Harvey York's Rise To Power

In the Holy Oakhaven Empire, power is dictated by one's alignment with Aether the pristine celestial mana wielded by highborn mages and noble knights. Tristan Vance possesses an Aether alignment score of absolute zero. An orphan raised by a disgraced, disabled vanguard soldier, Tristan is tolerated at the Imperial Knight Academy only as a "Shield Bearer" A glorified cannon fodder meant to absorb spells for noble squires. For three years, Tristan endures systematic humiliation, culminating in a brutal betrayal when his aristocratic rival, Julian Vanguard, leaves him for dead during a staged scouting mission in the monster-infested Ashen Ravine. Bleeding out in the depths of the earth, Tristan’s mortal blood seeps into a buried, primordial ruin, awakening the Primordial Dragon God Bloodline. Instead of drawing from the sky's Aether, Tristan can now absorb the raw, chaotic energy of the earth and command the extinct terrors of the sky. To survive, Tristan must live a double life. By day, he returns to the empire, climbing the ranks of the Royal Knights as a seemingly "ordinary" martial fighter who defies magical logic. By night, he masterminds the liberation of forgotten territories, uncovers the corrupt rot of the Holy See, and raises a hidden legion of dragons. From a humiliated slave-soldier to the master of the skies, Tristan’s path is paved with the shattered reputations of those who looked down on him, ultimately forcing him to unite humans, elves, and dwarves against an oncoming Abyssal Invasion.

"Your kidney? Haha! Ethan, you really are an idiot. It was me who needed a kidney match, and your wife gave yours to me!" For three long years, Ethan Sterling hid his true identity to pass a family test. He lived as a poor house servant, cooked all the meals, and even gave up his own kidney to save his father-in-law. But it was all a giant trap. His cruel wife, Chloe, only used him to save her rich secret lover. When Ethan catches them together at a luxury resort, Chloe doesn't feel bad at all. She tells him, "Let's be realistic, Ethan. You're just a useless delivery guy. Your kidney is much better off inside a rich man."

Ethan Grey has lived his entire life as nothing. Born without a spiritual root at Skyward Academy — the world's most powerful cultivation institution — he was deemed a hollow, a defect, a boy the heavens forgot to gift. For six years he carried water, scrubbed floors, and watched disciples blaze with qi he would never touch. The Academy didn't even bother to hate him. It simply looked through him. But the night a dying elder presses a jade slip into Ethan's hand and warns him to trust no one — especially not the feared Lord Kael — everything Ethan thought he knew about himself begins to crack. Because Ethan is not hollow. He is empty. And empty, it turns out, is something far more dangerous. Hidden within the jade slip is the Forgotten Sutra — an ancient, erased cultivation method that operates not on elemental qi, but on void: the primordial silence beneath all energy, the space between heartbeats, the darkness before the first flame. It is the original path. The one the powerful buried on purpose. As Ethan awakens abilities no cultivation manual has ever described, he uncovers a conspiracy that runs deeper than one corrupt academy — a three-thousand-year-old crime committed by the world's greatest sects to keep mortals spiritually chained forever. He was supposed to be nothing. Instead, he may be the only person alive who can burn the whole system down.

Action. Face Slapping. Urban They called him a servant, a fraud and a murderer. For twenty-one years, Nathaniel Sinclair believed he was nothing. He was stolen at birth and raised as the adopted son of the wealthy Ashford family, he was treated like dirt beneath their feet. He scrubbed their floors, endured their insults and took the blame for everything that went wrong. And when the golden child, Preston Ashford, killed a man in a drunk driving accident, they forced Nate to take the fall. They held him down and poured whiskey down his throat. They handed him to the police like garbage. But prison gave him something the Ashfords never expected. Now he is free. Now he knows the truth. Now he is coming back. They have no idea they are standing on the edge of a cliff. Nathaniel Sinclair is no longer their scapegoat. He is their reckoning.

Repay kindness with kindness, but repay evil with justice was a motto that Billy Wood lived by. That was why he accepted being looked down upon by his in-laws, who accepted an orphan like him into the family despite having nothing in his name. However, he never expected that they were secretly plotting to kick him out after taking advantage of kindness so that his wife could marry a wealthy man. As he was about to protest this decision, he died when the zombie apocalypse suddenly happened. Fortunately, luck was on his side, and he received the Save and Restart System, which granted him the ability to start over as many times as he wanted. It was time that they learned not to poke the sleeping tiger. Mega Writing Prompt #002/MWP#002 & Mega Writing Prompt #003/MWP#003
