Goblin Smashing

GOBLIN SMASHING Tokyo, 2045. For most, a future costs more than they’ll ever earn. For Rin Kazehaya, it costs everything his family’s home, his mom’s life in a hospital, and debt collectors closing in on his siblings. The only thing that pays is hustle and hope. When Hero’s Glory Online launches its Crystal League expansion, a single tagline is everywhere: “Bring your business here.” One week. Discounted entry. Real cash for every match, every territory won. Anyone can play but not everyone survives. Rin gambles the last of his savings on a shot he can’t afford to lose, logging in from a battered first-gen pod built by his father. But a glitch locks him in as a Goblin the weakest, most-mocked race in the game. No reset. No second chance. Now, every victory means cash, every loss risks everything, and every move is broadcast to millions while Tokyo’s most ruthless family closes in on his real life. If he fails, he loses more than a game. But Goblins don’t know when to quit. With nothing left but his wits, a gambler’s instinct, and a dream nobody believes in, Rin’s about to find out what happens when the underdog brings his business and his fight to the world’s biggest stage. UPLOAD 2-3 TIMES A WEEK {MONDAY AND FRIDAYS} Goblin Smashing comes from someone who’s lived the grind as an esports organization owner and competitive MOBA player.

Chronicles of the Ashborn Imperium

On the continent of Vhaerunthal, strength is not rare—and weakness is unforgivable. The Kaeryth Imperium stands as the most powerful human empire in the world, ruled not by fragile crowns, but by power carefully balanced between the royal throne and the Eight Great Families. Each family commands an element, private armies, and warriors capable of reshaping battlefields. Knights here are not symbols—they are weapons. Even common soldiers are trained to kill monsters that would wipe out entire towns elsewhere. In the volatile Cinderfall March, House Pyranthir governs lands born of fire and ash. It is a house that forges its children through brutal discipline, where talent is expected and weakness is discarded. From this house is born Aren Pyranthir, a boy whose growth shatters every known precedent. At the age of nine, Aren reaches a realm of strength no child should touch. Yet in an empire where power is abundant, strength alone means nothing without authority. The Great Families watch one another in constant rivalry. The Crown enforces order but fears imbalance. Beyond imperial borders, other races prepare for war. Monsters roam the wilds, calamities are born from ancient battlefields, and the world remembers those who leave scars upon it. Aren does not dream of becoming the strongest knight. He does not seek to serve the throne. He intends to claim it. To reshape an empire where power is no longer hoarded by bloodlines alone—but forged, refined, and enforced across the entire nation. To stand above nobles, kings, monsters, and legends, and decide what strength truly means in a world that worships it. This is the chronicle of a boy born in ash, and the empire that will one day burn under his rule.
