Welcome to the gladiocracy: a futuristic society where the strongest warriors rule as celebrity kings and tyrants. To those at the top goes prestige, power, and absolute rule. But teenage gunslinger Emilia Mori was born at the bottom.

Dealt the life of a street rat in neon-soaked hell, Mori swore to do whatever necessary to survive. By eighteen, she's thriving on the reputation of a daredevil, wrangled the apprenticeship of master gunslinger Sarah Morninghawk, and taking any job her undercity home throws her way- the riskier, the better. The only things holding her back are Sarah's heart of gold and dreams of finally uniting the Vents, the exploited and crime-ridden underbelly of their futuristic metropolis. Yet she's not the only one with eyes on the underworld.

Hoping to conquer the undercity for their own aims, the foreign crime syndicate Dynasty has no intention of letting the Vents organize itself in a quest for liberation. The syndicate quickly envelops the undercity's eight gang lords in an all-out war of succession. And Mori, caught right in the center of the conflict, finds herself swept up in the tide of criminal politics and tribal gangster warfare...

The Arena Saga: Bronze Tier by InsanelyCorrupted

The High Tower infected Earth's population and only those strong enough to survive the conversion from human to nano-human sapiens were allowed to continue living on the ground level as Bottom Feeders. Over half the world's population fell to the new world order. Zaphrina is a Nomad Healer in the Golden Arena. Not having the restrictions of a guild has its perks and pays better. Surviving alone in a world where everyone is trying to live forever is easier with the laws of Guilds and Zaph has survived since humanity fell to the High Tower over two centuries ago without joining the halls. The rules of the Bottom Feeders are easy. You either survive by taking refuge in the Guild Halls or you level up enough to be able to survive the conditions of floor levels. Zaph has it easy for the most part. Her older brother Max has been looking out for her since their conversion. Their parents didn't survive the change. Max is one of the newest but deadliest Guild Masters in the Arenas and often contracts Zaph to help in battles. He's begged her for years to join his guild, but she's never wanted to be part of them. She likes her peace and prefers to be alone than surrounded by those who would see her dead if the opportunity arose. Zaph's peace comes to an end when her brother reveals that former members of his guild had fallen victim to the recent murders in NeoGlover City and their son was left orphaned. Cody, the eleven-year-old second-generation nano-humanoid child, stands to inherit a vast territory that could make any guild the most powerful in the NeoGlover sector. Friends turn foes when the guilds find out that this kid has one of the most valuable accounts she's ever seen. To save Cody, Zaph is forced to solve the twelve recent murders in the city that will grant her an audience with the High Tower council who will remove the territories and return them to the city in exchange for Cody's adult-level updates.

Ruins Of Etaran - The Etaran Saga BOOK 1 by MysticMermaidWrites

The realm of Etaran was once a beautiful place. A realm once filled with life and gifts of magic, destroyed by a supernatural earthquake and magic plague called The Blight. Thus, separating the continent into two divisions: The rich and prosperous Eloran and the wastelands of Noctori, split into the five factions: Steel City, Odonis, Calodon, Windibane, and the Underearth. From that leads us to a tale of two sisters: The quiet, dangerous, cold blooded assassin Hadria Lantis, and her older sister, the noble, intelligent, and kind hearted Captain Kiara Lantis. They hail from Odonis, where their parents were killed by the ruthless Shadowhawks, the governmental and crime/Justice system of Etaran, when Hadria was only 8 and Kiara was only 10. Kiara chose to be noble, and became a fighter and noble warrior, leading to her becoming the Captain of the domain of Steel City to protect others from a bad fate. While Hadria chose to become a ruthless cold blooded killer, to stop those dangerous people and prevent anyone from suffering the same fate before it happens. Will their different paths cause a rift in their relationship? Definitely. But will anything prepare them for the approaching dangers of this land? Definitely not. Along with them, there's a few other faces that may cause a lot of trouble for everyone involved. A young Mayor who's a bit anxious and a hopeless romantic, a rude and stuck up Shadowhawk Guard, and a snoody and entitled CEO of a brilliant tech company who has big plans for Hadria. The crossroads of destiny intertwine, both for better and for worse. Synopsis: A stubborn assassin and her optimistic sister try to dodge the clutches of a sinister CEO trying to start a cyborg army, all while trying to repair their broken relationship.

When we return this Citadel to its warring state.....it shall emerge all the stronger for it. In the name of the Mainframe." -Imperator Barrows The enigmatic girl known only as Moody comes from an unstable past.

But as the Rusted Citadel struggles to escape the shadow of the Iron Kingpin's despotic rule and embrace its brighter future, a new threat has emerged. A movement called the Shattered Circle works to reignite the conflict, with the goal of making money off of both sides for their own gains. With methods such as blackmailing, weapon trading, and information bargaining, they seek to return the Rusted Citadel to ruin and flee with the spoils. Moody has been tasked by King Ryker with investigating and taking down the Shattered Circle, and only time will tell if she succeeds.....or if the Rusted Citadel's dreams of freedom and liberty were always meant to be a fantasy from the start. • Cover designed by @Castiment

Hacking the Game Didn't Go as Intended by VaughnSchneider

What would you do if you found yourself trapped in a video game as an NPC with seemingly no hope of returning to the real world? Having grown up without parents, Daisuke finds himself in a perpetual cycle of poverty as he tries to survive in the bottom rung of society. When the world's first VRMMORPG, Sehreneti Online, is released to the public, he decides to take a gamble by borrowing a buttload of money from some shady people to propel his hack-selling side hustle into the big leagues. After nearly getting his leg twisted into a pretzel for failing to pay off his loan on time, Daisuke decides to put his plan, Operation Jupiter, into action. Although a cool-sounding name, he didn't seem to be in Lady Luck's good graces that day. After uploading the code into his capsule and commencing the startup, everything goes haywire, booting his consciousness into the virtual world. When Daisuke comes to, he finds himself as a newborn fresh out the meat oven-and, of course, his circumstances are far from ideal. Apparently, he is still poor, but instead of being an orphan, he is now the son of a prostitute in the slums, with seemingly no connection to the game system or the real world. How will Daisuke overcome this trial, and will he be able to return to the real world? If you enjoy GameLit and LitRPG light novels such as Sword Art Online, Solo Leveling, The Rising of the Shield Hero, and That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, then you'll definitely enjoy this epic tale!

An age gap love story. A brokenhearted billionaire. A college girl. ***** "Nevaeh," Aiden whispers, "can I rest my head on your shoulder?" I nod, letting him rest his head on my shoulder. He closes his eyes. "Thank you." He sighs in contentment. "Heaven." "Heaven?" "It's your name spelled backward, isn't it?" ***** The moment I first saw Aiden Klein, the first thing that came up in my head was how perfect he was. A good hard working man who loves his family more than anything else, Aiden Klein has been the subject of the desire of many women. His wealth and success as one of the most influential leaders in the business world are nothing compared to his golden heart. The world keeps asking the same questions over and over again, "How would he love his woman?" The sad thing is, we will never know. Because his heart has been frozen. Eyes are blind for any woman. Touch is forbidden for their skin. Aiden Klein cannot love a woman. Yet, I know that it's far from the truth. Aiden Klein can love a woman so fiercely, his love would break you. Because I've seen it once, accidentally. He's the broken hero. And I'm the villain in this story. © Anya Jayvyn. All Rights Reserved.
