THE CONVICT VENGEANCE: THE PAINFUL BETRAYAL

joseph_akibu
Born into a prestigious Washington, D.C. family yet dismissed as insignificant among its heirs, Ethan Cole abandons power for love. Seeking a quiet life, he moves to Boston and devotes himself to the woman he loves, using his family’s hidden influence to elevate her struggling household into the city’s elite. Secretly married, Ethan believes sacrifice is the foundation of love. He is wrong. When her brother commits a heinous crime, Ethan takes the blame to protect her future, trusting her promise of a wedding upon his release. Two years later, on the day he walks free, she hands him divorce papers instead of vows. Wealth and ambition have changed her—and her betrayal was planned from the start. Ethan was never meant to return. Prison, however, did not break him. Behind bars, Ethan earns the respect of a feared and powerful figure—the former Chairman of the Southern Territory—who trains him, tests him, and names him his successor. Though Ethan once rejected power in pursuit of an ordinary life, betrayal leaves him with nothing to lose. He accepts the Phoenix Ring, a symbol capable of commanding political, financial, and underground forces across the nation. His return to Boston brings public humiliation at the hands of his ex-wife and her new benefactor—until the true power behind the city recognizes Ethan’s worth. In a single reversal, alliances crumble and arrogance is punished. As Boston’s elite gather for a decisive charity gala, Ethan begins his ascent. No longer the man discarded and forgotten, he steps into his destiny—determined to reclaim his dignity and make those who betrayed him face the cost of their choices.

My Soul Created A System: The Defective Noble

Born into one of the most prestigious noble families of the Eldros Empire, Kael Ashborne should have been a prodigy. Instead, he was branded a defect. Physically weak, plagued by a mysterious illness, and unable to wield power like his gifted siblings, Kael grows up neglected—cast aside by his family, ignored by his teachers, and bullied within the academy. In a world where strength defines worth, weakness is unforgivable. Yet what no one knows is that Kael’s body is not failing him by chance. It is failing because his soul is too strong. On the brink of death at fifteen, Kael’s sealed memories awaken—alongside a damaged system created by his own soul in a previous life. Not a gift from the gods. Not a blessing of fate. But a desperate mechanism born solely to keep him alive. With a body that threatens to collapse under his growing soul and a system that enforces cruel limits, Kael must walk a path slower and more dangerous than any other. Each step forward risks destruction. Each mistake could be fatal. Rejected by blood. Surrounded by enemies. Supported by only a single loyal maid. This is not the rise of a chosen hero. This is the survival of a noble deemed unworthy to exist—and the terrifying truth of what happens when a world mistakes restraint for weakness.
