Crush-to-love

Menphis Jackman was a meager wage worker, humbly enduring and compromising for mere money, renowned for his uselessness. He was both penniless and heavily indebted, only to be oppressed and looked down upon by others. But then one day, a large skull appeared in the town, with zombies everywhere, danger and death ominously surrounding him, and suddenly the harsh sound of machinery echoed in Menphis’s mind. It was no different from the RPG system he had once known. It gave him strength, abilities, and resources, a lot of resources, very, very many resources. To the point where he had to think: ‘How to destroy my resources?’

Ben Akoni, a struggling writer nicknamed "Shrimp Boy" for his dead-end job at a Miami seafood shack, lives under the thumb of humiliation.

Just when his world seems hopelessly bleak, a mysterious Tycoon System grants him a peculiar power: turning virtual slaps in a mobile game into real-life rewards.

In a world where everyone can awaken magic, Zarek Vonn has nothing. Bullied, powerless, and called worthless at Arcvale Academy, Zarek reaches his breaking point—until a near-death experience awakens a secret buried deep within him: the power to control all five elements—Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, and Thunder. Forced to hide his abilities, Zarek's quiet life shatters when thugs attack his family over a massive debt. In saving them, he exposes his powers and is blackmailed by the sinister scientist Dr. Malrik, whose twisted research threatens to freeze the world in an artificial ice age. With help from a rogue swordsman and a cold wind-sorceress, Zarek must rise—before the Thalassa falls.

BLURB They killed him for being weak and not to expose them Big mistake. Ethan Hardy was the invisible man, the loyal employee, the devoted husband, the guy everyone walked over. When he caught his wife in bed with his boss, they didn't just betray him. They murdered him. Strangled him. Dumped his body in the ocean. But the ancient seal embedded in his chest had other plans. Now he's back from the dead with powers that shatter concrete and bend reality. The forgotten heir to a hidden empire of awakened warriors. The inheritor of a sentient artifact that whispers secrets of unimaginable strength. Revenge is just the beginning. His enemies wanted him gone. Now they'll beg him for mercy. He won't give it.

Betrayed and framed for a crime he didn't commit. Drakon Thorne, the true heir of the Thorne family is no longer honored but condemned by the society, treated with disdain and stripped of his rightful position. The only person who remained by his side was his devoted wife, Morgana Astoria. Born into wealth and power, she could have turned her back on him yet she chose to stay. To Drakon, she was his only light in his dark world. But to her family, he was nothing but a stain on their name, an unworthy husband who had long since fallen beneath their standards. He believed at least she loved him. He believed she was different. Not on that fateful day that he caught her in bed with his own cousin. Heartbroken and shattered, Drakon in tears left the house in silence that night only to be ambushed by thugs. Beaten to the brink of death, it seemed the world had finally ended for him. But when death was only a step away, something inside him woke up. [Bloodline fixing…] [Ding! Thorne Legacy System activated] [You have awakened a long-lost legacy of your family. One forgotten through the ages, tainted by generations of impure blood.] His fate had changed, the worthless man had become so terrifying that the name DRAKON THORNE sent fear down the hearts of those who once looked down on him.

Everyone at Lumeris Academy called Eren Varrow the “Triple D Failure.” Weak in martial arts. Useless in medicine. Hopeless in magic. Even the girl he loved betrayed him and left him for dead. But when his cracked pendant awakens a first of it's kind power—the legendary Soul Path—Eren discovers he’s not just another failure. He’s the only one who can master all paths: martial, healing, elemental magic, and the soul itself. . From bullied outcast to unstoppable warrior, Eren rises to challenge clans, academies, monsters, and even the Rift King himself. The world that once mocked him will soon remember his name. Because failures don’t stay failures forever. Sometimes, they become legends.

His mother abandoned him because he was a burden. His girlfriend dumped them because he was worthless. The entire world laughed, pointing their fingers at him. "A failure!" "Simp!" "He should just die!" "His life is worthless!" There is nothing left for him in this world. No friends. No fortunes. No future. But then... "Host detected. Chosen heir system activating..." He becomes the chosen one, the power of life, death and riches all in his command. Those who laughed shall weep for mercy. The ones who pointed their fingers shall beg to have it cut off. The entire world will pay as Adrian Blood seeks his revenge!

In my former life, I was a female healer, unaware of the true extent of my powers. My abilities caught the attention of an S-rank guild, and I was recruited with promises of prestige and respect. But instead of the honour I was promised, I was met with betrayal and cruelty. They saw me not as a person but as a tool to be used and discarded. I endured unspeakable suffering—raped,abused, exploited, and left to die when they no longer had use for me. But fate granted me a second chance. [Ding!] For enduring so much suffering until death, you have awakened the Pleasure system. You will be reincarnated into a new body. Would you desire any changes? I was reincarnated as a boy, this time gifted with the power to manipulate time and a pleasure system. As my abilities awakened, so too did the memories of my past life. The pain, the humiliation, and the injustice—it all came flooding back. This time, I vowed, and things would be different. I would not be a victim again. I would rise above the cruelty of my past and claim the power and respect I was denied. Yet, revenge is not my sole purpose. I will become the strongest, the richest, and the most influential figure in this world. I will amass power not just for vengeance but to ensure that no one can ever take advantage of me. As I ascend to the pinnacle of strength and wealth, I will claim what was once denied to me: control, respect, money, and the loyalty of those who once sought to destroy me.

Ethan Cole has lived eighteen years as the unwanted adoptive son of the wealthy Blake family, relegated to a storage closet and treated as live-in help. After discovering his girlfriend Sarah is cheating with his adoptive brother Dylan, he's violently thrown out with nothing but garbage bags of belongings. That same night, $100 million appears in his bank account, and Victoria Ramsey—CEO of Meridian Corporation—arrives to tell him the impossible: he's the lost heir to one of America's most powerful families, and she now works for him. As Ethan navigates sudden wealth, elite society, and a web of secrets about his past, he must decide who he can trust and whether revenge or redemption will define his future.

Three years ago, Ethan Ward was the man everyone admired. He was smart, loyal, and in love. But when the woman he trusted most betrayed him, he was framed for a crime he didn’t commit and sent to prison. In prison, Ethan met Victor Vale, the legendary mastermind who once controlled Eastbridge City’s hidden world. Under Vale’s guidance, Ethan learned more than how to survive. He learned about power, patience, and control. Before he died, Vale gave Ethan a ring— the symbol of the Phoenix Circle— and a warning: “When the fire dies, light it again.” Now, Ethan is free. The world thinks he’s broken and forgotten. But the man who left prison is not the same. He’s smarter, colder, and ready to take back everything that was stolen from him. The city that betrayed him will soon remember his name. The woman who destroyed him will plead for mercy. And the empire that buried him will burn when he returns. Because when the Phoenix rises, nothing survives the flames.
