Mercenary Black Mamba - Chapter 261 - Episode 2: I Should Gain the Rewards of Labor

After years of exile, Marcus is coming back home. A powerful mage with few equals, Marcus lives in a world full of monsters and powerful adepts, many of which have bad histories with him. But he has not come back to pursue vengeance or start a fight. All Marcus wants to do is reconnect with old friends, build himself a house, and maybe train a successor or two.Alas, the world didn’t stop just because Marcus went into exile, and not everyone is content to let go of old grievances. Strange things are happening in the world at large, too, hinting at a looming disaster of unknown nature. Still, where there is a will, there is a way.If nothing else, Marcus has a lot of magical power to throw at problems.+++Zenith of Sorcery is set in its own original setting and isn’t related to Mother of Learning… beyond being written by the same person, of course. This is a more classical fantasy story than my previous one, with a lower level of technology and stuff like elves and dwarves, but it has a lot of worldbuilding effort put into it and its own complex magical system. The story has significant xianxia influences, but isn’t meant to be a xianxia story.For those of you not familiar with my previous work, I write relatively slowly. I intend to publish chapters at the rate of one chapter every three or four weeks, subject to further delays as life intervenes.

After the world was torn apart by the apocalypse, humanity barely managed to hang on. The cities are gone, the night is dangerous, and monsters, ghosts, and bizarre things wait around every corner.Dropped into this mess is Amon, a transmigrator who doesn’t get a sword, magic, or even a proper weapon. Instead, his cheat is something no one else could have imagined—the Lewd Streamer System.While other survivors risk their lives fighting monsters to grow stronger, Amon’s strength comes from something very shameful to most humans: streaming lewd shows to an audience made up of gods, demons, and strange beings watching from across the stars.In a world where power means survival, can his ridiculous system really keep him alive—or will it drag him into even deeper trouble?What you can expect:1) A diverse and branched power progression2) Smut! Along with quite a good amount of Action.3) A great story (I'll try my best!)4) A decent sized harem.What you will not see:1) Netorare (cheating)2) Yuri and Yaoi3) I've seen a lot of Mc's who seem to have tossed their brains away before being born. Here, he'll be normal. Normal cuz a character's intelligence can't exceed the author's and I consider myself a regular person.Maybe's: (Stuff that may or may not happen. I haven't decided.)1) Netori: MC stealing other's women.2) Cosplays and roleplayYeah, that's it.Lastly about the MC:Amon puts himself and his loved ones first. He's logical when it comes to making future plans but he'll lose control if his girls are in danger. He has a trauma and you might guess it in the first chapter and due to this, he doesn't like losing control of situations. The more in control he is, the safer he feels. This changes as he gets close to the girls, learns more about them and trusts them.He is someone who climbed the corporate ladder by suppressing his pride, goals, feelings and putting on layers of masks to please others. And when he takes it off and tries to be normal in his second life, he's overly blunt to the point of not feeling any shame when talking about the most embarrassing topics.------I hope you will all like it!

Ruins stretched across the landscape in the apocalypse after the nuclear war.

If you accidentally survived on the wasteland, then you must be ready to face the endless hunger, ceaseless dangers, the mad zombies at night, and the peculiar mutant creatures that are the aftermaths of the constant radiation.

But for Jiang Chen, this place was heaven.

Mansions stood tall, luxurious cars parked on the street, high tech products and gold abandoned everywhere.

What? You were the president of a game development company before the war? You were responsible for the development of the 3D virtual reality online multiplayer game? Well, that’s great, why don’t you come work for me. The salary is two pieces of bread a day.

iPhone? Ultra thin design? Don’t you see that the phone I invented are thinner than condoms?

Aircraft carrier? Fighter jets? Oh, I have those things as well, but they are designed for space combat.

Watch the story of Jiang Chen, who possessed the ability to travel through space and time, as he witness the creation of an empire stretched across space and time..
