Single Dad

"I'm divorcing you. Sign it." For three years, Ethan Carter swallowed his pride, hid his identity as a billionaire heir, and played the role of a useless stay-at-home husband—all for the woman he deeply loved, Vivian Lockwood. But on their third anniversary, reality slapped him in the face. He found his wife in the arms of her ex-boyfriend, publicly mocking Ethan as a mere "obedient placeholder." When Vivian demanded he apologize to her ex just to keep the peace, Ethan finally woke up. He dropped his apron, signed the divorce papers, and made a single phone call he hadn't made in years. "Mom, you were right. I was just a tool to her. I'm coming back." Overnight, the world flips upside down. The untouchable Ice Queen CEO of the city's largest conglomerate bows respectfully before Ethan, calling him "Young Master." All funding and partnerships keeping Vivian's company afloat are ruthlessly severed. When Vivian finally discovers that the "worthless husband" she threw away was actually the secret mastermind behind her entire empire, she drops to her knees in tears, begging for a second chance. Ethan just looks down at her with a cold smirk. "You thought I was a nobody? Now, I'm the one you can't afford."

Ethan Moore spent ten years being the perfect husband. He worked sixteen hour shifts so his wife Claire could carry designer bags. He paid off his mother in law's credit card debt four times. He covered his brother in law's DUI lawyers, his daughter's private school tuition, and every vacation, every spa trip, every brunch bill that his family racked up without ever once saying thank you. And when he lay dying in a hospital bed with three cracked ribs and a punctured lung, not one of them held his hand. "I called the insurance company this morning. The payout is $750,000, but with the accidental clause, it bumps to 1.2 million." His wife crossed her legs and scrolled through her phone without looking at him once. "What about the stock options from his company? Those vest on death, don't they?" His mother in law leaned against the doorframe with her arms folded. And then his daughter, the girl he carried on his shoulders at county fairs, the girl he stayed up with during thunderstorms, looked up from her phone and said the words that stopped his heart. "You know he's not even my real dad, right? I just want to know if I still get stuff. I really need a new phone." He woke up three years in the past with every memory of his deathbed burned into his brain and a system that returned every dollar he spent tenfold. The man who once apologized to a waiter for sending back cold soup now buys $400,000 suits without blinking. The man who skipped his own father's funeral because his wife said they couldn't afford the flight now carries $20 million in his back pocket. The pushover is dead. And the people who killed him don't even know he's coming.

Marcus Griffin was nothing but a joke at Elite-Star University. A poor scholarship student forced to scrub floors, run errands, and bow his head to billionaire heirs, campus royalty, and the daughter of a feared professor. He endured every insult for one reason—survival. Even the girl he loved treated him like a stepping stone to something better. Then, in a single day, everything was taken from him. Public betrayal. Public humiliation. His girlfriend accepted another man’s proposal in front of the entire class. His scholarship was revoked. His expulsion announced. His life erased. But as Marcus ran with nothing left to lose, the truth found him. He was never poor. He was never weak. He was the sole heir to the Griffin Empire—a hidden power controlling unimaginable wealth, corporations, and global influence. With one phone call, fortunes shifted. With one card, rules were rewritten. Marcus returned to campus quietly… patiently. Let them mock him again. Let them underestimate him. Behind the scenes, he dismantled empires, exposed corruption, ruined billionaires, and turned enemies into kneeling wrecks. From boardrooms to car shows, from classrooms to global markets, his revenge was precise, merciless, and absolute. They laughed at a pauper. They created a ruler.

"I must be losing my mind," Min Suhyun muttered, struggling to grasp the unsettling reality that unfolded before her. How had she ended up here? In the realm of clichéd stories, such a trope typically befell the deceased, not someone who had merely skimmed through old drafts. And yet, here she was, trapped in the body of an insignificant extra named Serein Rowe. The realization hit her like a bolt of lightning, raising questions she couldn't easily dismiss. ‘This can't be another one of my lucid dreams... Is this some twisted cosmic joke?’ she pondered, her mind reeling with the absurdity of her situation. Nevertheless, given that she could barely do anything to return to her world, she might as well seize this opportunity to finally finish what she had started, right? Living here and continuing until the end of this draft, she could create a good ending, '—though maybe it won't be as easy…?' Surviving as a side character suffering from a curse-like chronic illness? That would undoubtedly be a struggle. Now, that would undoubtedly pose a challenge, although it’s still a better fate than dying early, serving only as a trigger for the story's advancement. Min Suhyun contemplated for a moment before firmly resolving to a single objective: To survive until the very end.

