Brave

Twelve years ago, Devon Hayes lost everything because of three things: A hit-and-run. A lie. And a father who handed him over to the police to protect his own son. Now, after more than a decade behind bars, Devon walks free; older, harder, and carrying the kind of silence only prison can carve into a man. All he wants is to disappear into the quiet rhythm of a mechanic’s shop on the edge of Ridgefield, the town that destroyed his life. But fate has other plans. When his friend from prison suddenly got him a better paying job at a vineyard, he met a man who picked an interest in him because he looked like his late son. And to butter him up for the wrong hand he was dealt in the past, he found out they were related. His late mother was the estranged daughter of the man. Now, he had a new name, and a new fate, and now, he could get his revenge.

He died 49 times to earn one free life. Now the man who cannot be killed is coming for the gods who played with his soul. Six hidden labs. Six immortal brothers still in chains. One war that will leave continents scarred and kings in ashes. There are no more respawns. Only revenge.

The screaming of the wolves was the only warning Jack Cole received before his own flesh and blood pushed him into the abyss of the Whispering Woods. Betrayed by Jesse Grey, the adoptive brother he had bled for across a hundred battlefields, Jack was stripped of his titles and left to be torn apart by the forbidden continent's most lethal predators.

Jesse has taken Jack's legacy, his home, and his peace, but he cannot stop the tide of claws and fangs coming for his throat. As the line between man and monster blurs, the kingdom will soon realize that the true nightmare did not come from the forest, it was the man they threw into it.

The city has 1,000 landlords on the list. Aaron starts with a wrench and an eviction notice. He plans to own it all.

Nathan Cole gave everything to his marriage. He turned down promotions. He emptied his savings. He woke up every morning and chose his family even when his family stopped choosing him back. For six years he told himself that love was a decision, not a feeling, and he kept making it long after Vivienne had quietly stopped. Then came the diagnosis. Progressive Myelin Decay Syndrome. Rare. Degenerative. Expensive to treat. And the optimal window for treatment had almost completely passed, because every time Nathan had tried to get Lily seen, Vivienne had told him he was overreacting. Lily was seven years old. She wanted one thing for her birthday. Not gifts. Not a party. Just her mother standing in the same room long enough to watch her blow out the candles. It should have been effortless. Instead Nathan watched his wife choose a man's son over her own daughter. Watched her dismiss a dying child's collapse as manipulation. Watched her drive away and leave them on the side of a road while Lily fought to breathe in his arms. He buried his daughter alone on a quiet morning while Vivienne celebrated someone else's birthday at home. ~.~ When a mother chooses the wrong child to save. And a father is left with nothing but a drawing and a promise he made while running. How do you rebuild a life from the wreckage of everything you gave away?

In a world where martial strength determines worth, Lin Feng was the trash everyone spat on. But when they threw him into the Abyssal Chasm, they didn't know they were awakening the ancient power in his blood.

"That's a check for one million dollars. Take it and leave. Go reunite with your mistress and live your lavish lie." Caroline's voice cracked as she slammed the check against August's chest, her eyes red-rimmed and burning. For three years, she had played the loyal wife to a crippled man. Three years of silence. Three years of him vanishing each month without explanation. Three years of missing money and whispered rumors she'd desperately tried to ignore. She loved him once. But even love has limits. August watched his devastated wife walk away, her footsteps echoing like a death sentence. The truth sat on his tongue—boiling, desperate to be free. But he swallowed it. Not yet. For her safety, she had to remain in the dark. Three years ago, he emerged from a brutal war victorious but broken—ambushed when his strength was at its lowest, his legs shattered, his body labeled useless. They wrote him off. They laughed at the wheelchair-bound shell of a once-great warrior. But August never accepted that fate. As the door slammed behind Caroline, something inside him cracked—not broke, cracked open. His Qi, long dormant, surged like a tidal wave. And for the first time in three years… August stood. The wheelchair sat empty. Now, the man they abandoned is rising. His enemies will kneel. And his wife? He will protect her from the very family scheming to strip her of everything—even if she hates him for the secrets he kept. Let them come. August is done sitting down.
