Shion's life changed the day the world experienced the Blackout. Awakening to find her father ensorcelled (it *is* a word), Shion joins a group of adventurers, Dave, Jova and Jova's twin sister, the group leader, Mila, in order to find a mage powerful enough to break the spell. She soon finds that her father is not the only one suffering under the spell, but she soon learns that Mila, Jova and Dave have deceived her. Now lost in a sprawling, lost, underground city, infested with the darkest, most horrific creatures, the group fight for their very survival. Along the way, Shion has to examine everything she believes in, what she knows is real and what isn't and her true place in the world. Also, there's Bob(s), Trevor and Bernard to deal with. This complicates things. (TW: Foul language throughout) (Cover created in Canva, using Logokit for text and a stock photo adapted by AI)

Captain Henry Donnager expected a quiet career babysitting a dusty relic in Area 51. But when a test unlocks a portal to a world of knights and magic, he's thrust into command of Alpha Team, an elite unit tasked with exploring this new realm. They join the local Adventurers Guild, seeking to unravel the secrets of this fantastical realm and the ancient gateway's creators. As their quests reveal the potent forces of magic, they inadvertently entangle in the volatile politics between local rivalling factions. With American technology and ancient secrets in the balance, Henry's team navigates alliances and hostilities, enlisting local legends and air support in their quest. In a land where dragons loom, they discover that modern warfare's might-Hellfire missiles included-holds its own brand of magic.

×Mature× > She died a jobless anime binge-watcher. She woke up a chubby, unwanted beast bride. Odette didn't ask for a second life-especially not in the body of a despised gray swan with five drop-dead-gorgeous beastmen husbands who can't even look her in the eye. Forgotten by her tribe, accused of crimes she didn't commit, and left to drown by the very men who vowed to protect her... it should've ended there. But fate-no, a shady cosmic system-had other plans. Armed with a cheat-like storage space, a secondhand body, and five cold marks on her hand proving none of her husbands ever claimed her, Odette decides it's time to rewrite this beastly romance into her own personal revenge story. Who needs loyalty when she can hoard hotter husbands? Who needs love when she can live deliciously petty? Let the ex-husbands regret. Let the new suitors line up. And let the Swan Queen rise-feathers, fat rolls, and all.
