Chaaya never quite fit in. Shrouded in shadows, she sat in the back of every class, unnoticed, passing through school like a figment of the imagination. That is, until she watches the soccer team captain, Auris, leap to the top of a fifteen-foot fence one day. When he realizes he's being watched, he loses his footing and falls from the fence, bringing down Chaaya's sense of reality with him. When he reveals the source of his power, the enhanced physicality standard for elves, Chaaya discovers a whole nother world lies hidden beneath the surface of the reality she thought she knew. He not only invites her to watch his soccer game, but presses further with a hopeful invitation to go on a date with him. Chaaya finds herself enthralled with the young elf. Only when her own bloodline comes into question does the budding romance begin to take a turn for the worst. Perhaps Chaaya has the blood on inhuman beings running through her veins as well...

Yancey finds a strange pop-up ad for a video game on her screen late one night, intriguingly titled "King Me". Not one for pop-ups, but a gaming addict, she clicks in and finds the game prompts her to select her five kings. With a little tutorial readthrough, she learns that kings are humans with the greatest level of skill in a certain field to ever live. She begins selections as any RPG gamer might; a tank king, necromancer king, and a bard king. Some tingle in the back of her mind tells her this isn't a regular game. That, and the fact that each king has their own pictures of a real person and information. Her next selection is made off of a favorite movie of hers, selecting the Drift King. A racecar driver in an RPG? Not the strangest thing she's heard of, but certainly not typical. She continues with this selection of irregulars to add an interesting taste to the game, finishing her selections with a Strategy King. With her selection finished, she finds herself instantly taken to a new world. Her choices hadn't been for a video game; they'd been made to create a team to participate in a combat tournament far across the universe. Her troubles only grow as she finds her selection has virtually no combatants, and that they are all now expected to fight otherworldly Kings selected by alien races-- fights that often end in death. Not just their death, mind you. A losing team has their world destroyed. Can our rag-tag team of losers somehow manage to defeat monsters dug up from the depths of the dark unknown?

Death. War. Famine. Conquest. The Apocalypse is only ever four deadly steps away, and the heroes keeping it at bay are Saints, and the villains pushing for its manifestation are Sins. In every day trials, Saints and Sins must battle each other for the loyalty of humanity, for whomever controls the people, controls the fate of the world. In its history, humanity has never been closer to the apocalypse than in the moment when our story begins, when the Saints receive their most inexperienced and unqualified recruit yet--Olivia Yves. **Rated Mature for scenes of violence and possible triggers--every chapter containing these are headed with a warning.**

When the thrilling lands of RPGs come to life for Donovan; monsters, dungeons, experience points and leveling up, he is amazed. Never in his life could he have imagined the mysterious and exciting world that awaited him. After conquering a dungeon to rule for himself though, things get real. Stronger and stronger enemies are arising, and a messenger from the underworld brings a horrifying notice. He and his dungeon are to be brought to the underworld, where even his astonishing level is on the bottom of the totem pole. Then, just as soon as he thinks everything is going well (or at least as well as can be for somebody living in the underworld), he loses it all. But, from the ashes, a new power burns through him. A power only the most powerful titans have even dreamed of wielding. The power of Creation. But alas, nothing is as it seems anymore. All alone in the darkest place imaginable, can he survive?
