The Retired Young Mercenary Is Secretly a Billionaire

They call him Ghost. A name whispered across battlefields, criminal syndicates, intelligence networks, and the darkest corners of the underworld. For seventeen years, war was the only home he knew. Then, after another flawless mission, his commander gives him an order more terrifying than any battlefield ever could. Retire. Go home. Live a normal life. At twenty-two, Ghost disappears. And Miles Sterling returns. Armed with an old letter and fragments of childhood memories, Miles travels to Star Harbor searching for the family he lost seventeen years ago. He expects answers. Instead, he finds a mother who never stopped mourning him, younger siblings who don't know they have an older brother, and a world where guns, knives, and killing intent are considerably less useful than figuring out how to be someone's son again. But Miles didn't survive seventeen years in the shadows by being ordinary. Behind the quiet young man covered in scars lies Ghost, one of the world's deadliest mercenaries. Behind Ghost lies something even fewer people know. A billionaire who built his fortune from the shadows. And behind even that... There are identities Miles buried long ago. As he tries to build the peaceful life stolen from him, the past begins finding its way back. Old enemies emerge. Forgotten names return. Powerful families recognize him. Governments know more than they should. And secrets surrounding his father's death and his own disappearance slowly begin to surface. The problem is, Miles no longer has only himself to protect. He has a mother. Two Cute little siblings. A small family. And eventually, people he would burn the world down to keep safe. Miles Sterling retired because he was tired of war. Unfortunately for everyone standing in his way... Ghost never forgot how to fight.

Reborn as the Genius Son of the Richest Family

After 600+ chapters, here’s what to expect. First of all, throughout this novel, I have learned and improved in my story-making ability. Sadly though, you could only see this improvement about several hundred chapters in, like in the upper 300s and early 400s. And this change comes before a story arc that is bad compared to my recent story arcs. You may feel inclined to stop before then. You may feel inclined to stop even before you reach a hundred chapters. You may think, “Oh, there’s no action, it’s boring, and everything is easy for our MC.” But if you persist, you will see the true vision I have for the novel. Kingdom building, action-packed, and enough slice-of-life to warm your hearts into overdrive. If you hear the words, DIVA, AUBILITIES, and METROPOLIS, then you are about to enter, what I think, is my best major story arcs I have written so far. The Metropolis Arc is peak. Here’s what to expect: — Action: Yes. There’s a new and exciting change in the latter chapters that allowed for a lot of action. — Kingdom Building: Absolutely. I’ll admit that in the earlier chaps, there’s a lot of need for improvement. But I think that I was able to remedy most of them in the recent chaps. — Slice-of-life: Yes, sir. If you loved the novel for its slice-of-life, then you can rest assured that it would continue on even in the most latest chapters. — Romance: This one, I’ll admit, needs a lot of improvement. But it’s because they are still kids in the novel so I still stray away from something truly romantic. However, romance in this novel could be attributed to the romance of family and of friendships for now. I hope that I was able to convince you to start reading my novel. If you read it before and want to start reading again, you can message me on Discord for questions regarding plot points, characters, or anything you forgot and I can remind you. ——————— Michael was suddenly reborn into a another world by a God because of an accidental death. To make up for this fact, the God gave him another life in a fantasy world of swords, magic, and monsters. Unfortunately, it turned out that the world he was reborn into was still stuck in the medieval times. It didn't have electricity, it didn't have proper plumbing, and it didn't have any technology that he was so used to back in his old world. But thanks to the God's blessing and an AI assistant called ChatJK1, he was given the power to MAKE his life comfortable. Slowly, Michael transforms this new world into a place even better than his previous one by taking ideas from the modern world and putting it in this world, with the added bonus of magic.

Villain’s Evolution: Investing in My Minions Yields Crazy Returns!

