For Arga Pratama, being an honest police officer in this city feels like living in hell. Time and time again, he uncovers solid evidence to put powerful criminals behind bars—only to watch it all end up in the trash. The suspects? Still partying in luxury bars, protected by powerful “insiders” and bottomless wallets. The breaking point comes when Arga is forced to turn a blind eye after the son of a high-ranking official kills someone in a hit-and-run. Sick of being nothing more than a “guard dog” for corrupt elites, Arga slams his badge onto his superior’s desk. He believes quitting is the only way to remain human. However, the world is far from merciful. That very night, Arga loses the most precious thing in his life. His wife suffers a miscarriage after receiving relentless threats from the syndicate he had been investigating. In the cold hospital corridor, Arga can only sit in silence, staring at the ruins of his existence. No job. No authority. And now… no child. At his absolute lowest point, a floating screen suddenly appears before his eyes: [The Ultimate Detective System Activated.] [Target Detected: Those Who Believe They Are Above the Law.] Arga quickly realizes this is his only chance to rise again. Armed with a system capable of uncovering even the faintest traces of crime, he begins operating as a shadow detective. He does not just want to fix his shattered life—he wants every bastard who ever laughed at him to experience what true justice really means. They once bribed the police to erase evidence. Now, not a single secret can escape Arga’s eyes. Because to Arga, justice no longer needs laws or articles— It only needs flawless execution.

To the world, he was a nobody. To the Mitchell family, he was a stain on their reputation. Ethan Hunt’s life changed forever after a mysterious one-night stand with Lisa Mitchell, the cold and beautiful heiress to a multi-billion dollar empire. Forced into a "slave marriage" to cover up a scandal, Ethan endured six months of hell. He was mocked by the elite, treated like a servant in his own home, and eventually framed for a crime he didn’t commit by the very woman he tried to protect. The betrayal was absolute. Sentenced to five years in the city’s most brutal prison, Ethan was left to rot. But his enemies made one fatal mistake: they didn't know who he truly was. Deep inside his soul, an ancient power has awakened. Ethan is the reincarnation of the Dragon God, and his "Golden Finger" has finally activated. Inside the prison walls, he saves the life of a dying secret trillionaire, inheriting an empire that dwarfs the Mitchells' wealth. Five years later, the gates open. The man who walked in was a broken husband. The man walking out is a hidden tycoon with the power of a god and the bank account of a king. Lisa Mitchell is on the brink of losing everything, and she’s looking for a miracle. She’s about to find out that the man she destroyed is the only one who can save her and this time, he isn’t asking for her love.

Beneath Manhattan’s glittering skyline lies the Silver District — an urban quarantine zone where the city hides its failures. Inside its shadows roam the Lycaon, humans mutated by illegal genetic conditioning. Governments insist they’re extinct. They are very wrong. Caleb Mercer — former security officer turned fugitive — survives on the fringes after escaping a classified experiment known as Program Howl. Every night, he battles a violent transformation ripping his humanity apart. Every day, federal strike teams hunt him as an “uncontrolled biological threat.” When an explosion tears through the Silver District, exposing the existence of a second generation of engineered shapeshifters, Caleb becomes the only one capable of tracking the outbreak’s source. He doesn’t want to be a hero. He just wants revenge — and answers. The truth? Something worse than werewolves is evolving in the city’s bones.

In a world ruled by the iron law of Beast Taming, your summoned spirit is your entire worth. A high-ranking beast guarantees luxury, power, and respect. A low-ranking beast condemns you to a life of servitude. For seventeen years, Leo lived in the shadows of the city elite, waiting for the Day of Summoning to change his fate. Instead, it became his living nightmare. Humiliated in front of thousands, mocked by the person he trusted most, and left with a trash-tier ranking, Leo became the joke of the city. But when the elite discarded a dying, mutated defect beast and sentenced it to execution, Leo felt a strange, ancient resonance. He chose to form a soul pact with the creature, drawing the ultimate ridicule from the crowd. They thought he had sealed his own doom. They were wrong. What the world saw as a broken defect was actually a dormant, forbidden myth from the dawn of time. As the blood pact activates, a terrifying power begins to wake, and the people who trampled on Leo’s dignity are about to learn that some gods should never be angered.

The Swarm awaits.] Reborn as the King of Aedes, Zilu is no longer just a human. He is a hybrid, the unseen shadow. The silent fever. The bringer of exquisite, customized agony.

What started as brutal revenge against the woman who destroyed him is spiraling into something far darker. Zilu isn’t just hunting his enemies anymore… He is becoming the nightmare that will bleed the world dry.

As panic turns to hunger and trust turns to fear, Caleb must keep them alive while the outside world collapses into violence. Every night brings new threats: desperate survivors, freezing storms, and the crushing silence of a planet gone dead. In the darkness, leadership costs blood. In the quiet, humanity is tested.

Han Jihan, a bottom-tier Porter left for dead in a dungeon, survives by signing a "god-tier" contract with the mysterious Death Bank. Instead of mana, his powers cost lifespan and physical health, inflicting agonizing penalties like memory loss and organ failure. Guided by Luna, an Auditor who becomes his moral anchor, Jihan rises as the famous "Miracle Hunter." The triumph is short-lived. When Jihan finally clears his sister’s medical debt, the Bank cruelly seizes Luna as a "late fee." To save her, Jihan is forced to become a Reaper, hunting innocent Hunters to pay off the interest. From this rock bottom, Jihan orchestrates a brilliant rebellion. Using his Reaper authority, he gathers "Glitch Essence" to trigger a dimensional inflation, aiming to collapse the Death Bank’s economy from the inside out. As the Bank begins "liquidating" Earth, a physically decaying Jihan turns against the Director. Despite his hair turning white and his heart failing, he dismantles the system’s servers during an apocalyptic invasion. At the peak of the collapse, the system issues one final notification: his life debt has been replaced with an infinite bonus balance. Death Mortgage is a gritty, dark-comedy action story about a man sacrificing his humanity to destroy a cosmic corporate tyranny.

Tristan Asher died on the floor of the Apex Gate, betrayed by the one man he trusted, while the world he'd spent five years trying to save burned around him. Then he opened his eyes in his own apartment—twenty-three years old, five years younger, fourteen hours before the sky cracks open and everything begins again. This time, he's not here to be a hero. He's here to win. He has a list. Every gate, every betrayer, every mistake that cost him everything—he remembers all of it. What he doesn't expect is her. Kira Knight should be a stranger. Instead, he already knows her coffee order, the way her voice drops when she's trying not to cry, and exactly how she died in the life he's not going back to. He can't tell her any of that. He can't tell her he's already loved and lost her once, or that the System itself has a name for what he is—and a warning waiting underneath it: *you are not the first.* Someone else came back before him. Someone else had the same plan, the same knowledge, the same fourteen-hour head start. It didn't work. Now Tristan has seventy-two hours to become someone the apocalypse hasn't already beaten, a woman he isn't allowed to love yet, and a truth he's terrified to find out—why every version of this story before his has ended the same way.
