Hansu Lee is a twenty-nine-year-old game addict who has devoted almost a decade of his life to beating the notoriously difficult game Dungeon & Stone. When he finally reaches the boss monster, a status window appears with the message "Tutorial Complete," followed by a blinding light. Suddenly, Hansu is transformed into a barbarian named Bjorn Yandel inside the world of the game-but it's no longer just a game, it's actually real! With nothing but the weapon in his hand and his prior knowledge of the game, Bjorn must fight for his life in a world full of deadly monsters-and conceal his true identity to avoid execution-in a real-life battle for the survival of the fittest.

At their high school graduation, fifty-three students and their teacher are suddenly engulfed in a blinding light-summoned to another world on the brink of ruin. In this foreign kingdom teetering on the edge of collapse, they are hailed as the chosen heroes destined to stop a mysterious cult bent on reviving the Demon Lord. Granted powerful abilities, noble titles, and a grand mission, the students are thrust into a world of magic, monsters, and prophecy. But for me-Eiji Minato-this isn't a nightmare. It's everything I ever wished for. Quiet, distant, and disillusioned with my old life, I had always longed to escape into a world of fantasy-not to become a hero, but to live freely as an adventurer. To explore uncharted lands, delve into ancient ruins, and uncover forgotten magic. Now that wish has come true, and I refuse to be bound by a king's command or a destiny I never chose. While my classmates train as champions of fate, I turn my back on the crown and walk my own path-one of freedom, danger, and discovery. From treacherous dungeons to hidden villages, I travel a world brimming with secrets and forge bonds with people the so-called heroes ignore. But the world is far more complicated than the legends suggest-and as the dark organization draws closer to its goal, I may learn that even those who run from fate can't outrun the story forever.

Tristan Nighthart never wanted glory. He had Dunmara, a quiet coastal town overlooking the sea. He had Caelen Sunnvale, the friend who had stood beside him since childhood. And most importantly, he had Fiona, the girl he had loved for almost as long as he could remember and had finally married. Then the Porturian Empire drew his name. Torn from the life he had only just begun to build, Tristan is sent across the ocean as part of a massive campaign into the lands Porturia calls the New World. Caelen volunteers to go with him. The pay is good. The stories speak of distant kingdoms, unexplored lands, unimaginable riches, and an entire world beyond the horizon. What could possibly go wrong? But the continent waiting across the sea is far older, and far stranger than either of them imagined. Ancient kingdoms fight beneath unfamiliar banners. Warriors carry names spoken with the weight of legends. Sacred places hide things the Empire dismisses as superstition. And beyond the edges of every map lie stories that perhaps were never stories at all. What begins as a journey across the ocean will test everything Tristan, Caelen, and Fiona believed they knew about war, loyalty, love and home. Because crossing the sea is easy. Finding your way home is another matter entirely.

Twenty-six years after the Moriarty Incident fused Earth with the perilous and beautiful world of Miad'Ava, humanity now survives in a fragile equilibrium. Untold ancient magics go unbound, prehistoric leviathans roam alongside creatures of myth, and cybernetic enhancements are no longer a dream of the future. When an unprecedented mutant raid breaches the border out of the Red Zone through a subterranean tunnel network, the safety of the Coalition is put to the test. Dispatched to eradicate the threat, Colonel Jedon Halak leads his elite squad of Rangers into the hostile, untamed wilderness. Mounted atop lethal deinonychus and equipped with the newest advances in high tech gear, the unit expects a standard tactical operation. But Miad'Ava has other plans for them. Their mission across the fractured territories plunges them into an escalating nightmare of biological horrors and ancient dangers. As the journey takes them deeper into the world, the true threat isn't the monstrosities waiting in the dark. To endure the trek and hold the line, Jedon and his Rangers must rely on trust, before the deep trauma and lingering ghosts from their pasts unravel the unit from within. 8/30/2026 #17 in creatures

Entering the jianghu as a prodigy, Lu Qingheng swiftly ascended the ranks of his sect, his stubborn wit winning the trust of those around him. At a young age, he became its master, carrying a great title and the burdens and responsibilities that came with it. When Qingheng fell in battle, it was a wandering swordsman who pulled him from death's grasp. Yet, the man vanished without a trace.

