The Greatest Estate Designer

For fifteen years, Ethan Vale lived inside a game. Eternal Ascension of Tower once had hundreds of millions of players, but as the years passed, they disappeared one by one. Ethan remained until he became the only active player left. By the time he reached the 1,000th floor, he had achieved everything—Global Rank #1, the strongest guild, enormous wealth, unrivaled knowledge, and a legacy no player could surpass. Then the game asked him one final question. [Did you enjoy the game?] [Would you like to play another game?] Ethan chose yes. The update stopped at one percent. Three years later, Ethan has abandoned gaming. He works an ordinary job and spends most of his salary supporting his sick parents. He is still bullied, still overlooked, and still struggling to find meaning in his life. Then every screen in the world turns blue. [WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT] [THE GAME HAS UPDATED.] The game Ethan once conquered becomes reality. Millions awaken as players, Hunters, and guild members. Yet the former world's strongest player starts again at Level 1—with no recognized class and almost no power. His knowledge may be his greatest advantage, but this new world doesn't follow the rules he remembers. To survive, Ethan must climb again. This time, however, the Tower is hiding something even he never knew.

Ji Xuanyuan once stood at the pinnacle of the cultivation world. Revered as the greatest sword cultivator in history and a peerless Heavenly Sovereign, he possessed unmatched strength, unrivaled talent, and the respect of countless cultivators. Yet in the end, he was betrayed by the only two people he had ever trusted—his sworn brother and the woman he loved. Their reason? The Nameless Scripture. With a dagger through his heart, Ji Xuanyuan believed everything had come to an end. Instead... He opened his eyes in the body of Lin Wuchen, a notorious silk-pants young master whose name was synonymous with disgrace. His cultivation was mediocre, his reputation was in ruins, and his future had already been written off by the world. But fate had one final surprise. The Nameless Scripture had never been stolen. It had followed him through death itself. Within its endless pages lay the Nihility Dao Scripture, a cultivation art unlike any other—one that demanded the cultivator return everything to nothingness before walking a path beyond all known Daos. Armed with the sword mastery accumulated over a lifetime and a Dao capable of erasing all things, Ji Xuanyuan begins forging a power the world has never witnessed. A path where destruction gives birth to transcendence, and nothingness becomes the foundation of everything. This time, he will not merely reclaim the peak he once stood upon. He will surpass it. And those who betrayed him will learn that some debts can only be repaid... in blood.

"Step away. She's mine." Eric’s voice was calm but firm, his smirk barely concealed. The man in front of him scoffed. "And what about her?" He pointed at another woman. Eric chuckled, unfazed. "Also mine." The man’s face twisted in disbelief. "And… her too?" Eric nodded casually. "What can I say? A king doesn’t turn away his queens." Frustrated, the other man threw his hands in the air. "How many women do you even need?!" Eric grinned, tilting his head slightly. "As long as beauty exists, they will always belong to me." --- Life had always been cruel. Fired from his job over a ridiculous reason. Dumped by his girlfriend for being broke. Just when he thought things couldn’t get worse, a drunk driver sent him flying. Most would call it the end. For Eric Carter, it was just the beginning. [Ding! Activation requirements met. System initializing…] [Welcome to the Royal Harem System—Dedicated to building the greatest harem in history.] A slow, confident smirk stretched across Eric’s lips as he cracked his knuckles. "From today onward, I, Eric Carter, will be the undisputed Harem King." He straightened his posture, radiating newfound confidence. "Excuse me, miss. You're breathtaking. Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

Betrayed, abandoned, and branded a criminal, Adrian Kane lost everything, the empire he commanded, the woman he loved, and the very name that once struck fear and respect across nations. For three years, he rotted behind prison walls, shunned even by Elena Frost, the wife who turned her back on him. But the man the world condemned is no ordinary outcast. Beneath the scars of betrayal lies the truth: Adrian is no fallen convict, he is a Five-Star General, the nation’s deadliest weapon, hidden in plain sight. Now released, he reemerges into a world that no longer recognizes him. Enemies circle in the shadows. Old allies question his loyalty. And Elena, the woman who once shattered his heart, stands torn between the lies she believed and the truth bleeding before her eyes. As assassins strike and secrets ignite in fire and blood, Adrian is thrust into a war that will either reclaim his honor or consume him whole. But in this battlefield of betrayal and desire, Elena becomes more than his weakness, she is his greatest vulnerability. And when a masked enemy steps from the shadows, exposing Adrian’s true identity in the most brutal way possible, one question burns hotter than the flames surrounding them: Can a man who’s already lost everything protect the one woman he cannot let go, or will she become the weapon that finally destroys him?

