Golden Boy

One night that’s all it took to turn Ethan Morrison from the Morrison family’s "good-for-nothing black sheep" into a man with nothing left to lose. He stumbles home late ready to surprise his fiancée for their anniversary only to catch her tangled up with his half-brother the golden boy their father adores. Before he can even process it his old man shoves him out the door sneering that he’s "embarrassment trash" who never belonged in their home. And when he races to his mom’s grave to fall apart in private he finds it dug up flowers trampled headstone spray-painted with lies. They think he’s gone for good that he’ll crawl away and die in some gutter where they figure he belongs. But then a black SUV pulls up and the driver says three words that change everything: "You’re a Kidman." The richest man alive just found his lost grandson. Now Ethan’s back in the city dressed in custom Italian suits and moving with the kind of power money can’t buy. The same ball where they humiliated him a year ago he’s walking right through those doors. Every single one of them who spit on him who hurt him who desecrated the one thing that mattered they’re about to get a front-row seat to exactly what happens when you mess with the true heir. They called him worthless. Now they’ll either kneel or get knocked flat on their faces.

Dimas Ardhana was just a regular guy who liked spicy food too much. After a fatal incident with a bowl of 'Hell-Fire Noodles', he wakes up in the middle of the Azure Cloud Sect, where everyone thinks he's a legendary sage returned from the heavens. With no powers, a sarcastic system, and the world's deadliest (and prettiest) sword goddess watching his every move, Dimas must 'accidentally' cultivate his way to the top. Can he maintain the lie, or will his lack of spiritual qi finally catch up to him?

He was already the greatest. In his former world, Dorian Ash climbed a mountain at twelve, descended at eighteen, and spent a lifetime defeating every warrior who dared stand before him. No master. No equal. No ceiling left to break. Then fate moved him somewhere new. A world where power is everything. Where cultivation decides your worth, your status, your right to breathe. Where the strong grind the weak into the dirt without a second thought. He wakes up in the body of a failure. A laughingstock. A lovesick fool who wasted three years chasing a girl instead of chasing greatness — and died with nothing to show for it. But the soul now wearing that broken body? He has never lost. Not once. Not ever. Armed with the mysterious Void Absorption System and a martial technique so ancient the world itself tried to erase it, Dorian begins his climb. Not for revenge. Not for recognition. Not for anyone. Only for one reason. The pinnacle of this world exists somewhere above the clouds — and he intends to stand on it. Every academy. Every kingdom. Every realm. Every so-called immortal who believes their ceiling is the absolute limit of what a human being can become. He is coming for all of it. The void does not ask for permission. It simply absorbs everything in its path.

Driven into the lethal Mythic Tower, Austin was mocked as a lazy, mana-deficient trash. But while others fought for survival, he awakened the Cosmic AFK System. Now, he slays gods by taking naps. When enemies push him to the brink, Austin just yawns and unleashes divine punishment. "Don't disturb my naptime."

Felix parks cars for rich men who slap him and rich women who forget his name. He has twelve dollars, a bleeding cheek, and nothing left to lose. Then he finds a old coin under a dead man's seat. The coin shows him three seconds of the future. Not much. But three seconds is all it takes to ruin a rich man. Now Felix is done parking cars. He is done being nothing. And the first person who ever made him bleed? He is about to make that man beg.

But when he discovers a rusty, magical cauldron that turns scraps into divine artifacts, his path to immortality takes a hilarious and chaotic turn. Zarox doesn't want to be a hero; he just wants to live forever, even if it means hiding behind five layers of armor and winning battles through sheer, stubborn cowardice. Will his desperate quest for survival make him the greatest legend the cultivation world has ever seen?

In a world where money meant power, Dylan was at the bottom of the pyramid. Dylan was a mere cleaner who was cheated on by his wife who left him and their kid for a richer man.

In the first apocalypse timeline, he trusted the wrong people, gave away what little he had, and was betrayed when food became more valuable than human life. Death came quietly—without heroism, without meaning. Then time rewound. Kyle wakes minutes before the world collapses, reborn with all his memories intact—and a system no one else possesses: the Infinite Supplies System. Food. Water. Weapons. A private Paradise Space untouched by ruin. But abundance comes with a rule carved in cold logic: nothing is free. Supplies can only be unlocked through Emotional Function Points. As cities fall and boys’ survivor zones are wiped out, a sealed girls’ campus becomes an island of desperation. Kyle alone can move freely through the apocalypse. He doesn’t force obedience. He waits. Hunger does the work. Cleaning earns meals. Labor earns water. Emotion—fear, shame, gratitude, desire—determines how much. Six girls stand at the center of this fragile balance: a campus beauty hiding terror behind smiles, an ice-cold strategist who refuses to beg, a fallen heiress desperate to reclaim control, an arrogant provocateur who thrives on chaos, a kind healer who sacrifices herself too easily, and a hardened survivor who refuses to be owned. Between them, alliances form and fracture. Submission becomes strategy. Strategy becomes betrayal. Kyle’s relationships with them are never simple. He is their provider, their ruler, their shield—and, increasingly, their moral problem. As the system rewards cruelty more efficiently than kindness, Kyle begins to realize a terrifying truth: the system doesn’t care about survival. It cares about consumption. When outside survivor factions finally make contact and the system escalates beyond Kyle’s control, he is forced to choose—declare himself sovereign over a starving world, or challenge the very system that keeps everyone alive. And the system is already watching how he decides.

Alex was reborn into Blue Star, a world of advanced technology and modern comforts, yet ruled by the ancient, unchanging power of royal families. As a prince of the mighty Roshar Kingdom, he was born into luxury but cursed with minimal talent for the martial arts that defined this world's elite. Seeing the brutal intrigue within his own family, his sole ambition became a simple one: to avoid the throne's bloody games and survive a long, quiet life of privileged obscurity. That plan shattered when he was framed for a rebellion he knew nothing about. Cast out by the king without a trial or explanation and abandoned by a mother who refused to even say goodbye, Alex was exiled to the Wall—the world's most feared military penal colony. As a low-ranking, seemingly untalented warrior, everyone believed he was being sent to a silent death. But the Wall was not a prison. It was the grim, hidden truth from the normal people. Here, Alex witnessed the real war: a daily, desperate struggle against nightmarish monsters, a crisis kept secret from the peaceful, modern world behind a veil of royal and Council lies. Facing the terror for the first time, he realized the world's cruel hypocrisy and his own terrifying fragility. Yet, in the carnage, he discovered a latent, macabre gift: the ability to harvest strength from the fallen. This power could change everything, offering a path to survival and vengeance. But even as he grasps this chance, burning questions haunt him: Why was he, the deliberately passive prince, chosen as the pawn? Why did his father condemn him without a word? Why is the true horror of their world buried beneath a facade of normalcy? Armed with a secret that could elevate him or mark him for death.
