May those who have sinned perish

Another_Guy_9137
In the fractured kingdom of Fallen Grace, where the sea devours the weak and the Five Great Banks drown dissent in gold, survival is a currency only the ruthless afford. Kael Vorn, a Dormant in a world that worships essence-fed power, has survived 15 years in the gutters of Harbor’s End on cunning alone. But when a botched theft entangles him with Veyra Tideborn—one of the kingdom’s two Grandmasters, a tempest in human form with a stone arm forged from Dead Zone terrors—he’s thrust into a war far older than himself. Veyra offers him a blade’s-edge bargain: “Help me burn the Banks, or die as the nobody you are.” Her target? A vault holding ledgers of every soul the Banks have crushed, including the final words of Kael’s mother, who dared defy them. But Veyra’s true motives are as shrouded as the Dead Zones, and her stone arm cracks with secrets that could drown nations. Beside them stands Mara, a sharp-tongued deckhand with a dormant Beast-core sparking in her veins and a vendetta against the Banks that took her family. Her untapped power calls to the Dead Zones, but awakening it might cost her humanity—or worse, play into Veyra’s designs. As Kael walks the knife’s edge between Veyra’s brutal tutelage and the Banks’ tightening noose, he learns that in Fallen Grace, weakness is a sin… but power is a lie. To survive, he’ll need to master both—or perish as the Banks, the General’s shadow, and the sea itself close in.

The Black Cloud Sword: The Rise of Do-Hyun

“Kangho refers to the world of martial artists, akin to the ‘jianghu’ in Chinese wuxia literature.” “The Martial World doesn’t belong to the strong—it belongs to those who endure until the end.” Lee Do-Hyun, an ordinary office worker. Trapped in a monotonous routine, he stumbles upon a mysterious book that changes his life forever. When he opens his eyes, he finds himself in a new world—the Martial World (Kangho)—reborn as the weakest of the weak. With no power to rely on, Do-Hyun is saved by Chun-Hyang at the Pungwolru, a house of pleasure that’s much more than it seems. There, he learns the ways of survival from women who have mastered the art of turning weakness into strength. Quick footwork, exploiting openings, and the psychology of battle—skills not meant for the strong, but for those determined to survive. Then, fate intervenes. Do-Hyun discovers a legendary blade—the Ego’s Sword—a weapon that chooses its own master. The blade whispers, “I will test your will.” With this cursed gift, Do-Hyun rises from obscurity, becoming a beacon of hope for the oppressed. His name spreads through the Martial World, and the once-mocked women of Pungwolru stand proud alongside him. But the Martial World doesn’t change so easily. • Rising prodigies who believe in the supremacy of raw strength • A corrupt leadership within the so-called “just” Beggar’s Sect • And secret powers scheming to revive the legacy of fallen gods… At the heart of these battles, Do-Hyun makes his stand: “I’ll shatter the rules of Kangho. I’ll show them the true meaning of strength.” Will he become the master of the sword—or will the sword master him? The story of a man who became the hope of the weak begins now. #MartialArts #Isekai #Swordmaster #UnderdogRising #ReformingTheMartialWorld

He awakens in Aver, a world of magic where humans, elves and a dragon battle against a necromantic Dark Lord and his undead legions. Stranded without his tech, William discovers his analytical mind has unlocked a unique power, a 'System' interface overlaying reality, revealing stats, probabilities, and exploitable patterns invisible to others. Swords and sorcery now rule, but William's greatest weapon remains his mind. Can he leverage his unique System to optimize magic, predict enemy movements, and find glitches in the Dark Lord's plans? To survive, and perhaps even thrive, in this brutal new world, William must level up his strange abilities, forge unlikely alliances, and prove that even against ancient magic, data can be the ultimate power.
