Death... And Me

Three months to live. Zero mana. One desperate lie. **That's how I became the most wanted man in Neo-Tokyo.** I told an assassin my body was "overflowing with Yang Energy." She blushed instead of shooting. I told an S-Rank Hunter her sword technique was "stiff because she's sexually repressed." She destroyed a mountain and swore eternal loyalty. I told a Succubus Queen I was "too powerful to be charmed." She became my maid. Now the is forcing me to maintain this ridiculous persona: **EXTERNAL:** "Kneel. You're not worthy of my touch." **INTERNAL:** *Oh god, if she squeezes my hand she'll break my wrist.* Every woman who desires me generates Desire Points. Lose their faith? I die. The Detective thinks I'm a criminal mastermind. The Heiress thinks I'm a caged god. My Disciple thinks my trembling is "restrained divine power." **They're all wrong. I'm just a dying scammer who weaponized charisma.** But here's the twist: The more they believe the lie... the more real it becomes. **[Warning: Contains Comedy, Face-Slapping, Steamy Mana Transfer, and a Protagonist Who Refuses to Break Character Even When Terrified]**

I was a billionaire. I was ruthless. But I died totally alone in a crushed sports car. When I opened my eyes, I was 22, sitting in my crappy college apartment, completely broke. But I wasn't alone. A glowing blue screen was floating right in front of my face. [Mythic Tycoon System Bound.] [Current Wealth: $12.00] [Warning: The corporate world is a literal jungle. Good luck.] Fate gave me a second chance to build my empire, but the System came with a hilarious catch: I have to be a "Good Boss." If I exploit my workers, my Karma Debt rises and I go bankrupt. Even crazier? I quickly discovered the modern corporate elite are secretly supernatural monsters hiding in plain sight. So, to beat them, I decided to hire my own. My new bodyguard? A 500-year-old vampire who works for minimum wage just so I'll do his taxes. My lead data analyst? A literal dragon hoarding Bitcoin in the basement server room. They have the magic. I have the brains, the System, and ten years of future knowledge. Watch me slap the faces of arrogant rich kids, hostile-takeover werewolf packs, and build the most powerful, chaotic monopoly the world has ever seen.

Everyone in Eclipse City dreams of awakening an ability. I spent twenty-five years being one of the powerless. Then a monster attacked during one of my deliveries, and a strange voice appeared inside my head. [SYSTEM ACTIVATED.] For the first time in my life, I had power. But there was a problem. The system hated me. Every mission became more dangerous. Every reward came with a hidden price. When I refused to obey, it punished me. Then I discovered the truth. I wasn't the system's chosen host. I was its biggest threat. Previous hosts had all died after reaching Level 50. The system had made sure of it. Now I'm approaching Level 50, and the system is becoming desperate. It wants me to open something called the First Gate. It doesn't want me to know what's behind it. And the more I uncover, the more I realize that my entire life may have been part of the system's plan. But the system made one mistake. It gave its prisoner enough power to become its enemy. Now I'm going to break every rule it gave me... even if the truth behind the First Gate destroys the world I know.

After losing his parents, Kent devoted his life to protecting the only family he had left his beloved younger sister. Until one night, everything was taken away from him. Marked by an unknown entity, Kent gained the power to fight the Dreadborn creature threatening humanity. But why should he protect a world that destroyed his? “If they made me suffer… then maybe I have the right to become the villain.”

Would you believe it if your best friend told you that he has been living in the world for four hundred years? What is the reason for this - a wonderful gift, which he acquired at a terrible price and continues to pay for it to this day? That he was familiar with Catherine de Medici, Stefan Batory, Nostradamus? That's what I didn't believe at first. But he told me such details that I could not help thinking: what if this is true?

What if I told you that they were right? That Bigfoot, The Abominable Snowman, The Loch Ness monster and yes, even The Boogey man were actually real? What if I told you your parents were right when they told you that there are monsters and demons that lurked in the shadows at night? I have seen those monsters, through visions of prophecy and none have baffled me more than The Marauder and The Supremes. Beings even Science could not explain, creatures that held godlike power for so long and walked among us as both oppressors and at times, as saviors. This is one such prophecy I had that I had to put on paper. Call it a story if you wish (it would actually make me feel less crazy). But this is the story of Brendan Payne; the sixteen year old high school boy who went from a regular teenager to finding out that he was not human but instead was born into a race of beings that were believed to be the final and perfect stage of evolution. And by finding out his destiny, Brendan is torn between fighting for the humans who resented him and joining forces with the callous yet beautiful witch, Finch, who claims to have his best interests at heart. This...is The Legend Of Marauder
