The Ruthless Major General  - Urban novels & stories

The Ruthless Major General

Moon's Writer
He ended a war that lasted ten years. But the deadliest battles are the ones fought in silence. Aiden Kael returns home as the youngest four-star general in the history of the Republic of Beramon—a living legend, celebrated across nations as one of the World Strategic Alliance’s “Ten War Gods.” After a decade of bloodshed defending his homeland from unseen enemies, peace finally seems within reach. But peace is a fragile illusion. When Aiden’s closest friend is found dead just days before his wedding—his eyes savagely removed and all evidence leading disturbingly close to Aiden’s own family—the war hero realizes that the real war never ended. It simply changed its battlefield. Now, trapped in a web of secrets, politics, and betrayal, Aiden must face an enemy that can’t be fought with bullets or blades—an enemy that wears familiar faces. And as he digs deeper, he learns that some wars are not won on the frontlines... but in the shadows of the soul.

I AM Kaelor Thane: The God Of War - Urban novels & stories

I AM Kaelor Thane: The God Of War

Samuel Kelvin
I remember the day everything burned like a wound that would never heal. Flames stole my family — my parents were ripped from me, my little brothers and sisters turned to ash — all because debts bled our name dry. They came in the night with torches and cold mouths, set our home alight, and watched the world I knew collapse into smoke. When I thought the world had taken its last piece of me, something — someone — stepped through the blaze. I could not tell if it was man or woman; the fire kept the savior's shape blurred and holy, as if the flames themselves had given birth to a protector. They pulled me from the ruin and vanished like a promise. For seven years I answered a different kind of fire. I joined the army and let the drill and the discipline burn the broken parts clean. My hands learned steel. My bones learned marching. My nights learned keeping watch. I learned how to turn pain into armor, sorrow into strategy. I was forged in training fields and battle lines until a new name fit me. I am Kaelor Thane now — not a child who once cried over ash, but a force that arrives on the war road without apology. They called me the God of War because I learned to move like thunder and strike like winter. I carry no mercy in my pocket; I carry only the weight of a debt to be settled. Those who think they can stand between me and what I owe will learn the hard truth: I do not forgive. I do not forget. I return to make the ledger even, and I will make them pay in ruin, pain, and a silence that remembers my name.

Beneath the city lights - Urban novels & stories

Beneath the city lights

Amìnessa Vale
Beneath the streets of New York, the city hums with unseen life. Aidan Wolfe works the hours most people forget, repairing the subway lines that carry millions above his head. Once a firefighter, now a man who keeps his head down, Aidan measures his days in the steady rhythm of trains and the hiss of machinery. He doesn’t talk much. He doesn’t need to. The tunnels don’t ask questions. But the city does — in small ways. In every echo, in every light that flickers back to life, in every stranger who reminds him that silence can only last so long. Beneath the City Lights is a story about endurance, the dignity of work, and the quiet humanity found in forgotten places. It’s not about escape. It’s about learning how to stay.

They Will All Bow To Me!

De Scripter
At graduation, Michael Scofield planned the perfect proposal. But instead of applause, he got laughter. In front of the entire campus, his girlfriend, Jane Scott, sneered at his cheap clothes and broke his heart. “Do you really think love can buy happiness?” she said. “Even my handbag costs more than you’ll ever earn!” Humiliated and crushed, Michael walked away in silence as Jane threw herself into the arms of her new billionaire boyfriend. What she didn’t know was—Michael wasn’t poor. For years, he’d lived under a strict family rule: stay hidden until graduation. No money. No help. No special treatment. But tonight, that rule ends. Because the boy she mocked is the sole heir to an empire that controls 70% of the world’s wealth. And when the truth comes out, the girl who looked down on him, the crowd who laughed at him, and the elites who called him trash—will all bow before him.

Amir
What if the man they call worthless could buy and sell them all with a single phone call? For three gruelling years, Romeo Martinez has endured every humiliation the wealthy Chen family could dish out—scrubbing their floors, serving their guests, and sleeping in the servants' quarters while his ice-cold wife Emma treats him like he's invisible. They call him worthless, a charity case who married above his station, a man who contributes nothing but shame to their declining empire. They have no idea that the quiet janitor cleaning their mansion is about to inherit a trillion-dollar business empire that could crush them without a second thought. When a mysterious phone call on his 28th birthday reveals that Romeo is the hidden heir to Phoenix Empire, everything changes. His suppressed memories return, his combat training awakens, and suddenly the man who couldn't fight back has unlimited resources, deadly allies, and a burning need for justice. The same criminal organization that murdered his parents is now targeting the Chen family—and only Romeo can save them. But saving Emma means protecting the woman who's spent three years breaking his heart, while destroying his enemies means embracing a power that could corrupt the gentle soul she fell in love with but never knew she had. As Romeo navigates boardrooms and battlefields with equal skill, one question haunts every calculated move: Can a man reclaim his throne without losing the woman whose love he's never truly won?

The Lupine code

Inside its shadows roam the Lycaon, humans mutated by illegal genetic conditioning. Governments insist they’re extinct. They are very wrong. Caleb Mercer — former security officer turned fugitive — survives on the fringes after escaping a classified experiment known as Program Howl. Every night, he battles a violent transformation ripping his humanity apart. Every day, federal strike teams hunt him as an “uncontrolled biological threat.” When an explosion tears through the Silver District, exposing the existence of a second generation of engineered shapeshifters, Caleb becomes the only one capable of tracking the outbreak’s source. He doesn’t want to be a hero. He just wants revenge — and answers. The truth? Something worse than werewolves is evolving in the city’s bones.
