Operation Basepoint

When operative Smith is dispatched to retrieve the fabled Golden Eye, he uncovers a hidden world of ancient secrets and deadly adversaries.

In the spiritual world invisible to the human eye constant and brutal war rages between angels and demons for the souls of humankind. As humanity spread to other planets in the universe, so too did their divine guardians and vile attackers. There are multiple heavens and hells scattered around, serving as bases of operation for each side in this neverending battle. To combat their hellish enemies, angels organized a special military order. They called them Hell Purgers. Every member underwent rigorous training in an effort to become the best warriors the angelic force had in their ranks. With practice and constant battle, their power and skill grew and they eventually became one-man armies, bringing many victories to the angels. This in time made them the main targets of the demonic side and in various ways, one by one, they were eliminated until only a few remained. One of the few survivors of this legendary order who, now old and wise from the immense experience of countless battles he took part in, took it upon himself to reinvigorate the order. He picked an apprentice and trained him even harder than he was trained in one and only goal: to make the best angelic warrior there ever was. With his training complete, the young apprentice is now ready for his final exam. This is where our story begins. Follow his journey from being a willing, but inexperienced apprentice to becoming the legendary Hell Purger, the bane demons!

The universe has always operated by a single, unwavering law: "Survival of the fittest." This fundamental rule governs everything, living or non-living.

The pendant he wore, a constant presence he vaguely remembered from his earliest memories, suddenly flared to life. It was his only tangible connection to his past.

[WARNING: MATURE CONTENT] The Emperor’s runaway brides have formed a rebel group of scantily clad beauties trained in honey trap techniques. Delphi Chastain is their leader, a fiery beauty with a big axe to grind and a dream of freedom she’s willing to die for. EXTRACT: “Kiss me baby?” she said in her best babydoll voice. He didn’t have to be asked twice. Niko pinned her arms above her head and kissed her roughly with all of the force of the desire he was feeling. Three, two, one! she counted in her head. She bit his lip at the same time as she brought her knee up as hard as she could and kneed the man in the groin. “Ooaah,” he moaned. He fell sideways off her, clutching his balls. She leapt to her feet and sprinted off, picking up her belongings on the way past. “Thanks for saving me baby,” she called cheerily at him as she ran away. “Sorry about the crown jewels, but I’m not going back to the palace, so I don’t need them.” Post-WW3 there’s just the Island, and it’s ruled by the Emperor. It’s back to the good old days of polygamy and keeping women covered and chaperoned. The Emperor has raised Delphi and seven other gorgeous girls in the palace to join his harem, training and surgically enhancing them, like treats in a fantasy smorgasbord. But the girls escape and sail off the Island to the uninhabited Mainland, now overrun by mutant tubiàn beasts created as weapons during the War. Hot on their tails are the Emperor’s Honour Guard. Delphi leads the Girls over, under (^_-), and through the enemy, as they battle and tame beasts and men in their struggle to build an army to take down the Empire. Can the girls survive on their own on the Mainland and build a rebel army? Are there any trustworthy men, or are they all the same? Can the Guards resist the charms of the warrior girls? Do they want to? #enemiestolovers #sexywarrior #r18 #smut #post-apocalypse #war #action #fastpaced #scifi #betrayal #revenge #beast taming #battleofthesexes

Renave, is a former government agent who once exposed a major criminal operation led by Bruno Genovese, the boss of the Genovese crime family, one of the Five Mafia Families of New York. It all began with an online relationship between James and Stacy Spark, a British woman, whose life was turned upside down when Bruno, infatuated with Stacy's photos, ordered her kidnapping. When James could not reach Stacy, he uncovered through Interpol that she had been abducted by Genovese’s men, and the crime was caught on CCTV. James tracked her across international borders, discovering she was in Mexico, heading toward the U.S. Armed with information from satellite surveillance, James managed to track Stacy’s whereabouts and intercept her, saving her from Bruno’s grip. This led to the dismantling of a large narcotics operation tied to Genovese and ultimately resulted in Bruno's imprisonment.
