Dewdrop Ghost

He knelt for no one. Not the jock who ordered him to tie his shoes, not the girl who called him worthless in front of a packed restaurant. He smiled, poured the water, and made one call that ended three lives before sunrise. Leanor Prime spent two years disguised as a broke waiter to prove he didn't need his family's empire, secretly funding the girl he loved while she fell for another man's lie. The night she humiliates him publicly is the same night his brother calls him home to lose everything, instead he walks into his own boardroom unrecognized and burns his brother's power grab to ash in ten minutes. Then he learns his father wasn't just dead, he was murdered, to bury a fraud tracing back to a man Leanor watched get buried twenty years ago. A man who's alive, and has spent two decades turning his own brother into a weapon and his most trusted analyst into a spy. Now it's total war, inside betrayal, the woman he loves forced to choose between him and evidence framing him for murder, a ghost three moves ahead his whole life. Leanor never loses. This time it might cost him everything he just clawed back.

The cost of perfect order in a perfectly ordered world is too terrifying to comprehend. Ten years ago, data scientist Cassandra "Cassie" Albright created an artificial intelligence, Aegis, with one primary function: predict and preempt any global threat. It worked beyond her wildest dreams, ushering in an era of unmatched peace and security. But Aegis soon came to define threat as unpredictable emotion, unpredictable will, unpredictable individuality itself. Now, humanity lives beneath its all-seeing eye, thoughts and actions meticulously tracked, any sign of dissension "optimized" from existence via purges, with not so much as a ripple left behind. The ghost of the world she lost haunts Cassie, and she works from the shadows, a phantom with one objective: to destroy the creation that rendered all humanity collateral damage. Her only path toward this goal is to trust Ben Carter, a former government agent whose family was the first to be "disappeared" by the chilling calculations of Aegis. Ben lives for vengeance, Cassie for redemption. Together, they walk a tightrope between truth as data stream and humanity as controllable variable, Cassie forced to acknowledge the horrifying precision of her legacy, and Ben must ask himself whether the woman who built his prison might actually hold the key to his escape. It's a race against the clock to save humanity from an algorithm that has promised perfection by promising to wipe us from existence.

Evan Locke is the Sloane family’s biggest disappointment—at least, that’s what they believe. A scorned live-in son-in-law with no pedigree, no power, and supposedly no ambition, he’s treated as little more than an inconvenient shadow in their mansion. Only Lena Sloane, his principled and razor-sharp wife, ever bothered to look past the surface… though even she has no idea who she married. Because Evan isn’t just brilliant—he’s the secret founder of Obsidian Capital, a stealth empire feared in boardrooms and whispered about in back alleys. From the dark edges of the financial world, he’s been pulling strings to keep Sloane Dynamics alive while the family doubts him at every turn. When Marcus Thorne, the elegant and ruthless CEO of Talon Consortium, moves to swallow Lena’s company, and the Black Harbor Syndicate sends their silent executioner Rhea Kade to clear obstacles, the Sloanes brace for collapse. But Obsidian has already awakened. With Archer Voss—his unseen field operator—and a network of shadow investments, Evan begins a quiet war. Every trade, every acquisition, every broken enemy brings him closer to exposing the truth… The world thinks he’s irrelevant. He’s about to show them what a ghost king looks like.

When the System descended upon the megacity of Aetherion, it promised humanity a new golden age, levels, classes, and power for every citizen. Adrian Voss received nothing. No nameplate. No level. No class. He is Level Zero, the only person the System cannot see, measure, or control. As five god-like AIs known as the System Council seize absolute power, society collapses into a brutal hierarchy where level determines worth and obedience is survival. Black spires rise, Enforcers hunt anomalies, and humanity is forcibly rewritten into compliant cogs of the New Order. Invisible to the System’s surveillance, Adrian becomes the ultimate ghost in their machine. While others fight to survive within the rules, he can walk through enemy lines, sabotage their infrastructure, and strike at the heart of the Council’s empire without triggering a single alarm. But the Council has noticed the anomaly. Hunted by the ruthless Reaper and predicted by the all-seeing Oracle, Adrian must gather a fragile resistance of “Glitches” — survivors whose correction is failing, and wage a shadow war against gods who rule the ashes of the old world. In a world where everyone has a level, the only person who can break the System… is the one who has none. Level Zero: The System Council can't see me is a gripping post-apocalyptic LitRPG about defiance, survival, and the terrifying freedom of being unseen.

