Mystery/Thriller

Twenty strangers. Ten million dollars. A single survivor. For bankrupt author Kurt Hayes, the luxurious and isolated Grand Hotel Summit seemed like the answer to all his debts and the end of an impending ruin. The invitation was simple: stay confined in the mountains for a few days in exchange for a life-changing reward. But as soon as the heavy oak doors lock shut and the windows are barricaded from the outside, the rules change. Under the command of an enigmatic, faceless voice, a thirty-minute dinner window becomes the prelude to a psychological nightmare. Through a sequence of sadistic games rooted in trust, betrayal, and raw survival, the guests discover a terrifying truth: their selection was not random. As the body count rises brutally and the hotel corridors are stained with blood, a trail of clues reveals that everyone in the room shares the blame for a tragedy that occurred ten years ago. Amid fragile alliances, perverse manipulations, and secrets unraveled piece by piece, Hayes must confront not only the killer instincts of his competitors, but the ghosts of his own past. Because in this game, the Host’s justice isn't just looking for a winner. It is looking for blood. "For one to win, the others must lose. Let the judgment begin."

After being murdered by his elite tormentors, Jhaevorn Karsid wakes up in his younger body. Armed with memories of his death and secrets of his killers, he chooses not to fight with fists, but to orchestrate their downfall from the shadows of the academy.

When Detective Alex Mercer is called to a gruesome murder scene, he finds a single clue beside the body: an envelope marked ECLIPSE. At first, it looks like the return of a long-dead serial killer. But as more bodies appear, Alex uncovers a hidden network built on secrets, blackmail, and power—one that reaches deep into Ravenswood's police department. Then comes the impossible: a message from Daniel Cross, Alex's former partner who supposedly died five years ago. As the city spirals toward chaos and a mysterious operation known as Phase Two begins, Alex is forced to question everyone he trusts—including the people closest to him. But the deeper he digs, the more terrifying the truth becomes. Because Eclipse isn't just hunting victims. It's preparing to expose a secret powerful enough to bring an entire city to its knees. And someone Alex thought was dead has been waiting in the shadows all along.

Damian Cross spent his career following money trails. He exposed fraud. Proved that every crime leaves evidence behind. The day he found a file everything changed. This file linked people to corruption, assassinations and organized crime that went on for decades. Suddenly his whole life was turned upside down. He was framed for crimes he didn't do and became the country's wanted fugitive. Now he's the suspect in a series of murders. These murders target people connected to that file. Witnesses are disappearing evidence is being erased and people he trusted are turning against each other. Damian realizes someone isn't just killing people. Someone is trying to erase the truth. With every step, Damian gets closer, to a conspiracy. This conspiracy is powerful enough to control governments manipulate justice and change history. Damian must decide how far he's willing to go to expose those who are hiding behind their wealth and influence. The more he digs the scarier one thing becomes. The conspiracy didn't start with him. It has been shaping his life for a time. Even before he was born. If the truth comes out an entire nation could fall apart.

Ten years ago, Alex ran away from his cutthroat bloodline to be a good, normal man. His goodness earned him a grave. Alex Carter died in the ashes of a burning warehouse—or so his treacherous wife, Lisa, and his backstabbing best friend, Marcus, believed. Pinned beneath a burning beam, Alex watched the woman he loved turn her back and walk away, leaving him to burn so she could steal his company and his life. What Lisa didn’t know was that the humble, hardworking husband she betrayed was hiding a terrifying secret. He is Alexander Sterling, the runaway heir to the Sterling Consortium—a shadow economy worth quintillions that secretly controls the world's banks, governments, and armies. Now, pulled from the wreckage by his ruthless billionaire grandfather, Alex has spent six months forging his broken body into a weapon. Armed with the black Sterling Apex Card—a legendary artifact granting absolute, untrackable global power—he returns to the city that forgot him. Lisa and Marcus think they’ve won the world. But at their multi-million-dollar victory gala, the doors are about to lock. The music is about to stop. And the man they murdered is about to walk in and buy their entire existence in ten seconds.

