Truth Be Told Mathew West

For five years, Andy Lambert lived like a dog at Karen Moore’s feet. Once a brilliant genius with two PhDs, he signed away his dignity to save his dying mother. He endured every insult, every slap, every command, while secretly running the Moore Group from behind the scenes. Karen thought he was nothing without her family. But the contract has only one month left. Soon, the “obedient pet” she humiliated before everyone will break his chain. And when Andy finally walks away, Karen will learn the truth too late: the man she treated like trash was the only reason her empire survived.

Aeris was born the weakest boy in Stonevale. No magic. No status. No future. Only one thing gave his life meaning, his little sister, Alba, the sickly girl he had spent years protecting. Then the Empire came for her. They called Alba a Sacred Vessel. The villagers called it an honor. Aeris knew it was a death sentence. He fought. He begged. He even turned against the people he once called family. But none of it was enough. So when Alba was placed on the altar, Aeris made one final choice. If the ritual demanded a sacrifice… it would take him instead. Something answered. Something that should have remained buried. When Aeris opened his eyes, the ritual chamber was destroyed, Alba was missing, and a strange voice appeared before him: [Congratulations, Host.] [The Demon Core has chosen you.] Now Aeris has power. More power than he ever dreamed of. But there is something the voice doesn’t tell him. Every time Aeris uses that power, something inside him changes. And the Empire isn’t hunting him because he ruined their ritual. They’re hunting him because of what woke up inside him. With Alba gone and seven Imperial Mages standing between him and the truth, Aeris begins a bloody hunt for the people who tried to sacrifice his sister. But the deeper he goes, the more terrifying the questions become. Why was Alba really chosen? What exactly is the Demon Core? And why does the mysterious System seem to know things about Alba that even Aeris doesn't? Because the truth waiting at the end of his journey may be far worse than death. Alba was never the sacrifice. She was the key. And Aeris? He may be the monster that was created to open the door.

Kenan wanted to escape his past. Kate wanted a future she could control. On their wedding day, both are ripped away. Exposed by betrayal before their vows are sealed, their marriage fractures in front of everyone they know. Before accusations can be answered, before forgiveness or fury can settle—explosions tear through the church, and the world ends. They awaken in a cursed forest world called Horta. The trees have faces. The ground bleeds corruption. And a cold, impartial System informs them of a simple truth: They are the last heroes. Every other world has failed. Every other chosen has died. Their faces now grow in the bark of the forest that devoured them. Kenan and Kate are given a single clearing and a dying pylon. A fragile foothold in a world already lost. Cultivate it. Defend it. Expand it. Or humanity disappears with them. Waves of monsters crash against their shrinking sanctuary. Each victory buys them meters of safety. Each failure tightens the forest’s grip. What begins as a blood-soaked clearing must become a refuge. What becomes a refuge must grow into something capable of sustaining the last survivors of Earth. But survival demands more than strength. Kenan hides a violent truth from the life he tried to abandon. Kate refuses to trust the man who betrayed her. They must fight side by side while their marriage rots between them. Base by base. Wave by wave. Meter by meter. They will carve light out of corruption. They will turn wilderness into a stronghold. They will cultivate a dead world into humanity’s final hope. If they don’t destroy each other first. A dark system-apocalypse story blending base building, relentless base defense, psychological survival, and a fractured romance forced to endure the end of everything.
