Ruthless

He watched his mother die at five years old and said nothing. Not because he was weak. Because he was smart enough to know that a child with the truth and no power is just the next victim. For fourteen years Franklin Dawnric drank, chased women and let his father's town call him a waste while he hid his magic, gathered his evidence and helped his people in the dark under a mask no one could name. He was not lost. He was loading. But when the governor's tournament forces his hand and the truth of what he is lands in the middle of a crowded arena, the people who murdered his mother realize the boy they dismissed at five years old has spent fourteen years becoming the one thing they were never prepared for. Patient. Powerful. And finished waiting.

Rags to Billions. Bullied to Domination. Ugly to Handsome. Jason Reed was bullied and discriminated all his life. His life was filled with uncertainty and hate, especially from the people who were disgusted by his hideous looks. As a baby, his parents abandoned him. As a teenager, people hated him. Accused and jailed for a crime he didn't commit, Jason thought that it's hope for a good life will forever be a dream. But fate us twisted. Fate has other plans for him.

He's so disgusting.'' He didn't care about what they say now. He will prove to them they picked on the wrong guy.

They mocked Erick Gerard for five years. The Laurent family treated him like a worthless live-in repairman. His wife ignored him. Her elite relatives humiliated him publicly. To New York’s upper class, Erick was nothing more than a pathetic son-in-law clinging to a powerful family. But Erick has a secret. Five years ago, Quade Gerard—the legendary founder of Gerard Dominion and the most feared young billionaire in America—was declared dead after a suspicious accident that destroyed his empire and killed his father. The world buried Quade. His enemies stole everything he built. They never realized he survived. Now, hiding behind the identity of a useless husband, Erick has spent years living inside the family connected to his father’s death, quietly watching, waiting, and planning revenge. But when powerful enemies discover Quade Gerard is alive, Manhattan’s elite descend into paranoia, betrayal, and war. Because the man they buried has finally come home. And this time, he isn’t leaving anyone alive politically, financially… or emotionally.

Alex was reborn into Blue Star, a world of advanced technology and modern comforts, yet ruled by the ancient, unchanging power of royal families. As a prince of the mighty Roshar Kingdom, he was born into luxury but cursed with minimal talent for the martial arts that defined this world's elite. Seeing the brutal intrigue within his own family, his sole ambition became a simple one: to avoid the throne's bloody games and survive a long, quiet life of privileged obscurity. That plan shattered when he was framed for a rebellion he knew nothing about. Cast out by the king without a trial or explanation and abandoned by a mother who refused to even say goodbye, Alex was exiled to the Wall—the world's most feared military penal colony. As a low-ranking, seemingly untalented warrior, everyone believed he was being sent to a silent death. But the Wall was not a prison. It was the grim, hidden truth from the normal people. Here, Alex witnessed the real war: a daily, desperate struggle against nightmarish monsters, a crisis kept secret from the peaceful, modern world behind a veil of royal and Council lies. Facing the terror for the first time, he realized the world's cruel hypocrisy and his own terrifying fragility. Yet, in the carnage, he discovered a latent, macabre gift: the ability to harvest strength from the fallen. This power could change everything, offering a path to survival and vengeance. But even as he grasps this chance, burning questions haunt him: Why was he, the deliberately passive prince, chosen as the pawn? Why did his father condemn him without a word? Why is the true horror of their world buried beneath a facade of normalcy? Armed with a secret that could elevate him or mark him for death.

"They called me trash. They called me a sacrifice. Now, I will call myself their God." In his earlier days, Kael led elite troops - fierce, unshakable till the very last breath. Yet that devotion got twisted into deceit. His own bosses handed him over; missiles tore through him while rage roared inside his chest. Yet dying wasn’t the finish. Kael wakes up inside Kaelen Vance - once the shamed third heir of a top martial bloodline. Out here, power rules; Kaelen had none - he couldn’t channel energy at all. His siblings tormented him nonstop until his cousin killed him just to steal his birthright. One heart, tied by a twist of deceit - yet both walking the same path. A bond broken before it even began. Right when Kael gets ready to battle his way free from hell, a robotic voice echoes inside his head - Welcome, Host - the God-Slayer System just powered up Using the System, Kaelan’s weak body changes fast - suddenly strong. The Ancient Dragon Body awakens, making stuck energy paths pump raw strength nonstop. Now he spots enemy details at a glance, grabs epic skills almost instantly. Killing foes pushes him higher, each battle adding power bit by bit. The family that turned their back on him? They’ll bow down. His cousin - the one who ended his life? Blood will answer for it. As for the so-called gods running everything? They’re marked now. Starting from the bottom world up to the top god realms, Kaelen moves forward - cold, focused. Survival isn't enough; instead, he takes control by force. This isn't about some brave savior fixing everything. Nah, this one’s about a ruler who just claimed it all instead.

For three years Kai Mercer cleaned their cars, ate their leftovers, and answered to whatever name they felt like calling him that day. He let them. Not because he was weak. Not because he had no choice. Because the people who sent him into the Shen household told him to wait. To watch. To learn exactly how rotten their empire was from the inside before he burned it down. Then they dragged him out in front of three hundred guests, handed him divorce papers with his wife's signature already dry on the last page, and threw him into the street like he was never a man at all. That was the last mistake they will ever make. Kai Mercer is not who they think he is. He never was. And every person who smiled while they destroyed him is about to find out that the nobody they threw away was the only thing standing between them and the most powerful family in the country. He is not coming back for revenge. He is coming back to collect. And this time nobody is walking him to the door.

In 2045, the "System" turned Earth into a divine slaughterhouse. Silas rose from slave-gladiator to God-Slayer, only to learn the truth: the System exists to harvest humanity. To break the loop, Silas shattered the Supreme Deity’s heart, triggering a Chrono-Collapse. Now, Silas is back in the pits ten years earlier, slave collar and all. But he’s brought a trophy: the Divine Slayer Store, filled with the stolen powers of the gods he’s already killed once. By farming "Karma" through defiance, Silas will buy back his godhood and turn the System's "playground" into a graveyard for the Gamemasters.

His family detested him, the institute rejected him, his talent and placed him at the bottom, until Rowan decided to fight for himself and it resulted to a brutal consequence that almost cost him his life until a woman walked to him, Joyce Lang, trillionaire with a fallen empire. "I'm giving you half of my wealth, Rowan." Now, Rowan is back with his talent and hidden wealth to destroy everyone who humiliated him. And Joyce Lang, who will she end up being with?

Three years. That’s how long I worked part-time jobs, skipped meals, and saved every cent to support Olivia’s "future." I thought we were building a life together. I was wrong. The moment I stepped onto campus as a graduate, she didn't just dump me, she dragged me through the mud. She chose a sugar daddy twice her age, spat in my face, and humiliated me in front of everyone I knew. I was left with nothing: no job, no money, and a broken spirit in the middle of a Los Angeles storm. But then, the System woke up. “Mission triggered: Slap the slut in the face. Reward: $300,000.” The payout was instant. The revenge was sweet. Olivia thinks she traded up for a king, but she just paved the way for me to become a titan. She wanted a man with money? Fine. I’ll buy the luxury store she’s shopping in and make sure she’s never allowed to walk through the doors again. I’m Willy Morgan, and the days of being a stepping stone are over. The hunt is on, and the system is paying for every hit.
