The Kingmaker System

"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.

The Cursed Grimoire: Academy of Stolen Magic

Seventeen-year-old Aria Nightshade has spent her entire life hiding what she is: a Null—born without magic in a world where power is everything. At the prestigious Thornwick Academy of Arcane Arts, she's survived three years as the "scholarship charity case" by being invisible, doing everyone's homework, and enduring whispers that she only got in because her dead parents were war heroes. But Aria has a secret. She CAN use magic—just not her own. She's a Siphon, able to absorb and wield others' magic temporarily, a forbidden ability that got her ancestors hunted to extinction. One touch, and she becomes whatever they are. It's the reason her parents died protecting her. It's the reason she can never let anyone close. Everything changes when Aria and four other misfit students accidentally break into the Forbidden Archive during a late-night prank gone wrong. They discover the Codex Animarum—an ancient, sentient grimoire that binds itself to them through blood magic, creating an unbreakable System that grants quests, levels, and powers... but demands a price for every gift. The grimoire reveals a conspiracy that spans centuries: Thornwick Academy was built on the tomb of the First Sorcerers, and someone is performing ritual murders to resurrect them. Each victim's magic is being drained and stored. The five students have thirty days before the final sacrifice—which requires the blood of a Siphon. Aria's blood. Now she must work with the prince who publicly humiliated her, the rebel who knows too much about her past, the cursed girl everyone fears, and the prodigy who's competing for her scholarship—all while hiding what she is, leveling up through increasingly dangerous quests, and trying not to fall for the one person who could destroy her if he learned the truth. Because the grimoire has shown her something terrifying: the mastermind behind the murders is someone she trusts. And stopping them might require Aria to finally reveal the monster she's been hiding.

The Starbound Codex: From Academy Outcast to Keeper of Ancient Magic

"You're nothing but a charity case with no real magic! Stay away from my research—and stay away from me!" Those were the words Lyra Ashford's former best friend and academic partner, Cassia Thornwood spat at her during the Academy's Grand Exhibition, right before stealing Lyra's groundbreaking thesis and presenting it as her own. In one night, Lyra lost everything: her research, her reputation, her scholarship, and the boy she'd loved since freshman year—Cassia's twin brother, Dorian, who stood by and did nothing. Humiliated and facing expulsion for "academic theft" that she never committed, Lyra is ready to leave Stellarium Academy forever. But a mysterious force pulls her to the Forbidden Archives, where she accidentally awakens an ancient sentient map called the Starbound Codex—a relic that chooses only one keeper per millennium. The Codex reveals that Stellarium Academy was built on top of seven sealed dimensions containing the lost magic of the Primordial Architects. Someone is trying to break these seals to steal that power, and the sabotage incidents plaguing the Academy are just the beginning. Worse still, Lyra's "lack of magic" was never a weakness—it was a seal placed on her as a child to hide her from those who would exploit her rare Cypher bloodline, descendants of the Architects themselves. Enter Kael Voidstrider, the Academy's most feared senior—a devastatingly brilliant combat mage with a cold reputation and mysterious scars, both physical and magical. He's the only one who believes in Lyra's innocence, and for reasons he won't fully explain, he needs her help to stop the coming catastrophe. As they're forced to work together, Lyra discovers that Kael's ice-cold exterior hides unimaginable pain, and his incredible devotion is reserved for one person only: her. With her powers awakening, enemies closing in from all sides, and her former best friend revealed as part of a darker conspiracy, Lyra must master lost magic, survive deadly trials in the Shattered Realms, and level up fast enough to save the Academy and possibly all magical dimensions. Because the map chose her for a reason. And this time, she's done being underestimated.

Billioniare Forgotten Surrogate

She forgot him. He remembered everything. And he's not letting her go again. Three years ago, Elara Hart was desperate—her mother was dying, and she had no money for treatment. So when cold, ruthless billionaire Kairos Vance offered her $2 million to be his surrogate, she signed her life away. The contract was clear: carry his child, sign away all rights, disappear forever. But Elara made a fatal mistake. She fell in love with him. And Kairos? He threw her away the moment their son was born, choosing his family's approval over the woman who'd given him everything. Heartbroken and determined to fight for custody, Elara drove into a rainstorm—and straight into a nightmare. The "accident" wasn't random. It was arranged. And when she woke up three weeks later, she couldn't remember her own name, let alone the man who'd destroyed her. Now, three years later, she walks back into his life. As a stranger. Desperate and obsessed, Kairos makes a split-second decision that will change everything: he tells her she's his wife. That they were madly in love. That their son Leo is the product of their marriage, not a cold transaction. She believes him. And Kairos finally has a second chance to do everything right. But secrets don't stay buried. As Elara's memories begin to surface—fragmented images of contracts, cold hospital rooms, and his cruel rejection—she starts to realize the man she's falling for is the same man who once broke her. When the truth explodes, Elara must decide: can she forgive the unforgivable? Or will she take everything from him the way he once took everything from her? A story of lies, possession, redemption, and a love so twisted it might just destroy them both... or save them.
