The Abandoned Empress

[ Endure... and grow stronger. ] [ Host! Survive Absolute Zero, and you will gain dominion over it. ] [ Host! Endure five days inside an erupting volcano, and your control over fire will surpass anything you possessed before. ] ________________ The day a colossal tower called Zenith appeared, the apocalypse began. Its gates led to countless worlds, each filled with monsters, impossible landscapes, and beings that should never have existed. Humanity's only hope lay with the Awakened-those born with supernatural abilities-who climbed the tower in a desperate attempt to save their world. Rin was the weakest of them all. Betrayed, abandoned, and left for dead, he awakens a mysterious system unlike any other. Instead of granting free power, it drags him into the Chaotic World, where every trial is designed to break both body and mind. [ Survive Absolute Zero.] [ Endure an erupting volcano. ] [ Overcome impossible trials... or die trying. ] Each absurd and merciless mission pushes Rin beyond human limits, transforming him into an existence the world can no longer classify-an Anomaly. But as he grows stronger, one terrifying truth becomes impossible to ignore. The Chaotic World, the system called Charly, and Zenith are all connected... And somewhere beyond the tower, the being who created this apocalypse are waiting.

Alex Carter charged into burning buildings for a living, but nothing scorched deeper than watching his wife walk out of the smoke with another man—leaving him behind to die. One hospital room later, he learned the truth: the woman he had loved, protected, and nearly died for was holding another man’s hand, spending millions on his comfort while Alex bled alone. Divorce was quiet. His disappearance was silent. The world thought the firefighter vanished… But he was only rising. Nobody knew Alex was heir to a global financial dynasty worth more than nations—money measured not in millions, not in billions, but quintillions. When he came back, he came back wearing a crown no one saw coming. “Is that really you, Alex?” Lisa whispers when she sees him again—suited, powerful, surrounded by security and black cars. “No,” he answers, eyes cold as steel. “That man died in the fire. I’m just the king that climbed out of the ashes.” Now the woman who abandoned him kneels at the gates of his empire, the man she chose crumbling under the weight of Alex’s return. She left a firefighter. She will crawl before a Quintillionaire King.

Ethan Ashford was a man quietly drowning. Brilliant, educated, yet perpetually underestimated, he married into the Whitmore family, one of London's most pretentious households, only to become the butt of every dinner-table joke and the family's unofficial errand boy. When his wife, Celine, shatters the last thread of his dignity by choosing her wealthy colleague over their marriage, Ethan walks away with nothing but the clothes on his back. Then an unexpected visitor arrives: Edmund Graves, the lifelong steward of the Sterling family, carrying word that Ethan's estranged father, Lord Aldric Sterling, is dying and wishes to see him. Ethan, still raw from a childhood trauma he has never forgiven, reluctantly agrees. What follows changes everything. Thrust into the helm of a crumbling hotel empire worth billions, Ethan must outsmart his scheming half-brother Dorian, reclaim his dignity, and open his heart to Josephine Laurent, a brilliant French chef who refuses to be impressed by wealth or title. But old wounds run deep, and enemies lurk in every polished corridor. Can a man who was abandoned by everyone he loved learn to trust again, or will the darkness inside the Sterling name consume him before he can rise?

Cast out as a child, betrayed by blood, and erased from his father’s empire—Adrian DeLuca was never meant to return. To the mafia, he was just a bastard, a mistake, a ghost better left in exile. But ghosts have a way of coming back. Now a cold and calculating lawyer with nothing to lose, Adrian returns to the city that abandoned him. He doesn’t come with guns blazing—he comes with something deadlier: a mind sharpened by years in the shadows, an unshakable will for revenge, and the hunger to tear down the empire brick by brick. His half-brothers rule the DeLuca syndicate with arrogance and cruelty. His father sits on the throne of blood, untouchable. But Adrian knows their secrets, their weaknesses, their sins. He will turn allies into traitors, rivals into pawns, and enemies into stepping stones. Every courtroom victory, every hostile takeover, every life ruined brings him closer to his endgame. But power has a price. The deeper Adrian dives into the underworld, the more dangerous the game becomes. Enemies close in, the law hunts him, and even love becomes a weapon aimed at his heart. In a world ruled by loyalty and blood, Adrian must decide: Will he reclaim the throne as the true heir… or burn the entire empire to the ground and bury his family with it?

His wife was shouting over the phone, calling for him to attend to his sick daughter. Without thinking, he abandoned the opportunity of a lifetime, only to go to the hospital and find no one. When he went home, a party was being held without him. His child looked healthy, and his wife had another man's arm around her waist, the same man she'd told him was nothing but business and they were celebrating the same contract that phone call had made him lose. Ethan lost it. He'd spent 9 years living as a ghost because he believed he could build something outside of his family's wealth, with a woman who he'd loved right from campus. But the world was cruel to an honest man like him and now, he'd have to turn to his past and face the very thing that made him walk away from a dynasty, only this time, there is much more darkness to it that he must face.

They gave him a broken fiefdom and a death sentence. He'll give them an empire in return. When Kaito Tanaka, a military strategist deemed too ruthless for the modern world, wakes up as Kaelan von Greyrat, he knows he's been handed the worst deal imaginable. His new family despises him, his soldiers mock him, and a barbarian horde is weeks away from slaughtering them all. But Kaelan has a secret weapon: a System that rewards brilliant tactics with unimaginable power. While knights prepare for a glorious last stand, Kaelan plays a different game. He fights with blackmail instead of blades, with economics instead of armies. Every humiliation becomes a strategic advantage. Every "coward's move" makes him stronger. Soon, the nobles who laughed at him will beg for mercy, the barbarians who sought to crush him will flee in terror, and the kingdom that abandoned him will kneel at his feet. But Kaelan's rise attracts attention from powerful forces beyond his understanding. Other players in this deadly game have been transported to his world, each with their own terrifying abilities. To survive, Kaelan must uncover the truth behind his transmigration and face an enemy who knows all his tricks, because they play the same game. He was given nothing. He'll take everything.
