Lucas Ashworth was born into a dying body and a crumbling world. Orphaned, sick, and talentless, he barely survived the Day of Awakening when the System descended and turned Earth into a battlefield of monsters and Towers.

Five years later, still stuck at Level 11 with no talent and no future, Lucas faces his end on a blood-stained street as a red Abyss Gate opens beside him. High-level Gifted arrive to fight the monster — but they leave him to die.

In his final moments, something ancient stirs inside the frail young man with snow-white hair.

The System has one last card to play… and this time, it might not let him stay weak.

"Shh, shut up!" Daniel hissed through gritted teeth, his hot breath grazing her ear as she screamed beneath him.
"The hall is not that big—everyone heard you."
She met his gaze, mischief glinting in her eyes. "Who cares?" she whispered, breathless. "Maybe I should scream—let Aria hear every last minute of it. Looks like you need a push to finally end things with her."
Aria had walked into the office with lunch in her hands and love in her heart—only to find her husband buried in his secretary, moaning like a man possessed.
What hurt more than the betrayal… was the fact that he didn't even deny it. When Aria confronted his mistress, Daniel stepped in—not to defend his wife, but to protect the other woman.
Shattered and humiliated, Aria fled—to a members-only nightclub where the rich and heartbroken go to forget. One drink turned into two, and by morning, she woke up tangled in silk sheets… and beside a mysterious stranger with a wicked smile and a tempting offer:
"One date. No games. No lies. Just you and me."
Will she continue in her marriage or leave with the stranger who requested for a date?"

Arnold Blaze, a ruthless and calculated tycoon, has built his empire with an iron will, sealing deals and crushing competitors without hesitation. His life has always been defined by power and control—until Lilith steps into the picture. Mysterious and fiercely independent, Lilith challenges Arnold in ways he's never encountered, igniting a fire within him that shakes the very foundation of his disciplined world. From their first chaotic meeting—an accidental encounter at a nightclub—Arnold finds himself drawn to Lilith in ways he can't explain. She’s not just another conquest; she’s the one woman he can’t dominate or figure out. The passion between them is undeniable, but it comes with a price: Lilith is wrapped in secrets, and her past is as dangerous as Arnold’s present. As their relationship deepens, Arnold is forced to confront the one thing he’s always avoided—his own emotions. The stakes rise as his rivalry with Victor Sterling, the CEO of a competing company, takes a dark turn. A fierce battle for dominance ensues between Blaze Enterprises and Sterling Industries, with Arnold poised to strike a deal that could solidify his power forever. But just as he’s on the brink of victory, Lilith becomes a target in the cutthroat world of corporate warfare. As secrets from both their pasts unravel, Arnold faces a choice: protect the empire he has spent his life building or risk everything for the woman who’s captured his heart.

As the eldest daughter of North America’s most feared Mafia family, the Romanos, I married Matteo purely for love. For five years, everyone constantly envied me, thinking I was the luckiest woman alive.

Until I opened that video file.

The screen flickered to life, and my world violently collapsed.

The woman he had completely pinned against the wall, thrusting into her with feral desperation, was Valentina. His sweet, innocent adopted sister. The girl we had both carefully grown up with.

And the hands gripping her waist so tightly they bruised? They bore the exact wedding band I had lovingly slipped onto Matteo’s finger.

"Oh God, brother… you're so hard. If your perfect wife knew you were deep inside me right now, she’d lose her mind."

"Good girl, then stop talking about that boring piece of wood."

My refined, elegant husband was groaning, his voice filthy and depraved between loud, wet slaps of skin. "Squeeze tighter, fuck... You drive me insane, baby. The moment I successfully drain all her family’s stock, you’ll be the true mistress of this whole estate."

Every sweet nothing he had ever whispered to me was a calculated lie, designed to completely destroy me.

Those two despicable cheaters believe they have successfully won. They think my marriage was built on submission.

Well, since this rising Mafia star completely forgot that I am a Romano first and a wife second, it’s severely past time I gave him a taste of my own wicked performance.

Playtime is over. Matteo thinks he can steal my empire while burying his face in his sister’s bed?

I am going to carefully tear down his "perfect husband" facade piece by bleeding piece, and aggressively send them both straight to hell.