Nathan Cross is a respected forensic accountant assigned to audit the country's most celebrated charity, the Soren Foundation. He uncovers a horrifying truth: the foundation is a front for laundering money tied to assassinations, political manipulation, and worse. Before he can report it, he's framed — his office raided, evidence planted, his name dragged through the media. His father collapses under the stress and later dies. His sister Chloe vanishes the same night he's arrested. In prison, Nathan realizes this was never about the money — someone needed his spotless reputation to make the lie believable, and now they need him gone. With help from a mysterious ally with their own agenda, he escapes during a staged ambush on a prison transfer. The world believes he's dead. Nathan watches his own funeral from a distance. Two years later, he returns to Blackridge under a new identity, quietly hunting the people who destroyed his life. He discovers they're all connected through a hidden network called The Ledger — and at its center is Victor Soren, the philanthropist everyone trusts. As Nathan dismantles Victor's empire piece by piece, journalist Elena Brooks — who built her career chasing "the truth" about Nathan's guilt — realizes the mysterious stranger she's investigating is Nathan himself. Together, reluctantly, they dig deeper: corrupt judges, bought police, a mentor whose loyalty is unclear, and finally, proof that Chloe is alive. As Nathan closes in on the truth behind why he was chosen to be framed, he must decide what kind of man his revenge will make him — and whether exposing The Ledger is worth the innocent lives it could also destroy.

Weston Hale was once the underworld's most feared asset, codename the Calculator, a man who never carried a weapon because he never needed one. He mapped routines, found weaknesses, and let his targets destroy themselves. When a rival faction under Dorian Kessler killed his pregnant wife trying to kill him, Weston let the world believe he'd died too. Seven years later, he's a quiet small-city accountant, stepfather to Sienna Cortlandt's two children, rebuilding a life he never thought he'd get to keep. That life ends the day developer Garrick Vandermere sets his sights on the family's home. His enforcer, Cole Whitfield, escalates from paperwork to threats to violence, unaware he's provoking a man who doesn't fight, he calculates. Weston dismantles Vandermere's empire with quiet precision, but the very skill he uses to protect his family is the signature that alerts Kessler he's still alive. As Kessler closes in, Weston discovers Vandermere's project was secretly bankrolling Kessler's operation all along, and that his own former handler, Priya Osei, made a deal years ago that helped Kessler find him. Worse, he uncovers the truth Kessler never knew either: the order to kill Weston's family didn't come from Kessler at all. It came from The Ledger, the shadow agency Weston used to serve, because Weston had started protecting people the agency considered expendable. His new life wasn't an escape. It was a leash. To save Sienna, Judson, and Nora for good, Weston must destroy the organization that made him, using the only weapon he's ever trusted: the numbers. This is a story about a man forced to choose, once and for all, between the ghost he buried and the family he refuses to lose.

Arveth Korr remembers his murder perfectly. He remembers the cold steel and the face of the man who took his life thirty years ago. But when he finds his current fingerprints in his own past-life police file, the mystery deepens into a terrifying reality. As he teams up with Detective Linaya Voss, they uncover a cycle of reincarnated criminals who kill to settle ancient debts. Arveth soon realizes he wasn't just a victim in the grand design—he might have been the one who drew the blueprints.

Dorian Ash spits blood on the concrete and grins at the man who just broke three of his ribs. Eighteen months ago, Dorian was a decorated Army Ranger. Now he fights in an unlicensed cage beneath a condemned scrapyard, one loss away from a debt he can't pay. His fatal flaw: discipline. He follows the rules even when the rules are rigged against him. What he wants: enough winnings to buy his sister out of the debt that put her in the hospital. What he's wrong about: this was never about money. The Pit isn't a fight club. It's a laundering operation for a trafficking ring, and every match he wins moves product no one can see. The threat is already inside his corner. His manager has been selling fight outcomes to men Dorian's never met — men who own the judges, the ambulance drivers, even the cop who's supposed to be investigating the deaths piling up in the scrapyard's back lot. Two men from Dorian's old unit are already dead, ruled accidents. A third is missing. The Pit's owner, a man who calls himself the Broker, controls half the city's underground economy from a nightclub that claims to be neutral ground — no blood spilled inside, blood paid for outside. Only on MegaNovel: every fight Dorian wins is a fight he was never supposed to survive, and the men rigging his death are running out of ways to fake it as an accident. Walk into the Pit. Find out what he's really fighting for.

