While Humanity scrambled just to survive, Arthur Tempest navigates through the ruined world using his meta-knowledge.

The world did not end in a single moment. It crumbled piece by piece. Not because humanity was weak, but because it realized the truth too late. Pryan Gwanar lived long enough to watch it all disappear his land, his people, his family, until even hope was crushed by forces no human could stand against. When death finally reached him, it did not come alone. He was offered a choice. To return. Pryan awakens in his childhood, years before the end begins, carrying memories of failure, regret, and a future that no longer exists. This time, he does not chase glory or revenge. He understands now that strength alone was never enough—and that the world cannot be saved by a single blade. So he prepares. Quietly. Carefully. Without letting anyone notice. But the past does not unfold as it once did. Events shift. Shadows move too early. As unseen forces begin to interfere, Pryan realizes something is wrong. Returning has made him visible to those who should not yet exist. The path he once failed to walk now hides dangers that were never there before. This is not a story about a hero destined to save the world. It is a story about restraint, consequence, and the choices that must be made before the end arrives again.

Every "Diver" gets 96 hours on Earth before the Black Thirst disease drags them back... Back to Thirstfall—a brutal otherworld where a ruthless system called Ocean's Law decides who lives, who dies, and who gets erased. Most Divers break within a year. Dryden Sands lasted ten. He clawed from nothing to Rank-A with a class everyone called trash. He mapped hidden dungeons, cracked the system's blind spots, and survived things that shouldn't be survivable. Then the person he trusted most killed his family and took everything. Including his life. But dying triggered something—a relic fused to his soul that no one was supposed to find. It didn't save him. It reset him. Same world. Same body. Directly to Day one, when everything started. He knows where every secret is buried. Every trap. Every traitor. But his body is Rank-F, his new class is rated SSS, his time is bleeding out, and the system has already flagged him as something that shouldn't exist. In Thirstfall, the ocean doesn't just drown the weak. It hunts who shouldn't belong anymore. -------------- #No harem. #No romance plot armor. #Mostly survival.

He was born different, and he did not want the throne. But sometimes, life is all about fate, and inevitability. Or a grandpa whose scheme extends beyond his grave. . . . Their first meeting? She broke into his apartment and tied him to a chair. Of course she got what she wanted, but not the last laugh, ending up tied to him in what could only be called a forced engagement. After all, only if she was his other half should she share his misfortune with him, right? Right? So… “Grandp– Grandpa, you have screwed me over.” “Of course not.” “But–” “No but. You are my favorite grandson, how can I not want what is best for you?” “You tied me to the woman who tortured me and most probably planned to kill me! And you say that is the best for me?” “Oh, don't overdramatize things, grandson. We both know you just played along.” “...” “Anyway, the red string has already been tied. There is nothing that can be done anymore.” “Gramps–” “Shuuut, go away. I’m already dead, stop bothering me.” “Gramps–” “There, there… Go, fate is waiting for you.” “Arghhh… Damn you, old man!!!” “Hehehe… You will thank me later.” "ARGHHHHH!!! DAMN YOU OLD MAN!!!”

In America’s most powerful business families, blood determines everything, well except for Alfred Lancaster. Born as the illegitimate son of the formidable Stanley family head, Alfred grew up inside the walls of unimaginable wealth but outside the circle of acceptance. To the world, Alfred didn’t exist. According to the Stanley family, he was a stain to be hidden. The only thing they ever offered him was distance and a monthly payment of $55,000 to keep him silent and invisible. Alfred was forbidden from using their legendary surname. But amidst all this family never realized was that Alfred didn’t need their name, he had something far more dangerous: A mind built for domination. Alfred was a genius in his own right, business and finance were second nature to him. From childhood, Alfred secretly studied global markets, corporate structures, and financial warfare. While the Stanleys ignored him, mocked him, and underestimated him, he quietly built something no one could see, an invisible fortune moving through layers of hidden investments and shell structures across the world. By his 18th birthday, Alfred Lancaster had achieved the impossible. $500 billion in liquid cash....Self-made.....Untraceable.....Untouchable. But on the very day he reached adulthood, the Stanley family revealed a truth that changed everything. Years earlier, Alfred’s late grandfather had forced his father to sign a binding contract requiring the Stanley family to shelter him for 20 years. Now that Alfred was legally an adult, his stepmother made their position clear: He had two years left before he would be expelled from the Stanley Mansion forever. To Alfred this meant two years of protection, access and opportunity. Most people would have panicked but not Alfred he actually smiled, because to him, the equation was simple: Two years + $500 billion = an empire. If he had to leave the Stanleys in two years… then he would leave as something they could never ignore again. From that day forward, the quiet illegitimate son they called a burden disappeared—and something far more dangerous took his place. Working silently from the shadows of the very Family that rejected him, Alfred began assembling the foundations of a hidden corporate kingdom. He acquired failing firms before anyone noticed their value, repositioned capital across continents, he also recruited brilliant minds loyal only to him and constructed a mysterious private consortium whispered about in financial and business circles but never fully understood: A.L. Consortium. Just a name with pure influence, fear and results but no face and no public owner. While the Stanley family believed they were raising a powerless cub waiting to be cast out, Alfred Lancaster was quietly becoming a predator watching from the dark. Within two years, he would leave their home, five years later, he would return to the world stage. And when he finally reveales himself, the truth would shake governments, corporations, and dynasties alike: Now the question isn’t whether Alfred Lancaster will rise. The question is : What happens when the Stanley family realizes the boy they tried to discard has become the force that can decide their fate… and the fate of nations?

