Hidden Gem

He buried the world’s deadliest killer twenty-seven years ago. Now, an algorithm just put a crosshair on his daughter. Julian Fletcher was the Obsidian Brotherhood’s most lethal operative—a ghost soldier who faked his death to escape an elite international syndicate of assassins and power brokers. For nearly three decades, he lived peacefully in Montana as a quiet carpenter, coaching Little League and protecting the family he loved. Until a military-grade surveillance algorithm flags his nineteen-year-old daughter, Beatrix, during a university rally. Within hours, heavy hit squads invade his home. Forced to pull his hidden tactical kit from beneath the floorboards, Julian unleashes twenty-seven years of suppressed violence to execute the invaders. But the Brotherhood has modernized into a global cyber empire, and they want the Ghost erased for good. Partnering with Beatrix—whose high-tech cyber warfare capabilities serve as his real-time tactical operator—Julian launches an unrelenting, one-man war across Europe to dismantle his five former "siblings" and execute the Syndicate's leader. They hunted his blood. Now, the Ghost is coming to collect.

“I took the fall for your family’s mistake. And this is how you repay me?” Alisha laughed. “Marrying you was the biggest mistake of my life. I thought I could turn a charity case into a man. Turns out, you’ll always belong in the gutters.” Her words shattered the last piece of Rhy’s heart. Five years ago, Rhys sacrificed everything to protect a family that was never truly his. Branded a criminal, he entered prison with nothing. But Rhys walked out a king. Now the ex-con they mocked has returned as the most powerful man in the city: a legendary healer, an unstoppable fighter, and the hidden heir to an empire beyond imagination. The woman who discarded him wants him back. The family who betrayed him begs for forgiveness. The enemies who hunted him pray it’s not too late. They called him trash. Now they’re about to discover what happens when a king stops holding back.

In 2061, humanity falls under the rule of the Eclipse System, a divine game controlled by celestial tyrants called Judicators. Humans are reduced to either privileged servants or disposable gladiators forced to fight for entertainment. Kael Draven was once one of the enslaved. After enduring endless bloodshed, he rose to become the Eternal Reaper—the first human to slaughter the gods themselves. But upon reaching the heavens, he uncovered the truth: the System was created by the Architects to endlessly harvest human suffering across repeating timelines. To destroy the cycle, Kael shattered reality itself. Kael awakens ten years in the past, once again trapped inside the brutal Obsidian Bastion with a slave collar around his neck and his powers gone. Yet hidden within his soul lies the Void Reliquary, a forbidden vault containing stolen divine powers from his previous life. While the world follows the System’s rules, Kael gains strength through Sin Echoes earned by defying fate itself. Pretending to be a weak gladiator, he secretly prepares for vengeance. This time, he won’t merely survive the gods’ game—he will erase the heavens before they can rule humanity again.

Once, Ethan Ashford gave everything for the woman he loved. In return, she betrayed him. Veronica Harrington secretly gave the resources she took from Ethan to her lover, Damien Blackwood, the so-called Chosen One, the Protagonist, the Child of Luck, or whatever else. While Damien and other protagonists took countless "fortuitous encounters" to become the world's heroes, Ethan became the villain everyone despised. Betrayed and tortured, his family was destroyed, his bloodline exterminated, and he died filled with hatred and regret. But fate wasn't finished with him. Ethan awakened a hundred years in the past, before every tragedy began. And that too with a heaven-defying System, called the Villain System, that could give him rewards for changing his own destiny and destroying these protagonists' fortunes. This time, Ethan knew every opportunity the Chosen Ones would obtain, every scheme hidden in the shadows, and every betrayal waiting for him. Did the Divine Healer descend from the mountains? "I'll steal his inheritance." Is the King of Soldiers returning to reclaim his glory? "I'll crush him before he even rises." The destined Son of Fortune? The Heavenly Genius? The Peerless Sword Saint? I'll take every one of their opportunities and leave them with nothing. "As for the heroines who once stood beside those protagonists... If they deserve redemption, they'll stand by my side instead. If they choose my enemies, they'll share their fate." In this life, Ethan would no longer be the stepping stone beneath the protagonists' feet. He would become the nightmare that hunts every Chosen One. After all... "Who says villains are destined to lose?"

Nathan Cross is a respected forensic accountant assigned to audit the country's most celebrated charity, the Soren Foundation. He uncovers a horrifying truth: the foundation is a front for laundering money tied to assassinations, political manipulation, and worse. Before he can report it, he's framed — his office raided, evidence planted, his name dragged through the media. His father collapses under the stress and later dies. His sister Chloe vanishes the same night he's arrested. In prison, Nathan realizes this was never about the money — someone needed his spotless reputation to make the lie believable, and now they need him gone. With help from a mysterious ally with their own agenda, he escapes during a staged ambush on a prison transfer. The world believes he's dead. Nathan watches his own funeral from a distance. Two years later, he returns to Blackridge under a new identity, quietly hunting the people who destroyed his life. He discovers they're all connected through a hidden network called The Ledger — and at its center is Victor Soren, the philanthropist everyone trusts. As Nathan dismantles Victor's empire piece by piece, journalist Elena Brooks — who built her career chasing "the truth" about Nathan's guilt — realizes the mysterious stranger she's investigating is Nathan himself. Together, reluctantly, they dig deeper: corrupt judges, bought police, a mentor whose loyalty is unclear, and finally, proof that Chloe is alive. As Nathan closes in on the truth behind why he was chosen to be framed, he must decide what kind of man his revenge will make him — and whether exposing The Ledger is worth the innocent lives it could also destroy.

Jasper had already died once. In his previous life, he was a rising actor whose career was destroyed after he was falsely accused of murder. Betrayed by the people closest to him, he eventually died with nothing left behind. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself inside a cultivation novel he had read from beginning to end. Worse, he had become Jasper Stoneheart, a useless young master destined to die during the early stages of the original story. But Jasper knew the plot. He knew which families would rise and fall, which characters would become legends, and which places would eventually turn into killing grounds. With that knowledge, he decided that his second life would be different. He didn't care about becoming the strongest cultivator in existence. After everything he had experienced, all Jasper wanted was a peaceful life where nobody knew his name. With the help of a mysterious system and a strange blindfold containing the Eye of the Void, Jasper began changing his fate. Six years later, he finally believed he had succeeded. Living as a blind man in a quiet village, Jasper had a loving wife, a daughter, and the peaceful home he had always wanted. His cultivation remained hidden, and the world had forgotten he existed. Unfortunately, Jasper had made one mistake. He never realized that the village he escaped to wasn't outside the story. It was at the very heart of it. His gentle wife hides a terrifying identity, the original protagonist is still following his destined path, and the empire Jasper unknowingly lives within is destined to become the greatest battlefield in the novel. Jasper thought he had escaped his fate. Instead, he became the Emperor standing at its center.
