A Dish Best Served Cold

Alex Reed is the trash of the Jenkins family. For three years, he’s washed their clothes, cooked their meals, and taken their insults just to please his girlfriend, Sarah. But on their anniversary, Sarah doesn't give him a gift; she gives him a breakup note and climbs into a luxury car with his worst enemy. Left in the rain, Alex thinks his life is over until a mechanical voice rings in his head: "Divine Upgrade System activated. Your first reward: 100 Billion Dollars and the Global Martial Arts skill." Now, Alex is the richest and most powerful man on the planet, but there’s a catch. To fully unlock his inheritance, he can’t reveal his true identity for one year. While his ex-girlfriend and her new man try to crush him, Alex plays the long game. He marries the beautiful and cold CEO, Chloe Miller, in a contract marriage to help her save her business. Everyone thinks he’s a useless moocher living off a woman, but they don't know that the CEO they worship is actually working for him.

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?" With a sarcastic AI system that rewards him for reversing past humiliations, Ethan gets a second chance—and he's taking everything. The startup his roommate stole? He'll build it first and crush him. The ex who cheated? She'll beg on her knees. The corrupt elites who stepped on him? They'll kneel before the king they created. From NYU dorms to Wall Street towers. 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.

The sky split apart. A mysterious System descended. The world turned into hell. Mutant zombies, ancient monsters, and tyrant Lords hunt the remaining humans. Civilization collapses, hunger spreads everywhere, and hope is nearly extinct. Yet in the middle of the apocalypse, one man rises. Axel. While others struggle merely to survive, Axel awakens a forbidden talent: [1000x Critical Chance]. One tree cut down… becomes a forest. One monster slain… becomes a mountain of resources. One fortress built… becomes an impregnable city. The ruined world becomes the foundation of his empire. Together with Abby, a strategic genius with a heart as cold as steel, Axel begins building something greater than a mere shelter. An Absolute Fortress. An empire rising from the ashes of the apocalypse. The tyrant Lords will fall. Monsters from other worlds will be harvested. Even the Ruler of the System will be challenged. Because in this chaotic world, only one law remains: Everything Axel touches… becomes 1000 times deadlier. And this time, he doesn't just want to survive. He wants to rule the world.

"This world doesn't need a hero. A broken world just needs a ruler crueler than any monster out there." Jonathan was left bleeding out on the wet asphalt. His fiancée walked away arm-in-arm with a rich boss, right as the city sky ripped open and monsters rained down to swallow the streets. Just as his breath was fading, a cold, mechanical voice buzzed in his head: [Critical Condition. Initiating Alpha Evolution System Synchronization.] Instead of dying, Jonathan got back up. Saving the world? He couldn't care less. He used the system for one thing only: hunting. From the street thugs who stomped on his head, corrupt military generals acting tough, to giant apocalyptic monsters—he butchered them all. He drained their energy to evolve. Now, so-called 'Gods' from other dimensions are descending to Earth because they feel threatened. They think Jonathan is just a street rat who got lucky with a cheat. Let them come. Jonathan only sees them as one thing: dinner for his next evolution.

"I can't marry you, Benjamin." Emily said, staring at the small box in front of her with cold eyes. She had not expected him to go this far.

Benjamin Moore is a man of principles, humility and a strong sense of protectiveness towards the ones he loves, he is willing to go the extra mile no matter what it costs him.

But his decision costs him the woman he loves and has been with for several years. However, everything changes when his mother's deteriorating health demands more than just a minor sacrifice. Pulling not just him back into the world he had barely escaped, but his loved ones as well. Now Benjamin must make a decision to save three things; his family's legacy, his mother, or the woman who broke his heart.

What if I told you that they were right? That Bigfoot, The Abominable Snowman, The Loch Ness monster and yes, even The Boogey man were actually real? What if I told you your parents were right when they told you that there are monsters and demons that lurked in the shadows at night? I have seen those monsters, through visions of prophecy and none have baffled me more than The Marauder and The Supremes. Beings even Science could not explain, creatures that held godlike power for so long and walked among us as both oppressors and at times, as saviors. This is one such prophecy I had that I had to put on paper. Call it a story if you wish (it would actually make me feel less crazy). But this is the story of Brendan Payne; the sixteen year old high school boy who went from a regular teenager to finding out that he was not human but instead was born into a race of beings that were believed to be the final and perfect stage of evolution. And by finding out his destiny, Brendan is torn between fighting for the humans who resented him and joining forces with the callous yet beautiful witch, Finch, who claims to have his best interests at heart. This...is The Legend Of Marauder

Osric Thorne was the discarded heir of the Thorne shipping empire, a man who thought he had everything until his wife, Elowen Vane, and his best friend, Cuthbert, threw him off the Gilded Sovereign in the middle of a Category 5 storm. With his feet chained to an anchor and the scent of Elowen's expensive perfume lingering in the salt air, Osric was meant to be a forgotten feast for the scavengers of the abyss. Instead, his family’s "worthless" heirloom—the Abyssal Pearl—reacts to his dying rage. Fusing with his heart, the pearl awakens the [Leviathan Evolution System]. In the crushing, lightless depths of the Atlantic, Osric doesn't drown...he adapts. By consuming the apex predators of the sea, he gains their power: the obsidian armor of the great white, the bio-electric discharge of the deep-sea eel, and the terrifying sonar of the prehistoric leviathan. Now, a monster is rising from the depths. Osric Thorne isn't coming back just to reclaim his company; he’s coming back to dismantle the Vane legacy piece by piece and turn the surface world into his personal hunting ground. He was once a man of the boardrooms, but he has returned as the Warden-King of the Abyss. The elites of Oakhaven are about to learn a bitter truth: the ocean doesn't forgive, and neither does Osric Thorne.

Will he find a way to forgive, to protect what matters, and finally claim the life and love he’s always deserved?
