A month-long live stream turned his life into entertainment for the world. Arav was just an ordinary young man chasing his dreams when he met **Aisha Khurana**—a cold, powerful CEO from an elite family of the Rising Sun Empire. What began as a simple friendship slowly turned into something deeper… until the truth shattered everything. Their entire relationship had been part of a scripted social experiment. Watched. Judged. Broadcast. Humiliated before millions, Arav walks away with a broken heart—and a burning resolve. If the world respects only power… then he will build power. From zero, he begins again—founding an AI company, sharpening his skills, and vowing to rise high enough that no one can ever treat him as a pawn again. But fate isn’t done with them. Aisha carries a secret she cannot undo. A forgotten night. A child that ties their destinies together. Three years. One promise. Two hearts separated by pride, ambition, and unfinished love. When they meet again, will it be revenge… or the beginning of a love strong enough to rebuild everything? In a world of empires, ambition, and second chances— some stories don’t end with heartbreak. They begin there.

A monotonous life and a ridiculous death electrocuted because of a coworker who was too distracted trying to flirt. Just when Mike thought he could finally rest in peace, a “god” decided his life had been far too boring and reincarnated him into a fantasy world… as the Demon Lord. Yes, the final boss. Before he even had time to understand what was happening, a Heroine stormed his castle determined to kill him. Desperate and with no idea how to use his new power, Mike faked his own death and escaped using an ability he didn’t even know he had. The plan was perfect. Except for one small detail. The Heroine appeared right beside him. Now the two of them awaken in the middle of a forest one month later, far from the battlefield… and she remembers absolutely nothing. Not the war. Not her mission. Not who he is. Taking advantage of the most suspiciously convenient opportunity of his new life, Mike pretends that he has lost his memories as well. And so, the two decide to travel together and settle in a small town, trying to start over from scratch. But adapting to a peaceful life isn’t so easy when: - He is, technically, the most powerful former Demon Lord in the world. - She was humanity’s greatest weapon. -And on top of that… the Heroine turns out to be socially disastrous. Between odd jobs, failed attempts to act like a “normal human,” constant suspicion, and absurd arguments, the two begin an awkward life together. While the world enjoys a fragile peace after the mysterious disappearance of the Demon Lord and the Heroine, no one suspects that both of them are living under false identities.

Over a thousand years ago, the Byzantine Empire (Romans but Catholic) unified the world through a campaign known as the SANCTIFICATION. This conquest was made possible by the Prime Twelve. Immortal warriors blessed with Crests, divine marks that granted them godlike powers. Each Crest embodied a fundamental force of nature: the Winds of Time, Chains of Fate, Breath of Life, Scales of judegement, Radiant Truth, and others. They held the power to shape reality. The Prime Twelve's true purpose, however, was to seal the Seven Diavolo. Apocalyptic entities representing the dark inversions of natural order: Corruption, Death, Decay, Dreams, Chaos and Darkness. Each Diavolo commanded Heralds and Apostles who wielded fragments of their masters' world-ending power. The sealing was successful, but it came at a cost. Dimensional tears called Rifts began opening across the world, unleashing Variants; monsters that defied natural law. To combat this threat, the Prime Twelve founded Major Houses and spread Crests throughout humanity. Today, those born with Crests called Topplers form the ruling class of society, while the Crestless, the Achusoi are treated as second-class citizens. Marcus Chen was Achusoi. He survived by taking whatever work he could find in the empire's margins, invisible to a world built for the powerful. His life ended when one job went wrong, murdered by Huey Cross—the youngest son of House Cross, one of the Prime Twelve lineages. Ironically, Huey himself was Crestless, and an embarrassment to his bloodline. he was the curse of the house cross. Marcus wakes up in Huey's body with fragmented memories and a terrible realization: Huey DID have a Crest. Just not one that came from God. Now inhabiting his killer's identity, Marcus must navigate Virelia Institute, a university for gifted Topplers, while investigating what happened eight months ago at St. Helena Hospital..... the incident that put him in this body. By night, he becomes the Blue Reaper, a vigilante hunting the down the secrets the empire has buried. But as he digs deeper, Marcus discovers a horrifying truth: the Seven Diavolo were never truly sealed. Their Heralds walk among humanity and he is infact one of them. Armed with a group of Apostles, maids, servants, foot soldiers and his very own palace REQUEIM within the dimension of death - LIMBO. Marcus comes to accept his new fate "I AM THE BLUE REAPER, AND I HERALD DEATH." --- NOTE: See auxiliary chapters for detailed world-building and power system information.

