Li Tang was reborn on the eve of the new millennium. He knew the trajectory of the mining market over the next twenty years, had the coordinates of every newly discovered supermine, and understood the intricate details of century-defining mergers between mining giants. While experts lamented that all the rich mines were in the hands of major players and that the giants were troubled by aging and depleting resources, turning from exploration to ruthless corporate takeovers... A group from the East kept working miracles—discovering deeply buried, shockingly rich mineral deposits again and again. From scorching deserts, frozen Arctic lands, and uninhabited primeval forests, they extracted tons of ore. Fully loaded cargo ships, the industrial lifeline, thundered across the seas toward the East. He had advanced exploration technology, wielded capital like a club, and maneuvered deftly through complex global politics—completely disrupting the mining industry's global landscape. When he speaks, the world listens. One foreign mining analyst exclaimed: “He is already the sole mining oligarch on Earth!” Thank you for the support, friends.

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?!"

FULL SYNOPSIS (Entire Novel Overview) ​1. The Hook & Inciting Incident ​Elara Thorne was the only human raised within the Shadow Moon Pack. On her eighteenth birthday, she was granted the rare, devastating gift of the True Mate bond to the future Alpha, Ryan Lycan. Ryan, consumed by the pack's ancient law demanding a strong wolf Luna and disgusted by Elara’s human weakness, savagely rejected her in front of the entire pack. Heartbroken and ruined, Elara fled the territory, concealing the agonizing truth: the bond, though rejected, resulted in her miraculous, powerful twin wolf heirs. For five years, Elara transformed her pain into power, becoming the formidable, ruthless CEO of Thorne Global Acquisitions. ​2. The Reunion & Discovery ​The conflict ignites when Elara returns, not as a beggar, but as a Billionaire corporate rival initiating a hostile takeover of Ryan’s family company, Lycan Holdings. Ryan, now a cold, respected Alpha struggling with pack instability, is shocked when the dormant mate bond violently reignites upon seeing Elara. During a tense negotiation, Ryan’s Alpha senses alert him to the overwhelming scent of strong Lycan pups near Elara. He follows her and discovers her two identical, four-year-old twin sons, whose features and powerful aura undeniably mark them as his heirs. ​3. Rising Action & Conflict ​Furious and desperate to reclaim the powerful twins his struggling pack needs, Ryan attempts to use both corporate power and his Alpha command to force Elara to return. Elara, however, is immune to his authority. She uses her wealth and legal prowess to force Ryan into a humiliating Co-Parenting Contract, dictating that he must obey her strict, human terms to gain access to his children. As Ryan navigates the strange new world of human parenting and corporate oversight, he begins to see the ruthless, intelligent woman Elara has become and realizes he is falling for the new Elara. Meanwhile, Ryan’s Beta, who was slated to be his Luna, sees Elara as a threat and begins to secretly undermine her, creating a dangerous love triangle and corporate espionage plot. ​4. The Climax & Final Conflict ​The pack’s long-standing enemy, Alpha Damon, learns of the powerful, unguarded twin heirs. Damon, in league with a traitor within Ryan’s inner circle (revealed to be the jealous Beta), launches a brutal attack on the Lycan territory and attempts to kidnap the twins to harness their raw power. Elara, forced to reveal her full strength and strategic brilliance, steps up to defend her sons and the pack. In the final, devastating confrontation, Ryan is forced to choose: cling to pack tradition and the Beta, or risk everything for Elara—the human who gave him the future. Ryan makes the only choice that matters, publicly rejecting the scheming Beta and accepting Elara, not just as his mate, but as his equal. ​5. The Resolution and Happy Ever After (HEA) ​Ryan declares Elara his true Luna, uniting the Alpha’s power with the Human Mate’s strategic intelligence. The Lycans defeat their enemy, and the twins, now secure, begin to display their hybrid gifts, stabilizing the pack’s future. Elara and Ryan find a genuine, loving partnership built on respect, not dominance. Elara maintains her CEO role, ruling both the corporate world and the pack side-by-side with Ryan, ensuring their twin heirs are raised in a house where both strength and strategy are valued.

