System Action

Fight, survive, adapt, and rely only on yourself. That is Derek’s creed and what's got him through the System Integration on Earth. Everything changed when the System came. Cute bunnies and beautiful butterflies became savage killing machines. Then the Invaders arrived with a single goal: to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. War has raged ever since. None of this mattered much to Derek, aside from making living a little more perilous.

Gary doesn’t have all that much going for him. He’s a teenage boy who lives in a Tier-3 town that’s barely hanging on, and his family’s just a rung above dirt poor.

He doesn’t like what they do, but if he tries to get out, he’s pretty sure he’ll get very dead.

Powerful and otherworldly foes obstruct his path, their strength formidable enough to pulverize any ordinary man. But Nick is far from ordinary. He embodies humanity's best hope to overcome the catastrophe known as System Fall and to challenge the [Admin].

What if humanity’s next stage of evolution wasn’t discovered…But engineered? Elliot Voss spent decades pursuing a singular vision. Until he found a way to rewrite the rules of life itself.

Sept épreuves. Un boss final à éliminer. Pour Derek Hunt, le donjon de raid ne devait être qu'une formalité. Mais les anomalies se multiplient. Des notifications qu'il est le seul à recevoir. Des récompenses qui disparaissent sans explication. Des mécaniques qui échappent à toute logique. Derek a toujours joué selon ses propres règles, mais un nouveau système s'immisce dans la partie.

To survive, Danny must build more than just a party —he must forge a polyamorous family of extraordinary women, each of whom holds a piece of his heart. There’s Kira Moonwhisper, the silver-haired healer whose compassion steadies the group.

In preparation for things to come, Derek spent most of his time in Cydaria making it safe for all of his friends and companions.

They traveled to the other continent and explored different kingdoms before ending up in Linderis—Alanah’s birthplace. Alanah had no good memories of there, save for her mother.

But when classing day finally comes, the system doesn’t just make him a captain, it makes him a Gluttonous Marauder. On the plus side, it’s a unique class with combat perks, shipwright skills, and captain material. On the negative side, it comes with a reputation so bad he’s arrested on the spot.
