Ethan Blake, an expert at fixing what everyone else throws away. Scrap metal, dead computers, exploded drones… unfortunately, he can’t fix his own self-esteem. Quiet, hardworking, and stuck in a monotonous, depressing routine after failing to pay for college because of money issues. His life takes a turn the day he discovers the S.E.X. System — Seduction, Expansion, eXecution. An intergalactic system that turns desire into power, and female conquests into vital energy capable of saving humanity from a cosmic threat. His mission: Seduce women.

Eren Kai was meant to die quietly. Labeled a traitor overnight, abandoned by the woman he loved, hunted by the woman he had trusted, and formally sentenced to death, he was delivered to his execution. As the blade fell, an ancient power answered— devouring sin. To resurrect the woman he loved. To tear down those who condemned him. He must willingly descend into the abyss prepared in his name. He is pulled into a hidden war where calamities wear human skin, ancient demons masquerade as gods, and entire bloodlines are erased to preserve a fragile balance. Each enemy he devours makes him stronger. Each sin consumed strips away something human. In a world that feeds on guilt and blood, the man who devours sin may not rise as a hero— but as the final judgment.

When streamer Lee Jihan logged into his favorite VRMMO for one last session, he never expected to wake up as Kyle Henderson—a death row inmate with exactly six months until execution.

"Heroes get statues. Survivors get to pull the fucking trigger." Ten years ago, Kaelen ‘Kael’ Cross was the Phantom Vanguard, the deadliest sniper on Earth who held the frontline during the Dimensional Merge. He didn't die a hero's death. Instead, his best friend and Guildmaster, Marcus Thorne, crippled his mana core, branded him a traitor, and kicked him into the Abyssal Rift, a subterranean hellscape where humanity dumps its worst nightmares. For a decade, Kael crawled through the dark, surviving on mutated flesh, pure hatred, and the muscle memory of a god. [Ding! The Interstellar Overseer Network has detected Anomaly-Class Malice.] [Would you like to broadcast your execution of this planet to the Cosmos?] Stripped of his magic, Kael accepts the contract. Armed with a rusted, scavenged heavy-crossbow, he steps into the spotlight of a trillion alien eyes. To Earth, he is a dead man. To the cosmic deities, bored dragon emperors, and abyssal monarchs, he is the greatest fucking show in the universe. Watch closely. He only needs one shot.

Worldwide criminals were sentenced to something far worse than death: banishment to a world alien a world governed by anarchy, governed by force, and watched by something far beyond human understanding. Soren Arata, an unknown boy with no name but "Zero," opens his eyes in this brutal world with only a nickname, a strange tattoo on his palm, and the weight of a punishment he has no clue about. No memory. No friends. No choice. This is not a video game. There are no respawns. And the goal is not to escape to live is.

My mother. Killed for protecting me against this cruel world. I have nothing left. Nothing to my name. That was until the Gunslinger came. He gave me something. War. And a Suit that enhances me for the trials to come… I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com

As the illegitimate daughter of a powerful noble, she was nothing more than a footnote in the grand tale of her esteemed brother, Leor—the cold and brooding heir destined for greatness. The problem?

Now, she’s an unpredictable wildcard, impossible to remove without causing a scandal. Her brother is exasperated. The aristocracy is intrigued. With a sharp tongue, a strategic mind, and an unwavering refusal to die, Lilic is determined to live her best life—whether the plot agrees with her or not.

"They buried me alive. I clawed my way out. Now I'm coming for their crowns." Princess Cassia Valordane was twenty when her brother orchestrated her execution. Framed for treason, stripped of her title, and erased from history, she was buried alive in the Crimson Catacombs, the empire's graveyard for traitors. She should have died in that coffin, scratching at wood until her fingers bled. Instead, the Shadowhand criminal syndicate rescued her with one condition: become their weapon against the crown. Five years later, she returns as Sera Ashwood, a mysterious noblewoman with midnight hair, impeccable manners, and a merchant empire. No one recognizes the princess they buried. Her mission: infiltrate the court, expose her brother's corruption, and reclaim her stolen throne. But she didn't plan on Duke Kaelen Nightraven, the Emperor's advisor who sentenced her to death, and the only person who seems to see through her disguise. He's brilliant, ruthless, and bound by duty. He believes she was guilty. He believes her death was necessary. Yet he's fascinated by Lady Sera, drawn to her fire and intelligence. As they're forced together, cracks appear in both their armor. Cassia discovers Kaelen carries guilt from that day, questions he's never been allowed to ask. And when he begins investigating inconsistencies in the old trial, their impossible connection deepens. The truth shatters everything: the coup Cassia was accused of plotting actually happened—orchestrated by her cousin to eliminate the one person who would have stopped it. And they're planning to finish what they started. Cassia must choose between revenge and redemption, between the princess who died and the woman she became. The man who sentenced her to death might be the only one who can help her save the empire. She survived her execution. But surviving the truth might destroy her.

Yunyun is reincarnated into a post-apocalyptic novel with a powerful female protagonist. Unfortunately, she isn’t the heroine. She’s just a minor cannon fodder character… destined to die early. But after awakening memories of the novel, Yunyun accidentally reveals the future through her thoughts— [Mommy, boohoo… your scumbag husband has been cheating on you for years and even has a child with another woman. In the end, they’ll join forces to cripple and torture you to death!] [Uncle, you’ll be betrayed by an ungrateful subordinate and driven out of your own luxurious home, left to freeze to death in the snow!] [Grandpa… Grandma…] In the original story, only her young aunt—the novel’s female lead—survives to the very end, killing her enemies with her own hands… only to live on as something neither fully human nor a ghost. Before they can recover from learning their fates, another thought leaks out— [Sigh, the apocalypse is coming soon. As a three-year-old cannon fodder, can I go offline early? I don't want to suffer through the end of the world…] Looking at the little milk dumpling in their arms, pretending to be silly just so she can laze around… What else can the Bai family do but spoil her? They hoard supplies, renovate and fortify their home, and prepare in advance for the coming apocalypse. Meanwhile, little Yunyun follows her protagonist aunt, accidentally kicking off the base-building plot and helping create a super base where food and clothing are abundant, even in the apocalypse. Step by step, the Bai family rises to power. In the end, Yunyun is dumbfounded: [Wait… wasn't I supposed to be cannon fodder?! Why does this feel like a "pampered lucky baby" story?!] The Bai family: Their little Yunyun is, indeed, their precious lucky baby.
