Under The Oak Tree Riftan Pov

I am Alsean Zeffran. That day, the doctor informed me that my heart had only six months left. Before I could even digest that bitter reality, the world crushed me further. I was detained at the hospital because I had no money, brutally dumped by Laura, the woman I loved, and then fired without pay by the project foreman under a heavy New York downpour. Penniless, hopeless, and carrying a body that grew weaker by the minute, I found a mysterious old man dying in a street gutter. At my lowest point, I still chose to extend a helping hand. I cared for him until he drew his last breath. In return, he left me a dull black ring. As I lamented my fate and slipped the cold ring onto my ring finger, a ghostly voice suddenly echoed inside my head: "Welcome, Heir to the Ring of Prosperity." Now, held in my hand is a mysterious power bringing boundless wealth. Will I be able to rise, turn my fate around, and silence those who once looked down on me, or does this ring hide a dark secret that demands a price far higher than my own life?

They thought the past was dead. They were wrong. When Dr. Adrian Cole discovers an extinct plant growing in the forest outside Evergreen City, he knows something impossible is happening. But the plant is only the beginning. Soon, creatures that vanished thousands of years ago begin returning, and a terrifying warning left behind by his father reveals that the danger will grow worse under the full moon. Nobody believes Adrian. Not the authorities, not the scientists, and certainly not the people who think his father's experiments were nothing but madness. With time running out, Adrian joins forces with four teenagers who share his passion for science. Their search for answers leads them to a restricted scientific archive, missing research pages, and a secret powerful enough to change everything they know about the past. Their only hope lies in an unfinished time machine and the truth behind his father's mysterious disappearance. But as the creatures grow more aggressive and Evergreen City edges toward destruction, Adrian discovers that the past has secrets no one was meant to uncover. To save humanity, he must finish what his father started before the world he knows becomes extinct.

In a world where the "System" grants incredible powers, Silas is branded an Aberrant—a cosmic mistake. His "Paradoxical Path" doesn't give him magic or strength. It gives him impossible, humiliating quests. Get pecked by five chickens. Let a squirrel steal your lunch. Get slapped in public by the Guild's golden boy. Everyone in the backwater village of Oakhaven laughs at the boy with the useless System. But with every absurd challenge completed, Silas earns a hyper-specific, seemingly worthless reward: unshakeable heels, the ability to retrieve stolen items, legs that can't be knocked down. When the arrogant Stormcaller Sir Alaric and his elite squad become trapped by a dungeon's monstrous vines, they're saved not by a mighty warrior, but by a "useless" Aberrant throwing a rock in the most inexplicable way possible. Forced into the Guild's most despised division—Branch C, "Miscellaneous Problems"—Silas must now navigate a hierarchy that despises him, using his growing arsenal of bizarre abilities to solve problems no one else can (or wants to): a cursed oven, a whispering river, a cat in a tree guarded by an axe-wielding hermit. All while fending off the schemes of a noble rival determined to prove he's just a lucky fool. For Silas, every impossible quest is a stepping stone. Every humiliation is a hidden strength. And the Guild is about to learn that the greatest threat to the status quo isn't a mighty hero, but the village idiot who sees a different set of rules entirely.

Ethan's POV I was the husband everyone loved to hate. For three years, my wife's family called me a useless parasite who had married their daughter for money. Even my wife, Sophia, eventually believed them. Then, at a family dinner, she placed divorce papers in front of me. "You have nothing to offer me, Ethan." I signed without fighting. She thought I had lost. She had no idea I had been waiting for this day. That same night, my grandfather died and left me an inheritance worth hundreds of billions of dollars. I wasn't a poor husband. I was the hidden heir to the largest private investment empire in the country. But the inheritance came with a shocking condition. I had to uncover the truth behind my father's death. And every clue led back to the Grant family. The family that had humiliated me. The family that had destroyed my father's company. The family that had convinced the woman I loved to abandon me. So I returned to the business world with one goal: Destroy them. But then I discovered something I never expected. Sophia had been lied to. Her father wasn't the only person hiding secrets. And the more I investigated, the more I realized that my grandfather's death might not have been natural either. Now Sophia wants me back. Her family wants my mercy. And the people who murdered my father want me dead. They thought they had thrown away a worthless husband. They didn't know they had created the most dangerous billionaire they would ever face.

In a decaying world ruled by mega-medical corporations, medicine has become a weapon. Cybernetic healers—known as Medarchs—can rewrite DNA, manipulate nanobots, and decide who lives or dies for the highest bidder. Raymond Briggs, once a prodigy under the powerful Helix Dominion, is betrayed by his mentor, framed for bio-terrorism, and cast into the BioWaste Districts, the toxic slums of Neo-London. There, on the brink of death, a dormant implant in his neural core activates: the Forbidden Healer System, a sentient nanotech interface that offers him unimaginable power. At first, Raymond uses it to survive. Then… to fight back. But as he heals and kills, the System evolves, granting him skills that blur the line between restoration and annihilation. Every use extracts a toll: pieces of his empathy, his humanity, his soul.

However, a billionaire business alliance changed everything. Cast out on a stormy night and struck nearly to death by his wife’s lover, a horrifying miracle occurred instead. That fatal collision shattered the seal on his soul. Raymond was not a mere mortal drifter—he was an Eternal God of War awakened from a long slumber. Now, the ruler has returned. With an ancient system inside his mind and millions of secret mercenary troops under his command, Raymond is ready to strangle Manhattan’s business network. Who will survive when the God of War begins overturning the chessboard of the financial world?
