River City Ransom Ost

The flu virus broke out in the city. At first, people thought it was just a common flu, until a large number of dead people suddenly resurrected and ate the flesh and blood of the living. However, as a series of zombie bites continued to emerge, things gradually got out of control.

The invincible strongman who roams through the city by day and night, a supreme soldier king that moves across the urban landscape.

Three years ago, he got into serious trouble for a woman's sake and ended up serving a three-year sentence. Three years later, he returned triumphant, only to find that the woman had sided with their enemies, and his closest friend had been ruined. In life, simplicity reigns: with the sky above, the earth below, brothers in the heart, and the beloved in the embrace, one needs nothing more. Yet, life is not always simple: facing obstacles from gods and buddhas alike, he vows to conquer all challenges across three thousand worlds. Nothing can stand in his way!

This adventure takes place in the City. Because there is no place but the City. The City contains all. And the City stretches endlessly beneath the wing of the goddess Heron. Praised be Her Wing!** A scholarly giant from distant buildings, an inventor child obsessed with deadly engines, two priests of the Loving Heron, and a swordsman seeking death make up **Team 1.2**. Their mission: to traverse the bowels of the City and determine whether war—that notion of distant times, a fantasy from ancient tomes—can be exported to the muddy, wild alleyways barely two meters wide, where no one, at least not officially, has set foot in centuries. And above all, to verify the profitability of potential war.

In a city where justice is sold to the highest bidder, one man refuses to stay buried. Vincent Kang was once a ghost—a retired soldier, erased from the books, forgotten by the system that used him. But when the shadows come knocking, and the ghosts of the past return with blood on their hands, Vincent does the unthinkable: he fights back. From back-alley ambushes to government conspiracies, Vincent is thrust into a web of corruption, betrayal, and buried truth. With only a rogue hacker and his instincts by his side, he infiltrates the very institutions that branded him disposable. They thought he was dead. They’ll wish he stayed that way. No Saints in the City is a cinematic action-thriller told in brutal, noir-stained chapters. Gritty action meets political intrigue in a slow-burning revenge story with echoes of The Bourne Identity, John Wick, and The Equalizer. No superpowers. No capes. Just one man against the system.

Battling rogue vampires, mutated creatures and her own past, Love works to unravel the mysteries behind the secretive Helsing unit, and tries to become the bridge between humans and vampires in a world filled with discrimination. This novel starts intentionally slow through the exposition and world building, everything kicks into gear after the turning point in the latter half of Volume 1, and especially Volume 2, where the tone of the novel shifts. So, I hope you stick with it and enjoy the wild ride! I also added some song recommendations along the way to listen to whilst you read certain chapters, I hope this helps boost the experience.

An Imperial Scholar by day. An assassin by night. The World of Cultivation has changed. Elemental Mancers. Flux Mancers. Spirit Mancers. Soul Mancers. Raining down fire and splitting oceans. Destroying mountains with a single stomp and calming skies with a glance. Controlling the tides of Karma, while wielding the souls of others like a puppeteer tugging on the Lines of Fate. The most mysterious of them all were Spirit Mancers, a truth that Theron was more than intimately familiar with. Due to one's Tribulation, his life was turned upside down.

Everything had changed. He donned a cloak in the silent night as the clouds above gathered. Pulling its hood over his chilling blue eyes, he stalked off into the darkness. The first droplets fell. He would become the nightmare of his enemies, the blade hidden in the shadows of Heaven's tears. The River of the Night.
