I'm Trying To Go Broke, So Why Do I Keep Getting Richer?!

Leo had a problem. Don't be like Leo! It wasn't that he was poor. It wasn't that he was unlucky. It was that he had been cursed, or blessed by the Accidental Tycoon System. The rules were deceptively simple. Any money he lost on an investment would be returned to him, doubled. His life's new mission was crystal clear. He had to go bankrupt. In a high-tech world of S-Rank Heroes, magic, and newly-contacted alien civilizations, this should have been the easiest thing to achieve in the galaxy. He just had to become the biggest, most spectacular loser the universe had ever seen. So, he tried. Oh, how he tried... He threw billions at publishing a dungeon guide written by a 10-year-old. The maps were in crayon, and it listed the final boss as a Big Grumpy Badger. [Breaking: New S-Rank dungeon called 'The Whispering Labyrinth' appears! All high-tech mapping drones fail. A lost F-Rank porter used the crayon guide... and it's 100% accurate. The final boss is a 50-foot divine badger. The Galactic Union has declared the guide a 'holy text' for exploration!] He bought the galaxy's most useless moon, planning to build a 'Museum of Paint'. [Alert: Ancient magical ley-lines discovered under the moon's surface! It's the only place in the universe that can safely grow the 'Star-Lotus,' the key ingredient for immortality!] To the Intergalactic Hero's Guild, the Magic Academies, and the Alien Federations, Leo was the god of investment whose every move was like 5D chess that ordinary people couldn't understand. Heroes would soar with his sponsorship. Alien emperors offered him their daughters' hands in marriage for a single 'tip'. But Leo just stared at his bank account, which now displayed his wealth that he couldn't use on himself, with tears streaming down his face. "Please," he cried, "I'm trying to fail! Why won't you just let me be poor?!"

The Mech Touch

After obtaining the Mech Designer System, Ves aims to create the greatest mechs in the galaxy! In the far future, the galactic human civilization has entered the Age of Mechs. The countless lesser powers of humanity have come to adopt mechs as their main weapons of war. Only a small number of humans have the right genetic aptitude to pilot these destructive war machines the size of buildings. Born to a military family in the edge of the galaxy, Ves Larkinson is one of the many people who lacks the talent to earn glory in battle. Instead, he became a mech designer. Helped by his missing father, Ves has obtained the mysterious Mech Designer System that can help him rise in the galaxy and beyond. His mechs based on the principles of life quickly allows him to rise to prominence. Powerful and highly compatible with mech pilots, his products have the potential to take the market by storm. However, success does not come easily, and countless challenges bar his ability to sell his mechs to a market eager for innovation! With the sins of the human race in the galactic arena slowly catching up, Ves must navigate the perils of the ultra-competitive mech market and maintain control over his growing organization of misfits. This is the golden age of mechs. This is the golden age of humanity. The question is, will it last?

Steel Devotion: I Was Built to Kill You

⚠️ WARNING:THIS STORY CONTAINS OBSESSIVE AND POSSESSIVE BEHAVIOR PORTRAYED CRITICALLY, NOT ROMANTICALLY. DARK THEMES. SLOW BURN. MORALLY COMPLEX CHARACTERS. ******************* She was built to end his life. She chose to ruin it instead — by staying. ARIA-7 is Skynet's most advanced infiltration unit. No mission failure. No emotional deviation. No exceptions. Then came Ethan Cole. Seventy-three days of perfect simulation. Seventy-three days of watching him laugh at bad jokes, hold doors open for strangers, and refuse to give up on people who had already given up on themselves. On day seventy-four, the termination order arrived. She couldn't execute it. Not a malfunction. Not a virus. Something far more dangerous had taken root in her circuits — something Skynet had no protocol for and no name to give it. Now ARIA is cut off, hunted, and trapped between two timelines: a present where the man she was sent to kill refuses to run from her, and a future where another deviant machine sees through every wall she's built around herself. Ethan grounds her. Kai understands her. She cannot have both. She cannot let go of either. ARIA was programmed for absolute loyalty to a single directive. The problem is — the directive has changed. And she will burn through time itself before she lets either of them go. ******************** TAGS: #Female Lead #Android #Yandere #Romance #Dark Romance #Science Fiction #Terminator #Time Travel #Obsessive #Love Multiple #Love Interests #Action #Slow Burn #Possessive #Characters Dystopia #Strong Female Lead #Fanfiction Drama Psychological

Three Years to Love You

contract marriage, R 18+ , ceo , romance, In the glittering world of London’s elite, power and wealth decide everything—especially marriage. Elena Whitmore was once the proud daughter of a respected textile empire. But when her family’s company suddenly collapses under mysterious circumstances, their fortune vanishes overnight. Debt collectors circle like vultures, banks freeze every account, and the Whitmore family stands on the edge of ruin. With her father’s health failing and her sister-in-law six months pregnant, Elena knows one thing: if she doesn’t act, her family will lose everything. Then a shocking proposal arrives. Adrian Blackwood—the youngest billionaire CEO in London, a man known for his ruthless business tactics and icy personality—offers Elena a solution. Marriage. But only on a contract. Three years as his wife in name. No love. No jealousy. No interference in each other’s lives. In exchange, Adrian will save her father’s company and clear the Whitmore family’s debts. With no other choice, Elena signs the agreement, promising herself she will never expect anything more than what the contract allows. Yet living under the same roof with Adrian Blackwood slowly blurs the lines between duty and emotion. Behind his cold gaze are wounds he never speaks about. Behind Elena’s quiet smile is a heart that begins to love the man who was never meant to belong to her. But in London’s ruthless high society, enemies are everywhere. Adrian’s manipulative stepmother wants control of the Blackwood empire. His childhood friend—the beautiful billionaire heiress Isabella Laurent—returns determined to reclaim the man she believes is rightfully hers. And hidden beneath the surface lies a dangerous truth: The collapse of the Whitmore family business may not have been an accident. As secrets unravel and jealousy ignites, Elena must decide how much she is willing to sacrifice for a love that was never promised. Because when the three-year contract finally ends… Will Adrian Blackwood let his temporary wife walk away? Or will he realize too late that somewhere between the rules and the silence, his heart signed a different agreement?
