Dray—the boy with no timeline, stitched from shadows, hunted by a voice only he can hear.

And in the end, to fix time… someone must be erased. Welcome to the edge of reality, where suspense burns through every page, and the only escape… is through the fire.

Synopsis: Legacy of the Shadow Throne: Rise of the Empire Lin Yuan, an eighteen-year-old from a forgotten fishing village, carries the silent weight of his father's mysterious disappearance and his mother's back-breaking labor as a janitor. Underestimated by all, he possesses a razor-sharp intellect and an indomitable will to break free from the shackles of poverty. His ambition is to not just survive, but to forge an empire from the ground up, one built not on magic or luck, but on strategic genius, ruthless logic, and a profound understanding of the human condition. His journey begins amidst the gritty reality of rural China, where every odd job and every street fight is a lesson in survival. Lin Yuan's first audacious move—transforming a derelict warehouse into a thriving co-working space—signals the quiet emergence of a formidable mind. But the path to power is fraught with peril. He faces the endemic corruption of local officials, the sting of betrayal from early partners, and the devastating blows of his first business failures. Each setback, whether a natural disaster, a treacherous confidante, or a sudden, crushing government policy, only deepens his resolve and refines his strategic acumen, pushing him to master everything from intricate zoning laws to the high-stakes dance of global finance. As Lin Yuan's influence grows, expanding from localized app development to shrewd real estate acquisitions and the volatile world of entertainment, he remains a figure of quiet power, often operating from the shadows. His martial arts training—grounded in real-world disciplines like Muay Thai and Krav Maga—becomes a necessity, not just for self-defense, but for understanding the brutal undercurrents of the world he navigates. He learns to turn PR disasters into strategic victories and transform crumbling assets into cornerstones of his burgeoning empire. The narrative follows Lin Yuan's inexorable ascent from China's bustling metropolises to the global stage, challenging established titans in Singapore, Dubai, Tokyo, and the cutthroat financial districts of New York. He delves into the complexities of international law, cultural barriers, and the dark arts of offshore finance and hostile takeovers. Yet, even as he builds an untouchable legacy, he battles internal demons: the trauma of his past, the struggle with emotional intimacy, and the profound cost of the power he wields. Relationships, few but deeply impactful, compel him to confront his hidden vulnerabilities, revealing that even from a "Shadow Throne," true control often demands vulnerability and connection. "Legacy of the Shadow Throne: Rise of the Empire" is a gritty, intelligent, and emotionally resonant saga of ambition, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of self-made power. It explores the intricate interplay of morality and ruthless strategy, the quiet cost of control, and the enduring human spirit that bleeds, loses, and ultimately, rises again to forge a legend.

Angelo Nobell was a genius. The Emperor of the chessboard. Unbeaten, before him kings fell and ideologies crumbled. His name inspired fear. His mind, awe. But glory corrupts. And arrogance blinds. He accepted a challenge from someone he should never have touched. Not a man… but a God. And he lost. A single God shattered him. Destroyed him. And with a mocking laugh, cast him into another world—a realm of sword and sorcery, where he was meant to become a pawn on a cosmic chessboard. But the Emperor was not born to be a piece. He plays. He rules. He will rise again—and rewrite the very fabric of this world. With blood. With chaos. With an iron will.

Too divine to be human. Too flawed to be angelic. Too pure to be demonic. Sometimes the deepest pain isn’t nothing but existing without belonging. Seven was never meant to exist. Born of a forbidden union, he is a walking contradiction in the eternal war between Heaven and Hell—cursed to walk between realms, plagued by visions, hunted by spirits, and pulled into battles that were never his to fight. Thrown into the heart of a hidden war, Seven joins a secret order of gifted warriors and relic-bearers who fight back against the infernal breach leaking into Earth. Beside him stand friends—scarred souls whose hair turned white from what they survived, yet who never turned from him. And Zephyr, a mischievous spirit wearing human skin, who claims to protect him… but harbors secrets of his own. But as spirit becomes matter and flesh, vessel... Seven must ask what’s more dangerous—the demons outside or the ones buried within? Can he trust the Cativan, who shrouds its faith in secrecy? Can he trust Zephyr, who walks the thin edge between redemption and ruin? Can he trust his friends, or worse—should they trust him? Because the darkest enemy may be a soul convinced it is unworthy of love. And when Heaven won't claim him, and Hell can't control him… The final decision—to fall or to rise—will be his alone.

His is a curse he intends to bury with his death, while hers is a burden she will carry into her next life. Although they have come to terms with their fates, the discoveries they make during their time in dungeons will ultimately reveal their secrets.

Fang Zhou transmigrated into a matriarchal cultivation realm where jade-like beauties hold celestial swords - and all the power. His first act? Tearing up his own betrothal contract. In this world where men were inferior and women were esteemed, the righteous were women, the villains were women, the cultivators were women, and even the gods who created the heavens and earth were women. Female warriors robbed the rich to help the poor and explored the world with their swords. Men, on the other hand, had to be cautious when going out so that they could protect themselves, lest they be robbed of their wealth and dignity, leaving them with nothing. Transmigrating into such a world, Fang Zhou, a handsome man who was desired wherever he went, felt immense pressure. Girls wanted to play with him and even tried to capture him and take him home. For the sake of his own life, Fang Zhou had no choice but to fight against women to the end. "Get lost, you annoying woman! Don't disturb my cultivation!"

He died at twenty-two—bitter, brilliant, and broken. But death wasn’t the end.

I killed the protagonist... He was a real son of a bitch. Noah didn’t trip into this mess. He walked in, grinning, sword in hand. He transmigrated into a side character in his favorite game—a disposable nobody with no relevance to the plot. And when he realized who the “main character” was? The smug, self-righteous asshole, a psychopath. Yeah, he killed him. Now, with the original story in flames and the world thrown off-script, Noah has a new goal: Take the hero’s place. Rewrite everything. He doesn’t have the divine blessings. He doesn’t have the destined companions. What he does have is an encyclopedic knowledge of the game, a complete lack of shame, and zero moral restraints. He’ll steal the spotlight, hijack the plot, and do what the original protagonist never could: Actually make this story interesting.
