Faking It With Damien Black

For three years, Ethan Blackwell lived as the most humiliated son-in-law in the city. Married into the prestigious Hart Family through a contractual marriage, he was treated as nothing more than a servant. While his wife, Sophia Hart, ruled boardrooms as a celebrated CEO, Ethan cooked, cleaned, and endured endless ridicule from her family. On their third wedding anniversary, everything changed. Facing financial collapse, Sophia chose wealth over loyalty and divorced Ethan to marry billionaire executive Damien Sterling. Betrayed, humiliated, and cast aside, Ethan walked out of the Hart Family with nothing but a suitcase. Moments later, he inherited Blackwell Global Holdings-a financial empire worth over one hundred trillion dollars. Overnight, the useless son-in-law became the richest man alive. But wealth was only the beginning. As Ethan rises to the top of the business world, crushing enemies, humiliating those who once looked down on him, and building an empire of his own, he uncovers a terrifying secret hidden for fifteen years. His inheritance was never an accident. His parents were murdered. A mysterious organization known only as the Hunters has been hunting his bloodline for decades. At the center of everything lies the Phoenix Archive-a secret so valuable that powerful families are willing to start wars to possess it. Now Ethan must navigate a world of ruthless billionaires, hidden conspiracies, deadly assassins, and ancient family secrets. As former enemies beg for forgiveness and old allies reveal hidden agendas, Ethan discovers a frightening truth: The greatest threat isn't outside his empire. It's already inside it. In a battle of wealth, power, and survival, Ethan Blackwell will either become the ruler of a new era... Or the last Blackwell to ever exist.

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 three long years, Ethan Vance was the invisible, abused househusband of the arrogant Miller family. He drove a cheap delivery scooter, took their harsh slaps, and cleaned their toilets without a single word. Why? Because of a secret vow made to his grandfather. The Millers treated him worse than a stray dog, and on Chloe Miller's grand birthday party, they finally threw him away like trash. They forced him to sign a twenty million dollar debt waiver and even threatened to turn off his dying sister's hospital life support just so Chloe could marry a wealthy corporate prince. But tonight, the three-year vow is officially over.

Now, the Millers and their wealthy allies are begging in the dirt for a single drop of water. They wanted a war, but they have no idea that Ethan Vance now owns their very souls. How far will they crawl when they realize the beggar they trampled is the king of the world?

They dragged his dying mother out of her hospital bed like she was garbage. Joshua Hart had endured three years of humiliation as the powerless live-in son-in-law of the wealthy Cavesh family. He swallowed every insult. Every sneer. Every reminder that he was “nothing.” All for one reason—his mother’s life depended on their money. Then, on the day she needed emergency surgery, they cut him off. “Admit your mistake. Apologize,” his wife said coldly. “Maybe then I’ll consider helping.” At the hospital, nurses laughed in his face. “Swipe your card, beggar.” “You can’t even afford oxygen in here.” They called security. They called him worthless. They didn’t know that twenty minutes earlier, a forgotten investment had turned him into the majority shareholder of Galaxy Tech. They didn’t know his account now held billions. They didn’t know the “pathetic son-in-law” had just wired one hundred million dollars to the very hospital trying to throw his mother into the street. When the director whispered, “Joshua Hart… the transfer came from you?” He simply picked up his black card and looked at them one by one. “You were right about one thing,” he said calmly. “I won’t beg.” Now the people who mocked him will learn a brutal truth: Never humiliate a man who has nothing left to lose—especially when he becomes everything.
