Legendary Guardian

She left her husband on their wedding night... to spend the night with another man. On the night they were meant to start their life together, Selena Sterling slips out of her honeymoon suite to comfort her sick assistant leaving her new husband with a shattered promise. Everyone thinks Dennis Doom is gentle, fragile, and harmless. Only Alex Crown knows better. For three years, Alex loved her crazily— hiding his true identity, abandoning a life of unimaginable power and giving everything to the woman he loved. But when she chooses another man’s tears over her husband’s heart, something in him finally breaks. She thinks he’s just an ordinary man—one who will always forgive, always wait, always stay. She has no idea the man she's pushing away is the legendary commander who built her empire from the shadows... or that the moment he walks away, everything she owns will begin to crumble. And while Selena struggles to save a marriage she believes is still under control, the helpless assistant she keeps defending is quietly tightening the noose around her life. When the truth finally comes to light, will she still have a husband to fight for? Or will she watch the man she abandoned become the king she can never reach again?

They burned his home. They erased his family. And for ten years, they believed Dante Moretti was dead along with the ashes. He returns with nothing but cheap clothes, a cold stare, and fists trained by the legendary Master Armani—the man who turned him into a weapon. In a city ruled by money and bloodlines, Dante is mocked as a nobody, humiliated as a stray, and treated like dirt by elites who don’t know whose empire they’re standing in. When he saves a powerful heiress from death, she repays him with contempt, believing he’s just another poor man reaching above his place. What she doesn’t know is that he owns the sky above her head and her family’s fate is already tied to his. Forced into a marriage meant to control him, Dante steps into the lion’s den willingly because kings don’t avoid traps. They turn them into thrones. This is not a story about love at first sight. It’s about power reclaimed, enemies crushed, and a man who lets the world laugh… right before it learns to bow. Insults turn into kneeling. Laughter turns into fear. And every man who once looked down on him pays in ruin. They called him a nobody. Now the city will learn his name in a hard way.

For ten brutal years, Kang Min-jae survived the World Integration as a "Cleaner"—a disposable, low-level scavenger forced to dive into monster-infested ruins to secure wealth for humanity's elite Heroes. He had no legendary class, no flashy skills, and no status. He was just a pawn, used and eventually left to die in the dirt by the very tyrants the world worshiped as saviors. But death wasn't the end. Min-jae wakes up in a windowless logistics breakroom, his hands unscarred and his youth restored. The calendar reads August 14—exactly six hours before the sky drops and the apocalypse begins. He hasn't returned empty-handed. Floating in his vision is the Collector’s Vault, a cracked, corrupted interface containing over a thousand god-tier artifacts, rare skill scrolls, and lethal end-game weapons he scraped together in his past life. There is only one catch: the bank account is frozen. Every single item is locked behind a massive Cosmic Energy Debt. To unlock his hoard, Min-jae doesn’t need to level up normally. He needs to audit the future. By hunting down the world's upcoming tyrants, betrayers, and corrupt "Heroes" while they are still ordinary civilians, he can forcefully siphon away their unawakened talents to fuel his vault. The apocalypse isn't a tragedy anymore. For Min-jae, it’s a liquidation sale—and it’s time to collect what he's owed. [Urban Fantasy] [Dark System] [Regressor] [Calculated Protagonist]

"I need you to go to prison for him." Adrian never imagined those words would come from the woman he loved. "My mother's surgery..." "I'll pay every hospital bill," Chloe promised. "I swear." To save his dying mother, Adrian sacrificed everything and spent three years behind bars for another man's crime. When he finally walked free, no one came to meet him. Not his wife. Not even a phone call. Instead, he discovered Chloe had forgotten him, accepted another man's proposal, and abandoned his mother to die in a hospital hallway. "Please... don't throw her out." "Take your dying mother and beg on the streets." But fate had been writing a different ending.

My name is Tobe, and I am just a poor boy from the Mainland slums. In our city, a massive concrete wall separates the poor people from the rich elites who live on the Island. The rich have everything: wealth, high-tech weapons, and powerful magic guilds. We have nothing but dirt and rifts, dangerous tears in reality that let monsters crawl into our streets. To keep my fourteen-year-old sister, Amarachi, safe, I worked myself to the bone. But the Island elites do not care about people like us. They tricked me. They used my family, took our blood, and left us to die so they could unlock a dark, legendary power called the Calamity Core. But I did not die. Instead, I woke up with a blue digital screen floating in front of my eyes. The system gave me a unique power that no other hunter has: Sovereign Necromancy. With every monster I kill, and with every corrupt elite I strike down, I can command their souls to stand up and fight for me. Every shadow I touch becomes my loyal soldier. Now, the rich elites are hunting us down to steal the core inside my sister's chest. But Amarachi is not a helpless child anymore, and I am no longer a weak boy from the slums. With an army of shadows at my back, I am breaking through their walls. I will protect my sister, destroy their corrupt guilds, and make every single billionaire pay for what they did to us.

Dominic Hale was sixteen when Vivienne Ashford destroyed his family. She stole his mother Eleanor’s final masterpiece—a painting called “The Unbroken”—burned the original, and claimed the work as her own, building an art empire on the lie. Eleanor died in the flames trying to save it. Only a torn fragment survived. Ten years later, Dominic returns to Ashford City—no longer the helpless boy who fled, but the legendary Shadow King, the covert operative who single-handedly turned the tide of the Karethwyn War. He carries his mother’s fragment in a battered leather case and a single vow: restore her legacy and burn Vivienne’s world to ash. When he crashes Vivienne’s exclusive art gala—held in the penthouse built atop his mother’s destroyed studio, Dominic doesn’t just seek revenge. He seeks to reclaim everything stolen: his mother’s name, his sister’s freedom, and the truth buried under a decade of lies. But his return collides with Celeste Monroe, the woman he once saved, now trapped in an arranged marriage to Vivienne’s cowardly son Tristan. As old loyalties resurface and enemies close in, Dominic must decide: will he become the monster Vivienne created, or will he prove his mother’s belief—that some things remain unbroken, no matter how the world tries to shatter them?

