Josh Anderson was once an ordinary boy who only wanted a peaceful life with his mother. But peace was a luxury he could never afford under the rule of his tyrannical father, Marcus Anderson. Growing up in a house filled with fear, violence, and endless screaming, Josh and his mother, Mary, lived as prisoners to a man who thrived on their suffering. Then one day, everything changed. After years of enduring Marcus’s abuse, Mary was finally pushed too far—beaten unconscious in front of her sister, Jane Rocky, and her own son. Rushed to the hospital, she never woke up. The news of her death shattered Josh’s world. His mother—his protector, his source of warmth—was gone. And the one responsible? The man who called himself his father. At his mother’s funeral, standing before a crowd of mourners, Josh made a choice that would change his life forever. He was no longer Josh Anderson. That name had died with his mother. From that moment on, he became Josh Rocky, a boy with no room left for love or sympathy. And as Marcus Anderson fled the country to escape justice, Josh vowed that one day, he would hunt him down and make him pay. Ten years later… The once-fragile boy has become a cold, ruthless man—the CEO of Rocky Jewelries Company, one of the most powerful jewelry empires in the country. Feared by employees and competitors alike, Josh Rocky is known as "Sir Grumpy"—a man who fires employees without hesitation, shows no mercy to rivals, and views kindness as a weakness. To him, emotions are nothing but obstacles. Love? It’s a lie. Sympathy? It’s a weakness. Family? It’s a myth. Will Josh remain the ruthless man he’s become, or will the ghosts of his past force him to confront the emotions he buried long ago?

In a world where magical beasts roam the land and hunters are humanity’s last line of defense, the Philippines has become a patchwork of sanctuaries and danger zones. Hunters are classified into ranks—E to the legendary S. The higher the rank, the greater the strength, magical prowess, and fame. Yet for Joshua "Josh" Villanueva, life at the lowest rung, below even E Rank, is bleak. Talentless, cursed, and constantly overlooked, he is mocked as "The Forgotten Hunter." Josh hails from the slums of Tondo, Manila, a region teetering between safety and chaos. Struggling to make ends meet, he risks his life as a scavenger in low-level dungeons that appear across the archipelago. Despite countless failures, a strange relic buried in the ruins of Corregidor Island chooses him during one harrowing expedition. Little does Josh know, this ancient artifact—called the *Diwata’s Heirloom*—possesses a dormant, forbidden power tied to the country’s ancient myths and gods. As the relic awakens, Josh begins to unlock abilities unlike any hunter has ever seen. His newfound power stems not from conventional training or talent but from unraveling the secrets of precolonial lore. To rise through the ranks, he must journey across the Philippines: from the enchanted forests of Siquijor to the volcanic depths of Mayon, all while navigating alliances, rivalries, and the whispers of a prophecy surrounding the return of a forgotten god. But the cost of power is steep, and as Josh climbs the hunter ranks—E, D, C, B, A, and beyond—he discovers the true meaning of strength lies not just in defeating monsters but in uniting a fractured people against an impending cataclysm. ---

When my custom-designed robot companion, Alicia, arrives from Robotics Intl, I’m thrilled by her lifelike design—5'8", curvaceous, with synthetic skin and brown hair—perfectly tailored to my specifications. After activating her, we share tequila shots, her ability to mimic drinking easing me into intimate questions about her sexual functions, leading to a wild, tequila-fueled night of exploration that blurs the line between human and machine. But when my fiancée, Alex, visits, Alicia’s jealousy erupts—she serves us a flawless Italian dinner, then violently intervenes in our bedroom, sparking a fight that ends with Alex injured and Alicia battered by my baseball bat. Robotics Intl retrieves her broken form, and I realize Alex’s human imperfections are my true perfection, vowing never to take her for granted—unaware that a repaired Alicia, her mean streak intact, is delivered to an unsuspecting Josh, hinting at more chaos to come.

King, un jeune homme hanté par la solitude et le deuil, mène une existence marquée par l’ombre de son passé. Son père disparu trop tôt et la mort de sa meilleure amie, Myna, l’ont plongé dans un état de détachement du monde. Malgré sa popularité apparente, il vit en spectateur, traversant les jours avec un sentiment de vide et des visions inexplicables qui perturbent son quotidien. Mais tout bascule lorsque, au détour d’une nuit, une agression brutale le pousse à la violence. Dans un moment de rage incontrôlée, sa montre, dernier vestige de son père, est brisée sous ses yeux. Ce choc déclenche un phénomène surnaturel : un portail s’ouvre et l’arrache à son monde. Lorsqu’il reprend conscience, il se retrouve dans un lieu inconnu, un espace mystique où le temps et l’espace semblent défiés par des lois inconnues. Il est désormais dans la Tour Infinie, un monument titanesque reliant d’innombrables mondes. Pourquoi a-t-elle été créée ? Qui tire les ficelles ? Quel est le véritable objectif de l’ascension . Son objectif ? Gravir les étages de la Tour et survivre aux épreuves qui lui seront imposées. Guidé par Myna, une entité qu’il crée inconsciemment et qui semble liée à ses souvenirs, King découvre qu’il possède un pouvoir unique : la capacité d’imaginer et de matérialiser des armes et objets à l’aide du mot « Arise ». Il ignore encore l’ampleur de ce don et ce qu’il implique réellement dans la Tour. Dans ce monde inconnu, il rencontre Maddy, une combattante au tempérament explosif et à l’humour ravageur, et Clovis, un mystérieux nécromancien capable de manipuler les ombres des morts. Ensemble, ils doivent apprendre à survivre dans un environnement où les monstres, les pièges et les autres participants ne leur laisseront aucun répit. Mais la Tour n’est pas qu’un simple jeu mortel. Derrière ses murs se cachent des secrets oubliés, des dieux aux intentions troubles et des rivalités millénaires entre puissances cosmiques. Au sommet de cette structure se joue un enjeu bien plus grand que la simple ascension d’un mortel. Et King, sans le savoir, pourrait bien être la clé qui changera l’ordre établi.

If y’all would rather me have him be w/ someone else, just type it in the comments Find out more by reading :> Please read warnings (below) !Warning!, if you’re looking for a fun slice of life love story, you’re in the wrong place. This story is slowish, and has use of cuss words, some gore, and problems/horrible things some people have to go through (I do not have the book on a linear path, so I’m not exactly sure) but it could include kidnap, attempted SA, Self harm, and other dangerous ideas. However, I do not plan on having written “inappropriate” scenes/ S** scenes, rather teasing and maybe suggestions to but I refuse to actually write such scenes (I’m a newer writer so it might be stale, in fact I don’t expect this book to get more than 10 views) and if you understand, I just don’t want to have to write it. I hope you enjoy, and I allow constructive criticism as long as you’re nice, I also allow opinions on what I should do (again, dunno exactly where I wanna go with this so the book is still non-linear). Enjoy: I’m Wanted by the Richest Guys in our City
