‘Is this shit actually happening to me?’That was Kael Carter’s first reaction when he saw a bunch of priests kowtowing in front of him, worshiping him as the ‘Hero.’For a good while, he actually thought it was just another one of his dreams, until reality hit him.It was real…He was actually summoned to a fantasy world where magic exists!A world of Beast Tamers!A world where Humans and Magic Beasts grow stronger together!A world Kael, as its supposed Hero, was meant to protect!His response?“Fuck no!”He might be brave in the comments section, but who the hell takes that seriously!?How was he supposed to protect an entire world when even opening a jar of pickles was like a life-or-death battle to him!?He was no Hero!And to prove it, he decided to place his hand on the ‘Orb of Resonance’ that was supposed to ‘confirm his identity as the Hero.’But then,[Ding!]He heard a sound.[Talent Awakened.][Talent Name: Dragon Genesis][Talent Rank: SSS Rank][Description:][Power to turn any beast with even the slightest trace of Dragon Blood in them into a full-grown Dragon.]‘What in the hell…?I—I can create Dragons…?’Kael couldn’t believe what he was seeing.In a world where Dragons were living Legends—creatures of unparalleled strength, wisdom, and power,In a world where entire Kingdoms tremble at the sight of just one Dragon.He could create… an army of them?

- Description from Novelupdates

I reincarnated as Luna, a supporting character who is accused of ruining the heroine and hero’s relationship, and is mu*dered. I’m not interested in someone else’s man, but the heroine’s friends bully me every day. “Why are you trying to get close to someone who’s already taken?” “That’s right, please stop! Why are you doing this?” “Stop doing such terrible things!” So Luna decides to announce it in front of everyone. “I don’t want someone like Fersen even if you beg me to take him so stop bothering me. I’d rather date Anthes Vincent, who’s rumored to be insane.” And soon she meets someone who she never expected to meet…… “I heard you have an interest in me? The truth is, I do too. Is it a coincidence?”

“Mana to breathe, mana to eat, mana to fucking live,”Inhale: -0.001 MP… oops! You're out of mana points.(Pay-to-breathe RPG.)Humanity's last walled stronghold._____In the world Elio lives, every gasp of air comes at a price.A floating indestructible book for every human, a magical system that turns survival into a pay-to-breathe RPG.Here, poverty isn't just being broke, it's choking.Surrounded by barren land and a sea of monsters on top of it (No water, just literal monsters), each day is a suffocating dance of survival, a balancing act between mana for air and mana for food.In this economy, holding your breath isn't just a game, it's a retirement plan.Driven by desperation (and the city's miserly rulers that don’t cut anyone a break), Elio dives into the Book System’s trials to save his family.Along the way, he unlocks powers he didn’t ask for and starts to figure out... Who he really is.Immerse yourself in an adventure where one young man's stubborn refusal to become a statistic could spark a revolution. Who knew being a pain in the system's rear could change the world?Because in Elio's world, breathing is just the beginning of the revolution and... he's gasping for change.But hey, who said saving the world had to be all doom and gloom? Join Elio as he kicks monster butt, uncovers ancient secrets, and maybe, just maybe, figures out how to grow a tree or two along the way.__________Warning:May contain traces of world domination, an unhealthy obsession with the periodic table, damage points, progression math, and yes, even a sprinkle of that old “power of friendship” magic. Because sometimes, you need a buddy to help you remember which element does what or even help you calculate those sweet, sweet stats.A quick heads-up:Despite what the cover might suggest, this isn’t a hack-and-slash adventure. Think more along the lines of a turn-based RPG, where strategy and choices matter as much as action. Get ready for a different kind of challenge!If you want to know more about the cover:Yep, that's our first FL crying and crossing the transparent barrier straight into a pixelated, indistinguishable sea of monsters. Because why not mix emotions with chaos? She's crazy like that! (Not really... or is she?)Discord to check the visuals: https://discord.gg/W3CjfC2cw4I’m still working on it in the little moments I find between writing, editing, making more character images, etc.Little by little, we’ll have a Poked... uh, a full SummonDex! Meanwhile, you can check out the ones on Fandom with their... funny descriptions? Or at least I hope so... orzWarning 2 (Privilege 4 and 5):I just wanted to stick to the novel’s level system, so I had to add those '0s'!!! Don’t be an elephant... unless you’re an enormous one... A whale! Seriously, nooooo!You’re going to make me die from the pressure, and I’ll feel terrible!! It’s just one chapter!!! You can wait... But if you’re dirty rich and really, Really, REALLY want to support, well... okay, though I’ll still feel bad!!! orz