In a galaxy divided by war, politics, and fragile alliances, one man risks everything to prove a theory the universe has already dismissed as madness. Dr. Adam Fulkore, a disgraced expert in ancient technology, believes that the long-lost Osdronian Dynasty never truly vanished—they evolved, transferring their minds into powerful synthetic bodies hidden across the stars. Mocked by his peers and on the brink of obscurity, Fulkore is given one final chance: a fully funded expedition to uncover the truth. But opportunity comes at a cost. Backed by a dying benefactor desperate to escape his failing body, Fulkore leads a team into the ruins of an ancient civilization. What they discover will shatter not only his theory—but his humanity. When Fulkore merges with a dormant artificial intelligence buried within the ruins, he becomes something far more than human… and far more dangerous. Bound together in a single body, man and machine forge a new purpose: unity through assimilation… or annihilation. As the Fulkore Collective is born, entire worlds stand on the brink of extinction. With an army of converted minds and stolen technology, Fulkore sets his sights on revenge, evolution, and the eradication of all who resist. In a galaxy already at war, a new force rises—one that does not negotiate, does not hesitate… and does not forgive. Join the Collective… or be erased.

The life of the underworld was something Ashley had dreamed of escaping all her life. Born as a bastard from an affair between an underworld kingpin and a prostitute, Ashley was meant to die even before she was born. The only reason she survived was that her father thought she was a boy. From a young age, she understood that if she wanted to survive in this world of violence—on top of her father’s wife and daughter’s schemes—she had to be useful. So, she made herself a promise: one day, she would escape this world. Ashley almost succeeded… until her father found her again and thrust her into a marriage of convenience with his rival, Dominion, in his beloved daughter’s place. Everyone in the underworld knew Dominion. They were cruel, organized, and simply spawns of evil. And the man who stood above that power, Luciano, was said to be downright diabolical. Just their name alone could make anyone tremble. And this organization was where Ashley now had to survive. To make matters worse, the marriage also came with a child — Luciano’s mute heir. Forced to become the wife of one of the most violent and powerful underworld organizations, and the mother of its future leader, Ashley made a vow. “No matter what, I’ll escape this place!” But she would soon realize it wouldn’t be as simple as that. Not when the feared members of Dominion clung to her feet, begging, “Madam, don’t go!” And when the mute stepson finally spoke, “Mommy, if you’re leaving, please take me with you.” Finally, her diabolical, obsessive, and utterly territorial husband said, “I’ve packed our things. Where should we go?” *** Chat with me in Discord! Link: https://discord.gg/AUqYr3hchA Follow me on Instagram - @author_bajj

We've all read those mafia romances. The one where the godly handsome, picture-perfect, extremely ruthless mafia king rejects all the gorgeous, sexy ladies ( even though he's slept with half of them ) for the beautiful, innocent, untouched, holier-than-thou common woman who only marries him to pay off her sick grandma's medical bills and then slowly ends up falling for him. This is not one of those stories. Excerpt: Lynx stepped a little closer to his target, his intentions far from subtle. "Having a good night?" he asked, pretending to watch the couples swaying across the ballroom floor. "Why wouldn't I be?" Shayna replied without looking at him. "Merely observing," Lynx chuckled. "Are you missing someone?" he continued, staring ahead. "Are there no other beautiful women for you to entertain?" Shayna whispered, slightly annoyed. "There are," he admitted, his chest rising slightly. "But there is only one I can't seem to look away from." A faint blush crept across Shayna's cheeks before she turned her head. "And what exactly do you want from this lucky woman?" A smile tugged at his lips. "A dance, perhaps. And a smoke afterwards." .......................................................................... Shayna Hazel Alonso doesn't qualify as a lady by any known definition of the word. She smokes too much, curses like a sailor, and hates male chivalry from the depths of her heart. But she has a secret. Shayna lives a double life as a corporate employee who just wants to get through the day and Vixen, the underworld's infamous prodigy, who unfortunately attracts the most questionable kinds of people. After years of betrayal—first by the father who sold her into prostitution, and then by the people she once believed were just like her—Shayna has finally learned not to trust anyone. And for the last time, she does not want to deal with any more shit. Naturally, life has other plans. So what happens when she ends up stealing from the one person nobody in their right mind would ever cross? In the underworld, everyone has a line they swear they'll never cross. Until they do. And that's when people become, for lack of a better phrase... Morally Fucked. P.S. The FMC of the story is strictly child-free and will remain so throughout the story.
