Veteran Sharpshooter Darktide

In a world where the supernatural collides with the ordinary, dungeons—dangerous rifts to other realms—begin appearing across the city, threatening humanity. The Hunter Association, tasked with sealing these rifts, relies on Guides who are psychically linked to Hunters with extraordinary powers. A former soldier, becomes a newly awakened Guide at 27, struggling to adapt to his role. Paired with an S-ranked Hunter, a reckless veteran esper, he faces the daunting challenge of navigating deadly dungeons filled with nightmarish creatures. Their partnership is strained—A disciplined and methodical solider, and an esper who's impulsive and dismissive of rules. As dungeons appear more frequently, each mission tests their limits and teamwork. While the Guide adjusts to his new life and role, the esper wrestles with his haunted past and growing responsibilities. Together, they uncover a disturbing pattern behind the dungeon outbreaks, suggesting a larger, sinister plot at play. Amid the chaos, the guide grapples with losing his former life and his growing attachment to his esper, while the looming danger threatens to push them—and their fragile trust—apart. Every decision they make could determine the city's fate, or possibly the entire world. NOTE: This is a slow-burn light-romance BL. It means there are no mature or sexual themes, and it focuses on action, plot, character growth, and relationships between characters and their adversaries. Cover Art: V.R.

"Save the last bullet for me" is the last line of the oath of the United Nations Strategic Security Department (UNSSD)‘s Special Operations, a phrase too familiar to Sean, officially designated Artemis 9, one of the members of Squad Artemis, elite supersoldiers that form the tip of the spear of the UNSSD--- that is, until his mistake caused the death of his teammate and he retired from service.

In a world transformed by dungeons and mutations, most people have gained extraordinary powers or unique racial traits. But a boy name Hugo Icelandra is different—he's a powerless human, lacking both abilities and the advantages of mutated races. With no strength to speak of, he’s overshadowed by his talented family and mocked by peers for daring to dream of becoming a Hunter. That all changes when Hugo’s father gifts him the Megatrix, an advanced device capable of transforming him into superior versions of other species. Armed with this revolutionary technology, Hugo takes his first step into the Hunter High Academy, determined to prove his worth. However, the path to greatness is fraught with peril. Hugo must survive deadly trials, face his old bullies, and earn the respect of his peers—all while learning to master the Megatrix and discovering his own inner strength. Along the way, he encounters an unlikely group of allies, including a silver-haired sharpshooter, a fiery dark elf, and a gravity-wielding half-dragon. Together, they’ll uncover secrets that could reshape the very foundations of their world. In a world where power defines status, Hugo’s journey is a testament that ingenuity, resilience, and hard work can surpass even the greatest natural gifts. ---- This novel is loosely inspired by the concept of shape-shifting tech and super-powered transformations, kind of like if Ben-10 went to a dungeon, got a makeover, and swapped the Omnitrix for a wrist gadget with some extra flair. Totally not a copy, just a fun twist on the idea!

Imagine holding in your hand a coin capable of granting your deepest desire. Wealth, power, salvation—whatever you wished for could be yours. But with each gift, there’s a price, and the coin always collects its due. For centuries, these coins have slipped through history, moving from hand to hand, their existence whispered in myths and half-forgotten stories. Five coins, forged by ancient deities, meant to bring balance to the world, now corrupted by greed and chaos. Each coin holds immense power—enough to save a life, topple a kingdom, or reshape reality. But their power comes at a cost, and those who wield them are marked, bound to a cycle of violence and survival. Dax never wanted a coin. A young man with no destiny and no ambition, thrust into a world of ruthless seekers, monstrous creatures, and twisted wielders, Dax must learn the coin’s secrets to survive. Beside him stands Vern Leery, a weary veteran of the coin’s curse, who has seen what it takes—and what it costs—to wield its power. Together, they face the creatures drawn to the coin’s energy, the enigmatic Seekers hunting them, and the terrifying knowledge that the coins are not done with them yet. What would you wish for? And more importantly, what would you give to keep it?

Asic Quadro, a top-tier police officer whose very name made criminals tremble when they heard Agent 001 was on their trail, had to resign after clashing with his superiors while investigating his brother's murder. One day, he received news of his brother's secret will, which led to the awakening of a dormant power within him. Asic became an Ego-user, possessing what would become one of the most powerful abilities in history, supported by an advanced AI with limitless self-improvement system. He entered the Miner world in search of clues that would lead him to the murderer. Wealth, fame, power—things he had never cared about before—were now all things Asic vowed to seize. Fate brought him to meet a group of misfits. Our company has a bodybuilder who talks to his muscles, a psychotic sharpshooter who loves shooting people in the head, a bland guy who even the god of tracking can’t find, a hell-raising pyromaniac who sets the office on fire just for fun, a masochistic shareholder obsessed with role-playing, a camera-headed man who enjoys secretly filming others, and a clumsy robot who causes trouble no matter what it does. Best of all is the company president, the coolest, most conceited man in the world. Asic has no idea whether this company will thrive or go bankrupt, but one thing's for sure—the competition is starting to sweat. Two years later... "President Asic, could you share the secret of Spark Synergy's success as the most successful mining company of 2077?" "Ladies and gentlemen, I have no idea what you mean." Inside, Asic was screaming: his company wasn't a mining company—it was a psychiatric hospital. **I'll always update the work with at least 1-2 episodes per day.

