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!

The path of true monarch

In a world where every noble bloodline is blessed with elemental authority, power defines status, and status defines survival. The continent of Eryndor is ruled by ancient families who inherit abilities tied to nature itself—fire, wind, lightning, smoke, beasts, and forgotten mythic forces. These blessings once protected humanity from the invasion of demons and Rift-born horrors… until something far older began to awaken beneath the surface of the world. Among these nobles stands Zeal Greyhound, heir to a declining house and branded a failure by his own bloodline. Born without a recognized authority, he is cast aside as useless in a world where even children manifest powers. But everything changes when his body reacts to a forbidden relic during a violent awakening at the academy. The result is impossible. The system breaks. His authority cannot be read. And something inside him responds. When Zeal is transferred to the elite Eryndor Royal Academy, he is expected to remain a powerless outcast. Instead, his presence triggers unexplained distortions in reality, attracts Rift-born entities, and causes ancient monitoring systems to classify him as: ERROR — UNIDENTIFIABLE AUTHORITY As noble heirs like the lightning-wielding prodigy Lucius Lockwood, the smoke manipulator Chloe Ashfield, and the wind-born strategist Kyle Gale begin to orbit his fate, Zeal becomes the center of an unfolding mystery that even the academy cannot control. Because deep beneath the world, something ancient stirs. A force that recognizes Zeal not as a student… but as a Prototype Vessel. A failed monarch. Or perhaps… the beginning of a new calamity. As sealed entities awaken, hidden wars resurface, and the academy transforms into a battlefield of hidden powers, Zeal must uncover the truth of his existence before the system itself decides to erase him. Because in a world where power defines reality— he is the one thing the system cannot define. And that makes him the most dangerous existence of all.
