【Necromancer】, Originating from ancient Europe, these mysterious wizards were often male, knowing how to summon and enslave the souls of the deceased to create undead creatures.

Nathaniel "Nate" Graves, conocido en ciertos círculos sangrientos como "El Carnicero de Langley" o simplemente "Código 9", no quería volver. Tras ser quemado por la Sección Ómicron, una unidad gubernamental de "soluciones definitivas", su vida era humo barato y recuerdos peores que una resaca permanente. Pero cuando Vincent "El Cuervo" Crowe, un periodista de investigación con más enemigos que contactos (y eso es decir mucho), le suplica protección mientras intentan borrarlo del mapa por el "Expediente Cerberus", Nate sabe que su retiro se ha terminado. "¿Protegerte?", le espeta Nate, encendiendo un H. Upmann con manos que no tiemblan. "Cuervo, lo único que garantizo es que morirás cansado de correr." El Expediente Cerberus es una bomba: prueba la red de corrupción que une al Proyecto Sombras (asesinatos gubernamentales), Thorne Industries (explotación y contratos sucios), el violento Cártel de la Bahía (tráfico de todo lo imaginable) y policías y políticos hasta la médula podridos. Y el nombre de Nate está dentro, vinculado a la misión que lo convirtió en chivo expiario. Para limpiar su nombre (o vengarse con estilo), Nate necesita descifrar el Expediente y mantenerse vivo. Su único aliado estable es Vin, cuyo optimismo se limita a: "Buenas noticias, Carnicero: hoy solo nos quieren matar tres facciones distintas. ¡Progreso!". Pero la complicación tiene nombre, curvas y un juego peligroso: Seraphine Dubois, "El Ángel de Hierro". Esposa del magnate y político corrupto Darius Thorne, y amante de Nate. Su romance es pólvora mojada en whisky barato: pasión, celos tóxicos y la certeza de que ella comparte la cama de Thorne (y otros) para extraer secretos. "¿Te gusta mi vestido nuevo, querido?", le susurra Seraphine después de una cita con un juez comprado. "Es de seda italiana... y costó exactamente los detalles del próximo golpe de tu jefe contra los muelles. Una ganga, ¿no crees?" Nate lo sabe: Seraphine los usa a todos, y su información es un arma de doble filo. "Eres como un Upmann, Seraphine", le dice Nate en un raro momento de claridad. "Elegante, letal y condenadamente adictiva. Y sé que me matarás." Mientras la ciudad se desangra entre la codicia de Thorne, la brutalidad del Cártel de la Bahía liderado por Marta "La Dama" Rostova, la limpieza despiadada de Ómicron dirigida por el frío Director Vance ("El Archivista"), y la corrupción visceral del Comisionado Bell, Nate y Vin se adentran en el fango. Nate aplica su particular sentido del humor en medio del caos: "Disculpen el desorden", masculla después de dejar inconscientes a tres matones del Cártel en un club de striptease que sirve de fachada. "Pero su servicio al cliente era... mortalmente aburrido." Mientras Vin, revisando cámaras de seguridad hackeadas, comenta: "Mira el lado bueno, Código 9. Al menos la contaminación en el puerto oculta el olor a los que tú dejas atrás." La cacería es total. "La Jauría" de Ómicron, los sicarios del Cártel, los esbirros de Thorne y la policía corrupta de Bell quieren sus cabezas. Nate deberá usar cada gramo de su cerebro y cada gota de su brutal eficiencia para descifrar el Expediente, enfrentar la verdad sobre su pasado, decidir si Seraphine es su perdición o su salvación, y tal vez, solo tal vez, hacer justicia en una ciudad donde la corrupción es el único sistema que funciona. "Redención, Cuervo?", pregunta Nate mientras apunta a su siguiente objetivo, el humo de su Upmann dibujando una corona efímera sobre su cabeza. "Aquí lo único que se redime son las balas recicladas. Apunta y reza... o mejor, solo apunta." ¿Sobrevivirá Nate Graves lo suficiente para ver el Expediente Cerberus reventar en la cara de los poderosos? ¿O será solo otro nombre tachado en una lista interminable de bajas, fumando su último cigarrillo en el infierno que ayudó a crear? En esta ciudad, incluso la verdad huele a ceniza y tabaco caro... y tiene muy mal sentido del humor.

