A modern director unexpectedly returns to Hollywood in 1986, and began his legendary journey to take control of the centre of largest film and television industry in the world, step by step. (This is a translated novel by Just Do or Jia Si Te Du, at least as far I could find, I've mainly edited it to make it more consistent and coherent than any version I could find)

Nate spent his life fixing other people’s problems while being ignored, mocked, and discarded. When the world falls apart, that same quiet competence keeps him alive. Betrayed, robbed, and left to die, Nate sheds the last pieces of who he was. What emerges is not a hero, but something colder, smarter, and relentless. In a broken world, usefulness is power.

'South of the Tropic of Cancer, in the shadows where the scorching sun cannot reach, anything can be sealed.' Welcome to Malaysia, a land entangled in monsoons and ancient sorcery. Here, the world’s elite Card Hunters don't wear grand robes; they wear flip-flops and haunt both humid wet markets (pasar) and glittering casinos. Lin Haoran, an ordinary young man, finds himself caught up in a conspiracy involving a transnational Card Syndicate. He soon discovers that the world he knew is a mere façade. In the 'Shadow Side' of the equator, ancient terrors are awakening: the relentless Oil Men (Orang Minyak), the terrifying Severed-Head Leeches (Penanggalan) and evil spirit cards lurking within the steel skeletons of modern skyscrapers. His only survival tool? A mysterious, charred black card that he picked up at a roadside stall in Kuala Lumpur — the Nameless Black Card. 'Remember, in Nanyang, the most terrifying thing isn't the ghost... it’s the card hidden in the human heart.'

Urban Assassin In a city gripped by a tyrannical government that hunts down anyone with extraordinary gifts, 16-year-old Jet Kaze—a Nigerian-Japanese assassin with black dreads, brown skin, and the terrifying power of void manipulation—marks every kill with his signature graffiti before vanishing into the shadows. When Police Chief Zarkan (trust him at your own risk) dangles the chance to join the secret Astral Institute—a rebel academy training the gifted to overthrow the regime—Jet takes the bait, driven by vengeance for the family the system destroyed. There, he reunites with his fire-wielding, hammer-swinging best friend Kai Kazan (a silver-haired Japanese-Brazilian with an endless appetite), and childhood friend Mai Akaru (navy-blue messy bun, kind yet airheaded, master of advanced telekinesis, deadly with arrows and dagger, and secretly crushing hard). Joined by a dangerous squad—cunning illusionist Aiko Tanaka (short purple hair, stealth assassin vibes), magnetic (and later electric) manipulator Kenji Jackson (afro, gadget suit, tactical agility), and energy-channeling bo staff fighter Takashi Yumi—they train under the red-haired, laid-back but vibration-controlling Sensei Raiko, whose katana hides a razor-sharp edge. Their first mission without backup explodes into chaos: government mercenaries overwhelm them, friends fall, and defeat looms—until Hikaru Yuji, a long-haired, blindfolded ninja descendant with a massive scythe that splits into sickles and the eerie ability to instantly swap anything in his presence, drops in like death itself. Friendship. Hidden feelings. Shady alliances. Powers that could liberate a nation—or doom it. The gifted are rising. One void, one strike, one revolution. Urban Assassin — Where every tag is a death sentence, every lesson is war, and trust is the deadliest weapon of all. [email protected]

Lucas opened his eyes to an unexpected sight, a beautiful woman beside him, a luxurious bed beneath him, and a room that screamed wealth and power. With a transmigration this unusual, one realization struck him immediately. “This situation doesn’t suit a hero at all.” And he was right. He wasn’t the hero. He was the villain! Not just any villain, but one from a story he had once read. A world of magi, martial spirits, and magic, a modern fantasy where miracles were real, destiny was enforced, and the hero was never meant to lose. But there was one small problem. “Where’s my system?!” Going up against a hero protected by divine favor and absurd luck sounded like suicide. Yet Lucas didn’t despair. What was he lacking? A striking appearance? He had it. An ancient noble family with a lineage spanning thousands of years? He was born into it. Unmatched magical talent? It flowed through his veins. Everything others begged a system for, Lucas already possessed. Instead of relying on some flashy cheat or divine handout, he chose another path. Armed with knowledge of the story, cold logic, and meticulous strategy, Lucas would walk the villain’s road, and rewrite a fate where the hero was never meant to win.

The Prince and the Pack: Redpaveley’s Gilded Vow ​One is a fallen prince of the High City; the other is the silver-haired heart of the wild. ​Drayan was never meant for the mud and mist of Redpaveley. An exiled vampire prince with a dark past and a heart of obsidian, he expected to live out his days in lonely silence. But his father, Drac, has other plans—a forced marriage contract with the most cheerful, dangerous girl in the village: Wolfie. ​Wolfie is everything Drayan isn’t—warm, wild, and the daughter of the Alpha. She’s the light that threatens to melt his icy walls, but in a world where vampires and werewolves are natural enemies, their "union" is a spark in a powder keg. ​When the High City comes to claim their "Key," and the "Angel" snobs try to tear Wolfie down, Drayan must reveal the raw, muscular power he’s been hiding. He isn't just a city boy playing house; he is a protector who will break every bone in the High Council to keep his bride safe. ​In the flash of the lens and the heat of the full moon, a new legend is born. Will their forced bond become the revolution the world needs, or will the secrets of the High City burn Redpaveley to the ground?

There was an idea… If he could save up 1,000,000 dollars by doing part-time and odd jobs before he graduated from college, then he could take it easy in life. He wouldn’t need to tire himself out applying for and working at a job he didn’t like, or he could even retire before he ever found one. In fact, he could quit college before he graduated. Well, it was a foolish idea… Especially when he passed out from sheer exhaustion—from working his part-time jobs at the shopping mall last night and the convenience store until dawn, from attending his morning classes without sleep, and from skipping lunch just to save up more money. —DING!— [The Save-Up Fantasy System has been granted to you in acknowledgment of your belief and resolve to live up to your foolish idea.] [Initiating system in 3… 2… 1…] --- Disclaimer – The image used for the book cover is not mine, nor are the concept designs for the characters.

This is a future world where human technology is highly advanced. It is also an era that sparked a frenzy of Life Evolution in the Martial Path.

Years later. "My current flying speed is 122,682 meters per second, and my power burst is..." Li Yuan flew at extreme speeds through the atmosphere about 180 kilometers above the surface of Blue Star, his cold eyes fixed on the massive creature at the dark void's edge, resembling the mythological dragon: "You, must be the strongest among all the invading Demigod life forms."

It all started when he met the beautiful Chairman Qin Ruojing, and thus his destined-to-be eventful urban life began to unfold.

In the bodyguard profession, merely having agile skills is obviously not enough. A high-class bodyguard also needs to have a smart mind and extraordinary combat power. And if he can also possess the superpower to handle any opponent and god-like methods, then undoubtedly this guy is an outstanding elite. Lin Mu is clearly such an oddity!
