I’m your average girl—well, *was*—who spends most of her days buried in CEO romance novels. Yeah, I know, *so cliche*, right? But hey, we all have our guilty pleasures. So, what about work, you ask? Well, my job made it easy to read the day away as long as I got my tasks done by the end of the day. Sounds perfect, right? Simple, right? Well, that's because I was a librarian. *Past tense.* Why? Because some arrogant, narcissistic jerk gets me fired. Why? Apparently, I didn’t notice him walking up to the counter because I was too busy getting lost in my latest book. Now, you’d think any *normal* person would just tap me on the shoulder and say, “Excuse me.” But no, this guy *decides* to get me fired. Rude? Oh, you bet. But that’s not even the worst part. Oh, no. The real problem started when I decided to get my revenge. That’s when I got tangled up with him… in more ways than one. Now, not only am I working for this narcissistic jerk, but I’m doing it undercover. Why? Because apparently, he has an issue with women working for him... especially when things get *too close* in the sheets. (Yeah, you *get* where this is going.) So, I’m pretending to be a man. Why? Because I need the job. It’s high-paying, and it’s my ticket out of my miserable, *pathetic* life. I mean, revenge is great and all, but I’ve got bills to pay. Money’s my new love, and there’s no way I’m letting some petty rivalry get in the way of it. The tricky part? Balancing my need for cash with the fear of being exposed. I’ve got two huge secrets: one, I’m the woman who shared the sheets with him. And two? I’m a woman, disguised as a man, and praying every day that my cover doesn’t blow. One wrong move, and my entire life—my job, my reputation, my *revenge*—could come crashing down. So, yeah, no pressure. But hey, what’s life without a little drama, right? Right."

Lyla Morgan's life was a disaster. Twenty-eight years old. Philosophy PhD candidate at NYU. Eighty failed blind dates. Zero romantic prospects. Then one rainy night in Brooklyn, everything changed. A supernatural system binds her with an impossible contract: seduce and reject twenty men, or become a succubus slave forever. Overnight, her plain appearance transforms into devastating beauty. Every man she meets falls helplessly under her spell. Including the one person who was supposed to hate her. Professor Ethan Cross from Columbia University has been Lyla's academic rival for three years. They've competed for publications, clashed at conferences, and perfected the art of professional contempt. But when the system forces Lyla to target him, Ethan's carefully controlled world shatters. By day, he becomes a lovesick fool trailing after her. By night, he slaps himself awake, horrified by his own obsession. As Lyla loses control to the system's dark power, Ethan notices something wrong. The fear behind her perfect smile. The desperation when she flirts. She's not playing games. She's trapped. And Ethan might be the only one who can break her chains. A dark romantic comedy about supernatural contracts, academic rivalry, and the dangerous line between forced seduction and real love.

My system is my future villain self. He's narcissistic, powerful, and determined to make sure I enjoy the path to godhood this time. Khalil Morrison died a nobody. Woke up with a golden-crowned admin named Regis who's actually him—his future self who conquered the multiverse and died alone. Now Kal can control Concepts. Turn Death, Time, and Swordsmanship into living warriors. Build armies of legends. But the entity that corrupted him once is watching again. Good thing he's got Sienna—the only girl who tells him "no" when the multiverse says "yes, Your Majesty." From street-level loser to multiversal sovereign. From victim to god. From alone to loved. The question isn't IF he'll become powerful enough to reshape reality. It's whether he can do it without becoming the villain again.

THE SOVEREIGN’S GLITCH — THE RED EXECUTION "The world didn't end. It just became a lie." The War is over. The 'Dark City' has vanished. Vishal, the man who became a monster to save humanity, triggered the ultimate [RESET]. Now, the sun is bright, the dead are back to life, and everyone has forgotten the nightmare. Except for Aditi. She is [PLAYER 002], the only person who remembers the taste of ozone and the smell of blood. She looks at the sky and sees blue, but the System notification on her skin tells a different story: [REALITY: 99% SIMULATED]. Behind the billion-dollar success of V.A.S. Solutions stands her best friend, Sameer. He looks human, he acts human, but his shadow is a three-story monster made of serrated glass. He isn't a CEO; he is the Host for a System that is quietly harvesting the souls of everyone who "connects" to his network. [MISSION: DELETE THE ARCHITECT] As the global upload hits 99%, Aditi is forced to make a terrifying choice: The Shepherd: Accept the fake paradise and live a lie. The Rebel: Destroy the System and kill Sameer to free the world. The Red Execution: Invite the "Original Sin"—the mysterious [PLAYER 001]—back into reality. When the silver lighter in her hand begins to bleed violet fire, Aditi realizes the horrifying truth: Vishal didn't save the world. He just gave the System a better disguise. "I'm not here to play the game," Aditi whispers as the sky begins to crack like glass. "I'm here to crash it." Why this works for your readers: The Mystery: Who is Player 001? (This keeps them reading). The Stakes: If she fails, humanity becomes "Data." The Emotional Twist: She has to fight her own friends (Vishal and Sameer).