“Honey, I'm on a business trip. I'll bring you and the girls back gifts when I get back.”
James and I have been married for many years, and he has always been the model husband in everyone's eyes.
I never doubted him, until this moment, when I saw on the live broadcast a back view of someone who looked a lot like James walking past the camera, accompanied by a woman.

Evelyn's eyes grew wide with shock as she stared at the dashingly handsome man standing before her. His bright smile reached his eyes and matched the safistication that he carried. The poor man that she had known was no longer poor.
"Goodday, Evelyn, missed me?" With a powerful, manly voice that demanded an audience from everyone nearby, Austin questioned her.
Just three years ago, Evelyn had done the unthinkable by succumbing to her rich family's pressure and choosing to marry another man, thus breaking Austin's heart.
Now Austin is back, richer than ever, and he makes it known that he is out for revenge and that he will have Evelyn, no matter how much he would have to pay to get her to become his.
Will his hatred for Evelyn be greater than his hate for her?

In a world plagued by chaos, Christopher Sylvester discovers he possesses unique powers granted by a mysterious system.

"I am an Exalted, I am an unleashed system, one whose potential is boundless and is extremely scarce in the entire multiverse, you can refer to me as Milady."

Driven by a desperate need to save his ailing mother, he joins a group of survivors led by Sarah. As they navigate a transformed world, a mysterious portal opens up and sucks them into it, bringing them to an unknown world, leaving no access back to earth.

In this new world they were found at the bottom of the food chain, and they had to struggle with their strong potentials to become terrifying juniors, amongst all obstacles and ridicules on their part.

The world was shaken to its core; the Supreme Warlord was dead, and the Specters and Dark Orcs could raid the Blue Planet once again. When all hope seemed lost for Keith who couldn't awaken his talent just like every other member of his clan, the Immortal Mage System was granted to him and his life changed forever.

[Immortal Mage System is extracting Curse...]
[Curse Extraction completed].
[Congratulations, you are bless!]

They executed his father.
Burned his family name.
Left him to die in the gutters beneath the city.

But they made one mistake.

They let Zyno Veridian survive.

In the shadows of Eryndor’s brutal underworld, Zyno awakens the Kingmaker System — a mysterious power that grows stronger through fear, loyalty, conquest, and control.

Every gang he crushes makes him stronger.
Every territory he conquers expands his empire.
Every enemy he destroys brings him closer to the truth behind his father’s execution.

Now the elites who once laughed at the fallen heir are beginning to fear his name.

Because Zyno isn’t fighting to survive anymore.

He’s building a kingdom.

And when the city finally burns…

He’ll be the one sitting on the throne.

Avery lost everything the day her father betrayed the Silver-Ridge Pack.
Branded a traitor. Blamed for her sister's death. Sold to the very Alpha her father once betrayed.
Lucian Draveth is blind. Merciless. A monster whispered about in fear. A man who sees Avery as nothing more than a property.
But Avery refuses to submit.
"You want a chance, Avery? Fine. Let's play a game." His voice is calm.
"The main gate is half a mile through the forest. If you reach it and pass through before I lay a hand on you… you are free."
My breath hitches. "And if you catch me?"
"Then you stop fighting and come back. Run."
Five minutes. Half a mile. One blind Alpha hunting her through the dark.
Avery runs. Not because she believes she'll win but because she refuses to break.
The closer Avery gets to freedom, the more she realizes something is wrong. Lucian is hiding something far worse than cruelty.
And when Avery learns why he refuses to let her go, revenge stops being enough.
In a world where the Moon Goddess chooses mates, Avery must decide: destroy the monster or survive loving one.

The lone wolf... is about to go on a hunt!

Alexander Del Ryo is a poor man of 45 years, with a mediocre life, overweight, living apart from others, but everything changes the day of his death. Trying to save a girl ends up seriously injured, knowing that this was his end, he asks God for his life, but to his surprise this answers him and listening to his pleas gives Alexander another chance, returning him to the past in which he is 17 years old, but this time will be different because in his phone he has an application that he had never seen, an application called The King Legend System, an application that will change his life, involving him in a world of gangs where he will fight to be the king.

Synopsis

In a single devastating evening, he lost it all. His promising career, his hard-earned place at a top-tier university, and the woman he planned to marry. Framed for a crime he didn’t commit, brutally beaten by those he once trusted, and cast aside like trash, Damien Vale stood on the crumbling edge of an abandoned overpass, ready to let the darkness claim him.

