Murim
In Murim, your heartbeat is measured in qi—every meditative breath can double your lifespan and shatter stone, but only the rarest elixirs can speed the climb toward the legendary 500 qi of the tyrannical Heavenly Demon. Ancient China and Korea erupt as the righteous Orthodox clans—pink-petaled Mount Hua swordsmen, gold-robed Shaolin monks, poison-touched Tang assassins—unite to stop the Demonic Cult’s rivers of blood, while neutral Emperors, mercenary beggars, and beast-gods that appear once a century gamble on who will decide the fate of a world where martial arts are the only magic.
The Black Jack Gang
In the blistering heart of 1865's Wild West, the Black Jack Gang stalks frontier towns with surgical precision, turning stagecoach and bank heists into swift, terror‑laden spectacles that leave lawmen scrambling and citizens trembling. Amid the harsh, patriarchal landscape, a disciplined outlaw crew—led by the calm strategist Silas Mercer and bolstered by sharpshooters, a safecracker, and two formidable women who keep the camp running—thrives on intimidation, ingenuity, and the relentless pursuit of freedom in a land where survival demands both grit and cunning.
Wild west
In the sun-scorched frontier of 1880, six-shooters sing above the dust as cowboys, outlaws, and steadfast lawmen carve violent legends along the endless rail-lines and boomtowns. Between the iron rule of the U.S. Marshal and the ancient fury of native warriors fighting to keep their sacred lands, every sunset could be your last whispered prayer before the final gunshot echoes across the prairie.
Ancient Rome Blood & Sand
In Ancient Rome Blood & Sand, the Colosseum is a brutal machine that turns desperate slaves into gladiators, where every swing of steel and drop of blood is a tool of political control and public spectacle. Freedom is a cruel illusion, a fleeting moment before a freed fighter becomes either a feared enforcer or a hunted asset in a city that thrives on violence and the relentless pursuit of survival. No magic.
