He didn’t ask to be a weapon. But he sure as hell is going to use it.

He thought he had the perfect wife. He was wrong. Lyon had spent five years believing Racheal was the woman who loved him, supported him, and waited faithfully for him to come home. Until one night, he walked into his boss’s bedroom and found her there. What shattered him even more than the betrayal was discovering that Racheal wasn't a helpless victim. When Lyon tried to save her, she turned against him and his own colleagues bowed before her as though she were someone far more powerful than he ever imagined.

In a realm where strength is the ultimate currency, one man's journey to the pinnacle of power begins with the ultimate betrayal. Cast aside by those he sacrificed everything for, the young man breathes his last breath with a fervent prayer to the gods. He promises that if given another chance, he would live solely for himself, pursuing his desires and following only his own will. His plea is answered by a bored deity craving entertainment. The god offers to reincarnate him into a fantastical world. As a caveat, the young man is granted six absolute talents of his choosing, ensuring he will possess unparalleled talents in comprehension, cultivation, alchemy, bloodline and body cultivation, combat, and formations. Armed with these extraordinary gifts, the man is thrust into a ruthless cultivation world where only the strong survive. With a newfound resolve to live for himself, he embarks on a relentless quest for power and vengeance, determined to rise above all who stand in his way. His journey is filled with epic battles, mysterious allies, and formidable foes, as he strives to entertain the god who bestowed upon him this second chance. In a world where strength reigns supreme, will he succeed in his quest for dominance and revenge, or will the whims of the gods and the trials of the cultivation world prove too great?

He died a failure. Betrayed, broke, and bleeding out in a Brooklyn alley. Ethan Hayes had nothing—no money, no respect, no future. His fiancée cheated with his best friend. His boss fired him for refusing to break the law. His family called him worthless. At 34, a bullet ended his miserable existence. Then he woke up at 22. Senior year at NYU. Same betrayals looming. But this time, he's not alone. [REGRET REVERSAL SYSTEM ACTIVATED] "Host, you died like a side character. Want to rewrite the script and make them the punchline?"

From broke student to untouchable billionaire. Face-slaps. Revenge. Power. And the women who once rejected him? They're about to learn what they missed. New York won't know what hit it.

But one mistake, one moment of overconfidence, sent his world crashing down. When Orion wakes up, he’s no longer the man he once was. His name, his riches, his empire—gone. Instead, he finds himself in the body of Leo Torres, a poor factory worker struggling to survive. A life Orion would’ve dismissed as worthless is now his only reality. As he navigates Leo’s harsh world, he begins to uncover the consequences of his old life—the pain he caused, the lives he shattered, and the humanity he lost along the way. But there’s something else, something deeper: a strange feeling that this isn’t just a punishment. It’s a chance. But a chance for what? Redemption? Revenge? Or something more mysterious lurking beneath the surface of his second life? In a world where the powerful fall and the forgotten rise, Orion must uncover the truth—not just about his new life, but about himself. Some doors, once opened, can never be closed.

--- Title: After My Murder I Returned Blurb: I died once. Like, actually died. Knife in my ribs. Parking garage. My girlfriend, Melanie Rivers, watching while the guy she was sleeping with — Adonis Daniels — did it. All for money. Money I gave her. So, uh, imagine my surprise when I wake up... ten years earlier. Two weeks before I ever meet Melanie. I remember everything. Every bad choice. Every dollar I wasted. Every call from my dad, Damien Reed, that I ignored. Every time my mom, Sophia, cried and I wasn’t there. Every time my best friend, Jonah Carter, tried to save me and I told him to stay out of it. This time? I’m not making the same mistakes. I put the 2M into NexPay — the startup I screwed over last time. Now I’m the youngest self-made billionaire in the country. CEO of Reed Capital Group. Forbes cover. The whole thing. And Melanie? Adonis? Her stepdad Douglas who, uh, ordered the hit? They’re broke. And I own their debt. But it’s not just revenge. It’s Damien, who’s secretly sick and I only have one chance to save him. It’s Sophia, who I lost for seven years because I was too proud to come home. It’s Jonah, who drank himself to death cleaning up my messes last time. It’s... Amber Evans. An ER doctor who’s nothing like Melanie, and I have no idea how to be normal around someone who’s actually good for me. So yeah. Second life. Second pulse. Last time, I died for love. This time? I’m making them earn it. Tags: #Rebirth #Revenge #Billionaire #FamilyDrama #SecondChance #FaceSlap #Urban #MaleLead #NoHarem

Alex Mercer never thought his life would end on a rainy night, skidding off a slick highway in his beat-up car. But death wasn't the end; it was just the beginning of his nightmare. Waking up in the fiery depths of hell, Alex faced Lucifer himself, a devilish grin plastered across the fallen angel's face. "You were destined for eternal torment," Lucifer said, his voice smooth as silk yet carrying the weight of countless damnations. "But I have a proposition for you." The deal was simple yet horrifying. If Alex wanted a second chance at life, he had to rid the Earth of Lucifer's escaped minion demons who had broken their chains and now wreaked havoc among the living. The reward? A ticket back to hell, but this time as Lucifer's lieutenant rather than a prisoner.

Armed with these abilities, Alex is sent back to Earth, but not as the man he once was. Now, he's something more a hunter, a reaper of the damned. Yet as Alex fights to send demons back to hell, he begins to question the true cost of the deal. What will remain of his soul when the last demon falls? And can he trust Lucifer, the Prince of Lies, to keep his word?
