Light Novel

After four years of marriage, Maureen Winston still viewed her husband, Derek Romano, as nothing more than a worthless substitute, a pathetic replacement for her first and only true love, Nicole Calloway. Despite Derek’s unwavering love, endless devotion, and quiet sacrifices, he could never measure up in her eyes. All his efforts were meaningless the moment Nicole returned. What Maureen didn’t know was that Derek was the invisible force protecting her entire family. No one dared touch her father’s crumbling company because of the fear and respect Derek commanded in the shadows. A few days after Maureen filed for divorce, she discovered she was pregnant with Derek’s child. Nicole’s return was anything but innocent. Armed with charm and calculated generosity, he framed Derek with vicious lies and scandals. Blinded by her lingering feelings for her ex, Maureen chose to believe Nicole over the man who had stood by her through every hardship. But Derek was never ordinary. He was the hidden son of a legendary Supreme Warrior. When deadly enemies rose against his father, Derek was forced into hiding and stripped of his identity. Now, with Nicole’s true sinister motives beginning to surface, Derek decides it’s time to stop hiding. As his supreme power awakens and his real identity is revealed, shocking truths come to light, including the fact that Maureen’s own father was behind the death of Derek’s mother. What happens when Maureen and her family finally discover that the man they looked down on, humiliated, and tried to cast away was actually a supreme existence far beyond their imagination? Will Maureen regret her choices, or is it already too late?

Kenan wanted to escape his past. Kate wanted a future she could control. On their wedding day, both are ripped away. Exposed by betrayal before their vows are sealed, their marriage fractures in front of everyone they know. Before accusations can be answered, before forgiveness or fury can settle—explosions tear through the church, and the world ends. They awaken in a cursed forest world called Horta. The trees have faces. The ground bleeds corruption. And a cold, impartial System informs them of a simple truth: They are the last heroes. Every other world has failed. Every other chosen has died. Their faces now grow in the bark of the forest that devoured them. Kenan and Kate are given a single clearing and a dying pylon. A fragile foothold in a world already lost. Cultivate it. Defend it. Expand it. Or humanity disappears with them. Waves of monsters crash against their shrinking sanctuary. Each victory buys them meters of safety. Each failure tightens the forest’s grip. What begins as a blood-soaked clearing must become a refuge. What becomes a refuge must grow into something capable of sustaining the last survivors of Earth. But survival demands more than strength. Kenan hides a violent truth from the life he tried to abandon. Kate refuses to trust the man who betrayed her. They must fight side by side while their marriage rots between them. Base by base. Wave by wave. Meter by meter. They will carve light out of corruption. They will turn wilderness into a stronghold. They will cultivate a dead world into humanity’s final hope. If they don’t destroy each other first. A dark system-apocalypse story blending base building, relentless base defense, psychological survival, and a fractured romance forced to endure the end of everything.

As a poor orphan, Lucas had endured nothing but scorn, humiliation, and contempt his entire life. For years, he believed that was all life was about—until he met Ariadne Brook. She became the light in his dark world, the kindness to the world's wickedness, his warmth in a cold world, and the love to the world's hatred. She was everything the world couldn't be. But the same couldn’t be said for her family. They were just like the rest of the world. Living with the Brooks, he was treated as nothing more than a servant—unpaid, ridiculed, and humiliated. Still, for Ariadne, he endured it all. Yet, every man has his breaking point. One day, Lucas reached his. And he left. For six years, he disappeared without a trace. It was almost as if he had vanished from the face of the earth. Ariadne waited until she couldn’t wait any longer. She was about to marry another. But then, Lucas returned. And this time, he was different. He was no longer the timid young boy she knew. Confidence radiated from him, as if he now sat at the top of the world. Lucas has sworn never to let Ariadne cry or suffer again. For she was his woman, the very reason he was still alive. The only reason he pushed through all he faced during those six years he vanished. She was there for him when the whole world was against him, and now he would be there for her! He would cherish and protect her. Even if it meant going against the whole world, for her, he’d gladly do it. If the world couldn't have angels, then for her, he would become the devil!

