Sad Eyes On My Block

‎"I died once, stripped of my honor, betrayed by one I considered friend and executed like a dog. Now a System says I can rewrite everything… through conquest." ‎ ‎Commander Aurelius Morales opens his eyes five hours before his execution,naked, mid-embrace with his lover, and haunted by memories of his own death and a glowing screen hovering in front of his eyes: ‎ ‎> [CONQUEST SYSTEM ACTIVATED] ‎[Rule through power. Claim through passion. Evolve through blood and loyalty.] ‎ ‎Armed with knowledge of the future and a ruthless system that rewards domination, both militarily and intimately. Aurelius sets out to rewrite history. He tries to save his king a second time… and vanishes into the shadows to begin his true campaign: one of war, seduction, and unrelenting rise to absolute rule. ‎ ‎Each enemy slain gives him their strength. Every woman who surrenders her heart-and body-reduces the corruption eating away at his soul. Elven queens, assassin vixens, feral warriors, magical healers, and corrupted witches… they all become pieces in his grand conquest of kingdoms, hearts, and power itself. ‎ ‎But with every woman he touches and every city he claims, the line between savior and tyrant blurs. The system doesn’t just want him to rule, it wants him to consume. ‎ ‎Can Aurelius lead an empire, satisfy the hunger of his growing harem, and stop a demonic apocalypse,before the system turns him into a monster even his lovers can’t save?

Maximus Crownguard hails from an unknown origin shrouded in mystery, known to be of humble beginnings as the son-in-law of a second-rate family. "Ma, where is Alexa?" he asked as he walked into the living room. The woman glared at Max and replied sharply, "Where else do you think my daughter would go other than work?" ------ Feeling a strange sense of foreboding, he nervously opened the message, but all it said was, "[Help]." He looked at his mother-in-law and coldly said, "Ma, where is Alexa?" as he exuded a deadly aura. The old woman didn't know why she felt a sense of danger when she saw the cold look in Maximus' eyes, so she blurted out without realizing, "She's at Chable Star Entertainment, she signed a contract with Mr. Chen." ------ "Who are you?!" Mr. Chen screamed in fear. The man turned and walked slowly towards Mr. Chen, saying, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is I will end your evil deeds." Mr. Chen's eyes widened as he saw the man's cold face and felt as if he was facing the God of Death. Suddenly, he felt excruciating pain in his right hand, realizing the man had crushed it. ------ "No problem, Mr. Crownguard. But which company are you planning to acquire?" the man inquired again. With a joyous smile, Max replied smoothly, "I want to acquire Chable Star Entertainment."

He saw the end of mankind and suffered a miserable death. But when he opened his eyes, he was back thirty years before his death. Since he had a possible second chance, he decided to become the strongest and survive that miserable end. To become the ultimate wizard. ‘This time I will start with the very beginning.’ He wanted to start before the end of the earth, which was bound to happen in five years. The VR game The Endless. The passage to the planet Yuriel before the end of the earth. If he could become the strongest while he was an immortal player, he would have a chance to escape that tragedy. To people who didn’t know the truth, it was just a game. To people who knew the truth, it was their future. To Jason, who knew the future, it was his ticket to survival. … ‘Let me use thirty years of my experience. Ah… I never played The Endless in my previous life. Great!’ ‘I know all about planet Yuriel. But, in five more years….’ ‘I have no time to join a Guild. I can’t babysit anyone.’ … “Join our guild if you want the money to buy a VR cabin. ” … ‘I have to focus all my time on getting stronger.’ “There is no food in the village.” .. “Hey, where are you going? You brought a child here and trying to leave? She is your child now, so take care of her.” “Eh… I will come back soon.” ‘Damn it. Didn’t I say, ‘I don’t want to be a babysitter’?’ … “That child is cursed.” “Did you say she is cursed? Say that again, I will kill you.” … ‘Right. Why did I start playing this game, again?’

“Alessia, what’s happening here? Were you just making out with your boss?” He asked, his eyes widening in shock. “What does it looks like? Of course I was having a nice time with him. Compared to you, he’ll pay for my bills, the ones you were unable to meet up with.” She hissed. *** A young delivery agent who just lost his job, was on his way home. Though there was nothing to be glad about, he was ready to bless the heavens just for keeping Alessia; his one and only love by his side. It’s such a pity for him that he got brutalized and insulted by the same person he thought had his back. Disappointment was written all over his face as he stepped his foot out of that office. [Host Pharrell, this is the SIMPLING system, you have received ten thousand dollars, to be spent in the next two hours] Pharrell Crowley is ready to get to the top!

