The Greatest Estate Designer

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.

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.

In a world where the "System" grants incredible powers, Silas is branded an Aberrant—a cosmic mistake. His "Paradoxical Path" doesn't give him magic or strength. It gives him impossible, humiliating quests. Get pecked by five chickens. Let a squirrel steal your lunch. Get slapped in public by the Guild's golden boy. Everyone in the backwater village of Oakhaven laughs at the boy with the useless System. But with every absurd challenge completed, Silas earns a hyper-specific, seemingly worthless reward: unshakeable heels, the ability to retrieve stolen items, legs that can't be knocked down. When the arrogant Stormcaller Sir Alaric and his elite squad become trapped by a dungeon's monstrous vines, they're saved not by a mighty warrior, but by a "useless" Aberrant throwing a rock in the most inexplicable way possible. Forced into the Guild's most despised division—Branch C, "Miscellaneous Problems"—Silas must now navigate a hierarchy that despises him, using his growing arsenal of bizarre abilities to solve problems no one else can (or wants to): a cursed oven, a whispering river, a cat in a tree guarded by an axe-wielding hermit. All while fending off the schemes of a noble rival determined to prove he's just a lucky fool. For Silas, every impossible quest is a stepping stone. Every humiliation is a hidden strength. And the Guild is about to learn that the greatest threat to the status quo isn't a mighty hero, but the village idiot who sees a different set of rules entirely.

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.

Most people live their lives without ever knowing what lingers after death. Raito was never meant to be one of the ones who do. Three years ago, a night meant for stars and quiet laughter ended in blood. Since then, Raito has lived a half-life—haunted, isolated, and unseen by the world he no longer fully belongs to. Ghosts roam the city, born from human obsessions too strong to die, yet for reasons he cannot explain, they sense him only when he dares to acknowledge their existence. To them, he is a blind spot. To himself, he is a survivor who should have died. Beneath the surface of ordinary life, a secret war is being fought. The Ghost Hunters Organization (GHO) operates in the shadows, wielding cursed weapons born from the obsessions of fallen spirits, hunting ghosts before their grief and rage evolve into something far worse. When Raito is pulled into this hidden world, a terrifying truth begins to surface—one that ties his survival, his strange condition, and the death of his childhood friend together in ways he never imagined. Because some ghosts do not move on. Some protect. Some wait. And some… live on inside the living. As Raito is forced to confront the dead he carries, the trauma he buried, and the monsters born from human obsession, he must decide whether strength is worth the cost—when every step forward drags the weight of the dead along with him. In a world where ghosts are not born from malice but from love, regret, and obsession, the greatest horror is not what refuses to die… …but what refuses to let go.

House Valin was once the greatest sovereign bloodline in all nine realms. Then Emrys Valin destroyed it for love. Blinded by his obsession with Diane Croft, Emrys signed a contract that was meant to unite two noble Houses. Instead, it became the chain that dragged House Valin into ruin. Its wealth was stolen. Its allies were hunted down. Its enemies rose from the shadows. And the family that once protected the realms fell. He watched his father, the mighty Kane Valin, executed before the eyes of the realm. He watched his sister burn alive inside their home. The powers that were meant to be his to inherit turn their backs on him. For three centuries, Emrys wandered through war, death, and collapsing realms, trying to restore the order he helped destroy. He fought monsters, demons, apex beasts, and primordial horrors, climbing toward the final trial that would decide whether he would reach the last gates of Ascension and become an Empyrean…or perish forgotten.

Three hundred years in the past. Back to the very night he doomed House Valin. The banquet. The contract. The beginning of the end. This time, Emrys will not fall for the lies. This time, he will reclaim everything stolen from his bloodline. And this time… The Realms will remember why House Valin was once feared among the divine! And he will etch his name into a place where not even his forefathers could reach!