I, Nate Cole, Captain of CSI, am damn fucking good at my job. I followed the law, trusted the evidence, and never let anyone distract me… not even the criminals I locked behind bars. Until Adrian Blackwood was forced back into my life, the dark, ruthless, devastatingly handsome Mafia Boss serving a twenty‑year sentence at Hell’s Watch, the city’s most notorious high‑security prison. A fortress built to cage mafia lords, serial offenders, and corrupt officials, and a place where even the guards whispered about inmates who ruled empires from behind steel bars. And he was exactly the kind of man I was raised to despise. “You’re the one who came to me, Nate Cole… what makes you think I’ll cooperate with you or that you can resist me?” His gray eyes smoldered, daring me to look away. I leaned back, meeting his gaze evenly. “Resist you? Please. You’re a bastard behind bars. I don’t do fantasies… and I don’t entertain criminals.” He smirked, stepping closer, voice low and teasing. “Criminals, maybe… but you look like someone who enjoys losing control, and I bet, I can make you beg.” He was the key to a case I couldn’t solve without him, and every glance, every word, every brush of his presence set my pulse racing. His control was intoxicating, and his power is undeniable. “I will break you beautifully, completely, and only into mine,” he whispered, a dangerous promise that shattered every rational thought in my head as the sizzling chemistry and attraction rose between us. I was supposed to stay professional, fucking resist, but some chains weren’t meant to be broken… and some temptations weren’t meant to be denied. Adrian Blackwood was my enemy, and falling for him might have been the most dangerous, most thrilling crime I’d ever committed. I had no idea which one of us was going to survive the darkness… me or him or the fucking world was going to burn.

This is not your typical survival story. Two centuries ago, the world tried to cure hunger. The solution was an injection called HungerNull. It worked. For ten years, no one who took it felt hunger. Africa, where starvation had cut the deepest wounds, received most of the doses. Then the miracle turned. Those saved by HungerNull mutated into mindless predators known as Nulls, nearly wiping out the continent. In fear and desperation, the rest of the world made a ruthless decision. They sealed Africa off. But Africa did not fall. From the chaos, a new empire rose behind massive walls. Humanity adapted. And among the survivors, a rare kind of human emerged — beings unlike any seen before. They were called Oxides. Now, 200 years later, this new Africa stands powerful, dangerous, and unknown to the outside world. When Kairo’s world is suddenly torn apart, he is forced beyond the safety he has always known, he has only one goal: Find his sister, Ayanda.

For the first time since losing everything, a spark lit within him. With this second opportunity, Kailen vows to never be weak again. In a world where strength determines identity, status, and survival, he will rise above every boundary placed upon him. He will shatter every perception of strength.

Any resemblance to real names, places, or events is coincidental. This is an extremely fast-paced novel, and the protagonist becomes absurdly overpowered. He is not the usual “hero complex” type. The villain and antihero tags are not for show. If you are looking for a “goody-two-shoes” protagonist, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. He makes decisions that those interested in hero complex protagonists may not find pleasant. Note for Readers (Please do not skip): Early on, Kailen awakens with a shadow affinity. Yes—it may remind you of popular works you've read… but this is only the beginning. As the story progresses, he will unlock and master multiple affinities. The shadow affinity is a nod to some of my favorite novels, but the journey, characters, and world are entirely my own. Join the Community: Care to interact with me and other readers?

Kael was born remembering the universe. In the remote village of Willow Creek, he awakens a forgotten bloodline—the Celestial Vein, a living connection to the fundamental laws of existence. His cultivation potential isn’t high. It’s infinite. Discovered by the Verdant Sword Sect, Kael is forced to suppress his true affinity for Light, Wind, and Lightning and submit to slower, safer paths of power—or be destroyed. He chooses survival, hiding his true nature behind perfect obedience. But power suppressed does not fade. It waits. With only Elara—the girl who followed him into captivity—and a crippled elder who knows forbidden truths, Kael uncovers the Vein’s secret: it is not power, but memory—the accumulated will of nearly two hundred predecessors, seeking one final bearer strong enough to finish their work. And that work is not cultivation. It is becoming a universe. From escaping a spiritual prison to forging worlds, from mortal realms to cosmic planes, Kael and Elara rise together—two souls bound by loyalty, love, and the refusal to rule through domination. This is not a story about conquering reality. It is a story about listening to it. Stargazer’s Odyssey is a progression fantasy epic about memory, growth, love, and what it means to become infinite without losing yourself.
