Strangers On A Train

Andre Corbin was born with raw talent, but no connections. Every evening, he juggled part-time jobs to feed himself and his mother, then hit the empty courts to train under the moonlight. His friends laughed. His coach gave up. His girlfriend left with one final blow: “You’d make a better cleaner than a baller.” But fate had other plans. When an international football scout spotted him by accident from a hotel window, Andre’s destiny changed overnight. A video of his solo training went viral. In days, the biggest clubs in Europe and America were begging to sign him. He became one of the most expensive players alive. But fame isn’t freedom. Now the same people who doubted him want in. His ex wants him back. His fake friends want a piece. And a deadly setup threatens to end it all until they realize the fortune is in his mother’s name. Andre’s comeback wasn’t luck. It was purpose. And he’s just getting started.

Kael Raven returns to Ravenfall after his mother’s mysterious death, expecting grief, unanswered questions, and an empty house. Instead, he finds a warning. Don’t trust the Voss family. Then a strange mark appears on his palm—and suddenly, wounds heal at impossible speed, strangers begin hunting him, and ancient families start whispering his name. Ravenfall isn’t the quiet town he remembers. It is ruled from the shadows by three powerful bloodlines. And somewhere in the forgotten past, a fourth bloodline was supposedly wiped from existence. The Aether. When mysterious Lyra Vale enters his life, Kael discovers she’s hiding secrets of her own. The more he searches for the truth about his mother and the father he was told abandoned him, the more dangerous Ravenfall becomes. Because someone has been waiting thirteen years for Kael to awaken. And now that he has… the bloodline they feared has returned.

He spent three years being their servant. He spent ten years becoming the most feared man in the world. They never knew both were the same person. Ethan Cole is the Supreme King of the underworld — a man powerful enough to make governments move at his command. Yet for three years, he lived as an invisible nobody in the Lane family, cooking their meals and sleeping on their couch. He endured it for one reason—to find a girl from fourteen years ago who gave up her entire inheritance to save two strangers — Ethan and his mother — then vanished before he could even learn her name. What he didn't expect was to find her already at war with the same enemy who destruction them both. Now the patience is over. The tea trays and the borrowed genius — all of it was the calm before something they were never prepared for. They stepped on the wrong man. And he's been waiting.

The year **** civilization has been reformed in a way to maximize economic production. It was called the Golden Civilization. However that was just the front, the world was divided into two areas, the Destitutes and Humans, and the humans had class, splitting into various factions bearing code numbers that were assigned to them once they were born, a world where everyone knew their limits and can never cross a boundary beyond their ability, promotions, and housing is only possible if you have a breakthrough. On the other hand, the Destitutes were an unwelcome species that inhabited the earth, looked like humans, and yet fed on humans. The government saw this as a problem and decided to train men and women to fight for their planet, hence ALAB was founded.

Kael wakes up in a rusted subway car with no memory of how he got there, surrounded by strangers and a mechanical voice announcing the rules of a lethal survival game.

Twenty years ago, nine heroes across the world fought the Monarch of Oblivion, a Godlike being who sought to erase humanity. Among them were Korea’s Han Seojin and Lee Mirae, one of the strongest of their generation. The Monarch fell, but his final words promised doom: “When the Monarch of Calamity returns, he will awaken the others. When peace blinds you… they will remind you of fear.” To the world, the heroes claimed victory and founded the World Hero School Competition, a global system said to train future defenders. In truth, it was a hidden plan created to find those capable of resisting the Monarchs when they ever rise again. Years later, their second child Han Jiwoo lives a quiet life in Seoul — unaware of his parents’ past or the secret buried within him. During his Awakening, his mana fractures the test crystal, revealing an impossible result: Dual-Class — Combat and Unknown. Unknown… the same signature as the Monarch of Oblivion's core but known to no one other than his parents and headmaster. Sent to Eclipse Academy, a once-glorious school now fallen from prestige, Jiwoo becomes the center of attention — admired, doubted, and watched. But when a fateful duel pushes him to the brink, his second power awakens, and within his consciousness, a forgotten voice speaks once more. Bound to the Monarch who once threatened humanity, Jiwoo must master the power that defies gods while forging his own path between light and void.

In 2068, humans mutated to survive in the post-apocalyptic world. They got extra genes in their DNA, granting them cool abilities like super strength or shooting fire from their hands to battle the cruel monsters dominating the Earth. In New Orleans, a dystopian country, there was a special school to train young talents called Neogen High-School. All kinds of talents and abilities are there, and every Neogen graduate would become part of the New Government, joining the Elite Rangers, a special and highest-ranked force in New Orleans. However, Avery was an exception. He got into Neogen on a scholarship but got treated like an outcast 'cause he didn't have any special talents. He stuck at the bottom of the social ladder. Coming from a rough background, he was always underestimated, and even turned into a walking ashtray for his classmates. One day, he was thrown into a dark abyss by someone he thought was his only friend, and he fell into the bottom pit to meet his death. "Yeah, maybe this is the best path for someone talentless like me. Dying alone in a dark and lonely place like this." [Ding!] [All conditions for activating the 'Underdog System' have been met. Avery Blythe has been chosen as the host system.] [Underdog System will be activated.] [… 99%] [Underdog System activated. Complete all quests and climb the social ladder. Don't let the bullies win. Show that an underdog can beat them all!] "... huh?"
