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!

Love And Deepspace|Zayne:The Avalon:The bridge between life and death.

Dr. Zayne Li has a secret. Three years ago, the renowned cardiologist stumbled upon an impossible ice cave in the forest outside Linkon City. What he found inside changed everything—a portal to a nightmare realm where monsters hunt humans, where the laws of reality bend and break, and where survival means becoming something you never thought you could be. He barely escaped. And he's spent every day since sealing that cave, ensuring no one else suffers the same fate. Until Hunter Nana Wang follows him one night.Curious, reckless, and too brave for her own good, Nana is Linkon City's strongest hunter—trained to fight Wanderers, not the impossible creatures that exist beyond dimensions. When a surprise attack shatters Zayne's carefully maintained seal, both of them are pulled through the portal into Avalon: a broken city suspended between life and death, where demons, vampires, and hybrids hunt the few remaining humans. Separated by the portal's cruel logic, Nana wakes in an abandoned classroom with no weapons, no backup, and no idea how to survive. Within minutes, she's being hunted. Within hours, she's convinced she's going to die. Then she meets Mina—a survivor who's been trapped in Avalon for a month, who teaches Nana that the only way to escape this nightmare is to become a nightmare yourself.As Nana learns to fight creatures that shouldn't exist, as she loses people she comes to love, as she grows harder and stronger and more desperate, one thought keeps her going: Find Zayne. Escape together. Survive. But Zayne is fighting his own battle, alone in a realm where he's already spent three years learning to be a killer. And when they finally reunite, they discover that Avalon has one rule that changes everything: The only way out appears once a year, during the blood moon cycle, when thousands of vampires wake and hunt. And anyone bitten transforms instantly. One portal. One chance. Two people who love each other enough to sacrifice everything. In Avalon, love isn't just about living together. Sometimes it's about choosing who gets to live at all.

Shattering Humanity

"If she feels pain, then I'll make sure we all do..." As a purple and pink tailed meteor enters Earth's atmosphere, it begins "snowing" all over the planet. Humans are no longer on top of the ladder. A crystal ice dragon explodes from the space rock, creating Hell. Bringing along an ambush of bloodthirsty aliens, some large enough to demolish buildings, "Leviathan" has forced humanity into various locations of hiding around the world. Within three years after the initial invasion, humans have begun to not only fight back against the aliens, but some choose to become symbiotic hosts, acquiring "magical" abilities after slaying one of the unconventional extraterrestrials. Shortly before leaving their sanctuary/apocalypse training academy, two once drifted friends, Katsu and Saku, are reunited on the same scout team. As polar opposite personalities they are chosen by the only surviving "Creator of Humanity". Both boys become 'blessed' to be hosts for their universe's contemporary forces and use those "God given abilities" to achieve their (secretly combative) goals. Accompanying them is Katsu's adopted sister, Shelly. Regarded as "The Beast of the Beasts" by her peers, she is the reincarnate of her grandmother. The greatest, most underrated female Scandinavian sword fighter to live before the 13th century. After learning of her destined lineage, and admiring the otherwise "mythical" accomplishments completed by her top tier, ass kicking Valkyrie grandma, Shelly is determined to retrieve all of the stolen blades from those who dishonorably stole them over 800 years ago. In order to do so she will have to defeat several members of a manipulative covenant of warrior witches. Each woman blessed with an undiscovered form of energy that has unknowingly coexisted with humanity. These 7 women usher in the POST-post-apocalyptic world as Mafia Bosses, Matriarch Socialist Dictators, Seafaring Conquerors, and a few just want to see this new snow covered world burn. To prove which unnaturally born creature is the Supreme Ultimate amongst them. Aliens, action, romance, betrayal of old friends, the gaining of trust from new, overpowered goofballs, magical damsel despots, righteous and nefarious humans gaining niche powers, not to mention a secretive psychopath using his God given abilities to preserve who he views as his sole purpose. In the end, will love truly conquer all, or will 'their' love conquer us all? "If you have a beloved purpose you can't live a day without, do you truly have any freedom to live? If you have complete freedom to act however, or say whatever you desire, do you truly have any purpose worth caring about to protect?" ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ [All character and cover art is not done by AI but by my good friend Amon-kun] ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ WARNING/DISCLAIMER: This series uses ætiological mythopoeism to spotlight coincidental parallels between various religious scriptures, and scientific theories but is in no way discrediting or belittling the beliefs of others whether that be Creationist or Evolutionist.

Doomsday Life Simulator System In A Zombie Apocalypse World Update Era

Due to the whims of a higher-dimensional being called "The One", the World of Terra ushered in a Monthly Apocalypse World Update Era. Every month, the World will draw a random monthly apocalypse world update theme, and the world will transform depending on what update theme has been drawn. Starting with a Zombie Apocalypse World theme, The World of Terra became infested with zombies! As a transmigrator, Zayne Voss, who thought he was living in a normal modern world, was caught up in this madness. Fortunately, he awakened the innate ???-rank talent, the Doomsday Life Simulator System! [The Doomsday Life Simulator System allows the host to simulate your future and life in a given doomsday scenario.] [For example, the simulator will randomly draw a doomsday scenario, and one of them might be a zombie apocalypse scenario. In that case, the host can experience life in a zombie apocalypse world.] [Of course, it's not limited to that, as there are also different kinds of doomsday scenarios like the Helios Extinction Event, where the sun explodes and humanity faces such a world-ending scenario.] [Not all doomsday scenarios are winnable and survivable, as some can be a dead end. However, your goal is not to win but to survive as long as possible and attain as many achievements as possible.] [The longer you survive and the more you accomplish within that doomsday scenario, the higher your score will be. The higher the score, the greater the rewards you'll receive.] [The rewards you can receive are mostly related to the power, skill, experiences, and talent that you possessed before the doomsday life simulation ended. They will be brought back to the real world so the host can gain power from doing life simulations.] -Ding! [The host can choose one doomsday scenario from four of the following:] [A. Helios Extinction Event] [B. AI Singularity Rebellion] [C. Global Ocean Survival] [D. Acid Rain Catastrophe] Drawing the doomsday scenario called "Global Ocean Survival," where everyone started with a wooden raft on a vast ocean, Zayne grinded in the doomsday simulation to become stronger in the real world! While everyone was still running away from zombies, Zayne had already eaten a Fairy Fruit from the Global Ocean Survival World and killed all the zombies around him! *** Good day, dear readers!

