The World's Number 1 Most Wanted Thief, the Black Cobra, an Egyptian youth specialized in ancient artifacts, was killed in an explosion he set up after being chased into a dead end in New York. Around his middle finger which he pointed at the face of every chaser from every world superpower, he carried the most prized item in the world, the Ring of Horus.
When he kicked off life with a Bang! He returned with a lot of barf and vomit as poison was being cleansed of his body and a series of messages kept popping up. Long story short, he reincarnated into the body of Leon, an antagonist from a game he used... more>> to play and supposedly one who should already be dead. However, the Hunt for his Life never ended and he became the most wanted after reincarnation overnight. And there is System and Magic and Harem and Overpowered Oversmart Overcharismatic Hero who believes in gender equality and human's right to stay silent when he stabs them… good stuff, turly!

(Author Note: The story tries to avoid the cliches and focuses on crime and politics. Not sure about titles with the same quality as this one but I take elements from the usual isekai and mash them with the Korean style characters and attention to details while avoiding the Chinese repetitive plots and the Japanese beta male leads. This is an Egyptian MC whom you have never seen any like before. He kisses babies and slaps bitches… or kisses bitches and slaps babies… depending on which day of the week it is. He's a mean guy and he knows kung fu. One time an author tried to write him in a novel, the novel almost absorbed the author and he went into a torturous isekai. What more can I say? Read it already!)

Shadowrun: The Wild Fire Tales is a web novel based on the Shadowrun tabletop RPG and video games. It tells the story of one Leon Eagles, formerly known as "Wild Fire", a quick and deadly gunslinger regarded as one of the best "shadowrunners" in North America. If you need someone to perform jobs in the shadows of society such as bodyguard duty, espionage, or even murder, Leon Eagles is the man to call. Together with his allies Sylvia Morrow and Brandon Rivers, Leon fights week-to-week to survive in a world of arcane magic and cutting-edge technology, a world of corporate suits and fire-breathing hellhounds, and a world where some of its biggest ever surprises are... more>> still yet to come......

This is my first web novel and any comments and feedback are appreciated. Terms for those unfamiliar to Shadowrun will be in the glossary, and I'll try to explain as much of the world as I can in this story. I hope non-Shadowrun fans become interested in the Shadowrun world at large, and I hope Shadowrun fans are entertained by my take on this great in-game universe!

(Story (hopefully) coming soon to Royal Road!

Every few centuries, a beastkin tribe resting in the furthest reaches of the cold north is blessed with a rare, ancient bloodline. They are beings of immense strength said to wield powers from the very infernos of the underworld. ... more>>

Melantha, a hellhound beastkin of the Kordigna tribe, was not gifted these powerful traits alongside her three sisters. Her flames are mere embers in comparison. Her claws are dull and malformed. Her strength, while superior to most humans, is but a fraction.

All she inherited was the ferocity of her kind.

Shunned by her people and seen as a mockery delivered by their goddess, Melantha discards her contrived status to explore the world. After meeting a mysterious contact, she learns that perhaps there is something more to her – something beyond her supposedly-deficient abilities.

Melantha's journey leads her to Sarkest, a grand city ruled by cutthroat nobility, corrupt politicians and a sophisticated criminal underbelly. Here is where she will stake her claim in a land of violent conquerors.
For Melantha, there is something special about a brutal kill, but there is also a whimsical satisfaction in a battle of wits.

Her motto: “Kill with brutal efficiency.”

In spite of his upbringing, Mikey has had one question his entire life - only to recently find a new one to accompany it: What was this 'X' marked on the back of his hand? And why is it now glowing? <<less
