“Luck is not random. It's leverage.” Clay Holmes was the statistical average of mediocrity, a man adrift until a catastrophic, improbable car pile-up, a cosmic anomaly, forced his latent destiny to the surface. Clay survived, not by chance, but by becoming the latest inheritor of the King of War Cycle, a living engine of fate tasked with maintaining the precarious balance of chaos and order in the world. This ascension gifted Clay a terrifying, dual power set. First, Physiological Regression, which allows him to instantly read every historical weakness, old injury, and micro-shift in an opponent’s anatomy, turning every fight into a perfectly choreographed counter-attack rooted in past truth. Second, Probability Bias: the true power of a strategic genius. Clay doesn't need to be stronger or faster; he subtly manipulates every stray variable, a breath, a flicker of light, a loose floor tile, ensuring the 0.01% chance of victory becomes a 100% statistical inevitability. But his awakening triggers a devastating war with the man who came before him. The Predecessor, the former King of War who cracked under the psychological weight of the Debt and the Cycle's constant violence, has returned to finish his mission: end all probability. Convinced that random chance is the source of all human suffering and the guarantor of future devastation, the Predecessor seeks to obliterate the very concept of luck from the world. To stop the Predecessor, Clay must master his terrifying control over luck and anatomy, leading him back to the Nexus Point of his accident for a final, reality-bending confrontation. The stakes are total: if Clay fails, the world ends in rigid, predictable order. If he succeeds, he must transcend his humanity, merging with the combined knowledge of every King before him to become the Consciousness of Possibility, the ultimate defender of human potential.

Agent B-12, a member of a secret organization, was tasked with recovering a mystical artifact that could prevent a global catastrophe. But when he fails, fate steps in—and the last hope isn’t left in human hands… but in paws. The paws of a small stray dog who just happened to be in the very place where everything began to go wrong. Podbe, the dog, and a group of unlikely allies set out on a daring journey to stop those threatening the fate of the world. Can this curious canine succeed where even the best agent failed? Sometimes, heroes don’t wear capes. They wear collars, walk on four determined paws… and follow a nose that never misses.

Su Jin is the third and youngest son of a City Lord. When his brother was born, dragon roars resounded in the sky and when his sister was born, the entire city quaked and was almost buried but when he was born, nothing happened. He was born without a Spirit Root, Meridians and no Acupoints. Someone coveting his wife tried to kill him by drowning him in a huge barrel filled with all kinds of wines but as if it was a blessing in disguise, he became a cultivator. He now has the Drunken Scripture. "I don't just want to be the only drunken, let the city, the country, the continent, the world, the heavens be drunk with me!"

The youthful prodigy of the Alliance, the Necromancer Kyo the Deathweaver, is dead. But he was not slain by the illness that haunted him. Killed mercilessly by a traitor to the alliance he had sworn himself to, during a war between that same Alliance and the corrupt dogs of the Maburh Empire. He died for nothing, but he did so valiantly. Another youth taken by war. So why is it that he is awoken, 50 years later? Why is it that he finds a world where the Alliance lost and the traitor that slew him is hailed as a Hero? Why is it that he finds a world that does not remember his name? That won't do. That won't do at all.

The fight for alpha is a competitive and complex endeavor, requiring significant skill, experience, bravery, courage and discipline to succeed.
