Novels by Shikemi

After surviving the massacre of his family as a child, Michael Walter vanishes from the city and is secretly taken into a brutal underground military organization known as “Black Vanguard,” where abandoned children are trained into living weapons. Michael rises beyond every expectation. He conquers criminal empires. Ends wars. Destroys syndicates. Builds unimaginable wealth. Gains followers who worship him like a god. But revenge never leaves his heart. Years later, Michael returns to the city where his family was betrayed and murdered. Beneath the calm mask of an ordinary man, he begins dismantling powerful families one by one.

The story follows Arthur Williams, a poor and invisible young man trapped at the bottom of urban society. Constantly humiliated because of his poverty, Arthur survives through odd jobs while struggling to support his sick mother. After suffering a devastating betrayal from his employer, girlfriend, and closest friend on the same night, Arthur stumbles into a mysterious opportunity tied to hidden financial networks and elite underground investors. Suddenly granted access to impossible capital and predictive market intelligence, Arthur begins building wealth at an inhuman pace. At first, he only seeks revenge. He buys the restaurant that fired him. Acquires the company that blacklisted him. Destroys corrupt executives through financial warfare. But money changes everything. As Arthur rises through society, he enters the hidden battlefield of billionaires, political dynasties, intelligence brokers, media empires, and ancient families who secretly control nations through debt and influence. Arthur evolves from a revenge-driven survivor into a ruthless empire architect.

In a civilization ruled entirely by Beast Tamers, social status, political authority, wealth, and survival are all determined by the spirit beast one awakens during the sacred Day of Summoning. Weak beasts condemn people to lives of humiliation. Legendary beasts create kings. Divine beasts shape empires. Jesse Fletcher, a poor orphan from the slums of Ashveil City, dreams of escaping the misery that has suffocated his life for years. But on the Day of Summoning, his awakening becomes the greatest humiliation in the city's history. While noble heirs summon terrifying elemental dragons, celestial wolves, and ancient war beasts, Jesse awakens a dying creature rejected by the system itself—a malformed black beast covered in broken golden chains. The elite call it a defect. The priests declare it cursed. The academy brands it worthless. They force Jesse to either destroy it or live forever as the city's shame. But Jesse refuses. Unknown to the world, the creature is not a defect. It is a sealed primordial entity erased from history after the Ancient Beast Wars. A forbidden existence capable of devouring evolution itself.
