Beneath the streets of New York, the city hums with unseen life. Aidan Wolfe works the hours most people forget, repairing the subway lines that carry millions above his head. Once a firefighter, now a man who keeps his head down, Aidan measures his days in the steady rhythm of trains and the hiss of machinery. He doesn’t talk much. He doesn’t need to. The tunnels don’t ask questions. But the city does — in small ways. In every echo, in every light that flickers back to life, in every stranger who reminds him that silence can only last so long. Beneath the City Lights is a story about endurance, the dignity of work, and the quiet humanity found in forgotten places. It’s not about escape. It’s about learning how to stay.

What is the role of those third-rate villains in games or novels? I asked this question to myself quite a number of times. They don't have major screen time, but some of them have a huge effect on the storyline. And, if one of them hadn't played their role correctly, what would happen to the storyline? It seems like I am going to answer those questions since I became the third-rate villain in an RPG game. ------------------------------0----------------------------------- Chapter length 1000-2000 words.

Aaron is a mechanic who fixes cars, he doesn't have a house to sleep in, so he slept in the cars he couldn't fix. Then he help a bleeding old man out of a wrecked bus. The man wasn't human.

First kill gets him a roach-filled tenement and fists that can punch through brick. Kill fifty gets him a skyline. Kill them all and he becomes the Landlord God. The city has 1,000 landlords on the list. Aaron starts with a wrench and an eviction notice. He plans to own it all.

Nothing good seemed to have happened to Brian Fineman as far as he could remember. He had spent his childhood days at the orphanage when his mom succumbed to the cold hands of death; got adopted by Mrs Johnson at the age of five, and had dropped out of college when he couldn't watch the same woman, the closest person he had close to a family, die. And as if that's not enough, his girlfriend of five years also walked away when she couldn't endure the rigors of his financial struggles. In absolute dismay at his reality, he thought there was nothing more to live for until he met a life changing proposal from Lord Danley. Now, only good things can happen right? Well, that wasn't the case; for Brian's love and loyalty were put to test at each step of the way.

They called him Pauper Benedetti. The boy with three shirts, the charity case no one believed in. But when Marco returned after five silent years—he didn’t come back poor. He came back as the War God, forged in fire, crowned in blood, and wealthy enough to make billionaires tremble. He walked into Oriana Caruso’s engagement wearing a cheap suit and carrying a velvet ring box. He left with a wife. Just not the one anyone expected. Isabella Caruso—the quiet, unwanted sister—was the only person who dared speak the truth for him. While Oriana laughed, while society mocked him, Isabella stood alone. So Marco knelt before her with a pink-diamond necklace worth more than the entire ballroom. “Marry me,” Marco said, voice steady. “Why me?” Isabella whispered. “Because when the world pointed guns, you were the one who didn’t flinch.” Now Isabella wears the necklace society can’t stop staring at—while Oriana glares with burning regret. Because the War God didn’t just return wealthy. He returned powerful. And he’s not done. Billionaires will kneel. Families will fall. The world will learn exactly who Marco Benedetti is.
