The Assassin: Reaper's Ascending

Synopsis In a future built atop the buried ruins of a continent, society survives by sacrificing its weakest. The Higher Heights district is governed by the Eternal Games, a state sanctioned survival system disguised as opportunity and choice. On Choosing Day, citizens vanish without protest, fed into arenas where survival is not earned through virtue or strength, but through compliance with a system that punishes mercy and rewards moral collapse. Children, parents, and strangers alike are stripped of protection, reduced to resources in a city that values efficiency over humanity. Duke enters this world carrying memories that do not belong to it. Reincarnated into a younger body after dying as an elite assassin in another life, he awakens inside the Games with his instincts intact and his conscience dangerously intact as well. Unlike the others, Duke understands violence as a craft, not a panic response, and quickly realizes that the system is not testing survival alone. It is testing obedience, adaptability, and the willingness to abandon empathy when it becomes inconvenient. the Games force players into escalating acts of cruelty, engineering situations where hesitation kills and kindness is punished. Alliances rot into betrayal, children become tools and targets, and the arena itself responds to emotional weakness. As the game progresses and the survivors harden, Duke is pushed to confront an uncomfortable truth. To reach the Final Tier and escape reclamation, he must decide whether survival requires becoming exactly what the system wants him to be. This story is not about winning a game. It is about what remains of a person when every moral boundary is turned into a liability, and whether identity can survive in a world designed to erase it.

Vermillion's Godfather: The Rise of the Mafia Prince

"In the New York underworld, Alessandro 'The Razor' was not just a mafia boss; he was the law itself. Respected for his strategy, feared for his ruthlessness, and holding the code of Omerta above all else. However, the reign of the dark world's sovereign ended with a bullet—a betrayal from his own right-hand man. Alessandro thought that was the end of everything. Yet, he opened his eyes in an unfamiliar place. He was no longer an old man in an Italian suit, but an 18-year-old boy. Prince Alessandro von Vermillion. The problem? This prince was the 'trash' of the kingdom. A drunkard, weakling, coward, and hated by both his people and the nobility. The Kingdom of Vermillion stood on the brink of collapse: the national treasury was empty, corrupt Dukes ran rampant, and neighboring kingdoms were poised to annex their territory. Just as the political executioners were about to claim his neck, a blue screen flickered across his retina. [Ding!] [The Absolute Empire System has been activated.] [Host Class Detected: UNDERWORLD SOVEREIGN (Godfather).] [First Mission: Purge the Traitors.] A cold smirk—one that once made mayors and police chiefs tremble—returned to the Prince's face. This wasn't just about building a kingdom. This was business. The people are 'Family' who must be protected. The enemies are 'Business Rivals' who must be eliminated. 'In Vermillion, there are only two choices for my enemies: Silver (Money) or Lead (Death).' A Mobster never forgets a debt. And Alessandro will collect them all—with interest. Joined by a cold-hearted female knight whose loyalty is unto death, Alessandro will transform a dying realm into the strongest Empire on the continent. Welcome to the Family."