To save his family, he had to stop being human. Twenty-four-year-old Jid has spent his life in the dirt, breathing the rust of the Bulwark slums. As the sole guardian of his younger sister, Sommy, his world is measured in scraps of bread and the hours of backbreaking labor he sells to the powerful guilds. He doesn’t dream of glory; he dreams of a roof that doesn't leak and a meal that doesn't taste like ash. But the world outside the walls is changing. The "Infected" are evolving, and the shadows are growing teeth. When a high-stakes raid into the forbidden zones turns into a bloody execution, Jid is the one left behind. Betrayed and gutted by the monsters in the dark, he should have died in the mud. Instead, something ancient and hungry found him first. Jid wakes up to a world he no longer recognizes. The pain is gone, replaced by a cold, mechanical pulse in his mind and a shimmering gold light in his eyes. A strange, haunting interface now dictates his every move, granting him powers that defy the laws of time and biology—powers that the ruling corporations would kill to own. But the "System" isn't a gift. It’s a tether to an outer-world threat that views humanity as nothing more than ink on a page, ready to be erased. Now, Jid must return to the city that abandoned him, hiding the monster he is becoming while using his new abilities to protect the only person he has left. He survived the death of his old life, but as the hunger grows and the "System" begins to rewrite his soul, Jid realizes the hardest part isn't surviving the dead—it’s surviving the thing he’s turning into. And whatever is coming for him.

Johnny Lance was once an ordinary man with an extraordinary sense of responsibility. Growing up in the suburbs of New Veritas, he became the protector and provider for his younger sister, Claire, after their parents’ tragic death. Despite the hardships, Johnny built a modest life with his wife, Elena, and their young daughter, Lily. His dreams were simple: to give his family a better future. But the cracks in his life began to show when he risked everything to start a business with his charismatic best friend, Marcus Blackwood. What began as a partnership built on trust and ambition turned into betrayal. Marcus and Elena’s affair destroyed Johnny’s marriage, and Marcus’s ruthless business tactics forced Johnny out of his own company. Left with nothing—no family, no fortune, and no purpose—Johnny spiraled into despair. He moved into a dingy apartment on the outskirts of New Veritas, drowning in bitterness and regret. His longing to be reunited with his daughter, Lily, was the only light in his dark world. One night, in a drunken and reckless state, Johnny attempted to drive to see Lily, but a devastating car accident left him bleeding out on the brink of death. In his final moments, a mysterious message appeared in his mind: *"The Seven Deadly Sins System of Wealth has chosen you. Do you accept?"* Desperate for any semblance of hope or power, Johnny accepted. The system granted him his first ability: **Greed**, the power to see and manipulate opportunities for personal gain. With this newfound ability, Johnny rose from the ashes of his former life, using the system’s powers to amass unimaginable wealth and influence. His first act of “Greed” involved manipulating a failing stock, turning himself into a millionaire overnight.

"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.

In his last life, the temperature plummeted to minus two hundred degrees Celsius, unleashing a merciless snowpocalypse. Civilization collapsed in a single night. Food became more precious than gold. A single spark of warmth was worth more than a human life. Zane had prepared with everything he had — scavenging ruins, fortifying a shelter, and hoarding supplies to outlast the endless winter. Yet in the end, he died like a fool. The woman he worshipped as a goddess, his own fiancée, betrayed him. The family that took him in only to steal his inheritance turned on him at the first sign of weakness. Even the neighbors he once helped without hesitation joined the frenzy, stripping him of everything and leaving him to freeze alone in the dark. As numbness claimed his body, regret burned hotter than any fire. If only he had listened to that soft, persistent warning voice. If only he had shown kindness to the one person who truly cared. If only he had severed ties with those parasites the moment he learned the truth… Perhaps moved by his dying fury, Hades granted him a second chance. Now, Zane is back — twenty days before the ice age begins. This time, he won’t be kind. He won’t be naive. He will hoard every resource, fortify his shelter into an unbreakable fortress, and turn survival into his empire. He will become the one the cold cannot kill. And when the world freezes again… He will watch his betrayers kneel and beg in the snow. PS: Grab your coat… the ice age is closer than you think. NB: This novel has multiple arcs, free chapters, dark fantasy and contains heavy sci-fi in the first arc. It's my first book on this genre, I hope you love it.
