No name.
He grew up in the shadows of an ultra-controllable metropolis, managing to survive on his instincts, intellect, and secrets he does not even comprehend completely. Once a perfect machine of the city starts to fail, due to his inexplicable presence, strong institutions begin to pursue him not to kill him but to define him.
As he continues digging he finds out buried a fact that the system was not meant to safeguard people. It was designed to erase them. And he might be the only fault it is impotent to amend.
Stuck between underworld connections, high-end enforcers, and an enigma that surrounds his creation, he has to choose whether to vanish forever... or to shred the illusion of the city.
Since the system will never name you again, you are either nothing or you're dangerous.

Obsidian Heir
I learned early that if you’re born at the bottom, the world doesn’t hate you.
It just doesn’t see you.
I wasn’t mistreated. I was useful. A donor. A background presence. The kind of person wealthy families keep around until they don’t need him anymore.
I got good at being invisible.
Then someone pointed a gun at my chest.
And Seraphina Knowles, the most powerful woman in the city said, “Apologize to him.”
Men who wouldn’t have remembered my name minutes earlier dropped to their knees.
It should’ve felt like victory.
It didn’t.
Because power doesn’t erase what you were. It tests what you’ll become.
Behind closed doors, I’m the Chairman of Prism Dragon Group. I could end careers with a signature. Crush bloodlines with paperwork.
But I don’t move in anger.
I watch.
And when I start watching, I find something rotting inside my own empire money disappearing too carefully to be a mistake. Betrayal hiding behind polished smiles.
This stops being about humiliation.
It becomes war.
Bennett Sterling inherited power but never discipline. He mistakes noise for strength. I let him believe that.
Men who panic expose themselves.
Now arrests are being made. Empires are trembling. And the boardroom is about to learn who truly holds authority.
I won’t smile.
This was never about proving them wrong.
It was about making sure no one will ever decide my worth again.

The Roman Walter Effect
Roman Walter had been humiliated for three years.
A garbage collector. The company joke. Married to beautiful Mira Donaldson, who grew to despise him.
On their third wedding anniversary, Roman carried a secret. Millions saved. A card that could restore Mira’s stolen company. He was ready to reveal everything.
Then he walked into the office.
Mira’s best friend Mario was on one knee. Diamond ring gleaming. Proposing to Roman’s wife.
She said yes.
In front of everyone, Mira destroyed him. Their marriage was forced, she claimed. He was poor. Worthless. She wanted an open marriage to be with Mario, the vice president’s son.
Roman signed the papers without a word.
Hours later, a Rolls Royce crashed through the parking lot. A stunning woman emerged, calling Roman “boss.” She revealed his true wealth. Millions in gifts prepared for Mira. Luxury cars. Designer everything. A penthouse.
All of it waiting. If Mira had stayed one more day.
Mira refused to believe it. Just tricks from a desperate man.
Back at the office, the mockery continued. Coworkers blamed Roman for lost bonuses. Mira painted herself as his victim.
Then the CEO made an announcement.
Roman Walter was now chairman. Majority shareholder. He’d just invested twenty million dollars.
The room went dead silent.
Every person who’d insulted him now worked for him. Mira stood paralyzed, watching her mistake unfold. Mario’s face drained of color.
Roman surveyed them all with ice-cold eyes.
His revenge had only just begun.
