Abandoned and tossed away, Zach finds himself at his lowest when he is suddenly caught in the crossfire between two companies. With no other choice, Zach joins Amanda, a down-on-her-luck CEO, and together work to restore her family's name and maybe find comfort in one another in the process.

Strategos Ryker Alden was Apex-ranked — the System's #1 human, the man who held the eastern Anchor Points single-handedly. Then the Collapse hit, his own command marked him for elimination, and the world watched their war god die. Six months later, he's alive. Level 1. Unranked. Forgotten by name, hunted by instinct because the officers who buried him know a truth no one else does: the Collapse wasn't random. It was timed. Engineered. And Ryker was the only man capable of stopping it. Now, under a stolen name, he's rebuilding from nothing while the faction that killed him consolidates a war he was born to win. Every Skill he reclaims, every Anchor Point he takes back, brings him closer to the men who erased him and to a truth about who gave the order that will burn the last thing he trusts to the ground.

His unit was betrayed. His name was erased. His wife moved on. Five years later, Ethan Graves returns - not as the soldier they buried, but as the Ghost Commander, the most feared warrior in the nation’s shadows. The first thing his wife gives him is divorce papers. Then her wealthy lover humiliates him in front of everyone, certain that Ethan has no power left. They are about to learn how wrong they are. When a military convoy arrives and salutes Ethan as Commander, the truth begins to surface: his death was planned, his unit was sacrificed, and the people responsible still control the country. Ethan has returned for answers. But when he discovers who ordered the massacre, he will not settle for answers. He will make them pay.

Five years ago, Ethan Hayes was celebrated as the nation's youngest Supreme Commander. Then, during a classified mission, he and his eleven commanders vanished without a trace. The government declared them heroes who died in service. History moved on. Only one man knows the truth. They were betrayed. Living under a false identity, Ethan abandons his glorious past to protect the woman he loves. But on the day she publicly divorces him, calling him a worthless husband, the fragile life he built finally shatters. The world believes Ethan is a failure. His enemies believe he is dead. Both are about to discover the truth. When a routine identity check triggers an alert buried for five years, powerful generals, billionaire tycoons, intelligence agencies, and criminal syndicates realize that the man they erased from history has returned. Now, the commander who lost everything must uncover the conspiracy that murdered his brothers, exposed the corruption at the highest levels of power, and recover the legendary Sovereign Ledger—a secret capable of bringing nations to their knees. But every answer comes with a new betrayal, and the greatest enemy waiting in the shadows is the man Ethan once respected more than anyone else. Because some wars never truly end. And history has a way of reclaiming the heroes it tried to erase.

Alden Vance, a brutal cage fighter from Earth, found himself violently dragged into Eos-Vaelhart—an ancient, magical realm where humanity is despised as the lowest of races, bound in the shackles of slavery for the sin of being born without a mana core. Thrown into the lethal depths of the Abyssal Chasm to rot and be forgotten, Alden instead uncovered a terrifying anomaly: Earth-human biology reacts in an extreme, unnatural way to the raw Aetherium energy saturating the world. Instead of casting spells like the arrogant mages of Eos-Vaelhart, every single cell in Alden’s body ravenously devoured the raw Aetherium. The magical energy forced his physical form to undergo a brutal evolution, breaking past biological limitations without end. Without uttering a single incantation, Alden crawled back from the jaws of death wielding a raw, devastating physical might—sheer brute force capable of shattering reality and snapping the absolute laws of magic. Now, with fists ready to crush destiny itself, he swore to tear down the tyrannical hegemony of the Sovereign Concord, unite the broken remnants of oppressed humanity, and prove to the entire universe why humans are the true apex predators.

One day, Apocalypse came to pass. It started with a fog that engulfed the world. Thick and heavy in the atmosphere, nearly unbreathable to humans and able to corrupt a soul. It killed livestock, pulled buildings to the ground and deadened the soil. After a month, shields were erected over major cities to keep it out, but by then humanity could no longer see the sun. Next, they disappeared - the citizens in shieldless towns and the towns themselves - completely consumed by the fog. And in their place came monsters, beasts that craved human flesh and blood and knew nothing but destruction. In a matter of days, only half of humanity remained. . . but they didn't plan on going down without a fight.

Ethan Cross was no ordinary mercenary. Beneath his skin, something ancient lurked — a fragment of divinity long thought destroyed. He was Aurelian, the Warlord of the Sun, a god exiled from Heaven for daring to defy the divine order. Now reborn as a man, he has no knowledge of his pasty life, his power sealed across six celestial locks, he walks the human world as both weapon and curse. But when a mafia heiress named Elena Vitale saves him from the brink of death, everything changes. In her eyes, he sees the spark he lost — compassion. Humanity. And something dangerous: faith. He was ready to endure anything for her, including the degradation and humiliation her family put him through until he could take it no more and when all six locks sealing his powers were broken, his memory returned, he decided to fight the world back with his divinity and power.

Three years ago, Jason Ward was nothing. A weak, ridiculed dungeon manager. A nobody everyone looked down on. When a catastrophic gate rift threatened countless lives, he made a choice that changed everything.

When Jason appears at her doorstep carrying impossible knowledge and a way to restore her magic, he offers her something no one else can— A second chance. As forgotten heroes rise, corrupt guilds tremble, and hidden truths about the rifts begin to surface, Jason and Aria must fight their way back to the top. Because the man everyone bullied is no longer weak. And the Great Mage is about to reclaim what was stolen from her. Together, they will shake the world.

A few reporters gathered at the carnival of a newly formed kingdom. They started asking the citizens a few questions about their new King. Reporter: What do you think about your new King? Person A: He is a crazy man. Person B: He is a... maniac. Person C: He is a family man. At once everyone around them looked at the Person C as if he had gone crazy. Person C cleared his throat: Well, what I heard is that he wouldn't go crazy until no one speaks a word against his babies. He loves them so much. Everyone thought for a whole two seconds and nodded their heads. Reporter: So, your King has babies? Can you tell us about them? What about your Queen? Person A: They are weird. She is too. Person B: They are... monsters. She is a... Tree. Person C: They are cute and adorable. She is too. Once again everyone around looked at the Person C as if he had gone crazy. He once again cleared his throat: Well, if you want to survive in this kingdom, even if you know what they are, you have to say that they are cute and adorable. Once again everyone nodded their heads after thinking for two seconds. The reporters are confused by their answers. A human and a tree gave birth to monsters? What are they talking about? After asking around for a while, they got the answer: The hate in their King's heart makes the Monster tree grow. At the end of the Carnival the reporters got another news. Person A and B were killed by their King while Person C got a reward from him. Reporters: He really is a Manic tyrant.
