Fantôme

Introvert!? Me!? The hell am I an introvert? I stay indoors all day because I am afraid of getting my butt kicked. Until I contract my beast, I won’t be walking freely. This is a promise I made to myself. My name is Ryder, and I am black-marked. The planet where I live is dominated by summoners. If you guessed it, then you are right—we contract beasts from the Astral Shadow Plain and summon them at will after successfully forming a contract. A mark appears on the left shoulder of every human after a period of maturity, a mark given by the beast that chooses you. There are five different types of marks—the brown, the orange, the red, the black, and lastly, the white. Of all the markings, I was marked black. I was chosen by a supreme demon monarch of the Astral Shadow Plain—the Dracogon. There was only a 0.5 percent chance for me to survive the contraction process. However, with a slight twist in the original outcome, contracting a creature from the black-marked plain was nothing compared to the catastrophe I caused shortly after—I opened a link between the beasts of the Astral Shadow Plain and the planet of humans, Terra. Everyone on my planet has been endangered because of me. The fact that no one knows when the link will trigger and cause a breach that pours mindless creatures into my world makes it all the more unsettling. Now, with no other choice, I have to find a way to resolve the mistake I made—alone, just like I caused it.

I have worked hard for my wife and her family. I ignored the bad treatment from my in-laws. For me, my wife's happiness came first. However, she betrayed me. She had an affair with my boss! That was the reason why I was often assigned out of town. Apparently, her family found out about the affair, and even encouraged them to be together. My wife asked for a divorce, and I was unceremoniously kicked out. However, a miracle happened. A new life as a tycoon was about to begin!

A young adult from the twenty-first century passes out in his room from tiredness. He never considered that it was his last moment. Thankfully, just before he passed away, he grinned at how miserable he was and muttered to himself, "If the god of passion were watching me, please fulfill my wish." His wish was granted by the goddess of passion, who was pleased by how filthy and miserable he was upon hearing it. Sadly, he was reincarnated in a world that was different from what he had anticipated. Note: If the view count reach 100 plus, I'll mass release 5 chapters.

“How could you Jack, how could you bring such disgrace to me and my family?” Jack’s wife berated him after setting him up with drugs. “Move it, you asshole!” The corrupt cops bundled Jack into their van and took him away. For days, Jack was beaten and tortured for something he did not do, until he was finally tricked into signing his divorce papers. His in-laws rejoiced greatly. They had sent their live-in son-in-law to prison, an ordinary Jack Bolton, but when he came out and reunited with his estranged family, he became their nemesis, THE UNSTOPPABLE JACK BOLTON.

"Maybe you should go earn some real money, Eddie. After all, that's how the world operates.” Eddie stared at Eunice, his face a mix of pain and betrayal. "You’ve betrayed me, Eunice. All for what?

The day the Cosmic Reset happened, the world I knew ended. The sky cracked open, monsters descended upon the cities, and millions died before they even understood what was happening. I was nothing more than an ordinary scooter rider trying to survive when death finally caught up with me. Then the system appeared. [Ding! God-Tier Architect System activated.] While everyone else received combat classes, weapons, or abilities, I received something completely different. I could build. Walls. Weapons. Farms. Turrets. Factories. Fortresses. And, eventually, an entire city. But there was a catch. The stronger my territory became, the more people wanted to take it from me. Betrayed by survivors who saw my ability as a treasure, hunted by powerful factions, and surrounded by monsters that grow stronger every day, I have only one choice. Build faster. Fight harder. Protect everything that belongs to me. What starts as a tiny safe zone soon becomes the strongest territory in the apocalypse. Every battle gives me resources. Every enemy I defeat makes my territory stronger. Every upgrade brings me one step closer to becoming an Overlord. But I am not building an empire just for power. Somewhere out there, my family is still alive. And I intend to find them. Even if I have to tear this ruined world apart to do it. They thought I was just another survivor. They were wrong. I am the Architect of the apocalypse, and my safe zone is invincible.

They burned my mother's name into the dirt and sold my sister to silence. Ten years ago I was a boy who could not stop them. Tonight I walk back into Ironport as a stranger, and nobody in this city knows that the empire whispered about in war rooms and black markets across three continents answers to me. I came back for two things. My sister, locked behind a fence and told for six years that she is broken. And the truth about the night my mother died, a truth this city buried so deep it forgot to check whether her son would ever come digging. They think the past is buried. They are about to learn that I dug it up, and I brought fire. But some of the people I trust most are not who I think they are, and the closer I get to the truth, the more I realize the enemy I came home to destroy might already be sitting at my own table, wearing a familiar face. Every step forward costs me someone I love, and every answer I find only opens a door onto a darker one. And somewhere in the middle of a war I never meant to survive with my heart intact, a woman on the wrong side of this fight is starting to make me forget why I came back cold. I built ten years of armor around myself for exactly this city. I never planned on anyone finding a way through it. They think I am a stranger. They are about to learn I am the storm they built with their own hands, and this time, I am not leaving until every debt is paid in full.

“Why, Leticia?” “Because you are a water boy and a lowly janitor. You can never give me what George can.” Those are the words that played over and over in Jake’s head, crushing his heart and soul. Ridiculed, trampled and scoffed upon, none as devastating as the betrayal of the woman he planned on spending the rest of his life with. With his head low and a thick skin, Jake’s rise from ashes is a spectacular sight that puts him on top of the food chain. What will he do when those who tormented him are now at his mercy?