Until a crimson interface ignited in the air before him:

[Rebate System Activated]

Every connection he forges, every calculated risk he takes, and every ounce of influence he invests in the right people will return a hundredfold — in power, wealth, secrets, and absolute control.

From the lowest pit of betrayal and ruin, Damien is about to rewrite his destiny. What was taken from him will be returned ten times over. Those who destroyed him will watch everything they cherish crumble. Armed with an unstoppable system and a merciless new mindset, he will build an empire from the shadows, surround himself with unstoppable allies, and savor every second of his ruthless comeback.

Damien Vale is no longer the man they broke.
He is the storm they never saw coming

Kylie hated him for being a notorious playboy. She used to hate him because he changed his girls like how he changes his clothes.

She felt sorry for the women who were made to cry and played with.

What if one day she realizes her own temptation?

What if back then she felt sorry for the girls he made cry, but this time she’s crying because of him.

Is it about love? Or is it just lust?

Betrayed and humiliated by his girlfriend in front of Los Angeles’ elite, Jared Knox thought that was the worst night of his life — until a car slammed into him, leaving him for dead.

He should have perished on that cold, wet street. But when he awakened, he was no longer just a powerless waiter. He had been chosen by the Destiny Overwrite System, a god-like power capable of overwriting fate, granting him the ability to rise from the ashes and make everyone who wronged him pay.

Prince Kaelen Morvath is a joke. Crippled, weak, and born from a low-born maid, he is the shame of the mighty Morvath Empire. His brothers beat him for sport, his father exiles him to a ruined border town, and his fiancé deserts him. They all think he will die quietly in his wheelchair.
But darkness answers his despair. Kaelen hooks up with an ancient Demon System. He gains the power of absolute mind control, but it costs his own lifespan. For every soul he chains, his hair turns silver and his heart grows colder.
When the Empire forces him into a political marriage with Lady Aurelia—a ruthless, brilliant noblewoman who despises weakness—she expects a submissive puppet. Instead, she steps into a web of absolute terror. While the royal family laughs at the "crippled outcast," Kaelen is already sitting in the shadows, pulling the strings of their generals, their wives, and their crown. When the masks finally fall, the face-slapping will shake the empire to its roots.

After Grandpa passed away, he left two inheritances behind.
One was an underground shelter costing over a hundred million yuan.
The other was a crumbling old house on the brink of collapse in the village.
My younger sister Su Rou rushed to pick the underground shelter first, so I settled for the old house.
No one expected an extreme cold apocalypse to descend just days later.
Su Rou moved into the shelter with her boyfriend.
But her boyfriend leaked the gate password, attracting a mob of thugs.
Su Rou was reduced to their plaything, trapped in a fate worse than death.
As for me, I discovered the old house’s cellar connected to a natural underground hot spring. I managed to survive by sheer luck.
When Su Rou heard the news, she was consumed by envy. She led the thugs straight to me, forcing me to take her place.
"Sister, you’ve always been the nicest to me since we were kids. You’ll save me, right? You take my place and serve them instead."
I could no longer endure the humiliation. I set fire to the place and died alongside them all.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the very moment we chose the inheritances.
Seeing Su Rou pick the run-down old house without the slightest hesitation, I knew she had also been reborn.
I bowed my head to hide all my emotions, then silently chose the underground shelter.
My dear sister… that drafty, ramshackle old house is nowhere near as wonderful as you think it is.

At Lycan Academy, power is everything. Rank decides your future, your survival, and whether anyone remembers your name. For nineteen-year-old Justin Hatchett, the verdict is already clear: systemless, talentless, and worthless.

Until the day the stone beneath the academy cracks.

Something ancient wakes beneath the school. Something forbidden. Something that chooses Justin when no one else will. Suddenly, the boy with nothing is hearing what Lycans think, sensing power before it moves, and growing stronger in ways the academy was never meant to allow. Every answer only opens a deeper wound. Every victory pulls him closer to the beast sleeping under the world.

And the more Justin evolves, the more the world pushes back.

The academy wants to control him.
The hidden powers beneath the throne want to use him.
And the girl everyone wants is the only one who sees him clearly enough to become his greatest anchor, his deadliest weakness, and the one person who can keep him from losing himself completely.

But something even bigger is coming.

A buried truth. A split identity. A world beneath the world. And a throne that was never meant for one king.

