The Bully’s Reincarnation is a fast-paced fantasy drama about power, guilt, and second chances—set in a brutal magical academy where reputation is everything. Once feared as “The Tyrant,” Rafe Valemont ruled the prestigious Dominion Academy through cruelty and dominance. Arrogant, powerful, and merciless, he left behind a trail of broken lives and bitter enemies—until the day he died under mysterious circumstances. But death wasn’t the end. Kai wakes up in Rafe’s body with no memory of his past life. Burdened with the tyrant’s reputation but none of his sins, Kai is immediately met with hatred, fear, and vengeance. Students plot against him. Teachers distrust him. And shadowy factions that once served or opposed Rafe close in, believing he’s faking amnesia. As Kai begins to unravel the truth behind Rafe’s power and crimes, fragments of the tyrant’s memories begin to surface—along with dangerous instincts and whispers that tempt him to embrace the darkness again. Torn between who he is and who he was, Kai must walk a razor-thin line: prove he’s changed, or become what everyone already believes him to be. Amidst the chaos, a quiet girl named Lina sees through the monster’s mask. Her loyalty may be the key to saving him—or breaking him completely. With betrayal lurking in every shadow and the academy itself built on deadly secrets, Kai must decide whether to forge a new path… or finish what Rafe started.

My name is Tobe, and I am just a poor boy from the Mainland slums. In our city, a massive concrete wall separates the poor people from the rich elites who live on the Island. The rich have everything: wealth, high-tech weapons, and powerful magic guilds. We have nothing but dirt and rifts, dangerous tears in reality that let monsters crawl into our streets. To keep my fourteen-year-old sister, Amarachi, safe, I worked myself to the bone. But the Island elites do not care about people like us. They tricked me. They used my family, took our blood, and left us to die so they could unlock a dark, legendary power called the Calamity Core. But I did not die. Instead, I woke up with a blue digital screen floating in front of my eyes. The system gave me a unique power that no other hunter has: Sovereign Necromancy. With every monster I kill, and with every corrupt elite I strike down, I can command their souls to stand up and fight for me. Every shadow I touch becomes my loyal soldier. Now, the rich elites are hunting us down to steal the core inside my sister's chest. But Amarachi is not a helpless child anymore, and I am no longer a weak boy from the slums. With an army of shadows at my back, I am breaking through their walls. I will protect my sister, destroy their corrupt guilds, and make every single billionaire pay for what they did to us.

“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.

The god is dead, but its memory is hungry. Three thousand years ago, the god Tharos fell. Today, his fossilized remains—the Lorn Expanse—serve as the lifeblood of an empire. In the shadow of the Ribs of Lorn, the Empire of the Spine mines god-bone and harvests aetherich to power a civilization of brass and gears. But for those who toil in the dust, the cost of progress is madness. Kael is a survivor of the bone mines, forever changed by a catastrophic collapse in Chamber 19. While others died from the weight of divine essence, Kael woke with the "hum" in his blood. He now hears the frequencies of the dead god and tastes memories trapped in the dust—a gift that feels more like a slow-acting poison. He wants only to survive the grueling life of a scavenger, hiding the resonance that marks him as different. Everything changes when he encounters Ilara, a woman whose voice carries a power that shouldn't exist. She is a Vessel, capable of singing raw god-bone into life, and she is being hunted by the Empire’s mechanical enforcers. The Empire has spent centuries trying to stabilize divine energy, but Kael and Ilara represent something they cannot control: a living connection to a waking god. As the "Thrice-Born" prophecy stirs and the ground beneath the salt flats vibrates with a terrifying new rhythm, the two must flee toward the heart of the god’s corpse. In a world where technology is fueled by the sacred and bone-tech determines the hierarchy of man, Kael and Ilara must decide if they are the harbingers of a new era or the final echoes of a dying god's scream. https://www.royalroad.com/profile/869094/fictions

Kaelen Voss is the best Auctioneer in the business—a rogue who hunts forgotten gods in the shadows of the world, capturing fading deities and selling them to the highest bidder. When a forgotten deity is forgotten, it becomes a Pareidolia, an ephemeral ghost that can be bound and traded like currency. Gods of forgotten waterfalls. Gods of extinct animals. Gods of childhood dreams never remembered. But Kaelen has a secret: he hears their whispers. Every captured god screams in his mind, and the only way to silence them is to find them a new owner. It's a curse. It's a business. It's survival. When he captures an unnamed god of pure malice—a shapeless, nameless thing that predates civilization—he thinks he's struck gold. Until he discovers the truth. This isn't a god. It's an Anti-God. The concept of endings made manifest. The end of empires. The end of bloodlines. The end of everything. Now, powerful factions are hunting him: the Veil Council wants to weaponize the Anti-God. The Shadow Syndicate wants to sell it to the highest bidder. And a mysterious woman from his past knows the Anti-God's true name—the one thing that could either bind it forever or unleash the apocalypse. Kaelen must run an impossible auction, selling the one thing that can end all things to a buyer who can contain it, before the world's most powerful players tear reality apart to claim it. But the Anti-God is patient. And it has been waiting for an Auctioneer who can finally hear its whisper. The End is coming. And Kaelen is holding the bidding paddle.

John Whitaker had nothing but his name—just a plain, useless name in a world ruled by money, influence, and cold-hearted power. He was the unwanted son-in-law of the Prestwick dynasty; an empire worth hundreds of billions. His marriage to Eleanor Prestwick was a shameful secret, something the Prestwick family pretended never happened, and whenever they had to acknowledge it, they reminded everyone that John was the charity case Eleanor brought home from a job internship in a poor neighborhood out of pity. They called him a parasite. They treated him like a stray dog that refused to leave. They spat on his dignity, sneered at his dreams, and sneered even louder when his mother was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer. When he begged for help on his knees, in tears, in public; they laughed. John almost lost his will to live. But fate has a way of rewarding the broken. That very night, when he had no place to sleep, and his mother was on the brink of death in a public hospital ward stinking of poverty and pain, a letter arrived. An inheritance. John Whitaker was not who he thought he was. He was the sole blood heir to the late Howard Ravenshore, the secretive trillionaire who had disappeared from the global stage ten years ago. A man with holdings in every continent, silent power over more than forty governments, and a fortune beyond imagination. His assets were masked under shell companies, shadow trusts, and ghost accounts—untouchable, invisible, unstoppable. And now all of it belonged to John. In an instant, the man who once begged for pennies became the richest human being alive.

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?

But Ghost is back. And he’s not here for mercy. With a custom-built AI surveillance system and a hidden network of rogue insiders, Darius launches an all-out war against the syndicate that turned his life into a lie. His mission?

The only person who can help him unlock it is Amira Cole—the one woman who once believed in him and now believes he’s a traitor.

Full of brutal twists, high-tech warfare, street justice, psychological warfare, and a heart-wrenching romance, this is not just a fight for redemption—it’s a war for the truth.
