Ross Avian is a 22nd century man. Thing is, it's 3280, the United Human Union now spans multiple galaxies, and a shadowy ex-military organization is trying to start a war that could bring a virtual empire to its knees. And as an agent of the secretive Pendulum Agency, it's Ross's job to stop that from happening. And he'd happily do it, too...if only people would stop shooting at him with really, really big guns.

Single Father's Guide to Monster Hunting
"Daddy, please don't turn off the lights. The monsters will find me." Ana pleaded as she pulled the covers up to her nose. "Don't worry, Ana. There's no such thing as monsters." Frank answered before flexing dramatically, earning a giggle from her, "Besides, if they tried to hurt you, I'd just beat 'em up!" "Promise?" "Promise." He kissed her forehead before he tucked her in and turned off the light. "Goodnight, angel." --- The world changed overnight. A mysterious system appeared in everyone's minds announcing the detection of a "Breach." Monsters unlike anything humanity had ever seen before began to emerge, immediately ending one-third of the world's population. And that was just in the beginning. Every father wants to be their daughter's hero. It's an unspoken rule written into every man's DNA. But most fathers aren't pitted up against eight legged abominations. Frank was just an ordinary man; no training, no experience, just depression and a four year old. Yet, he was all that stood between Ana and certain death. If that's the way it was, then he couldn't back down. He made a promise, and he would keep it or die trying. Luckily, the world wasn't entirely merciless. This "System" granted humanity a fighting chance: otherworldly gifts and powers that defied the laws of nature. While Frank's gift wasn't all sunshine and rainbows, it did give him power. Power enough to hopefully keep his daughter safe, and punish the monsters that dared threaten her in the first place!
Beyond The Starscape
In a world where technology has reached unimaginable levels, humanity fights an endless war against an extraterrestrial alliance known as the Anti-Humans. This conflict, though devastating, has driven unprecedented scientific advancements, allowing humans to modify their DNA and create a new race of superhumans. These individuals possess superior physical and mental abilities, unlocking their true potential by mastering elemental techniques of water, fire, wind, nature, and light. These abilities are not innate; they must be learned and perfected through rigorous training combined with advanced technology. However, Ryotaro was born different. His body does not respond to the evolutionary process, leaving him unable to master even the most basic elemental techniques. Rejected by a society that idolizes perfection, he struggles to find his purpose as the galactic conflict reaches a critical point. Amid this battle, Ryotaro will discover a completely new and unprecedented way to achieve his potential-a unique path that will challenge everything known about superhumans and mark the beginning of a change that could define humanity's fate.Complete

Build A Scientific And Technological Civilization ( Book 1 )
In a universe where every person awakens a Planet as the foundation of their power, the strength of one's civilization determines their might. From martial worlds where warriors reign, to mystic realms teeming with magic, to ethereal domains of immortal cultivators, every awakened Planet becomes a reflection of its creator's path. But Alexander Sebastian is different. Reborn with memories from a modern, Earth-like world, he forges something never seen before: a Technological Civilization. While others summon Qi, Mana, or Spiritual Power, Sebastian builds factories, launches satellites, and commands fleets of starships. With logic as his weapon and science as his foundation, Sebastian begins to shake the very foundations of this Supernatural cosmos. When a Star Destroyer punches through planets and dimensional weapons turn worlds into nothing more than paper, even the proudest civilizations must bow before the cold, unrelenting force of progress. Witness a tale where science defies fantasy, and technology becomes the ultimate path to dominance. _____ This is a translation.
