A River Runs Through It

Born in an abusive home, Steven Gold hated his Mafia Dad. He hated the wealth it brought and the sleepless nights it caused. He hated the man’s bloodshed, his cruelty, his abusive tendencies and his crying mother. He hated being born in a world of wealth. He hated being seen as his father’s disgraceful legacy; a weakling who could barely survive on his own. Now Steven will explore the world he hates to prove a point to his father. To prove he could be a better mafia and not hurt people. But with the journey comes painful discoveries, unexpected twists, an evil entanglement and deadly decisions which leads to more destruction. His father’s blood still runs in his veins and if Steven isn’t careful, he might end up being the mirror of his father.

In a world where memories are currency, what would you pay to forget... or to remember who you really are? Lyra Vale is a memory-thief-an illegal "shifter" who trades in stolen pasts for clients desperate to forget pain, shame, or secrets. In the gleaming, glass-domed city of Virelia, where the privileged buy perfection and the broken are erased, Lyra has always played by her own rules-until the day she steals a memory that belongs to her. Now hunted by the system she once served and haunted by fragments of a past she doesn't remember choosing to forget, Lyra must unravel a conspiracy that runs deeper than she ever imagined. Because the truth buried in her mind could destroy the city-or set it free. But time is running out. And in Virelia, remembering the wrong thing can get you permanently erased.

In a world where the "System" grants incredible powers, Silas is branded an Aberrant—a cosmic mistake. His "Paradoxical Path" doesn't give him magic or strength. It gives him impossible, humiliating quests. Get pecked by five chickens. Let a squirrel steal your lunch. Get slapped in public by the Guild's golden boy. Everyone in the backwater village of Oakhaven laughs at the boy with the useless System. But with every absurd challenge completed, Silas earns a hyper-specific, seemingly worthless reward: unshakeable heels, the ability to retrieve stolen items, legs that can't be knocked down. When the arrogant Stormcaller Sir Alaric and his elite squad become trapped by a dungeon's monstrous vines, they're saved not by a mighty warrior, but by a "useless" Aberrant throwing a rock in the most inexplicable way possible. Forced into the Guild's most despised division—Branch C, "Miscellaneous Problems"—Silas must now navigate a hierarchy that despises him, using his growing arsenal of bizarre abilities to solve problems no one else can (or wants to): a cursed oven, a whispering river, a cat in a tree guarded by an axe-wielding hermit. All while fending off the schemes of a noble rival determined to prove he's just a lucky fool. For Silas, every impossible quest is a stepping stone. Every humiliation is a hidden strength. And the Guild is about to learn that the greatest threat to the status quo isn't a mighty hero, but the village idiot who sees a different set of rules entirely.

"You’re fired! A man who can’t get it up doesn’t deserve to work in my company!" David Vexley lost everything in a single night. He was fired by his female boss because of his impotence. He returned home only to find his wife, Camelia, sleeping with their neighbor, Robert. Humiliated, beaten, and finally dying a pathetic death at the hands of his wife’s lover. David’s corpse was dumped into the cold river bottom like trash. However, death was not the end. His blood awakened an ancestral heirloom ring: the Eros & Thanatos System. David rose again with a perfect body. His impotence was cured, and his strength was godlike. But there was a price to pay: every time he used his power, his lifespan decreased by one day. The only way to survive was to satisfy women's desires and absorb their energy. Driven by vengeance for his mother's death and the humiliations of the past, David began his hunt. However, his first steps toward revenge led him into trouble with the most powerful Mafia organization. His arrogant former boss now kneels as his personal servant. Camelia, the treacherous wife, and Robert, the corrupt cop, are waiting their turn for hell. The Mafia kingpin awaits his wrath. "You used to mock me because I was weak. Now, you will beg for mercy at my feet." Is David ready to sacrifice everything for revenge, or will his lust kill him first? Note: Contains 21+ scenes, violence, and is highly addictive.