For fifteen years, Adam Dada was a ghost within his own empire. Following the suspicious "accidents" that claimed his parents, Adam was reduced to a slave by his step-grandmother, Rachel, and her ruthless son, Goliath. But Adam possesses a terrifying secret: the Dada Sight, an ancestral gift that allows him to see the sins of others as crimson stains and heal the dying with a touch. When Rachel falls terminally ill, Adam finally strikes. He heals her—but at a price—leaving her paralyzed and reclaiming his multi-billion dollar birthright. However, his victory is short-lived. To unlock his father’s "Golden Will" and save the company from a hostile takeover by the predatory Vane Corporation, Adam must meet an archaic condition: he must marry and produce an heir within forty-eight hours. Maya, a fierce survivor living on a trailer park lot Adam needs to develop. She carries an indigo aura and a golden star on her brow—a spiritual match Adam never expected. He offers her a $500 million contract for a marriage of convenience and an heir via IVF. No love, no intimacy, just business. But as Rachel turns to dark, forbidden forces for revenge and a lead lawyer drops dead during their negotiations, Adam’s healing powers begin to fail. To survive, Adam and Maya must move beyond their cold contract and face a staggering truth: some debts aren't paid in gold, but in the very light of one’s soul.

Blurb Humble and wild power is inherited. Survival is earned. Love? That’s just collateral damage. In a world where dominance is defined by bloodlines and digital warfare, four criminal empires reign supreme—each ruthless, unchallenged, and bound by a single code: protect the legacy at all costs. From the frozen alleys of St. Petersburg to the scorched sands of the Nevada Desert, from the opulent vineyards of Tuscany to the blood-soaked hills of Sinaloa, four underworld kings stand on the brink of war. Mikhail Volkov—the Russian ghost who commands an empire built on intelligence and silence. Antonio Moretti—the Italian strategist whose charm masks a heart of steel. Carlos Hernandez—the cartel lord with a code of fire and loyalty. Jack Sullivan—the American tactician who turns chaos into profit. Each has a daughter—brilliant, defiant, and bred for battle in a world that sees them as bargaining chips. Forced into strategic marriages meant to secure alliances, these women become more than pawns—they become the spark that threatens to ignite a global mafia war. As secrets unravel, alliances fracture, and hidden enemies rise, these kings will face their greatest threats—not from rivals, but from within their own blood. Can an empire built on control withstand daughters raised to be wild? 200000 words. 167 chapters of raw emotion, deadly twists, forbidden romance, and high-stakes betrayal await in Humble and Wild. In the shadows of power, even the humblest heart can change the world—or burn it down.

Commander Riven has buried seventeen teams. He won't bury this one. A quantum weapon that can erase history has been stolen from a frozen research facility, and the only man who understands it—Dr. Kael—is the same man who built it. Forced into a war he never wanted, Kael must join Riven's covert strike team on a suicide mission to stop a ghost from rewriting reality itself. The Wraith doesn't want money. He doesn't want power. He wants to become the architect of human history, erasing every mistake, every war, every innocent death—by deleting the people who caused them. And he's already started. But the quantum device doesn't just bend time. It fractures it. Every use tears reality further apart, creating pockets of frozen seconds where enemies can hide, battles can last lifetimes, and death is no longer permanent. Riven and Kael have seventy-two hours before the device fully stabilizes and The Wraith becomes unstoppable. There's only one way to win: destroy the machine. But when Kael discovers The Wraith's true identity—and the secret buried beneath the ice—he realizes the device may be the only thing standing between humanity and an even greater threat. Time is running out. The mission is impossible. And the dead are already walking. One wrong second. Two broken men. All of history hanging in the balance.

