He knew this world. Not because he had lived here before, but because he had once read about it in a novel he never finished. Now, somehow, he has become the long-lost biological son of one of the most powerful families—a true heir who disappeared years ago and has finally been brought home. But someone has already taken his place. The adopted son has spent years being loved as the perfect child and raised as the future heir. And now that the real son has returned, he has no intention of giving up the life he believes belongs to him. Smiles hide schemes. Kind words carry traps. Even a simple family dinner can become a battlefield. Fortunately, the new heir remembers a few things from the novel. Unfortunately… only a few. And as events begin changing from the story he remembers, he soon realizes that knowing part of the plot may not be enough to survive it. Because his return hasn’t simply changed who will inherit the family. It has changed the entire story.

"Every time I kill, a memory of my mother is erased. Every time I use this power, my own name becomes foreign to my ears." Five years after the Red Rose plague transformed Chicago into a vegetative hell, Nico Moretti survives as a monster wearing human skin. Known as Subject 01, Nico is the Patient Zero who successfully adapted to the alien seeds from Aegis Pharma. However, that power comes with a horrific price: every 1% increase in Mutation permanently strips away 1% of his memories. In the midst of the Great Bloom Cycle that has begun to destroy the remnants of civilization, Nico rescues Elena Vance, a scientist who holds the secret key to Project Catalyst. Nico is now hunted not only by the Apostles—humans who worship the plague—but also by Sovereign, the collective consciousness of the roses that seeks to take over his body completely. With the arrival of The Reapers from space and a military ready to incinerate the city, Nico must fight through thousands of Bloomers toward the Greenhouse. He must choose: lose all his memories to become a God who destroys his enemies, or die as a human who doesn't remember who he is. Blood must be spilled, mutations must bloom. Because in this world, power isn't free—it is paid for with the soul.

Jax was just a poor convenience store clerk until the sky turned red and giant monsters invaded the city. On the very same day the world ended, his rich fiancée Chloe dumped him in front of everyone, calling him a broke loser who would never amount to anything. Left with nothing, Jax was trapped in his tiny store, waiting for death. Then the Infinite Sanctuary System woke up inside his mind. Suddenly, his small, cheap corner shop turned into an indestructible fortress. Inside his store, Jax is completely immortal, and simple everyday items turn into super weapons. A hot cup of instant noodles gives him three hundred percent physical strength, and a simple bronze dagger can slice through giant beasts like paper. While the arrogant people who once laughed at Jax are starving, crying, and running for their lives outside in the cold mud, Jax is living like a king inside his bright, fully stocked shop. Now, his evil ex-fiancée and the bullies who kicked him around are begging at his glass door, screaming for a single can of beans. But Jax has simple rules: no money, no mercy, and no free passes. If you want to survive, you bow down and pay the price.

Ethan Carter loved Helen Blake so much that he became less than human for her. Her family treated him like a free servant. Her friends treated him like entertainment. And Helen? Helen treated him like a dog that would never leave. “Wait outside.” “Cook dinner.” “Pick Charlie up.” “Stop embarrassing me.” He obeyed everything. Even after Charlie poured alcohol on his head in public. Even after Helen forced him to apologize for things he never did. Even after hearing her say: “A man like Ethan should feel grateful I keep him around.” Then one night, while Ethan waited alone at City Hall to marry her, Charlie sent him a video. Helen in Charlie’s arms. Laughing. Kissing. Mocking Ethan together. “Your dog is still waiting for you downstairs,” Charlie joked. Helen only laughed harder. That night, Ethan disappeared. The next morning, hundreds of black luxury cars surrounded the Blake family mansion. The forgotten heir of the Carter dynasty had returned. The same man they treated like a stray dog… was actually the future ruler of a quadrillion-dollar empire. And this time— the people who made him kneel will be the ones crawling.

At the tender age of fifteen, a prince was expelled from the splendor of the palace, and his breath ceasing at the age of 31 marked the beginning of an endless journey. His life, akin to a wheel ceaselessly turning, traversed nine cycles of tragic repetitions. Tirelessly, he assumed various roles: from an itinerant trader to a daring Class S adventurer. Yet, his fate felt like a song stuck on repeat: death at the hands of the imperial queen each time he reached the age of 31. However, in his tenth life, the prince devised a new plan. With fervent determination, he resolved to confront the queen who had been the root cause of his tragic deaths. Yet, as he infiltrated the academy where the queen sought knowledge, hidden secrets unveiled before his eyes.

On the quest for truth, the prince discovered unexpected love, strengthened friendships, and the latent power within himself. As he struggled to break the curse that shackled his life, tough choices emerged before him: would he succumb to the burning desire for revenge, or opt to reshape the continually revolving future? Ultimately, the prince must decide whether he will break free from the chains of his tragic destiny or remain ensnared in the unending circle of life.

Ethan Cole is a broke accountant crushed by inherited debt, a stolen career, and a fiancée who leaves him for a billionaire heir. Framed for embezzlement by his own CEO, publicly beaten by loan sharks, and stripped of his home, Ethan reaches his lowest point and attempts suicide. Instead of dying, he awakens the Infinite Cashback System ... an entity that converts every loss, humiliation, and injury into wealth, skill, or power, the magnitude of the reward matching the depth of the loss. What starts as quiet survival becomes empire-building, as Ethan anonymously buys out the people who destroyed him. As his fortune grows, so does the scale of his enemies: corporate rivals, hidden martial clans, ancient cultivators, and secret rulers who have controlled Earth from the shadows for centuries. Guided by Luna, the System's evolving AI, Ethan discovers his suffering was never random ... his parents' deaths, his humiliations, even the System itself were engineered as part of a cosmic selection process to produce the next Universal Administrator. As Earth is revealed to be a mere "beginner planet" in a vast interstellar hierarchy, Ethan must decide whether to become a tool of that system or dismantle it entirely ... using the very power his losses created to free countless worlds from the cycle of exploitation that shaped him.

They call me Julian Mercer and I keep my head down because I learned the hard way that a name can be a target. I answered an ad for a rental and signed a paper I promised myself I’d never sign: a marriage contract. The job was simple — be the son-in-law for thirty days, take the money, be gone. The family needs a “son” to secure a heritage grant and I need the cash to buy a clean slate. What I didn’t plan for was the way Lila Ardmore looked at me like she already knew what I was hiding. Another thing I didn’t plan for was the ledger in an old piano and the way a neighbor called my mother’s name, and the knot in my gut that felt like an alarm the night someone tried to burn the past into ash. I came to act. I stayed to fix what I broke, and the longer I stayed the more I realized the man I was taught to be will not survive who I have to become. If you want my story, read it from where the dark starts.
