Left Behind

Riker Vale walked out of prison with a paper bag, a broken record, and one name on his mind — Iris. Seven years behind bars. Seven years his daughter grew up without him. Now the world he left behind has moved on — a new man in his house, a court date on the calendar, and every legitimate door already closed before he can knock. Riker has no money. No plan. No training. Just fists that have kept him alive since he was fifteen, and a hunger that seven years of concrete walls couldn't kill. When Damon Creed — Platinum-ranked Iron Captain of the Iron Vow — watches Riker dismantle three men in a back alley and walks out of the shadows to make an offer, Riker doesn't say yes because he wants power. He says yes because Iris deserves a father worth having. The Underworld Circuit is a hidden combat hierarchy running beneath the surface of modern life — ranked fighters, warring factions, brutal tournaments, and stakes that make prison look like a rest stop. Riker enters at the very bottom: unranked, untrained, and already a target. Every rank he climbs brings him closer to Iris — and deeper into a world that could take him away from her forever. VALE is the story of a man who has already lost everything once, fighting like he has nothing left to lose — because this time, he does.

I left everything behind, when my father had wanted me to become the head of the dynasty. Every man would have wanted such power given to him to control the world. But, I wanted something different, something peaceful. Away from all noise, distractions and the place where I called home. I didn't just leave, I left with the woman after my heart. I really loved her and would marry her. None of this wealth, power, control matters to me, the reason I kept my family profile hidden from her. But, what happens when there was a zombie apocalypse and I had returned home, to take her with me to another city, but then…I caught her cheating, not with anyone else, if the case should be, but with my boss? That's the height of it. Even when I tried to confront her, she was not remorseful over her shameful actions, and my boss? He simply doesn't care about me, he threatened to fire me if I dared him. They mocked, ridiculed me and even left me with a zombie to kill me off. But, they don't know who I am!

For Shaden, his life had already crumbled the moment his father was sentenced to life in prison.

And that book of his was the key to everything. Can Shaden survive the ruin and save the world? Or will he perish along with it?

He said yes before he even knew the question. Desmond Hale had one night to save his daughter and nothing left to sell. A stranger’s voice offered him a quarter million dollars, no questions asked. He took the deal. By morning he’s in handcuffs for a murder he didn’t commit, betrayed by the woman he trusted most. Then the cuffs come off. No trial. No explanation. Just an old man who tells him his real father left behind a fortune worth billions, and Desmond is the last heir standing to claim it. But claiming a crown means claiming enemies, and the one woman he can’t stop thinking about is about to marry a stranger to save her family, unaware she already belongs to him. Six years ago. One courthouse. A marriage no one ever undid. He walked in wearing handcuffs. He’s walking out wearing a name powerful enough to burn it all down.

His family cast him out of the city gates because, as the head of the city, his father couldn't bear the shame that one of his sons hadn't developed an A-tier talent. He was forced to survive by collecting scraps in the mines, which made him sick. When it became critical, he collapsed, coughing blood that splattered on a jade pendant on his neck. The pendant, left behind by his late mother, was activated, and with it came great power. Now Lior Croft is back in the city which once shut him out, not as a beggar, but as the storm they never saw coming.

Now Ethan is walking away with his mother's ashes, a world-shaking secret, and nothing left to lose. And by the time they realize who they betrayed, it's already too late.

Kai Osei was scanning groceries when the world glitched. One second his coworker Renata was smiling at him; the next, her face split into gray static and fell apart like broken glass. Reality is corrupting — buildings, streets, people, all dissolving into "Static," a virus in the code of the world itself. And somehow, Kai is the only one who can see the system behind it: a pale blue panel offering him the one thing nobody else has. The ability to patch it. But Kai isn't the only Admin left standing. Somewhere out there, others have found the same power — and some of them don't want to save the world. They want to own what's left of it. Every zone Kai patches, every survivor he saves, puts a target on his back. He has one shot to stop the Static before it swallows everything he knows. If he fails, there won't be a second update.
