Best Stephen King

In the dark heart of Havencroft, where shadows rule and blood stains every deal, trust is hard to come by, and betrayal is always around. Enzo "Ghost" Dalca was never meant to be more than a faceless enforcer for the city's most ruthless crime families. Enzo was quiet, untouchable, and deadly. His only loyalty was to his mentor, the old kingpin who taught him everything he knows. But when that mentor is killed in a ruthless power grab, Enzo is set up for the crime and left to rot. Now, all the groups in Havencroft want to kill him. Enzo finds a web of corruption that is much bigger than he thought it would be, with only revenge and a desire for justice left. A secret group of powerful people, the real leaders of the city's criminal empire, has the keys to his mentor's death and the chaos that is about to destroy them all. Enzo starts to make his way to power with the help of a deadly ex-assassin looking for redemption, a brilliant hacker with her own secrets, and his loyal crew, who are ready for war. But with every betrayal, Enzo knows one thing for sure: in Havencroft, when you rise, the city burns. Every ally turns out to be a possible enemy. He wasn't born to follow orders. He was WARBOUND. As the Ghost of Havencroft, he is ready to take the throne at any cost.

The Demon Lord had grown weary of his existence as the strongest being alive. Power no longer thrilled him; victory had lost its taste. The only thing he now looked forward to was listening to the stories of Lucian, a human captive. Of all the tales Lucian told, the Demon Lord most enjoyed those about the quiet lives of ordinary humans — their laughter, struggles, and fleeting joys. He envied that simplicity and secretly wished he could experience it himself. One day, as Lucian spoke, the demons under his rule rose in rebellion. They gathered their strength and turned against their lord. The Demon Lord, instead of resisting, welcomed the uprising. At last, he saw a chance to end his long, lonely reign. When he fell, his powerful soul refused to fade. It drifted through the void for centuries, searching, wandering — until it found a newborn’s body, one that had just died moments before. And just like that, the Demon Lord began life anew — as an ordinary human. But some beings, no matter how they try, can never truly remain ordinary.

Mercy is a luxury when currency of survival is lifespan. Crackle . . . hiss . . . boom . . . rain falls on corpses. The storey opens on the mountain of the dead - the last battlefield of the human race. Li Wei, who is a broken man under the curse of accelerated ageing, stands among the ruins of the Ancient God. His shaking hands hold a divine artefact - The Eye of Judgement. His body decays. His breath comes out in broken gasps - huff, cough, splat. And then… betrayal. The only family he's ever had - his sister, Li Xue - looks coldly on as she drives the dagger deeper into his chest. Thud… hiss… crackle… She calls him "nothing but an adopted mistake." A man named Yang Xun, brilliantly like an idol of deceit, thanks him mockingly. That's when Li Wei realises - the world doesn't reward love. It rewards survival. When he dies, something ancient is roused inside The Eye of Judgement. And when he opens his eyes again - it's 2025, the day the god forsaken game, LYTABern, descends upon Earth.

For three years, Damian Cross had concealed his true identity as the head of the $350 billion USD Apex Sovereign consortium, living a modest life as an ordinary son-in-law in order to honour a promise he had made to his wife’s late grandfather. However, on the night of the celebration marking his company’s listing on the stock exchange, Clarissa Caldwell threw divorce papers in his face in front of hundreds of New Avalon business tycoons. Clarissa had cast him aside for Julian Kingsley the arrogant heir she believed had been the driving force behind her business success. Unbeknownst to Clarissa, the interest-free loans, the licence for the Nano-Cell V7 patent formula, and the mega-tenders that had propelled her to fame all stemmed from the secret orders of the very man she had just cast aside: Damian Cross. The moment the divorce papers were signed, the sleeping dragon awoke. Damian withdrew all the bailout funds, froze the patent licence, and left the Caldwell family to taste ruin without the shadow of his protection. Whilst Clarissa panicked as her shares plummeted and Julian was exposed as nothing more than a cunning braggart mired in tens of millions of dollars of casino debt, Damian had stepped onto the world stage alongside Seraphina Vale the most powerful woman in New Avalon. Now, the Caldwell family are on their knees begging for mercy. But for Damian, the spectacle of retribution has only just begun.
