System

Roland Mac Donald built an empire from nothing then lost everything to the two people he trusted most. Poisoned slowly, broken mentally, and discarded off a cliff like a forgotten relic, his death was supposed to be the end of his story. But death rejected him. When Roland awakens, he is no longer powerless. A mysterious SYSTEM binds itself to his existence, granting him skills, intelligence upgrades, financial mastery, and combat abilities far beyond human limits. With it, he begins climbing back from the ashes…not just to survive, but to reclaim everything that was stolen from him. As his influence grows, Roland infiltrates elite business circles, takes control of hidden military forces, and uncovers a deeper conspiracy behind his betrayal one that reaches far beyond his brother James and fiancée Naomi. Every mission pulls him closer to dangerous zones, deadly illusions, and truths that confuse the line between reality and manipulation. But the deeper he goes, the clearer one thing becomes, his betrayal was only the beginning. Because someone else has been watching him rise… and the SYSTEM was never meant to belong to him alone. And when the final notification appears, there is no option to refuse. Only one message remains: “WELCOME BACK, HOST… OR SHOULD WE SAY, EXPERIMENT NUMBER SEVEN?”

# VOID THRONE --- Wei Liang had zero spiritual roots. The world called him a cripple. The Academy made him sweep floors. Everyone agreed his story was already over. Then something pulled him back from a cliff edge and told him the truth. *Empty wasn't broken. Empty could hold everything.* Now the boy nobody looked at is climbing — past the disciples who mocked him, past the elders who ignored him, past every person who ever did the arithmetic and decided he didn't count. He's coming for all of them. But someone has been watching him since before he was born. *And they're not finished with him yet.*

In the world of Aethelgard, fate is not written in the stars—it is decided by the cards you hold. While the nobles of the Spire are born with legendary Golden Decks filled with dragons, holy magic, and divine relics, the poor are left with broken scraps barely worth surviving with. Kai is nothing more than a nameless mine slave with no Deck, no status, and no future. But when a deadly cave-in uncovers a hidden flaw in the world’s perfect system, his destiny changes forever. Buried beneath the ruins, Kai discovers [The Wildcard]—a corrupted card capable of becoming anything. A god-slaying sword. A forbidden spell. A monstrous beast. Or… a useless wooden spoon. Unstable, unpredictable, and feared by the system itself, the Wildcard turns Kai into a threat to the very order of Aethelgard. Armed with a chaotic deck forged from literal trash, stolen relics, and impossible combinations, Kai enters the brutal climb of the Spire where every duel is a gamble and every defeat means death. To survive, he must outplay nobles, crush legendary card wielders, and uncover the truth behind the Deck system that controls the world. Because in Aethelgard, power belongs to those lucky enough to draw it. But Kai was never lucky. He cheats fate itself. A dark fantasy progression novel packed with ruthless battles, evolving cards, deadly tower climbs, and a zero-to-overpowered journey where the weakest slave may become the greatest wildcard the world has ever seen.

They tried to kill him on his birthday—just to take all his wealth. All this time, Logan thought he had nothing. But the truth was far more cruel: all the suffering he had endured was the doing of his own uncle, who treated him like trash within the family. On the night he was on the verge of death, a goddess appeared before him. Out of pity, she granted him a system that changed everything—the Multiplier Compensation System. From that moment on, Logan’s life changed. Wealth, power, everything began to grow without limit. He no longer cared about anyone… except for one thing—revenge. He built himself into an existence with infinite wealth, someone no longer controlled by anyone. “Now… you’re begging me?” “This is my ‘kindness’—to atone for all your sins.” And for those who once destroyed him, endless suffering would be the only fitting punishment.

In a world where power decides status, wealth, and survival, Dante is worse than weak—he is nothing. The Awakening Stone doesn’t glow for him. The examiners laugh behind his back.
