Leveling Up

"The sun is down. Your system is mine now." Archer Thomas was never meant to be a saint. He is a broke genius trapped in the decaying slums of Sector 2, working a dead-end job at a car showroom just to afford the illegal synthetic serum keeping his dying mother alive. But when the corrupt Iron Core Council signs her execution order to cover up a high-stakes military data leak, a cold, mechanical entity wakes up inside Archer’s blood—the Sovereign System. The rules of survival are instantly rewritten; by day, he is a restricted, fragile civilian bleeding from a fifty-percent lung penalty, but the moment the sun dips below the Manhattan horizon, he becomes Dallas. Armed with liquid red eyes, an unchained crimson aura, and a rogue federal captain named Nora Barrett by his side, he launches a brutal, calculated audit against the city's rulers, turning military-grade plasma weapons into harmless scrap metal to harvest survival points. However, as the system demands higher stakes and Councilor Gideon’s dark executive air fleet descends to enforce a terminal sector lockdown, Archer uncovers a terrifying truth hidden within the encrypted database: the Council didn't just build the core—they have been waiting for him to activate it. Trapped between a suspicious alliance with a federal precinct and the desperate need to protect his terrified younger brother, Ford, Archer must breach the high-security walls of Sector 1 before his own heart turns to ash.

He knew he died, but he woke up the next day with a magical mysterious book floating in front of him. The words ‘For my brother, Axel’ were written in bold on the cover. What’s more, it was from his brother, Nyx, who died inside the Tower one year ago! What secrets does this book have?!

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.

Fred is a young man trying to survive the crushing weight of poverty and debt. His world is harsh: a slum where the strong exploit the weak, and his only purpose is to protect his sick mother and fragile little sister from a cruel mafia leader who runs a dark brothel empire. A job at a prestigious research lab seems like a miracle, until it becomes something more. On a quiet night shift, Fred stumbles into a sealed-off project and accidentally triggers the activation of the Primordial Evolution System, an experimental fusion of AI, ancient magic, and quantum bio-enhancement. The result? Fred’s body, mind, and soul are rewritten. Strengthened beyond belief. Granted abilities that defy science. Gifted a leveling system no one understands, even the scientist who built it. But with great power comes chaos. Secret factions awaken. A hidden war is brewing. And Fred’s presence sets off a chain reaction that will reshape the city—and the world. This is not just Fred’s story. It’s the story of how a powerless janitor becomes a myth.

And he’s about to turn this apocalypse into a tactical warzone.
