The Consortium's Heir

Brad Jones Bastien is a young poor man in his mid 20s who suffers gravely in the hands of his in-laws. One sudden day he was asked to reclaim the lost fortunes of a family he never thought he had. Now he's the most powerful man in the city and he is ready to have his revenge on everyone who had ever treated him wrongly, starting from his mother-in-law.

Ethan Cole wakes in a hospital bed to the ultimate betrayal, his fiancée Emma and his best friend Daniel standing over him, smirking as they announce their engagement. The car accident that nearly killed him wasn't an accident at all. They orchestrated it, stole his company, and left him for dead. But as Ethan signs the divorce papers with trembling hands, a glowing screen materializes before his eyes. SYSTEM ACTIVATED. VENGEANCE PROTOCOL INITIATED. He has one hundred days to reclaim everything they stole, or his comatose mother dies and he loses his inheritance forever. Each completed mission grants him money, skills, and deadly secrets about the people who destroyed him. Ethan must navigate a world of corporate warfare, hidden allies, and brutal enemies while racing against a clock that could cost him everything. They wanted him dead. They should have made sure he stayed that way.

The world ended once. Then it came back wrong. Seven years after the Aura Revival, Earth is no longer safe. New York City has become a war zone. Giant monsters surge through the streets in Beast Tides. Powerful bloodline families rule from fortified towers, using ancient cultivation powers that feel closer to gods than humans. Ronan Burke is nobody. He’s an orphan with no family, no backing, and no talent for cultivation. He survives by running dangerous courier jobs and staying out of sight. Every day is about not getting killed, by beasts, gangs, or the families who control everything. Then one escape goes wrong. Cornered during a Beast Tide, Ronan comes into contact with a relic that should not exist. It doesn’t just give him power. It locks him into a contract. A system awakens in his mind. It gives him one command: Reach Level 16 in every cultivation realm. Achieve perfection. Fail and die. In a world where even the greatest geniuses can barely reach Level 14, Ronan is forced to chase a level everyone believes is impossible. Every breakthrough makes him stronger, and more dangerous to discover. If the families find out what he is, they won’t recruit him. They’ll cut him open to steal his secret. To survive, Ronan must grow in silence. He scavenges the ruins, hunts monsters far above his level, outplays arrogant heirs, and hides his strength at every turn. His only ally is the cold, relentless system guiding him toward a kind of power the modern world insists no longer exists. The Beast Tides are getting worse. The bloodline families are making their moves. And Ronan Burke, the weakest man in the city, may be its last unseen hope… if he can stay hidden long enough.

After being humiliated as a useless son-in-law, Matthew Thomas, a low-level accountant who was in fact a financial genius, was treated as trash, a parasite, by his wife Viviane Lane’s powerful family and the entire board of directors simply because he worked at Lane Corp. Then, without warning, he received the Absolute Resource Control System, ARC, granting him god-tier predictive financial control. With it, he began rebuilding his vast fortune while unraveling an ancient conspiracy that governed the global markets, drawing him toward his destiny as the ultimate Architect of Wealth. Before him, liquidity worth trillions of dollars was nothing more than a medium of exchange. Matthew Thomas, once dismissed as a discarded former son-in-law, had now become the consortium itself.

Ethan Bennett was the perfect son-in-law—humble, quiet, and willing to endure every humiliation from his wife, Sophia Steele, and her arrogant family. They mocked him, treated him like dirt, and tossed him aside without a second thought. But they never knew the truth. Ethan is no ordinary man. He is the hidden heir to the world’s most powerful conglomerate. And now, after Sophia’s cold betrayal, he’s done playing the fool. When Ethan walks away from the Steele family, he disappears into the shadows—only to return as their worst nightmare. With wealth, power, and ruthless determination, he will dismantle everything they hold dear, piece by piece. The once-mighty Steeles will crumble, and when they finally realize who Ethan truly is, it will be far too late. They called him a nobody. Now, he’s the one pulling the strings. And this time, he won’t be silent.

