Paladin
A83/100Web serial by Komikhan
When the first derelict alien spacecraft fell to Earth, humanity reverse-engineered its technology and entered a new Golden Age. Hundreds more ships followed over the years, each spurring greater leaps forward. One unassuming craft that fell on Siberia in 2021 passed unnoticed — but it contained something beyond miraculous technology. Three years later, in a top-secret underground facility in eastern Colorado, an army of Paladin Mobile Infantry Suits was being built to turn the tide against the alien incursion consuming the planet. Humanity fell before that could happen. Sam, an engineer responsible for overseeing the facility, is now alone — his only company a base AI and an army of empty suits. With the world gone to hell and the things that caused it still living above, he decides he is much better off staying exactly where he is. Unfortunately, that is no longer an option.

#1 Paladin
4.03· 7.6KBrash, cocky, and nearly unbeatable with a sword, Sam of Haywood is the most promising Paladin trainee in the kingdom of Thule — and knows it. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and her father intends to marry her off to a Paladin rather than let her become one. Disguised as a boy, Sam leaves home to fight demons — the most dangerous monsters in Thule — alongside the kingdom's elite warriors. Her assigned trainer is none other than the hero of her childhood, who has not recognized her yet. Meanwhile, a fellow trainee named Braeden harbors a dark past as a half-demon that may be unforgivable. As demons wreak havoc and rebellion stirs in the West, a war between men is coming — and Sam must pick a side.

#2 Uriel
3.86· 95The kingdom of Thule stands on the brink of civil war between the Paladins and the Uriel, each claiming the right to serve as Thule's protector. Once a Paladin trainee, Lady Samantha — Sam — has been named a traitor by the Paladins' High Commander, with a bounty on her head. Only Sam and her friends know the truth: the High Commander holds a dark alliance with the demons that have ravaged mankind for millennia, commanding them as easily as his own men. Worse, he can control Braeden through blood magic long thought extinct. Sam and Braeden set sail in search of a way to nullify the High Commander's power — but the secrets they uncover reveal a threat far greater than civil war.