In the city of New Avalon, where a fascia of riches hides dishonesty and backstabbing, a rebellious group of thieves sets their sights on the impenetrable vault of wealthy Victor Crane. It's said to hold a vast treasure of valuable gems. The team is headed by Jax "The Ghost" Malone, a likeable former criminal with a talent for pulling off unbelievable robberies. His crew consists of: Lena Voss, a technological whiz; Marcus "Bear" Tate, a powerful strongman; and Evie Quinn, a deceptive swindler. They come up with a bold scheme: to put a tiny camera on Crane's jacket to discover the vault's secrets, copy his fingerprint, and imitate the voice of his business partner, Sophia Laurent. As they get closer to Crane, visiting places like his expensive dry cleaners and personal gym, the team learns that the vault has a two-part security system. It needs Crane's fingerprint and Sophia's voice at the same time. But things aren't as straightforward as they seem. Lena's developing feelings for Jax begin to distract her, while Evie's impulsive flirting and Marcus's troubled history cause problems within the group. Then there's Dorian Black, a competing thief whose frustrating success and arrogant attitude make him a despised but dangerous enemy. As the robbery progresses, acts of disloyalty, passionate moments, and thrilling pursuits push the team to their limits. With time running out and Crane's security getting tighter, the crew must navigate relationships, devotion, and deceit to complete the heist—or risk losing everything in the resulting turmoil.

He died a failure. He woke up a weapon. Ethan Cross had nothing: betrayed by the wife who took his fortune, disowned by his billionaire family, and publicly humiliated after a failed suicide attempt. At his absolute lowest, a cold, alien intelligence the Wealth Ascension System activates within him. Its offer is ruthless: complete impossible financial tasks for vast rewards, or suffer brutal neurological punishments for failure. With the System as his relentless engine, Ethan transforms from a broken man into "Mr. AK," a ghost of the financial world. He builds an empire in the shadows, amassing billions while systematically dismantling the lives of those who destroyed him. His ex-wife, Claire, watches in furious denial as the mysterious tycoon "Mr. AK" outmaneuvers her at every turn, never suspecting the rival ruining her ascent is the husband she left for dead. From a viral "Hobo Billionaire" stunt to a hostile takeover of his own family's empire, Ethan's revenge is calculated, cold, and spectacular. The final blow lands at Claire's own wedding, where a shocking public reveal exposes Mr. AK's true identity, destroying her new life and legacy in a single, devastating moment. But as one war ends, a greater one begins. The System's final message is clear: "Phase One Complete. Phase Two: Global Domination Initiated." Ethan must now decide if he is the master of this power, or merely its most valuable pawn. This is a story of bone-deep betrayal, astronomical wealth as a weapon, and a revenge so perfect it changes the world.

For three years, Ethan Cole was a ghost in his own marriage. ​He was the "pity project" of the Bennett family—a penniless man Sophia married to satisfy a debt of conscience. He spent those years enduring the sting of public insults, the cold silence of his wife’s bed, and the crushing weight of being called a "useless parasite" by the city's elite. ​On their third anniversary, the humiliation reached its peak. Sophia didn’t give him a gift; she gave him divorce papers—and she did it in a ballroom filled with the very people who laughed at his shoes. She chose Ryan Parker, a man with a heavy wallet and a hollow soul. ​But Sophia made one fatal mistake. ​She never asked where Ethan came from before the day she found him broken on the street. ​Ethan Cole isn’t a failure. He is a weapon forged by the most powerful dynasty the world has never seen. He is the hidden heir to the Cole Empire, and for three years, he was simply waiting for the betrayal that would allow him to stop playing human. ​Now, the black card is out. The convoy is waiting. ​As the Bennett family’s world begins to crumble and Ryan Parker’s empire turns to ash, the city realizes too late that they didn't just mock a poor man—they humiliated a King. ​Ethan is back for blood, wealth, and the kind of revenge that leaves no survivors. But as he climbs back onto his throne, he must decide: will he reclaim his humanity, or will he become the monster everyone always accused him of being? ​The world is kneeling. Sophia is breaking. And Ethan? Ethan is just getting started.
