Actus Synopses: Weaving Virtue by Actus is the first book in the Gleam series. Everyone dreams of a second chance at life, but few are granted the opportunity. Selected by wandering angels and sent to a world brimming with magic and cultivation, the chosen get a chance to live in ways only imagined on Earth, where strength and power alone determine their fate.

For Chance, a young man many would agree deserved this fresh start, things weren’t so straightforward. Despite his worthiness, he failed to meet the strict requirements for a second life—until a fateful encounter changed everything. This lucky break secured him passage to a magical world where he could finally forge his destiny.

However, his arrival is anything but smooth. He lands in a sprawling, deadly labyrinth filled with ravenous monsters. Isolated and unprepared, Chance’s only assets are his newfound luck-based magic and an unyielding determination to make his second shot at life count.

Fortunately, he’s built up a lot of good Karma.

Cleaver’s Edge is the first book of the Morcster Chef series by Actus. Arek, a battle-hardened orc, dreams of leaving behind his violent past to perfect the art of cooking—like his signature lasagna topped with fresh basil. But his peaceful life takes a turn when Ming and her band of adventurers hire him as their full-time chef.

Cooking for adventurers means more than just preparing meals; it drags Arek back into the chaos he’s been trying to escape. As old enemies resurface and former allies come knocking, Arek must confront the blood-soaked shadows of his past.

Will he find peace in the kitchen, or will his culinary journey be seasoned with danger?

Blackmist is the first book in Actus’ My Best Friend is an Eldritch Horror LitRPG series.
Damien Vale didn’t have the patience for good things to come his way, so now he’s bound to an Eldritch entity older than time itself. The creature—who insists on being called Henry—has witnessed worlds rise and fall but seems content to lounge around as Damien’s secret companion.

Determined to live a normal life, Damien enrolls in Blackmist, a mage college notorious for its chaos. His goal? Study magic and avoid attention. But keeping Henry’s true nature under wraps is no small feat. If discovered, Damien would be executed on the spot.

Things don’t get easier with a war-scarred instructor, a suspiciously observant dean, and a school environment more dangerous than any battlefield. As ancient secrets unravel, Damien must not only survive his first year but also prevent Henry from bringing about the end of the world—or worse, getting expelled.
