Have Gun, Will Reincarnate: Memoirs of an Isekai Knight
Getting shot in the head sucks. Waking up in a new world after getting shot, though, that has its perks.
Stoner is neither a teenage boy who longs for adventure, nor an outcast dreaming of a place where he might belong. He's a professional soldier, a veteran of twenty years who's spent his whole adult life on the battlefield. He always knew he'd meet his end there. What he didn't expect was for that end to be a new beginning.
There's a war coming to this new world, and a Goddess who needs a soldier to fight it. It'll take all of Stoner's savvy and know-how to bring a new way of fighting to this land of monsters and magic, and the stakes are as high as they can be. After all, if this world falls, Earth is next on the chopping block, along with the family he left behind.

Sweet Silence
Sage is a villain. Not by choice. It just sort of turned out that way, but hey, he's not complaining. Being bad is pretty cool, actually. And while by most people's standards his superpower is pretty lame - muting sound, of all things - he's found it pretty useful when robbing the rich.
Most heroes ignore him. Except one. Lich, the necromancer. Sage didn't know how talking to the dead was considered heroic, but whatever. That's not the problem. The problem is that Lich apparently has a homing beacon locked on Sage specifically, and he keeps getting in Sage's way, despite most heroes not bothering to deal with the small-time villain committing petty theft.
It was annoying, but fine. Sage wasn't all that active in the villainy community anymore anyway. He had just turned thirty, and quite frankly, he was done with this shit. But still, he wanted to go out with a bang, so he planned his final heist: robbing the most powerful man in the city, the governor.
Except, when Sage broke into the governor's house all he found was the governor - dead as a doornail. What's worse is that for the first time in Sage's life, he was no longer invisible. He was found standing over the body, murder weapon in hand.
Now, the entire city of Fairview wants Sage dead, and the only person on earth who can clear his name is his very own necromancer nemesis. For how much they fight, Lich is surprisingly on board with helping Sage...
And so, the two embark on a quest to discover the real killer and clear Sage's name, but the trail leads them to discover some of Fairview's most well-kept and dangerous secrets...
