Deep in the Void a universe called the Dream Universe made up of planets called the Realms. A place where all those who cultivate and who strive to ascend into Cosmic God status is the goal. Here the Dream Universe is governed by a Cosmic being known simply as the World. The World crowns kings to rule and chooses only those with the potential to join the Primordial regime. Every hundred years each who are crowned are given something called the King's Test. Since the World does not personally take part in this test they summon a champion from the Realms with the same potentials as the Kings. They are King Slayer warriors with strong power and skill chosen to either die showing a king's potential, or kill the king to make way for a new one. This particular test is different. This is an eradication of King's who have abused power and caused strife among the realms erupting into a civil war. The newest King Slayer is one who is not only powerful, but carries a Thread of Necessity with a destiny to bring great change to the Realms. All the World wants is for the wicked Kings to fall and clean the slate. The King Slayer wants power and freedom. But both don’t realize how different this Test will be. Author Note: First volume I throw you into the story. I wrote it where it builds and the world around it builds as it goes along. You learn the back story of the Slayer in volume 2. I wanted to stand out and immerse you into the world I’m creating.

After years of war, he fell to an unknown girl, her blade severing his dominion and scattering his power across the divine realm. Her ascension as the Unknown Goddess sent tremors through the heavens, draining half the strength of every god and reshaping the world itself. One hundred years later, the God King awakens, not as a deity, but as a mortal. Weak, nameless, and forgotten. His former apostles have splintered into warring factions, the gods he once ruled over vie for dominance, and the Unknown Goddess remains an enigma, her power untouched by time.

Now, with the fate of his camp hanging by a thread, Leo must choose: will he wield this power to protect those he loves, or will it consume him, turning him into something more dangerous than the Sentinels themselves?

In the year 3147 the Roman Imperium had finally achieved its goal of colonizing its own corner of the galaxy. Unlike in our own world the Rome of this one never fell, but instead grew to encompass the whole of the earth, and overtime spread itself, and humanity, among the stars. Yet even with the marvelous advancements in technology, healthcare, welfare, and every other category required for a thriving society. There is still one roman tradition that refuses to die. GLADIATORS!! And we should all be glad for it, because during the year 3149, just two years after the long and exhausting colonization campaigns were ended, mankind learned that it was not alone in the galaxy, let alone the universe. It had just stepped onto a much bigger stage where entire planets and even star systems were used as bargaining chips in universal gladiator games. Wars on a galactic scale are far too destructive to simply be allowed, if left unchecked the vast majority of life in the universe would cease to be. Therefore each race recognized by the galactic or universal council (it changes depending on the scale of the race itself) must submit champions or gladiators to represent them in the games. The winners gain unfathomable rewards, the losers perish or worse have their entire species enslaved. Please join our hero as he embarks upon his own perilous journey as a lanista, will he rise above the masses, or fall like so many others before him? Or perhaps his own latent gifts may bring him to a height, or depth hitherto unexplored by any before.

A man in his thirties was standing in front of she-devil's grave, under everyone's watchful eyes, he dropped the flower to her coffin, his tone was full of ridicule. "Congrats on your death." Next year he came, "I won. You lost to me and I will live well. Just rot in there." Next year he came again, "I have a pretty girlfriend and I will marry next year. My life is good. Nothing to worry about." Next year he came once more, "I will stop visiting and forget you! My life is better without you! See, I live well!" But he came again the next year and the years after that. People said he was hunted by his so-called arch-enemy. That even after death, the devil did not even let him go. He stood in front of her grave. His once handsome face had turned old and wrinkly. "Bei Sangyun, I cursed you. You are not allowed to rest in peace. You must be suffering there like me, right? You devil..." He might be the last one standing. But his life was the same as the dead's- lifeless and empty. He did not live well, he never once marry and his heart was never at peace. And it was all the fault of one person. ***** Bei Sangyun was a big bully in high school. The target of her bullying was the skinny boy in her grade, Fei Chuan. They were classmates once in kindergarten and met again in high school. But one day, just a year left before graduation, the big bully suddenly changed. One day, Fei Chuan hesitantly opened his locker. The other night, the big bully said that she left something in his locker. He did not really want to open it. He was afraid a poisonous snake would come out of his locker. However, his report card was there. With gritted teeth, the young boy opened it. However, what appeared was not a hideous thing as he expected, but a bright pink letter with a little heart sticker as a seal. It turned out, the surprise was scarier than a snake. Was this a new form of torture? Since then, Bei Sangyun relentlessly chased the young Fei Chuan until the two got married. ****** This is a story of rebirth. The two arch-enemies who could not live under the same sky had become sweet lovers.

I never imagined I'd fall in love at first sight with a stranger I'd met in a bar, but I was immediately seduced by Julian's green eyes, his magnetic aura and the burning gaze he cast over me. After a crazy night of passion with him, I was already imagining myself living a beautiful love story. The cold look he gave me when I woke up was like taking a cold shower in winter... So that's all it was for him, a one-night stand? I was naive to think that a billionaire CEO would be interested in an ordinary girl like me. Is being pretty enough to retain this golden boy such as Christopher Kole? I don't think so, my goodgirl style must have put him off. I could have recovered easily from this affair but, unfortunately, it left consequences. Dialogues: • "You know I want you, it’s not a secret and I know you want me too " he said his voice filled with a confidence that frightened and exhilarated her at the same time… • "The attraction between us is as strong as it was on the first day. You try to hide it, but I can see it. I see it in the way your eyes blink at me, in the way your breath stops when I get too close.” • "Yes, I want you," she admitted, her voice firm despite the trembling. "But desire is not a sufficient reason to marry you, Julian. What about love?” • “I'm going to marry you but under certain conditions” she says. • "Reeva, you can't take away this attraction between us. I will make you mine and you will love him like the first time we made love". • "Yes, love, I am here to satisfy you”, he said. • "Please," she begged again, her voice barely whispered. "I can't... I can't take it anymore…Come inside me now.” • "There is enough money in this envelope for you to take a taxi home. Last night was fabulous, but not so fabulous that I want to see you again. I'm used to women pretending to be in love with me after a torrid night just because they're hoping to trap me. You're the one who should get the Oscar for Best Actress. • Don't try to come back in a few weeks and tell me you're pregnant, it won't work. I took precautions yesterday.

A world filled with swords, magic, and a kingdom embroiled in war. Immediately upon arrival, the class is asked to help a Human Kingdom win the ongoing war against a Demon King's forces. Only once victory is secured would it be possible for them to return home. Not all were swayed by the Kingdom's desperate pleas, however. Christopher Monty, a lifelong skeptic and skilled academic, wanted out before he was dragged into someone else’s mess. Disdaining his gullible former classmates, he began laying plans to escape and live out the rest of his days in this new world on his own terms. Using the cheat-like skills given to him by his transmigration and his unique Monster Tamer job, he will gather and train female monsters to help him escape. Once free, he’ll evolve his tamed monsters into human-like monster girls called Xenos, and fulfill his fantasy dream of building a monster girl harem. Life might not be easy in an alternate reality filled with magic, but Chris isn’t afraid to play dirty to achieve his goals and learn to thrive on the fantasy world of Lanka as the ruler of Xenos monsters, the first ever Xeno King.
