Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set.
Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex.
Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process.
Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe.

Build. Evolve. Conquer. Welcome to the dawn of a whole new kind of monster…
Roark von Graf built a nation on the bodies of griefed players and disgruntled mobs who wanted him dead. He grinded his way up to the level cap of the Troll Evolutionary Path and made powerful underhanded alliances along the way, but even all of that isn’t enough to defeat the Tyrant King’s right-hand mage, Lowen, and the Divine armies of the most powerful dungeon in the game.
When Lowen and the Vault of the Radiant Shield go on the attack, Roark’s only hope of survival lies in the stolen World Stone Pendant and its mysterious transmutation magic. To stand a chance against the overpowered mage, he’ll have to unlock the game-changing cheat that is Mega-Evolutions.
But while Roark and his Troll Nation are entrenched in an all-out battle for survival, the Tyrant King is preparing to unleash his hidden weapon—one that will hit Roark where he’s most vulnerable…

Welcome back to the world of ARS, a land where rats dance to the music, a place where someone who has been burned by love can find a second chance. This is the second volume in the adventures of Scott and Rhea. New characters are introduced, and lots of action and humor are present. In this volume Scott and Rhea are separated for a time due to her need to do girl elf stuff. The sorcerer, impatient to become stronger, makes a foolish decision and is forced to deal with the outcome. The somewhat odd nature of the elf maiden Rhea is explained and more of everything that made the first volume good, returns! Come, witness the spectacle! This series is part of a group of stories that feature a similar main character who lives their life inside a game setting. As such, the name 'Scott', will feature in several different series. Currently two of those stories are published. One is Origin ARS, and the other is Freelance Saga. The latter story has a bit of... monster girl related naughtiness... and is not suitable for all ages.
Previously- Mark and the ones he loves are forced to explore an abandoned space resort until a connection is made that opens an alternate path. With the help of his Enthralled, he finally steps out of his ChronoMind immersion rig and back into the real world.
Now- the battlefield becomes much wider as Mark, Ahnix, Vale, and Roo must make new friends and face dangerous enemies across both digital and post-apocalyptic landscapes before they can hope to find the peace they deserve.
This story contains graphically depicted sexual acts.
When driven by a goal, the impossible oft becomes doable, like slaughtering an entire coven of the Twice Cursed God’s adepts without mercy, or leading a legion of demons to storm the last bastion of the Cursed Princedom. But as the impossible hurdles keep on coming, even that drive may not be enough for Krian to escape Demon Grounds, make it to the higher plane, reunite with his sister and friend, and exact vengeance on his mortal enemy...
Volume 2
I'm captured? Fine, I can't help it since I can't move.
Experimented on? At least give me some anaesthetic.
I'm freed? Let me get some revenge.
Want to plead for your life? Sorry, this miss here holds a grudge.
I destroyed the lab so now let me explore this world freely.
I somehow joined Mr Hero's party. Fine, he seems fun.
"Aiya, how cruel. For the honour of being a hero you'd kill this missy huh?" She smiled whilst bleeding out.
"Che, you still have the mind to joke right now?" He said with a glare.
"What is life if not to enjoy every moment? Since I'm going to die and I can't avenge myself, I hope someone else does."
"No one will. You were the only one who was more powerful than I with your Nanomancy. Now with you out of th-"
"Hush child. I'm trying to die in peace here."
"But I'm ol-!"
"Ap! Good children don't disturb their elders."
"But yo-!"
"Bye~" She grinned before losing strength.
"FUCK!"
…
Why am I sleeping in the snowfields?
Mr Wolves are growling at me. Hungry huh?... Me too.

Who is messing with the world's gears, summoning the spawn of the Dark from their underground tunnels and lairs? And how can Attila and his reluctant companions stop evil from taking over their new world?
