The Phoenix Saga (Reignited Edition) Part I: Phoenix Ignited

You ignite, and you RISE! A pair of curses have conspired to leave 17-year-old Ranma trapped in a feminine body she never asked for, and too physically sensitive to take a hit. Both are big problems for a martial arts master who used to be an arrogant boy. With no way back to the life she knew, she flees the home of her abusive father and leaves her fiancée behind in search of a life she can call her own. But, life on the streets of 1989 Tokyo isn't easy. After months alone and barely surviving, she stumbles hungry and broken into the Phoenix, a dive bar run by a hard-edged but kindly woman and the four hard-luck girls she took in out of the cold. Make that five. Ranma's new lease on life, as Ranko, gives her the chance to work through her trauma and experience the first unconditional love she's ever known. Empowered by the support of her new family, the partner she never expected to see again, and a newfound passion for music, Ranko begins to embrace her new identity as a young woman and rises from the ashes of the person she used to be.

Bugged Player: Leveling Up In Realms Meant For My Death

He was a mere cleaner in the midst of world heroes. Nothing more. Burdened with responsibility far beyond his age, Yuin scraped by through multiple jobs. One of which was cleaning after the esteemed heroes and serving as their emotional outlet. Until a sudden malfunction in the hero system opened a new path. A dangerous one. On the day the heroes began their patriotic mission, Yuin was forcibly selected. Not to be a hero, but as one of the hundreds meant to be slaughtered as a display of power by the celestials who imposed the hero system upon the world. They are undefeated, even by the heroes. But Yuin, a mere cleaner, labeled potentialless, seized that dangerous path. And did what no one else could. He killed a celestial. Not one. Two. As an unregistered existence within the system—an error—Yuin became a loophole capable of ending beings beyond the world itself. Yet to those in power, he remains nothing more than a cleaner. He is ignored and overlooked, unaware that he is the very key to defeating the beings they fear most. Now dragged into deadly survival rounds alongside thousands, Yuin fights in places he was meant to die. And there, he climbs the ranks. Like every other, Yuin is granted the privilege to summon players. But unlike the rest, he does not follow the norm. While others summon power, he summons the exceptional. They summon attack players—he summons an alchemist who defies the limits of the world. They summon defenders—he summons a broker, a cunning figure who bends the system’s forbidden laws and deals in what even the system itself does not offer. He is an error. And errors… cannot be controlled.

Healer's Touch (Deadly Touch book 1)

Llew’s father disappeared when she was eleven, leaving her orphaned, as far as she knew. Since then, Llew has learned to survive the streets of the gold-mining town of Cheer – full of opportunistic men and desperation. It’s a hard existence made tougher when Llew's so-called friend accuses her of murder, sending her to the gallows. Llew’s Aenuk ability to absorb life means she doesn’t stay dead for long, but she does leave a trail of death behind her. Escaping the hangman’s noose sees Llew fall into the hands of Jonas: the man with the knife and the Karan power to kill Llew’s kind. If Llew can nurture the attraction he develops for her, maybe she can keep that knife from her heart. But lurking in the shadows is Jonas’s half-brother, Braph: the man who has learned to combine Aenuk and Karan powers into infinite and addictive magical potential. Healer's Touch is a fantasy novel flavoured with a wild west setting, steampunk-like technology, enough romance to draw you in, horror to keep you hooked, and just enough sex to keep things spicy. The Deadly Touch Series: Healer's Touch Warrior's Touch Magician's Touch *May count as Romantasy, but the spice is pretty middling. Goes into dark themes, including torture & rape, but never between the main couple. The first chapters are brutal, but I had to start Llew off somewhere …

To make matters worse, they just accidentally let four Japanese monsters- also known as Yokai- loose in Hazel's city.

The Protagonist’s Sister Is Actually The Strongest

Have you ever read a novel with such a terrible ending that you wished you could rewrite the story and give the characters you loved the happy ending they truly deserved? I was just another failed author, writing stories that nobody read and that never sold. Seeking to improve my craft, I picked up the most popular novel of the time, “Solo Player”, hoping to learn what made it so successful. Yet as I read, frustration grew inside me. The story’s development was promising, but its ending was truly awful. Then, quite bitterly, the moment I finished the book, I found myself transmigrated into its world. Did I become the protagonist? A villain? Or perhaps even an extra? No. It was far worse than I could have imagined. I had become the most worthless character in the entire novel, someone nobody ever cared about. A character readers saw only as fuel for the protagonist’s growth, his greatest burden, and the person every reader hated. “I’m the protagonist’s sister…” However, with my complete knowledge of the novel’s events, my worthlessness was about to change. I had decided not only to become the strongest but also to rewrite the story’s terrible ending. “I won’t let you go inside a dungeon. It’s too dangerous.” …As long as I could get this incredibly corny and overprotective brother out of my way. And for some reason, the Constellations would not stop bothering me. [The Cosmic Throne {Butterfly That Flies Across The Universe} seems interested in your tenacity!] [She has sponsored 1,000,000 Plot Points and the [Demon of Calamity Transformation Technique (SS)] Skill!] [The Cosmic Throne {Monkey that Dances in Chaos} finds your chaotic nature amusing!] [He has thrown the [Umbral Chaos Stone Necklace (S Rank)] at you!] [Not enough? He launched the [Immortal Heaven Peach (SSS Rank)] right at your face!] There was clearly something wrong with the Constellations this time. [The Cosmic Throne {Jester Filled With Lies} is happy that you’re bringing despair to your victims!] [He has gifted you the [Jester’s Last Laugh (S Rank Privilege)] and the [Master of Manipulation (SS)] Skill!] [The Cosmic Throne {Maiden that Watches Over Nature} seems happy you’re growing stronger.] [She has gracefully sponsored you with 2,000,000 Plot Points and fully healed all your wounds!] [She has also begun to wonder if you could plant some trees for her and gifted you the [Divine World Tree Seedling (SSS Rank)]!] [The Cosmic Throne {Warrior That Seeks Calamity} is satisfied with your battle performance but demands more!] [He has sponsored you with 500,000 Plot Points and the [Beheading Sword of Destruction (SSS Rank)]!] They simply could not stop showering me with gifts, as if I were some famous streamer performing for their entertainment. “I am grateful, but please… just leave me alone already…”
