Combatants Will Be Dispatched!
Turns out, evil takes initiative! With world domination close at hand, the Kisaragi Corporation turns its sights on interstellar conquest, and who better to take over a magical world than two randomly assigned minions—Combatant Agent Six and his android partner Alice?
But Six’s path up the evil corporate ladder won’t be easy—a Demon Lord’s army is hatching its own nefarious plan!
Megalobox 2: Nomad
It only took “Gearless” Joe three months to jab his way from the underground circuit slums to top of the boxing world, becoming the first-ever champion of Megalonia.
But seven years after Joe’s meteoric rise, he finds himself back where he started, hiding behind numerous scars and a new ring name: Nomad.

Letty is having a monster of a bad day. He can’t fly, breathe fire, and was just kicked out of his family’s lair. Hapless and homeless, this beast needs new digs, but where to start? Enter Dearia, the Demon Lord of Real Estate, making buyers’ dreams come true.
Alas, that unique fixer-upper listing shown was infested with a horde of undead squatters—and no fireplace. House-hunting can be a beast!

Full Dive: This Ultimate Next-Gen Full Dive RPG Is Even Shittier than Real Life!
Hiroshi Yuki has just picked up Kiwame Quest, the realest VRMMO ever made. But this RPG is TOO lifelike; he can smell, taste, feel, and when he’s hurt init, his physical body is hurt too.
