Synopsis

I know what I am. But what am I to become? I’ve left the life of an adventurer behind. I’m now the captain of a powerful mercenary company, in pursuit of much bigger prizes. But the city of Avanasia is not like the wilderness I once wandered. Its politics are as opaque as the river that flows through it. My enemies are many and hidden, and the identity of my friends is unclear. The Thieves Guild wants things from me, as do the fanatical tribes of the desert, with their allegiances to gods I little understand. And that matters. Because the gods of this world lie behind my challenges. They have plans for me. Plans for me to become something I can barely perceive. Perhaps even to become one of them. Warlord of Empyrea is an isekai fantasy adventure in the theme of classic barbarian pulp fiction.

In the continent of Chang'an humans had lived as livestock and slaves to the Primordial Beasts. These beasts were ferocious, bloodthirsty and overwhelmingly powerful, but even so, the humans managed to prevail in the face of despair.

As the human race grew stronger the Primordial Beasts fought back with relentless fierceness, rousing beast hordes to engage in frenzied battles over the land.

Every single child on the continent was taught martial arts for the sake of fighting these Primordial Beasts, yet many of them were sent straight to their death.

In this world filled with constant battle, a young boy was born. This young boy was hoping to become the most outstanding cultivator, but who would have thought that his talent was so poor that he could not even cultivate?

Super Sales on Super Heroes 4

William D. Arand

In a world full of super powers, Felix had a pretty crappy one.

He has the ability to modify any item he owns. To upgrade anything.

Sounds great on paper. Almost like a video game.

Except that the amount of power it takes to actually change, modify, or upgrade anything worthwhile is beyond his abilities.

At least, that was until Felix leveraged a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to give himself a great deal of points.

Investing in Super Heroes and Super Villains and owning them. Using them, Felix built up an empire.

An organization by the name of Legion.

It grew to heights that could stand toe-to-toe with governments, even at a military level.

Surprisingly, not a whole lot changed despite becoming a mega-company CEO.

Politicians were still corrupt. Banks still held onto your money. And criminals still committed crime.

Governments still wanted to take everything from Felix and Legion.

In the end, Legion had to back down. Retreat back to a new homeworld. Losing important people in the process.

Kit Carrington and Lillian Lux sacrificed themselves to save him and were marooned on a hostile planet. Even as their home world fell into ruin, Felix fell back.

He resolved himself to wait for a chance to get back into the fight after tending to his wounded organization.

Now, the Overgod Runner has just appeared and offered him a second chance.

To rebuild Legion and crush everyone in his way. If he could do that, and take over the government of the country he’s about to be dropped into, he’ll get Kit and Lily back.

There was no way Felix would let go of this chance, nor could he even consider the possibility of failure.

It’s time to get Kit and Lily back.

Legion First.

Pearl of the South

★ 4.12

Vasily Mahanenko

Earth was never the same after World of the Changed. Humanity was reduced to two camps: monsters thirsting to kill, and players doing everything they could to survive. The squabbles people had spent their time on before? Gone. If you wanted to live to see another sunrise, you had to work with everyone you could, from other players to game functions.

Mark Derwin, the most advanced player through the initial period of the game, knew all too well that his level was no advantage. Far from it—the game owner didn’t tolerate anyone who got too far ahead. The only thing the owner wanted was for Earthlings to disappear without a trace, giving up their resources to be extracted. But not everyone was willing to bend the knee before alien intelligence. In fact, some had begun to fight back against the game.

The Destroyer

★ 4

Michael-Scott Earle

After untold centuries of absence, the evil Ancients have returned. Their magic appears unstoppable and their hunger for conquest is insatiable. To protect the country of Nia, Duchess Nadea and Scholar Paug make a desperate journey to find a human legend: A man known to have destroyed these Ancient foes with a powerful army.

But legends can lie.

When Paug and Nadea revive their hero from sleep, his virtue is far from clear.

Is he really their Savior or their Destroyer?

King of the Satyrs

★ 4.54

Marvin Knight

Father, Patriarch, Conqueror. Theo's done it all, and he's ready to settle down. But his enemies have other plans.
Far from the Hearthwood, his enemies plot against him. The Cult of the Unblinking Eye schemes. An arrogant Satyr King demands. A swarm of dragons hungers. And an evil twin has plans of his own.

At home, the Hearthwood has never been better. With Sam and Dean at his side once again, Theo thinks his days of battle and struggle are behind him. Now's the time to build and raise his family to face the future.

But his enemies are not dead, and not all his foes are conquered. And now with a family to protect, the stakes have never been higher.

For as Theo's power has grown, so too has that of his foes. Caught up in schemes that span worlds, the Sorcerer realm won't be enough to keep him and his clan alive. Even the power of The Wanderer won't grant him an edge against enemies with just as many tricks up their sleeves.

Theo will have to dig deep down and draw forth that old grit and determination to protect all that he holds dear.

The Lord Ruler

★ 4.54

Alvin Atwater

The saga of Nate the cheat potion maker continues!

My place in this world slowly reveals itself to me. Unfortunately, I’m constantly reminded just how magicians truly screwed this place up. The Lord Ruler serves as one of the kingdom’s major problems, though there could be more to it.
Tasks: rank up the shop and town, adapt to my ever-increasing strength, and hey, there are foes that are seriously strong out there.
So many things happen in my growing tale this time around. Sit. I shall continue…

Novel contains: Strong MC in a slice of life environment, dungeon diving, boss battles, cultivation and elements, mana/magic, mc exclusive system but it doesn't do the work for him, treasures, adventurers, slow world building, build-up, features that will not be introduced all at once (upgrades so on), actual good loot at the end of very powerful bosses, romance(no harem). As characters develop throughout the series, issues and emotions and even the mc may find himself in a corner or two. A story of an upcoming potion shopkeeper and his apprentices.

Building an S-ranked Potion Shop is easier said than done...