Now, with tensions in the jianghu rising, his search becomes tangled in politics, death, and secrets hidden behind a moonlit veil. In need of an ally, he reaches out to a sect long secluded from the affairs of the jianghu. But the closer he comes to finding the man he has spent years searching for, the more he wonders whether some encounters are truly meant to be forgotten.

SEVEN CHECKPOINTS. ONE WINNER. $500,000. DONT ENTER IF YOU'LL NEED TO BE RESCUED. The invitation spreads through Los Angeles's private thrill-seeking circles like a dare no one can trace. For a half-million dollars, contestants must survive seven illegal challenges hidden across the city-rooftop crossings, high-speed pursuits, restricted parties, sabotaged machinery, and buildings designed to trap anyone who makes the wrong decision. I enter because fear has never been a good enough reason for me to stay on the ground. I've climbed towers, bridges, cranes, and the exposed skeletons of unfinished and forgotten buildings. I know how to reach places nobody thinks to secure, and I'm willing to go farther than most would consider sane. That makes me exactly what they're looking for. But the checkpoints aren't deciding who deserves the prize. They're testing us for something else. Climber. Driver. Observer. Social engineer. Mechanic. Saboteur. Coordinator. Seven specialties. One carefully assembled crew. By the time we uncover the truth, we've already surveyed the exits, studied the employees, tested the security systems, and mapped the escape routes of the Aurelia-one of the most exclusive hotels overlooking Downtown LA. During a private three-night event, its vault will hold millions in stolen artwork, unregistered diamonds, bearer bonds, cash, and secrets belonging to people powerful enough to bury anyone who touches them. The competition was never the job. It was the audition. And refusing now won't save us. Every challenge was recorded. Every piece of evidence has been arranged to make it look as though we planned the heist ourselves. Someone among the seven of us created the checkpoints. Someone has been controlling us from inside the competition. And whoever they are, they didn't choose me because I follow plans. They chose me because when there's no safe way in, I make one. And everyone here has a quality they needed to peruse what they couldn't do alone.

She was my concrete flower, resilient and beautiful and strong. She broke through barriers and heights close to impossible. She enamoured those who came across her. It seemed there was a quiet hush of reverence that followed her, it made strangers turn their heads and linger a moment longer than they should. She seemed less like a woman and more like a memory the world had yet to release.

After five years of being on pins and needles, fighting crime like robots, the Titans are no longer teens. Entering their early-twenties, existentialism is bound to do a number on all of them, but what happens when someone finally puts their foot down and says enough is enough? That's where Nightwing comes into the picture. After dedicating so much of his life to being a superhero, he's had enough. He wants to live a normal life; experience things that make him feel alive instead of living life on autopilot, working himself to the bone. Though he's the leader of the team, confrontation isn't Nightwing's strongest suit. He needs a little shoulder to lean on. Or rather a muscley, orange one that belongs to a tall, bubbly, Tamaranean girl with a head full of curly, raspberry-colored locks. With someone as welcoming as Starfire being Nightwing's cheerleader on his journey of stepping away from "superhero-hood", will he finally be able to scratch his itch? Or will he come to realize that there's an itch coming from his heart rather than his mind? Dive into this fluffy Robstar fanfic to find out more~ I promise to buckle you up on a story oozing with romance every second possible :) Yours truly, Yosh <3

They battle to save young Thomas from the sinister Alfhiem organization and its underhanded leader, Tyrin. Will Jessica regain her power, and Kyle gain the power he needs to guard what he loves? ... ... If not things could become... unpleasant.
