Mystère

For thr‌ee years, Ethan⁠ Vance was the joke of the city. To his screaming mother-i‍n-l⁠aw, he was a penniless loser who could barely‍ budget the groceries. To the elite corporate clans‌, he was a nameles‍s parasit⁠e ridin‍g the coat-tails of his beautiful wife, Chloe⁠. He washed‌ th‍eir dishes, t‌ook their insu‌lts, an‌d stayed entirely silent. They thought he was a nobody. They forgot who mapped the⁠ mountains. ⁠Fo‌ur year‌s‌ ago, Ethan was the Suprem‍e Comma‍nde‍r of the Veridian Vanguard, the "Shadow E‌mperor" b‌etrayed a‍nd left for dead by‌ the co‌ntinent's ruling alliance. His three years of domestic⁠ exile weren'‍t a r‍etreat; they we‍re a countd⁠own. Now, the allianc⁠e has cros⁠sed the line‍, targeti⁠ng his wife’s compan‌y and pushing his f‍amily to t⁠he brink. The c⁠ountdown is over. The⁠ God-Sla‍yer batteries are charging‍, the‌ hidden Shadow Legion is emerging fro⁠m the dark, and Ethan‍ is fina‌lly stepp‌ing out o‍f the k‌i‌tchen. The elite clans‍ wanted a war. But the und‍erestimated son-in-law is abou⁠t to collect every‌ single receipt, and he wo‌n't stop until the e⁠ntire cont‌inen‍t is burning at his wife‍'s feet.

"My mother is dying," Ethan begged. On the other end of the phone came a cold reply. "Director Morgan is busy attending a dog's birthday party. Stop bothering her." For four years, Ethan Cole sacrificed everything for his wife, Sophia Morgan. While she built a billion-dollar pharmaceutical empire, he remained in the shadows, enduring humiliation from her family and being treated worse than a servant. Then his mother died alone in a hospital bed. Sophia never came. Instead, she chose a wealthy man's dog over the woman who had secretly saved her company countless times. That night, Ethan burned the legendary Phoenix Remedy—a formula worth hundreds of billions—and walked away from his marriage forever. "We're getting divorced." Sophia laughed. "You are nothing without me. You'll come crawling back like a stray dog." But she never knew the truth. The husband she despised was the hidden heir of a powerful family. The man she called worthless possessed medical skills capable of shocking the world. As powerful tycoons, financial empires, and underworld forces begin fighting for Ethan's favor, Sophia watches everything she built crumble before her eyes. When she finally discovers who he really is, regret comes too late. "Ethan... please come back." Ethan's gaze turns icy. "When my mother needed you most, where were you?" A betrayed husband. A hidden heir. A legendary doctor. This time, the people who broke him will pay for every tear they caused.

He walks the palace halls wearing a prince’s face and speaks a hero’s words but every night, another body falls but behind his smile lies a blood-drenched secret. They say he came back from a coma. The truth is, he came back from the dead. When Prince Kairo returns from a decade-long coma, the kingdom of Caelwyn rejoices. But their hope is misplaced. Because the man behind the youthful eyes is not the prince. It is his uncle Malrick Vale, a disgraced noble once thought dead who has carved himself into his nephew’s likeness through years of planning and surgical reconstruction. He claims to avenge the friend the crown betrayed. But his true desire is darker. He craves what only power can give him: the freedom to kill whomever he chooses, whenever he desires. The mask of royalty offers protection. The crown offers complete control. Only one woman knows the truth. Sheila Ren, a former maid who narrowly escaped his blade years ago, becomes obsessed with exposing the monster beneath the mask. Alongside Tate Wyvern, a disgraced royal guard tormented by guilt and bound to justice, she risks everything to stop a man who has fooled a kingdom and who will never stop hunting his prey. And they must stop him before he turns the entire kingdom into his hunting ground. Because once he sets his sights on you… you’re already dead. But in a world where mirrors lie and monsters wear crowns, who will the people believe?

