Sorcière / Sorcier

Caleb Hayes spent six years working three jobs just to keep his wife and son fed. He skipped meals. Wore torn shoes. Paid every debt. And when Natalie asked for a divorce, he signed away the house, the car, and everything he had left. Then, two days before the divorce became final, Caleb discovered an old USB drive containing a fortune worth **one billion dollars**. But the money wasn't the only truth waiting for him. His wife was cheating. The child he had raised for five years wasn't biologically his. And the man she planned to build a new life with was the same man who had secretly been in her life all along. "I gave you everything, Natalie." "You gave me nothing," she replied coldly. "You're broke, Caleb. What could you possibly give me?" Caleb almost laughed. She had no idea. The man she thought was a worthless husband had just become a billionaire. Now Caleb has one question: "What happens when the husband you betrayed no longer needs you?" This time, he won't beg for love. He'll make them regret throwing him away.

Three years ago, Adrian Cross vanished rather than stand trial for a double murder on Ashford Street, a crime he swears he never committed. He has spent every year since running, until a four-word anonymous letter, He knows you're alive, pulls him back before dawn, straight into a second crime scene staged with details from Ashford Street that were never made public. Journalist Elena Marlowe catches the connection first and starts digging, aided by her forensic-science friend Maya Bennett, uncovering a pattern of buried, near-identical crimes stretching back years. Detective Marcus Hale, who built the original case against Adrian, finds his own certainty cracking, even as his chief demands the case close fast and stay closed. Adrian's brother Noah guards a secret bought at a terrible price, one tied to a name absent from every file: Elias Voss. Businessman Victor Raines, long suspected, may actually be the next target, not the mastermind. As Elena and Adrian's paths collide and betrayals surface among those meant to protect him, they must expose a killer always one move ahead, before the next body falls, and before dawn reveals a truth that could destroy them all.

"His parents died as legends at the frontline. So why the hell is their only kid still a Level-F zero at sixteen?" In a war-torn world where alien rifts spit out nightmares and raw power dictates survival, sixteen-year-old Kaelen Thorne is the military academy’s favorite punching bag. Branded with a dead, F-rank core, he’s expected to be nothing more than cannon fodder. But when his blood awakens a forgotten ancestral relic, Kaelen doesn't unlock elemental magic or brute strength. He unlocks Resonance. While his arrogant peers blast monsters with fire and steel, Kaelen discovers he only needs a low, perfectly pitched whistle to make the most feral, terrifying apex predators drop to their knees and tremble at his feet. Knowing the corrupt military top brass would dissect him alive if they discovered his unique power, Kaelen deliberately masks his true strength. He keeps his fake F-rank badge, plays the helpless victim, and endures the mockery of the elite. But in the deadly, mist-choked wilderness beyond the academy walls, the "powerless zero" is quietly building a monstrous, fiercely loyal army in the shadows. The elites think they are the predators of this world. They’re about to learn what happens when the prey learns how to sing.

Franklin's poisoned hands touched the wall, and immediately, the snake-like venom with which his hands decorated crawled up the walls. Tightening itself over the blocks, making the little crumbles gather on the forest floor, dying along with everything around it, Franklin watched as his poison worked on the walls. “Stop, this is unlike you. You can always change yourself,” said a voice that Franklin did not acknowledge at first. “You don't know me. I was born for domination and conquering.” He said as though he was trying to convince himself. “You are a giver of life. What gives you the right to think like that?” The female's voice was angry now. She emerged from the trees to stand before him. “I am a feeder of light, nothing more. I will conquer all who thought I was weak,” Franklin said, seething with anger now looking at who it was. “You think you're so bold, follow me and let's find out,” Lily said as she started running the opposite way. She aimed to let him come jolting out of his reverie, and if she tried all, then so be it. With a growling snarl, Franklin stopped forcing the walls to come down and took off after Lily. He had the mission to eliminate her once and for all.

