Entertainment Circle

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.

When an entire classroom is summoned to the Radiant Empire to become the world’s saviors, Evander expects a grand adventure. Instead, he is granted a seemingly useless, zero-mana support class: [Abyssal Coordinator]. Deemed a waste of resources by the corrupt royalty, Evander is stripped of his gear and thrown into the bottomless Abyssal Chasm to die. But the chasm is a gateway. Deep in the Underworld, a desperate and newly crowned Demon Queen, Vespera, is performing a forbidden ritual to summon a world-destroying Calamity Beast to save her collapsing realm. Instead of a monster, Evander crashes onto her altar. Due to a glitch in the magic circle and his unique class, a soul-link is forged between them. To survive the suspicious demon generals who expect an omnipotent tyrant, Evander must use his modern wits and unique system skills to act as the mastermind behind Vespera's throne. Meanwhile, using a remote avatar, he infiltrates the surface world to dismantle the "heroes" who betrayed him. He isn't just surviving; he’s playing both sides of an empire-spanning war.

Alex Chen mops TechNova’s office’s polished floors in the busy heart of New York City. He is just another nameless janitor to the busy workers who are hurrying by, someone to be laughed at or ignored. They are unaware that a man of extraordinary power and influence lies beneath this simple guise. Alex was raised to be a leader because he was the heir to the old Phoenix Clan. In any case, a severe fight for control constrained him in banishment, abandoning all that he knew, including Elena, the lady he cherished. In the mountains of Tibet, Alex studied under a reclusive healer for years, becoming an expert in both martial arts and medicine. In the shadows, he fabricated the Shadow Circle, a secret network so huge and compelling that even New York's most remarkable figures murmur its name in wonder. Alex has since returned to take back what is his. Elena is involved in a relationship with Nicholas Vega, the ruthless heir of the Scorpion Syndicate, as the rival Syndicate's hold on Chinatown has grown. Covering his real character, Alex carries on with an apparently typical life as a janitor while plotting his vengeance.

Maximus Crownguard hails from an unknown origin shrouded in mystery, known to be of humble beginnings as the son-in-law of a second-rate family. "Ma, where is Alexa?" he asked as he walked into the living room. The woman glared at Max and replied sharply, "Where else do you think my daughter would go other than work?" ------ Feeling a strange sense of foreboding, he nervously opened the message, but all it said was, "[Help]." He looked at his mother-in-law and coldly said, "Ma, where is Alexa?" as he exuded a deadly aura. The old woman didn't know why she felt a sense of danger when she saw the cold look in Maximus' eyes, so she blurted out without realizing, "She's at Chable Star Entertainment, she signed a contract with Mr. Chen." ------ "Who are you?!" Mr. Chen screamed in fear. The man turned and walked slowly towards Mr. Chen, saying, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is I will end your evil deeds." Mr. Chen's eyes widened as he saw the man's cold face and felt as if he was facing the God of Death. Suddenly, he felt excruciating pain in his right hand, realizing the man had crushed it. ------ "No problem, Mr. Crownguard. But which company are you planning to acquire?" the man inquired again. With a joyous smile, Max replied smoothly, "I want to acquire Chable Star Entertainment."

To the eyes of the elite, he is nothing more than a poor, nameless veteran — especially in the eyes of his arranged fiancée, Amanda Kalton, the proud and beautiful CEO of Rose Corporation.

He leaned forward, staring hard to make sure he wasn’t seeing things. Total Value: Forty billion dollars. He clicked Convert to USD. A small spinning circle appeared on the screen. Then all of sudden, it showed up a notification on the screen. Transaction Successful.  His screen refreshed, and the number appeared in green: Available Balance: $40,000,000,000.00 Ryan let out a cold loud breath.

Forty billion dollars for someone who had never even held five thousand dollars in his account before. He laughed before he could control himself. A broken, breathy laugh. He was still sitting on a cracked chair, in a small room, with nothing but a broken, crappy laptop, and yet, in at that moment, he was one of the richest people on earth.

Adrian Vale has spent most of his life learning how to be invisible. As a scholarship student surrounded by wealth, he endures quiet humiliation, borrowed dignity, and the unspoken rule that people like him are meant to stay small. He works harder, speaks less, and lowers his gaze not because he lacks pride, but because survival demands it. When his girlfriend betrays him for a richer man and his classmates turn his struggle into entertainment, Adrian reaches what should have been his breaking point. Instead, something impossible happens. A single transaction changes everything. Behind the life of scarcity Adrian has always known lies a truth carefully hidden from him: he is the heir to a powerful business empire. Wealth he never touched. Power he never asked for. A legacy withheld to protect him. But money does not erase humiliation. Even after the truth begins to surface, Adrian is still doubted, dismissed, and challenged by a world that refuses to believe someone like him could belong at the top. Rather than announcing his rise, he chooses silence. Rather than chasing revenge, he lets systems, institutions, and authority expose the people who underestimated him. As Adrian steps from campus life into the ruthless world of business, he must learn that power attracts enemies far more dangerous than bullies, and that restraint can be more devastating than rage. While some who once mocked him seek forgiveness, others double down, determined to pull him back into the place they believe he belongs.
