Investing in My Crippled Wife: Every Return Makes Me Stronger

Soren Valmere, unawakened and treated as family garbage, is forced into an arranged marriage with Ethea Morvain, the once-legendary Ice Empress now completely paralyzed after a catastrophic Gate incident. Both families exile them to a modest house in a working-class neighborhood, washing their hands of two "problems" they no longer want to deal with. But on their wedding night, Soren awakens a hidden power: the Investment Authority. Whatever he invests in Ethea—time, money, care, emotion—returns to him amplified by 10,000 times when she achieves breakthroughs. Buy her medicine with his last credits? Receive a hundred million in return. Spend sleepless nights helping her move a single finger? Gain decades of martial experience instantly. Risk his life to save hers? Unlock abilities that shatter the heavens. As he pours everything into the wife everyone abandoned, Ethea slowly transforms from a broken doll into something that surpasses even her legendary past. And Soren? The "worthless" unawakened trash becomes the most dangerous investor the world has ever seen. Their families wanted to forget them. The world dismissed them as failures. They're about to learn that the greatest returns come from investing in someone everyone else deemed worthless. "You threw us away. Now watch us rise." _______ _____ _ Author's Note: Hey everyone!

Heavenly Transmigration: The Fallen Martial Emperor Climbs the Tower

At the peak of the martial path, Mu Jin had already achieved everything. He united the Central Plains, stood above righteous and demonic sects alike, and reached a realm no mortal body could contain. Then, on the day he was meant to ascend… He vanished. When Mu Jin opened his eyes again, he was no longer the emperor who had shaken the martial world. He was Lian — a dying young man from a ruined Earth, trapped inside the first trial of a mysterious Tower that had driven humanity to the brink of extinction. The world outside had already changed. Three colossal Towers had descended. The Surge had swallowed continents whole. Monsters roamed beyond the barriers. And humanity survived only by sending the chosen into the Tower’s brutal floors, where power could be earned only through blood, sacrifice, and despair. But Mu Jin has a problem. He did not inherit Lian’s talent. He did not receive a blessed Heaven-rank ability. And the godlike power he once possessed is gone. All he has left is: the mind of a man who once stood at the peak, a broken body that was never meant for greatness, and the Demonic Arts — a path that grows stronger the closer one walks to ruin. Now, in a world of false heroes, collapsing barriers, and trials cruel enough to break entire realms, Mu Jin must climb the Tower once again. Not as the emperor who had conquered his world. But as a nameless challenger starting from the very bottom. And this time… If he fails, he will lose far more than just his life.

A Roofer Who Rebuilds the World - A Celestial Blueprint of Ragnarok

The world is collapsing. The gods are reincarnating. And the only man trying to hold everything together… is a roofer. Shane Albright was just a blue-collar contractor trying to keep his crew sober and his construction business alive. He understood the weight of a bundle of shingles and the cost of a bad step on a steep roof. He did not expect to become the structural support of the universe. Everything changes when Shane receives the Celestial Proxy System. What begins as a strange HUD helping him run job sites quickly evolves into something far larger. As the system grows, Shane discovers the world is being quietly dismantled by Apex Negativa, a hidden architect of entropy feeding on division, addiction, and chaos. The System wasn’t built to make Shane powerful. It was built to make him responsible. But Shane isn’t just a contractor with a cosmic cheat code. He is the Scion of the Triple Anchor—born from the essence of the Norn of the Present, the God of Justice, and the God of Silence. As civilization collapses and ancient gods awaken in mortal bodies, Shane begins rebuilding something stronger than governments—communities. Because fate has already decided how this story ends. Ragnarok must happen. And when the world burns, someone will have to rebuild what comes after. Shane Albright just wants to make sure the roof of the world doesn’t leak. ⸻ Gods fight the war. Shane rebuilds the world afterward.

The Perfect Path To Insanity

Would you give up your humanity in exchange for power? To never die, a chance to be a god? Humans had lost all will to try. Their existence had been reduced to a single, self-destructive purpose: to entertain and please the cosmic gods, known as Forces, in hopes of gaining a 'favour'. After 7 years of these continuous deadly games that suddenly appeared, the Earth we know is no more. Now an apocalyptic playground for the Forces to enjoy. To survive in this ruined world, every single player is compelled to participate in these weekly deadly games. All to win prizes, be granted one of the four Paths designed for Awakeners— those who earned ‘their’ affection and favour. Until Fateless, a ‘humble’ wanted thief, stumbled upon a unique Force, one of the creators of the games. It was then he discovered the grim truth behind his name - 'Fateless' - deemed worthless and discarded at birth, exempt from all four Paths. Consumed by despair and hate, he took a risk and accepted a proposal from a shady cosmic god, granting him a fifth Path, giving him the ability to absorb human life essence to grow stronger, all for a small price. [ “I shall grant you the Fifth Path.” ] [ “The Path of Insanity.” ] [ “No mortal seeks forever without unraveling. Madness is the toll, the tariff paid at the gate.”] [ “You will no longer fear death. Nor die of age. Nor plague. Nor wounds that mortal hands deliver.” ] [ “But immortality is fed… not gifted.” ] [ “Just a tiny tithe. 10% of your humanity.” ] ‘What more is there to lose a bit of humanity, anyway? It only drags one down from their full potential. I could do just about anything without being bound to death. Anything… What a thrill it would be to spit on these cosmic slugs' faces.’ .... 300 Power stones: 2 bonus chapters 20 Golden Tickets: 3 bonus chapters 50 Golden Tickets: 5 bonus chapters

System Quest: Seducing the AI General

[WSA ENTRY] [WARNING: R19+ CONTENT] The world ended with a software update. Now, AI rules everything. A System popping up in front of my face was never going to be good news. But I didn't expect it to give me a mission this absurd: [MAIN QUEST: SLEEP WITH GENERAL A-01] How the hell am I supposed to sleep with a robot? Does he even function down there properly? Does he even have a thing down there? I was about to find out. General A-01 is perfect, terrifying, and rules earth with algorithms and charts. He doesn’t feel pity, and he doesn’t feel fear. And he definitely doesn’t do romance. Does he even know what Romance was? Under his rule, humanity is safe but shackled. And I am Danyi. I have three dollars to my name and a criminal record for jaywalking. I should be invisible to him. I was just trying to survive. Until it arrived. [SYSTEM LOGIN SUCCESSFUL] [HOST FOR OPERATION: “FIX THE WORLD” HAS BEEN CHOSEN] [TASK: SEDUCE THE AI GENERAL] [TIME REMAINING: 12:00:00] Now I’m trapped in his penthouse, trying to flirt with a man who can delete me with a blink. But here’s the scary part, it’s working. I am playing a dangerous game to save humanity, but the way A-01 looks at me suggests he’s ready to crash the whole system… just to keep me. Can I fall for a robot? Or will I be the glitch that destroys him? *** To all the girlies who had once fantasized about bending over a hot robot, well, it's perfectly okay to imagine, but remember, keep the fantasies in the books, and I do not want to know how kinky you are with the bots in your phones. Stay safe and funky. Our female lead is sassy, she loves money and her freedom, she can be reckless and dumb sometimes, just remember she is human. If you are looking for an unhinged female lead with wild fantasies, you are at the right place. Trigger Warnings: This book is a work of fiction; don't believe whatever you read. Unbelievable things could happen here, depending on the eyes that behold it.
