The Broken Halo

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?

Project X: the Apex

ORDER OF THE PITCH They took his consciousness without his consent. No warning. No permission. No explanation. When Daniel Adebayo opened his eyes he was inside a facility he'd never seen, surrounded by strangers he'd never met, competing in a tournament he'd never entered. The prize? The chance to become the greatest football coach alive. The cost? Everything. One hundred young minds were selected for this system. Forty have already been broken and sent home — returned to bodies lying in hospital beds while their families sit beside them and cry and receive no answers from the people responsible. The survivors have a name now. The sixty-six. And the next stage — the one they call The Crucible — is designed to reduce that number by half. Six groups. Six constraints. Each one targeting a different weakness. Each one designed not to test what these candidates do best — but to destroy what they do worst. Because the man who built this system understands something most people don't. Pressure doesn't reveal weakness. It reveals truth. Daniel is about to find out what his truth is. He's about to find out what football really means to him — not the answer he'd give in a class, not the answer that sounds right, but the answer that lives underneath everything else. The one that only surfaces when everything is broken and there's nothing left to hide behind. He's also about to find out that the tournament is the least dangerous thing in this facility. Because somewhere in the shadows — in a room that doesn't appear on any schematic, in an organization operating on three continents, in the space between what the people running this project say they want and what they actually want — something much larger is moving. And it has been watching Daniel since before he arrived. In a tournament where knowledge is the weapon — the most dangerous player never touches the ball. ORDER OF THE PITCH For everyone who ever watched a football match and looked at the dugout instead of the pitch. This one is for you.

Heir of the eight gods

In a world where survival is dictated by power, chosen youths are dragged into a brutal trial where monsters roam and death is constant. Among them is Jade—a boy with an unusual affinity for blood and a mind sharpened by deception and instinct. From the moment he steps into the trial, Jade realizes one truth: strength is not given—it is taken. Armed with a mysterious system that allows him to absorb fragments from slain creatures, Jade begins his rise. His body evolves. His abilities grow. And his control over blood, ice, and living vines turns him into something far beyond human. But power comes at a cost. As alliances form and shatter, Jade crosses paths with a deadly assassin known as Silent Slayer—a man who moves through shadows and kills without hesitation. What begins as a clash between two monsters slowly turns into an uneasy alliance when a greater truth emerges: The trial is not just about survival. It is a prison. Hidden deep within ancient ruins lies a secret that binds all participants—a force tied to forgotten gods, rebirth, and a fate that cannot be escaped. And at the center of it all… Is Jade. As his power grows, so does the fear around him. Some call him a savior. Others call him a monster. But one title begins to echo across the trial: Blood Slayer. To escape, Jade must conquer the shadowed world, face ancient guardians, and uncover the truth behind the Eight Gods. Because in this world… Only one can inherit their power.

SOVEREIGN PROTOCOL: Rise Through System

Aren Vale had one year left. One year to escape the cycle of survival jobs, eviction notices, and the slow drowning that came from being gutter-born in the sovereign state of Veltrion. He'd tried before. Dropped out of Aetherium Academy's Ascension Year at seventeen, working nights, sleeping through days, watching his grades slide from promising to invisible. Six months later, he hit bottom in a free clinic with exhaustion and a letter that said: Thirty days. Pay or vacate. Then he woke up again. One month before exams. Body younger. Memories intact. A second chance without explanation. And something else. Something waiting. [SOVEREIGN PROTOCOL INITIALIZING...] A system that doesn't grant power—it reveals capability. No combat levels. No fantasy mana. Just tasks, growth, and the brutal mathematics of impact: help yourself by creating value for others. Learn faster. Decide smarter. Build something that lasts. But Veltrion doesn't reward merit easily. The Spire-lords hoard opportunity. The Lattice of finance and power runs on connections Aren doesn't have. And his "non-cooperative" withdrawal from Aetherium left bridges burned, doors closed, and administrators who remember his name. The system offers structure. Stability. A path from Stage 1 Foundation to Stage 5 Sovereign through knowledge, business, and social impact. What it can't offer is trust. Relationships. The willingness to need someone. Aren has thirty days to re-enroll, rebuild, and prove the statistics wrong—the ones that say ninety-four percent of users abandon the Protocol within ninety days. He's been abandoned before. By institutions. By people. By his own hope. This time, the system stays. The question is whether he can. Progression | Contemporary | Psychological | Drama From gutter to Spire. From invisible to undeniable. From potential to protocol.

My Tribrid System: More than a Monster

{69K words before locked] Fifty years ago, a shower of meteors descended from the skies. With them came a strange, colorful mist that wiped out ten percent of humanity and changed the world forever. Ten years later, the real nightmare began. From beyond the stars came the Abberants — massive, intelligent, ape-like creatures standing over nine meters tall. Stronger, faster, technologically superior, they declared themselves the rightful rulers of Earth and plunged humanity into a war it never asked for. On the brink of extinction, humanity survived only because of one miracle. Meta-Humans. Humans who awakened extraordinary abilities and pushed the Abberants back. Some shared their powers to protect mankind. Others hoarded them, turning strength into bloodline privilege. Ray Dawson was never one of them. At least, not at first. Just a boy with an ordinary life, working in secret to save enough money to buy an ability book and change his fate — without his mother ever knowing. The day his dream was supposed to come true, everything was taken from him. An Abberant attack left Ray with nothing but rage, grief, and a shattered future. Sent to a brutal survival camp meant to forge soldiers, Ray’s life should have ended quietly like countless others. Instead, an accident changed everything. ... [Searching...] [Search Complete] [Ding! Trial completed] [All forms of pained endured by specimen.] [Soul and body compatible with the system] [Congratulations Host! You have successfully awakened the Tribrid System] ... Ray awakens The Tribrid System — a system that does not grant him a single power, but awakens three sentient existences within him, each tied to a different bloodline, each with its own will… and its own strength; Trying to takeover and make him a monster. As Ray fights, grows stronger, levels up, and evolves, he begins to merge these other selves into one body — unlocking power far beyond ordinary Meta-Humans. But the Abberants are only the beginning. Hidden truths, internal human conflicts, and enemies far worse than beasts await beyond the battlefield. This is the story of a boy who lost everything — and chose to become the weapon humanity needs. Will Ray survive the external and internal war raging? Find out more in this book; Evolution. Survival. Ascension.
