Steel, Explosives, and Spellcasters

Yin Zidian
Is Magic really just a wish machine? No! In a universe where Magic truly exists, the ultimate nature of Magic must be as simple and aesthetically pleasing as the laws of physics. This is the story of a mass-produced magical war tool who learned the ultimate nature of Magic. But what of it? Just as birds can fly without understanding aerodynamics, magicians can use Magic without grasping its ultimate nature. Learning the ultimate nature of Magic doesn't mean the tool can instantly transform into a great magician. But yearning for knowledge is a human instinct, and curiosity is the primary driving force of human civilization. Even for Magic, which should seemingly defy explanation, humans hope to understand its inherent operational laws. The pursuit of Magic's ultimate nature requires no reason! The story in this book takes place in an era where steel and gunpowder dance together. Here, firearms are on the rise; armor remains the main character; military theory is changing rapidly, with endless innovations in systems and techniques. And this world has something more than ours: Magic. The world is undergoing a profound transformation, and no one can remain detached from it...

She heard that the Genius Society member Herta was beautiful and wise, so she begged them to kill her in exchange for cooperating with the experiment. She heard that Yaoshi gave the blessing of abundance and was hunted by Lan for ten thousand years, so she also went to send blessings. She heard... She thought, the universe is so big, there will always be someone who can kill her. --+-- "The most compassionate Emanator of Abundance, the benevolent and virtuous physician, the Compassionate Medicine Princess that brings hope, the Loving Sage of Compassion... these are the beautiful titles given to you by the residents of various planets." --+-- During an interview, the reporter asked Felittis: "Everyone admires your merits and character, and unanimously believes that the above titles cannot reflect your perfection, so they are more accustomed to calling you 'Savior' and, 'The Guardian'."

Perfect Sin

Perfect sin _BL Romance novel In a world where love is forbidden, where judgment, fear, and rejection rule—two young men are bound by a fate neither of them chose. Jaceon—a demon who thrives on sin and fear—was never meant to feel. For centuries, he has devoured human corruption, feeding off their darkness. But his next assignment is different. His target is Levi—the son of a righteous man whose past sins have unknowingly condemned his child to ruin. Jaceon must break him, corrupt him, and drag him into the abyss. But what happens when the hunter starts craving the warmth of his prey? Levi has lived a life of perfection, a shining example of virtue in the eyes of the world.

The touch of sin has never felt so tempting. Drawn together by forces beyond their control, their connection defies reason. Jaceon was sent to destroy Levi, yet every stolen moment, every glance filled with longing, pulls them closer. But demons cannot love. And humans cannot love what they fear. As passion and destruction intertwine, as love and ruin collide, they are faced with an impossible choice—surrender to the cruel hands of fate or fight for a love that was never meant to exist. In a battle between heaven and hell, between desire and duty, will they find salvation in each other—or will they become the perfect sin? Perfect Sin is a dark, emotional BL romance filled with forbidden love, supernatural temptation, and a love story that dares to defy destiny. Perfect for fans of tragic yet passionate romances where love is both a curse and a blessing.

RENT-FREE SPIRITS

Tia Ramelan never expected her broke twenty-something life to take a turn for the... undead. When a mysterious letter arrives claiming she's inherited a crumbling Victorian mansion from an uncle she’s never met, she thinks it’s a scam. But curiosity (and crushing rent) drives her to check it out—and what she finds is much worse than termites. The house is haunted. Spectacularly haunted. Now living rent-free (kind of), Tia is suddenly the reluctant landlord to a misfit crew of ghosts: a tea-obsessed Victorian noblewoman, a raving party ghost from the ‘80s, a creepily helpful ghost child, and a cat that may or may not be a minor deity. Just as she starts to settle into the madness, a demon in a fiery suit arrives with a mountain of unpaid spectral debt and a deadline: turn a profit in 30 days or lose the house—and the ghosts—to soul foreclosure. Armed with sarcasm, a borrowed laptop, and zero clue how to run a business, Tia launches the world’s first haunted bed-and-breakfast. But between cursed bathtubs, demonic zoning laws, and ghostly guest drama, keeping the lights on (literally) might kill her before the demon can. Rent-Free Spirits is a hilariously spooky ride through haunted real estate, found family in the afterlife, and what happens when you turn your ghost problems into a business model.

Abyss Descension: I Perform Rituals to Evolve In The Apocalyps

The Great Human Civilization has crumbled apart, falling into the Abyss. A hell with no escape. To survive there, some rules must be followed blindly. 1: Be wary of the dead for they don't rest even in death. 2: Always be on the lookout. Danger lurks everywhere in the Abyss. Nowhere is truly safe. Lastly, if you hear something unusual like a voice that shouldn't be there, do not investigate. Just run. At least then you might get to keep your life. *** Kev's adult life was suddenly upended when he was pulled into a nightmarish world along with countless other humans. To survive he had no choice but to perform a ritual he chanced upon through a series of inexplicable events. The ritual promised great power. He gave in to the temptation, performed the ritual, and stepped into the realm of mysticism. At the same time, he made the worst mistake of his life and put his sanity at risk. Power gained through rituals came with severe drawbacks that could turn a happy go lucky fool into a bloodthirsty monster in a split second and a saint into a devil! By the time he realized it, it was already too late to turn back. {You have performed a Great Ritual} {A pact has been sealed in the depths of the unseen world.} Class Obtained: Corpse Collector in the Dark Trait Unlocked: Esoteric Mutation of the Soul Skill Gained: Shadow Manipulation Assimilation Rate: 0% Path Forward: — Collect corpses to grow stronger. — Each increase in Assimilation Rate unlocks new forbidden powers. But beware— When you look into the abyss, It stare back at you. If it grants its gifts with one hand, then doubt not it would demand tributes with the other. In the Abyss, nothing comes for me. Power especially comes at a terrible price. Pay it obediently, like a law-abiding Abyss Dweller… Or watch yourself be consumed by the evil that festers within.
