Light Novel

In a gritty urban world where dreams drown faster than the desperate, Jason Hale is a forgotten orphan with no family, no future, and now just 60 days to live. Diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer, his only light is girlfriend Stephanie Scott—the woman he plans to marry before the end. But when he discovers her betrayal with a wealthy rival, despair drives him to leap into an empty hotel pool, clutching his grandfather's mysterious cross necklace. As water fills his lungs, the cross activates: a holographic system screen materializes, binding him to "Fortune's Deadline"—60 days to amass riches or perish. Complete meaningful tasks for wealth and lifespan extensions; fail, and penalties strip away time, memories, and secrets. With clear rules (no exploits, strategic growth only), hidden costs (erased pasts tying to his unknown parents), and escalating rewards (millions and months added), Jason rises from penniless delivery boy to empire-builder. But as fortune flows, betrayers close in, and the system's true source whispers of a larger conspiracy. Will Jason rewrite his fate, reclaim his love, and uncover his orphan origins before the clock hits zero? In this high-stakes progression tale of empowerment and suspense, every decision buys time—or buries it forever.

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.

In the world of Aethelgard, fate is not written in the stars—it is decided by the cards you hold. While the nobles of the Spire are born with legendary Golden Decks filled with dragons, holy magic, and divine relics, the poor are left with broken scraps barely worth surviving with. Kai is nothing more than a nameless mine slave with no Deck, no status, and no future. But when a deadly cave-in uncovers a hidden flaw in the world’s perfect system, his destiny changes forever. Buried beneath the ruins, Kai discovers [The Wildcard]—a corrupted card capable of becoming anything. A god-slaying sword. A forbidden spell. A monstrous beast. Or… a useless wooden spoon. Unstable, unpredictable, and feared by the system itself, the Wildcard turns Kai into a threat to the very order of Aethelgard. Armed with a chaotic deck forged from literal trash, stolen relics, and impossible combinations, Kai enters the brutal climb of the Spire where every duel is a gamble and every defeat means death. To survive, he must outplay nobles, crush legendary card wielders, and uncover the truth behind the Deck system that controls the world. Because in Aethelgard, power belongs to those lucky enough to draw it. But Kai was never lucky. He cheats fate itself. A dark fantasy progression novel packed with ruthless battles, evolving cards, deadly tower climbs, and a zero-to-overpowered journey where the weakest slave may become the greatest wildcard the world has ever seen.