“I gave you my soul in my last life. In this one, I’ll settle for your crown.” ~ In my first life, I was the devoted Queen. I waited two months for my husband, King Lauren, to return from the front lines—only for him to walk through the palace gates with a beautiful young maiden by his side and a decree in his hand: ‘She would be the new Queen’. And because of that evil beauty he brought to our kingdom, I died a discarded "nobody," executed for a crime I didn't commit. But death didn't take me. It sent me back. I woke up on the morning of his return. The crowds are cheering, the flowers are blooming, and my husband is about to humiliate me in front of the entire kingdom. But he doesn't know I've changed. He doesn't know I've returned with a special skill that makes me the most dangerous woman in the room. Before he can introduce his "New Queen," I hand him the one thing no one in this kingdom has ever dared to ask for: Divorce papers. In our land, a Queen asking for divorce is an abomination punishable by stoning. But Lauren thinks I’m bluffing. He looks me in the eye, tears my petition to shreds, and growls, “You are my wife. I will never stamp those papers.” He thinks he is keeping me trapped. He doesn't realize he has trapped himself in a palace with a woman who knows every one of his secrets—and is prepared to burn his kingdom to the ground just to see him sign his name. My goal is simple; I will make him fall... not in love, but to his knees. Since he spent my first life making me cry. I’ll spend my second making him bleed.

Ethan's life was going well... sort of. With three months to his wedding and almost enough savings to finally quit his stripping job, everything seemed almost perfect… Till his fiancé suddenly dumps him, and he loses everything he's ever built... in the span of one week. Standing at the edge of a storybuilding, he's about to throw himself off to end the suffocating pain when he suddenly gets a call... for an interview with a high-ranking company he never applied to. A company under the renowned Alpha Aurelian Vale. The S-tier Alpha who would change his life forever, and just may be tied to Ethan's present and past in more ways than he could even begin to imagine. The Alpha he THINKS he doesn't know. ******* "Why should I trust you? Isn't playing games the core of your business? Everything is a game to you. Even this... "He says, and I step closer to him... pushing myself against him, as I see fear return to his eyes. "You don't know me, Ethan. "I remind him, and I watch the anger in his eyes melt into stubbornness. "And you also don't know me, Mr. Aurelian! "He retorts, and I smirk. That's the Ethan I like. Feisty. "But I do know you. "I say, and he visibly gulps as beads of sweat begin to form across his forehead. "You're impulsive, stubborn, and daring. You are broken and hurting inside, but you mask all that pain with a smile. Never really healing from them, but burying them. Praying the day doesn't come when they rise from their graves. Your humour is your defence mechanism. It makes you feel stronger when you're intimidated or scared. "I continue, and his jaw drops as he gawks at me. I lean in closer to him, enjoying the heat of the proximity, as I drop low enough for my lips to brush against his ear, and his delicate orchid scent fills my lungs. "Am I wrong? "I question him, and he just blinks back. Visibly stunned by my words. I smile in satisfaction at him before stepping away from him, and once again I hit the emergency stop button. "I know you better than you think, Ethan. The sooner you understand this, the better. "I add before reaching for a cigar in my breast pocket and lighting it. I know it's against the rules, but I don't care. "You might want to cover that. "I say, pointing at the bulge in his pants, and he immediately turns red as he tries to drag his shirt down to cover it. Just then, the elevator doors open, and I smirk as people pour into the elevator, looking between Ethan and me. I see the stink eyes I get because of the cigar in my hand, but I only step out of the elevator because of the infant I see a mother carrying. As I leave Ethan behind, I send him a text. *Meet me in the car.*
