THE FIRST BOOK OF THE FLAMES OF HISTORY
As Merilla Lansier, heiress to Fené's ruling house, is thrust from her home in the country's borderlands, her people are plunged into war and revolt. Across the Eastern Woodways, the rising Empire of Rethgard gathers strength.
When Sir Marcus is summoned to the westerly capital of Lariane he finds that the price of true justice is life itself. Thrown from the familiar open air of the wild east into the cities of the west, the knight finds himself drowning in a sea of treachery.
Even lowly sellswords, clerics, and vagrants find themselves swept up in a tumultuous sea of chaos and deception where the only way to survive is to value yourself above your morals.

After his reincarnation into a world that blends reality with video game elements, Alex, a former recluse, uncovers a troubling aspect of his new world: slavery is permitted. Despite his ethical reservations, he is enthralled by the chance to finally end his years of quiet, lonely suffering when he meets the beautiful and powerful slave girl named Yua. And it just so happens that she's up for sale. Giving into temptation, Alex spends nearly all the gold he has to his name to acquire her, he realizes just how disastrous his hasty decision truly was, and not merely due to his own troubled conscience. Now, Alex is compelled to exhaust himself fighting in the dungeons beneath the Great City of Amoranth to earn more gold and to secure Yua's safety, as her former master has threatened her life (and Alex's) should he fail to repay the debt he incurred from her purchase. Trying to do right by her, even while dealing with her unending sass, he struggles to maintain what he now holds very dear. At the same time, Yua grapples with her perception of Alex, wondering if he embodies the same type of brutal and unforgiving master she always feared would one day claim her, even though deep down, she suspects she already knows the answer. https://twitter.com/LethalBacon115 patreon.com/LethalBacon
