Survival Game

They thought he was dead and long forgotten. They were wrong! Ethan Blackwood was the joke of Westbridge the useless son-in-law, the charity case husband. Nobody knew he was the missing heir to a billion-dollar empire. Nobody knew until the night his enemies came for him. He was kidnapped, tortured and buried alive. Left to die with nothing but the echo of his wife's voice: "Ethan doesn't matter. He's nothing." Three years later, he crawled out of that grave. Now he's back, richer, deadlier and with a list of names. One by one, the people who betrayed him are falling. His brother-in-law is in prison. His father-in-law is dying. His mother-in-law is begging for mercy. And his wife the woman who sold him out is watching her world burn. --- But the deeper he digs, the darker the truth becomes. The people who buried him weren't just enemies. They were family. And the woman he swore to destroy may be the only one who can save him from becoming the monster they created.

I, Sebastian Falk, was an entirely insignificant and struggling line cook until a grotesque, mutated beast shattered my diner window to eat me alive. Right as its massive jaws snapped toward my face, I awakened the Predator's Kitchen System and slaughtered the terrifying creature with a heavy cooking skillet. The world had suddenly integrated into a brutal apocalypse where the highly toxic flesh of these new monsters was completely inedible to normal human survivors. My unique system allowed me to perfectly purify that deadly corruption and cook the monster meat into magical meals that granted immense physical strength and rapid healing. Instead of running out to fight in the doomed streets, I barricaded my ruined restaurant and started serving high-tier combat rations to desperate mercenaries in exchange for their protection. I hired a poisoned giant to work as my bouncer and recruited elite hunters to track down massive boss creatures so I could harvest their rare ingredients. My magical food made my restaurant the absolute safest sanctuary in the wasteland, which quickly attracted heavily armed warlords who wanted to enslave me for their own armies. I completely refused to let anyone take my kitchen, and I used my system to forge my culinary tools into deadly weapons to butcher anyone who threatened my territory. If you want to survive this apocalyptic nightmare, you have to follow my strict rules and pay for your meals with valuable monster cores. I am going to build an impenetrable fortress around my dining room and establish myself as the ultimate authority in this ruined world.

For three long years, Leo Sterling lived a nightmare. He slept only four hours a night, worked three exhausting delivery jobs, and starved himself just to fund his girlfriend Chloe’s luxury college life. He thought she loved him. But on their anniversary, he walked into the city’s most expensive restaurant soaking wet, carrying a cheap silver promise ring, only to find Chloe sitting on the lap of Julian Vance, a wealthy real estate billionaire. They did not just break his heart, they destroyed his dignity. Chloe mocked his poverty and threw his hard-earned ring into a boiling bowl of soup. Julian ordered his brutal thugs to drag Leo into a dark, freezing alley to break his bones and leave him for dead in the mud. But as the freezing rain washed away his blood, the extreme trauma cracked a thick wall in Leo’s mind, shattering a five-year case of amnesia. He is not a penniless orphan. He is not a useless delivery driver. He is the Supreme Sovereign of the Dragon Vanguard, the most powerful military and financial ruler in the nation, commanding millions of elite troops and controlling half the country’s wealth. Now, the king has awakened. Twelve identical luxury sedans are roaring into the dark alley, and the elite military commanders are kneeling in the dirt before a broken delivery boy. Leo is back, but he does not want quick revenge. He wants to watch Chloe and Julian climb to the absolute peak of their greedy dreams before he pulls the rug and makes them drop into pure despair. When the grand gala arrives and the spotlight locks onto the poor delivery boy, the entire high society will tremble.

They burned his past. Now he’ll burn their future. Alex Stone has spent sixteen years surviving a life that never wanted him—abandoned, abused, and invisible.

After losing his job, his apartment, and the last bit of hope he had left, Ethan Cole finds a single dollar lying on the ground—his final piece of pocket change. But the moment he picks it up, a strange message appears before his eyes: [System Activated: The God of Ruin’s Pocket Change.] The system tells him the coin in his hand doesn’t belong to an ordinary person. It belongs to the God of Ruin, a being so powerful that even thousands of dollars mean nothing more than spare change. With the system’s power, Ethan can buy things worth tens of thousands using just one dollar, acquire companies with a few coins, and manipulate fortunes across the world. But every purchase follows one terrifying rule—for every gain Ethan receives, ruin must fall somewhere else. A billionaire might lose everything overnight, corporations could collapse, and entire markets may crash just to balance the price of his fortune. As Ethan rises from a broke nobody to a man who can shake the global economy with pocket change, he slowly realizes a horrifying possibility: he may not be the one controlling the system. Instead, the God of Ruin might be using him, and every coin he spends could be buying the world’s destruction.

“In a world ruled by monsters, the weak don’t die, they’re forgotten.” I was invisible unless they needed someone to humiliate. They broke my bones. The tyrants of Aegis killed my only friend. But that day, when my blood touched the floor, something inside me awakened. A voice. A system. A power that whispered: “Adapt. Survive. Ascend.” Now I’m not the prey anymore. I’m the beginning of something they can’t control. The government thinks they own the monsters. The hunters think they own the city. Worse, the bullies at Aegis Academy think they have all the power. Big fishes in little ponds.  They are wrong. I will rise to the top, I'll overturn the hierarchy, failures will become alphas. I’ll bring anarchy upon them because I can. Because the real monster… is learning to hunt back. Watch them learn what Apex truly means.

Seventeen-year-old Rune Weaver thought his biggest problem was surviving senior year at New Haven High. Then a shadow creature attacked him in the school parking lot, and a mysterious man saved his life by throwing fire from his bare hands. Now Rune knows the truth: he is descended from an ancient line of sorcerers called Etherwind, and the darkness that destroyed his ancestors five hundred years ago has returned. He is not alone. Four other teenagers across the city have just discovered their own magical heritage, each from a different Etherwind bloodline. Together they are the last hope against Grimfall, an ancient force of living darkness that feeds on fear and despair. But learning magic is not like the movies. Their powers are wild and dangerous, and every spell they cast brings them closer to the madness that consumed their ancestors. As the shadows spread across New Haven, turning ordinary people into mindless thralls, Rune and his unlikely allies must master their abilities before Grimfall completes its return. They have six weeks until the convergence, when the barrier between worlds falls completely. Six weeks to become the sorcerers their bloodlines demand. Six weeks to save everyone they love from being swallowed by eternal night.

He never asked to be a savior. But as the corrupt Citadels tighten their grip on the weak, the boy who spent his life in hiding discovers something no tyrant can control: limitless potential.