In 2030, a giant wormhole appeared above the Pacific Ocean. Scientists believed that it was a portal leading to another world besides earth. The United Nations decided to send a drone to investigate this phenomenon, but one hour after the drone entered, disaster struck. The wormhole suddenly became twice as large followed by a yellow gas pouring out. Two brothers, Lee Young-soo and Lee Min-su watched from a Television store, as their mother died while reporting the incident for South Korea's International News Station. ******** With the camera on her, she raised the mic to her lips and started speaking. “Young-soo, if you're watching this with Min-su, I want you to cover his eyes. Don’t let him see this.” Young-soo who was by his brother’s side raised his left hand and covered his eyes. “No!” Min-su protested and tried to remove his brother’s hand, but it stayed firm over his eyes. Young-soo was watching his mother on the television screen with slightly red eyes, as he bit his bottom lip so hard a few droplets of blood fell to the ground. “I want the both of you to know that I love you with all my heart and that I’m sorry I won’t be able to see the two of you go off to college and get married someday.” Tears started to fall from her eyes as she spoke her next words. “Young-soo, I want you to protect Min-su when I’m gone, and... Crash!!” With a violent jerk, the yellow gas engulfed the helicopter causing the cameraman to drop the camera, cutting off the transmission.

“You're not a nobody,” Victor Moon said, his silver eyes unreadable. “You're the man gods once feared.” Banished from divine memory and stripped of celestial might, Marcus Steele walks among mortals in plain clothes and quiet patience. Bound by an ancient marriage contract, he arrives in Manhattan—a city of supernatural elites—to claim his betrothed. But Diana Sterling, the ice-cold CEO of Sterling Industries, publicly humiliates him, mocking his appearance, status, and power. She doesn’t know who she’s mocking. None of them do. “Take your money,” Diana sneers, hurling a check worth millions. “We're not equals. You don’t belong in my world.” She’s wrong. When shadow demons strike, Marcus reveals a glimpse of the war god he once was—effortlessly annihilating threats, catching the attention of Sarah Moon, heiress to the most feared family in the supernatural underworld. “Marcus,” Sarah whispers, fierce and elegant, “I want you to be my partner.” As Manhattan’s elites scramble to earn his favor, old enemies emerge from the shadows, desperate to keep Marcus from reclaiming his throne. But with each battle, his power returns—and so do his memories. “Tell your master,” Marcus says, standing over broken assassins, “that some wars aren’t worth starting.” They wanted a pawn. They mocked a drifter. They awoke a god. Now, Marcus Steele is done pretending.

“How can I, beautiful Sarah, a fashion model, be in a relationship with a person like you who can't even walk well? Your face is all bruised, and your lips look so scary. You might look good but it's useless. You're worthless, you're poor. Your eyes have dark circles with swells, and your shape is… Rigid, just like a beggar. A perfect person like me will never accept a relationship with you. So never call me your girlfriend; I feel insulted. You're not my class, Caspian.” Her heartless words were like bullets being shot at his heart. * Caspian, who had been betrayed by his girlfriend for being not only poor but also worthless, discovered An Almighty Dominant System while being bullied by his ex-girlfriend's new rich boyfriend. “Wait until I get stronger; I will make you regret it!” Nobody expected him to be the switched son of the country's richest man!!

Mother-in-law,“ Divorce my daughter, you, useless poverty dog! I have found better men for her, you never deserve her in the first place!” Jaden Reed:“ Divorce? If you truly want to divorce your daughter, then do me a favor and ask Vera to tell me by herself that she wants to divorce me because she's fed up with the marriage and not you or any other member of this family forcing her. Can you do that?" Wife:“ I am sick and tired of your life of poverty and need someone better who is willing to take care of me. I want a divorce now. You've been the family slave for years so it won't be right that you leave this house empty-handed, so I'll give you a check of 1 million dollars as a map...." Jaden Reed left the house with tears in his eyes, on his way a phone call from overseas came in. "Young Master Reed, the contracts are ready! With over 50 billion, the once useless son-in-law becomes the consortium’s legatee.

"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.

It is NOT a harem, and there are very few sexually explicit scenes. My world building and character development aren't the best, but they will improve with time. I hope you enjoy it, and if you do, please consider supporting, reviewing, commenting, and following. Have a good time!
