Brave

Marcus West was about to swallow a handful of pills when someone started pounding on his door. Three years ago, he had everything. A restaurant he built from nothing. A wife who believed in him. A future. Now he's got $186,000 in medical debt, a dead wife, and a condemned hotel room in the Tenderloin. Then Jerome shows up bleeding, holding a USB drive and gasping: "They did it to you too. Here's proof." Turns out Marcus's life didn't fall apart by accident. His restaurant was sabotaged. His wife was a federal agent murdered for protecting him. His father was killed for knowing too much. The same people destroyed all of them. Now Marcus has something they didn't expect: the Karmic Debt System. A power that turns suffering into currency. Every nightmare, every loss, every moment of pain—it all has value now. And Marcus has been suffering for a very long time. They took everything from him. He is about to take it back and with interest. Can Marcus tear down the empire that destroyed everything he loved before the debt consumes him? Or will his quest for vengeance cost him what little humanity he has left?

They thought he was trash but he awakened a deadly skill that none could rival. Disowned by his father and murdered by his brother, Kael Ashworth was supposed to be a forgotten stain on his family’s legacy. Instead, he found something in the abyss—an ancient, hungry entity that offered him a second chance.

Aiden Crowne was the genius behind the most powerful financial AI ever created, Neural-Wealth. He was a billionaire, a visionary, and a man deeply in love. But on a rainy night in the toxic slums of District 13, his world shattered. His wife, Gina, and his best friend, Lewis, stripped him of his fortune, his company, and finally, his life.

They auctioned his dignity at a black-tie gala. Eight million dollars, and he still said no. Rohen Ashtekar is the family nobody — the valet son-in-law, the charity case, the man not worth a second glance. When his wife’s powerful grandmother withdraws funding for his dying sister’s treatment, Rohen has nothing left to lose. Or so they believe. What no one knows — not his cruel in-laws, not his wife, not the man who offered eight million dollars to take her — is that Rohen is the secret CEO of the Avalon Collective. One hundred and forty billion dollars. The grandest hotel empire in the world. And the Grand Celestine Hotel, where he parks cars every night? He owns it. One Hundred and Forty Billion Reasons is a story about patience, power, and the dangerous mistake of underestimating a quiet man.

"DESTROY HIS DANTIAN!" Ma Durung shouted with a booming voice. Immediately, several disciples tightened their grip on Zhao Yun. The command from Ma Durung, the crown prince of the Ma Kingdom and a prodigious disciple of the Black Dragon Sect, was carried out without hesitation by his subordinates. Zhao Yun, forced to kneel with both his hands firmly restrained by two of Ma Durung's followers, was in a dire situation. His mouth was gagged with cloth, silencing any attempt to cry for help. Worse, his qi flow had been sealed by Ma Durung's personal guards, rendering him powerless to resist. With desperation in his eyes, Zhao Yun glanced toward his three closest friends. His gaze pleaded for their help, a silent cry for salvation. But to his dismay, his friends turned their faces away, avoiding his gaze entirely. Witnessing their betrayal, Zhao Yun could only grimace inwardly. Those he had considered friends, those he had always helped, had stabbed him in the back. A young, innocent man, left crippled with his dantian destroyed, the victim of envy from a royal prince and the betrayal of his three closest friends—this betrayal filled Zhao Yun with a profound sense of disbelief and an unquenchable thirst for vengeance.

Unbeknownst to him, this savior would present Zhao Yun with a choice that would shape his future. Will Zhao Yun redefine his purpose in life?

The world ended in seven minutes. At exactly 3:17 AM, every graveyard on Earth split open. Cities drowned in ash. The skies turned crimson. And billions heard the same voice echo inside their heads: > [The Cataclysm Trial has begun.] [Survive. Evolve. Conquer.] Among the chaos, Vaeloric Thane dies almost instantly betrayed by the very people he tried to save. But death refuses to claim him. Instead, he awakens beneath a mountain of corpses inside a forgotten underground crypt, where a forbidden class chooses him: > Hidden Class Unlocked — Ashborn Necromancer Current Rank: Funeral Tier Unlike ordinary Necromancers who command mindless undead, Vaeloric can harvest memories, abilities, and fragments of souls from the dead themselves.

And hidden within Vaeloric’s system lies the one power capable of commanding even them. Now hunted by both the living and the dead, Vaeloric must decide what he will become: Humanity’s last ruler… Or the final king of the grave.