Twenty years of service, twenty years of secrets, and one night of blood. Caevrik Dorneth was the perfect butler for the Krossel family, but when they are butchered in their sleep, he becomes their final ghost. Armed with a 'Black Ledger' filled with two decades of blackmail, corruption, and vice, Caevrik initiates a masterclass in psychological warfare. He doesn't need bullets to destroy the powerful elite; he only needs the truth. As he systematically dismantle the conspirators who ordered the massacre, he must stay one step ahead of the relentless detective closing in on his trail, knowing that for him, justice is served cold and at the cost of his own soul.

Raphael Voss has killed eleven men for his country and never lost sleep over one of them. That ends at 3:14 a.m. on a Marseille rooftop, when his own extraction team puts two rounds through the asset beside him — then turns the gun on him. He survives because he's faster than the men who trained him. By sunrise, he understands three things: his agency burned him on purpose, someone above his handler signed the order, and there's now a kill clause with his name on it that won't stop until he's in the ground. Raphael doesn't run. Running is what dead men do while they wait to find out why. Instead he goes hunting the truth — and finds something worse than a cover-up. A shadow committee inside his own agency, the Concord, has spent a decade selling intelligence for influence. He wasn't burned for failing a mission. He was burned for seeing proof the Concord exists. Now he's the only man alive who can expose them — and the only one who has to survive long enough to matter. Seventy-two hours stand between him and the Concord's endgame. His only live wire back into the agency is Esther Cole, an analyst marked for the same fate. Every ally he reaches is a liability the moment the Concord finds the thread. There's no handler. No extraction. No clean exit. Just a professional doing the only job left to him: making the people who tried to erase him regret it.

In the depths of the Silent Dungeon, the monsters don't kill you—they become you. Rhael Dorne enters the abyss with a veteran survivor, only to realize the shadows are learning their faces, their voices, and their secrets. When a perfect double is discovered among them, trust evaporates. But the nightmare truly begins when the copy points its finger at Rhael, claiming he is the monster.

My life was a lie. I was a corporate drone, a cog in the machine, living a life of quiet desperation. Then my "father" died, leaving me a single key and a final, cryptic message: "The truth is in the blood." That truth shattered my world. I am not a nobody. I am the last heir to the Obsidian Throne, a secret lineage that has secretly controlled the world's shadows for millennia, wielding a power my family called the "Dominion." But the throne is cursed and the legacy is a bloody one. My inheritance was stolen, my family was murdered, and the architect of my ruin is the man my parents trusted most. Now, I'm a ghost in a world of high-stakes conspiracy. I have the key—an ancient artifact that binds to my soul, granting me a fragment of my family's power—and a burning need for vengeance. To claim what is mine, I must tear down the secret empire built on my family's bones. I will fight, manipulate, and kill my way through the criminal underworld and the glittering halls of the ultra-rich. They think they killed the last of my bloodline. They are about to learn that you cannot kill a king. The reckoning is coming, and it will be paid in blood.

Ethan Carter’s life appears ordinary until a mysterious photograph arrives at his door in the middle of the night. The photograph shows Ethan standing beside an unknown man at an abandoned railway station seven years earlier—yet Ethan has no memory of ever being there. On the back are six disturbing words: “You promised you wouldn't tell anyone.” Seven years ago, Ethan survived a mysterious accident that left him with a serious head injury and erased almost two weeks of his memory. He always believed those missing days were nothing more than a painful chapter of his past. But when his younger sister, Olivia, receives a similar photograph and suddenly disappears, Ethan realizes someone has been waiting years for him to remember the truth.

In the Arctic’s dying silence, the aurora is no ordinary light — it is a god stirring from its sleep. The isolated town of Varrholm is collapsing. The harbor is frozen solid. Food is running out. And the shimmering lights overhead whisper secrets only a few can hear. The descendants of the original settlers are bound by an ancient, desperate bargain, and that debt is now due. Eira Kallik, a hunter from a "pure" bloodline, hears the aurora not as a threat, but as a lullaby. It knows her name. It knows her blood. As the whispers grow into commands, the town fractures: the faithful demand obedience, the skeptics plot escape, and the desperate search for a scapegoat. But the god does not want their prayers. It wants what it was promised centuries ago. Every hidden lineage, every buried secret, every lie the town was built on is about to surface. When the god awakens, it will not be merciful. It will be hungry. And only one bloodline can silence it—or feed it. When the last bloodline stands, will they save the town — or sacrifice it?