If Justin survives long enough to uncover what he really is, he may become the strongest Lycan alive.

Or the thing that ends them all...

A fast-burning werewolf progression fantasy/litRPG packed with forbidden power, academy politics, explosive transformation, and a slow-burn romance that becomes impossible to ignore...

"When you enter THE OFF LIMIT, you can't get out again.
The only way is to survive, and win.
There is no losing.
You must survive."

Ethan Mannon got the game THE OFF LIMIT by accident. The game significantly changed Ethan's life, who was on the verge of death. However, THE OFF LIMIT is something very dangerous. Will Ethan survive to get his wish or try to destroy THE OFF LIMIT?

After a brutal humiliation turns Aria Collins into the campus joke, she decides revenge isn’t enough—she wants power. And the fastest way to get it is by stealing the one thing her enemy wants most.
Zane Parker.
The problem? Aria has no idea how to make a guy like him notice her.
So she makes a reckless offer to the four most dangerous boys on campus—the Steel brothers… who are now her stepbrothers.
At dinner, she slides a paper across the table.
“I want sex education.”
Reed’s slow grin spreads across his face. “You want us to teach you?”
“Yes,” Aria says calmly.
“Okay then, Spread your legs, Aria.” His tone left no room for argument, and my heart stuttered at the command.
Jasper released my hand, leaning back slightly but keeping his eyes locked on mine. “Now touch yourself,” he said, his voice low and deliberate. “Show us how well you’ve learned this first lesson.”
My fingers trembled as I reached down, my mind spinning as I tried to process what was happening.
Reed’s voice was a murmur near my ear, his breath warm against my skin. “Good girl, finger yourself harder. Let us see.”
I couldn’t look at them, couldn’t meet their eyes. My fingers brushed against myself hesitantly, and a small gasp escaped my lips as sensation sparked through me. I felt exposed, vulnerable, but also…hot between my legs.
Cole stepped closer, his hand hovering near mine as if to guide me. “Press harder,” he instructed, his hot words making me feel hotter. “Oh baby girl.. You are coming.”

After facing ruthless betrayals in the hands of his wife, who attempted to murder him with the help of her lover, he awakened an amazing system. And now, he's back as a miracle doctor, top assassin, the most popular super star, and a filthy rich business mogul, determined to leave them with a belly full of bile and regrets.

However, evil forces arise all around him, trying to suppress his growth. The more he weeds out the evil, the more they sprout up, entangling him in a never ending circle of daredevil adventures. Now Alvin must face the greatest of evil or die fighting, because the system’s gifts never came free. Having a cheat system which gives you unlimited wealth was not the problem, staying alive long enough to enjoy them was.

The story takes place in the Arcadia Empire, a world where magic controls everything.
Strong mages are respected like kings, while weak people are treated badly.
The most important place in the story is the Imperial Arcane Academy, the strongest magic academy in the empire. Students from noble families and different kingdoms come there to become powerful mages.
But hidden under the empire are dark secrets, dangerous monsters, ancient ruins, forbidden powers, and evil organizations searching for the mysterious Arcane Heir System.

Ryker Hale’s sister died during an unauthorized neural enhancement trial. Three years passed before he uncovered the lab, the records, and what really happened.
And then, a countdown: 100 days until dimensional rifts rip through Earth, triggering the collapse of civilization.
It sounded absurd, until he tested the prediction. Three events, each deemed impossible, unfolded exactly as forecasted. The world had 100 days left, and he was the only one who knew.
One dose of the enhancement remained, the same experimental technology that killed Mira. It came with an 87% fatality rate. Two paths lay ahead: face extinction in three months with no power, or risk transformation. He chose the later.
Now, Ryker sees disasters before they happen. He calculates odds with precision, and detects order in apparent chaos. A timer is permanently etched into his sight: 99 DAYS, 18 HOURS, 14 MINUTES
His first decision: stay silent. No warnings. His second: survive at any cost. Let everyone else face the fire. But then very choice rescues one person and every choice dooms another.
The dimensional breaches have begun, and Ryker begins to understand: the real danger isn’t the coming apocalypse.
It’s him. The more intelligent he becomes, the more humanity slips away. In 100 days, the world ends. But the true horror is who or what he will become by then.

Endure living in the same house as her notoriously sexy stepbrothers.

Kane Cross died at his desk at 2:47 AM.

He woke up in hell.

