Gods On Payroll

Jude Miller was the "mascot" of his friend group. The guy you send on beer runs. The invisible man. Then he took a bullet to the head in a gas station robbery. Usually, that's the end of the story. For Jude, it was just the orientation seminar. In 2025, superheroes are incorporated. In Philadelphia, Titan sells barbecue sauce while Ironclad films insurance commercials. The world is safe, the merchandise is selling, and the P.I.T. (Powered Individual Taskforce) keeps the ugly truths buried in the dark. But Hell is leaking. The corporate heroes are too busy worrying about Q3 earnings to notice the eldritch horrors crawling out of the alleyways. Enter the Angelic Council. They don't need a hero; they need a contractor. Jude wakes up in a fluorescent-lit Purgatory run by a cynical case manager named Bob. The deal is simple: Stay dead, or clock back in. But Heaven doesn't hire heroes, it hires expendable assets. And the contract has fine print. Now, Jude is back in Philly with a new lease on life, a weapon forged from angelic power, and a divine quota to fill. He has to hunt demons in the shadows, dodge a shadowy government agency, and stop something far worse than the heroes are willing to admit exists. But divine power doesn't pay the rent. Jude has to save the world while failing his Economics midterms, navigating toxic frat parties, and lying to the friends who still treat him like a pushover. And sooner or later, every lie comes due.

Gourmet: Cooking for the Multiverse

In a quiet corner next to a bustling street stands a small, signboard-less shop that only wakes up when the sun goes down. There is no menu here. You simply tell the owner what you crave, and he turns your wish into a culinary miracle. Ren is a retired, undefeated underground fighter who traded his fists for a kitchen knife. His culinary skills are so divine that he conquered the "God Tongue" of Nakiri Erina with a simple bowl of porridge and turned the Elite Ten's Kobayashi Rindou into a love-struck regular. But the true secret of the restaurant lies in its door. Every night, it connects to different worlds. Here, Lucifer, the Queen of Hell, abandons her pride to become a clumsy, chocolate-loving resident. The Red-Haired Yonko, Shanks, shares his finest sake with the bald hero Saitama, who is just happy to find a delicious meal that fits his budget. Even the lonely salesman Suzuki Satoru finds a warm refuge here from his exhausting work, while the compulsive gambler Momobami Kirari discovers a new obsession more thrilling than any high-stakes game. From Asuna stopping by for a late-night snack to Albus Dumbledore discovering the magic of cuisine, Ren's life is a chaotic yet heartwarming mix of legendary guests and unforgettable flavors. Welcome to the Dimensional Restaurant. Where the food heals the soul, and the guests are anything but ordinary.

Football Dynasty

Richard Maddox, a once-promising football prodigy, dreamed of becoming a star. But just as his dream was within reach, it was abruptly shattered when he banged his head on the goalpost, fracturing his skull. Forced into early retirement, Richard vanished from the public eye. People thought Richard Maddox was done for. However, no one expected that during his unconscious state, his spirit detached from his body. He drifted through time, witnessing the world of football from the perspective of a ghost. It was strange, unpleasant, yet exciting. No need for tickets or travel—he could simply fly. England, Italy, Spain, Germany—the best football countries in Europe—and even the passionate South America, the energetic Africa, and the growing Asia—Richard observed the rise and fall of football giants, all from the sidelines. However, watching football from the other side was quite different from experiencing it live. He missed the cheering, singing, and chanting with the other fans. No one could hear him now. No one could watch football with him. He was... alone. Just as Richard was about to be bored to death, his soul was sucked back, and he realized that only an entire year had passed. 'Interesting,' he thought, laughing. “I could bet, invest in companies that will succeed in the future, and get rich. Bitcoin, I'm coming, baby.” but who could have guessed that Richard would dive so deep into the world of football—From owning a single share to testing the waters as a scout, trying his hand as an agent, and eventually stepping into the world of coaching, before finally diving into the realm of football club ownership. It has truly been a full spectrum of football, the highs and the lows. Join us as we welcome Richard Maddox!
