Luke is nothing more than a poor, a lowlife, insignificant nobody. At least, that is what people believes. Mocked, trampled on, and treated like trash, he endures humiliation for years in silence. No one knows that behind his ordinary appearance, lies a terrifying truth. --- A/N: To Rule The World is the official and remastered English translation of my original Filipino novel, A Trillionaire in Disguise.

Seraphina Hale died at twenty-three. At the hands of the people she trusted most—her sister Evelyn, her mother Victoria, and her fiancé Derek. She had built Hale Lumina into a jewelry empire by twenty. She was brilliant, driven, unstoppable. She had everything—a thriving company, a man she loved, a future that sparkled like the diamonds she designed. Then Derek proposed. At an award ceremony dedicated to her. On one knee. To her sister. Using her ring design. The world watched. The hashtags exploded. She became the villain—the jealous sister who slapped him in front of everyone. Her company crashed. Her reputation shattered. Desperate and broken, she fell into their trap. They kidnapped her. Tortured her. Killed her. Staged it as suicide. Evelyn took her company. Her mother gave touching interviews. They got away with everything. Then Seraphina woke up. Five days after the proposal. Two days before her murder. She has a second chance. But she can't survive alone. Enter Alexander Langford—the brilliant scholarship kid from boarding school who became the most powerful CEO in Athena Country. Now he's offering salvation: three hundred million dollars, his name as her shield, and a marriage contract for two years. No love. Strictly business. Just one catch—Alexander controls her safety completely. But when Alexander cups her face and promises "I will protect you forever," she believes him. When his storm-blue eyes hold hers with devastating intensity, she feels safe for the first time. This marriage is supposed to be fake. So why does it feel so real? What Seraphina doesn't know: Alexander is also reborn. He loved her for fifteen years, died mourning her, and now has one chance to save her. This time, he won't be too late.

On her half-sister's wedding day, Fia's world shatters. Hazel, the bride, has allegedly eloped with Fia's fated mate, and over the phone he rejects her without mercy. With the Alpha groom ready to unleash war on her pack, and spurred on by her stepmother's pleas, Fia makes a desperate choice; she takes Hazel's place at the altar. But the marriage is nothing more than a cruel setup. Betrayed by her family and accused of stealing her sister's happiness, Fia becomes the perfect target for Alpha Cian's wrath. Humiliated and furious, he vows to keep her as his mate not out of love, but revenge. He swears he will break her, torment her, and make her pay until the end of time. What neither of them expects is that hate can twist, burn, and evolve into something far more dangerous. Between lies, betrayal, and a growing bond neither wants to acknowledge, Fia and Cian are bound to discover that the thin line between hate and love is meant to be crossed.

She was the girl nobody wanted, easy to overlook, easy to blame, and impossible to love. Growing up in her pack taught her early that she would always be the outsider. So she made herself a promise: keep her head down, survive the years, and walk away the moment she turned eighteen. But fate never plays fair. On the night she finally becomes an adult, her wolf awakens at last… and along with it, a mate bond she never asked for. And the mate fate chooses for her? The future Alpha. Her sister’s devoted fiancé. The boy who spent her entire childhood making sure she knew she didn’t belong. She hates him. Despises him. Wants absolutely nothing to do with him. But the bond has other plans. Suddenly, the Alpha-to-be, arrogant, sharp-tongued, and stubborn to the point of madness, can’t breathe without her. He’s furious that fate tied him to the girl he once broke… and even more furious that he can’t stay away from her now. She wants nothing but freedom. He wants her within reach. She keeps pushing him off. He keeps coming back. Because the one girl he never wanted has become the one his wolf refuses to live without. And as long-buried secrets surface, loyalties splinter, and unwanted feelings start to burn between them, one question lingers… Can something broken truly be rebuilt, or have they already crossed the point of no return?

In a Universe of Galactic Empires, Hiveminds and Alien Races, human poet Lyron Leigh is condemned for a crime he didn't commit—treason. His only mistake? A noble girl's forbidden love marked him for destruction. Cast into the void of space to die, Lyron's final moments take an impossible turn when a mysterious portal tears open and swallows him whole, dragging him into an unknown realm. But Lyron's fate is only the beginning. *** Across the galaxy, countless portals burst into existence, leading to what humanity will come to call dungeons. The once-mighty technology of the galactic empire—weapons that conquered star systems, shields that withstood planetary assaults—crumbles to uselessness within these otherworldly gates. Only outside their thresholds does the old power hold. In the dungeons, humans begin to awaken. Jobs. Skills. Supernatural abilities that defy every law of science. Even the fearsome grargons, humanity's ancient enemies, cease their attacks to investigate these enigmatic gates. A new era has begun. One where starships are rendered obsolete and swords rule. And only one can use them both. *** When Lyron awakens in a strange new world, a system message appears before his eyes: [Ding] [Accept the Stat King]