No class. No skills. No tutorial. Just ash, a dead world, and a System notification blinking in his vision like a bad joke.

DESIGNATION: NULL
RECOMMENDATION: IMMEDIATE TERMINATION

In Aethon, your class is your worth. Your rank is your right to breathe. And a Null is not a person. A Null is a problem to be erased.

They sent hunters. Then a purge timer. Then something worse.

But Kane spent seven years building game systems for a living. He knows how engines work. He knows every system has a logic. Every rule has an edge. Every god has a backdoor.

He has no class. No rank. No name in their registry.

Good.

They can't kill what they can't see.

And Kane Cross is just getting started.

The System has run this world for a thousand years.

It has never met anyone like him.

Excerpt

"What were you trying to do, Qiyara?" My eyes devour the harshness of his hungered swallow and his clenched trembling fist set against the wall. His raging heat that bounds me within, I find unfathomably irresistible.

"I was merely dancing, Cronus." A feverish breathless lie I spout engraving the way the tip of his hot tongue peeks out his mouth to caress his plump lower lip. I wish to obtain a taste of what he can offer.

My ample breasts heave achingly to stroke his wicked flesh, his eyes set aflame to my words for he knows I hold no truth. Then I shall gladly be a sinner, his sinner.

"If you were trying to make me jealous so that I would lose my control and ravish you then you are wrong. I have trained to be a master of control since I was a mere pup. Do not test me." He does not understand, my desperation for him to ram himself raw & deep within me.

"You won't touch me." I move forward swiftly to taste the nape of his neck with a seductiveness. My hand descends his sculpted flesh to embrace his straining girth that is fastened under his jeans. Succumb to me, my male.

He seizes my wrist with brutality. "You are still young, you are not ready." He is too much of an honourable male for me.

"Fuck me, Cronus. Take me against this wall." I am relentless in my lewdness. I lure him into my den.

"Stop it, Qiyara!"

Blazing eyes meet his with a formidable determination. "Then I will keep going against you. I shall be the devil for I will entice you because I ache to feel it."

"Feel what?" He questions nose flaring, his wrath to my stubbornness soaring.

"You lose control."


The forbidden fruit, that was what Cronus was to me. He was one of my brother's closest friends and the most sought-after male who many females from diverse packs fawned over praying he would end up being hers. He was a charmer indeed for with those flirty smiles of his and genuine kindness he enthralled many including me. He was thirteen years older than me but I always had a thing for older males so it started out as a covert crush until I too stood in line with the rest of the females hoping to claim him as mine. However, my position in that line of thirsty females was not last as I had expected but first for Cronus ended up being my mate just as I yearned for, the moon's gift.

Forbidden fruit? Not anymore, Cronus is mine and I am going to gobble this male up.

Ethan Ashworth had nothing — no money, no family, no future. Just a rundown room, a handsome face that brought him nothing but pain, and the daily beatings from rich bullies who saw him as trash.

Then came the brutal ambush behind the school building. Left bleeding and alone as the weekend began, Ethan finally gave up on life.

That was when the voice spoke.

[Bloodline Legacy Contract activated.]

Suddenly, the frail orphan from the slums was thrust into another world — a realm of magic, kings, and monsters. With a mysterious system at his side and a sword in his hand, Ethan must complete deadly missions to grow stronger.

Because back home, the rich still rule… and he has a score to settle.

Arthur lost everything because of the betrayal committed by his fiancée and half-brother. He was abused, then thrown off a cliff without mercy. Just when he thought he was going to die, Arthur mysteriously gained strength and his body returned to normal as if he had never been abused.

Will Arthur succeed in regaining everything that was taken from him?

Elias Verne, the invisible and powerless porter of the Azure Guild, endured humiliation for twenty-two long years with no hope of ever mattering. But one forbidden dungeon is about to change his life, and he is going to make the world pay dearly for every year they looked through him.

I was the reincarnation of the Ancient Star God and the fated mate of the Obsidian Dragon King, Ignis.

For seven years, I nearly bled my divine blood dry to break his curses. Everyone knew I loved him unconditionally.

Until his cold sneer shattered it all.

"Seraphina has laid my egg. After the Hunting Festival, I'll crown her as my queen. Keep Elara around to placate the Alliance. She's so madly in love with me, she'll gladly be a shield for them."

Something snapped deep within my chest. My empathy veins—the very magic that bound my emotions to him—shattered.

