Play-boy

Ten years ago, John Hardwick was the golden boy of the nation. The youngest billionaire in history. The face of every magazine. The pride of the powerful Hardwick dynasty; worth trillions. He was rich, brilliant, devastatingly handsome, and born to inherit an empire. But then… he made one mistake. A scandal so massive it rocked the country. His grandfather; the terrifying patriarch of the Hardwick family, was furious. Disgraced, John vanished overnight. His name was wiped clean from the internet. No news, no photos, no trace. As if he never existed. People said he was dead. Some whispered he ran away. But soon, the world forgot him entirely. What no one knew was that he didn’t disappear… he was exiled. His grandfather didn’t just cut him off—he threw him into the harshest military unit in the world. No mercy. No privileges. Just blood, fire, and war. For ten brutal years, John was forged like steel in the furnace of hell. He rose through the ranks, unstoppable. Fearless. Lethal. Eventually, he earned a title that sent shivers through the enemy ranks: GOD OF WAR. Now, he’s back. Not as a spoiled billionaire—but as a weapon. A king in exile returned. And this time, he’s taking back everything that was his. The name. The throne. The trillion-dollar empire. And anyone who stands in his way… will fall.

He was called Weaveless, the boy without magic… Kael Merren is a walking mistake at Ardentum Academy: a scholarship fluke with no relic, no lineage, and no spark. Bullied and mocked by nobles, he’s the powerless orphan no one expects to last—until a cruel prank leads him to the Forbidden Ruins, where an ancient relic binds to him and awakens a magic not granted by birth, but earned. As a forgotten prophecy stirs and a rising cult seeks to free the Hollow King, a dark sorcerer sealed centuries ago, Kael becomes their target. Feared by those who once scorned him, he must embrace the power he was never meant to have and become what the realm never expected: a warrior forged by will, not blood. Magic didn’t choose him. He claimed it, and with it, he’ll challenge everything.

In a world where the dead refuse to rest, the living fear what lurks beyond the veil. For centuries, humanity believed all spirits(ghosts) were vengeful, mindless entities seeking destruction. But the truth is far more terrifying—some spirits exist to devour, corrupt, and break the boundaries between life and death. Others, bound by fate, offer unimaginable power to those they deem worthy. Arman never wanted to be a hero. Struggling with social anxiety, he preferred to keep his head down, avoid trouble, and live a life that meant nothing to anyone but himself. But everything changed the day he became bound to a force beyond comprehension. Now, with an ancient spirit entwined with his very soul, he’s dragged into a hidden war waged in the shadows—a battle between those who harness the power of the dead and those who twist it into something monstrous. As ancient forces awaken and the boundaries between the worlds fracture, Arman faces an impossible truth: the power within him is both a gift and a curse, one that could consume him if he fails to control it. With enemies lurking in every shadow and unseen forces pulling the strings, he must uncover the origins of his power, the forgotten secrets of the past, and the role he is destined to play in a war that has raged for centuries. Because if he fails—if he breaks—this war won’t just claim his soul. It will unravel reality itself. A journey of power, fate, and the unseen begins… but can a boy who fears even simple conversations truly rise to become the strongest Spiritbound?

In a magical world where heroes wield legendary swords and devastating spells, one boy awakens his destiny… with a half-burnt stick he dug out of a compost heap. Bullied, underestimated, and often mistaken for actual trash, Quincy Dungsworth never spoke a word—until a mysterious accident unlocks a bizarre power inside him. The source? A strange wooden staff marked with an ancient sun sigil, capable of channeling magic in ways no one understands (including him). Now, armed with questionable martial skills, unpredictable magic, and a face that screams “I’m not supposed to be here,” Quincy must rise from zero to hero—facing monsters, rival cultivators, and the occasional murderous chicken—while trying not to set himself on fire.

"Oh shut up, please!" Olivia said dismissively without any hesitation, standing up and folding her arms to her chest. Jason looked shocked, his eyes moved to her, then to the others, who still hadn’t said a word in his defense. "Why have you chosen to be this useless?" she continued in a low growl. "You haven’t worked a single day since we got married. Maybe you just like sitting in that chair, being pitiful, and using it as your excuse for why you're a broke man." Jason’s teeth clenched. He wanted to defend himself, to explain again, but the moment he opened his mouth, Olivia raised a hand. "Don’t say a word, I’m not done. You think you can play the victim forever? My family paid for your therapy, flew you around the world, gave you access to the best doctors, and yet here you are, back with the same damaged spine and still sitting in that chair." She rubbed her forehead. Jason lowered his gaze, disappointed at her reaction but he didn’t talk.

If you had amazing intellect and memory you'd think that you'd be revered and worshipped by many right? Wrong! That was the case for Levi who was born with astronomically insane mental abilities but fate played a cruel game on him by giving him a frail and weak body to house his mind. Thus, in this world of Arcane Energy, brute strength and destructive magical abilities are what is valued thereby making Levi's gift a curse rather than a gift. But a mysterious event turns Levi's fate for the better when a gate suddenly opens right when he was about to perform the Awakening ritual and he wakes up with a mysterious system that allows him to use his mental strength to build his physical strength and magic. From the weak, Arcane-less boy who couldn't live up to his parents reputation, Levi with this new found talent is able to Evolve Infinitely. He embarks on a journey to get stronger and rescue his family, but what happens when gods, monsters, and otherworldly civilizations all stake their claim on Earth? When faced with endless dimensions and infinite trial, what truly matters? Power? Talent? Or the unyielding human spirit?

The world looks ordinary cities, schools, streets filled with noise and neon but behind the veil lurks a truth few can see. Mystics walk among us, monsters stir in shadows, and ancient powers wait to be claimed. Mordaine Carrowell is a nobody. Overlooked, mocked, forgotten. Until a forgotten pendant in his parents’ abandoned home awakens the impossible inside him: the Aetherflame, a forbidden magic that fuses fire, wind, and spirit. Now hunted by Inquisitors and feared by mystics alike, Mordaine is thrust into a hidden war of relics, betrayal, and monsters. Guided by a scarred mentor and joined by a stubborn ally, he must master the fire that could save the world or burn it to ash. In a world of swords, sorcery, and secrets, even a forgotten boy can rise with mystic power.
