Under The Oak Tree Riftan Pov

THE GOD OF THUNDER The night Egba Kingdom drowned in blood, a five-year-old crown prince vanished into the storm. Omoba Omogun Ogunwole, heir to the throne, watched his parents—King Oluwole and Queen Titilayo—betrayed and murdered by their own chiefs. Presumed dead, the child escaped into the mountains with a loyal servant, where fate answered his grief. For twenty years, Omogun trained under seven ancient spirits, learning not only the power of thunder, but the price of justice, humility, and restraint. When he returns to Egba Kingdom, his uncle—now a tyrant king—rules through fear and corruption. Hiding his identity, Omogun walks among his people as a nobody by day… and as the masked God of Thunder by night. As he punishes evil, protects the weak, and builds a secret army of ten thousand empowered warriors, enemies close in. Dark divination whispers his survival. Betrayers resurface. Love tests his heart when he is rejected for poverty—and later cherished for who he truly is. When the storm finally breaks, the truth will be revealed, crowns will fall, and justice will strike like lightning. In a world where power corrupts, can a man chosen by thunder remain human?

Kyle had never had it easy. Orphaned young and bullied by everyone around him, he pushed through each day for one reason only—his little sister. She was critically ill, and the only thing that could save her was the legendary, impossibly expensive 'Moonlight Potion'. His one shot? Becoming a Hunter. With real power, he could finally rise above, earn enough credits, and save the only person who mattered. Everything depended on his eighteenth birthday—the day he would awaken his talent. The day everything was supposed to change. And it did... just not the way he’d hoped. While others awakened fire, shadow, and lightning... Kyle got 'Bubble'. A talent that didn't exist in any known class ranking—from mighty SS to pathetic F. Unrecorded. Unrated. Unwanted. Useless. Weak. Pathetic. That’s what they called him. No guild would take him. No party would have him. But Kyle? He just smiled. Because they didn’t understand. Not yet. 'It’s not about the talent you get. It’s about what you do with it.' Let them mock him. Let them call him useless. Armed with an unknown power and an unbreakable will, Kyle walked into the dungeon alone. The world might see him as nobody for now, but he would prove that even an unranked talent could rise—and that the underdog everyone cast aside might just become a legend.

Marcus Kane was supposed to stay gone.

To her family, Alexander Chen is nothing more than a polite, struggling marketing coordinator — lucky their daughter hasn’t left him yet. To his wife, Victoria, he’s a convenient placeholder while she laughs a little too loudly at another man’s jokes and slips away for “late meetings.” But Alex has secrets. Behind the patient smile lies a mind sharper than steel and a fortune far greater than anyone suspects. For three years, he’s played the role of the obedient husband, enduring the humiliation, the betrayals, the lies. Now, the mask is coming off. As Victoria falls deeper into David Morrison’s orbit, Alex prepares to show them both what choices cost. Love may have made him weak. Betrayal is about to make him unstoppable. Marriage was her game. War will be his.

"Ciccio," she spoke, taking a purposeful step forward. "In the realm of business, there exists a strategy known as 'the hostile takeover.' It revolves around the idea of 'if you can't beat them, buy them.' Since you are dissatisfied with the way this hospital is managed and how the staff treat patients, rather than struggling to pay the bills amidst difficulty, why not consider acquiring the hospital itself?"

Born and bred in the heart of Dansoman, Tero Mandem never had a silver spoon—just street smarts, scars, and survival. Abandoned by his father and raised by a market woman mother, Tero grew up in the cracks of Accra’s toughest corners: Lapaz, Mataheko, and the deep ends of Dancity. By seventeen, he had made his name feared. By twenty-one, he was leading a gang, living fast, and chasing fame through music, money, and madness. With his boys — Problem, O Don, O Von, Lovelone, and Biggie — they ran the blocks like kings without crowns. Studio by day, street by night, they were untouchable. Tero’s voice carried weight both on mic and in chaos. But the life came with a price — blood, betrayal, broken trust, and brushes with death. Fame wasn’t enough. The cheers grew quieter. The shadows got louder. When the streets turned cold and everything he built started falling apart, a moment came — in a police cell, heart racing, blood on his hands — where Tero saw more than the mess. He saw a man he didn’t recognize. And then, through an encounter he never expected, he found light. TERO MANDEM is a story of grime and grace. It’s the journey of a young Ghanaian man torn between power and purpose, sin and salvation, chaos and Christ. From backstreets to backstabbing, from betrayal to the Bible, Tero’s transformation is raw, real, and revolutionary. This isn’t just a gang story. It’s a redemption anthem. And when the street speaks, it speaks through scars — but also through the healing that follows.
