I thought being laid off from my job was the greatest of my worries but I just had to wake up in a ship's cockpit after my space game crashed. Now I have no map, no friends and no money. But that's ok, I've started from the bottom before! With my starter ship I will scour through space as a Mercenary and maybe even start up a Mercenary Company while I'm at it! This ain't my first rodeo in space after all! Except... Apparently my crew members are weird? The guy who bumped into me yesterday was found sliced up and floating outside the space station. The girl who tried to honeytrap me was reported missing with only a finger found in an alley. And then that merchant who scammed me had his entire ship blasted into bits by unknown vessels the very next day. Some people say my crewmates were behind it but they must be mistaken, right? I only know one thing for sure... In space, no one can hear you scream... *** Notes: Any R-rated scenes will be denoted by a '*' followed by an 'R' with the number of 'R's showing how much of it is R-rated.

Mirena never imagined that one day, she’d be labeled an impostor. Five years ago, the Sterling family “rescued” Mirena from an orphanage, calling it fate. Then, to “protect their honor,” they married her off to George Ashton, forcing her into five years of a humiliating, submissive marriage. Now, their “true” heiress has returned, and Mirena is discarded overnight—divorced, disowned, and the scandal of the city. What they never knew? She never needed their name to build her own. The world watches now as the woman they mocked rises as the legendary “Investment Queen.” And the family that cast her out can only watch in terror as she buys their most prized possession: her ex-husband’s company. When George crawls back, begging for another chance, Mirena doesn’t even blink. “Sorry, darling,” she smiles, cold as ice. “I don’t recycle trash.” Beside her stands Alexander Pierce—billionaire titan of Wall Street, her once-rival, now the man who can’t stay away. His hand rests, possessive and warm, on the small of her back. “Eyes forward, love,” he murmurs, his voice a low command. “You only look at what’s yours now.” And he’s making it very clear—he intends to be at the top of that list.

Hi! My name is [Redacted], but most people just call me Focaccia Bread — or Foca. I’m writing this mostly for fun, but also to share my stories, my questionable life choices, and the music that somehow came out of them. Come along for the ride as I recount how I accidentally built a successful entertainment company and somehow helped create actual music legends. Fair warning: I do not tell stories in order. My brain jumps timelines like a fever dream, so expect chaos, time skips, and zero apologies. I’m weird. I’m quirky. I embrace it with both arms and half a bagel. I know — I’m cringe. But at least I’m free. XD If you wanna listen to the Jams (Music) appearing here, you can go listen to them in YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@FocacciaBread-Music) or Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/artist/0ecDiwv85yqoktTR4h569L?si=CHJzNohaTwiTgukcKickMQ) and other streaming platforms.

Disclaimer! [In dire need of editing before continuing] Do not cross Lucifer. Do not fall in love with a mortal. The two rules followed by all denizens of the Underworld. Since a demon’s heart only craves two things abiding by these rules would be very easy in theory. Of course, I’m the unlucky fellow who broke both these rules at the same time. Which is bad, seeing as I’m the prince of said Underworld.

NOTE: Please don't expect this write to have much action and gruesome tendencies as my real intention when I first wrote the earlier chapters was to actually make them comedic and slice_of_life-ish. Well, in the end, readers didn't like that so I rewrite some, but still, you can still find some comedic aspects in the write. Especially in the first few chapters, they're a bit... not that good. SYNOPSIS... In a world inhabited with different races - Humans, Demihumans, Demons, Angels, Beast, Monsters, and many others, war always occurs. The Demon Lord, the Heroes, the Holy Empress, the king of elves, the Beast King - were the leading forces that lead and starts those wars. That was until... He arrived... The being that was powerful enough to have them ally themselves up against him.

I’m sure you’ve seen this type of story before—a Goddess scours the worlds for heroes and ends up dragging in some clueless high schoolers to fight a Demon Lord. Not that it’s bad, but let’s be real. If you want to win a war, why not summon people who actually do that kind of job for a living? And that’s exactly what happens here. Instead of a bunch of teenagers, the Goddess finds herself summoning an entire paramilitary force from Earth. A unit trained in counter-terrorism, counter-insurgency, infiltration, and special operations. Men and women who have spilled blood in warzones, dismantled insurgent cells, and lived through battles most people couldn’t even imagine. Dropped into a medieval world filled with magic, kingdoms on the brink of collapse, and a Demon Lord’s armies sweeping across the land, these professionals don’t panic. They adapt. They build FOBs, secure supply lines, and turn castles into fortified bases. But what the Goddess didn’t expect was how these soldiers would change her world far beyond the battlefield. Gunpowder meets magic. Fighter jets meets dragons. Tanks against a horde of ogres. And slowly, the world realizes this isn’t just a band of summoned heroes, this is an army, and they’ve come to deliver freedom when the price is right.
