Casse-tête

Carter Van Alen was dumped in the rain for being poor. His best friend stole his designs. His rival stole his future. His ex married the man who ruined him. They thought he was finished. They were wrong. Carter wasn't broke. He was the sole heir to the empire that owned the city. He crashed their wedding. Bought the church. Owned the guests. And began erasing everyone who ever laughed at him. But Julian Pane had been waiting. He knew who Carter was before Carter made his move. And a man with nothing left to lose is the most dangerous thing in any room. The Council of Five had the city in a chokehold for forty years. They didn't survive Carter's patience. Now Kingston belongs to him. He doesn't forgive. He doesn't negotiate. He builds...and then he buries. And when the dust settles, only two people are left standing at the top. The King. And the woman who made him one.

A boxer who won the world's heavyweight championship died on his way to the Netherlands in a plane crash and reincarnated to a world that scientifically can't exist.

Life takes a drastic turn for Chase Andersons when he suddenly wakes up in a body that isn't his. Theo's body. The last thing he remembered was being hit on the head with a vase and slipping into the cold hands of death. He was supposed to be dead, but fate wasn't done with him.

Alina awoke in a luxurious room, the wedding gown still clinging to her body. Her head throbbed fiercely, her memories were hazy, and even more startling—a handsome man named Darren was looking at her with a mysterious smile. "Good morning, my wife." Alina panicked. She didn't remember this wedding. She didn't even know Darren. But when she tried to find answers, everyone—including her own mother—assured her that this marriage was real. But something was wrong. Strange dreams began to haunt her every night. Fragments of vague memories felt nonsensical. Whispering voices in her ears. And Darren… that man always watched her with an inscrutable gaze. Who was Darren really? Why did everyone seem to agree that she was indeed his wife? As Alina got closer to the truth, she discovered something more terrifying. Perhaps, it wasn't just Darren who was hiding secrets. Perhaps, she herself wasn't the real Alina.

At seven, my father returned with his mistress and my half-brother, who was only a few weeks older than me. Under my mother's grief-stricken and despairing eyes, my father ruthlessly kicked us out. I always knew that my father wanted a supernaturally awakened and talented heir, however, I didn't fit the bill because I couldn't awaken any special talents and didn't show outstanding academic abilities. Moreover, my uncles and aunts were eyeing my father's position, eager to overthrow him and take his place. Competitors also harbored ill intentions towards our family, watching my father like a hawk. In this treacherous situation, my father rekindled his relationship with his mistress, the second daughter of a noble family from the Royal City. Finally, my father no longer concealed his pre-marital affair. After making it public, he brought his mistress and her talented son back home to replace my mother and me. To survive, my mother had no choice but to take me into hiding, changing our identities and fleeing to a remote town to escape their grasp and settle down. What my father didn't know was that I didn't lack talent; my talent was simply too strong, requiring an immense amount of energy to awaken, energy that my weak seven-year-old self couldn't handle. Eleven years later, I had grown up and finally awakened my superlative talent, becoming a renowned genius in the remote town. I never thought about going back to confront my father or seeking revenge on his mistress because they weren't worth my mother's and my time! My mother and I are doing well now. I believe with my talent and effort, our lives will only get better. However, I overestimated the goodness in people, and underestimated their malice!

They dragged his dying mother out of her hospital bed like she was garbage. Joshua Hart had endured three years of humiliation as the powerless live-in son-in-law of the wealthy Cavesh family. He swallowed every insult. Every sneer. Every reminder that he was “nothing.” All for one reason—his mother’s life depended on their money. Then, on the day she needed emergency surgery, they cut him off. “Admit your mistake. Apologize,” his wife said coldly. “Maybe then I’ll consider helping.” At the hospital, nurses laughed in his face. “Swipe your card, beggar.” “You can’t even afford oxygen in here.” They called security. They called him worthless. They didn’t know that twenty minutes earlier, a forgotten investment had turned him into the majority shareholder of Galaxy Tech. They didn’t know his account now held billions. They didn’t know the “pathetic son-in-law” had just wired one hundred million dollars to the very hospital trying to throw his mother into the street. When the director whispered, “Joshua Hart… the transfer came from you?” He simply picked up his black card and looked at them one by one. “You were right about one thing,” he said calmly. “I won’t beg.” Now the people who mocked him will learn a brutal truth: Never humiliate a man who has nothing left to lose—especially when he becomes everything.

The world is a machine built on a lie. Ethan is the bug that will break it. In the vertical city of The Hollows, your rank determines your right to breathe. While the elite live in eternal sunlight, Ethan Cole survives on the "scraps" of the lightless slums, a low-level clerk who just wants to stay invisible. Then the sky cracks. As the "System" initializes, the world turns into a lethal game. While everyone around him is granted the power of heroes and gods, Ethan is branded with a glitch: [Class: ERROR - CIVILIAN]. He’s supposed to be the first to die. But Ethan sees what the "Heroes" can't. He doesn't see monsters; he sees flickering code. He doesn't see magic; he sees unoptimized hitboxes. To the world, he is a nobody. To the System, he is a virus with Administrator access. Now, Ethan must climb the layers of the city he once feared, "deleting" the digital gods that treat humanity like fuel. He isn't here to play the game. He’s here to rewrite the rules. He’s not a hero. He’s the patch the world didn't see coming

Other people don't know about me, and I don't even know who I am. Before, everything was so unfair, and I only got miserable things. When my father showed up, he told me everything. I was a rich man! Even very rich!

Ryder Anderson was a brilliant intern framed for a billionaire's death. But a near-fatal accident didn't kill him; it activated Project Levi, a dormant neurological experiment buried in his DNA. Now, Ryder doesn't just see patients; he sees the "code" of the human body. He sees the microscopic fractures in bones, the chemical markers of poison, and the hidden data streams of the corrupt Vesper Group. Working from a "Shadow Clinic" in the city's underbelly, Ryder must use his Absolute Diagnosis Eye to heal the unhealable and dismantle the system that turned him into a lab rat. But as his powers evolve, he realizes he isn't just a doctor anymore—he is the first step in a forced evolution that could either save humanity or delete it.