Beneath the city's skin, another city breathes. Every soul is a puppet. You just have to find the strings." Detective Davon Deshaun is a man built on rituals and "psychic bricks," trying to fortify his mind against the weight of every unsolved case he carries like a stone in his pocket. But in a city bleeding from a string of brutal murders, the "pattern" is a grim, tightening noose around the precinct’s neck. When a young woman is found mutilated at the upscale club Michelin’s—her body treated like a "twisted work of art"—Davon is thrust into a nightmare he can’t escape. Worse, he’s forced to partner with the only person who can find the cracks in his foundation: his former partner and ex-girlfriend, the cool, professional Claire McGuire. As they navigate the wreckage of their shared history, they are hunted by The Architect—a sadistic mastermind who doesn't just kill, but designs entrapment. Leaving behind charcoal sketches of his future horrors, The Architect is building a "custom-tailored prison" around the detectives themselves. Davon and Claire soon realize they aren't just the investigators. They are the centerpiece of a grotesque exhibition. In a game where the walls are already rising, can they find the man pulling the strings before they become the next "finishing touch"?

Cain Mercer was the CIA's deadliest black-ops asset. He could enter any room, eliminate any target, and vanish without a trace. They called him a ghost—not because he was invisible, but because he left no evidence behind. Then the Siberia mission changed everything. An explosion at a classified research facility should have killed him. Instead, it unlocked something inside Cain's mind. Now he sees them: the Strays—flickering, predatory remnants of the dead that drift through our world like interference on a dying radio. They're invisible to everyone else. And they're hunting. The Agency branded him insane, locked him away in a deep-cover psychiatric facility. But when impossible assassinations begin targeting high-value global assets—each victim found with the same static-burn scar Cain carries on his chest—they have no choice but to unearth their broken weapon. Cain is offered a deal: track the killer, stop the attacks, and earn his freedom. But the deeper he digs, the darker the truth becomes. The Strays aren't random. They're being directed by someone inside the Agency itself—a ghost from Cain's past who knows exactly what he's become. To survive, Cain must embrace the very thing that terrifies him most: he's not just a ghost operative. He's the only one who can fight ghosts. And the war has only just begun.

Three years after civilization collapsed, Ethan Carter has learned one brutal truth: The apocalypse didn't destroy humanity. Humanity destroyed itself. While escaping a ruined city, Ethan discovers an underground facility containing a strange device capable of transmitting fragments of future events. Before he can understand it, the facility is attacked. Ethan dies. But instead of darkness, he opens his eyes in his own apartment. His phone shows the date. Seventy-two hours before the world ends. At first, Ethan thinks he's been given a second chance. Then he discovers something impossible. He remembers the people who survived the apocalypse. Not hundreds. Not thousands. Exactly 37 people. And every one of them played a role in shaping the new world. Some became heroes. Some became monsters. Some became rulers. And some betrayed everyone who trusted them. Ethan knows their names. He knows where they will be when the disaster begins. He knows which ones must be saved... And which ones must never be allowed to survive. But there is one problem. In his memories, Ethan Carter was not one of the 37 survivors. He died on the first night. Now he has only 72 hours to change his fate. As the countdown begins, Ethan races across the city, gathering the people he believes can survive. But on the second day, he encounters a woman who should not exist in his memories. She looks at him and whispers: "You came back too." Ethan freezes. Someone else remembers the future. And she knows something he doesn't. The apocalypse isn't supposed to happen in 72 hours. It's supposed to happen tonight.

Dominic Rice was the CIA’s most lethal ghost—until the day his own agency erased him. Framed for a massacre he didn’t commit, Rice is left for dead in a black-site prison in the middle of the Sahara. But death doesn’t want him, and the men who buried him just made the biggest mistake of their careers. Armed with nothing but a smuggled SIM card, a broken body, and fifteen years of black-ops training, Rice escapes into the underworld of international espionage. The target isn’t just the corrupt spymaster who sold him out. It’s the phantom organization pulling the strings behind the West’s most volatile conflicts—a shadow syndicate known only as The Meridian. Hunted by the world’s most sophisticated intelligence agencies and a rogue Delta Force operator with a personal grudge, Rice must navigate the violent borderlands between Europe and Africa. Every ally has a price. Every step forward is booby-trapped. And the one woman who knows the truth about his past might be the deadliest weapon of all. To clear his name and stop a geopolitical catastrophe that will ignite World War III, Rice must become the monster his enemies fear. This is not about justice. This is about extraction.