“I’m not here to stay her bestie, Aiden. I came back to New York to marry her.” Wesley slips a card from his pocket, holding it out like it’s radioactive. “This is me being generous. There’s a hundred thousand dollars loaded on it. Take it. Go home, pack your things, and disappear. I’ll tell everyone you left because life got too hard.” Aiden stares. Not at the money—he could buy a hundred of those cards without blinking—but at the audacity. Because if Wesley knew who he really was… He’d be the one begging to disappear. **** By day, Aiden is the fool. The humble househusband with a dish towel slung over his shoulder, humming as he mops floors, checks the stew, and gets barked at by his in-laws like he’s less than nothing. Everyone thinks he’s soft. Gullible. Replaceable. But by night? He becomes the man the city's richest fear. In a dark room filled with shadows and smoke, he gives orders—orders that no billionaire, no politician, no enemy dares question. They call him sir. But to his wife’s family? He’s still just the broke son-in-law. They don’t know the game they’re playing. Yet.

Julie’s expression hardened, her desperation transforming into a steely determination. "If you really love me, you would do this for me," she insisted. "You have nothing to lose, Jason. But for me, it means everything. My career, my future... It’s all at stake here." Jason Grey felt the weight of her words pressing down on him, a crushing pressure that made it hard to breathe. He loved Julie deeply, but the idea of sacrificing himself for her crime was unthinkable. "Julie, this is insane," he said, his voice strained. "You’re asking me to throw my life away for something you did. I can’t do that." After taking the fall for a crime his wife committed, Jason was released from prison after five years. Upon returning home, he found his wife in an intimate position with his best friend. Feeling betrayed and heartbroken, Jason confronted his wife, only for her to show no remorse and reveal her intention to divorce him. Just as everything seemed to be going wrong for Jason, he received a phone call from a woman who revealed his true identity: he was actually the son of the owner of a multi-billion-dollar enterprise, and his real name was Jason Tempest. Now, with a new identity and a renewed sense of purpose, Jason vowed to take revenge on his wife and best friend for their betrayal. However, he also needed to prove himself worthy and adapt to the cutthroat world of business.

EARTH ONLINE The black towers hung silent over every city for six months. Then, one November morning, a child's bright voice rang out in every head at once — Earth has gone online — and gave the world three days to eliminate a stranger, or be erased. Half the planet didn't make it. Cole Mercer is a librarian. Quiet, exact, ruthlessly calm — the kind of man who reads the room while everyone else is screaming. When the games begin he finds he's been handed no fire, no lightning, no gift worth the name: only a snide little book that collects the powers of the people he kills, and a mind that has never once lost a game that had rules. The Spire has a great many games. Every one is a trap dressed as a fairy tale, and every one can be solved — if you're cold enough, and fast enough, and willing to do the math while the monster is still smiling. But there's a voice on the other end of a cracked artifact, two hundred miles away: the strongest player on the server, a man Cole has never seen, who already seems to know exactly how he thinks. The tower wants them to climb. It should never have let them meet first. A slow-burn M/M apocalypse where the deadliest thing in any room is two minds that refuse to lose — and the one mistake the end of the world ever made was growing them a partner.

In a world where the "System" grants incredible powers, Silas is branded an Aberrant—a cosmic mistake. His "Paradoxical Path" doesn't give him magic or strength. It gives him impossible, humiliating quests. Get pecked by five chickens. Let a squirrel steal your lunch. Get slapped in public by the Guild's golden boy. Everyone in the backwater village of Oakhaven laughs at the boy with the useless System. But with every absurd challenge completed, Silas earns a hyper-specific, seemingly worthless reward: unshakeable heels, the ability to retrieve stolen items, legs that can't be knocked down. When the arrogant Stormcaller Sir Alaric and his elite squad become trapped by a dungeon's monstrous vines, they're saved not by a mighty warrior, but by a "useless" Aberrant throwing a rock in the most inexplicable way possible. Forced into the Guild's most despised division—Branch C, "Miscellaneous Problems"—Silas must now navigate a hierarchy that despises him, using his growing arsenal of bizarre abilities to solve problems no one else can (or wants to): a cursed oven, a whispering river, a cat in a tree guarded by an axe-wielding hermit. All while fending off the schemes of a noble rival determined to prove he's just a lucky fool. For Silas, every impossible quest is a stepping stone. Every humiliation is a hidden strength. And the Guild is about to learn that the greatest threat to the status quo isn't a mighty hero, but the village idiot who sees a different set of rules entirely.
