Can't Fake The Feeling

Ten years ago, Alastor Vikir lost everything in a fire that consumed his family and his home. With nothing but ashes and unanswered questions, he disappeared from the world, training under a master of survival with one singular purpose: find the truth and make someone pay. Now he's back in London, but the city he returns to isn't the one he left behind. Enrolled in university under a false name, Alastor watches over Chloe Everstone—the girl whose family saved his life when he had nothing. But protecting her means navigating a world of wealth, privilege, and secrets he never asked to be part of. Including an arranged marriage to Seraphina Belmond, the sharp-tongued heiress who doesn't even know who he really is. As old memories resurface and new dangers emerge, Alastor realizes the fire that destroyed his life wasn't an accident. And the people responsible? They're still out there. Some truths are buried for a reason. Some fires never stop burning. And some debts can only be paid in blood.

Samuel Gray is no one special. Just another forgotten soul in the lower levels of Novus City a place where dreams are traded for survival and even hope comes with a price. Each day blurs into the next as he delivers packages to people who don’t see him, eats food that barely tastes like anything, and falls asleep wondering if this is all life has to offer. But everything changes the night he tries to help a stranger and bleeds out in an alley. On the edge of death, a voice echoes in the darkness. > “Vitality Critical. Initializing Ascension Protocol. Do you accept?” In that moment, Samuel awakens something unimaginable: a system interface that turns the laws of life into a game complete with stats, quests, abilities, and something far more dangerous purpose. Now marked by a power that shouldn’t exist, Samuel must navigate a world where reality bends, imagination has weight, and forgotten dreams can become weapons. But the Ascension System didn’t choose him at random. There’s a reason he was chosen. There’s a cost to rising. And someone or something is watching.

Ten years ago, Leo Wills was the heir to a dynasty—until the Sterling Group framed his father, seized his home, and left his family to rot in the gutters of Riverdale. He vanished into the shadows of the global frontline, forging himself into the King of War, a commander of the invisible Ghost Legion. Now, he’s back in his city, wearing a janitor’s blue coveralls and cleaning up the filth of the elite with tactical precision. He isn't just looking for an apology; he’s here to collect a debt that can only be paid in blood and billions. The Sterlings think they own the law, the land, and the air the poor breathe. They don't know that the "janitor" in their lobby has the world’s most lethal mercenaries on speed-dial and the power to freeze their empire with a single phone call. From high-society galas turned into tactical traps to the cold-blooded seizure of corporate skyscrapers, Leo is dismantling the hierarchy brick by brick. The Ghost Protocol has been activated: the house is being reclaimed, the "Silent Shareholder" has spoken, and the usurpers are about to learn that some ghosts don't stay buried—they come back to rule.

Alex Reed is the trash of the Jenkins family. For three years, he’s washed their clothes, cooked their meals, and taken their insults just to please his girlfriend, Sarah. But on their anniversary, Sarah doesn't give him a gift; she gives him a breakup note and climbs into a luxury car with his worst enemy. Left in the rain, Alex thinks his life is over until a mechanical voice rings in his head: "Divine Upgrade System activated. Your first reward: 100 Billion Dollars and the Global Martial Arts skill." Now, Alex is the richest and most powerful man on the planet, but there’s a catch. To fully unlock his inheritance, he can’t reveal his true identity for one year. While his ex-girlfriend and her new man try to crush him, Alex plays the long game. He marries the beautiful and cold CEO, Chloe Miller, in a contract marriage to help her save her business. Everyone thinks he’s a useless moocher living off a woman, but they don't know that the CEO they worship is actually working for him.

'I didn't kill him' I whispered my camera shaking in my hands while I looked at the blood on the marble floor. 'I know' the man in shadows whispered, his voice like velvet on rough ground. 'But the world believes that I did and you are the only one to attest to my innocence'. Elara Vance is a forensic photographer of the wealthy; a woman who sees the truth through a camera lens, and Silas Vane is the heir to a bankrupt empire who lives off the carrion of his enemies (known as the 'Vulture'), but when Elara catches him in the act of a murder she isn't supposed to witness he proposes a deal: either become his bride and his 'Glass Alibi' or she is the next body he will require her to photograph. In a world of predators can the man keeping her prisoner actually be her executioner...or her salvation.

“In a world ruled by monsters, the weak don’t die, they’re forgotten.” I was invisible unless they needed someone to humiliate. They broke my bones. The tyrants of Aegis killed my only friend. But that day, when my blood touched the floor, something inside me awakened. A voice. A system. A power that whispered: “Adapt. Survive. Ascend.” Now I’m not the prey anymore. I’m the beginning of something they can’t control. The government thinks they own the monsters. The hunters think they own the city. Worse, the bullies at Aegis Academy think they have all the power. Big fishes in little ponds.  They are wrong. I will rise to the top, I'll overturn the hierarchy, failures will become alphas. I’ll bring anarchy upon them because I can. Because the real monster… is learning to hunt back. Watch them learn what Apex truly means.

Spencer Ford was a ghost in his own life, overlooked, underestimated, forgotten. Until the day death reached for him… and missed. Surviving a fatal accident grants him a power that shouldn’t exist, the God of War Physique, an instinctive mastery of martial arts that experts spend decades to achieve. But fate isn’t done with him. A second brush with death awakens something even rarer, a divine healing gift capable of rewriting life and death itself. Now the world that once ignored him is desperate to claim him. Or kill him. Martial clans want to control him. Medical guilds want to dissect him. A shadowy organization wants his powers erased. From nobody to legend, Spencer must choose what he stands for, and who he becomes. In a world where everyone can awaken a power he became the one they were never prepared for.

The event: an unforeseen cataclysm which wiped out all of life leaving but a fraction… So they say, but I know the truth, even though I'm uncertain of how it really happened. I can't seem to remember much. Compared to when i first awoken, 50 years ago, even if it's a fraction I'd call it progress. Over 200 years has passed since the event and I'm trying to find the answer to how this place came to be. I know it's not going to be easy and you can guarantee I'm going to fall into some unwanted predicaments. My goal: return it to the time before even if it takes destroying this world.