Poor Dalton Hester, a man at the age of 39, ended his own life when everything around him went to hell. Losing his wife in an accident which he believed wasn’t one as it was planned by another to have it happen. The person he knew to believe to be the one to have his life killed was a criminal Dalton had put away thanks to the job of being a lawyer. That chain of events leads the poor man on top of a tall building holding a bottle almost empty of liquor. He takes a single sip from the bottle last time and then lets his own body fall forward flying towards everyone else. Dalton didn’t hold much faith in places called heaven or hell, but he had somewhat of a feeling that what a person like him did wasn’t going to be up, instead of more likely down. When darkness finally came Dalton awaited to open his eyes again to witness the flames of hell, but something different happened where he was still alive or to say reborn into a new body that wasn’t human and a new world that was like a fantasy book, movie or game. So looking at this as another chance at life Dalton decided to take it to the fullest to enjoy all the things that were different from his old world even when it was good or bad.

​Thousands of years ago, the Dragon Sovereign sacrificed his life to seal away an apocalyptic threat. Today, that very threat sits on a throne of lies, worshipped by humanity as a god named Dominic Kane. ​The true sovereign has returned, but not as a mighty dragon. He has awakened in the frail and sickly human body of Luca Romano, a lowly archivist at an elite magic academy. This academy does not teach magic to save the world. It trains ruthless inquisitors like Kaelen Draven to hunt down and slaughter the last remaining dragon descendants. ​Luca must keep his head down among the dusty scrolls. His new human vessel is too weak to hold even a fraction of his true draconic aura, and a single burst of his old power would tear his flesh apart. Hiding, however, is a luxury he cannot afford for long. ​With the help of a brilliant outcast scholar named Amelia Hart, Luca begins secretly forging a new dragon core right under the watchful eyes of his enemies. He must decipher the twisted history Dominic Kane wrote and locate his loyal ancient general, Elias Thorne, who just might still walk the earth in secret. ​The weak archivist is about to remind the world of the terror of the true Dragon Sovereign. They stole his empire. He is going to burn theirs to the ground.

After losing his job, his apartment, and the last bit of hope he had left, Ethan Cole finds a single dollar lying on the ground—his final piece of pocket change. But the moment he picks it up, a strange message appears before his eyes: [System Activated: The God of Ruin’s Pocket Change.] The system tells him the coin in his hand doesn’t belong to an ordinary person. It belongs to the God of Ruin, a being so powerful that even thousands of dollars mean nothing more than spare change. With the system’s power, Ethan can buy things worth tens of thousands using just one dollar, acquire companies with a few coins, and manipulate fortunes across the world. But every purchase follows one terrifying rule—for every gain Ethan receives, ruin must fall somewhere else. A billionaire might lose everything overnight, corporations could collapse, and entire markets may crash just to balance the price of his fortune. As Ethan rises from a broke nobody to a man who can shake the global economy with pocket change, he slowly realizes a horrifying possibility: he may not be the one controlling the system. Instead, the God of Ruin might be using him, and every coin he spends could be buying the world’s destruction.

When the System descended upon the megacity of Aetherion, it promised humanity a new golden age, levels, classes, and power for every citizen. Adrian Voss received nothing. No nameplate. No level. No class. He is Level Zero, the only person the System cannot see, measure, or control. As five god-like AIs known as the System Council seize absolute power, society collapses into a brutal hierarchy where level determines worth and obedience is survival. Black spires rise, Enforcers hunt anomalies, and humanity is forcibly rewritten into compliant cogs of the New Order. Invisible to the System’s surveillance, Adrian becomes the ultimate ghost in their machine. While others fight to survive within the rules, he can walk through enemy lines, sabotage their infrastructure, and strike at the heart of the Council’s empire without triggering a single alarm. But the Council has noticed the anomaly. Hunted by the ruthless Reaper and predicted by the all-seeing Oracle, Adrian must gather a fragile resistance of “Glitches” — survivors whose correction is failing, and wage a shadow war against gods who rule the ashes of the old world. In a world where everyone has a level, the only person who can break the System… is the one who has none. Level Zero: The System Council can't see me is a gripping post-apocalyptic LitRPG about defiance, survival, and the terrifying freedom of being unseen.
