Left Behind

Nicklaus Henshaw was subjected to humiliation by his wife. He married into a third-class family in the town in hopes of being able to pay for his sick sister's medication. Stella, Nicklaus's wife, changed her attitude towards her husband after realizing that other men could desperately pay millions of dollars for her body. She started treating Nicklaus like dirt, as per their agreement on the hospital bills for Nicklaus's sister. She refused to pay it. After discovering that Stella was having an affair with the head doctor of the hospital where his sister was admitted, he was flabbergasted. Stella wasn't remorseful; she threw a divorce agreement in his face, leaving Nicklaus no choice but to sign it. Nicklaus went back to his family's house, the one he abandoned for years, and he found the only vulnerable property his parents left behind, the family's heirloom. The heirloom was activated the moment Nicklaus touched it, and he was immediately loaded with knowledge. In no time, Nicklaus used his knowledge to gain power and sought revenge.

In the ruthless cultivation world, spiritual roots decide a person’s worth. Born with a "Broken Void Root," Li Chen was destined to be the dirt beneath the boots of geniuses. Beaten, humiliated, and left to bleed out in the mud, his only remaining possession—a fractured jade pendant from his murdered mother shatters. But the jade was not a mere trinket; it was the prison of an ancient god, and Li Chen’s roots are not broken. They are the forbidden Primordial Chaos Root, a vessel so terrifyingly vast that the Heavens themselves cursed it to starvation. Inheriting the forbidden Heavenly Void Devouring Art, Li Chen awakens a terrifying power: he can devour anything. He eats the fiery Qi of his enemies, swallows the toxic miasma of deadly beasts, and consumes the spiritual veins of the earth. From the bloody mud of the Outer Sect to the shining thrones of the Nine Heavens, the boy who was called a piece of trash will become a demon the universe fears. He will uncover the bloody truth behind his clan's extermination, crush the arrogant geniuses of the Holy Lands, and if the Heavens refuse to give him justice… he will devour the Heavens themselves.

Elliot Carter thought he had left Harrison Creek behind for good. The small Appalachian town, steeped in shadows and secrets, was a place of pain—the memory of his mother’s tragic death and Lily Rose’s haunting disappearance lingering for years. It had been 20 years since Lily vanished without a trace, and now, Elliot is drawn back to the place he swore to escape. The call comes: his father, Dr. Robert Carter, is dying. Elliot returns to Harrison Creek, but it’s not just his father who pulls him back. The mystery of Lily’s disappearance has never let him go. As a child, he accepted the town’s story—that Lily was simply forgotten—but now, as an adult, Elliot knows better. The town hides something far darker. Dr. Robert Carter, the town’s respected doctor, has been hiding something. Elliot begins to unravel cryptic clues suggesting his father’s involvement in Lily’s case is deeper—and more sinister—than anyone could have guessed. With the help of Vera Larkin, a childhood friend turned journalist, Elliot uncovers a web of lies and moral corruption. The more he digs, the more the townspeople close ranks, and the more violent the threats become. Elliot soon discovers the unthinkable: Lily’s disappearance wasn’t an accident—it was planned. And the man responsible for silencing her forever was none other than his own father. As the investigation spirals, Elliot must confront a chilling truth: his father’s dark past may cost him everything, including his own soul. Some truths are better left buried. But in Harrison Creek, the truth always finds a way to surface.

My peaceful short life had been quickly cut off by a band of bandits that had raided my village, killing my father and capturing my mother. The bandit leader took a fancy to me and decided to make me one of them because of my face, for reasons unknown to me, but this was only the start of my journey. The more I grew up the more I realized that I had no talent, I was as ordinary as I could be, with no inherited memories, no old masters to help me improve my talent, no legacies left behind, no locked bloodlines that would burst into activity when I was in danger. But I still had something that most people didn't have. A stubbornness that many wouldn't possess, the stubbornness and sense of danger that I got for life after I saw my father die in front of me. And with that, I shall predate upon those that are more talented than me. I shall walk forward and reach the apex of the world, not because I want to protect anyone, but because that's simply what I want to do! Regardless of the methods that I have to use or the people that I have to push out of my way!

In a quiet coastal town, a man named Adrian lived a modest life as a fisherman, keeping to himself and never speaking of his past. Beneath his simple clothes and weathered hands was a hidden truth—he was the heir to a vast fortune and a powerful family empire. Years earlier, suffocated by privilege and expectations, Adrian had vanished without a trace, seeking peace in anonymity and freedom in hard, honest work. For years, no one suspected the humble fisherman was once Adrian Locke, the enigmatic billionaire’s son whose disappearance made headlines. But when the town faced a crisis—a powerful developer threatened to destroy the harbor—Adrian could no longer stay silent. He stepped forward, revealing his identity and calling in resources that stunned the community. With calculated precision and a quiet authority, Adrian used his connections and wealth to fight back, preserving the town and exposing the corruption behind the deal. His return to power wasn’t about reclaiming status, but using his background for something meaningful. In doing so, he found a purpose far greater than running—he found a way to merge the man he had become with the legacy he had left behind.

"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?