Gabriel Hale had nothing but clothes on his back and the girl he’d die for. Living on the merciless streets of Chicago, he became the city’s most elusive thief all to save his dying girlfriend, Vera. Every stolen wallet, every dangerous heist and every close call with death was worth it if it meant one day with her. When a shadowy organization offers him ten million dollars to steal the legendary Phoenix Heart artifact from the heavily guarded Siegel family vault, Gabriel knows it is suicide, but for Vera’s life-saving surgery, he would walk through hell itself. He never expected hell to follow him back. Betrayed, broken and left for dead after the ancient artifact fused with his soul, Gabriel awakens three days later to discover the cruelest truth. Vera was never sick. Every sacrifice, every crime and every drop of blood he had shed was all for a lie. Now, with the Phoenix Heart’s power burning through his veins, Gabriel will rise from the ashes of his former life. The streets that once crushed him will kneel. The city that forgot him will remember and the woman that shattered his heart will beg for the love she threw away. He was Gabriel, the nobody. Now, he will become Gabriel the Untouchable. The last heir of a forgotten empire and master of an ancient power that should have stayed buried.

"Who am I?" Waking up in an unfamiliar room with no past memories, an unfamiliar man greets him, claiming to be his new guardian, Ifeus Lero, who then tells him... "Your name is...Topaz Oriole." A world of Magic and Monsters, where those who wield Magic are known as Mages. Every Mage, without exception, falls under one of eleven Classes, each with their own unique forms of Magic; Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light, Dark, Space, Physical, Support, Tamer and Sneak. As for Topaz, his amnesia isn't his only concern. His Class isn't one of the eleven established Classes, something that's completely unheard of. The Wrath Class, a mysterious Class absent in the history books. Advised to keep his abilities hidden for the time being, Topaz avoids using his Magic in front of others. However, Ifeus's secrecy soon becomes a growing point of frustration for Topaz...it's clear that Ifeus knows about his past, but refuses to tell him anything about it, along with hiding the real reason why it's imperative for Topaz to keep his Class hidden. Even as Topaz settles into his life post-amnesia, forming friendships, rivalries and romance, the dark shadow cast by the mysteries of his forgotten past continue to haunt him. With flashes of fragmented memories, and some common sense, Topaz comes to the conclusion that, whatever he went through pre-amnesia, was likely far from pleasant. And unfortunately for him, the dark, broken past he has no memory of isn't the only issue to contend with. An organization bent on world domination makes its presence known, and operating in the shadows, is a dangerous cult determined to resurrect a powerful, malicious entity who nearly destroyed the world centuries ago and was sealed away. And at the center of it all...is the Fractured Mage, Topaz Oriole.

Elias Pratama loses everything in a single day. Framed for a crime he never committed, stripped of his inheritance, and abandoned by the woman he loves, he reaches the lowest point of his life. When all hope is gone, he encounters The Keeper, a mysterious celestial guardian who entrusts him with The Book of Debts—a divine ledger that records every moral debt humanity has accumulated. Chosen as the world's first Divine Auditor, Elias gains the ability to perceive the hidden "debt stains" carried by corrupt individuals. His mission is not to punish, but to restore what was unjustly taken. Every successful audit returns stolen rights to their rightful owners while rewarding Elias with Commission Fees, allowing him to unlock powerful talents such as business intuition, negotiation mastery, and strategic insight. With the Book as his guide, Elias builds a venture capital empire fueled by justice rather than greed. One by one, powerful billionaires, corrupt executives, and influential figures fall as the truth behind their stolen fortunes is exposed. Yet the Book enforces one absolute law: it can restore wealth, reputation, and opportunity—but it can never force love. When Clara, the woman who left him, reappears, Elias discovers she sacrificed their relationship to save her mother from crushing medical debt. He realizes that winning her back depends entirely on the man he becomes, not the power he possesses. As Elias rises, the Book reveals its greatest secret: his own father once committed a devastating moral crime to protect the family, and the suffering Elias endures is part of that unpaid debt. Faced with the truth, Elias must choose between revenge and redemption. To break the cycle of injustice forever, he must repay the sins of the past, proving that true justice is not about destroying enemies, but restoring balance.

Kyle had never had it easy. Orphaned young and bullied by everyone around him, he pushed through each day for one reason only—his little sister. She was critically ill, and the only thing that could save her was the legendary, impossibly expensive 'Moonlight Potion'. His one shot? Becoming a Hunter. With real power, he could finally rise above, earn enough credits, and save the only person who mattered. Everything depended on his eighteenth birthday—the day he would awaken his talent. The day everything was supposed to change. And it did... just not the way he’d hoped. While others awakened fire, shadow, and lightning... Kyle got 'Bubble'. A talent that didn't exist in any known class ranking—from mighty SS to pathetic F. Unrecorded. Unrated. Unwanted. Useless. Weak. Pathetic. That’s what they called him. No guild would take him. No party would have him. But Kyle? He just smiled. Because they didn’t understand. Not yet. 'It’s not about the talent you get. It’s about what you do with it.' Let them mock him. Let them call him useless. Armed with an unknown power and an unbreakable will, Kyle walked into the dungeon alone. The world might see him as nobody for now, but he would prove that even an unranked talent could rise—and that the underdog everyone cast aside might just become a legend.
