Yet, this transformation fills him with self-loathing, leaving him struggling between his new found powers and the terrible downsides. But, in a world where humans are almost as dangerous as the monsters, and trust becomes a luxury, Victor must come to terms with his new identity and the responsibility it brings. What begins as a personal mission grows into a fight for humanity’s survival, forcing Victor to rise as a reluctant hero in a world teetering on the edge of extinction.

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.

The walls still smelled of smoke when Luca opened his eyes. Ash drifted like tired snow, settling on leather boots and broken glass. His hands trembled, stained dark, but he couldn’t say whose blood it was. Outside, sirens wailed like mourning wolves. He stepped into the street, and the city looked back — neon, rain, old hunger. A bartender recognized him and flinched. “Thought you were dead.” Maybe he was. In flashes he saw a rooftop under a red moon. A woman. Rhea. Her voice like warmth through winter: Don’t forget who you are. But he had. Now, every alley whispered his name — some in awe, some in warning. The beast inside stirred, pacing, remembering what he could not. Luca walked on, jaw set, heart heavy. He would find the truth. Even if it tore him open like the moon tears the tide.

From Erwin Wickison I never asked to be here. One moment I was living my life, and the next I was dragged—along with millions of others—into a place ruled by a system that treats us like pieces on a board. Every Game is built to break something, whether it’s a body, a mind, or the small parts of myself I keep pretending are “good.” I’ve watched people die. I’ve watched people change. And I know I’m changing too. I just hope there’s something human left in me by the end… if there’s even an end. WARNING. This book contains smut, psychological decay, moral collapse, human intimacy twisted into survival, and a variety of horrors that do not wait for your permission before sinking into your mind. It will not hold your hand. It will not apologize. And it will not stop once you open it. If you continue, you’re choosing to step into a sequence of events designed to peel apart the comfortable assumptions you rely on to feel “safe.” Some of you will be fascinated. Some of you will be disturbed. Most of you will not remain the same. I’m not here to reassure you. I’m only here to tell you one thing: Whatever you think this is, whatever you think you know… you don’t. And once you begin, you can’t go back. — Welcome to the Games

Eighteen-year-old Tama had just set off from the market, buying the goods that his older brother usually did in the morning. But something struck him on that ordinary morning: his motorbike crashed, he almost die alone. No human passed by to offer help. Instead, a green-eyed owl came and said cryptic, weird messages before Tama returned to the actual world. At first, Tama thought it was a dream. The unemployment status he had caused him to follow the vague messages, only to realized that all he experienced may not be a dream. The myth of supernatural tied green eyes is so strong that it even extends to the social negativity of green-colored contacts in this subrub. Telling everyone what he experienced in the suburb when people frowned upon those with supernatural ties? It would be harder to navigate after Tama discovered that it was real. Now, how is he going to use it? Considering Tama's unemployment status and nosy neighbors plus friends that could be heard from half a mile, well....

Adrian Kaine was once the deadliest operative in Shadow Unit, a black-ops division buried so deep in the government that most agents never lived long enough to speak of it. But when a mission in Kargath Province turned into a massacre, Adrian became the sole survivor, then the government’s most wanted traitor. His squad was slaughtered. Evidence was planted. His name was erased. And those who orchestrated the betrayal made sure he was declared dead. They miscalculated. Eighteen months later, Adrian resurfaces as a ghost in the ruins of his old headquarters, hunting for the truth buried beneath the ashes. But he is not the only one searching. Marcus Hale, his former teammate and supposed friend, now leads a covert kill team tasked with eliminating him. Above Marcus sits Colonel Mason Kade, the official who signed the order that condemned Adrian’s entire squad. And watching all of them from the shadows is a faceless mastermind known only by a single encrypted codename: Cipher. As Adrian follows a trail of classified leaks, dead operatives, and impossible coincidences, he uncovers a horrifying secret: a covert plan known as the Ashen Protocol, designed to rewrite the balance of global power—using bodies like his as the foundation stones. But the deeper he digs, the more the truth twists around him. Old allies hide new agendas. Enemies speak with familiar voices. And the real traitor may be closer than he has ever imagined. Hunted by governments, mercenaries, and a ghost from his past, Adrian must become something colder than a soldier and deadlier than a weapon. He must become the nightmare they tried to bury. And this time… he’s not the one running.

Ethan Valor was once humiliated, mocked, and discarded by those closest to him—his wife, Victoria, and her powerful family, the Lornes. Branded weak and incompetent, he was fired from the family conglomerate and replaced by Victoria’s ex-boyfriend, billionaire Damian Cross. Everyone thought they had stripped him of his potential… but they had only awakened a relentless fire within him. Retreating into obscurity, Ethan quietly rebuilt his empire, investing in technologies, acquiring strategic assets, and amassing wealth at a pace no one could anticipate. While Victoria and her family celebrated his absence, their empire slowly became unknowingly dependent on the very man they had scorned. When Ethan returns, he is no longer the meek man they knew—he is a trillionaire, untouchable, and commanding power that stretches across industries and nations. The Lornes and Victoria come begging, but Ethan’s revenge is precise: he buys out their companies, ruins his enemies, and demonstrates that humiliation is the catalyst for unstoppable greatness. From Ashes to Empire is a story of patience, vengeance, and ultimate triumph—a testament to intelligence, strategy, and unyielding ambition.
