Truth Be Told Mathew West

What if I told you that they were right? That Bigfoot, The Abominable Snowman, The Loch Ness monster and yes, even The Boogey man were actually real? What if I told you your parents were right when they told you that there are monsters and demons that lurked in the shadows at night? I have seen those monsters, through visions of prophecy and none have baffled me more than The Marauder and The Supremes. Beings even Science could not explain, creatures that held godlike power for so long and walked among us as both oppressors and at times, as saviors. This is one such prophecy I had that I had to put on paper. Call it a story if you wish (it would actually make me feel less crazy). But this is the story of Brendan Payne; the sixteen year old high school boy who went from a regular teenager to finding out that he was not human but instead was born into a race of beings that were believed to be the final and perfect stage of evolution. And by finding out his destiny, Brendan is torn between fighting for the humans who resented him and joining forces with the callous yet beautiful witch, Finch, who claims to have his best interests at heart. This...is The Legend Of Marauder

Three months to live. Zero mana. One desperate lie. **That's how I became the most wanted man in Neo-Tokyo.** I told an assassin my body was "overflowing with Yang Energy." She blushed instead of shooting. I told an S-Rank Hunter her sword technique was "stiff because she's sexually repressed." She destroyed a mountain and swore eternal loyalty. I told a Succubus Queen I was "too powerful to be charmed." She became my maid. Now the is forcing me to maintain this ridiculous persona: **EXTERNAL:** "Kneel. You're not worthy of my touch." **INTERNAL:** *Oh god, if she squeezes my hand she'll break my wrist.* Every woman who desires me generates Desire Points. Lose their faith? I die. The Detective thinks I'm a criminal mastermind. The Heiress thinks I'm a caged god. My Disciple thinks my trembling is "restrained divine power." **They're all wrong. I'm just a dying scammer who weaponized charisma.** But here's the twist: The more they believe the lie... the more real it becomes. **[Warning: Contains Comedy, Face-Slapping, Steamy Mana Transfer, and a Protagonist Who Refuses to Break Character Even When Terrified]**

"You're nothing but a dog chasing after women who would rather spit on you than look at you." That was the last thing Maxver Cole heard before his five beast wives walked out the door, laughing, rushing into the arms of another man without a single glance back. They expected him to crawl. To beg. To break. Instead, he signed the divorce papers with a smile. Because the Maxver they married was dead. The man who woke up in his body came from another world, and he had zero interest in keeping women who treated him like garbage under their shoes. But freedom came with a price. A system counting down his final hours. A contamination level eating him alive from the inside. And a single brutal truth: without beast wives willing to purify him, he would be dead before the week was over. Then the Matching Center notification hit. Five new wives. All of them powerful. All of them stunning. All matched at one hundred percent compatibility, a number the staff had never seen in nineteen years. The women who threw him away stopped laughing real quick. "You divorced a monster," the world told his new wives. They walked through his door anyway.

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.

James Carter was never the strongest student at his hero academy — just the most reliable one. His ability, Bond Link, let him sense his teammates' condition and quietly sharpen their coordination from the shadows. He trusted his team completely. He protected them. He helped them grow. Then, the moment after their biggest victory, they threw him away — deemed "too dependent on others" to be worth keeping. As James walks away from the team he built, Bond Link awakens into something no one ever told him it could become. It isn't a coordination skill at all. It's the power to read — and bind — a person's true potential. And the deeper the bond, the more James can reshape someone's future entirely. At first, all he wants is answers. But when he turns his newly unlocked ability on his former teammates, he uncovers something far more disturbing: their potential has been suppressed all along — deliberately, by someone who got there before him. Someone who understood Bond Link's real nature long before James ever did. Betrayed, awakened, and now hunted by a truth buried in his own ability, James must decide what kind of power he's willing to become — before whoever created this system decides for him.

Marcus West was about to swallow a handful of pills when someone started pounding on his door. Three years ago, he had everything. A restaurant he built from nothing. A wife who believed in him. A future. Now he's got $186,000 in medical debt, a dead wife, and a condemned hotel room in the Tenderloin. Then Jerome shows up bleeding, holding a USB drive and gasping: "They did it to you too. Here's proof." Turns out Marcus's life didn't fall apart by accident. His restaurant was sabotaged. His wife was a federal agent murdered for protecting him. His father was killed for knowing too much. The same people destroyed all of them. Now Marcus has something they didn't expect: the Karmic Debt System. A power that turns suffering into currency. Every nightmare, every loss, every moment of pain—it all has value now. And Marcus has been suffering for a very long time. They took everything from him. He is about to take it back and with interest. Can Marcus tear down the empire that destroyed everything he loved before the debt consumes him? Or will his quest for vengeance cost him what little humanity he has left?