[An Announcement from the Author: LLL will undergo major reformations! Expect a reboot of this confusing storyline sometime early January! Thank you for all of your support thus far.] Gods rule over the fundamental creations of life. Lords watch and rule over these Gods’ creations. Phos, the Lord of Light, found himself cornered by a sharpshooter in the dead of the night. This unlikely encounter led to destiny. — The marksman needed to kill a kind, beautiful man. From the photos, his target had crystalline orange eyes and glowing silver hair that cascaded down to the floor in waves. But, as with everything, the real man looked far more lucent and stunning. Like a soft light, like the first glimmer on the ocean’s surface as the Sun arose. Before he could raise his sniper’s rifle to extinguish this ray of light, however, the beautiful target pulled out a pistol and shot him straight in the abdomen. “I hope you don’t die. Good day.” With that, he swiftly turned and left, disappearing into the darkness, his long hair bouncing to his every crisp footstep. Leaving behind the confused marksman, who, dazed, clutched his new wound and slumped to the floor. Later on, the marksman managed to act stupid enough to gain his target’s trust. Showing his true colours, he toyed with a lock of his former victim’s hair, which was as silky and soft as he imagined. He held it to his lips, raised a corner of his black turtleneck to show the bulletwound on his abdomen, and whispered in a deep voice: “This wound, how will you repay it?” The original target, who shined like a dim candlelight under the rays of the moon, stretched up his bound arms to the hitman, brought a gentle hand to his skin, covered the wound… and with an unapologetic, professional business smile, he replied: “I’m sorry, are you really sure you have a scar there? How come I don’t see anything?” The marksman: … It’s because you’re covering it. The man he originally had to kill, who wore white silk pyjamas and a flame-like orange scarf every day and who looked like he could fall over with a slight push from the wind, was actually very resistant—and really, really pissed him off.

My life had always been a series of disappointments. Every dream I chased—whether career ambitions, friendships, or even love—seemed to fall apart. By the time I turned 22, I had hit rock bottom, questioning if life was even worth living. That’s when I discovered VRMMORPGs (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games), a world where I could escape my misery and become someone else. One game, Gildoria Online (GO), stood out above all. Set in a realm of magic and swordplay, it was everything I had ever dreamed of. A place where I could grow stronger, conquer kingdoms, and battle legendary foes. At the top of the game was the ultimate challenge—the Demon King, who ruled over a demon army from the top floor of Doomspire Tower in the Demon Kingdom. In GO, my character’s name was Yeongho. I dedicated myself to the game, rising to Level 200 and becoming a respected veteran known for my skill. I spent my time helping newcomers, offering guidance and encouragement. That’s when I met her—a red-haired girl with mesmerizing green eyes. From the moment we crossed paths, I felt an undeniable connection. We became inseparable, laughing, exploring, and conquering the game’s toughest challenges together. For the first time in years, I felt truly alive. But then, disaster struck. Players across the world suddenly vanished from their homes and found themselves physically transported to Gildoria. In a shocking turn of events, 500,000 players were trapped in the game, transported to another world. Gildoria Online had become a supernatural death game. The stakes were no longer just virtual. The game’s system remained intact, and if a player’s HP dropped to zero, their real body would perish, causing them to vanish from Earth forever. The only way to survive and return to Earth was to defeat the Demon King. I wasn’t logged in when the catastrophe began, but when I saw Mina’s ID among the trapped players, my heart sank. I couldn’t just stand by. Without hesitation, I logged in, determined to rescue her from this nightmare. My body slowly transformed into shards of light, and I was transported to Gildoria. This is the story of how I fought against time, fear, and a death game to rescue the girl I met in a virtual world—a world where the line between life and death had disappeared.

For a certain LoL competition, a certain online streamer famous for pissing people off was currently explaining and broadcasting it at the same time. Streamer: This support, so tr*sh. Streamer: If that jungler was my teammate, I would already be idling at the fountain and playing piano for him by now. Streamer: I recommend that this player go back and properly practice how to last hit. Audience: What bullshit! If you’re any better, then you do it! Streamer: I, your dad, really can do it. Audience: Okokok. If you can do it then I’ll chop off my head so you can kick it. A few months later, the LPL’s veteran pro team TTC announced a new mid laner. A boy with flashy blue hair appeared in front of the audience and played Zed to utter perfection, killing everyone he saw, causing all the female fans to begin toeing the line of infidelity. During the MVP interview after the match, everyone held their breath and eagerly watched this newcomer. Only to see the boy accept the microphone, smile and ask, “That water friend with the StarTV user ID ‘Suburb King 101,’ my team’s address is on the official website, when will you be mailing your head over?” … After a certain regular season match finished, the staff member went backstage to urge the team members to go onstage and conduct their interviews, only to see TTC’s new mid laner and jungler standing in the corner. TTC’s number one ace · jungler daddy Road pressed their team’s new mid laner Soft against the wall. He lowered his eyes and asked slowly, “In the interview later, do you know what to do?” That quick-tempered mid laner, who had solidified his image as a troll in the audience’s eyes the very first time he went on stage, was currently blushing completely red. “I know. I won’t curse at anyone… I definitely won’t curse at anyone.”
