"Don't you have someone waiting for you in Itaca Captain? Maybe a wife or a son?!" I was so furious I didn't even notice the complete shock on Odysseus' face, and his shock rapidly turned into anger as well. "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! YOU KNOW THERE'S NOBODY IN ITACA WAITING FOR ME!" "HOW DARE YOU TALK LIKE THAT? WHAT ABOUT PENELOPE AND TELEMACHUS?!" "WHO THE FUCK ARE THESE PEOPLE NOW?!" And that was the moment everything I thought I knew crumbled. [!attention!

Leonar is a compulsive gambler, now in debt up to his neck. The worst part? Even though his ability reactivated the moment he entered a dungeon, he can't use it in his world’s casinos because they don’t allow Awakened.

But there, he saw a color he’d never seen before on an item among the casino's prizes. Gold. Though he never imagined he’d become the hunter destined to protect the world—with several sexy yet insufferable ego-weapons. "Damn it, can’t you all be quiet for one second? I finally know what to do!" "But it was Eleonora who started it!" "No, you did!" "Ladies… we’re in the middle of a battle… calm down… you’re going to get Leonar killed!"

After countless attempts, he finally cleared every last rift, vanquishing the monsters that plagued humanity. Believing he’d broken his curse, he found only another fate in store: rebirth 400 years later as Nam Damin, a lowly rift cleaner in an era where rifts have returned, and humanity is under siege once more. Stripped of his former strength and reduced to the fringes of society, Damin survives on the edges of this new world. But during a deadly encounter, as hope fades, a holographic screen appears before him: > [You have now Awakened as a Beast Tamer] [Rank: F-Class] [Memory Sync Initiated...] • • [Past Abilities Detected] • • [Status: Locked due to weak body.] For a man who once wielded unstoppable power, "F class Beast Tamer" feels almost insulting. Yet, as Damin soon discovers, his new class holds abilities unlike any he’s known. Starting from the ground up in a world that barely remembers him, Damin must climb through the ranks, transforming this unlikely class into his ultimate strength. This time, mere survival is only the beginning.

“CONGRATS, Miss Baek— you’re pregnant with South Korea’s #1 Hunter’s baby!” Baek Gyubin, the leader of a flopped Kpop girl group, is beyond shocked after hearing that she's carrying Hunter Han Wooju’s baby in her womb. And to be informed that she's pregnant as a twenty-five-year-old virgin? That's crazy! It's even crazier that her ‘baby daddy’ is the Guildmaster of Blue Dragon— the strongest guild at the moment. Plus, Hunter Han Wooju is the CEO of a luxury shopping mall and a known member of Korea’s W1 Trillion Club. In short, Hunter Han Wooju is way out of Gyubin's league! “How did I get pregnant with your baby, Hunter Han Wooju?” Gyubin asked awkwardly. And then she remembered THAT incident, causing her to gasp out loud. “Is it because I ate your dragon ball?!” Wooju let out a long sigh. “Miss Baek, it was an egg and not a ‘dragon ball.’”

Toki Kaguyama, a 20-year-old high school graduate stuck in a dead-end job, finds his life turned upside down when the company he works for teeters on the edge of bankruptcy. Struggling with finances and trapped in a seemingly endless cycle of stress, Toki decides to blow off steam with a morning jog. Little does he know, that simple jog would be his last in the world he knows. Mid-stride, Toki is suddenly whisked away to another world, joining three other unwitting heroes summoned by the kingdom to face a deadly task: to conquer the 500-floor Great Dungeon to prevent waves of monstrous creatures from overwhelming the kingdom each month. Blessed with special classes, each hero is given a role to help in the kingdom’s desperate fight for survival. One becomes a Sword Saint, another an Archer, and the third a Sorcerer. Toki, however, finds himself bestowed with a class that causes snickers and disbelief at the ceremonial blessing: Chef. Shocked and ridiculed, Toki is the target of mockery from both his fellow heroes and the kingdom’s nobility, who see his culinary class as a joke compared to the combat-ready classes of the other heroes. Humiliated and isolated, Toki decides to forge his own path instead of sticking with his disparaging companions. With no clear direction but a fierce determination to prove his worth, Toki’s first goal is simple: make friends who see him for who he is. As he sets off on his journey, he discovers that there’s more to the Chef class than meets the eye—and that it may hold the key to unique powers and abilities no one ever expected. Armed with his magic pan "Pan-demonium", a dash of defiance, and a hunger for both friendship and adventure, Toki is ready to take on the challenges of this new world, one dish at a time.... (yeah... ok... that kinda sucked.)

Isabella Winters never asked to be the heir to the Blackthorn Pack, but fate has other plans. Raised by an adoptive family after her parents were murdered in an ambush, she returns to the pack she never knew, only to find herself isolated, ridiculed, and caught in a dangerous power struggle. Her grandfather, Alpha Evan, is dying, and with him goes the future of the pack. To secure its future, he demands Isabella marry Lucas Blackwood, the pack’s golden boy and most likely successor to the throne. But Lucas has his own secrets. As the most adored member of the pack, he fears Isabella’s return might take away everything he’s worked for—the throne, the pack, and his future.

That is, until he begins to see the strength, wisdom, and leadership hidden beneath her quiet exterior. When the Blackthorn Pack is thrown into chaos by betrayal from within and a shocking assassination attempt on Alpha Evan, Isabella must confront her destiny. As dangerous enemies close in, Isabella discovers a hidden power that could make her the true leader the pack needs—but only if she can overcome the lies, betrayal, and her own doubts.

It was a life without regret. My parents were in good health, and I wasn’t homey enough for me to combine my studies and part-time jobs. I like fantasy, martial arts, games, fiction movies, cartoons… I’m a normal high school student who likes these things. That was certainly true until ten years ago. This is not the earth. A fantasy world dominated by powerful people. Savage utopia. It is a world where you can take anything with you if you have physical strength. Author: Farnar
