Brutal

To protect his wife's family, Eddard took the fall for a hit-and-run, spending three brutal years in Hell Prison. But the moment he steps into the sunlight, his wife, Arya, dumps him to protect her company's upcoming IPO. Her toxic family calls him a worthless cockroach, kicks him to the curb, and violently tries to steal his late parents' villa. They mock him for having nothing, eager to replace him with a wealthy billionaire heir. But they have no idea who they just discarded. While in prison, Eddard wasn't just rotting—he was inheriting. He is now Zeus, the absolute supreme leader of the Apex of the Stars, commanding global wealth and power spanning six continents. He is also the legendary Medical Saint, possessing mystical healing arts that the world's most powerful tycoons will beg for on their knees. As the city's true elite line up to bow at Eddard’s feet, his ex-wife’s family is still pathetically bragging about their minor corporate status. When his true identity is unleashed, Arya and her treacherous family will learn the devastating cost of betrayal. They will beg for his mercy—but the Apex does not forgive.

In a realm where gods play dice with mortal souls, a cursed boy refuses his fate. Born with a tempered body blessed by the heavens, Kirin Arcanus should’ve been a legend. Instead, he became an outcast, cursed, shunned, and exiled from the very clan that should’ve raised him as their heir. The demon that killed his parents didn’t vanish... it slumbered inside him, waiting. Powerless. Mocked. Weak. Kirin claws his way through life with nothing but grit, will, and the whisper of an ancient, forbidden path to strength. When he’s finally granted a second chance at cultivation, it comes at a brutal cost, awakening something dark, something hungry. Inside the hallowed walls of the Academy, friends become enemies. Trust is currency. And betrayal? That’s the tuition fee. His closest companion, Seth, hides a twisted purpose. His allies? Torn between love, legacy, and lies. As realms collide, bloodlines unravel, and demonic whispers grow louder, Kayden must choose, become the hero they never saw coming… or embrace the chaos he was born to unleash. He didn’t ask to be a weapon. But he sure as hell is going to use it.

When the Veil shattered, the world did not end in fire—it ended in monsters. Demons poured from the skies, and ancient Gods dropped their fractured Divine Seeds to the earth, seeking mortal vessels. Ronan was a dead man walking, his chest crushed in a demon ambush. But as his blood soaked the earth, the Seed of Primordial Eros chose him. It offered him the power to rip demons apart with his bare hands, but the toll was absolute: his godhood is fueled by passion, and his domain is the bed. To harness his devastating power, Ronan must forge "Soul-Covenants"—deep physical, emotional, and spiritual bonds with women of latent magical bloodlines. They become his Divine Chalices; the deeper their intimacy, the more invincible he becomes. But Ronan is not the only vessel. In the ruined capital of Aethelgard, Malakai—a ruthless tyrant who swallowed the Seed of the Grave—builds an empire of the undead, enslaving both humans and demons alike. This is no longer a tale of survival in a broken world. It is a war between ascending gods. Witness Ronan’s bloody ascent from a broken victim to an apex predator, and the founder of a brutal new civilization built upon passion, blood, and devastating betrayals.

They destroyed his kingdom. They slaughtered his people. They stole his throne. And then they left him to die. Li Kaien was once the Crown Prince of Yuehua Palace, the strongest force in the Godly Realm. But when the Chiyaan Empire launched a brutal invasion, everything he loved was ripped away overnight. They caged his parents, shattered his cultivation, and erased his bloodline from existence. His enemies celebrated while he lay broken at death’s door. In a final act of loyalty, the ancient wolf spirit bound to his soul sacrificed itself and sent him to a forgotten lower realm. Now powerless, hunted, and stripped of everything, Li Kaien discovers that the wolf spirit’s shattered fragments are scattered across the realms. Each fragment holds power that could shake the heavens — and whoever gathers them all becomes unstoppable. While his enemies believe he is dead, Li Kaien begins climbing from the bottom once again. This time, he won’t stop at reclaiming his throne. He will make the entire Godly Realm kneel. And when the empire that betrayed him finally sees him again… It will already be too late.

When a lonely, remote mining colony falls silent, he and the keen-eyed young scout Elaine see what their eyes couldn't believe, a creature filled with bodies, rooted standing where they fell; their bodies welded, flesh to flesh and bone to flesh, with a weeping, black iron that glows with a pale, alien light in their eyes.