Armed with his knowledge as a System, Thirteen vowed to change not only his Fate, but the Fate of others whose destinies were tied up with him. In a world torn by power and corruption, a fallen System will bring out a symphony of change, or lead it to its destruction. ---------------- Join me in Discord: https://discord.gg/UesrNGmKWz

Everly, a connoisseur of orphan-to-riches tropes, always assumed her origin story began with a dramatic abandonment at the orphanage gates. Turns out, her life was even more cliché than her favorite novels! She wasn't merely dumped; she was swapped—a long-lost heiress to a vast fortune. Just when she thought her life couldn't get any more tropey, a mysterious System materialized, offering her a chance at a "good ending." The catch? Its "abilities" ranged from the utterly bizarre to the downright mortifying, making Everly question if a happy ending was truly worth the existential cringe. *** System 006: [Host, please choose 1 of these 3 system abilities!] Everly: "They're all weird! Let me just pick random!" System 006: [Hehe... host, I forgot to say that each system will have consequences, so something will happen to you when you use it...] Everly: "!!!" Days later, having been reunited with her biological family and experimenting with the System's... unique function, the consequence were already glaringly apparent. Her beloved brother: "My little sister is precious, but I need therapy to keep up with her alien-like thinking." Handsome man 1: "She's a pervert! I'm scared she'll take my innocence..." Handsome man 2: "Every time she talks, I feel like killing her. Is that normal?" NOTE: Please disconnect all logical circuits before proceeding with this novel, as it's an absolute chaotic comedy where the MC, Everly, has several screws loose in her brain. Don't expect much normalcy here—sanity checked out long ago and never came back.

Instead, he woke up in the same rotten room—facing a cold system that called itself the Protector of the Universe. This time, he was given a choice.

Eilika Wolanski is the eldest daughter of one of Varos’ most respected merchants, but respect has never brought her kindness. A childhood accident left a scar across her cheek, and with it, a cruel label she can never escape. The “Unwanted Woman” of Varos. Mocked in public, pitied in private, and treated like a blemish to be hidden, Eilika grows up learning one painful truth, beauty matters more than character in high society. So when an unexpected marriage proposal arrives from the powerful House of Kingsley, no one believes it is real. The groom is Damian Van Kingsley, the widowed duke of Varos, feared for his cold temperament and admired for his unmatched looks and wealth. Rumors follow him like shadows. He has a secret mistress, a broken heart drowned in alcohol, and worst of all… A son he barely acknowledges. For Eilika, marrying Damian isn’t a dream. It’s the only option left for survival. Damian, once the kingdom’s most desirable nobleman, has been nothing but a hollow man since the death of his first wife. He has abandoned his responsibilities, pushed away his child, and lived with one vow burning in his chest. He will never replace his first wife. To force him back into duty, his mother arranges a second marriage, one he never asked for, and one he refuses to accept. Damian swears he will never touch her , will never look at her and will never treat her as his wife. But Eilika isn’t the greedy noblewoman he expected. She doesn’t ask for his affection. She doesn’t crave his title. She doesn’t even want his love. What Eilika wants… is something far more dangerous. A family. And perhaps that is the very thing Damian has been starving for all along. ~~~~ “This bed will remain cold until your last breath.” Damian’s voice boomed through the dark chamber. Eilika didn’t flinch at his words. Instead she replied gracefully, “I don’t seek love, Duke. You can visit your secret mistress every night… Just don’t come near me.” This marriage was never meant to become real, until the Duke's heart begins to betray its own rules.

A century ago, colossal stone swords descended from the skies, stabbing deep at the heart of twenty-eight cities. Like so began the Sword Trials. Worlds against worlds, species against species, set in a separate, unique, battleground realm that resembled the greatest sword-themed, faction versus faction MMORPG to ever exist. Levels, Legendary Equipment, Hidden Quests, Guilds, Territories, Spawns, NPCs, Sword Skills, Loot that could transcend worlds through a special currency… Only those who can awaken their sword marks would be called Bladeborns, warriors of their race. Armed with Soulbound Swords of varying tiers that decided their ranking in the modern hierarchy, they would fight for the continued existence of their worlds. Ending the battle, however, proved far more difficult than expected. A seemingly unbreakable hundred-year stalemate was reached. The apocalyptic ending eventually faded from everyone’s minds, and being a Bladeborn suddenly turned into a profession. Some even treated the Sword Trials as a mere game. Schools began adding swordsmanship classes as a major subject, and those who excelled beyond their peers at the same high school would be called Sword Prince and Princesses. One such celebrity was Daru Finnley, a young man who had an unusual love for the sword. Named the Fallen Sword Prince after a disastrous awakening ceremony, the label of genius changed into garbage overnight. But his “trash” sword held a secret. And so did his soul… Three worlds WILL fall. #Guildbuilding (In the later chapters)
