After being betrayed by his fiancée and framed for embezzlement, a young tech genius discovers an AI “system” that connects directly to his mind giving him access to secret corporate data, personal information, and predictive algorithms.

“Why, Leticia?” “Because you are a water boy and a lowly janitor. You can never give me what George can.” Those are the words that played over and over in Jake’s head, crushing his heart and soul. Ridiculed, trampled and scoffed upon, none as devastating as the betrayal of the woman he planned on spending the rest of his life with. With his head low and a thick skin, Jake’s rise from ashes is a spectacular sight that puts him on top of the food chain. What will he do when those who tormented him are now at his mercy?

Kai Gibson has always been ordinary—too ordinary for a city like Harborview, where power, influence, and fear rule every street corner. After losing his father under mysterious circumstances and struggling under crushing debt, Kai is pushed to the edge of survival. But everything changes the night he’s ambushed behind an abandoned mall and a strange surge of energy awakens inside him. With the rare ability known as Tactical Insight, Kai begins to see the world differently—patterns, threats, weaknesses, pathways to victory even when the odds are against him. Suddenly, the once-weak young man becomes a rising force in Harborview’s underworld. But Kai’s evolution comes with a price. Every step forward drags him deeper into a web of enemies: street gangs, corrupt elites, hidden organizations, and people he once trusted. Betrayals strike from unexpected places, and Kai learns that the attack that awakened his power wasn’t random at all—it was planned. Now trapped between shadowy forces that want to control him and others who want him dead, Kai must level up faster than his enemies expect. Each chapter pushes him through higher stakes: • deadly ambushes • shocking betrayals • growing supernatural abilities • strategic face-slapping comebacks • climbing from the lowest rung of society to a position of unstoppable strength As Kai climbs, he uncovers the truth behind his father’s death, the origins of his new power, and a hidden war brewing beneath the city’s neon lights. To survive, he must rise. To win, he must become more than human. And to uncover the truth, he must be willing to face the darkness inside—and the monsters hiding in plain sight. Harborview will remember the name Kai Gibson… whether it wants to or not.

In the Empire of Solara, magic is biology. You are either born with a "Core," or you are "Dross"—worthless commoners used as disposable labor. But Drogo Vance is worse than Dross; he is a "Null." His body acts as a magical void, a condition that makes him a pariah, useful only as a living sponge to absorb toxic magical waste for the highborn. Drogo endures the agonizing poison of the nobility’s excess magic for one reason: to buy medicine for his dying mother and shield his gifted younger sister, Elara, from the Academy’s predatory recruitment. But when an arrogant Duke’s son uses Drogo for target practice and pushes him into the Chasm of Forgotten Gods—a pit where raw magic goes to die—Drogo does not perish. In the crushing dark, his Null physiology resonates with an ancient, sealed entity. [System Initialization: The Abyssal Archive Awakened.] [Host Attribute 'Null' detected. Conversion: Infinite Capacity.] [Legacy Unlocked: The God of Entropy.] Drogo returns not as a mage who borrows power, but as a predator who devours it. He can strip a Grand Wizard of their magic with a touch and turn their own spells into dust. The "Good Commoner" died in the pit. The "God-Slayer" has risen, and he is very, very hungry.

There are a handful of people called Twin-Souled, able to exist on two worlds at once — Earth and a parallel realm called Odbeara. Simon Ward is 19 and dying in an ICU. Then he wakes up on Odbeara as Symon Wardreth, an arrogant noble with unlimited potential. But Simon isn't Twin-Souled. He's a Mirror Walker, a calamity-grade anomaly, with one soul bleeding across two worlds at once. Every spell he casts borrows against his own lifespan. Every day he survives, the two worlds bleed closer together. Only his death stops it. Simon isn't ready to die. Not while his little sister is waiting for him at home. So he goes looking for the God Pearl, the only thing that can split his soul before it kills them all. Standing in his way is Emperor Callibus, a Mirror Walker himself once, now a demon lord who watched his own family rot on Earth while he was trapped in Odbeara. He doesn't want to destroy the worlds. He wants to fuse them, and Simon's unraveling soul is the spark he needs. What does a 19-year-old do when Earth wants to pull the plug, Odbeara wants him dead, and the only way to save either is to tear himself in half?

Aeris was born the weakest boy in Stonevale. No magic. No status. No future. Only one thing gave his life meaning, his little sister, Alba, the sickly girl he had spent years protecting. Then the Empire came for her. They called Alba a Sacred Vessel. The villagers called it an honor. Aeris knew it was a death sentence. He fought. He begged. He even turned against the people he once called family. But none of it was enough. So when Alba was placed on the altar, Aeris made one final choice. If the ritual demanded a sacrifice… it would take him instead. Something answered. Something that should have remained buried. When Aeris opened his eyes, the ritual chamber was destroyed, Alba was missing, and a strange voice appeared before him: [Congratulations, Host.] [The Demon Core has chosen you.] Now Aeris has power. More power than he ever dreamed of. But there is something the voice doesn’t tell him. Every time Aeris uses that power, something inside him changes. And the Empire isn’t hunting him because he ruined their ritual. They’re hunting him because of what woke up inside him. With Alba gone and seven Imperial Mages standing between him and the truth, Aeris begins a bloody hunt for the people who tried to sacrifice his sister. But the deeper he goes, the more terrifying the questions become. Why was Alba really chosen? What exactly is the Demon Core? And why does the mysterious System seem to know things about Alba that even Aeris doesn't? Because the truth waiting at the end of his journey may be far worse than death. Alba was never the sacrifice. She was the key. And Aeris? He may be the monster that was created to open the door.
