Mind Reading

BLURB/DESCRIPTION Chen Wei thought his life ended when he fell from the cliff during a brutal training session. Instead, he woke up to discover something impossible—a foreign consciousness had merged with his own. The memories flooding his mind belonged to someone who had lived countless lifetimes, someone who had mastered cultivation beyond imagination. But this knowledge comes with a terrible price: his body is too weak to handle even a fraction of this power. In a world where strength determines everything, Chen Wei must start from the very bottom. His family, the once-mighty Chen Clan, teeters on the edge of disgrace. Their rivals, the powerful Zhao family, grow stronger each day. In three weeks, a competition will decide which family rules Azure Falls City—and Chen Wei is their only hope. Armed with ancient knowledge trapped in a dying body, Chen Wei faces an impossible choice: risk everything to reclaim power that could destroy him, or watch his family fall into ruin. As he uncovers dark secrets about his own death and the true enemy lurking in the shadows, Chen Wei realizes that surviving the next three weeks might be the least of his problems.

He trusted his brother. He believed in love. He swore an oath. But what happens when all three turn into lies? Kabri was once a silent force in the shadows—an elite operative loyal to a cause, to his blood, and to the woman who said she carried his child. But loyalty means nothing when betrayal runs deeper than bullets. When Jamil—his own brother—fakes his death and pulls the strings from behind the curtain, Kabri’s world fractures. Then comes Evelyn. The woman who wasn’t who she claimed to be. The pregnancy? A lie—twice over. The love? A weapon. The truth? Buried under years of deception. Now hunted across continents, with a child’s life on the line and hallucinations of Evelyn whispering from the grave, Kabri is trapped in a brutal mind game. The lines blur between justice and revenge, love and obsession, reality and delusion. Why did Jamil destroy everything? Was Evelyn ever real? And in the end… who is Kabri, really? The Blood Oath is an urban psychological thriller packed with fire-fights, betrayals, shifting identities, and one impossible question: If your past was a lie, can you ever escape it? Or are some oaths written in blood… meant to end in blood?

Like every failure from before, I began to pick up the shattered pieces of myself and attempted to put myself back together, but suddenly I am reminded of what I truly wanted. ADVENTURE. To see the world and experience all that I could. Be it through fear, cold, or even nightmarish hardships. I WILL HAVE AN ADVENTURE. These 5 words rang out in my subconscious and with-it fate had turned, and I now find myself in an unknown place, my memories fractured, and my body changed? "WHERE THE HELL AM I?!" Now in an unknown world and with very few memories. Our protagonist will venture forth to find himself. The time it will take, what will occur, and even how will he be changed are all questions that run behind every tale. But interestingly, other tales run in parallel with him.

Title: The Ultimate Tycoon's System Audit Genre: Urban / Drama / System Synopsis For five years, Jin was a loyal "live-in boyfriend," working eighty-hour weeks as a low-level clerk and scrubbing floors to pay off his girlfriend Min-ah’s family debts. But the night he bought an engagement ring, his world shattered. After discovering a secret $3 Billion money-laundering scheme at work, he caught Min-ah in the arms of the billionaire director and boss, Kang Tae-sung. Discarded like trash by the woman he loved, Jin was framed for theft and left to bleed out on a rainy bridge by corporate thugs sent by his boss to silent him. Instead of dying, a freak electrical surge wakes a cold, mechanical power in his mind: The Sovereign Auditor System. With a glowing crimson clock counting down his final 24 hours of life, Jin must audit his betrayers to survive. The rules are simple: the more arrogant his enemies act, the greater the wealth and lifespan Jin gets when he exposes them. Armed with the unstoppable Eye of Truth, Jin launches an absolute counter-strike—climbing from a left-for-dead clerk to a global tycoon who bankrups international shipping syndicates and trillion-dollar shadow banking cartels. Yesterday, they treated him like a dog and left him to die in the rain. Today, he owns their entire lives.

From Erwin Wickison I never asked to be here. One moment I was living my life, and the next I was dragged—along with millions of others—into a place ruled by a system that treats us like pieces on a board. Every Game is built to break something, whether it’s a body, a mind, or the small parts of myself I keep pretending are “good.” I’ve watched people die. I’ve watched people change. And I know I’m changing too. I just hope there’s something human left in me by the end… if there’s even an end. WARNING. This book contains smut, psychological decay, moral collapse, human intimacy twisted into survival, and a variety of horrors that do not wait for your permission before sinking into your mind. It will not hold your hand. It will not apologize. And it will not stop once you open it. If you continue, you’re choosing to step into a sequence of events designed to peel apart the comfortable assumptions you rely on to feel “safe.” Some of you will be fascinated. Some of you will be disturbed. Most of you will not remain the same. I’m not here to reassure you. I’m only here to tell you one thing: Whatever you think this is, whatever you think you know… you don’t. And once you begin, you can’t go back. — Welcome to the Games

