"You’re nothing but a cheap mercenary. I wish you had died in the trenches!" That divorce forced him out of hiding. Now, he will take his revenge to the bitter root and build an unmatched military dynasty.

Once a famous geneticist in his previous life, Ken is now a ghost in the submerged maze beneath Amsterdam, leading a handful of outcast scientists who are themselves experts. Their bodies have been irreversibly rewritten, holding a feared secret: the cure for immunity.

The same people who put him away as a criminal now scour the underwater canals, praying to catch his work.

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.

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.

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!

What would you do to clear a debt you could never repay? Isaac Rhoades is at rock bottom. After taking a massive illegal loan to pay for his sister’s surgery—only for her to die anyway—he’s hunted by brutal loan sharks, fired from his warehouse job, and left homeless. Just as he's about to end it all, a strange voice echoes in his mind: “System Activation: Mission Credit Redemption Protocol Initiated.” The Debtbound System offers him a way out—but every cleared dollar requires a mission. Deliver cursed packages. Eliminate dangerous criminals. Expose corrupt politicians. Some missions save lives. Others destroy them. Every success earns him powers and a chunk off his debt. Every failure comes at a horrifying cost. As Isaac navigates this deadly path, he discovers he's not the only one bound by the system—and some users will do anything to break free. What started as a fight for survival becomes a war for redemption, power, and the truth behind the system’s origin. To win his freedom, Isaac must conquer the missions. But to keep his soul… he must conquer himself.
