In Five Years A

Every ten years, the world's wealthiest and most powerful people secretly gather to play a deadly game known as The Carnival. Contestants aren't chosen at random they're people who have disappeared from society without anyone noticing. One man refuses to play by the rules. Wearing a cracked clown mask and laughing in the face of death, he turns the hunters into the hunted. The media calls him The Laughing King, while the criminals who fear him give him another name: The Joker. But no one knows who he really is or why every move he makes seems to have been planned years in advance. The deeper he goes into the Carnival, the more horrifying the truth becomes: the game is only the first layer of a conspiracy that has manipulated governments, billionaires, assassins, and entire cities for decades.

After three years of hiding his trillionaire identity to play the "perfect husband," Xavier Knight is served divorce papers on his anniversary—only to be picked up in a convoy of Rolls-Royces by the woman who will become his new, more powerful wife. I gave Sarah Miller everything: my time, my heart, and three years of silent service while she climbed the corporate ladder. But on our third anniversary, she didn't bring home a gift; she brought a billionaire suitor and a divorce contract. She called me a "parasite." Her mother called me a "stain." They thought they were throwing away trash. Little did they know, the "delivery boy" they despised was the elusive Chairman of the Sovereign Group. Now, the trial is over. The lion is awake. And Sarah is about to realize that losing me was the most expensive mistake of her life.

They called him worthless. They had no idea. For three years, Alex Carter endured hell as the live-in son-in-law everyone despised. His wife's family forced him to eat in the kitchen, insult him in front of guests, and he worked three jobs just to survive their mockery. On their anniversary, they delivered the final blow: "Emma's pregnant with Ryan's child." They threw him out like trash. That was the moment he found out he's the secret heir to a $1.2 trillion empire. His years of suffering? It was a test of character—and he passed. Now the world will watch as the "worthless" son-in-law becomes the most powerful man alive. Emma's begging. Her family's panicking. Ryan's finished. But Alex isn't listening anymore. Revenge is a dish best served globally

For fifteen years, Ethan Vale lived inside a game. Eternal Ascension of Tower once had hundreds of millions of players, but as the years passed, they disappeared one by one.

Then the game asked him one final question. [Did you enjoy the game?] [Would you like to play another game?] Ethan chose yes. The update stopped at one percent. Three years later, Ethan has abandoned gaming. He works an ordinary job and spends most of his salary supporting his sick parents.