Victor never expected to wake up inside the world of a story he already knew. Worse, he didn’t transmigrate into the protagonist. He became Victor Alves, the arrogant only son of Duke Alves, a powerful noble heir studying at Starlight Royal Academy and, more importantly, one of the villains destined to become a stepping stone for the original protagonist, Ryan Carter. Victor knows how this story is supposed to end. Ryan will rise. The geniuses surrounding him will become monsters who shake the continent. The Alves family will collapse. And within a year, Victor himself will die. Fortunately, the moment Victor accepts his new reality, he awakens the Investment System. The system allows him to see the hidden potential, needs, talents, and possible futures of those around him. By investing gold, equipment, potions, skills, bloodlines, cultivation resources, and even opportunities into suitable targets, Victor can change their destinies and receive multiplied returns. A struggling swordsman with the potential to become a legendary Sword Saint? Invest. An overlooked servant hiding a terrifying bloodline? Invest. A future powerhouse destined to die before ever realizing her potential? Invest. While the empire’s nobles compete for geniuses who have already proven themselves, Victor quietly gathers those the world has ignored and turns them into monsters. And every time his followers grow stronger, Victor’s rewards become even more absurd. By the time the great families realize that the insignificant people surrounding Victor have become generals, Sword Saints, assassins, and legendary mages, it is already too late. Because Victor was never simply raising subordinates....He was building an empire of his own.

BLVCK WOLVES

"You can't force everyone to have good taste." ┐(´ー`)┌ - Greed **BLVCK WOLVES book 3, Arc IV "RIOT GANG" is now live** He is a Sin in a world of magic, and his crew is broken as f*ck. Greed is the acting captain of a bottom-tier Guild called the Black Wolf Knights—or rather, the Black Wolves, and he has no magic. In fact, he rejects it. Literally. With a peculiar name, a mysterious power, and a group of unbridled mavericks with insane abilities, Greed and the Black Wolves are constantly caught in the middle of tyranny scheming in the shadows. Whether it be in their own Kingdom, or beyond it. All the Black Wolves ever want is to live a life of meaninglessness and debauchery. But as the world conflicts, corruptness rises, and war among the nations brew, they always seem to be the last line of defense… Ironically. On top of all this, he is haunted by a past he cannot remember. His only clue, is a girl in the sky… "Find me…" she says. And when he does, his—and everyone else’s—world spirals into chaos. Expect: - Black Clover inspired with JJK abilities, Final Fantasy world, and Vox Machina vibes - NO AI writing - NOT isekai, transmigration, evolution, system, or cultivation. Go look for that elsewhere - OP MC from the start with no magic [NOT ANTI-MAGIC], progressively gets even more OP - Harem relationships in the beginning, moderate fanservice, mild sex scenes (hate me), and strong romance subplot by the end of Arc 1 with only one girl - Classic slow-paced story with character development, backstories, perspectives from multiple characters, stats and ability descriptions, intricate plot, worldbuilding, and of course tons of fighting - A long, ongoing story Written and conjured by J.N. Marlow. All rights reserved. © 2025 J.N. Marlow.

Strongest Mage with the Lust system

[ Warning: Mature content R-18 ] Is death a new begining? For Max, it was. Max, a twenty-year-old virgin, got attacked by a bear in forest and died an untimely death. Fortunately for him... that wasn't the end to his story. In the next instant, he found himself transmigrated into the body of a noble's youngest son in a world full of Magic, wonders and... beautiful women. As if God was making up for his untimely death, he also got a system -The Lust System. "I can become stronger just by having sex?" Join the journey of Max and watch he have the time of his life and become the strongest mage the world had ever seen before. ______________________________ [Things to be noted] 1. From the title, you should've guessed it already but let me tell you the story will be filled with many sexual adventures. So... you are welcome to enjoy them..... 2. However... don't expect MC to have sexual relations with every woman he meets. I'll be focusing on the story, and would 'Try' not to blindly throw sex scenes left and right. 3. Most importantly, this is my first time writing so the the quality of first 50 or so may be a bit lacking (But it would cause you no problem if a few minor errors don't bother you). 4. It is a slow paced story. If you want everything to be explosive and fast, maybe this isn't for you. Important Note: If you enjoy the story then don't forget to vote your GTs, Power stones and also if you can, send some GIFTS too. This poor soul would appreciate it. Also check out My other work: [ Rise of the Strongest War God ] & [ My perverted devil system ] Happy reading~ ________________