A classic tale of reincarnation. A man save a kid and god reincarnated him as a reward. follow our protagonist through his adventures in cyberpunk.

NEW DAWN In the decaying sprawl of a post-industrial mega-city where corruption thrives in the towers of the elite and the oppressed scavenge for dignity in the shadows, a figure has emerged—neither savior nor tyrant, but something far more dangerous: a man who believes in change. He is known only as Ashar, a former enforcer turned political outlier, forged by tragedy and tempered by exile. Once a tool of the system he now seeks to dismantle, Ashar walks the fine line between revolutionary and renegade. Clad in a mask not just to shield his face, but to symbolize the anonymity forced on millions, he rallies the disillusioned and the forgotten. But Ashar is not a myth. He bleeds. He doubts. He remembers the family he lost to the government's silent purges. Haunted by the ghosts of his past and burdened by the hope of a better future, he steps into the light of a New Dawn—not to lead a rebellion, but to ignite one. As the powers that be scramble to extinguish this growing spark, factions form, loyalties fracture, and the line between justice and vengeance blurs. In a world where truth has been weaponized and trust is a luxury, Ashar stands not as a hero—but as a mirror held up to a broken society. And what that society sees... may finally tear it apart.

××× In a world where immortality is the price paid for a great sin, humanity’s cursed few walk the earth—living forever but forever burdened.

As centuries pass, distrust, hatred, and violence fester among these cursed beings. Our protagonist is one such immortal, haunted by the weight of endless years and the mystery behind their curse. Driven by a desperate need to understand the truth, they embark on a journey to uncover the origins of their sin, the reason for their eternal punishment, and whether redemption—or final death—is even possible. ×××

"Eh, it would be much more convenient to do it on the spot, no?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kyouya, a peerless mind, thought he had mastered every scenario. But an extraordinarily silly expulsion, sparked by an accidental food bait, shattered his meticulously planned life. His dreams, his future—gone. Yet, his father, Kiritaka Saionji, had other plans. Nearing his 50s and desperate for an heir, he gaslighted Kyouya into accepting a "dying wish": Choose a partner to bear the next generation of the Saionji lineage. To this end, an extravagant, exclusive event was orchestrated on a private island, gathering a formidable roster of women. Among the invited guests were former classmates, all drawn by a peculiar longing for Kyouya, their reputations flawless and their wealth undeniable. As a master of intellect with impossibly high standards, Kyouya, despite the coercion, couldn't deny the allure of the formidable women presented.

Seventeen years after the great war that reshaped realms, the world stands in uneasy peace under the watchful eye of the Shadow Monarch. His son, Sung Suho, comes of age in a world still marked by ancient power and fractured destinies. But Suho’s awakening is no ordinary inheritance. Bearing the weight of dual legacies—one forged in shadow, the other in destruction—Suho steps into a world transformed. As new Gates emerge with unfamiliar forms and unknown dangers, he faces trials that challenge not only his strength but his very essence. Each victory deepens his connection to forces far older and more complex than he could have imagined, while the mysterious System that governs Hunters begins to show signs of strain. Humanity itself has evolved. Mana pulses through the land and its people, shifting power balances and sparking new conflicts. Nations vie for control over these portals between worlds, and shadows of past heroes have twisted into something unrecognizable. Dark forces from other realities cross over, bringing chaos and challenge, forcing Suho to confront threats that blur the line between friend and foe. Torn between competing wills within himself and caught in a web of cosmic intrigue, Suho must learn what it truly means to wield power—not for conquest, but for purpose. Alongside unlikely allies and against enemies both familiar and strange, he fights to protect a world on the brink of fracturing. As Gates multiply and time itself seems to unravel, Suho’s journey leads to an inevitable reckoning. To survive—and to save all that remains—he must master the legacy he has inherited and forge a new path beyond legend. From the dawn of his ascension to the crucible of destruction, Suho’s fate will decide the shape of a new age. He will not simply follow in the footsteps of those before him, but become something entirely his own: the heir who reshapes the future.
