Interviewer: "Immortal Zhou Li, could you tell us why you created the orthodox methods and forged the twelve righteous paths, condensing twelve talismans to resolve ancient and modern disputes?" "Just to liven things up." Interviewer: "Well, I mean, did you reorganize the Great Ming Dynasty and plant the Seven Immortal Gourds based on the laws of myriad spirits, brewing the Spring of Spirit Qi for the glory of mankind or...?" "Just to really liven things up." Interviewer: "No, Immortal Zhou Li, I feel that you've done so much for humanity, for the Immortal Realm, and for Da Ming.

**Blood Oath: The Way of the Shadows** In the underworld of 1990s Japan, where loyalty is paid in blood and betrayal means death, the **Kurogane Syndicate** rules from the shadows. Their deadliest weapon? The Umbra Division—an elite squad of assassins trained to kill without hesitation. Among them is **Ren**, a cold and ruthless killer with no memories of the family he lost. He knows only one purpose: the mission. Alongside him are warriors just as deadly—each with their own pasts, scars, and reasons for walking this merciless path. From brutal hand-to-hand combat to silent executions under the neon glow of Tokyo’s skyline, every assignment is a battle for survival. But as the Umbra Division is sent to eliminate increasingly dangerous targets, whispers spread of an enemy even the Syndicate fears. An unstoppable force lurks in the shadows, threatening to shake the very foundations of the assassin world. And for Ren, the path ahead may force him to question everything he thought he knew—about his past, his purpose, and the meaning of true strength. Loyalty is an illusion. Death is inevitable. The only way to survive… is to kill first.

Damian Cross, known as the "Bullet Reaper," was a legendary military soldier feared across the battlefield for his mastery of dual guns and unmatched combat prowess. Despite his deadly reputation, Damian was a goofy and easygoing guy among his squadmates, known for his laid-back attitude and playful charm. But the moment the battle began, he would become cold, calculating, and ruthless — a tactical genius who could mow down entire enemy squads with precision and efficiency. In the heat of a brutal war, Damian met his end after a desperate final stand, taking down countless enemies before succumbing to his wounds. However, death was not the end for him. He awakens in a mysterious forest, now in a fantasy world filled with magic, monsters, and kingdoms on the brink of war. Clutching his trusted dual guns, Damian quickly realizes he hasn’t lost his skills — and he’s gained something even more powerful: the Blessing of the Primal Fang, a mysterious gift that enhances his guns with elemental magic and supernatural strength. On his first day in this new world, Damian saves a human princess from a monster ambush, instantly catching the attention of the kingdom’s rulers — and the princess herself. Drawn into political intrigue and looming conflicts with demons and rival kingdoms, Damian sets out on an adventure filled with action, danger, and unexpected romance. Along the way, he forms bonds with women from all walks of life — noble knights, rogue assassins, elf princesses, and even powerful demons — who are drawn to his strength, confidence, and surprising kindness beneath his cold exterior. Armed with his dual guns and primal magic, Damian fights to protect those he cares about while unraveling the mystery of his reincarnation. As the dark forces of the demon realm stir and ancient secrets come to light, Damian’s journey will push him to the limits — forcing him to become more than just the Bullet Reaper. But beneath it all, Damian is simply trying to live his life — one bullet at a time.

A heroic tale. A knight in shining armor. A mage who can obliterate the world with just a flick of a finger. A mysterious rogue that moves like a shadow. A goddess so stunning and wise, shining upon the world and giving humanity a flicker of hope in the darkest times. Yeah, you’re not getting that here. Instead, let me introduce you to my squad—ahem, I mean, the Hero's Backup Squad! The unsung, overworked, questionably competent crew that works behind the scenes to make sure the real "heroes" don’t trip over their own destiny and die before they actually save the world. Hah! Do you really think heroes always win? That they magically save the world, have crazy strong powers, never die before the final battle, and somehow pull off the impossible every time? Yeah. That’s because the gods upstairs hire others to make sure things don’t go off track. That’s what we do. The invisible fixers, the divine crisis management team, the ones patching up the hero’s dumb mistakes before it happen while they get all the glory. Not that I’m bitter about it. (Okay, maybe a little.) I’m supposed to give a proper introduction here, but honestly? I don’t, I—ugh. You know what? Just read it. You’ll see. Sincerely, Goddess Yuna Keeper of the Subdivision of Heroic Affairs (And Unpaid Babysitter of Questionable Recruits)

When an S-class elite, assassin-raised captain of a special ops suicide squad comes home from a high-stakes Africa mission, he finds himself offered something that could potentially set him up for life- a curious assignment that he could use to finally exit his days of war and slaughter. Then placed into a high-school setting, Lin Yi is tasked by the chairman of a top-tier multi-billion company with bodyguard duty for non-other than his own daughter, a certain little Miss of said high-school. His enemies, once ranging from drug lords, mafia bosses, political figures, and national leaders, are soon replaced with spoiled kids who happen to have rich papas and mamas, and Lin Yi finds his intense expertise and high-threat skillset misused and very underwhelmed... But he does get a harem cast as diverse as his old enemies, so Lin Yi decides that, for the sake of messing around with girls as an invincible entity in a down-leveled environment, leaving his bloody and death-filled war days behind is something he'd definitely want to strive for.

In a galaxy ravaged by war and haunted by the ever-expanding Dead Zones, Naia is a skilled Harmony Navigator - a person of extraordinary powers that can temporarily stabilize paths through them. Thus she was trained and recruited into the branch of the military known as Vanguard Operations. She finds her romance - a welcome stabilizing factor in her life - thrown into turmoil when the enigmatic and powerful soldier, Theia, joins her squad.

As the saying goes, "Hard times create strong men." It’s a phrase the Valorian nobles love to throw around, a shiny little motto they use to justify their oppression of the lower classes. Up there, near the sky, where the air is cleaner and the sun actually reaches, they live in their glittering towers, untouched by the rot that festers below. Down here, in the depths, it’s a different story. Rats gnaw on the corpses of those killed for a few dollars or maybe it was just a bar fight that went wrong, ending with one of the responsables with a bullet to the head. Who knows? Who cares? That’s just life at the lower levels. Brutal, ugly, and short. I’m one of the lucky ones, if you can call it that. Thanks to my aunt’s tireless efforts, I managed to claw my way into the Valorian Military Academy. Don’t let the fancy name fool you... it’s just a glorified cannon fodder factory. But hey, at least I get paid while I’m here, and that’s more than most lowlifes like me can say. Still, the question gnaws at me... Will I even live long enough to pay my aunt back for everything she’s done for me? Cadets like me are sent on patrols to "maintain order" in the lower districts, which is just a polite way of saying we’re thrown into the meat grinder. The mafias down here don’t care about uniforms or badges. They’ll kill you just for looking at them wrong. And today? Today’s my first time leading a small squad of cadets on patrol. We’ve been assigned to one of the "safest" areas in the lower districts... as if such a place even exists. The air is thick with the stench of decay, and the streets are lined with hollow-eyed faces that have seen too much and given up on hope. But that’s not even the worst part. No, the worst part is her.... This cheeto-headed girl!!
