Edwin Lunar

Living on the outskirts of the futuristic city of Vestella, Edwin survives by repairing broken machines and forgotten technology while carrying the pain of losing his parents at a young age. The only things left behind by them are a mysterious silver ring and an old scarf — relics from a past Edwin barely remembers. But everything changes when a hidden organization discovers him. Taken to the legendary moon-world of Noroel, Edwin enters the secretive Lunar Dominion Academy, a massive fortress where gifted children are trained to become elite warriors capable of controlling the power of the Eternal Flame — an ancient energy source that powers entire civilizations. As Edwin struggles to adapt to the dangerous academy life, he forms unexpected friendships with the intelligent Iris and the loyal Carl while facing powerful rivals, brutal training, and mysteries buried deep beneath the academy walls. Yet strange things begin happening around him. Systems malfunction in his presence. Ancient machines react to his father’s ring. And voices hidden inside forbidden networks begin calling his name. Soon Edwin uncovers the terrifying truth about Groader — a former academy prodigy whose obsession with the Eternal Flame nearly destroyed Noroel years ago. Though officially dead, rumors claim Groader’s consciousness still survives somewhere within hidden systems beneath the academy. When a sealed underground sector known as Sector Zero suddenly awakens after twelve years of silence, Edwin realizes his connection to Noroel runs far deeper than anyone imagined. And the truth about his parents’ deaths may change the future of the entire system forever.

Work From Home Sect

Several years later, he finally obtained what every transmigrator dreamed of. A system. [Ding! Welcome to the Sect Master System!] [Beginner Pack Reward Issued.] His eyes lit up. What was it? A divine cultivation technique? An ancient bloodline? A heaven-defying treasure? Instead, a familiar rectangular object appeared in his hands. "A... smartphone?" He stared at it in confusion.

THE FIRST CRADLE - BOOK ONE OF THE IRON CRADLE SAGA

The Sun is dying, and there's no saving this world. Engineering grad student Gavin Daniels volunteers for experimental brain emulation technology--humanity's last chance to gain centuries of research time while only days pass on Earth. But the untested cradle connects him to something ancient: a galaxy-spanning competition called the Ascendancy, where Earth's survival is the prize. The rules are brutal. Earth is unrecognized, unprotected, and legally open for conquest. Win, and the planet gains galactic protection. Every victory captures alien technology to fuel humanity's desperate evacuation. Lose, and everything is forfeit. In a genre built on solo heroes grinding for power, Gavin and Earth's champions choose a different path: reincarnating the souls of Earth's dead as spirit-born warriors, building armies instead of going it alone, forging alliances with alien species, and refusing to treat war as a game. But those overseeing the Ascendancy aren't safeguarding peace--they're filtering threats. Culling potential rivals before they can rise. Can Earth's champions survive alien dinosaurs, and a universe that seems to want to crush them? Our only allies, a race that died on Earth before humanity ever took its first steps... Step into the cradle, champion, and find out. THE FIRST CRADLE - THE SECOND CRADLE - A LITRPG ADVENTURE

Warm My Bed, Brother-in-law

“Spread your legs for me until your husband wakes up.” I barely have time to breathe before I’m pressed against the office door. His fist tightens in my hair, and his other hand hikes my skirt up without hesitation, like this was always going to happen. His lips hover at my ear, his voice quiet and deadly. “Six months, Elena,” Damian murmurs, knuckles brushing the inside of my thigh. “For six months, my brother will get your name, and I get your body. Fair, isn’t it?” I should push him away. I should scream until someone hears me. I should be thinking about my husband lying in a hospital bed, machines breathing for him. Instead, my fingers clutch my husband’s brother’s shirt, and I hate that my body responds before my mouth can find the word no. Because in a world built on blood and betrayal, the only man who’s ever looked at me like I was more than a decoration is my husband’s much younger brother. I’m Elena Vitale, 38, wife of a powerful mafia boss now clinging to life in a coma and somehow, I'm the one left holding an empire I never wanted. And the only person ruthless enough to help me hold it together is Damian Vitale. At 26, he’s the black sheep of the family… an exiled hacker who built his own ruthless syndicate from nothing but resentment, genius, and an obsession with me that began when he was nineteen. Our deal is brutally simple. He’ll protect my husband’s empire. He’ll hunt the traitor who put a bullet in his brother’s chest. And in exchange, I’ll give the devil everything he’s craved for years. My body. My surrender. My soul… until the day my husband opens his eyes.

The Librarian Who Accidentally Raised the Seven Calamities

The Librarian Who Accidentally Raised the Seven Calamities In a world where talent is everything, Cael von Reinhart was born a void. No mana, no potential, and most disturbingly—no voice.

To the System, he is the only Librarian capable of recording the end of existence. His task? To find and raise seven broken children who are destined to become the villains that destroy the world. "I don’t want to be a hero, and I certainly don't want to be a god," Cael thought, his face a mask of cold indifference. "I just wanted to read in peace."
