solitary wish: she wanted to be strong so strong that no one would be able to take advantage of her.
