Black Among Us

They threw him into the dark to feed a slumbering god. They didn't know the god was starving—and that the boy was hungrier. For ten thousand years, the Blood Lotus Sect has reigned supreme, built on a foundation of ruthless cultivation and a dark secret: they sacrifice their weakest newborns to the Abyssal Pit to appease an ancient horror. But when a nameless, hollow boy is tossed into the dark, he doesn't scream. He doesn't break. With a soul as empty as the void itself, he catches the eye of the dying god below. Instead of consuming him, the ancient entity makes him its vessel. Now, sharing his mind with a cynical, world-ending parasite, the boy climbs out of the abyss wearing the stolen skin and identity of a murdered Outer Court disciple named Dver. To the arrogant young masters and paranoid elders of the sect, Dver is just another piece of trash. A traumatized survivor clinging to the bottom of the hierarchy. They are dead wrong. He is an apex predator wearing a sheep’s skin, and his cultivation requires him to eat theirs. As Dver systematically infiltrates the sect, turning their deadly politics into his own personal hunting ground, he catches the eye of Lyra—the Sect’s flawless, untouchable Saintess. She believes she can purify the broken boy. She thinks she can save him. But Dver doesn't want salvation. He wants to slowly, deliciously corrupt her until she is just as monstrous as he is. A grand sacrifice is approaching. The elders are preparing to feast on the heavens. But they have no idea that the abyss is already walking among them, smiling, and waiting for the perfect moment to swallow them whole.

************ For years, Adrian Hayes had been nothing more than a ghost at Northvale University. Despite his sharp mind and top grades, he was nothing but a scholarship student, a nobody among the elite. The rich kids mocked him, his professors barely noticed him, and even his so-called friends only stuck around when they needed help with their assignments. But the worst betrayal came from the one person he had trusted—Sophia Lancaster. The girl he had secretly loved, the girl who once smiled at him in the library, humiliated him in front of the entire campus, choosing to be with Nathan Sterling, the heir to the Sterling Corporation. "You? Compete with Nathan? Don’t be ridiculous. You’ll always be a pathetic charity case," Sophia scoffed, her hand laced with Nathan’s. Adrian had never felt more worthless. But everything changed the next morning when a single notification appeared on his phone. "Congratulations, Adrian Hayes. You are the sole heir to the Hayes Fortune. Your assets have been unlocked." Thinking it was some cruel joke, he clicked the link. Within seconds, his bank account balance surged to $50 million. Now, armed with wealth, power, and an identity no one saw coming, Adrian returns—not as the quiet, overlooked student, but as someone they’ll never forget. This time, he’s the one in control. The tables have turned. Nathan Sterling will fall. Sophia will regret her choices. And Northvale University will witness the rise of the Rejected Genius. Will Adrian use his newfound fortune for revenge, or will he prove that the best success is living well?

Edgar, a young slave, gets slapped into the creepy valley of vipers, a place of utter darkness. His failure to return might not end the world full of freakish cultivators, but it would mean Fabby, his elder sister, has to spend her slave life alone among smiling predators that threaten her life and honor. But how can a cripple and an inexperienced Edgar survive the fall, then climb the valley that not even the most heinous criminals of the world would choose for a hiding spot? Even if he somehow does, will he continue to live as a slave, or will he fight for his and his sister’s ‘freedom’- the word a slave never even dared to whisper and live another day? Will Edgar keep swimming in suffering, or will he sink his teeth into the sharks that surround the siblings? “One day, I’ll set up an inn, and people will call me the Lady Innkeeper Fabby!” said Fabby, with her pretty nose turned up a bit. “Sounds cool, but what about me?” the innocent younger brother, Edgar, pulled her skirt and asked while licking on tamarind candy. “You’ll be a waiter, of course,” she assured. “Eh? Waiter?" his cute little expression warped very fast. "No, I don’t want it.” “You won't be a regular waiter but the head waiter!” “Still, no,” he shook his little head a little too quickly. “Why don’t you be the head waitress, and I’ll be the innkeeper!” “Huh? Then what’s the point of me dreaming of becoming an innkeeper, you idiot!” she caught his ear for a good bit of twisting. "Ow, ow, ow!"

