Girl Todoroki

Ryan spent years working his fingers to the bone as a low-level country club caddie, swallowing his pride just to secure a future for the girl he loved. But cold reality crushed his dreams in a single afternoon when his girlfriend publicly abandoned him for an arrogant, wealthy trust-fund heir, leaving Ryan fired, humiliated, and cast out into the dirt. At his absolute lowest point, a mechanical chime rings inside his head: [Ding! The Absolute Appraiser System has successfully integrated with the Host!] Suddenly, Ryan's eyes can see through the grandest deceptions of the world, instantly revealing the true value, hidden flaws, secrets, and future trajectories of any object or person within his gaze. A seemingly rusted coin buried in the mud turns out to be a priceless antique; a flawless piece of executive jade is exposed as a synthetic counterfeit; and the hidden crimes of corporate magnates are laid completely bare before his eyes. From an impoverished outcast to an all-powerful capital overlord, watch as Ryan climbs the ranks of high society, shatters his rivals, and forces everyone who ever looked down on him to beg for his mercy. In a world ruled by wealth, Ryan’s word is now the absolute law!

I am just so weak right now but when the time is right, I will change the world. **** For sixteen years Rafael was haunted daily by this dream of being chained opposite a scary sculpture on the wall but yesterday a very pretty girl who was sure older than himself in real life visited him and the feeling of being with someone who could listen to him in that cold room for the first time made him feel better than living in a world where he was rejected and his views no longer matters. His ears picked up footsteps approaching and his wandering thoughts jolted back. When it became louder his heart began to beat now he could spend some more time with the beauty who visited him last night but his joy did not last long because instead of a slender looking lady with an endearing smile, a hoarse cough was heard and thereafter an evil looking plump man walked in. "For the first time I have met you awake." He laughed. "And it tracks since it will be rude if you are not informed before your are executed. Even though you are an anomaly your majesty, your mother was a queen so it is wise if you are atleast honored as a prince for the rest of your days!"

Marcus Griffin was nothing but a joke at Elite-Star University. A poor scholarship student forced to scrub floors, run errands, and bow his head to billionaire heirs, campus royalty, and the daughter of a feared professor. He endured every insult for one reason—survival. Even the girl he loved treated him like a stepping stone to something better. Then, in a single day, everything was taken from him. Public betrayal. Public humiliation. His girlfriend accepted another man’s proposal in front of the entire class. His scholarship was revoked. His expulsion announced. His life erased. But as Marcus ran with nothing left to lose, the truth found him. He was never poor. He was never weak. He was the sole heir to the Griffin Empire—a hidden power controlling unimaginable wealth, corporations, and global influence. With one phone call, fortunes shifted. With one card, rules were rewritten. Marcus returned to campus quietly… patiently. Let them mock him again. Let them underestimate him. Behind the scenes, he dismantled empires, exposed corruption, ruined billionaires, and turned enemies into kneeling wrecks. From boardrooms to car shows, from classrooms to global markets, his revenge was precise, merciless, and absolute. They laughed at a pauper. They created a ruler.

He was already the greatest. In his former world, Dorian Ash climbed a mountain at twelve, descended at eighteen, and spent a lifetime defeating every warrior who dared stand before him. No master. No equal. No ceiling left to break. Then fate moved him somewhere new. A world where power is everything. Where cultivation decides your worth, your status, your right to breathe. Where the strong grind the weak into the dirt without a second thought. He wakes up in the body of a failure. A laughingstock. A lovesick fool who wasted three years chasing a girl instead of chasing greatness — and died with nothing to show for it. But the soul now wearing that broken body? He has never lost. Not once. Not ever. Armed with the mysterious Void Absorption System and a martial technique so ancient the world itself tried to erase it, Dorian begins his climb. Not for revenge. Not for recognition. Not for anyone. Only for one reason. The pinnacle of this world exists somewhere above the clouds — and he intends to stand on it. Every academy. Every kingdom. Every realm. Every so-called immortal who believes their ceiling is the absolute limit of what a human being can become. He is coming for all of it. The void does not ask for permission. It simply absorbs everything in its path.

She is Nine. Blade IX of the Nine Abysses. Three hundred years ago Hell erased her name, burned its sigils into her arms, and installed a recitation under her ribs that counts her target's sins until the day she ends him. Her target: Xiao Jin, crown prince of Dalang. Wolf-blooded. Disrespectful. Weighed and found owing. The Moon's blessing makes a wolf prince untouchable to enemy blades. Only his bride can take him: the one who shares his bed and speaks the condemnation in the bridal rite. So Hell sends brides. Two burned before her. Seven was collared and sang for three days. Now Nine walks into the Looking Room wearing a drowned girl's face, meaning to be chosen. He chooses her. Then he laughs at her, a real laugh, the first true thing anyone has given her in three hundred years, and the recitation under her ribs goes silent mid-word. Now she is his chosen bride, one locked door from his bed, with a priest who already knows what she is, a kingdom that believes he murders brides, a Hell that does not forgive failure, and a mission she can no longer remember how to speak. Every chapter ends with something snapping. The only question that matters: which of them breaks first, and into what.

He was running through the thick, dark forest surrounded by nothing, but danger and right now he was being hunted. Rushing along the path while holding on to a delicate armament, ain’t a joke but, when it’s something you risked it all for, it’s worth it. "Don’t let him get out of sight!” A shout echoed through, that nearly shuddered him. He was fast, but he had to take the lead, being caught by the soldiers meant nothing but trouble. After entering a denser region of the forest, he used one of his exclusive skills. ‘Stealth’, and he vanished. “What the hell? Where did he go! Find him!” He could see those soldiers conversing from a few branches above. Climbing that fast certainly helped him well. Now he had to wait for them to scatter away, which they did in just a while allowing him to escape. Entering a castle certainly proved to be a difficult task, but to him, it was just a daily routine. He walked right through the castle halls and entered a seemingly familiar room. “Alas! finally, there’s no one on my back!” He thought, letting out a sigh of relief he entered the room but was caught off-guard as he was pinned by a girl, young and beautiful but rather stronger than him. “Got you, Prince!”

Heaven feeds those who climb. But no one asks what happens when they reach the top. Ren Kai is a starving beggar with a broken cultivation core, a sick little sister, and eleven copper coins. When he gives his last bowl of noodles to a dying old man, he gets a bent, ugly coin in return, and one warning: “Do not get full.” Days later, in front of thirty thousand people, a cruel noble crushes his core. Instead of dying, Ren Kai devours the fire meant to kill him. A black mouth with nine golden teeth opens on his chest, and a dead thief starts talking inside his head. The more he eats, the stronger he gets. But a full stomach puts his power to sleep, so he must stay hungry to stay dangerous. Then he finds a glowing number on his sister’s back. It is a countdown, and Heaven is not blessing her. It is harvesting her. Now a smiling Steward wants the coin, an entire sect wants the girl, and every bite Ren Kai takes makes the clock run faster. He has 975 days to find out what Heaven really tastes like. And to eat it. A funny, fast-paced, tragic cultivation story about hunger, family, and one beggar who refuses to be anyone’s meal.
