Best Friend

Cyprian Fenwick was the silent architect of the Beaumont Empire—the genius strategist who turned his best friend, Alaric, into a titan and his wife, Isadora, into a queen. His reward? A bullet to the chest and a watery grave in the Blackwood River. But death was just a hostile takeover. Awakening with a blue interface flickering in his dying vision, Cyprian discovers the Soul-Code System. He is no longer a man; he is the CEO of the Dead. From the "Grey Layer" of the city, he begins to headhunt the only employees who can’t be bought: the vengeful spirits of every genius, assassin, and accountant the Beaumonts stepped on to reach the top. As the Ghost Conglomerate grows, the living world begins to bleed. Stocks crash, secrets leak, and the elite tremble at an invisible hand strangling their empire. But the System demands a price: for every tether Cyprian exerts on the living world, he must trade a piece of his humanity. In a city run by an occult cabal known as the Silver Circle, Cyprian must decide if he’s willing to become a monster to destroy them. They thought they killed a man; they just gave him a promotion.

Carter Van Alen was dumped in the rain for being poor. His best friend stole his designs. His rival stole his future. His ex married the man who ruined him. They thought he was finished. They were wrong. Carter wasn't broke. He was the sole heir to the empire that owned the city. He crashed their wedding. Bought the church. Owned the guests. And began erasing everyone who ever laughed at him. But Julian Pane had been waiting. He knew who Carter was before Carter made his move. And a man with nothing left to lose is the most dangerous thing in any room. The Council of Five had the city in a chokehold for forty years. They didn't survive Carter's patience. Now Kingston belongs to him. He doesn't forgive. He doesn't negotiate. He builds...and then he buries. And when the dust settles, only two people are left standing at the top. The King. And the woman who made him one.

Ever had your childhood best friend frame you for a crime you didn't commit just to watch you rot? My name is Adrian Volkov. Yesterday, I was a mechanic. Today, I’m a fugitive framed for murder, with my bank accounts frozen and my apartment burned to the ground. Then a lawyer showed up with a dead man’s will and a secret that changed everything. I’m the heir to a twelve-billion-euro shipping empire. But the money isn’t clean, the board is full of sharks, and the man who murdered my father is sitting at the head of the table. I have exactly ninety days to claim my seat, or the empire gets liquidated and Enzo Santi gets everything he wants. He thinks a poor mechanic doesn’t have the stomach for a corporate war. But he forgot one thing. I know how to fix broken machines. And I’m about to take this empire apart, piece by piece. I’ve got a ruthless bodyguard, a cold-blooded lawyer with a hidden agenda, and a stolen ledger that could bring them all down.

"If Death wants you to die, you must die. But if Ethan Vance wants you to live, Death can wait in line." Ethan Vance spent three years of the apocalypse keeping a small team of survivors alive. Then the Doomsday Virus took the world, and his fiancée and his best friend took his supplies and threw him to the horde. Bleeding out on the concrete, he wakes something buried under the old city: the Death's Nemesis System. It cannot heal him. But every time Ethan pulls a patient back from the edge of death, it collects what the grave had already claimed, their lifespan, their strength, their hidden talents. Now Ethan has a blade that cuts what he understands, and he understands bodies better than anyone left alive. Warlords who once ignored him will beg for his medicine. Monsters will learn to fear his scalpel. And the people who left him to die will find out what it costs to need a doctor. In a world where nobody can afford to die, the man who decides who lives holds all the power.

"You're worthless, Alex. A parasite who's been living off my daughter for three years!" Catherine's words echoed in the hospital room as Alex stood there in his stained apron, unable to pay his wife's medical bills. His card was declined. His best friend refused to help. His in-laws treated him like trash. But what they didn't know was that Alex Munroe was actually Alexander Castellano, the billionaire heir who had walked away from his empire three years ago to test if anyone would love him without his money. Now his wife Nora wants a divorce. Her family is selling her off to save themselves from bankruptcy. And Alex has exactly two weeks to decide: reveal his true identity and reclaim his power, or let the woman he loves slip away forever. What happens when the beggar becomes the king? When the powerless reveal themselves as the most powerful? And when revenge becomes the only path to redemption?

Jamal Carter was down on his luck. Broke, in debt, and on the verge of eviction, he needed a break. That's when his friend Deion offered him a ticket to an exclusive networking event. Little did Jamal know, this was just the beginning of a wild ride. He impressed the right people, including real estate mogul Leonard Marks, and soon found himself playing with the big boys. But success comes with a price. Jamal's rise to power attracted some dangerous enemies, including ruthless crime boss Vincent Morello. A silent war began, with sabotage, intimidation, and power moves being played out behind the scenes. Jamal refused to back down.

Now, Jamal's fate hangs in the balance. Will he take the safe route and sign with the Scorpions, or will he risk everything to stay true to himself? The hustler's gamble has led him to this moment. But this time, the stakes are higher than ever.

‘’Everyone died because heaven wronged me first.’’   ‘’Tell me, what should I have done when someone lived the very life I bled for?’’  ‘’Sit quietly and allow fate to mock me, or I watch the world I had lit on fire burn for my sake?’’  ☆☆☆☆☆ Five thousand years ago, two best friends were sent to Fate Heaven to compete with other races and become gods. They trained hard, showed the divine realm their skills and abilities, and they survived many tribulations. Many could become Fairy lords and Immortals, but only one could become a god.  The gods, the immortals, the contestants and even the low-level guards at the immortal gates were sure that Jiang Xing will become a god. Fate played a cruel game and his unworthy, talentless best friend was chosen instead by the Grand Divine Being.  He assumed it would not have happened if the Grand Divine had never favoured her romantically. His thoughts became the truth, the truth his burden, the burden his pain, and the pain his obsession, and gradually he became a vessel for something dangerous.  He turned the very thing they all favoured into something they all feared and came together to ruin after so much blood had been shed.  ‘’They broke me first and I made everyone regret it.’’  From an ambitious mortal cultivator who dreamed of becoming a god to becoming a devil that crushed the three realms, tore two lovers apart and rewrote his destiny.  Three souls caught in the brutal conflict of love, justice and divine madness.  Only one survived to tell the story.  ‘’Heaven is only unkind to those who chose it.’’   ☆☆☆ | Exclusive only on Meganovel and under the pen name: Nineheavens. | | Daily updates is promised. | | Original and not a translated work. |
