Henry Savoy was a mixer—not bartender!—and the owner of a little local dive called the Walking Stick. After a particularly great night, just as he was about to close up, a sudden storm hit his bar. But—he didn’t die. Or... did he? No, I'm just fucking with you. Much to his surprise, he was transported into the world of Tearh—one right out of a fantasy novel. When he awoke, monks immediately declared him the Chosen One. Worse yet, he’s not exactly the hero type, and worse still, this world has no idea what an alcoholic beverage even is. All Henry wants is to get back home to the Walking Stick. So that’s what he’ll do—if the calamitous daemon lords, knights, saints, aristocrats, and a few meddling gods don’t get in his way. If there’s no way home, Henry will make one, because the Walking Stick will always need her mixer. "Or you know, I might stay here because fuck you. That's why."

"Now you see?" she shouted in a mix of annoyance and disappointment. "You can't outsmart Scrients! They're the most intelligent beings across the two realms." "You're right," I muttered, averting my gaze with a heavy sigh. "I made a mistake. I was too arrogant to think that a mere human like me could fool them." —BOOM!! "Heik! Wh-What was that?" "Hmm? I'm not sure. Maybe you should go and ask the most intelligent beings across the two realms. Oh wait, you can't. I killed them all.” ______ My name is Samael Kaizer Theosbane. On the last day of high school, I got into a fight with a kid I used to bully. It was a stupid, pointless scuffle, and in the middle of it, I tripped and hit my head on a rock. That’s when the memories came flooding in - the memories of another life, of a different world. Suddenly, everything made a twisted kind of sense. I realized two things. First, I was in a game I used to play in my past life. Second, I was a villain. A villain! Not the cool and mysterious kind, either. No, my destiny was to be manipulated and die a dog's death! I was the worst type of cliché: an ungrateful, privileged, insufferable young master. The sort you'd find in those poorly written fantasy stories. The kind everyone hates — a snobby brat from a powerful noble family who thinks he owns the world just because he was born with a silver spoon lodged in his mouth. You know the type. The one the hero beats to a pulp to prove his worth. Yeah, I was that guy. And the hero? The hero was the kid I’d been bullying all this time. The same one I got into a fight with. He was the supposed savior of this damned world. A world teetering on the edge of destruction, beset by wars, calamities, and a grim future that only I knew. And at the end of it all, the final antagonist of the game, the undefeatable boss… the Spirit King, was waiting. But could I even make it to the end? Could I conquer a game where defeat was the only certainty? A game that was now my reality! “Ah, fuck it.” I had no idea if I could, but I sure as hell was going to try. Extorting extras, manipulating main characters, twisting the story to my advantage, stealing the hero’s cheat items, killing villains before they could become threats - nothing was beneath me. Would the main characters be affected? Who cares! Would the story change? Even better! All I cared about was me—my survival, my life, my choices. “I will live this life with no regrets.” …But as I soon discovered, fate was not easily changed. And the price of altering one's destiny was steep.

My name is Shaytan. Just Shaytan. Every morning at five, I start my day like anyone else—cereal, eggs, or toast, followed by a meticulous brushing session where I avoid any contact with the damn bogey lurking in the mirror. I have a roommate, a werewolf. We are best friends and also classmates. After school, I work as a bartender in a nearby pub, where apart from your regular humans, other creatures also get together for a drink. Aside from these quirks, my life was relatively normal — until everything turned upside down. The peacefulness of the night seems to be over, the Fifth King is preparing for war — perhaps for world domination —, and common sense has evaporated somewhere along the way. And somehow, I got right in the middle of this glorious mess.

Aiden, hearing all these defensive statements about him began to wonder, "What are they talking about? I'm not sleeping because I'm tired from fighting those aliens.

Qin Zheng fell in love with an insanely handsome bartender and began to court him fervently. She started with publicly announcing her love for Xie Xun, causing him to be stalked by perverts for more than a month. Then, she bought out the bar for one night to confess to him, but tripped over a stool, and splashed wine onto Xie Xun. To celebrate her pursuing Xie Xun for an entire month, she spent a hefty sum on unleashing fireworks in the entire city. Alas, a firework accidentally fell onto Xie Xue, and he was almost hospitalized from being scalded. Xie Xun asked, “Are you trying to court me… or kill me?” Qin Zheng replied, “Baby, let me explain…” When Qin Zheng finally got him, her ex-fiancé mocked, “Qin Zheng, your taste plummeted quite a bit after you left me.” Her biased grandfather raged, “You have shamed the entire Qin family. Break up with that pretty boy at once!” Qin Zheng retorted, “It’s my life and I have authority over it. You have no right to tell me what to do!” She was Qin Corporation’s successor and the Qin family’s current matriarch. She was even a demon lord in the business industry, so who could tell her what to and what not to do? However… the pretty boy Xie Xun’s multiple identities were exposed, and one of them was being the world’s wealthiest and most mysterious bachelor. Qin Zheng exclaimed, “Oh no, I’ve been tricked.” She packed up her luggage overnight and got ready to leave, but Xie Xun blocked her way. The man’s gaze was dark and ominous. “Zheng Zheng, you provoked me first…” Qin Zheng backed away, feeling guilty. “Uhm… I don’t like powerful men, so we’re not compatible.” Xie Xun coaxed her, saying, “Then I’ll transfer all my assets to you, and be your personal bartender for life. How does that sound?” Qin Zheng stuttered, “O-okay…” Who could possibly say no to that?!

