Laid Off at 27, My Life Finally Got a Dashboard

The email came at 9:07 a.m. HR CC’d half the floor. One line did the killing: “Due to restructuring…” At 27, Alex had done everything “right”—top university, brutal internships, swallowed overtime like vitamins. Still got cut like excess fat. Rent due. Girlfriend silent. Parents pretending not to worry. That night, while doom-scrolling job boards, a translucent panel blinked into existence. CAREER SYSTEM INITIALIZED. Market Value: 42 Resilience: 31 Hidden Potential: LOCKED Alex laughed. Then cried. Then noticed something terrifying: every rejection email dropped his Market Value by 1. Every hour spent actually learning a skill—SQL, pitching, cold emails—nudged it back up. Slowly. Honestly. No bullshit. For the first time, effort had receipts. He realizes the world isn’t unfair—it’s opaque. Managers don’t “feel” your grind; they measure outcomes. The system doesn’t lie. Skip a day? Numbers stall. Push through humiliation and silence? XP ticks in real time. As Alex rebuilds—freelancing, failing interviews, getting ghosted—the numbers climb. Recruiters who ignored him start replying. Old colleagues look confused. When his Market Value crosses 70, headhunters start calling like it’s magic. But the real shock comes when Hidden Potential unlocks, revealing a stat he never knew existed—and a past choice that permanently capped it. This isn’t a comeback fantasy. It’s a manual for surviving modern work without losing your spine.

Bound to the enemy Alpha

Warning Mature content - Rated 18+ I was born cursed—an omega in a world that worships strength. My pack despises me. My stepmother and stepsister humiliate me. The only one who’s ever shown me love is my father… but even his power couldn’t stop the treaty that bound me to enemy territory. To survive, I must attend Noctos Dominium Academy, a prestigious school ruled by the most dangerous pack in the region. And at its heart is him— Damien Blackwood, the enemy Alpha’s son. Cold. Ruthless. Tattooed sin wrapped in grey eyes that burn with violence. On my first day, he pulled me out of my car, slammed me against the hood, and promised he’d break me. I should hate him. And I do. But hatred has a taste, a burn in the veins that feels too much like desire. And no matter how much I fight it, his presence sparks something I can’t control. As tensions rise between our packs, more threats surface—hidden enemies, dark secrets, and shadows that want me dead. Three new boys enter my life: Kieran Vale – the golden rebel with a sharp tongue and dangerous smile. Flirtatious, reckless, yet with secrets buried deep. Malakai Draven – quiet, haunting, a genius with a tragic past. His intensity draws me in even when I try to resist. Lucien Thalor – A cold, mysterious prince with silver eyes and hidden depths. Each of them offers a different kind of danger, a different kind of temptation. Yet all roads lead back to Damien—the one I should never want, the one who embodies everything I was raised to despise. Trapped between duty and desire, love and hate, betrayal and loyalty, and an unknown enemy threatening the lands, I have to decide: Will I burn for the enemy Alpha, or will his hatred consume me whole? This isn’t just school. This is war. And I am the prize at the center of it all

I Die to Rise: Resurrection System

"My name's Kurt Manchester. I'm either the unluckiest bastard alive, or someone up there's got a sick sense of humor. Either way, I'm billing them for therapy." Kurt Manchester lives for four things and four things only: Sex, Cigarettes, Money, and Booze. As a bottom-tier F-rank hunter, he's somehow nailed the way to three out of four. His carefree life ends when he gets himself killed in the lowest-ranked dungeon. But as Lady Luck would have it, that wasn't the end for Kurt. Thanks to a cosmic paperwork screw-up, his soul ends up in Limbo's Shore instead of the afterlife. The Keeper of Endings offers him a deal: the Resurrection System (die, gain a new ability, repeat) in exchange for his memories. Kurt takes it. He probably should have read the fine print. Now he must claw his way up the power hierarchy from F-rank to the legendary SSS-tier with the help of a guild packed with unhinged lunatics, while piecing together who he really was, and dodging cosmic horrors that make dungeon monsters look like house pets. Easy. Turns out dying repeatedly is the ultimate power-leveling strategy. Stabbed? Fire powers. Poisoned? Immunity. Crushed? Teleportation. The problem is what the deaths attract. This time, he's getting all four obsessions back. No matter how many times he has to die to do it. Death is supposed to be the end. For Kurt Manchester, it's just the beginning. "My talent's for lying, cheating, drinking. For sticking the knife in when people least expect it. Then walking away with a smile and a wave before they even realize they're bleeding. I suppose I should add dying to the resumé now." [CONTENT WARNING: Contains graphic violence, explicit sexual content, profanity, and dark humor. 18+] #System #Resurrection #Harem #MemoryLoss #Guild #Dungeon #Dark Comedy #Comedy #Weaktostrong

