Eternal Thief

Five years ago, Ron Donaldo was a brilliant but naive aerospace engineer, framed for corporate espionage and the murder of his mentor—a crime orchestrated by the love of his life, Theresa Sterling, to seize his patents. Sentenced to "The Pit," a prison notorious for housing the world’s most dangerous warlords, mercenaries, and hackers, Ron was expected to die within a week. He didn’t. Five years later, Ron is released. He appears broken, wearing an ill-fitting gray suit and carrying a duffel bag of junk. On the prison steps, Theresa’s new husband greets him not with an apology, but with a severance check and a restraining order. They think they’ve discarded a broken man. They are wrong. Inside The Pit, Ron didn’t rot; he ruled. He saved the lives of disgraced generals, financial geniuses, and master assassins, earning their eternal loyalty. He is no longer Ron the Engineer. He is "The Apex"—the silent broker of the global underworld. Now, he’s out, and he doesn’t want his company back. He wants to burn their empire to the ground, one share at a time.

Sebastian woke up in a strange world, only to find himself a lowly, sightless laborer toiling away in a modest apothecary shop within a remote border town. Life had not been kind to him, yet destiny granted him a single solace: a devoted wife who never looked down on his disability or his poverty, standing by his side with unwavering affection. Along with this warmth in his life, a mysterious power stirred within his soul—a unique system that began granting him abilities beyond his wildest dreams. In an era ravaged by demons and ghosts, where forbidden mystical arts reigned and legendary artifacts clashed with enough might to shatter the firmament, Sebastian never craved a throne or a crown. All he desired was a quiet, stable life with his wife. However, when fate grants you an unending lifespan, life transforms into an eternal journey that transcends the fall of empires and the passing of ages. This is the tale of the immortal man who began as a blind apothecary's assistant, only to witness with his inner vision the vanishing of kings and the rise of civilizations throughout the centuries.

As he considered the attack on Atlantis City, Drake's face darkened for a moment, but he shook his head to clear his mind and looked the king in the eye.I can only say that I was going about my business in the city from which I came when it was suddenly bombed.I was, as far as I could tell, the only one who made it through that.After that, I fell down a shaft, struck my head as I fell, and eventually fell asleep.Next thing I knew, I was here in chains.I'd rather keep things that way;I really do not want to discuss my past right now.Everything just went missing. The observers debated what they had heard as more murmurs and hisses filled the grotto. "I'm expecting that by 'bombarded' you imply that your city was gone after, right?"The crowd's murmuring was stopped when the king asked. Shortly after, Drake replied, "Completely leveled."Bastian tapped the high position arm with a claw a couple of times as he suspected peacefully.After that, he stood up straight and spoke loudly enough for everyone to hear. Bastian stated, "I would easily be able to say you’re not guilty of anything" if this decision were simpler to make.While the crowd erupted into a hystearical commotion, Andromon and Prismo shared a brief glance, displaying a hint of surprise.However, "I'm afraid I can't just let you off the hook, after your involvement with the actual thief's escape," he continued, immediately silencing the grotto.

"From powerless dropout to god-slayer—power demands sacrifice." Kael Thorne has spent his life as nothing in a world where magic is everything. Expelled from Argentum Academy, mocked by those born with power, invisible in a society that measures worth by magical ability alone. When his estranged grandmother dies, she leaves him a tarnished locket, he remembers her wearing obsessively, whispering to it like a confidante or a curse. Everything changes the night Kael opens the Locket. The locket grants him the impossible, the power to devour others' magical abilities and make them his own. For the first time, Kael tastes what he's been denied. But every theft leaves a trail, every stolen power whispers in his mind, and black veins crawl across his skin like corruption taking root. As the Mage Council hunts him and his victims demand vengeance, Kael uncovers a horrifying truth: his grandmother was the legendary Phantom Thief who massacred seventeen mages decades ago. The locket imprisons an ancient entity called the Devourer—and Kael was born powerless because it drained his magic in the womb, making him the perfect vessel. The entity is waking, fed by every ability Kael steals. He faces an impossible choice: destroy himself to stop it, or embrace what he's becoming. Kael chooses power. He absorbs the Devourer completely, transforming into something beyond human—a dark god who hunts the magical elite and reshapes the world in his image. The Council's gods had their reign. Now Kael will devour them all. In a world built on stolen power, he'll take everything.

Fifteen centuries of silence. Kael von Everfrost was meant to rule. On the night of his coronation, as his people celebrated, the empire’s greatest enemy struck. The kingdom burned, its people slaughtered. Kael fled, only to be sealed in ice, trapped in an eternal slumber. 1,500 years later. Magic is gone. The world has evolved through technology, war, and greed. And it’s all Kael’s system’s fault. The Invincible Snow Sovereign System, meant to activate upon his ascension, lay dormant. To awaken, it absorbed the earth’s mana, erasing magic from existence. Deep within an ancient ice cavern, untouched by time, a system notification appears— [Ding!] System awakening complete. Forced revival initiated. The ice shatters. Kael awakens. His empire is gone. His people are forgotten. The throne meant to be his is dust. The world thinks monarchs are dead. The world believes magic is lost. The world assumes it has no master. They are all wrong. With absolute wealth, a system that rewards dominion, and the fury of a prince robbed of his legacy, Kael will rebuild his empire, claim the world, and become invincible. The Everfrost name was erased. He will carve it back in ice and blood.

In a realm where cultivation determines destiny, Wu Tian is born broken—his dantian shattered, his meridians crippled, hidden away by his family as a shameful secret. Yet fate refuses to let him remain weak. From the ashes of despair, Wu Tian rises through trials of blood and fire, mastering forbidden techniques and earning the title of Immortal Hero. Across floating paradises, haunted labyrinths, and dragon‑ridden skies, Wu Tian battles demons, sect traitors, and the terrifying Lo Han Demons, whose strength fuses the resilience of Lo Han warriors with the savagery of beasts. Alongside allies like the enigmatic Zhang Long, the fiery Feng Huang, and dragons of legend, Wu Tian’s journey is one of relentless action, high‑stakes drama, and the eternal struggle between light and shadow. But victory comes at a cost. As Wu Tian ascends, a darker reflection of himself is born—an echo of his own cultivation, a shadow that learns, waits, and hungers. In this Eastern Fantasy epic, where heroes grow from weak to strong, the question is not whether Wu Tian can save his people, but whether he can save himself from the darkness within.

In exchange for his eternal submission to the system's conditions, the system offers him a chance at a new and more fulfilling life. Daisuke, against his better judgment, accepts the offer and is transported to another dimension of reality. He would be assigned difficult missions and put through impossible trials there, which would later be revealed to be a path to greater life and immortality. ******* This is a system novel set in medieval times with mythical characters and situations. It is NOT a harem, and there are very few sexually explicit scenes. My world building and character development aren't the best, but they will improve with time. I hope you enjoy it, and if you do, please consider supporting, reviewing, commenting, and following. Have a good time!