Ethan Grey has lived his entire life as nothing. Born without a spiritual root at Skyward Academy — the world's most powerful cultivation institution — he was deemed a hollow, a defect, a boy the heavens forgot to gift. For six years he carried water, scrubbed floors, and watched disciples blaze with qi he would never touch. The Academy didn't even bother to hate him. It simply looked through him. But the night a dying elder presses a jade slip into Ethan's hand and warns him to trust no one — especially not the feared Lord Kael — everything Ethan thought he knew about himself begins to crack. Because Ethan is not hollow. He is empty. And empty, it turns out, is something far more dangerous. Hidden within the jade slip is the Forgotten Sutra — an ancient, erased cultivation method that operates not on elemental qi, but on void: the primordial silence beneath all energy, the space between heartbeats, the darkness before the first flame. It is the original path. The one the powerful buried on purpose. As Ethan awakens abilities no cultivation manual has ever described, he uncovers a conspiracy that runs deeper than one corrupt academy — a three-thousand-year-old crime committed by the world's greatest sects to keep mortals spiritually chained forever. He was supposed to be nothing. Instead, he may be the only person alive who can burn the whole system down.

For twenty-five years, Benedict Vandross gave everything to the Ashcroft family. He sacrificed his dreams to build their billion-dollar empire, worked tirelessly to protect their legacy, and loved them as if they were his own. Yet to them, he was only the quiet young man who never complained, never refused, and never asked for anything in return. Then the family's "long-lost heir" finally comes home. Overnight, Benedict is cast aside. The father he admired no longer looks his way. The mother who unknowingly cherished him is told to forget him. The sister he protected turns against him. Even the woman who promised to spend her life with him chooses the newly returned heir instead. Humiliated, betrayed, and left with nothing, Benedict walks away without a single word. But the Ashcroft family has made one fatal mistake. The son they abandoned was never an outsider. He is the only one who carries the true Ashcroft blood. As old secrets buried for decades begin to surface, a ruthless conspiracy threatens to destroy the empire from within. The "heir" they welcomed may be nothing more than a carefully placed pawn, while the son they threw away becomes the only man capable of saving everything they hold dear. When the truth is finally revealed, will regret be enough to mend a family that buried its own heir? Or will the man they never valued choose to let their empire fall? Sometimes the greatest betrayal isn't losing your family-- it's discovering they never knew who you truly were.

SYNOPSIS Beneath the shimmering lights of a city steeped in sin, Dante Rossi is a detective living in the shadows. He has successfully infiltrated the Valeriano family—the most feared mafia syndicate in existence—with a single mission: to gather the evidence needed to tear them down from the inside. As the personal bodyguard to Isabella Valeriano, the Don’s only daughter, Dante expects his greatest challenge to be the arrogance of a pampered heiress. However, behind the palace-like walls of the mansion, Isabella is no fragile doll. She is a woman of lethal intelligence, weaving her own web of betrayal. Isabella has known Dante’s true identity since day one, but rather than eliminating him, she transforms him into the primary pawn in her plan to overthrow her own father and avenge a childhood tragedy buried in blood. In this dangerous game of cat and mouse, the line between duty and desire begins to blur. Dante finds himself trapped between his oath to the law and a dark attraction to the woman he is meant to imprison. Meanwhile, Isabella begins to question if she can truly love someone destined to destroy her family’s legacy. When the night of the grand gala arrives, their secrets explode amidst the thunder of gunfire. Facing the barrel of a gun, Isabella and Dante must confront a bitter reality: in the world of the mafia, love is the deadliest weakness, and the only way to survive is to betray one another before the world destroys them both.

Five great continents. Endless wars. In this world, Mana is destiny. It decides who rises as a hero, a king, or a monster. But Tyda never got his chance. Before he could even attend the Guild Selection, his home—Lerin Village on the Eastern Continent—was destroyed by Legion Commander Zed. With no awakened power, he stood alone and sacrificed everything to save his people. To the world, he was forgotten. To Gaiden Minamoto, he became a legend. Born in the same village and blessed with the rarest power—Divine Mana—Gaiden grows up determined to honor Tyda’s will. He leaves the Eastern Continent to join a Guild in the South, while his mentors stay behind to build their own strength. Yet not everyone moved on. Tyda’s closest friends—Maya, Bigolo, Bren, Bram, Glendo, Judy, and Rona—were also trained under Teacher Long. But grief turned into blame, and they became bitter enemies consumed by anger. When Gaiden meets these seniors, still full of pain and rage… what will they do? Will he bring them back from the darkness, or be forced to fight them to the death? And the biggest question of all: If Tyda returns one day… what will Gaiden do? Will he welcome back the hero he admired? Or stand against him if he has become the greatest threat the world has ever known? But one thing is certain: Aurora Guild—once empty, forgotten, and the weakest of all—will rise.
