Enter Zahir, as he prefers to be called.
Fierce. Dangerous. Greedy.
Pay the right price and you've got yourself his merry little band of mercenaries at your disposal, pawn pieces in a game of war.
After returning to Zahir's home township of Alinari from official mercenary work for the Lordala Armies, the group is approached in a tavern by a man with a satchel of money.
He says that Lordala isn't done with them yet.
And he proposes an offer made by the Lordalese dictator herself, Mira Oni. Wreck havoc on Marrowcova and take out a head captain, the dashing, cold-hearted Noel Shriner of Marrowcova.
For this, they'll get citizenship in Lordala and all the money they could imagine. And to Zahir, this offer is the key to a life he left behind.
Jumping head first into an offer he knows morally is wrong, Zahir and his friends go through with the offer. But when the time comes, will this all be as easy as Zahir thought?

God Complex - Vol. 1
The major kingdom of the East called Huaza has fallen, but not the way most people think. Its emperor has gone insane and ordered massacres of his own people. The already high tensions between the West and East have risen from Huaza's fall and caused the West to lose respect for the East. Jun Li has survived the fall and decided to start his life anew in the Mang Kingdom down South. As a male prostitute. After a year he meets a peculiar client who tells him about a bounty in the Western cosmopolitan city of Perenykisk. Fueled by the dreams of having endless amounts of clients to become wealthy, Jun immediately leaves for the West. But a greed and lust fueled dream comes crashing down as he gets tangled up in the life of a notorious mercenary and bounty hunter. Forcing Jun to face what he tried so hard to run from. --- This is my submission for the Wattys 2021 and ends in the middle of The Avarice Patriarch Arc.

Indeed, they stay there in the Devlok for some time but when they're done enjoying the fruit of their good deeds, they go back to the Prithvilok.' He paused, 'It's birth and death over and over again.' ; Join Anamika and Keval as they venture into the depths of war and death- from normal beings of the earth to the strongest of the two warring realms.

She knows the rules perfectly well and has now been saddled with the woman's debt, which the Hounds of Hell have been sent to collect.

Wattys shortlist 2021 "I'm already loving this story" - _singforjoy_ "You are going to get me what I want," Isla said, calmly. "Or I will kill you." The words hung in the air between them. Raif looked unconcerned. "Is that so?" he said. Born to the captain of a pirate ship, Isla has spent her whole life at sea. Raised among sailors, her father has trained her to fight, command a crew, and, most importantly, the secrets of the ocean currents. When her father is killed in a storm, she is forced to step into his role as captain. Not only does she have to provide for the men on her ship, but she also inherits her father's outstanding debt to Lord Sutherland: the task of stealing the rare Serpent's Eye emerald. After months of failure to locate the emerald, Isla is forced to take extreme measures: she kidnaps Duke Raif Sayers, who knows of the emerald's location. But Raif proves to be more strong willed and stubborn than Isla expected. Matters become even more complicated when Raif's father offers a large reward for his son's rescue and suddenly every cutthroat is looking for Raif and the pirate who kidnapped him. As Isla and her crew are pushed to their limits and race against their deadline, Isla has to face that the one decision she thought would save her crew could be the very thing that destroys them.
