Left Behind

God Vanished. Twenty-five years ago, the world changed. Gates appeared across the Earth. Monsters poured through them, and humanity awakened powers it never knew existed. Xavier Reed was one of the unlucky ones. Born with strange crimson eyes and abandoned as a child, he grew up believing weakness was simply his fate. With no talent or power, he became an E-Rank dungeon porter, the disposable man hunters left behind. Until one dungeon changed everything. Abandoned to die by the very people he trusted, Xavier watched the portal close before him as a monster tore through his body. He should have died. Instead, something awakened. [Host Located.] [Welcome back, Xavier Reed.] A mysterious System has chosen him. But this is no ordinary System. It doesn't simply hand out quests or demand that he become stronger. It watches. It judges. It remembers something that Xavier doesn't know. Something that may have not happened yet. As Xavier climbs from the bottom, he begins to uncover secrets hidden behind the Gates. Something is wrong with the world. Why has Heaven fallen silent? Why is the Underworld moving? And why was Xavier chosen? The answers may be connected to a truth far more terrifying than the monsters beyond the Gates. Humanity may have already lost this war. And that is why he was chosen, to change that outcome.

His wife betrayed and divorced him. Her family humiliated him. With his marriage destroyed and his money gone, Lucas Bennett was left with nothing but a suitcase and $80. Then a speeding truck hit him. When Lucas woke up a week later, his life changed forever. A mysterious Billionaire System appeared before him, revealing a secret that could turn his life upside down. The value of money had changed for him alone. His $80 still held its original purchasing power. To everyone else, the world remained the same. But Lucas had been given an advantage nobody else knew about. Complete missions. Spend money. Claim extraordinary rewards. Build an empire. His first reward? A magnificent mansion that even the richest people had failed to buy. Luxury cars, rare treasures, expensive clothes, and unimaginable wealth were only the beginning. With every mission, Lucas would rise higher, leaving behind the man everyone once looked down on. But what happens when the people who betrayed him discover that the man they threw away has become someone they can no longer reach? They laughed when he had nothing. They will regret it when he has everything. Lucas Bennett is ready to build an empire that will shake the world.

Raeshan was an ordinary college student who wanted nothing more than a quiet life. One day, he woke up inside a rundown shop in Dungeon Town, a place surrounded by dangerous dungeons and desperate adventurers. He had no strength, no magic, and no way to survive in this cruel world. The body he possessed belonged to a failed shop owner buried in debt, with nothing left to sell. Hunger became a daily problem, and tomorrow was never guaranteed. Just when he was about to give up, a system appeared. Not a warrior system. Not a cultivation system. A Manga Store Owner System. In this world, manga is more than entertainment. Those who read it might gain insight, learn skills, or experience sudden breakthroughs. Adventurers who can’t survive the dungeons come searching for answers between pages. While others fight monsters, Raeshan builds his future behind a counter, selling stories that quietly change lives. This is a story about survival, patience, and growth in a dangerous fantasy world, where knowledge can be just as powerful as steel. --- Name: Manga Store Owner System Tag: Action, Adventure, Beautiful Female Character, Store Owner, System, Fantasy, Manga, Slice of life, Magic, Kingdom, Noble, Dragon, Elf, Demon, Rich, Secret Organisation, Adventure Guild, Male lead, Handsome Lead.

Marcus Griffin was nothing but a joke at Elite-Star University. A poor scholarship student forced to scrub floors, run errands, and bow his head to billionaire heirs, campus royalty, and the daughter of a feared professor. He endured every insult for one reason—survival. Even the girl he loved treated him like a stepping stone to something better. Then, in a single day, everything was taken from him. Public betrayal. Public humiliation. His girlfriend accepted another man’s proposal in front of the entire class. His scholarship was revoked. His expulsion announced. His life erased. But as Marcus ran with nothing left to lose, the truth found him. He was never poor. He was never weak. He was the sole heir to the Griffin Empire—a hidden power controlling unimaginable wealth, corporations, and global influence. With one phone call, fortunes shifted. With one card, rules were rewritten. Marcus returned to campus quietly… patiently. Let them mock him again. Let them underestimate him. Behind the scenes, he dismantled empires, exposed corruption, ruined billionaires, and turned enemies into kneeling wrecks. From boardrooms to car shows, from classrooms to global markets, his revenge was precise, merciless, and absolute. They laughed at a pauper. They created a ruler.

Jack thought hitting rock bottom was the worst thing that could happen—until he struck gold. Fired. Betrayed. Humiliated. Jack’s life collapses in a single day. The love of his life laughs behind his back, his friend at the office stabs him in his back, his aunts finally show their true colors after his dad died, and the world seems determined to spit on his face. Then, while drowning his sorrows in a dingy bar, a wrinkled lottery ticket in his jacket pocket turns out to be worth $2 million dollars. Overnight, Jack goes from a broken man to the most eligible bachelor in the city. He lives the life of a king. However, wealth does strange things to a wounded heart. Now, he isn’t chasing Samantha’s love or his wicked, greedy, purse-loving aunts. He’s inviting them to witness what they gave up. With each dollar spent, each luxury acquired, Jack isn’t trying to move on—he’s trying to rewrite history. But money can't heal betrayal. It only puts a spotlight on it. And Jack’s not sure whether he won the lottery… or if the lottery just unlocked a part of him best left buried.

I died watching monsters tear my brothers apart. When I opened my eyes again, I was back in the past, exactly seven days before the apocalypse. A blue screen appeared before me, welcoming me to the Survival System. It gave me missions to collect food, water, and building materials, along with blueprints for a shelter. At first, I thought it was a second chance to save my brothers, Luggard and Donald. But something was wrong. The system lied about rewards, and whenever danger approached, it tried to force my shelter doors open. It wasn't designed to help humanity survive. It was a trap left behind by the very creatures that destroyed our world. Unfortunately, I couldn't afford to abandon it. I needed its blueprints and inventory space, so I decided to play along while secretly working against it. This time, I'll gather my brothers, take the supplies we need from the wealthy groups hoarding everything, and build a bunker deep enough to withstand the coming nightmare. The system may think it owns me, but it has no idea what I'm capable of. I have seven days to prepare, and when the apocalypse begins, I'll make sure my brothers and I are the ones who survive.
