"No matter what wrong I do, I will be forgiven, simply because I am too beautiful!" "A magical princess's journey through a brand new world." "A Marvel universe blending numerous movies, TV shows, and games." ------ Warning: This story contains elements of satire and mockery directed at the U.S. government specifically and Western nations in general. Please exercise discretion before reading. This is another work by the same author as "Transformation in the DC World," which I am currently translating. It is a highly humorous story that seamlessly integrates plots from various other movies. While it remains grounded in the original Marvel Universe, the addition of these diverse film elements keeps the narrative fresh and engaging, preventing it from ever feeling boring. It is truly worth reading! ------ If you enjoy this translation, please consider supporting me here: [patreon.com/irisbenton] There are currently 90 advance chapters available. Thank you all so much!

Kyle broke free. Sadly, punching the leader of a gang of thugs had consequences, and the leader's cronies would beat Kyle to death. But so what?! He didn't regret punching this guy even once! However, a powerful Magic Lady saved Kyle and then did something strange. She offered him a job. Apparently, he would have to go to a different world, a brutal realm where strength was the only law, and become its Overseer. A world where one person could fight thousands of people. A world where gigantic beasts broke mountains. And Kyle? He was just some random guy. He couldn't break mountains. Hell, he could barely fight a single guy, but what was he supposed to do? Reject the offer and get killed? Whether he liked it or not, he had to grow stronger, and while the beginning was tough, he actually found something he really enjoyed. His gigantic hammer. It was exhilarating when beasts exploded into chunks of flesh whenever he struck them. He loved turning boulders into rubble. With his hammer in hand, Kyle would forge a path of destruction through beast hordes and any ancient gods who dare stand in his way. And as his power grew, he became more and more involved in a war between two fundamentally different forces of nature. Join Kyle on his journey to become the Strongest Hammer God! -- Hammer starts at chapter 36 2 chapters every day. Join my Discord: https://discord.gg/EfePH46Aru

"Take me instead." Three words. Guinevere Lunaris trades herself and saves 300 lives. Tied. Gagged. Underestimated by a mile. They chain her to a tree in the snow. Mistake. While running for her life, she meets a stranger in the dark and tells him to hide so he isn’t killed. Twelve hours later, he walks into her father's hall wearing a crown. The man she just told to hide in a hole is Maddox Drakencrest, High King of Velkaris. Ruler of an entire continent. Maddox hears his dragon say ‘mate’ right away. But her wolf is silent. More and more Alpha Kings enter the hall. She catches the tail end of her father’s toast and chokes on her wine. "—leave here with a virgin bride." An auction for her hand turns into a full-out bidding war. Maddox wins. 750 million in gold, three dragon fleets, and an urn full of the bastard who chained her the day before. Every force in Velkaris is betting against a wolf on a dragon throne. The Elders say the queen must be a dragon rider, which is impossible for a woman without dragon blood. The king's half-brother agrees with them, but his solution is a civil war and taking the crown for himself. If his brother’s rebellion wins, Maddox dies and she belongs to him. If the elders win, she goes back to the father who sold her. Neither is happening. Her wolf calls Velkaris home. She's not giving it up. They expect Guinevere to behave like a good little wolf princess and play along with their political games. She says bet.

Existence has already ended once. By something that was not even "something" in any ordinary sense. Unseen, unfelt, and forever forgotten. But what comes after absolute nulity? Affirmation. Endless, reasonless affirmation. An overflowing plenitude that refuses silence. After recreating existence, the Plenitude Without Reason chose once more to participate. For participation is the only way to remain as something without becoming everything. From that Will, Anathasia was born. - Kyle. The person she stayed with through everything. The one who remained by her side as she moved through life... and everything beyond it. After college, they continue living together. Nothing really changes on the surface. But at the same time, things are changing. Not just on Earth, but across realities completely separate from the one they've always known. Old resentments begin to surface. Questions start forming. About meaning, about purpose... about what's left when power stops mattering. Now, somewhere between raising daughters and just trying to live normally, they find themselves dealing with things that don't really have simple answers. The consequences of actions taken eons before they even met. The weight of roles they were never meant to fully understand. And beyond even that, The existence of an Original Creator. The Author... trying to move on from controlling everything. How will the Supreme Being herself... and the one who stands beside her... deal with all of this? The mundane. And the things that go far beyond reality itself? [DISCLAIMER] This is a work of fiction set in a version of modern-day Earth.

Everyone competes on the same court. Daiki Aomine: “The only one who can defeat me is Miyamoto Tokima.” Shintarō Midorima: “He’s the only man I’ve never been able to surpass.” Shōgo Haizaki: “I am the blade in Tokima’s hand.” Makoto Hanamiya: “The thing I regret most was clashing with Tokima. But that’s fine now. I’ve become the second blade in his hand.” Jason Silver: “Before Tokima’s animal instincts, I was nothing more than a helpless dragon.” Nash Gold Jr.: “The moment Tokima knocked me down, I knew— he would become my guiding light.” Yet as Miyamoto Tokima continues his games and his life, he slowly realizes something: He’s only making normal plays. So why does everyone keep turning everything into invincible skills?