On the day of his graduation, Ethan Cole dropped to one knee before the woman he thought he would spend forever with. But instead of a "yes," her laughter cut through the air, sharp and humiliating. She told him he was unworthy, a nobody scraping by on part-time jobs, unfit to even breathe the same air as her. In front of the entire school, she walked away, straight into the arms of a wealthy heir who showered her with luxuries beyond imagination. What she never knew was that Ethan wasn’t poor at all. His family secretly controlled 70% of the world’s wealth, and by ancient family rule, he had been forced to live humbly until graduation. Now, on the eve of inheriting a global empire, Ethan will rise, not just to claim what is his, but to show the world, and the woman who scorned him, exactly who he is. But as Ethan steps into power, enemies circle. Greedy corporations, shadowy organizations, and even members of his own bloodline want him destroyed. In love and in war, he must navigate betrayal, vengeance, and temptation, while uncovering a darker truth: that power comes with a cost even money can’t pay. His ex thought she rejected a poor man. She had no idea she awakened a king.

Brandon has always been bullied by gangsters, but everything would change when college finally started, in another city. Love seemed to be just right for Bran, but he was betrayed. Bran may not be who he seems. Will he have his revenge? Will he succeed in prooving his value? And will he ever believe in love again?

Born from a forbidden union between a mortal man and a divine Phoenix heiress, the twins Arin and Lyra should never have existed. Their birth shattered ancient laws, awakened an old prophecy, and ignited fear across the realms. To preserve their so-called “pure bloodline,” the Phoenix Clan tore their family apart—imprisoning their father, dragging their mother back in chains, and abandoning the newborn twins in the filth of the mortal slums. But fate refused to let them die. Growing up hunted, starved, and betrayed, Arin becomes steel—cold, determined, and shaped by the cruelty he endures. Lyra becomes flame—gentle yet powerful, carrying a divine spark she can barely control. Together, they survive the darkness that was meant to erase them. Whispers of their lineage spread. Hidden masters begin to watch. Ancient clans—Dragons, Spirits, Angels, Wolves—feel a surge in the balance of power. And in the depths of the realms, enemies who once feared the prophecy awaken. As Arin vows to reclaim the life stolen from them and Lyra searches for the truth behind their parents’ disappearance, the twins face a universe determined to decide their destiny. But destiny bends for no one—except those strong enough to break it. Their journey is one of power, betrayal, forbidden love, brutal cultivation, and cosmic war. The twins who should not exist will rise to stand above all realms—or burn them to ash.

Orphaned and mistreated, Darius West lives a life of relentless struggles until he crosses paths with a tragic beauty. He rescues her, falls deeply in love, and they marry. Yet, her heart remains cold, her affection never kindled. In a moment marred by bitterness and harsh words, Lydia coldly ends their marriage. "Here, take this," she sneers, throwing the divorce papers at him. "I'm done with you, pauper. I never should have married a worthless bastard like you. I regret the day I ever laid eyes on you." Heartbroken yet defiant, he vows, "One day, Lydia, you'll see the value of what you've discarded. And don't expect mercy then." Just as despair seems to have the final say, fate intervenes with an unexpected situation that changes everything—revealing him as the heir to the wealthiest man on the planet. With newfound wealth and power at his fingertips, he embarks on a journey of retribution. "I've been through hell and back," he declares, "but now, I've got the power to turn the tables. I'll make those who mistreated me beg for mercy. It's time for payback, and I'm ready to collect."

Connor Waratah, once heir to the powerful Waratah empire, lives a humble life in Melbourne after being cast out by his family, falsely branded a thief, and abandoned when he needed them most. When the family’s loyal retainer, Jimmy Coolabah, arrives to bring him back, Connor rejects the offer, unwilling to forgive their betrayal. Later, at his wife Kirra’s wealthy Kuranda family gathering, Connor makes a desperate public plea for a loan to save the struggling Billabong Elder Care and Children’s Home—the orphanage where he was raised. His appeal is met with ridicule, insults, and humiliation, leading to his ejection from the event. Kirra, furious over the embarrassment, demands that if Connor wants to redeem himself, he must secure a lucrative property deal her family has long been denied. But when Connor returns to the care home to confess his failure, he discovers a mysterious $2 million donation, medical supplies, and toys for the children—courtesy of Jimmy Coolabah. Jimmy also presents him with two staggering gifts: a rare black card with unlimited funds and full ownership of Jarrah Properties, the very company controlling the building Kirra needs. Though Connor refuses the wealth outright, he realizes he now has the power to help both the care home and his wife. Keeping his fortune and new position a secret, Connor visits Jarrah Properties, enduring cruel treatment from an old enemy before revealing to the company president that he is the new owner. Connor orders that Kirra’s family be given fair access to properties without ever knowing his involvement. Determined to restore the orphanage, protect his wife’s pride, and quietly outmaneuver those who wronged him, Connor begins using his hidden influence to change their lives—on his own terms.
