Modern

All Ming Ho wanted was to hit submit on his scholarship application and finally get some sleep. He got the sleep. Just not the way he expected. When he wakes up, the modern world is gone. He's now Lucian Everstar, the sixth prince of the Valerian Empire, a realm where power is everything and weakness is a death sentence. His body is frail. His family wants him gone. And when he tries to open his eyes to see his new world, he sees nothing at all. He is completely, irreversibly blind. With only weeks until the Awakening Ordeal that will decide his fate, Lucian is trapped in darkness, surrounded by brothers who would sooner see him dead than share their bloodline. Survival seems impossible. Then the system chimes. [Transmigration perk: Due to the Old Lucian being blind, you have received a Primordial gift. False Sight.] A blind prince with a sight that rivals the gods. Now Lucian must navigate a world of monsters, politics, and assassins—all while hiding the fact that he can see more than anyone in the empire.

In the heart of New Verona City — a decaying metropolis built on drugs, debt, and deceit — Luca Marino, a streetwise orphan with a sharp mind and a sharper temper, dreams of escaping the slums. But when his brother is murdered by the powerful Valente crime family, Luca’s life spirals into the dark underbelly of organized crime. To survive, he enters the same world that killed his brother, starting at the bottom as a debt collector in a gang-ridden neighborhood. Ruthless yet calculating, Luca quickly learns that loyalty is an illusion and mercy is weakness. Guided by Don Emilio Valente, a charismatic but aging mafia lord, Luca becomes both a protégé and a potential threat. As he rises through the ranks — from street hustler to enforcer to mastermind — Luca forges uneasy alliances, manipulates rival families, and builds a syndicate that answers to no one. But every throne made of concrete is drenched in blood. When love, betrayal, and ambition collide, Luca must decide: is he building an empire… or digging his own grave? “Concrete Thrones” is a gritty tale of survival, deception, and the hunger for dominance — a modern mafia epic where every move could mean power, or death.

When a lonely, remote mining colony falls silent, he and the keen-eyed young scout Elaine see what their eyes couldn't believe, a creature filled with bodies, rooted standing where they fell; their bodies welded, flesh to flesh and bone to flesh, with a weeping, black iron that glows with a pale, alien light in their eyes.

No longer entirely human, they have become living dead soldiers fighting a thousand year old war to reconquer a continent, to destroy their long-time enemy, an empire the current modern world has unwittingly reconstructed itself around.
