I was nobody—a faceless drone, slaving away at a meaningless job in the modern world. But fate—or perhaps something far more sinister—had other plans. One moment, I was staring at the rain-slick asphalt of a street I'd never cross. The next, I woke up in a world torn straight from fantasy, staring down at hands that weren't my own. I was not only in another world; I was inside the body of King Alaric Varelius—dead, bloodied, and betrayed. In a next few moments, chaos engulfed me. Assassins came attacking me, and before I even get to scream, a voice in my head whispered to me: Skill Activated: Gluttony. When I woke up, I was covered in their blood, their strength flowing through my veins, and a glowing status window hovered before my eyes. It said one thing: in this world, power isn't earned—it's taken. But death is far from being the end for me. Each time I die, I revert to the same damned moment of rebirth—becoming the dead king once again. Wielding the skill Gluttony and replete with experience garnered through multiple lives, I vow to cut out my path towards survival. The kingdom I now rule teeters on the brink of collapse, plagued by treacherous nobles, ancient grudges between races, and whispers of a Demon King's impending invasion. It's clear what I'm here to do: unify the races, strengthen the kingdom, and uncover the mystery of why King Alaric—and now I—was marked for death. Every death teaches me something new. Each enemy I slay adds their strength along with their memories into mine. But the stronger it gets, the less one can control and harness it. More so, with each successive life taken, the hunger gains momentum. Can an ordinary nobody like me, a man, really be the king this broken world needs? Or will I lose myself to the darkness within before the final battle even begins? One thing’s for certain: I’ll die trying. Again. And again.

Harley Davis was your average coffee-slinging comic book nerd living a perfectly ordinary life in Miami—until he fell asleep reading his favorite Deadpool comic and woke up in a grimy New York City apartment. His prized comic? Still with him. His normal life? Gone. And his new reality? Let’s just say it feels suspiciously like a Marvel crossover event gone horribly wrong. When Wolverine shows up claiming Harley’s comic has broken the multiverse and Deadpool bursts in with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer, Harley’s life takes a turn for the absurd. Suddenly, he’s not just a barista; he’s the unwitting center of a cosmic calamity involving malfunctioning dimensions, bickering superheroes, and a fourth wall that’s practically in shambles. Armed with his encyclopedic knowledge of Marvel lore, a knack for sarcastic banter, and a growing suspicion that Deadpool is enjoying this way too much, Harley must navigate a chaotic multiverse filled with quirky allies, terrifying foes, and plot twists that could rival any comic book. Can a regular guy with zero powers survive a world where the rules of reality bend like rubber? Or will Harley’s journey end in a disaster big enough to wipe out the entire multiverse? One thing’s for sure: it’s going to be a wild, laugh-out-loud ride through a story that blurs the line between fandom and reality.

Leo Carter is just your average 21st-century English major—slightly disorganized, perpetually late, and hopelessly hooked on the dramatic, old-school world of Shakespeare. But when a late-night study session with Julius Caesar unexpectedly turns into an accidental trip through time, Leo finds himself not in a college dorm, but smack-dab in the heart of ancient Rome. To make matters worse, Leo isn't just a tourist; he's holding a mysterious, glowing book that seems to pulse with a life of its own and whispers secrets that no modern-day student should ever know. Cue the eye-rolls from history buffs everywhere: Leo Carter, with his sneakers and too-tight jeans, is now the unlikely center of attention in a world full of toga-wearing senators, opportunistic politicians, and more backstabbing than a high school cafeteria. With the help of Gaius, a sharp-tongued scholar who suspects Leo's arrival is part of a bigger picture, Leo must navigate the bustling city streets, avoid unwanted attention from the guard, and figure out why his 21st-century self is now entangled in a centuries-old power struggle. All the while, he’s juggling his modern sensibilities with the unexpected—and often absurd—realities of life in ancient Rome, including questionable hygiene, impromptu gladiator fights, and more than one ill-timed “Et tu, Brute?” moment. As if that wasn't enough, there’s the book: a relic that some seek to control and others to destroy. With his own life on the line, Leo will have to learn the real lessons of ambition, loyalty, and how to properly make an entrance when surrounded by a crowd of toga-clad onlookers. And he might just find that some things—whether ancient or modern—are more timeless than they seem.

What would you do if time itself turned against you? If you were stuck reliving the same moments over and over, unable to break free, would you give up—or fight to find a way out? Ethan didn’t expect his life to spiral into chaos. One moment, he was an ordinary guy going about his day; the next, he was trapped in an endless loop of the same events. Every decision, every action—none of it seemed to matter. But just when he’s on the verge of losing hope, Ethan stumbles upon something unexpected: a strange dimension filled with beings unlike anything he’s ever imagined. Now, with his reality crumbling and the rules of time unraveling, Ethan must navigate this mysterious world and uncover its secrets. But the more he learns, the more he realizes that escaping the loop might come at a price he’s not ready to pay.

Harley thought it was just another day at the office—a routine evening spent balancing spreadsheets and sipping cold coffee. But when the ground trembled beneath his feet and a fiery explosion tore through the city, his ordinary life was shattered in an instant. Amidst the chaos of burning wreckage and collapsing buildings, something far more horrifying emerged: the dead didn’t stay dead. The lifeless bodies scattered across the streets began to rise, their unnatural movements spreading panic and terror faster than the flames. Now trapped in a city plunged into nightmare, Harley must fight to survive and uncover the truth behind the catastrophe. With his life and humanity hanging by a thread, he’s about to discover how far he’s willing to go when the rules of the world no longer apply. When the sky falls and the dead rise, what would you do to stay alive?
