In Five Years A

After leading his nation to victory and earning the title of War God, Scott Grayson turns down a grand celebration to return home—back to the woman he’s loved and waited for through four long years of war. But nothing could prepare him for what he finds. The house he once shared with his wife has been sold. She’s disappeared without a word. And when he finally tracks her down, he’s met with an even more devastating truth—Laura is living in luxury, engaged to another man, and planning a wedding. She doesn’t know he’s the hero the entire country is celebrating. She doesn’t know the sacrifices he made for her, including the years he spent behind bars for a crime she committed. Now, Scott is back—not as the broken man who left, but as a legend. And he wants revenge.

They called me a loser. They laughed when I got dumped in the rain. They thought my life was over. They were wrong. My name is Leo Vance. Twenty-four years old, junior analyst, three years of savings thrown away on an engagement ring my ex-girlfriend never wanted. The night she left me for Richard — the arrogant heir of my own company — something inside me broke. Or maybe something finally woke up. An old coin I bought at a flea market years ago cut my palm. Blood met metal. And then I heard it. **[Ding! Omni-Investment System activated.]** Now I see what nobody else can. Above every person, every object, every decision — glowing numbers. Investment return rates. Percentages. Exact outcomes. A beggar on the street? *Invest $50. Return: 10,000%.* A "worthless" painting at auction? *Hidden masterpiece. Return: 4,000%.* A quiet intern everyone ignores? *Key to destroying your enemy. Return: 5,000%.* I started with fifty dollars. Within a week, I had a million. Within a month, Richard was on his knees, his family's empire crumbling because of information only I could see. But money was just the beginning. The deeper I go, the more I realize this system doesn't just show financial returns. It shows martial secrets, ancient techniques, hidden powers buried in this city's underworld. The people who laughed at me? They're about to learn what happens when a nobody sees everything. I don't get angry. I don't beg. I invest. And I always collect.

They burned my mother's name into the dirt and sold my sister to silence. Ten years ago I was a boy who could not stop them. Tonight I walk back into Ironport as a stranger, and nobody in this city knows that the empire whispered about in war rooms and black markets across three continents answers to me. I came back for two things. My sister, locked behind a fence and told for six years that she is broken. And the truth about the night my mother died, a truth this city buried so deep it forgot to check whether her son would ever come digging. They think the past is buried. They are about to learn that I dug it up, and I brought fire. But some of the people I trust most are not who I think they are, and the closer I get to the truth, the more I realize the enemy I came home to destroy might already be sitting at my own table, wearing a familiar face. Every step forward costs me someone I love, and every answer I find only opens a door onto a darker one. And somewhere in the middle of a war I never meant to survive with my heart intact, a woman on the wrong side of this fight is starting to make me forget why I came back cold. I built ten years of armor around myself for exactly this city. I never planned on anyone finding a way through it. They think I am a stranger. They are about to learn I am the storm they built with their own hands, and this time, I am not leaving until every debt is paid in full.

Riven Kaelen spent three years as the despised live-in son-in-law of the powerful Mercer family. To help his wife, Sloane Mercer, build her business empire, he sacrificed everything—his inheritance, his dreams, and his dignity. While Sloane rose to become the celebrated CEO of Vespera Corp, Riven became nothing more than a joke in the eyes of her family. Mocked by his in-laws, humiliated by strangers, and forced to work as a delivery rider just to pay his mother's medical bills, Riven endured it all in silence. But when his mother falls critically ill and requires a million-dollar surgery, Riven turns to the one person he once trusted—his wife. Instead of helping him, Sloane presents him with divorce papers and a cruel ultimatum. Sign away his remaining shares in her company or watch his mother die. To complete her betrayal, she transfers ownership of a bankrupt company called Veridian Global to him, believing she has finally rid herself of her worthless husband. What she doesn't know is that Veridian Global is far from bankrupt. Hidden beneath years of neglect lies a business empire worth billions. Overnight, the son-in-law everyone looked down on becomes one of the wealthiest men in the country. Now, the Mercer family wants forgiveness. His ex-wife wants him back. His enemies want mercy. But after years of humiliation, Riven has only one answer: They should have treated the son-in-law better when they had the chance.

For three years, Ethan Cole was a ghost in his own marriage. ​He was the "pity project" of the Bennett family—a penniless man Sophia married to satisfy a debt of conscience. He spent those years enduring the sting of public insults, the cold silence of his wife’s bed, and the crushing weight of being called a "useless parasite" by the city's elite. ​On their third anniversary, the humiliation reached its peak. Sophia didn’t give him a gift; she gave him divorce papers—and she did it in a ballroom filled with the very people who laughed at his shoes. She chose Ryan Parker, a man with a heavy wallet and a hollow soul. ​But Sophia made one fatal mistake. ​She never asked where Ethan came from before the day she found him broken on the street. ​Ethan Cole isn’t a failure. He is a weapon forged by the most powerful dynasty the world has never seen. He is the hidden heir to the Cole Empire, and for three years, he was simply waiting for the betrayal that would allow him to stop playing human. ​Now, the black card is out. The convoy is waiting. ​As the Bennett family’s world begins to crumble and Ryan Parker’s empire turns to ash, the city realizes too late that they didn't just mock a poor man—they humiliated a King. ​Ethan is back for blood, wealth, and the kind of revenge that leaves no survivors. But as he climbs back onto his throne, he must decide: will he reclaim his humanity, or will he become the monster everyone always accused him of being? ​The world is kneeling. Sophia is breaking. And Ethan? Ethan is just getting started.

After two years in prison, Donald Smith returns to a world that cast him aside — and to the woman who betrayed him for a richer man. She, her lover, and everyone around her mocks him only to realize too late the real identity of the man she threw away...

Adventure of SSS Rank Idiots In the continent of Aztral, strength rules over thirty cities and dynasties. Rank determines everything, and the Bond Skill is widely considered useless. It only supports allies and leaves the user weak. Most who possess it never rise above average. Miko is the exception. Known as Demon Card, he is an SSS-rank adventurer, the highest tier in existence. Through vast mana and complete mastery of the Bond Skill, he does what others believe impossible: he takes the powers of those he trusts and makes them his own. In return, his four companions grow far beyond natural limits. Together they form a party the world is not prepared for. They do not live among the cities. They made the abandoned Demon Continent their home, turning the ruins of the old demon capital into a private training ground. Deep underground, they keep a powerful creature sealed as a living dummy, killing and reviving it again and again to test their strength. They do not know the creature is the Demon God himself. While Aztral’s nations scheme and fight over territory, a greater threat begins to move. Beings called Reseters, angels of clean light, appear with the goal of erasing the world and starting over. Even elite adventurers struggle to kill a single one. Miko and his party are not heroes. They are five survivors bound by childhood trauma and an unbreakable link, driven only by the desire to keep growing stronger. When the Reseters force them out of isolation, the continent will learn what happens when the strongest idiots finally stop holding back. Their greatest weapon is the bond that kept them alive. It may also be the thing that destroys them.
