Tvtropes Last Man Standing

Dean Harrington died betrayed and broken and killed by robotes, only to wake in a future pod, half man, half machine: Project HAIO, with trillions in his account and a mission from a dying resistance: stop World War X before it begins. To do it, he must snatch a woman from a merger that births the singularity, crash a proposal, seize a lab, and win the heart of the one woman destined to bear humanity's last hope. But a rival operative, Victor Kane, Project Shadow, resurrected like him, has returned from death with the same power and opposite orders. One wants to save humanity. The other wants to end it. In a war already bleeding into the present, only one can write the future. And neither may survive the cost.

Darren Wayne has never had much… just his old bicycle, a few coins from delivery runs, and a heart full of love for his girlfriend, Clara. He believes love is enough… until the night he finds out it isn’t. After working tirelessly to surprise Clara for her birthday, Darren takes one more delivery to earn extra cash — a delivery that leads him straight to a mansion, and straight into a nightmare. Behind the bedroom door, he finds the last person he ever expected — Clara — tangled in the arms of Adrian Blake, the richest man on campus. In one heartbreaking moment, Darren’s world shatters. The girl he worked, hoped, and sacrificed for has betrayed him in the cruelest way possible.

The bullet tore through a man's throat, and Dante Cross didn't even blink. Dante is the finest cleaner the Agency has ever created—a ghost who erases bodies, witnesses, and entire operations without leaving a trace. Loyal to the system that shaped him, he believes one last mission will earn his freedom. He's wrong. The Agency never lets its weapons walk away. When a routine dead drop ends with two trusted contacts slaughtered inside a safehouse only he knew about, Dante realizes someone is erasing his trail while he's still alive. The betrayal isn't from an enemy but from someone who knows his real name, his retirement plan, and the location of the only person he still cares about. The truth is devastating: the order came from inside, and his own handler has marked him for death. As Dante digs deeper, he discovers his final assignment is far bigger than a cartel cleanup. It's the transfer of seven high-value prisoners who hold secrets capable of exposing a shadow network spanning three continents. If the prisoners disappear, the truth dies with them. If the operation fails, the organization vanishes into the shadows forever. Dante is the only man who knows both the transfer route and how the network truly operates. Then comes the final revelation. His handler hasn't just betrayed him—he has been manipulating him for years. Every mission, every kill, every "clean" operation was never about justice but about testing and perfecting a living weapon. Dante was never the Agency's cleaner. He was its experiment. Now hunted by the organization that created him, Dante must uncover the truth, protect the last person he loves, and survive long enough to destroy the system before it erases him forever. The countdown has already begun.

Max Delacroix laughed back in anger and mocked that it is well known that there is no heir in the Houston family, so where would a young master like a beggar come from?

“Do you know who he is?” Aria whispered, her voice trembling. Her father scoffed. “Some nouveau riche fool trying to play king.” The man across the table smiled calm, sharp, untouchable. The room fell silent when he spoke. “It’s been a while, Mr. Elston.” The older man froze. Aria’s glass slipped from her hand. The name echoed in her head like thunder. Mikael. He leaned back, eyes unreadable. “Last time we met, you called me a waste bin.” “M-Mikael…” she stammered, her face pale. “Mr. Dray,” corrected the host beside him—her father’s new business rival. “My son-in-law and the current CEO of ValenCore Holdings.” The silence cracked like glass. Mikael’s smile deepened, just enough to sting. “Don’t worry. I’m not here to rebuild anything for you.” He paused, letting the words sink in. “I’m just here to watch what’s left… fall apart.”

Mercy is a luxury when currency of survival is lifespan. Crackle . . . hiss . . . boom . . . rain falls on corpses.

His shaking hands hold a divine artefact - The Eye of Judgement. His body decays. His breath comes out in broken gasps - huff, cough, splat. And then… betrayal. The only family he's ever had - his sister, Li Xue - looks coldly on as she drives the dagger deeper into his chest. Thud… hiss… crackle… She calls him "nothing but an adopted mistake." A man named Yang Xun, brilliantly like an idol of deceit, thanks him mockingly. That's when Li Wei realises - the world doesn't reward love. It rewards survival. When he dies, something ancient is roused inside The Eye of Judgement. And when he opens his eyes again - it's 2025, the day the god forsaken game, LYTABern, descends upon Earth.
