Survival Game

Elian Athen gave up everything to integrity—his life, his sweat, his time. And yet while his friends grew rich by deceit and faceless crime, he lost everything. His children and wife deserted him, his friends mocked him, and society condemned him as a failure. But when the System of Betrayal and Integrity is awakened in him, Elian has the chance to rise. With every betrayal, he grows stronger. With every injustice, a mission. From the ruins of his former life, he must climb—one mission, one triumph, one truth at a time—until the world that once spewed on him bows at his feet. This is the story of the professional left behind by everyone… but chosen by the System. ---

When King Alden is murdered on his own throne, the royal court fractures overnight. Prince Elias inherits not just a crown, but a nest of enemies: his uncle Alaric moving soldiers in the shadows, nobles who trade loyalty for coin, and spies who turn every whisper into a weapon. Elias is young, untested, and torn between justice and survival. To protect the realm, he must learn faster than his enemies expect—burning illegal armories, unmasking traitors inside the council, and wielding deception as keenly as steel. But every victory costs him: friends, innocence, even mercy. “Trust no shadow,” his father warned—and in this game, even his closest adviser carries secrets that could shatter him. If Elias cannot master the game of knives played around his table, the city will bleed, the throne will fall, and the crown will be shattered forever.

When Victor Lazarus, the world's most powerful art broker, dies suddenly, the international art scene holds its breath. For decades, Lazarus built an empire not by owning the world's rarest masterpieces, but by exhibiting them—Monet, Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Da Vinci, Hokusai, and more. These works, entrusted to him by the world's wealthiest collectors, turned his gallery into their stage: where masterpieces drew crowds, prestige, and profit, until the moment the owners chose to sell. Now, with Lazarus gone, the curtain is rising on the greatest auction of the century. Twelve priceless works, each carrying centuries of history, are set to leave his gallery forever. For the elite, it is a chance to claim cultural immortality. For the press, it is a spectacle without equal. For one crew of six, it is something else entirely. They see more than paintings under glass. They see a once-in-a-lifetime fortune, one last performance of Lazarus's legacy, only rewritten in their favor. With few months to prepare, outthink security systems, staff rotations, and every eye that will be watching. Few months to pull off a heist that would shatter records and rewrite history. But art has a way of ensnaring those who covet it. In the chase for fortune, the question is not only whether the heist can succeed, but whether Lazarus's legacy will be honored, betrayed, or reborn in the shadows. The Lazarus Job is a razor-sharp thriller of art, ambition, power, and the dangerous game played where beauty and power collide.

In a world where extraordinary abilities—known only as Gifts—exist beyond scientific explanation, those who possess them are called the Gifteds. But human greed knows no bounds. Scientists began experimenting on Gifteds, amplifying their powers and even creating abilities in those born without them, resulting in monstrous creations known as the Abominables. The last group to receive powers artificially, without natural or scientific origin, became the Cursed. Neil knows the pain of being Cursed firsthand. Traumatized by the consequences of his own abilities, he struggles with their destructive potential. Yet, after facing countless trials and deadly encounters, he learns to accept his curse as a gift. Alongside his trusted comrades—each Cursed or Abominable—Neil fights for supremacy, recognition, and a chance at belonging. But the truth behind their world is far greater than they ever imagined, and the path ahead is treacherous. Their journey will test them in ways they could never foresee—and survival is far from guaranteed.
