Brett Hand Inside Job

At Standforth High, Kael Voss is always the one getting picked on. He’s poor, quiet, and has no friends. Every day, the rich kids bully him—punching him, mocking him, and treating him like trash. No one cares. Not the teachers. Not even his foster parents. Kael is just trying to survive. But one day, they go too far. After being beaten nearly to death behind the gym, Kael lies on the cold ground, thinking it’s the end. That’s when he hears a voice inside his head. [System Activated.] [Host: Kael Voss // Status: Dying] [Code Name: Forsaken.] From that moment, everything changes. This isn’t just a game-like system that gives him power. It’s something much deeper. It grows with him. Learns from him. And it wants him to rise. Kael starts to get stronger. Faster. Smarter. He can copy skills, heal faster, and even break the rules of reality around him. But with power comes danger. The system is changing him. And some people are starting to notice. Bullies who once laughed at him now fear him. Teachers who ignored him start to watch him. And Kael begins to remember things he shouldn't—dark secrets that connect him to something much bigger. Now Kael must choose: Use the system to take revenge… or become something even greater.

Elias Cross wanted nothing more than to disappear. Once the city’s most brilliant forensic architect, he vanished after a scandal that destroyed his career. But when an old friend turns up dead — and the body is staged inside one of Elias’s abandoned designs — he’s pulled back into a world he swore he’d left behind. Each crime scene is a building. Each building is a clue. Each clue points to an impossible blueprint for the city’s destruction. With only a reckless journalist and a washed-up detective by his side, Elias must outwit a ghostly mastermind known only as The Mason. But as the city becomes a maze of deadly puzzles, Elias discovers the final design isn’t about buildings. It’s about him.

What would you do to clear a debt you could never repay? Isaac Rhoades is at rock bottom. After taking a massive illegal loan to pay for his sister’s surgery—only for her to die anyway—he’s hunted by brutal loan sharks, fired from his warehouse job, and left homeless. Just as he's about to end it all, a strange voice echoes in his mind: “System Activation: Mission Credit Redemption Protocol Initiated.” The Debtbound System offers him a way out—but every cleared dollar requires a mission. Deliver cursed packages. Eliminate dangerous criminals. Expose corrupt politicians. Some missions save lives. Others destroy them. Every success earns him powers and a chunk off his debt. Every failure comes at a horrifying cost. As Isaac navigates this deadly path, he discovers he's not the only one bound by the system—and some users will do anything to break free. What started as a fight for survival becomes a war for redemption, power, and the truth behind the system’s origin. To win his freedom, Isaac must conquer the missions. But to keep his soul… he must conquer himself.

Description: The world almost ended—seven times. But thanks to the bureaucratic nightmare that is The Misfortune Bureau, global catastrophes get lost in paperwork, disaster forms, and office politics before they can wreak havoc. Meet Fredrick “Freddie” Jacobs, a painfully average, underpaid office clerk recently transferred to the Bureau. His job? Processing supernatural incident reports, misfiled curses, and "pending end-of-the-world" memos. But when a doomsday prophecy accidentally lands on his desk marked URGENT: LOST ITEM, Freddie and his misfit coworkers have 48 hours to prevent the apocalypse… while still following strict government procedure. Between sarcastic demons, malfunctioning photocopiers, time-traveling auditors, and office romances gone wrong, saving the world has never been more ridiculous.

The world looks ordinary cities, schools, streets filled with noise and neon but behind the veil lurks a truth few can see. Mystics walk among us, monsters stir in shadows, and ancient powers wait to be claimed. Mordaine Carrowell is a nobody. Overlooked, mocked, forgotten. Until a forgotten pendant in his parents’ abandoned home awakens the impossible inside him: the Aetherflame, a forbidden magic that fuses fire, wind, and spirit. Now hunted by Inquisitors and feared by mystics alike, Mordaine is thrust into a hidden war of relics, betrayal, and monsters. Guided by a scarred mentor and joined by a stubborn ally, he must master the fire that could save the world or burn it to ash. In a world of swords, sorcery, and secrets, even a forgotten boy can rise with mystic power.

In a magical world where heroes wield legendary swords and devastating spells, one boy awakens his destiny… with a half-burnt stick he dug out of a compost heap. Bullied, underestimated, and often mistaken for actual trash, Quincy Dungsworth never spoke a word—until a mysterious accident unlocks a bizarre power inside him. The source? A strange wooden staff marked with an ancient sun sigil, capable of channeling magic in ways no one understands (including him). Now, armed with questionable martial skills, unpredictable magic, and a face that screams “I’m not supposed to be here,” Quincy must rise from zero to hero—facing monsters, rival cultivators, and the occasional murderous chicken—while trying not to set himself on fire.

“Finally...I’m here.” Tyler murmurs as he stares up at the skyscraper. “I will pull this place down, every brick of it. No one among them will escape,” Tyler, the Emperor returned, whispers, his hand on the locket hidden under his shirt. After going through fire and enduring the bitterness of those who should have been family, Tyler, once taken away in disgrace, returns in dark glory to take revenge on those who have his parents’ blood on their hands. What happens when a sheep becomes a wolf? What happens when the rejected stone strikes back? A gripping tale of epic comeback, payback, and astronomical rise to the top.

Jace Barnes was a typical, unlucky youth; he had lost both his parents in a tragic accident and his younger sister died from overdose. Tired and depressed, he lived each day like a mindless robot. He couldn't continue with college so he dropped out, pulled some favors which found him a job at a local restaurant, but that also ended due to his lackluster performance. On the day he was fired, he was hit by a speeding truck and died instantly, his last emotion being relief at the thought of the torture of living alone and hopeless finally over....or so he thought. Opening his eyes again, he found out he had transmigrated into a new world, one vastly different from his old one; with tales of Elements users and Monsters, Lords and Queens, Kingdoms and Empires and Dungeons and The Nether-realm. For the first time in a long while, Jace felt something snap in him, he wanted it all, he wanted to become something, to conquer something, and the desire for greatness awoken something in him...the Oasis System. Will he conquer Demons and Monsters, dominate Empires, or will he get swallowed by the ever raging dominance of the new world?.

In the heart of Blackrift City, a decaying urban sprawl ruled by syndicates and shadow clans, Jace Ronan is just another forgotten soul. Once a street-fighting prodigy, now he's reduced to cleaning up the grime of a city that chewed him up and spit him out. No future. No hope. But when he throws himself in front of danger to save a child, death doesn't greet him. Instead, something ancient stirs inside him. Jace becomes the host of the Ragnar Protocol, an AI-like, sentient system with immense power. Thrust into a brutal world of system cultivation, hidden magic, and violent politics, Jace is forced to fight his way through real-life quests where every choice shapes him, and every step forward paints a target on his back. The stronger he gets, the more dangerous he becomes. Not just to others, but to the ones pulling the strings. Now Jace must decide. Play the game by the rules, or tear the entire system down.
