Is This Really A Game?!

"If you've any conscience left in you, you'll understand that you deserve this." The prison doors closed behind him with those final words. Ethan Carvendish was the true heir of the Carvendish family, yet his existence was treated as nothing more than a stain that needed to be erased. "You're nothing but a criminal!" His father discarded him without hesitation. "I regret giving birth to you. I wish Charlie was my biological son!" His mother chose an adopted son over her own flesh and blood. "Charlie is my only brother, not a disgusting parasite like you." His sister looked at him with nothing but disgust. "It's just three years in prison. Charlie is delicate, unlike you." The woman he loved stood beside his adopted brother, forged evidence, framed him, and watched silently as he was condemned for a crime he never committed. For three years, he rotted in prison for someone's crime, while they celebrated his fall. The prison did not break him, it awakened him. Now Ethan has returned, not as the discarded heir… But as the Shadow Tyrant. A name whispered in fear. A power no one can control. A ruler the elite world cannot defy. "Son… We were wrong." The parents who abandoned him now kneel before him. "Ethan, sister regrets everything… please come back…" The sister who once saw him as nothing but a disgrace now begging for his attention. "Ethan… please give me another chance…" The woman who once sent him to prison crawls to his feet. But the Ethan Carvendish they betrayed died behind those prison walls, the one who returned is coldhearted. As the world trembles before the Shadow Tyrant, only one question remains. Will Ethan Carvendish reclaim everything that was stolen from him… or will shadow tyrant destroy them all without mercy?

In Backgated City, the undocumented don’t exist, until they become useful. Thrown into the streets as a child with no birth record, no family, and no protection, Kairo Vale survives by listening more than he speaks and learning faster than the city expects. Crime syndicates, corrupt officials, and underground networks all circle him, each seeing something different: a pawn, a weapon, a mistake.

Once, he believed Forex trading would save his family. Instead, it destroyed him. Plagued by constant losses and sleepless nights, he watched his savings vanish trade after trade, until the final blow came in the form of a phone call that shattered his world. His young daughter had been rushed to the hospital. The doctor’ s verdict was merciless—without an immediate and expensive surgery, she would not survive. With nothing left but desperation, he ran home to tell his wife, hoping they would face the storm together. Instead, he was greeted with divorce papers. Blinded by greed and seduced by a rich and powerful man, she chose wealth over family, even as their child lay on the edge of death. Broken and forced to sign the divorce, he stumbled out of the house, his life reduced to nothing. Fate nearly claimed him moments later when a speeding car almost ended it all. But instead of death, something unimaginable awakened within him. A Forex Trading System. A voice in his mind. A guide beyond human logic. With the last money he possessed, he placed one final trade—then another. Against all odds, the market obeyed. Profits surged. Losses vanished. In a matter of days, the man who had lost everything rose from ruin to wealth. He rushed back to the hospital, paid for his daughter’s surgery in full, and saved her life. But that was only the beginning. Under the system’s guidance, he conquered the financial world, rising from a broken trader to a billionaire feared and respected across global markets. And when success finally crowned him, the woman who once abandoned him returned—begging for forgiveness. Will he accept her back? Or will he move on with his life and find someone better?

Tom Burro was born with one eye clouded gray, the mark that cursed his life. His father called it an omen. His stepmother called him a monster. His only friend was Snowly, a mysterious white dog that seemed to understand everything he said. When Tom’s mother died under strange circumstances, he was abandoned and left to rot in a crumbling orphanage. His half-brother, Gabby Miles Burro, inherited everything, wealth, reputation, and the Burro name, and used it to make Tom’s life a private hell. But on the night Gabby nearly beat him to death, something awoke inside the “bad eye.” The world slowed. The air shimmered.

And Snowly, his loyal companion, might not be a dog at all

Humans had always been a threat to the celestials. The potential a single human possesses is one that the celestials feared because there was a chance one of them could evolve beyond what they could handle, hence, they brought down the green rain catastrophe. With the intention of wiping out the entire humanity, the seven celestials of Realm X halted the ability for humans and their planet to produce new life, thereby diminishing their population through starvation, and worse, transforming some of the unfortunate into human hunters known as: infected. Erwin was faced with an infected that drove him to the brink of death, before he could meet his end... He unlocked his potential, and a potential the gods feared. He unlocked the dimensional system.

In a world where your beast defines your bloodline, Leon is the academy’s punchline. While the elite flaunt obsidian dragons and celestial tigers, Leon is shackled to a "feeble" Xenomorph Queen—a low-rank insect that everyone assumes is good for nothing but digging dirt. But they are wrong. Dead wrong. Hidden beneath Leon’s calculated silence is the [Ancient Hive System], a relic of a lost era. It doesn’t just tame; it evolves. By feeding his Queen the marrow of prehistoric fossils and the genes of forgotten predators, Leon transforms a "paltry bug" into a biomechanical nightmare. Armed with the reinforced plating of a Triceratops and the lethal precision of an apex killer, his swarm is growing. While the "geniuses" mock his failing grades, Leon is building an empire in the shadows—a loyal, hive-minded legion that feels no pain, knows no fear, and answers only to him. The elite think they are the hunters. They haven't realized yet that in Leon’s world, they are nothing more than biological raw material for the next evolution. The Hive is hungry. And Leon has just given the order to feed.

The Grey Plague ended the world in a single night, mutating 40% of humanity into vicious creatures driven by bloodthirsty hunger. The 60% survivors evolved into two groups: the Awakened, who adapted to the Plague's deadly miasma, and the Unawakened, who lived one breath away from being infected. Everyone belonged to a category. Everyone except Cole Asher, a former soldier. Cole survived the apocalypse only to discover that the government's identification system couldn't classify him. He wasn’t a Grey mutant. Not an Awakened or Unawakened either. And when rumors began to spread that Cole’s blood could cure the Grey’s infection, the most powerful factions in the new world fixed their sights on him. The government wanted control over him, guilds planned to dissect and harvest him and others believed he was humanity's last hope. Now, hunted across a wasteland crawling with monsters, Cole must uncover the truth behind his immunity before those in power destroy him first.

The apocalypse didn't come with an instruction manual. Good thing Riccardo downloaded the ultimate cheat code. ​Riccardo Gonzales was just a regular college student stressing over a midterm. But when he wakes up to find the streets of Manila burning, mutated horrors tearing through the sky, and his neighbor trying to eat him, his poli-sci degree is officially useless. Trapped on the fourteenth floor, he has only one goal: cross a city of the undead to save his fifteen-year-old sister. ​Then his phone buzzes with an ad for a zombie survival game. One mistaken click changes his reality forever. ​Bound to the Military Survival System, Riccardo is no longer a defenseless civilian. He can track stats, earn gold from kills, and summon an elite squad of heavily armed, fiercely loyal soldiers directly into his living room. When a lucky spin on the daily Fortune Wheel drops a five-million gold jackpot into his lap, Riccardo stops running and starts buying. ​The undead might have the numbers, but Riccardo has the firepower. And he’s about to turn this apocalypse into a tactical warzone.