A femboy descent into a world of slaughter

In a world where dungeon breaks tear reality apart and hunters rise or fall by rank and blood, Lunaria Vale should have been invisible. Reincarnated into a fragile body with moonlight-colored, waist-length hair and a beauty so delicate it invites ridicule, Lunaria never awakened like other hunters. At eighteen, he survives on the lowest rung of society as a dungeon cleaner—scrubbing blood and corpses from places others fear to remember. He is underestimated, dismissed, and constantly placed one step from death. Until death answers back. When a group of F-rank monsters corner him inside a ruined dungeon, Lunaria survives by instinct alone—killing them with nothing but a knife and refined movement that feels more like dance than combat. Half-dead, drowning in blood and pain, he awakens not as a chosen hero—but as something far more dangerous. A System appears. Commanding. Nagging. Instructive. And unsettlingly caring. From that moment on, Lunaria walks a path no hunter understands. He never “awakens” like others—he evolves. His fighting style becomes elegant, fluid, overwhelmingly feminine, each movement precise enough to kill without waste. When he removes the ribbon that binds his hair, his lethality sharpens, beauty turning into inevitability. As dungeon breaks escalate and Hunters College becomes a crucible for survival, Lunaria draws attention he never sought. Men—hunters, instructors, even demons—find themselves shaken by his presence, drawn toward him with emotions they cannot explain. Some adore him. Some obsess over him. Some challenge him. All of them underestimate him. Behind his soft voice and graceful manner lies a blade that does not hesitate. Monsters who mistake him for weakness die beautifully. Demons who infiltrate human strongholds fall to his sword. And every kill feeds a system that watches, guides, and demands more. In a world ruled by brute force and arrogance, Lunaria Vale proves a terrifying truth: Elegance can be deadlier than cruelty. Beauty can end worlds. And the most dangerous hunter is the one no one believes in—until it’s too late.

Rejected by My Husband: The devil's Obsession

~She gave him everything. He gave her away like trash. But now… the devil wants her, and he never shares what he claims~ Sophia de Santos gave up everything for love. She had thought marrying Alexander Reins would be the start of her forever. Instead, it became her ruin. Because not only was her dreams, her freedom, her future all gone with the wind. Also, on the day she was meant to share the joy of their unborn child, Alexander handed her divorce papers, and with them, the truth that she was nothing more than a placeholder, a shadow of the woman he truly loved. And when fate struck her down, leaving her broken and bleeding, he ran to that woman. Not once did he look back. But death did not take her. Instead, something else found her. In the darkest hour of her life, a stranger appeared, a man with eyes like obsidian fire and a smile that whispered temptation. Xander Nightshade offered her a contract marriage. No strings, no questions. Just salvation in the shape of a deal. Desperate and hollowed by betrayal, Sophia agreed. But Xander Nightshade was no ordinary man. His presence made her skin prickle. His words felt like spells. And his touch? A brand she couldn’t forget. She thought she was running from heartbreak… But she was falling into the arms of something far more dangerous. Because the man who saved her isn’t just powerful. He isn’t just mysterious. He is the devil himself. And he just made her his. Excerpt “You’re trembling,” he said, his hand just hovering next to my cheek, almost close enough to touch. “Are you afraid of me, Sophia?” I wanted to lie. I wanted to say yes, to give him the answer he probably wanted. But when I opened my mouth, the words that came out were softer than I expected, breathless. “No. I’m afraid of how much I’m not.” His eyes locked onto mine, dark and endless, like something dangerous but also... Strangely inviting like moth to flames. There was a twist to his lips, not quite a smile, but something that sent a shiver down my spine. Amusement? No, it was hunger. “You should be,” he said. But then, in that moment, I kissed the devil. And in the morning, I didn’t care anymore if I’d already sold my soul because if this man is fire, I've already been consumed. Burned.

Celestial Ascending: Conquest of the Dimensional Worlds

Ajay had always believed his life would end in the same forgotten village where it began — quiet days, broken roads, and dreams too small to ever threaten the world. Until the night reality shattered. In a single breath, the sky folded in on itself and Ajay was torn from his home into a shifting dimension where time fractures, demons rule in shadows, and ancient beings manipulate existence like a game board. There, a voice seeps into his mind — cruel, seductive, and powerful — a demon that calls him vessel. But Ajay is not alone. An old man who should not exist watches his every step, appearing across broken timelines with warnings that never fully make sense. Each encounter leaves Ajay with more questions and fewer choices, because the truth is unbearable: his life was never an accident. He is a living anomaly — a distortion in the flow of reality itself. As worlds begin to overlap and dimensions bleed into each other, entire civilizations collapse without warning. Empires hunt him. Cultists worship him. Monsters whisper his name in forgotten languages. Everyone wants the same thing. His end. Now hunted across collapsing realms, bound to a demon he cannot silence and burdened by a destiny he never chose, Ajay must either master the power threatening to destroy him… or be erased along with the worlds that depend on his survival. Because in a universe built on balance, Ajay is the flaw that could bring everything crashing down.
