In a decaying world ruled by mega-medical corporations, medicine has become a weapon. Cybernetic healers—known as Medarchs—can rewrite DNA, manipulate nanobots, and decide who lives or dies for the highest bidder. Raymond Briggs, once a prodigy under the powerful Helix Dominion, is betrayed by his mentor, framed for bio-terrorism, and cast into the BioWaste Districts, the toxic slums of Neo-London. There, on the brink of death, a dormant implant in his neural core activates: the Forbidden Healer System, a sentient nanotech interface that offers him unimaginable power. At first, Raymond uses it to survive. Then… to fight back. But as he heals and kills, the System evolves, granting him skills that blur the line between restoration and annihilation. Every use extracts a toll: pieces of his empathy, his humanity, his soul.

In a world where magic is the ultimate corporate currency, one man's ability to bend probability could either save the city—or burn it to the ground. When billionaire CEO Alex Thompson survives an impossible car crash, he awakens with a dangerous gift: the power to manipulate probability itself. In the neon-drenched streets of New Eden, where corporate empires are built on ancient magic and reality bends to those who control it, Alex's newfound abilities make him the most valuable—and hunted—man alive. But when he discovers his trusted assistant Maya is actually a witch sent to monitor him, everything shatters. She was his warden, not his ally. Now, as a malevolent cabal called the Architects emerges to exploit his powers and collapse all probability into one predetermined fate, Alex faces an impossible choice: trust the woman who betrayed him to save humanity's free will, or embrace absolute control and become the monster everyone fears. In a deadly game where trust is illusion and control is corruption, Alex must learn the hardest lesson of all—true power isn't bending fate to your will. It's having the courage to let go. The fate of New Eden hangs in the balance. And the probability of survival? Impossible to calculate.

“Luck is not random. It's leverage.” Clay Holmes was the statistical average of mediocrity, a man adrift until a catastrophic, improbable car pile-up, a cosmic anomaly, forced his latent destiny to the surface. Clay survived, not by chance, but by becoming the latest inheritor of the King of War Cycle, a living engine of fate tasked with maintaining the precarious balance of chaos and order in the world. This ascension gifted Clay a terrifying, dual power set. First, Physiological Regression, which allows him to instantly read every historical weakness, old injury, and micro-shift in an opponent’s anatomy, turning every fight into a perfectly choreographed counter-attack rooted in past truth. Second, Probability Bias: the true power of a strategic genius. Clay doesn't need to be stronger or faster; he subtly manipulates every stray variable, a breath, a flicker of light, a loose floor tile, ensuring the 0.01% chance of victory becomes a 100% statistical inevitability. But his awakening triggers a devastating war with the man who came before him. The Predecessor, the former King of War who cracked under the psychological weight of the Debt and the Cycle's constant violence, has returned to finish his mission: end all probability. Convinced that random chance is the source of all human suffering and the guarantor of future devastation, the Predecessor seeks to obliterate the very concept of luck from the world. To stop the Predecessor, Clay must master his terrifying control over luck and anatomy, leading him back to the Nexus Point of his accident for a final, reality-bending confrontation. The stakes are total: if Clay fails, the world ends in rigid, predictable order. If he succeeds, he must transcend his humanity, merging with the combined knowledge of every King before him to become the Consciousness of Possibility, the ultimate defender of human potential.

"From powerless dropout to god-slayer—power demands sacrifice." Kael Thorne has spent his life as nothing in a world where magic is everything. Expelled from Argentum Academy, mocked by those born with power, invisible in a society that measures worth by magical ability alone. When his estranged grandmother dies, she leaves him a tarnished locket, he remembers her wearing obsessively, whispering to it like a confidante or a curse. Everything changes the night Kael opens the Locket. The locket grants him the impossible, the power to devour others' magical abilities and make them his own. For the first time, Kael tastes what he's been denied. But every theft leaves a trail, every stolen power whispers in his mind, and black veins crawl across his skin like corruption taking root. As the Mage Council hunts him and his victims demand vengeance, Kael uncovers a horrifying truth: his grandmother was the legendary Phantom Thief who massacred seventeen mages decades ago. The locket imprisons an ancient entity called the Devourer—and Kael was born powerless because it drained his magic in the womb, making him the perfect vessel. The entity is waking, fed by every ability Kael steals. He faces an impossible choice: destroy himself to stop it, or embrace what he's becoming. Kael chooses power. He absorbs the Devourer completely, transforming into something beyond human—a dark god who hunts the magical elite and reshapes the world in his image. The Council's gods had their reign. Now Kael will devour them all. In a world built on stolen power, he'll take everything.

In a city where power defines destiny, Terry Williams was born powerless. Mocked as a “useless healer,” he watched his dreams burn—until a mysterious mentor taught him that healing and destruction are two sides of the same blade. Now hunted by guilds and gods alike, Terry must master forbidden arts that blur the line between life and death. The Healer’s Wrath is an epic tale of pain, power, and redemption — where the gentlest touch can kill, and the softest heart can conquer empires.

For a thousand years, the Dragonforge has slumbered, its molten heart pulsing with the blood of the first dragon. Every century, it awakens to choose a champion, one who will either reforge the legendary Dragon bane and slay the Eclipse Wyrm, or become its vessel and doom the world. This time, it chooses Dain, a lowly blacksmith’s apprentice with no magic in his veins. But Dain hides a secret: he is the last descendant of the Dragonforge Heir, a bloodline cursed to bear the weight of the world’s salvation, or its destruction. On the night of his twentieth birthday, Dain’s adoptive father, Borin, is murdered by the Order of the Silver Flame, a fanatical sect of dragon-slayers who believe Dain’s blood is the key to unleashing the Wyrm. Forced to flee, Dain discovers the truth: his hands bear the Mark of the Forge, and his veins run with the same fire as the ancient dragon. Hunted by the Order and pursued by the Ashen Covenant, a cult that worships the Wyrm, Dain must master the lost art of Runesmithing and gather the Seven Sacred Ores to reforge the Dragon bane. But the deeper he delves into his heritage, the more he questions whether the Wyrm is truly a mindless beast, or a prisoner of a divine betrayal. His only allies are Serra, a disgraced knight of the Silver Flame who wants to burn the world to save it, and Veyla, a sorceress of the Ashen Covenant who hears the Wyrm’s whispers in her dreams. Together, they journey across the shattered kingdoms of Eldros, from the Phoenix’s Nest to the Tomb of the Forgotten King, each step bringing Dain closer to the Wyrm’s awakening—and his own transformation.
