In this world of Terrapia, myth states that Dragons are caretakers of the chaos wheel, a band of energy that encircles the world, penetrating through the very fabric of the dimension, they tame and convert it, not only to fuel their primal magic, but also to gentler forms that man and beast alike can tap. But now they have faded away, being sighted less and less the past couple millennia. With magic weakening, science has taken root and in many cases merged in a symbiosis with magic. Guppy Bright, a 17 year old young woman, is a technomancer apprentice living in the bustling city of Nolusburg trying to make ends meet. Apprenticed to the enigmatic and somewhat crazy Technomancer Friedrich BrassTuner, she participates in an experiment meant to tap a new rich source of energy. However something goes horribly wrong and a rip in the very fabric of reality opens in the workshop, sucking in her mentor and ejecting a dying white dragon. The dragon, after examining her, takes a gamble and entwines their souls, an act that causes the dragon, Barthurthalomalew Dresnarian Kratomanger Harrowhew Objuslorow, the 5th, aka Batty, to regress into a baby dragon, sealing much of his powers and memories in the process. This act also has profound effects on Guppy, her own magic is now crazily changed in ways no one, least of all her, understands. Guppy is suddenly plunged into a world of mystery, intrigue and politics, where everyone either wants to control, or eliminate her. Armed with little but her courage and unpredictable newfound magic how will she survive and protect herself and those she loves when everyone from techno radicals, magic purists, politicians and guttersnipes are out to get her. And those may be the least of her problems if Batty's fragmented memories are any indicator.

Born in a futuristic world where everything is nearly possible through ultra-high, space-age technology, Maxwell Thorne, a tremendously-skilled and versatile, 17-year old half-human, half-vampire, will journey to one of the numerous universes that is parallel to the one that he inhabits. Aim? To extract exceedingly large amounts of a special mineral that will ensure the continuity and development of his home world, Earth. And only he could go alone since he had a unique and advanced physiology to be able to quickly adapt and survive in there. But would he be able to actually survive in there? In a world where arrogant and haughty cultivators of Cosmic Qi, Soul Qi, Body Qi, etc, are innumerous like the sands in the desert? However, armed with many kinds of Hi-Tech futuristic equipments such as: Exoskeketal Armors, Reactor-Powered Suits, Jet Bikes, Gravity-Defying Automobiles, and then Weapons such as: Laser Swords, Disintegration Ray Rifles, Electron Beam Pistols, Plasma Grenade Launchers and many more, he might just be able to survive in there. While his body which contains two extremely powerful energies that are simply infinite, Maxwell would use them to limitlessly power the multi-trillion dollar Bionic Implants in his body to be able to contend with the cultivation experts in the parallel world he goes to for mineral extraction. *** So the cultivators in this world can punch massive holes in mountains and sunder entire valleys with their bare fists and legs? He can also do the same. They can fly at insane speeds and breathe in space? He can also pull off that amazing feat. They can cultivate any type of Qi to grow stronger, faster and more powerful? He doesn't need to cultivate anything to grow stronger, faster and more powerful. He is naturally super-strong, super-fast, and astronomically powerful. And these are due to the two boundless energies pulsating within him. Therefore, with the unlimited and vastly powerful energies that are present in his body which he would use to endlessly power the Bionic Implants in his body to augment his body's abilities, he is on his way to becoming a 'God' in this universe full of cultivators. Then due to the extreme physiological alteration of his body by one of the two unfathomably powerful energies, endowing him with astonishing superhuman powers like: Ability to shoot wide and focused, continuous beams of electricity from his eyes and hands, or as concentrated blasts from his entire body in all directions to cancel out hundreds or thousands of targets; Ability to unleash massive, ravaging streams of fire possessing great heat which would match that of the planet core or sun's core to melt away or vaporize obstacles; Ability to unceasingly generate atomic bomb-level and nuclear bomb-level explosions to totally ruin or devastate entire cities or continents; Ability to fly in the air or run on feet at sub-sonic, supersonic, hypersonic, light and supra-light speeds to chase after his enemies and slay them, etc, he is very much on his way to becoming someone who would be fearsomely powerful and dreadful than the so-called 'Gods' or 'Deities' in this cultivators' universe. But, would he be able to grow to this infinitely powerful level in the vast world of scheming, greedy, jealous and absolutely wicked cultivators? Would he be able to successfully take a greatly sufficient quantity of the special mineral to Earth for his planet continued sustenance? *** To know more, then journey with our amazing hybrid MC, Maxwell Thorne, on his adventurous exploration of a parallel universe for a unique mineral that will prevent his world, Earth, from becoming completely desolate and then implode. And while at it, he will try to defeat or crush every form of cultivator that will appear in his path and then eventually proclaim himself as the 'Absolute Strongest' in their world, leaving an unmatched legend behind.

Sophie Wexler transmigrated into a novel about The Galaxy, becoming the vicious, F-rank Healer-class cannon fodder. The original owner constantly caused trouble and made things difficult for the female lead, earning her the hatred of the entire internet. Upon transmigrating and seeing that everything had been ruined by the original owner, Sophie's only thought was: "What kind of nightmare start is this?!" To escape the original owner's fate, Sophie Wexler worked diligently, conducted herself conscientiously, stayed away from the male and female leads, compensated the soldiers harmed by the original owner, and strove to be a model citizen of The Galaxy, absolutely refusing to be the cannon fodder 'offed' by the Imperial Marshal! Broke and powerless, Sophie also had to support a man who'd been innocently dragged into the original owner's mess. She had no choice but to hustle. She started live streaming, became a masked singer, and held concerts. At first, netizens were scornful: 【Tsk, how good can she possibly sound?】 Later, the netizens were forced to eat their words. 【Damn, that's so good I'm on my knees!】 【What the hell, the violent episode of my Disorder Period has actually been soothed?!】 【The toxins in my Spiritual Sea have actually been eliminated!】 Her live streams went viral, the masked singer became a huge sensation, and tickets for her concerts were snapped up across The Galaxy. Sophie was content, thinking, "This time, I must have finally escaped the original owner's fate, right?" But what do you know, the man I've been doting on and supporting is actually the Imperial Marshal?! --- One day, Yancey Forrest came home to find that the boisterous person who was always claiming to be good to him was gone. His eyes darkened. Provoke me and then think you can leave? After catching her, Yancey traced his fingertips along Sophie's neck, smiling gently. "Why run?" Sophie trembled. "You... you're the Imperial Marshal?" His identity exposed, Yancey Forrest took her hand and slowly placed it on his own neck ring. "You know I won't kill you, don't you?"
