FLAMING STATES : NEW ERA

When the King of the Kingdom of MIJEN perished in the fires of invasion, Queen Lyana Ignis led the last remaining royal guards and her people into the terrifying expanse of the Void Sea. For thirty years they sailed the void sea until they reached the eastern coast of Amilanga, a forgotten continent where civilization was a just fell from terrifying first first war of fall . Beneath a scorching sun and across an ever-spanning desert, she envisioned a land where their flame would never extinguish. Within a decade, she raised the Kingdom of Agnikhaat, unified the local Sun Fire tribe, and tamed the unclaimable central golden desert—founding a legacy that her descendants would revere as the light of the dark times. Five centuries later, during the Second War of Fall, King Toren Ignis expanded these borders, conquering the southern desert kingdoms and northern mountain kingdoms to establish the Empire: the strongest land on the continent and the only royalty to survive the Third War of Fall. Now, 400 years into the future, the peace of Amilanga teeters on a knife's edge. The Master of the Spirit Temple—the final witness to the peace treaty—lies on his deathbed, and with his fading breath, the political equilibrium collapses. An unprecedented generation of geniuses has emerged just as the world marches toward the return of its worst nightmare: THE WAR OF FALL 4. From the northern caves, the purged Arson Clans wait for blood; the unyielding knights of the Thundergun Dynasty prepare for battle; the Amizhvara Dynasty abandons its pacifist ways; the Rocktan warriors thirst for revenge; and the Kashtan Empire awaits the birth of a new saint. Hiding among the common folk are Other-worlders, reincarnaters, and wielders of mystic arts—protagonists who find themselves cast as enemies on a chaotic battlefield, forced to strike at one another for duty and people. In the coming storm, the fall of many is the rise of one. That is War

I'm Trying To Go Broke, So Why Do I Keep Getting Richer?!

Leo had a problem. Don't be like Leo! It wasn't that he was poor. It wasn't that he was unlucky. It was that he had been cursed, or blessed by the Accidental Tycoon System. The rules were deceptively simple. Any money he lost on an investment would be returned to him, doubled. His life's new mission was crystal clear. He had to go bankrupt. In a high-tech world of S-Rank Heroes, magic, and newly-contacted alien civilizations, this should have been the easiest thing to achieve in the galaxy. He just had to become the biggest, most spectacular loser the universe had ever seen. So, he tried. Oh, how he tried... He threw billions at publishing a dungeon guide written by a 10-year-old. The maps were in crayon, and it listed the final boss as a Big Grumpy Badger. [Breaking: New S-Rank dungeon called 'The Whispering Labyrinth' appears! All high-tech mapping drones fail. A lost F-Rank porter used the crayon guide... and it's 100% accurate. The final boss is a 50-foot divine badger. The Galactic Union has declared the guide a 'holy text' for exploration!] He bought the galaxy's most useless moon, planning to build a 'Museum of Paint'. [Alert: Ancient magical ley-lines discovered under the moon's surface! It's the only place in the universe that can safely grow the 'Star-Lotus,' the key ingredient for immortality!] To the Intergalactic Hero's Guild, the Magic Academies, and the Alien Federations, Leo was the god of investment whose every move was like 5D chess that ordinary people couldn't understand. Heroes would soar with his sponsorship. Alien emperors offered him their daughters' hands in marriage for a single 'tip'. But Leo just stared at his bank account, which now displayed his wealth that he couldn't use on himself, with tears streaming down his face. "Please," he cried, "I'm trying to fail! Why won't you just let me be poor?!"
