"It is said he walked through fire and rain"... more>>

Ramor-Tai monastery is the haven of the Wasteland - the place where heroic Cultivators can hone their skills through meditation and martial tournaments. For decades this place has stood as a bastion of humanity against the storms of war that threaten to engulf what remains of the world, though the Disciples of each Sect have agreed to a strict pact of non-interference with worldly affairs.

So when a man made of steel comes to knock at their doors one morning, he is met with shock and suspicion.

Jade-skinned beauties? Godlike powers? The ability to command the heavens themselves? These common dreams were not the desires of the machine-man. All he cared about was learning, understanding, and harnessing his Qi. All he wanted was an answer to the question: "Do I have a soul?"

His name was XJ-V. This is the tale of his legend.

Dreu Guillotin was an ordinary peasant living in the town of Berkton when an army of demons attacked. Faced with impending doom, he discovered the... more>> dormant power within him. The Emperor Class, a unique character class, gifted its user the power to summon loyal soldiers to fight in one’s name.

'An ill-fated prince marked for death, a trickster imprisoned by the gods...together, they might gain the strength to change their ill fate.' ... more>>

Bram of House Attilan is a prince with an ill fate. For in a land where sorcery is the dominant force, a young man cursed with a body lacking talent for even basic spells is scorned by nobles and commoners alike. Fortunately for Bram, as a child of the Sovereign who rules the Atlan Imperium, even an ‘Ill-Fated Prince’ is given a chance to prove his worth…and Bram means to do just that.

Believing that a talentless man can achieve success by gathering talented people to work under him, Bram, the newly appointed governor of Lotharin, one of the twelve kingdoms that make up the imperium, devises an ingenious plot to use a 'self-improvement system' called the ‘Loom’ to develop the talented people his kingdom needs.

Such an undertaking will require the aid of a master trickster—one powerful enough to help Bram kidnap humans from a world called Earth to enlist their expertise in performing the greatest trick ever sold; hoodwinking their fellow Earthers into believing they’re playing a videogame while they work to solve the many troubles plaguing Bram’s kingdom, thus giving him the talents he needs to make Lotharin great again...and finally prove himself a worthy prince.

The golden light enveloped everything as the red sun slowly rose. A woman stood amidst a battlefield painted red with the blood of many fallen soldiers and wizards. Her long black hair, which looked like a void, cascaded around her in the morning breeze, which carried the pungently sweet scent of death.

Her clear blue eyes, which resembled the deep and vast ocean, stared directly at the blonde man in shining armor.
Her arms loosely hung as her posture stooped, she waved her two short, intricately designed black daggers dripping with blood at the man taunting him.

The blonde-haired, handsome man stared at her with his determined blue eyes as he pointed his big and glimmering sword at her.

The woman's stone-cold face slowly turned to a malicious sneer as she licked the blood in her daggers right before charging at the man.

Ayre - Freshly crowned fourteenth of the Vylian Castellan's unholy brood, has up until now only ever known the depths of the mountain castle where most who resist the Empire's rule are condemned. In the darkness of those depths, strength alone ruled over whether or not Ayre could continue to exist. But in the world beyond, that strength will only take Ayre so far.... more>>

An arranged marriage, covetous siblings, and foreign vassals with their own ideas of how to use Ayre are but the foremost among the unwanted Prince's concerns. With a blood starved parasite and the revelation of how Vylian nobility are made weighing heavily on their chest, Ayre must grapple with a body that no longer feels entirely their own.

But Ayre swore to protect a pair of girls who have only known the expectation of being raised to serve as blood dolls for Vylian Nobility. Despite being the only living people to show Ayre kindness, stomaching the idea of feeding on them is starting to look like the only option for the foreseeable future.

What kind of life can Ayre claim beyond the violence of the empire they serve? How can Ayre and those they have sworn to protect move past what has already been done? How will each subject of imperial rule handle being expected to continue acting as an extension of something crueler?

Shen Yu was sincerely in love. For that person’s sake, Shen Yu ignored his illness-ridden body and plotted to overthrow the tyrant. It was only after Shen Yu died that he learned the truth.

Tyrant: “? ? ? ? ?”
Shen Yu entered the palace expecting to die, but he waited and waited and waited. In the end, the officials petitioned to make him the empress, and the tyrant cured his deadly illness.
