I Hate Harrys

"Look at yourself, Caleb. You smell like grease and poverty. You are an absolute disgrace. We are over." "You were the perfect stepping stone. You paid her bills, fed her, and polished her up just enough so she could catch a billionaire's eye. Good job, peasant." For four long years, Caleb starved himself and worked three exhausting factory jobs to pay for his girlfriend's college tuition. But on her graduation day, she ruthlessly dumped him for a billionaire heir, leaving Caleb beaten and bleeding in a rainy alleyway. But as he lay in the dirt, a cold, robotic voice echoed inside his mind, bringing an absurd, terrifying power: [Negative Emotion Spending System Activated. Initial Funds: $100,000,000.] The rules are simple: He gets a hundred million dollars every single day—but he can only spend it to drive his enemies into absolute ruin. High society thought they could step on anybody... but they are about to find out what happens when a slum rat gets limitless wealth and a desire for revenge.

Three years behind bars. Three years taking the blame for a crime he never committed, all to protect the woman he loved and her family. Now, Eddard is finally free. But the moment he walks out of Hell Prison, his wife, Arya, hands him divorce papers. Her reason? He is no longer useful. With her company's IPO approaching, Arya refuses to let a disgraced ex-convict ruin her future. Her family humiliates Eddard, calls him a worthless parasite, and throws him out like trash. Then they come for his late parents' villa. They think Eddard has nothing left. They couldn't be more wrong. Because those three years in prison weren't the end of Eddard's story. They were the beginning. While the world believed he was rotting behind bars, Eddard inherited an unimaginable legacy. He is Zeus, the supreme ruler of the Apex of the Stars, a hidden empire whose wealth and influence stretches across six continents.

The man her family called a worthless nobody? He's the man the entire world will soon kneel before. As billionaires, magnates, and the city's most powerful figures line up for his favor, Arya's family is still celebrating their little corporate empire. Until Eddard reveals who he really is. Their arrogance will crumble. Their fortunes will collapse. And the people who once kicked him into the dirt will come crawling back, begging for mercy. But they made one fatal mistake. They betrayed the man who now stands at the apex. And the Apex of the Stars... doesn't forgive.

"Making girls fall for me like this... who the hell would want that?!" - Tenko Sawaru Inspired by the Parallel Paradise manga series by Lynn Okamoto.

Seven years ago, a blue screen appeared before every human on Earth and promised a new beginning. Within a day, millions were dead. Now everyone has a System: a level, a rank, a worth measured in numbers. Everyone except Kael Draven. No level. No skills. No place in a world that treats the powerless as disposable. He has survived seven years in the ruins of New York by noticing what others miss, and he is still searching for the little sister who vanished the night his parents died. Then his team abandons him inside a dungeon that was never supposed to wake up. Kael studies the monster hunting him, finds the one thing it fears, and lives. And as it falls, the System flashes a message it was never meant to show: [WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW SUBJECT TO ACCESS THE CORE.] Why would the most powerful force on Earth be afraid of a man it cannot even see? Before he can find out, he touches a black relic older than the System itself, and every awakened user for miles loses their powers for three terrifying seconds. By morning, he is the most wanted man in Ironhaven. But Kael is done being the hunted. With a disgraced commander, a runaway scientist, and a loyal giant who owes him his life, he starts pulling at a conspiracy buried in the night his family was murdered. Every lie he exposes makes him more dangerous. Every rule he breaks makes the System more afraid. Everyone else grows stronger by obeying the System. Kael grows stronger by finding where it breaks. It named him humanity's greatest threat. It has no idea what it just created.

Ethan Su awakened what everyone called the worst Class in history: Farmer. E-rank talent. No combat power. No future. At least, that was what everyone believed. What they didn’t know was that Ethan’s Farmer Class was Unique—and Evolvable. His crops had a perfect survival rate. His harvests multiplied tenfold. His abilities could evolve. And inside his territory, even powerful enemies could not touch him. In a post-apocalyptic world where monsters roam beyond the walls and real food has nearly vanished, Ethan’s “useless” Class becomes something priceless. His first cabbage sells for a fortune, and suddenly corporations, powerful families, and Awakened elites begin paying attention. But money is only the beginning. As Ethan gathers Evolution Energy, unlocks stronger abilities, expands his territory, and rises through the ranks, the Farmer everyone mocked begins turning barren land into his domain—and weakness into absolute power. They laughed when he awakened the world’s worst Class. Soon, they will learn that this Farmer is unstoppable.

I can't do this anymore I'm sorry, I'm quitting I just can't handle it no more, I need rest, loads of rest

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?"

"Three jobs. Endless sacrifices. A dying father. Yet my wife emptied our savings for her secret lover. When the hospital demanded another $800,000, she looked me in the eyes and said coldly: 'Sell your kidney. You only need one.' Desperate, I went to the underground broker. During the examination, an old professor saw the jade pendant around my neck... and suddenly knelt before me. Now everything has changed. The same hospital that wanted to throw my father out... now belongs to someone they never expected. And tomorrow, my cheating wife will walk in with her lover — ready to mock the 'worthless husband.' She has no idea what she's about to face."

His mother was abandoned, left to rot in a storage room. His blind sister had been sold as a gift to powerful men. And the woman he sacrificed everything for stood laughing beside her new lover. "My future is worth more than your entire family," Olivia sneered. Something inside Kevin died that day. But what Olivia didn't know was that prison hadn't broken him—it had transformed him. The desperate prisoner she mocked was secretly the last disciple of a legendary master. The same man now held the favor of billionaires, business empires, and the most powerful figures in the country. Holding his dying mother in his arms, Kevin made a vow. "You took everything from me." His eyes turned cold. "Now I'll take everything from you." They betrayed a son. They sold a sister. They created the billionaire who would become their downfall.

Ten years ago, when the Abyss tore open the world and the greatest heroes fell, one young genius walked alone into the darkness and stole its Power Core. The invasion stopped. Humanity was saved. But the Core exacted a terrible price: it shattered his cultivation, crippled his body, and slowly devoured his soul. To keep the Abyss from reclaiming its heart, he refined the Core inside himself in secret for a decade, enduring mockery, abandonment, and the quiet contempt of everyone he had once protected. His fiancée lost respect. His family turned away. Former comrades called him a broken failure. The world forgot the savior who had paid everything. Then the refinement finished. Power returned—not as it once was, but far beyond any known realm. Kael Valerian was no longer human. He had become the Master of the Abyss. On the night of his awakening, he overheard the truth: his fiancée and a powerful noble planned to kill him and seize his inheritance. That night the weakest man in the world vanished. The strongest being in history walked free. Now, under a false identity, he moves through kingdoms and ruins, gathering allies, taming legendary beasts, and unlocking the Abyss Core’s deeper secrets. Old enemies will recognize him. Political wars will ignite. A second invasion will rise. And the true origin of the Abyss—an ancient civilization’s forgotten crime—will force him to confront not only those who betrayed him, but the lie upon which the entire world was built. Revenge. Power. Slow-burn love. Kingdoms at war. And the burden of a forgotten hero who must decide whether to save the world again… or rule the darkness it created. The Abyss Sovereign has returned.