They called me a loser. They laughed when I got dumped in the rain. They thought my life was over. They were wrong. My name is Leo Vance. Twenty-four years old, junior analyst, three years of savings thrown away on an engagement ring my ex-girlfriend never wanted. The night she left me for Richard — the arrogant heir of my own company — something inside me broke. Or maybe something finally woke up. An old coin I bought at a flea market years ago cut my palm. Blood met metal. And then I heard it. **[Ding! Omni-Investment System activated.]** Now I see what nobody else can. Above every person, every object, every decision — glowing numbers. Investment return rates. Percentages. Exact outcomes. A beggar on the street? *Invest $50. Return: 10,000%.* A "worthless" painting at auction? *Hidden masterpiece. Return: 4,000%.* A quiet intern everyone ignores? *Key to destroying your enemy. Return: 5,000%.* I started with fifty dollars. Within a week, I had a million. Within a month, Richard was on his knees, his family's empire crumbling because of information only I could see. But money was just the beginning. The deeper I go, the more I realize this system doesn't just show financial returns. It shows martial secrets, ancient techniques, hidden powers buried in this city's underworld. The people who laughed at me? They're about to learn what happens when a nobody sees everything. I don't get angry. I don't beg. I invest. And I always collect.

In 2030, a giant wormhole appeared above the Pacific Ocean. Scientists believed that it was a portal leading to another world besides earth. The United Nations decided to send a drone to investigate this phenomenon, but one hour after the drone entered, disaster struck. The wormhole suddenly became twice as large followed by a yellow gas pouring out. Two brothers, Lee Young-soo and Lee Min-su watched from a Television store, as their mother died while reporting the incident for South Korea's International News Station. ******** With the camera on her, she raised the mic to her lips and started speaking. “Young-soo, if you're watching this with Min-su, I want you to cover his eyes. Don’t let him see this.” Young-soo who was by his brother’s side raised his left hand and covered his eyes. “No!” Min-su protested and tried to remove his brother’s hand, but it stayed firm over his eyes. Young-soo was watching his mother on the television screen with slightly red eyes, as he bit his bottom lip so hard a few droplets of blood fell to the ground. “I want the both of you to know that I love you with all my heart and that I’m sorry I won’t be able to see the two of you go off to college and get married someday.” Tears started to fall from her eyes as she spoke her next words. “Young-soo, I want you to protect Min-su when I’m gone, and... Crash!!” With a violent jerk, the yellow gas engulfed the helicopter causing the cameraman to drop the camera, cutting off the transmission.

Luke West, is a 21-year-old college slacker, has two great passions in life—gaming and skipping class. But if there’s one thing he truly despises, it’s rodents. Rats, in particular. Creepy, sneaky, and downright disgusting. He can’t stand the sight of them. One fateful day, on his way to pick up the latest game release, Luke is hit by a truck. Just before the darkness takes him, he catches a glimpse of something impossible—a rat grinning at him. When he wakes up, it’s not in a hospital bed. No, it’s worse. Much worse. He’s been reincarnated as a rat. A creature he’s hated his whole life. Forced to live among the very vermin he loathes, Luke is determined to survive, plotting a way to escape this nightmare. But the more time he spends among the rats and other beastmen, the more he starts to see the truth: maybe it’s not the rats or the beastmen who are the problem—maybe humans are the real pests. Just when he’s coming to terms with his new life, he learns of a brewing revolution. The rats and their fellow brethren are planning to rise up and overthrow humanity. War is coming, and Luke must decide where he truly belongs. Excerpt: “If I get out of this alive, I’m going vegan,” Luke muttered, scampering through the sewer. “Who’s alive?” a rat beside him snickered. “You’re one of us now. Get used to cheese cravings.” “I hate cheese,” Luke hissed. The older rat raised a brow. “Oh, sweet summer child. Give it time.”