No heartbreak. No hysteria. That suffocating love was erased in an instant. Looking at Ignis now was like looking at a worthless stone.

I calmly returned to the temple and activated the marriage decree sent by the Elven High King, Aurelius.

The realm portal was charging. Departure: three days.

With her heart still hurting from her breakups with Cristiano and Shane, she will not allow her magazine to use her for another love experiment.Which is fine by them, because they want to send her off on a different kind of trip: to prove that someone suffering from a breakup can avoid a knee-jerk rebound affair and manage NOT to fall in love. To emphasize the point, they will NOT assign her a new tour guide. Instead, Keira will take a cruise to the Scandinavian countries and have to navigate herself.Keira is thrilled to accept the assignment. There is nothing she wants more than to be alone, and go to the Northern climes, where she can cool her head, and where surely she will not find love.But Keira does not anticipate the beauty of Copenhagen and of Stockholm (“the Paris of the North”) or the stunning hospitality of the Scandinavians.With Christmas on the way, resisting a new love may be harder than she thinks….A wholesome romantic comedy that is as profound as it is funny, LOVE LIKE THEIRS is book #4 in a dazzling new romance series that will make you laugh, cry, and will keep you turning pages late into the night—and will make you fall in love with romance all over again.Book #5 will be published soon!“Sophie Love's ability to impart magic to her readers is exquisitely wrought in powerfully evocative phrases and descriptions….[This is] the perfect romance or beach read, with a difference: its enthusiasm and beautiful descriptions offer an unexpected attention to the complexity of not just evolving love, but evolving psyches.

In the neon-drenched streets of Seoul, reality hides a hidden layer. The ultra-rich live in luxury high-rises and gated Cheongdam/Gangnam estates with "Static" comfort — private drivers, endless deliveries, and lives untouched by hardship. Meanwhile, the masses in the moon villages and back-alley slums are throttled by debt, overwork, corrupt task forces, and the daily grind of "Hell Joseon."

Minjun, a low-tier scrapper and street hustler in the shadows of Guryong Village (a shantytown squeezed between Gangnam’s gleaming towers), barely survives by salvaging electronics, scrap metal, and discarded tech from construction sites and flooded alleys near the Han River. One night, during a fatal fall while scavenging, his consciousness glitches. Instead of dying, he awakens with a fractured interface and forbidden [Administrator Rights].

Unlike ordinary people trapped in the system of apps, credit scores, and surveillance, Minjun can now see the world’s hidden code. He can [CUT]friction from a scooter tire, [COPY] the speed of a delivery rider, or [PASTE] the weight of exhaustion onto a corrupt enforcer. But every edit burns his stamina and humanity — erasing memories, emotions, and pieces of who he was. To fix a broken city ruled by untouchable elites, Minjun must climb the social ladder and confront Chairman Seojun Kang, the powerful figure at the heart of the hidden System. The cost of liberation is his own soul, one command at a time

Rachel Wood wakes after having just taken the leap of faith with Benji with the Blue Tablet to find he is mortally injured. Rachel embarks on a journey to save her love—a journey which will take her deep into the heart of the gravest danger. Is she willing to give up her life to save her one and only true love? How much is she willing to sacrifice?

“You’re mine now,” Viktor said, advancing closer.

Lyra shrank back. “I—I’m not…”

“You are, Lyra. Whether you like it or not.”


Taken captive in a deadly game of revenge, Lyra is at Viktor’s mercy. He is cold, heartless and a ruthless mafia don.

The rule for her freedom is simple: she will never see her sister again.

But as days trapped in his world turn into weeks, she begins to see what is beneath his cold exterior.

Will she fall for him? Or escape at the slightest chance she gets?

He was once the most feared assassin in the martial world—a blade that killed without hesitation, a shadow that left no survivors. But when Jin Mu-Kang regresses, he awakens a cultivation system unlike any other—one that grows only through good deeds. Save lives. Show mercy. Protect the weak. Every act of kindness makes him stronger… while every drop of blood threatens to erase him from existence.

There’s just one problem—his past is drenched in sin. The system reveals a cruel truth: the karma he earns isn’t a reward, but a debt. Every life he saves is merely repaying the countless lives he once took. Fail to balance it, and he won’t just lose his power—he’ll vanish entirely. Now hunted by his former comrades, distrusted by righteous sects, and constantly tempted by the ruthless strength he once wielded, Mu-Kang is forced to walk a path he was never meant to follow.

