"Please, let me be poor! Why are you guys making me a business king instead?!" Julian Vance signed a contract with the Financial Reversal System: If his company goes bankrupt, all the remaining cash will be converted into his personal money. To speed up his path to poverty, Julian deliberately recruited the most disastrous team in Riverdale City—ranging from a lazy manager whose hobby was taking naps, to a head of procurement who always got scammed into buying junk. However, fate had other plans. The junk computers they bought turned out to be secret military quantum prototypes, and Julian's decision to raise workers' salaries instead triggered a national labor strike that destroyed all of his competitors! The chaos peaked when four of the most powerful women—a tyrannical CFO, a logistics dynasty princess, a legal activist, and an ice-cold auditor—ended up falling in love and forming a guerrilla warfare alliance to protect him from bankruptcy. As the company's cash drastically soared to 52 million dollars and his "Duck in Running Shoes" logo was deemed a revolutionary work of art, Julian could only weep blood. Cursed to always be filthy rich and besieged by god-level misunderstandings, can Julian find a way to fail?

The island chose him. It always chooses someone. Kael Blackwood bought Azure Aerie with his last coin. He didn't believe the rumors. He didn't care about the bodies. He needed a second chance, and this cursed rock was all he had left. Then the dead started whispering. The island is a prison. Inside it sleeps the Dread Emperor, a god who devoured civilizations. His jailer, the Warden, has been feeding him souls for millennia. And Kael is the newest sacrifice. But Kael refuses to die. The island's power flows through his veins. With every enemy he crushes, every secret he uncovers, he grows stronger. But power comes with a price. The Emperor is inside his head, whispering promises of destruction. The Warden is coming. His army of shadows is gathering. And the island's hunger is never satisfied. One thing is certain: Kael will either become the sovereign of this nightmare... or its next meal. The island has chosen its master. The slaughter begins now.

Damon Sterling died knowing exactly who betrayed him. His parents were murdered. His family was destroyed. His brothers were slaughtered. And when humanity finally faced extinction, Damon died alone after watching the world he failed to protect collapse around him. Then he opened his eyes. Three days before the apocalypse. His enemies are still alive. His brothers are still breathing. His parents' killers haven't made their move yet. And Damon remembers everything. This time, he won't waste a second grieving. He'll gather the men who once died for him, drain every resource he can get his hands on, build an impregnable sanctuary, awaken an army of Divine Tattoo Envoys, and destroy every traitor before they can betray him. But Damon has returned with something more terrifying than his memories. A mysterious mark between his brows. A mark capable of copying the powers of other Divine Tattoo Envoys, controlling objects with telekinesis, and absorbing the energy of the world itself. Unfortunately, his nine forbidden tattoos are too powerful for his body to awaken safely. So Damon has two days to prepare. Two days to build an army. Two days to settle his debts. Two days to become something the coming apocalypse cannot kill. The world thinks it has three days before the end. Damon Sterling knows it has three days before his empire begins.