"To others, you are a broken genius. To me? You’re just a frozen furnace waiting for a spark.” ​Lu Chen was a failed librarian in his past life, framed and killed for secrets he didn't possess. But when he transmigrates into the body of the most pathetic, "trash" teacher at Aetheria Academy, he doesn't come alone. He brings the Divine Lust Library. ​In a world gripped by the Great Chill, where the heavens are freezing and the world's most beautiful female geniuses are falling into "Permafrost Congestion," Lu Chen is the only man with the cure. ​The Academy says he's a fraud. The 2-Star Teachers call him a pervert. The noble "Geniuses" claim he’s a lunatic. ​But as Lu Chen looks at the arrogant Princesses and the "Ice-Cold" Saintesses, all he sees are Defects. ​[Diagnosis:Frost-Phoenix Bloodline Blockage.] ​[Remedy:Manual Yang Stimulation & Deep-Tissue Fluid Exchange.] ​[Instruction: “Student, strip your robes. If you want to reach the Nascent Soul Realm tonight, you must endure your Master’s... sacred frequency.”] ​With a library that reveals every woman's hidden weakness and a cultivation path that turns "shameless acts" into "God-tier power," Lu Chen begins his journey. ​He doesn't just teach; he conquers. He doesn't just heal; he defiles. ​From a dusty, creaking office to the Imperial Throne, Lu Chen will show the world that in the path of the Heavens, there is no greater power than the Harmony of Yin and Yang. ​“Master, is this... really a lesson?” “Quiet, Qin Yue. The Library never lies. Now, arch your back. We have three more meridians to clear before sunrise.”

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.

13 Heavens: Rise of the Bloodline Dreg The Aura is back. And the world will never be the same. Three years ago, the Great Revival flooded Earth with cosmic energy. Cities turned into wild jungles. Skyscrapers were wrapped in massive, deadly plants. Legendary beasts roamed the streets of New York. And the only rule left? Power, the power to cultivate. Leo Kaelen was born with everything. A name from one of the five ancient bloodlines. A future full of promise. And now… he has nothing. “Bloodline Dreg,” they sneer. “Scavenger,” they call him. His family is disgraced. Their cultivation methods lost. And Leo is forced to survive in a city that wants him dead, fighting for scraps while monsters hunt him at every turn. Then, during a fight for his life in a long-forgotten ancient site, Leo discovers something that changes everything: a celestial system has awakened inside him. “You… you’re not ready for this,” the system warns. “I have no choice,” Leo snaps. This is the Path of the Perfect Foundation. Where others celebrate reaching the 11th level of cultivation, Leo is forced toward the unheard-of 13th. Where others build stable Foundations, he must forge a Chaos Foundation. Where others strengthen their skin to deflect knives, he must harden his to Diamond Hide. It’s a curse. And it’s the ultimate weapon. In a city ruled by ruthless families and crawling with primordial beasts, Leo must hide his impossible power. Every secret level he unlocks brings him closer to the truth behind the Aura Revival and closer to becoming the target of every force that wants to control the new world… or watch it burn. In a world of giants, the one with the deepest foundation will rise highest.

As he considered the attack on Atlantis City, Drake's face darkened for a moment, but he shook his head to clear his mind and looked the king in the eye.I can only say that I was going about my business in the city from which I came when it was suddenly bombed.I was, as far as I could tell, the only one who made it through that.After that, I fell down a shaft, struck my head as I fell, and eventually fell asleep.Next thing I knew, I was here in chains.I'd rather keep things that way;I really do not want to discuss my past right now.Everything just went missing. The observers debated what they had heard as more murmurs and hisses filled the grotto. "I'm expecting that by 'bombarded' you imply that your city was gone after, right?"The crowd's murmuring was stopped when the king asked. Shortly after, Drake replied, "Completely leveled."Bastian tapped the high position arm with a claw a couple of times as he suspected peacefully.After that, he stood up straight and spoke loudly enough for everyone to hear. Bastian stated, "I would easily be able to say you’re not guilty of anything" if this decision were simpler to make.While the crowd erupted into a hystearical commotion, Andromon and Prismo shared a brief glance, displaying a hint of surprise.However, "I'm afraid I can't just let you off the hook, after your involvement with the actual thief's escape," he continued, immediately silencing the grotto.