I’m a dedicated surgeon who once gave up everything for love. I married my childhood sweetheart, only to discover he’d been cheating on our anniversary with my stepsister. I was gaslighted, betrayed, and even hurt by him, while my family took his side and blamed me for everything. I’d had enough. I signed the divorce papers, applied for a three-year overseas program, and decided to walk away from this toxic life. Before I start over, I exposed their ugly truth at their engagement party — no more silence, no more pain. This is my journey of breaking free from a broken marriage, regaining my dignity, and rebuilding my life from zero.

Synopsis

Nineteen-year-old orphan Ethan built everything from nothing — three years of pizza deliveries, a cheap suit, and one promotion away from a decent life. Then his girlfriend chose his childhood bully over him, a bullet ended up in his chest, and he was dumped on the pavement like garbage.

He should have died.

Instead, he woke up with a system that turns real money into power, dungeons into opportunity, and patience into revenge.

Lawrence Luther doesn't know what's coming and nobody else does too.

But Ethan has always been good at building things quietly — and this time, he's building something that cannot be taken from him.

In a world ravaged by monsters and ruled by the strong, the weak have no place.

Kael Voss lost his entire family in the brutal monster invasion. At the Talent Academy, he awakened what everyone called the most useless ability — the power to merely detect other people’s talents. Mocked, beaten, and starved daily by those with superior powers, Kael endured six months of pure hell.

Broken beyond repair, he chose to end it all.

As he fell from the rooftop of the nine-story academy building, a mysterious black orb — the final gift from the late Master Harlan — finally activated.

[ARE YOU READY TO BECOME A HERO?]

With his second chance at life, the once-worthless boy will rise from the ashes. What was deemed the weakest talent will become the foundation of the strongest power the world has ever seen.

Watch Kael Voss rewrite his destiny — from bullied trash to the Reborn Hero who will shake the very foundations of this talent-ruled world.

The three-year mission is over, and the system logs off. The NPC "wife" Morgana immediately tears off her mask: "Fool, did you really think we loved you? We've been lying to you for three years!" The "stepson" Damian also shouts: "The fake dad has been fooled!" I calmly reply: "And then?" — This is just a job to earn money to save my critically ill wife and daughter in real life.
When they chased me into the real world to "take revenge," they discovered that I was the highest-ranking judge in the Pantheon.
"Here, I am the rule." The moment I pressed the Delete key, they finally understood what it meant to achieve a dimensional reduction attack.

I stare at him, watching his chest expand.

How is it that someone so strong, so powerful, so dangerous to find become so small when faced with an adversary? The adversary being me.

I see him, knees on the cold tiled floor, his eyes fixated on me in equal parts disbelief. I disconnect my vision from his small form, looking briefly at what I'm wearing.

This morning when I woke up, the sun was shining, snow melting on my front lawn. My kids were sleeping, my husband gone, as usual, working, making money.

Everything was normal except when I woke up this morning, I received a message. This message contained a lot of things I've been waiting to hear but one part, in particular, stood out and made today different. This person on his knees in front of me was the big difference in my day. So when I woke up this morning and decided what I was going to wear I decided I would not wear black because black represented the sign of mourning. I wasn't going to wear white. After all, white represented a sign of new beginnings and not blue.

Blue, well blue was a sign of trust and green with a side of healing so when I woke up this morning I decided I would wear beige, it was an indifferent color something that matched any mood any desire any belief it doesn't necessarily represent anything but nor did it negate anything.

'You know what is so satisfying about killing you?"

'What?" He inquires with that tilt of his mouth and thin lips I have seen a time or two. Many women found this man handsome. sexy even. I was not different, but I knew more than many of them what made him, his colors, the layers that fell away leaving only the middle left and when you looked at it with naked eyes you'd see it was rotten.

I laugh.

'I became a player in this cat and rat game much later. I find it comical that I am the one who gets to catch you, considering there are many people who started in the beginning. What is even funnier is I am the one who would get to kill you."

'You didn't catch me Mrs. Catelli."He says my surname with a pinched face as though he can't bear the sound of it coming from his lips.

'Then what do you oppose I did?"

He smiles, but it is not a nice one. It is filled with the ugliness which has corrupted him over the years.