"Ugh! Why did the author choose my name as the Villain's name of all the names in Coldbourne? And that damn villain killed his own baby in jealousy when he is the one who destroyed the lives of the lovely couple Arik and Maven."

"What the hell-" He paused as he looked at the room with dilated pupils. "This is the room in Hotel Fortune where the Alpha Arik Esmeray and that shameless villain Hael Lucian spent their night together, right?" "I remember the details of the room very clearly cause I looked at it many times admiring the artist's work... but how can this be possible?" He stretched his neck to glance at the sleeping man and was left in utter shock. "ALPHA ARIK ESMERAY?" And shut his mouth quickly. He then saw himself in the mirror in front of him. He had wolf ears and a tail sticking out above his butt. "So, I got transmigrated into my favorite Manga? But... why am I the fucking Villain? And why at this scene?" Hael banged his head on the wall but sensed a sharp pain in his butt. "Yikes! My rear end! First, I have to get out of here before he wakes up. I need to run away from this fucking city otherwise I will end up in jail at this rate and meet a miserable end.... ahhh!" To save his ass Hael dressed up and left the hotel room leaving a small note on top of the drawer beside the bed. Three Months Later... "Hael, you are pregnant with twins." "WHAT?!" Hael was shocked. »»-----------«« What will Arik do when he gets to know that the person he had a nightstand with under drug influence was pregnant? Will he accept Hael and his pups?

I could hear the din from the bar as I exited my SUV and I was still almost a block away. What a shame! I knew from long experience that would change as soon as my foot crossed the threshold. I tend to have that effect on people. I’m six feet six inches tall and I weigh an even 250 pounds—all of it broad shouldered muscle. My Body Mass Index at my last physical was less than four percent. My light brown hair is styled exactly the way it’s been for the past fifteen years—ever since I first joined the Navy. Sure enough, no sooner had I taken my first step into the bar than the noise died. When I turned left and stepped up to the bar the people there couldn’t back away fast enough. I took a stool in the middle of the empty space and sat down, waiting for the bartender to approach. “I’m not looking for any trouble.” “Good…neither am I. Give me a ginger ale.” He reached under the bar for a glass and some ice. Twenty seconds later he slid the glass in my direction. I pulled a fiver from my pocket and dropped it on the bar. He ignored it and walked away to draw a few beers and pour some wine. It looked to me like this was a pretty cheap crowd. Checking up and down the bar all I could see were longnecks and drafts. I reached into the lower left pocket of my cargo pants. Like almost everything else I was wearing they were a true deep navy blue. My heavy shoes were black as was my wide belt. My belt said as much about me as the bold white lettering across my chest. Just below the American flag over my heart were the letters that were my life—U. S. MARSHAL. On my right hip was my nickel plated .44 Magnum Colt Python, just behind two speed loaders in addition to the twenty-four rounds on the belt. On my left hip was my ASP Talon baton—every bit as deadly a weapon in my hands as the revolver. A pouch at the back of my right hip held my stainless steel handcuffs and its partner on the opposite side held my radio—my link to my backup team. I placed the photo flat on the bar as the bartender returned to me. “I’ll have another,” I said in a loud voice, continuing so I wouldn’t be overheard. “Don’t pick it up and don’t make a production of looking at it. I’ve been told that he comes here a lot. Is he here tonight? If he is and he escapes because you’ve given me away I’ll see to it that you’re arrested for obstruction of justice.” He gulped a few times but did as he was told, nodding slightly in response. I continued almost at a whisper. “If my nose is pointing to twelve o’clock, my right ear to three, the back of my head to six, and my left ear to nine, tell me where he is. Again, don’t point or do anything obvious and we’ll be fine.” He pretended to wipe the bar as he whispered, “About 4:30 with his back to you.” I picked up the reflection in the mirror then asked, “Red shirt with black and white stripes, looking away from me?” He nodded again. Now, in my normal tone of voice I asked, “Where’s the men’s room?”

A handsome half-orc with a hulking body filled with perfect muscles stands carrying a great axe over one shoulder. His neon blue eyes watching the void, waiting for those that would threaten his world. Huge creatures with monstrous figures, beasts of the abyss, here to kill the orc. Their angered shrieks and pained screams filled the air. The corpses of these monsters surround his body, forming his throne of dread. His long tail smashed down, turning them into pulp while using his brutal axe with powerful chops, cleaving them into pieces. "This world shall become ours; you cannot stop our legion! Orc!" a distorted and evil voice sounded. "WATCH ME!" Shouted the orc, filled with confidence and pride. In defiance, a purple mist shrouded him as he transformed into a monster himself, with long gryphon wings and sharp horns from his head—a hulking muscular body and legs filled with thick scales and black hooves. Bang! The orc stepped forward, his heart burning with passion and desire as he bellowed with a demonic and distorted voice. "I am the Sovereign of Dread, foul Daemons. This is MY world! Return to your wasteland to rot, or DIE!" He was a manticore, the only male manticore ever to exist. He fights not for power. Not for glory!
