Squid Game Square

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.

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.

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.

Joshua Reed gave everything to the woman he loved. For six years, he worked himself to the bone, fed her family, built their home, and sacrificed every dream for their happiness.

She has no idea that, when the world ends, money won't buy food, safety, or a second chance. Only Joshua's shelter can. And the people who betrayed him?

When gods bleed, mortals awaken… Centuries ago, the gods fell, and from their corpses flowed Eclipse Veins glowing rivers of divine blood that reshaped the world. Those who dared to drink from them gained unimaginable power… and lost pieces of their humanity in return. Now, as the last eclipse rises, the veins are dying and so is the empire that depends on them. Chaos spreads across the fractured lands, and those born under the eclipse are marked as Cursed Descendants hunted, feared, and executed. Riven Kael, a disciplined young soldier, never believed in fate until the night his veins ignited silver on the battlefield and everything he touched turned to ash. Branded a monster and forced to flee, Riven crosses paths with Lyra Vale, a mysterious girl who claims to be the reincarnation of the moon goddess herself. Lyra knows Riven’s secret the god’s voice whispering in his blood is the same one that once destroyed the heavens. To save what remains of humanity, Riven must uncover the truth behind his divine curse before the Eclipse Veins collapse completely… or become the god who ends the world a second time. But love was never part of the prophecy. And when a goddess falls for a god-killer, the stars themselves will tremble.

"This world doesn't need a hero. A broken world just needs a ruler crueler than any monster out there." Jonathan was left bleeding out on the wet asphalt. His fiancée walked away arm-in-arm with a rich boss, right as the city sky ripped open and monsters rained down to swallow the streets. Just as his breath was fading, a cold, mechanical voice buzzed in his head: [Critical Condition. Initiating Alpha Evolution System Synchronization.] Instead of dying, Jonathan got back up. Saving the world? He couldn't care less. He used the system for one thing only: hunting. From the street thugs who stomped on his head, corrupt military generals acting tough, to giant apocalyptic monsters—he butchered them all. He drained their energy to evolve. Now, so-called 'Gods' from other dimensions are descending to Earth because they feel threatened. They think Jonathan is just a street rat who got lucky with a cheat. Let them come. Jonathan only sees them as one thing: dinner for his next evolution.

"If you've any conscience left in you, you'll understand that you deserve this." The prison doors closed behind him with those final words. Ethan Carvendish was the true heir of the Carvendish family, yet his existence was treated as nothing more than a stain that needed to be erased. "You're nothing but a criminal!" His father discarded him without hesitation. "I regret giving birth to you. I wish Charlie was my biological son!" His mother chose an adopted son over her own flesh and blood. "Charlie is my only brother, not a disgusting parasite like you." His sister looked at him with nothing but disgust. "It's just three years in prison. Charlie is delicate, unlike you." The woman he loved stood beside his adopted brother, forged evidence, framed him, and watched silently as he was condemned for a crime he never committed. For three years, he rotted in prison for someone's crime, while they celebrated his fall. The prison did not break him, it awakened him. Now Ethan has returned, not as the discarded heir… But as the Shadow Tyrant. A name whispered in fear. A power no one can control. A ruler the elite world cannot defy. "Son… We were wrong." The parents who abandoned him now kneel before him. "Ethan, sister regrets everything… please come back…" The sister who once saw him as nothing but a disgrace now begging for his attention. "Ethan… please give me another chance…" The woman who once sent him to prison crawls to his feet. But the Ethan Carvendish they betrayed died behind those prison walls, the one who returned is coldhearted. As the world trembles before the Shadow Tyrant, only one question remains. Will Ethan Carvendish reclaim everything that was stolen from him… or will shadow tyrant destroy them all without mercy?
