Martial Arts Fantasy

He's the only one without magic at a school for mages. That just makes him the most dangerous student. Laku arrives at the prestigious Dzidzo Institute with a deadly secret: he's a Zero, completely unable to use magic. Armed only with Awakening, an ancient martial art, he must find his missing grandfather while hiding the truth that could get him killed.

Someone once asked: What is stronger? Martial arts or Magic? I answered: Why not simply use both? In a new world brimming with possibilities—Levels, Classes, Skills, Dungeons, and Monsters—I found myself reborn as a noble family’s troublemaker son. As a gamer, a magical world and a lazy life as a rich noble's son should have been a dream come true. But there was a massive catch. An absurd quest threw everything into chaos.

It's up to Raya to find the last dragon and save the world of Kumandra!

He spawned in a murder-maze with a mop, a teacup, and a permanent Level 1 tag. What’s the worst that could happen? Drew was making lattes. Blink. Now he’s an Empty Hand Warrior in a medieval dungeon that runs on game rules and bad ideas. No sword. No armor. Just breath, footwork, and a cup he refuses to drop. The System insists he’s Level 1 forever—a glitch the locals love to laugh at. Joke’s on them. Drew’s class scales off rhythm, timing, and audacity. He learns Flow (breathe right, hit right), Step Aside (don’t be there), and the Anywhere Punch—touch the seam on zero and ...

Laku's tournament triumph has everyone at Dzidzo Institute watching him. While dodging accusations, outrunning deadly rumors, and keeping up with school work, he also needs to decode his grandfather secrets before anyone can expose him as a Zero.

Long Fang is stranded in a foreign world where proper cultivation has been replaced by annoying blue screens. He is confused and alone...but not for long. Completely ignoring the System, he forms a wholesome sect of followers to spread cultivation across the wild world. Blue screens do not take kindly to rejection, however, and Long Fang’s stubbornness soon finds him pitted against increasingly dangerous foes.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Left for dead in the merciless Saharan desert, my only path forward leads straight into Aethelgard, the floating realm of the Gold Dragons. My guide? A lost Leviathan Princess, the sworn enemy of the very dragons we seek. The key to enter their glorious dimension? Winning a brutal tournament. But they don't understand. I'm not here for glory. I'm here to take her back. The Gold Dragon Princess, my ex-professor, and I will do anything to succeed. Even if it means burning the world down or standing before her father, the Demi-God Sahrazzakhan.

Drew is still Level 1. Permanently. And somehow that’s the point. When a dungeon crowns a boss knight “Indomitable,” Drew brings breath, timing, and a door. One clean parry (Stage Door I), two open-palm seats, and the announcer quietly changes the script from defeat to practice concluded. Then the real fight begins—outside—where Sir Paywall wants to sell the town a “license to walk the road.” Chairs before blades. Med lane stays sacred. Rope gets parked. With Scrib the kindly goblin clerk (and his deadly tidy forms), Tig’s refusal book, Lark’s lantern pulse, and a market ...

Life for Cha Ming is a daily grind. A rat race where people don’t make any real decisions. When he asks the universe for something more, fate itself answers his prayer. A talisman brush older than time itself sends him to another world, where magic, fortune, and danger await. Now, the world is at his fingertips. He has a new life, a new body, and can wield the five elements. It’s too bad his new home is a place where might makes right, and immortal cultivators and demons fight at the drop of a hat. But where the divine brush goes, danger follows.

The Complete Book of Five Rings is an authoritative version of Musashi's classic The Book of Five Rings, translated and annotated by a modern martial arts master, Kenji Tokitsu. Tokitsu has spent most of his life researching the legendary samurai swordsman and his works, and in this book he illuminates this seminal text, along with several other works by Musashi.

He was the world’s richest man. Now, he’s a servant with zero talent. But in a world of immortals, hard work beats destiny—especially when you can see the Progress Bar. Kael had it all: islands, armies, and a fortune that could buy nations. Then he died and woke up in the brutal Star River Sect. No longer a billionaire, he is now a lowly servant, stripped of dignity. To make matters worse, he is a "Hollow"—a mortal born with no Spirit Root. In this dog-eat-dog cultivation world, that’s a death sentence. He is destined to be cannon fodder, or worse, a lab rat for the sect’s ...

Their depravity and thirst for blood appears unstoppable. The Overlord, and other fiends, control the Demon World, which rules from the shadows, spreading fear while reaping the rewards of unfettered power. Their objective is clear – total destruction. However, their forces are hidden and must be brought into the light. Heroes are not born but are merely brave individuals who have found the courage to uphold freedom. They stand as sentinels ...

The ashes of the Winter Festival settled, but peace was a luxury I couldn't afford. The threats were escalating, and staying put meant stagnation. If I wanted to face what was coming, I had to get stronger, even if it meant leaving Waybound's walls behind.

In Earth to Hell, Chan launches the characters from her Dark Heavens trilogy (White Tiger, Red Phoenix, Blue Dragon) on a new adventure that will take them from the teeming streets of Hong Kong through the portals of Hell to set free a friend - as demons and devils rise up to challenge them in life-or-death battle, forcing Emma Donahoe Chen, wife of God of the Northern Heavens, to seek the help of a sworn foe, the fearsome Demon King.

Mike Hagen, an American nicknamed "Crybaby", became one of those chosen to be given an augmented reality interface. However, his favorite game was an MMA fighter - possibly, for the reason that he'd never fought in real life, and the interface adapted itself to him.

Kumandra’s first-ever Talent Showcase is only a week away, and Raya, her friend Boun and his siblings are determined to win the Grand Prize with their delicious new dishes! The key ingredient is the fabled dragon spice that makes everything taste magical. The only problem—no humans have ever found it.

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

He was born anew in a world where martial arts were indistinguishable from magic. He only received a neuronet and meaningless desires from his past life. What lies ahead? He dreamed of adventure and freedom, but those dreams were taken away from him. The same way his mother, father, and sister had been taken away. They took the kingdom, they took his own destiny. But he is willing to wage a war, against the whole world if need be, to bring everything back.