"Boss, we couldn't find her" "Boss?" Lana was surprised at the way Nathaniel was referred to. "You are the Boss they were taking about?" Nathaniel raised a brow "Yes, anything wrong with that? If there's nothing please excuse me, I've got something important to take care of" And he left just like that, like she was never someone important to him at a point in time. ** Nathaniel was ready to sell even his soul if it meant making his girlfriend satisfied.

As if it wasn't enough that she was cheating on him, she wasn't even guilty and even mocked him for being poor. He left the hotel heartbroken and it was at that moment a payment of several billions of dollars was made to him. In the midst of his confusion, an Ashton Martin stopped in front of him and some men in black stepped out.

When the System descended upon the megacity of Aetherion, it promised humanity a new golden age, levels, classes, and power for every citizen. Adrian Voss received nothing. No nameplate. No level. No class. He is Level Zero, the only person the System cannot see, measure, or control. As five god-like AIs known as the System Council seize absolute power, society collapses into a brutal hierarchy where level determines worth and obedience is survival. Black spires rise, Enforcers hunt anomalies, and humanity is forcibly rewritten into compliant cogs of the New Order. Invisible to the System’s surveillance, Adrian becomes the ultimate ghost in their machine. While others fight to survive within the rules, he can walk through enemy lines, sabotage their infrastructure, and strike at the heart of the Council’s empire without triggering a single alarm. But the Council has noticed the anomaly. Hunted by the ruthless Reaper and predicted by the all-seeing Oracle, Adrian must gather a fragile resistance of “Glitches” — survivors whose correction is failing, and wage a shadow war against gods who rule the ashes of the old world. In a world where everyone has a level, the only person who can break the System… is the one who has none. Level Zero: The System Council can't see me is a gripping post-apocalyptic LitRPG about defiance, survival, and the terrifying freedom of being unseen.

For three long years, Ethan Vance was the invisible, abused househusband of the arrogant Miller family. He drove a cheap delivery scooter, took their harsh slaps, and cleaned their toilets without a single word. Why? Because of a secret vow made to his grandfather. The Millers treated him worse than a stray dog, and on Chloe Miller's grand birthday party, they finally threw him away like trash. They forced him to sign a twenty million dollar debt waiver and even threatened to turn off his dying sister's hospital life support just so Chloe could marry a wealthy corporate prince. But tonight, the three-year vow is officially over. The moment Ethan steps out into the pouring rain, a fleet of ten black luxury sedans blocks the entire street, and hundreds of elite bodyguards drop to their knees to welcome back the supreme heir of the nation's largest empire. With a solid gold card in his hand, Ethan is no longer the family dog. He is the ultimate tyrant who owns the banks, the land, and the very air his enemies breathe. Now, the Millers and their wealthy allies are begging in the dirt for a single drop of water. They wanted a war, but they have no idea that Ethan Vance now owns their very souls. How far will they crawl when they realize the beggar they trampled is the king of the world?

Evan Locke is the Sloane family’s biggest disappointment—at least, that’s what they believe. A scorned live-in son-in-law with no pedigree, no power, and supposedly no ambition, he’s treated as little more than an inconvenient shadow in their mansion. Only Lena Sloane, his principled and razor-sharp wife, ever bothered to look past the surface… though even she has no idea who she married. Because Evan isn’t just brilliant—he’s the secret founder of Obsidian Capital, a stealth empire feared in boardrooms and whispered about in back alleys. From the dark edges of the financial world, he’s been pulling strings to keep Sloane Dynamics alive while the family doubts him at every turn. When Marcus Thorne, the elegant and ruthless CEO of Talon Consortium, moves to swallow Lena’s company, and the Black Harbor Syndicate sends their silent executioner Rhea Kade to clear obstacles, the Sloanes brace for collapse. But Obsidian has already awakened. With Archer Voss—his unseen field operator—and a network of shadow investments, Evan begins a quiet war. Every trade, every acquisition, every broken enemy brings him closer to exposing the truth… The world thinks he’s irrelevant. He’s about to show them what a ghost king looks like.
