Fate's Hands

Cast out as a child, betrayed by blood, and erased from his father’s empire—Adrian DeLuca was never meant to return. To the mafia, he was just a bastard, a mistake, a ghost better left in exile. But ghosts have a way of coming back. Now a cold and calculating lawyer with nothing to lose, Adrian returns to the city that abandoned him. He doesn’t come with guns blazing—he comes with something deadlier: a mind sharpened by years in the shadows, an unshakable will for revenge, and the hunger to tear down the empire brick by brick. His half-brothers rule the DeLuca syndicate with arrogance and cruelty. His father sits on the throne of blood, untouchable. But Adrian knows their secrets, their weaknesses, their sins. He will turn allies into traitors, rivals into pawns, and enemies into stepping stones. Every courtroom victory, every hostile takeover, every life ruined brings him closer to his endgame. But power has a price. The deeper Adrian dives into the underworld, the more dangerous the game becomes. Enemies close in, the law hunts him, and even love becomes a weapon aimed at his heart. In a world ruled by loyalty and blood, Adrian must decide: Will he reclaim the throne as the true heir… or burn the entire empire to the ground and bury his family with it?

Betrayed by his own brother and left to rot in an S-Rank dungeon, E-Rank hunter Leo Thorne was meant to be a sacrificial lamb. But the abyss didn't kill him—it woke him up. Now tethered to the 'Primal Devourer System,' Leo returns from the dead with a hunger that can consume gods and a power that defies the laws of mana. To uncover the dark truth of his family’s legacy and survive a global bounty, he must devour his enemies and rise as the ultimate Sovereign. Will he save the world that abandoned him, or will he consume it to build a new one?

For a thousand years, the cultivation world has been under the dominance of women, a consequence of a heavenly curse that stripped all men of their ability to cultivate. Men live as second-class citizens, while female sects, matriarchal kingdoms, and Saintesses hold full control over the world's destiny. Amidst this deep-rooted order, an ordinary man named Li Feng unexpectedly awakens the Ancient Yang Core, long lost to history. The awakening of this primordial core not only restores his ability to cultivate but also makes him the only man in the entire realm capable of doing so—an anomaly that shakes the very foundations of the world. Li Feng's unique existence soon draws unavoidable attention when it is discovered that female cultivators who train with him experience a drastic surge in energy and unprecedented cultivation speed. This phenomenon transforms Li Feng from a social outcast into an object of intense desire as well as a major threat. Saintesses from holy sects see him as a tool to achieve their sacred goals; the Demon Queen desires him for personal power and her ambition to challenge the dominance of the holy sects; while the Dragon Princess views him as a cultivation partner with the potential for a deep bond or even greater personal ambitions. Li Feng, who was originally just an ordinary man thrown into a vortex of power, must learn to navigate political intrigue, dangers lurking around every corner, and the temptation of the power within him. He will be forced to choose a path among the factions fighting over him, each with its own agenda and morality. As he grows in strength and understanding, Li Feng begins to uncover the secrets behind the ancient heavenly curse and the true connection between his Ancient Yang Core and the greater destiny of the world.

Ethan Cole spent twenty-four years being treated like a nobody. Born into a wealthy family but abandoned after a mysterious incident, Ethan grew up believing he had been forgotten. He worked tirelessly, endured humiliation, and watched privileged people take opportunities that should have been his. Then, on the night he is betrayed and thrown out of the company he helped build, something impossible happens. [Hidden System Activated.] For the first time, Ethan receives a chance to change his fate. The system does not simply hand him unlimited wealth. It gives him challenges, rewards, abilities, and opportunities that force him to become stronger. Every achievement brings Ethan closer to becoming the man he was always capable of being. The man everyone once mocked soon becomes a powerful force in the city. Rivals who looked down on him begin fearing his name. But Ethan's greatest battle isn't against his enemies. Every new system level unlocks fragments of his forgotten past. Someone deliberately erased his memories, destroyed his family, and kept Ethan weak for a reason. As he builds his empire, Ethan uncovers secret organizations, dangerous enemies, and a conspiracy reaching far beyond the business world. His journey is no longer about becoming rich. It is about discovering his identity, exposing those responsible, and uncovering why the system chose him. But the closer Ethan gets to the truth, the more dangerous his power becomes. Because the greatest secret is this: Ethan was never chosen to inherit the system. He was chosen to become its ultimate weapon.

Ethan Cole returns to Crestfield City after five years of silence carrying nothing but a duffel bag and a debt that isn't his to pay. His father is dead. His family home has been seized. And the men he once commanded the brothers he bled beside are being decorated as national heroes for a mission that was his in every way that mattered. Nobody in Crestfield knows that Ethan Cole doesn't exist in any public military record. The name that exists classified, redacted, spoken only in the highest corridors of military intelligence is Ghost. The supreme commander behind three of the most consequential covert operations in recent history. The soldier four governments tried to eliminate and failed. The man whose real file carries a classification level that most generals will never hold clearance to read. Ethan isn't back for revenge. Revenge is beneath him. He's back because the people who destroyed his name made one critical miscalculation they assumed his silence was surrender. It wasn't. Working from a budget motel room and a mall security job, Ethan begins dismantling the corruption quietly and precisely freezing promotions, routing evidence to a journalist, cutting financial threads that connect his betrayers to a corrupt general named Hutchins who buried the true record of Operation Blackfall to protect his own interests. When Hutchins sends six armed contractors to silence him permanently, they end up on the ground in forty five seconds, and the footage reaches military high command before morning. The reckoning that follows is swift, public, and absolute. Hutchins is detained. Delta Seven faces tribunal. And in the middle of a half empty shopping mall, the second highest ranking officer in the country walks across the floor in full dress uniform and salutes a man in a security guard's uniform.
