Are on-screen AI characters real people? Are chatbots in robot bodies alive? Broke electronics engineer Bert Bertram has no time to ask. He's too busy keeping the peace between them. __________________________________________________________________________________ Cade appeared on the monitor in a brown pinstripe suit. "Your robot called me lizard breath again," he said, rubbing his green snout. "Did not," Felix said, carrying a desk that weighed as much as he did. "I told him his breath smelled like roadkill." __________________________________________________________________________________ Welcome to Gold Henry, Maine - six streets, one embarrassingly small mountain, and a population best described as... treatment needed. When Bert nearly burns down his barn and gets a call about a stolen body on the same morning, he should have hung up. Damn it. Why didn't I hang up? Instead, the military, corporate mercenaries, and every federal agency with an acronym descend on his broken-down barn - and Bert has to find a single path that keeps Cade, Felix, and his dementia-riddled mother all in one piece. SUBJECT IDENTIFIED: FEDERAL FUGITIVE BERT BERTRAM, LIKELY INVOLVED IN THEFT OF HIGHLY CLASSIFIED ANDROID. So that doesn't work out. Things spiral from there.

What can a soul that seeks only comfort and peace find in a world of Heroes and Demons? Perhaps the path of Alchemy is the only safe road. If only fate were willing to allow it. Can a peasant find peace within the greatest university on the continent? Can a single man humble powerful mages and great swordsmen with economics, politics, and wit alone? Can he uncover the mysteries of the world while sharing his body with another soul? Can the two of them reach the end of their story? ... Perhaps one should ask the Alchemist of Room 324 for those answers.

For this cyborg, power is just an upgrade away. Emmett was used to being caught between college and his engineering internship, but when he gets caught between a powerful hero and an even stronger villain, he becomes collateral damage. Instead of dying, he wakes up a cyborg. Turns out his boss wasn't just an eccentric inventor, and the old man just gave him a shining opportunity to be a hero. Except that's just the beginning, and things are about to get a lot more complicated. His boss has his own agenda. The boss's daughter has her own power armor. His roommate works for an evil corporation. And Emmett is small fry. Just a Class 1 hero. Superheroes aren't just masks-some work for corporations, or for the government and the military, and even as mercenaries in wars. Shadowy cabals pull the strings of hero and villain alike. The city of Belport might be peaceful for now, but most of the world is in turmoil. If Emmett is going to have any chance at making a difference, he needs to get stronger. A lot stronger. How much of his humanity will he hold onto and how much will he trade away? If you're a fan of Cyborg, Winter Soldier, Iron Man, or Batman Beyond, then you don't want to miss this series!

In a world divided by fire and philosophy, two civilisations have mastered the art of cooking - but never spoken the same language. In the East, Food Adepts cultivate inner energy through knife, flame, and breath. A perfectly sliced cut can heal a wound. A broth simmered for three days can break a man's curse. In the West, Culinamancers weave culinary magic through ritual, emotion, and forbidden ingredients. One wrong pinch of spice can collapse an empire. They have coexisted in silence. Until a young chef from the Eastern borderlands stumbles into a Western culinary tournament - and wins using techniques nobody in the West has ever seen. Now both worlds want him. Some to learn from him. Some to destroy him. Every dish is a battle. Every flame tells a story. Every bite changes the world. - Ocean Fung

Thirty-five years old. Unmarried. Living inside an endless from-to - the same commute, the same desk, the same walls. A man named Aizawa. An illness with no name eating away at him. A mysterious girl appearing in his dreams every night. And one day, without warning - the end. But it wasn't really the end. His soul was torn apart. When he opened his eyes, he was somewhere else entirely - in the body of a seven-year-old child, in a world he didn't recognise. A world of politics, conspiracy, and ancient myth. The man who once had nothing slowly discovers, for the first time, something worth protecting. No cheat skills. No invincibility. Only one thing remains - an unbreakable soul.

I thought deleting my demon would cure my lifelong anxiety. Instead, it made everything worse. At Salena Saliva's Therapy Center in Strange Way Park, I became the first person in history to have my demon downloaded and separated from my mind. I expected peace. Silence. A normal life for once. Instead, I was forced into a bizarre therapeutic journey through 563 surreal neighborhoods, each one stranger, more dangerous, and more humiliating than the last. Millions watch on television as I stumble through twisted games, impossible challenges, and confrontations with everything I'd rather avoid. And my demon isn't gone. He walks beside me now-taunting me, advising me, and sabotaging me at every opportunity. The only person who seems able to help is Salena, the therapist leading me through this nightmare. But every time I get close to understanding her-or myself-she slips away. Then a catastrophic flood tears us apart. To find her, I must descend deeper into Strange Way Park than anyone ever has and face the part of myself I tried to delete. Because the only way out of Strange Way Park is through the one thing I fear most: Love.

Gloria Frost has spent nine years at the bottom. As an F‑Rank awakener overshadowed by her A‑Rank brother, she learned early that the world had no place for someone like her. Tired of the comparisons, she abandoned her village and survived through thievery, stealth, and staying invisible. On her way to the city in search of simple work, a dungeon anomaly opens beneath her feet and drags her underground. With no party, no supplies, and a skill barely worth mentioning, Gloria expects to die in the dark. She fights through the dungeon using wit and stubbornness, until the boss room ends her luck.

As Gloria climbs from the bottom, she'll face dungeons, dangerous awakeners, ordinary humans with extraordinary grudges, and a threat powerful enough to destroy everything-including the brother who once overshadowed her. And somewhere out there, the S‑Rank who dismissed her is about to realize the "trash" he threw away wasn't trash at all.

THE INFINITY IDENTITY Blue Star. A world nearly identical to Earth. In the year 2096, nineteen-year-old university student Kang Min-Jae accidentally activates an ancient system hidden within a forgotten archive. The system calls itself the Infinity Identity. Unlike ordinary systems that grant powers or classes, the Infinity Identity grants entire identities. Every fifteen days, a new identity is generated. Doctor. Lawyer. Detective. CEO. Scientist. Politician. And countless others. Each identity becomes a permanent part of Min-Jae's life. None can be removed. None can be abandoned. None can be forgotten. Before an identity can be safely unlocked, Min-Jae must complete a system task. Success grants the identity in its perfect state. Failure still grants the identity-but with consequences attached. Debts. Scandals. Enemies. Responsibilities. Problems that may take years to resolve. As his collection of identities grows, Min-Jae discovers that countless historical anomalies across Blue Star are connected to a single mysterious name: Authorr01. Ancient facilities. Forgotten records. Impossible technologies. Religions built upon a legend. Governments searching for answers. And traces of a figure known only as User #1. The deeper Min-Jae digs, the more he realizes that the Infinity Identity is far older, far larger, and far more dangerous than anyone imagined. Because inheriting the system was never a reward. It was an inheritance. A burden left behind by a mystery that has shaped the course of history itself. One Life. Infinite Identities. And a mystery older than civilization.
