The Skill Broker (I Became a Skill Broker in a World That Sells Power)

Sleazyslug
In a world where power is traded through skills, Riven is just a dungeon scavenger—picking through ruins, selling whatever little he finds to survive. The system isn’t built for people like him to rise, and he knows it. Until the day he breaks a skill. Not by using it, but by taking it apart. What he pulls out is useless on its own, but it opens a door no one else can see. With the right pieces and the right base, he can turn ordinary skills into something far more valuable. Riven steps into the underground market, where deals are quiet, profits are high, and mistakes don’t get forgiven. As his modified skills begin to circulate, he starts building influence, and eventually something much bigger—a network that doesn’t just follow the market, but bends it. In a world run by strength, Riven isn’t trying to be the strongest. He’s building something far more dangerous.

Earth's Magical Civilization

Earth is in danger. Demon Lord Shakurri is on the verge of ascending to a Demon King, and as fate would have it, he discovered the coordinates to a dimension called Earth, which contained a vast number of souls required to devour. Luckily for the Earthlings, someone activated an ancient law written in the very fabric of the cosmos: Dimension Law 9ZP3, the Law of Fair Resistance. As such, a neutral faction called the Dimensional Tower was hired to prepare the Earthlings for this upcoming invasion. Zane K. Skylar — a second-generation Ghanaian American who is down on his luck — became part of the first group of chosen Earthlings to prepare for the resistance. His journey, along with many others, will result in either a pointless struggle of a fated-to-be-destroyed world or a legendary tale that will elevate Earth into one of the most brilliant magical civilizations in the infinite dimensions. What to expect: Great power systems, multiple power systems, Magic Innovation, Magic Experiments, Dimension Hopping, Multiple Civilizations, Kingdom Buildings (not in the early stages), Geopolitics, and Late Romance. Anyone who enjoyed the world-building and lore from my former fanfics will enjoy this story. Warnings: This is a Late Romance. Zane will have multiple partners before he settles down with his soul mate. This story takes place in the modern setting, and I will touch upon social issues. Certain modern events will also appear in the story. Inspiration: Overlord, DND, Tower Manhwas. *If the owner of the cover picture wishes me to take it down, comment in one of the chapters and I will do so.
