M.A.G.I Hunters 1 (M.A.G.I. Hunters #1)


D. Levesque - 2021
    He never allowed anyone to give him anything he didn’t earn. It’s just how he was raised. Well, something was given to him that he didn’t deserve, accidentally. But it’s not something that can be given back: Power. Magical Power. Kevin was given the last vial in existence of a Magical solution. More like it smashed into him. There’s just one problem: he’s human. Humans aren’t supposed to know about the Magical world. Why’s that? Because humans can’t do Magic. Period. Oh, don’t get the wrong idea; Earth knows about Magic. But only in the form of stories. Kevin is about to be rudely introduced to it, and in a painful way. He will also learn that Earth isn’t alone, but Earth will never find out. There is a whole galaxy out there with other worlds that use Magic to travel. Though the worlds are inhabited by those creatures we read about in stories. Such as Werewolves, Vampires, Beasts, Changelings, Fairies, and even Goblins to name a few. But some are still on Earth, if you look hard enough. Though as a human, you might not want to do that. There’s no such thing as spaceships going across the stars. It’s all done by Magical means as Kevin is about to find out. His new trainer, Marrisa, is a no-nonsense kind of gal, with ears and a tail, who doesn’t take crap from anyone. Except, she is about to find that Kevin doesn’t take kindly to her attitude. But it seems that bounty hunters all have chips on their shoulders, and Marrisa’s chip is the size of a barn. Can they work together, or will Kevin have to ditch her and find someone else to train him? No one wants to work with Marrisa, but her bosses are telling her that Kevin’s her problem now. Join the pair as they try to figure out how not to kill each other. And watch the sparks fly between them, especially when a fellow female bounty hunter has a thing for Kevin!

The Gentleman Incubus: A LitRPG Harem Series


E.M. Hardy - 2019
     Next thing he knows, he’s starting to feel a weird hunger that won’t let him be no matter how much he eats. As it turns out, he was assaulted by a Lust Demon while he lay there unconscious, and was himself changed into one when his digital assistant quarantined the threat to save him and disrupted its spell. As a result of the interaction between the sandboxed succubus and the game he was playing at the moment, Glenn now has access to a character sheet full with life points, stats and a long list detailing all his new abilities. All in all, it wouldn’t be that bad if he didn’t learn that those life points are directly tied to his sexual satiation, and should those points reach zero, he would die. Now a Fledgling Incubus, Glenn will have to obey the same rules as other Lust Demons to survive—that is to locate new preys and bed them at all costs. There’s a small problem though. Contrary to regular demons, Glenn isn’t about to just jump on unsuspecting women during their sleep and ravage them until death ensues. And thus, he probably won’t be able to draw enough life points, as killing their victims is the main way for his kind to satiate their hunger. His back against the wall, Glenn will have to explore alternative ways to earn his points and stay alive, and ultimately gain enough experience to level up and add new skills to his repertoire. But first things first, he needs to find women to test his new skills on and experiment. Join Glenn as he builds a harem of willing ladies and discovers that the key to his survival is to concentrate on their pleasure and bring them to orgasm after orgasm... Warning: this book includes harem elements, adult situations, game mechanics and explicit language. Read at your own peril.