Divine Reckoning: Surviving The Godfall Apocalypse

Can you believe everyone across the world can have the same dream? You don't? Well, you're not alone in that. But that's exactly what happened three years ago. At first, it was a vision from the future, "A Warning From the Gods". Some random guy on the internet coined it, and the only thing it did, was raise hell in the media. Of course, there was discord in opinions. Three years later, the vision came true. It started with the bloody rain in New York, followed by the invading alien monsters who fell from the sky like meteors. Everything mankind built so far on the pages of history, came falling down, one after another. Chaos closed in, but humanity wasn't going down without a fight. The survival instinct kicked in, and people grabbed everything they could find, knives, crowbars, guns, turning them into weapons. To fight monsters. Then it happened: **[The Trial of gods has begun]** **[Choose your class and enter your quest for survival]** **[Would you like to be awakened with the bestowed power of the ancient gods? Y/N]** But Not me. I was not among the 'Chosen humans'. I'm just an escaped prisoner, trying to live an ordinary life in a world turned upside down. My name is Kai and I'm trying to find my lost family. To that end, I'll do anything. Even killing gods. The stakes of survival are higher than ever. And the Real Fight is just getting underway. Hold your horses and fasten your seats, because this is just the beginning. =========== Disclaimer: This story involves intense worldbuilding, quality drama, and lots of action and adventures. Chapter: 1.2k ~1.5k words, 7chapters/week (as long as I'm not sick or anything) (*But it's For now. I'll write more later) *There is no 'explicit & extreme' content, and forgive me if this is not your cup of tea. (And do support, if it is, by reading ) Thank you. =========== ////////////////// You can contact me on My Discord Server: https://discord.gg/cMdyJSKuEA ////////////////// The cover art is not mine.

Celestial Blueprint- A construction worker’s improbable AI

Shane Albright was a man who understood the weight of a bundle of shingles and the cost of a single misstep. A blue-collar contractor fighting to keep his crew sober and his business afloat, he never expected to be the "Ridge Beam" of the universe. Everything changed the day he received the Celestial Proxy System. What started as a digital HUD helping him navigate construction logistics and site safety quickly evolved into something far more dangerous. As Shane levels up, he discovers that the world is being systematically dismantled by Apex Negativa, a dark architect of entropy who thrives on societal division, addiction, and manufactured chaos. But Shane isn't just a roofer with a cheat code. He is the Scion of the Triple Anchor—the son of the Norn of the Present, the God of Justice, and the God of Silence. [System Notification: New Quest Received] [Objective: Rebuild the broken Norse Pantheon.] [Reward: Unlock the Master Slots of Celestial Magic.] As the world begins a "Reverse Evolution"—plunging from modern luxury into a gritty, 19th-century survivalist nightmare—Shane must use his "Renewed Clarity" to lead the survivors. From MMA cages to the halls of the Senate, and eventually the Presidency, Shane’s "Common Sense Party" becomes the only sanctuary left in a world of darkening suns, tectonic shifts, and terrifying catfish-human hybrids. The Architect wants an apocalypse. The Old Gods want their thrones back. Loki wants a punchline. Shane Albright just wants to make sure the roof doesn't leak. Join Shane as he shingles the sky, outmaneuvers the Trickster, and prepares for a Ragnarok where "Fate" is just another blueprint waiting to be rewritten.

Woke Up 300000 Years Later

Three hundred thousand years ago, Homer didn't just see the future—he built it. As the inventor of the Atmospheric Nanite Network, he cracked the code to immortality and matter programming. He intended to save humanity from itself. ​Instead, the corporate elite framed him for a crime he didn’t commit, sentenced him to eternal cryo-sleep, and used his invention to burn the world down. ​Now, the ice has finally cracked. ​Homer wakes up to a world that has forgotten the machine. The skyscrapers are dust, replaced by the towering forests of the Verdant Expanse. The corporate board has been replaced by the "High Council" of immortal Elves who rule with benevolence and grace. They wield "Mana" to protect the weak from the terrifying "Demons" of the frozen north. ​To anyone else, it’s a fantasy paradise. But to Homer, looking through his silver synthetic eye, it’s a glitch. ​He sees the truth: ​The "Mana" is just his nanites, mutated and running on legacy code. ​The "Elves" are the descendants of the corrupt officials who locked him away. ​The "Demons" are the only ones running military-grade hardware—his hardware. ​With his AI companion Castor trying to keep him sane and an Administrator Interface that treats reality like a command line, Homer must navigate a world built on lies. The "Gods" of this age are afraid of the one man who can turn their magic off. ​The Architect is awake. And he wants his world back.
