Twenty-one-year-old Ryder Callahan is a misunderstood high school dropout with a reputation for being a delinquent. Getting suspended countless times from high school and, in the end, just dropping out. The only things that seem to interest him are smoking and knitting, a hobby he picked up from his late grandmother. Despite his rough outer shell, Ryder is loyal to his family and helpful around the house (when he isn't high), qualities that his mother loves and the only reason his parents haven't kicked him out yet. One day, Ryder finds himself in a situation where, while indulging in his usual routine of smoking and knitting in a secluded corner of a park near his house, he sees a brutal altercation between rival gangs that leaves him confused as fuck. Little does he know, his presence didn’t go unnoticed. Dominic Caruso, the notorious mafia boss known for his ruthless killings and feared reputation, catches wind of Ryder's witness to the crime. Initially angered by the potential threat to his whole way of life, Dom's curiosity is piqued when he learns more about the young man. Despite the empire he has built himself into, Dom is intrigued by Ryder’s indifference to the danger he's stumbled upon and his unconventional hobbies, and he can't get enough. He wants him. He needs him. And he's going to get him one way or another. This is I can't move on by yours, truly.

Revenge is, by all means, one of the most guaranteed things to happen when a warlord with dragon blood in his veins and ether at his side is betrayed, poisoned, and reduced not to death but to decades of obliterating pain as his ether channels burn from his very soul. Only one remained. One channel, thin and fragile around his heart, survived long enough for him to endure, to wait, to plan, to manipulate, and, eventually, to return to the world with one clear purpose: to burn down the nation of the traitor who thought he had erased him for good. But then came a fortune teller at a street stall. And with the fortune teller came a dare Arik accepted for fun, a spread of cards drawn with no real expectation beyond momentary amusement. Instead, he found something far more dangerous than revenge waiting for him. His mate. A story of rebirth, revenge, enemies-to-allies-to-lovers, political ruin, ether, and the deeply unfortunate reality that the one person tied to Arik’s fate may be the very last person he should ever want. — Warnings, disclaimers, cries for help… call them whatever you want. This is the third book set in the same universe, but it can be read on its own. The world will be fully presented, so nobody needs to do homework before stepping into the chaos. For anyone curious, the first two books are: Bound by the Mark of Lies Shadow Unit Scandal: The Commander’s Omega This universe is ABO dragged directly into etherpunk, political fantasy, violence, bad coping mechanisms, and my ongoing inability to let powerful people make emotionally healthy decisions. There will be violence. There will be gore. There will be smut. There will also be vengeance, terrible restraint, worse impulses, emotional damage, and at least one man reacting to fate like it personally insulted his bloodline. Good luck.

The world has always hidden its monsters. Not the creatures of myth or legend, but the people who operate in the shadows, shaping history without ever appearing in it. When a mysterious substance known as Haikitium begins changing the balance of power, two secret organizations find themselves locked in a conflict that could alter the future of humanity. One seeks control. The other seeks to stop them. Caught between them are individuals transformed into something beyond ordinary human limits. As old secrets surface and new threats emerge, the line between weapon and person begins to blur. Alliances are tested, loyalties fracture, and questions arise that neither side is prepared to answer. But this is not the story of a war. It is only one chapter in a much larger world. A world where heroes, villains, myths, monsters, and forgotten powers exist beyond the edges of what is known. A world whose greatest conflicts have not yet begun. For now, the shadows are moving. And someone is preparing for what comes next.

A battleground where Chaos and Order wage war. And Kai? He is neither. He is something far worse, carrying a Glitch — a forbidden anomaly that lets him devour magical creatures, assimilate their abilities, and evolve. To ascend beyond mortality, Kai must consume worlds, crush their champions, and rewrite their fates. He bends the Harry Potter timeline to his will. He manipulates the Great Houses of Game of Thrones like pawns. He fuses the very realities of Demon Slayer, Bleach, and more into his domain. His Breathing Style warps the laws of Reality Marbles. His mind becomes an Artificial Intelligence. His spirit wields the Will of D. Dumbledore fears him. The Akatsuki hunt him. The Gotei 13, the Warlords, the Jedi—all have stood in his way. All have fallen. Kai no longer walks as a mere Contestant—he is ascending into something Eldritch. Corpses stack like monuments in his wake and Timelines fracture as he upends the lores of the worlds. He does not follow Chaos. He does not obey Order. He bends Reality to his will.

Reborn as General Zod, who was about to be exiled after the failed coup, he was powerless to save Krypton from destruction. In order to change his fate of having his neck broken by Superman, the son of the DC Universe, in the future, Zod plans to find a place with the sun and live there peacefully. However, he didn't expect that the Myriad Worlds Roulette System would be activated at this time. At the beginning, he would obtain the complete inheritance of the Emperor's Scripture of the Holy Emperor of the Sun, and he could also obtain the number of roulette draws by triggering tasks. The first time he drew, he got the sunflower from Plants vs. Zombies. Even without solar radiation, he could still unlock the super talents of Kryptonians. So Zod decisively changed his goal. He planned to arrive on Earth in advance, retrieve the Codex of Life from Superman, use the Creation Chamber technology to mass-produce Kryptonians, and gradually rebuild a new Krypton. As he continued to complete tasks and gain more draws from the Wheel of All Worlds, Zod also gained more treasures and abilities. From the energy crystals that can give life to planets in Armor Hero Xingtian, to the seeds of the Tree of Life in Ultraman Orb, or the dimensional wall that can travel through parallel time and space at will in Kamen Rider Decade... He found the super Kryptonian Hale, defeated Superman, improved and upgraded the Kryptonian genes, and then he had a group of super Kryptonian warriors who had no weaknesses and were powerful enough to rival gods. From then on, the name of New Krypton resounded throughout the multiverse and even in all the heavens and worlds. -------------------------------- 40 advanced chapters are now available on Patreon!

In a story where the villain was never meant to survive, Choi Yeonho plans to steal everything that was originally taken from him — including the male leads themselves. But the deeper Yeonho digs into the truth, the more shocking revelations begin to surface, slowly exposing secrets capable of destroying everyone involved.