The entire Carmichael family looked on in curiosity as the convoy of Fords rolled into the mansion's grounds. It looked like a King was making his entrance. The cars came to a stop and a driver ran over to pull the passenger door open. Luke stepped down from the car and shocked silence swept through the Humsworth family. He looked at them, a smug smirk curving his lips. "L-luke?" His wife, Fiona, stuttered. "In the flesh. Hello, in-laws, your wretched son-in-law is finally home…" *** What would you do if you were insulted and shamed by your wife's family for being poor, but one day, you discover that you're the heir to a lost fortune? Luke Bradford is the average, wretched son-in-law of the rich Carmichael family. He is shamed, disgraced and abused by his wife's family until one day, he finds out that he's the heir to a Diamond empire running into trillions of dollars. Luke returns with one thing on his mind…to take revenge on every single person who dared to hurt him in the past, but the Humsworth family have also vowed that a low class peasant like him will never lord over them.

Ethan Hawthorn was the man everyone loved to despise. As the worthless son-in-law of the modest Hawthorn family, he had spent three miserable years being mocked, humiliated, and treated like a parasite. He worked as a garbage collector, lived in poverty, and watched helplessly as his own wife openly betrayed him with another man. He endured it all for the sake of his aging parents. Until the night he met an old stranger at a grocery store. Ethan had barely enough money to feed his own family, yet he still gave up half of his groceries to help an elderly man who could not pay his bill. That simple act of kindness led him somewhere he never expected. A mysterious house. A cup of coffee. And a deck of ancient cards said to contain the fortunes of those who dared to draw them. Some cards granted wealth. Others brought disease, disaster, or even death. With nothing left to lose, Ethan accepted the challenge. He drew three cards. The first granted him limitless wealth. The second awakened divine wisdom, filling his mind with knowledge beyond anything a human should possess. But the third card was something far more terrifying. It granted him an eternal divine guardian, a being from beyond the mortal world who would serve Ethan for eternity.

"Just leave him. He’s a scavenger—his life is worth less than the loot he carries." Those were the last words Lucian heard before his teammates slammed the dungeon’s iron doors, leaving him broken and bleeding in the dark. To the world’s elite Hunters, Lucian was just a "human trash bag," a Rank-F nobody meant to clean up their messes. But as the monsters closed in to feast on his flesh, a cold, mechanical voice echoed in his mind: [Ding! Life Force at 1%. Survival Instinct Detected.] [The God-Level Scavenger System is initializing...] [Target Detected: Corpse of a High-Rank Demon.] [Would you like to 'Recycle' it? (Y/N)] With nothing left to lose, Lucian reached out. [Recycle Successful! You have gained: 1,000+ Strength and the SSS-Rank Skill: Abyssal Devourer!] While others fight for glory, Lucian grows stronger by picking up what they throw away. Broken legendary swords? Recycle into Divine Artifacts. Trash-tier mana stones? Synthesize into Origin Cores. The corpses of gods? Extract their immortality. Now, Lucian is returning from the abyss. He isn't just coming back to survive—he's coming back to recycle every Hunter who ever looked down on him. "You called me trash? Fine. Let me show you how a scavenger cleans up the world."

Mu Qiu jolted awake, the stench of decay filling his nostrils. He wasn't in his old apartment; he was sprawled on cracked asphalt, surrounded by the moans of the undead. He was reborn in the apocalypse. Worse, his body, dormant for two years, had mutated. He was a Corpse King, an apex predator with the power to devour and assimilate. Then, a voice echoed in his mind, clear and precise. [Congratulations, Host! You have successfully bound the Supreme World Sign-In System!] [You have arrived at your first sign-in location: Ravaged City Center. Reward: Holy Lord's Demonic Energy.] Mu Qiu stared at his clawed hands, the flesh pale and cold. A system? In this hellhole? [Next sign-in location: Mutated Zombie Hive. Estimated time: 12 hours.] [Daily Quest: Devour 100 Lesser Undead. Reward: Evolution Points.] [Status: Corpse King - Level 1. Evolution Points: 0. Demonic Energy: Acquired.] [Inventory: Empty.] He could see the information floating in his vision, like a translucent screen. The world was a nightmare, and survival as a human was impossible. But as a Corpse King with a system? That was a different story. [Would you like to absorb the Holy Lord's Demonic Energy?] Mu Qiu's jaw clenched. Yes. [Absorption commencing...]