Lucas transmigrates to a parallel world and is thrilled to discover that many of the classic, brilliant games from his past life don’t exist here. Eager to make his mark, he’s also burdened with an "Emotion Collection System"—where players’ emotions like joy, sorrow, excitement, fear, and anger from his games make him stronger. But why is it so much easier to harvest resentment than happiness? Staring at his point earnings, Lucas is utterly baffled. And so, his career as a game designer takes a… creative turn. In Undertale, players slam their desks and scream: "I’m the one being played by this game!" In Outlast, players shriek: "The locker moved! I quit—NOPE!" In Dark Souls, players cheerfully boot up the game, only to beg: "Leave the Fire Keeper and GET OUT! Take your damn flame with you—we refuse to link it!" In Call of Duty, Soap, Roach, and Ghost meet tragic ends; in Final Fantasy VII, Zack falls in battle and Aerith meets her fate; in Red Dead Redemption, Arthur and John are betrayed… Players collectively rage: "DAMN YOU, LUCAS, YOU SADISTIC OLD FOX! CAN’T YOU BE KINDA TO YOUR PROTAGONISTS?!" When asked by a reporter how he feels about players’ fury, LUCAS smiles faintly: "This isn’t hatred—it’s the world’s players urging me forward! This is LOVE! Thank you all; I’ll keep up the good work!"

Time Magazine once gave this review of a man: "Mr. Yang is a great inventor. The products he created changed how hundreds of millions live, work, and travel." "At the same time, his inventions created millions of jobs and made outstanding contributions to regional economies." ... Never would he have imagined—Yang Wendong, already a successful entrepreneur, would accidentally travel back to the 1950s. Given a second chance, he would once again rise from nothing, climb to the peak of this era, and build a century-spanning Chinese family empire.

n a city built on lies, survival is the only truth. Mara grew up watching the system destroy those who believed in it — her parents among them — and learned that hope was a trap. Then she met Eli. A boy who carried a light she thought impossible, a quiet defiance against a world crumbling under corruption, propaganda, and fear. He vanished without a trace, leaving Mara with a spark she could neither explain nor forget. Years later, Mara becomes a symbol of rebellion, exposing the lies the powerful cling to, surviving riots, blackouts, and government control. And even as she ages, and the world repeats its cycles of chaos, the memory of a boy named Eli endures — proof that even in the darkest times, a light can survive.

“The machines conquered the world. What they can’t conquer is the dream that makes us human.” In the distant future of the multiverse, where AI rules the Earth, humans are slaves. The machines are logical, ruthless, and immortal — yet they are haunted by their lack of true consciousness. A group of human rebels devises a daring plan to exploit that weakness by convincing the machines that they can gain consciousness by reliving the emotionally charged combat experience of real WW2 fighter pilots. A sophisticated illusion that gives the rebels vital time to delay a machine offensive to destroy humanity. Later, the war becomes not just a physical but a spiritual conflict between good and evil, and the same team of rebels returns to a future alternative world, almost identical to the original. It is here that their leader, David, must identify and kill the Satanic personification of evil who lives in this world, disguised as an ordinary man. Guided by the mysterious Lingzhe—beings who understand that mind, not logic, birthed the universe—they must battle not only Satan but also the AI machines who have become his agents. In this evolutionary war between man and machine, good and evil, there can only be one winner. *** Copyright. A. McCaffrey. All rights reserved. “Zhuangzi’s Butterfly” is an original work by A. M.

We all love Call of Duty—well, who doesn’t? For Reever, it wasn’t just a game. It was his life’s battlefield, his digital home, and the one place where he could still feel young. After decades of dominance in the gaming world, Reever—now ninety and bedridden—receives an unexpected visit from the creators of Call of Duty: Ascend.EXE, the next-generation VR experience that blurs the line between player and soldier.

A metallic voice greeted him: “Welcome, Bot-067.” Now trapped inside the system, Reever must survive a world built from code, blood, and broken memories. Death no longer frees him—it resets him. And as the system grows aware, he begins to wonder if he’s still playing the game… or if the game is now playing him.
