Luck Is A Charm

He, who was a great man and did right by everyone, have become nothing more than a washed-up nobody! “What happened!? Where did it all go wrong!?” he’d frequently ask himself, but arrived at the same conclusion, no matter how often he desperately sought a definite answer. He didn’t know! What he did know was that, right now, he was as broke as fu*k! Being the penniless man that he was, as he listlessly gazed into the sky, he contemplated what he could do to get out of his current situation. Even if not for himself, for the five children that were dependent on him. He needed money. He needed money to at least feed those who had the unfortunate luck of following him to his lowest point, even when knowing that his doom was set in stone. That's when he remembered something that was mentioned in the news earlier that day, “Genesis”, a VRMMORPG which created huge waves across the globe, whose story shifted and developed as the players affected the world itself. While that’s great and all, what really got his mind churning was how lucrative that game was and continued to be, as well as the possibilities it could provide him to help claw his way back up from his current circumstances. He, who only ever played games off his PC, decided to jump into the new world of magic and opportunity. But what he didn’t know was that the game would soon descend to reality!! *** Daily one-chapter update~ The cover image doesn't belong to me, leave a message if you want it removed.

Blurb Humble and wild power is inherited. Survival is earned. Love? That’s just collateral damage. In a world where dominance is defined by bloodlines and digital warfare, four criminal empires reign supreme—each ruthless, unchallenged, and bound by a single code: protect the legacy at all costs. From the frozen alleys of St. Petersburg to the scorched sands of the Nevada Desert, from the opulent vineyards of Tuscany to the blood-soaked hills of Sinaloa, four underworld kings stand on the brink of war. Mikhail Volkov—the Russian ghost who commands an empire built on intelligence and silence. Antonio Moretti—the Italian strategist whose charm masks a heart of steel. Carlos Hernandez—the cartel lord with a code of fire and loyalty. Jack Sullivan—the American tactician who turns chaos into profit. Each has a daughter—brilliant, defiant, and bred for battle in a world that sees them as bargaining chips. Forced into strategic marriages meant to secure alliances, these women become more than pawns—they become the spark that threatens to ignite a global mafia war. As secrets unravel, alliances fracture, and hidden enemies rise, these kings will face their greatest threats—not from rivals, but from within their own blood. Can an empire built on control withstand daughters raised to be wild? 200000 words. 167 chapters of raw emotion, deadly twists, forbidden romance, and high-stakes betrayal await in Humble and Wild. In the shadows of power, even the humblest heart can change the world—or burn it down.

Once, Ethan Ashford gave everything for the woman he loved. In return, she betrayed him. Veronica Harrington secretly gave the resources she took from Ethan to her lover, Damien Blackwood, the so-called Chosen One, the Protagonist, the Child of Luck, or whatever else. While Damien and other protagonists took countless "fortuitous encounters" to become the world's heroes, Ethan became the villain everyone despised. Betrayed and tortured, his family was destroyed, his bloodline exterminated, and he died filled with hatred and regret. But fate wasn't finished with him. Ethan awakened a hundred years in the past, before every tragedy began. And that too with a heaven-defying System, called the Villain System, that could give him rewards for changing his own destiny and destroying these protagonists' fortunes. This time, Ethan knew every opportunity the Chosen Ones would obtain, every scheme hidden in the shadows, and every betrayal waiting for him. Did the Divine Healer descend from the mountains? "I'll steal his inheritance." Is the King of Soldiers returning to reclaim his glory? "I'll crush him before he even rises." The destined Son of Fortune? The Heavenly Genius? The Peerless Sword Saint? I'll take every one of their opportunities and leave them with nothing. "As for the heroines who once stood beside those protagonists... If they deserve redemption, they'll stand by my side instead. If they choose my enemies, they'll share their fate." In this life, Ethan would no longer be the stepping stone beneath the protagonists' feet. He would become the nightmare that hunts every Chosen One. After all... "Who says villains are destined to lose?"

“You aren't destined to be rich. Stay poor, wear rags, and find women of your own caliber.” Those were the parting words of Jayden's girlfriend when she dumped him for a wealthy man. He had always noticed her shifting behavior, her expensive new outfits, and her sudden obsession with appearance—but what could a nobody like him do? He was just an ordinary worker grinding day and night at a local bakery. He had literally gone hungry just to please her, only to be cast aside like trash. Devastated and broken, Jayden returned to his empty room. Then, his phone buzzed. A single message changed everything. A bank credit with nine zeros. Before he could even process the impossible sum, a phone call came from a stranger—the Vice President of the world-renowned Apexium Conglomerate. But this wasn't a random stroke of luck; it was deliberate. It was a chilling realization that he was being watched, and that outsiders knew the dark secrets of his past better than he did. The call revealed a shocking truth that turned his ordinary life upside down: he was the sole heir to an untouchable empire. To claim his legacy and survive the corporate leeches waiting to end his life, Jayden must drop his simple existence and split his life into three ruthless identities: A life in the morning as an ordinary baker using his old life to quietly investigate, infiltrate, and gather evidence against his enemies. Life in the afternoon as the powerful, untouchable CEO exuding absolute confidence and authority in the boardroom. A life at night as a brutalized student pushing his body to the absolute limit, training in lethal martial arts under a ruthless master to survive the shadows. The game has changed. They underestimated him. Let's find out how wrong they were.
