Side Hustles That Pay Well

In a world where power must be earned, David is different — he doesn't chase strength. It flows to him. Born with a mysterious gift, he passively absorbs mana every moment, converting it into limitless physical power. While others train, he evolves. While they sleep, he ascends. But strength without purpose is a burden. As word of his growing might spreads, ancient forces begin to stir, and David is pulled into a world of forgotten wars, hidden truths, and a destiny written in the silence of the Well within him. He doesn't seek to rule — only to rise. And he will rise… without end.

Meet Kieran, a 12-year-old street urchin with a secret - dark powers and even darker dreams. Haunted by the memory of his sister Sara's tragic death at the hands of a noble, Kieran is determined to dismantle the nobility's oppressive power structure that allowed her killer to go unpunished. His goal: create a world where the powerful can no longer harm the vulnerable without consequences. When he stumbles upon Wells' mysterious grimoire, Kieran forms an unexpected bond with an ancient entity, gaining formidable abilities at a dangerous cost - his own life force. As he grows stronger, he becomes determined to master this entity, seeking a way to rewrite the terms of their arrangement and keep the power without paying the ultimate price. Juggling life as an assassin in the shadows, he eventually earns a spot at the prestigious Academy. Behind its hallowed walls, he hunts for forgotten knowledge that might free him from the parasitic bond while maintaining access to the dark powers he needs for his mission. Using clever tricks to hide his true abilities from professors and peers alike, Kieran carefully navigates the very institution that trains the elite he despises. By day, he studies ancient texts and rare magic; by night, he strikes from the darkness, targeting corrupt nobles one by one. But as his life force continues to drain and the darkness within him grows, a haunting question emerges: In his quest to change the world and master forbidden magic, will he survive long enough to see his vision realized, or will the very powers he sought to control ultimately consume him?

Twenty-eight year old Delilah Sterling, has perfected the art of being a respectable realtor by day, and a professional gold digger by night. Delilah believes she has her double life under control. Her meticulously crafted life crumbles when she wakes up one morning with a wedding band on her finger, a marriage certificate on the table, and a sinfully gorgeous man claiming to be her husband. To make matters worse, he is broke and jobless, making her feel trapped in a surreal nightmare. Desperate for escape, Delilah demands a divorce, but the stranger—insisting he wants to stay married—thwarts every attempt. Frustration and confusion mount until Delilah hatches a new plan: she proposes they team up to con her next target, the elusive billionaire, Hunter Quinn. What Delilah doesn't realize is that her "broke husband" is actually Hunter Quinn himself. Billionaire CEO, Hunter Quinn, having discovered Delilah’s intentions to con him, had decided to outplay her at her own game. Hunter agrees to the partnership, and together they plunge into a high-stakes game of deceit. As they plot and scheme, the lines between pretense and reality blur. Their forced proximity ignites an unexpected chemistry, leading to moments of vulnerability and genuine connection neither anticipated. Caught in a whirlwind of deception, passion, and power plays, Delilah grapples with their growing feelings. As their con deepens, she must confront the ultimate question: Can she open her heart to love and trust again? ****Exerpt**** Delilah’s eyes darted to the marriage certificate again, the official seal glaring back at her. Her fingers itched to tear it apart, to make this nightmare disappear. But deep down, she knew that wouldn’t change anything. “I don’t remember,” she whispered, more to herself than to him. “I don’t remember any of it.” Blake nodded as if he had expected this reaction. “That is expected. You had a lot to drink last night.” he fished out a phone from the back pocket of his trousers, opened it. “Here, this is us celebrating, after we got married last night,” he said, showing her a picture. Delilah’s breath caught in her throat as she stared at the photo. It was indeed her. “How?” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “I don’t remember any of this.” “It was a wild night,” he said softly. Perhaps she had married Blake because he was wealthy. That would be the only logical reason for her to make such a blunder. There was hope, she thought, as she clung to the possibility of salvaging something from this disaster. Turning to him, she forced a smile, “Is this your house? Are we in your house?” She asked, looking around the bedroom. Blake shook his head, “No. This is a hotel,” he said, and she nodded. “I see. It looks like quite an expensive hotel,” she observed, “What do you do for a living?” she asked, trying to keep her voice steady as she searched his eyes for any hint of affluence. Blake hesitated, his confident demeanor faltering for the first time. He looked away, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’m... in between jobs,” he stuttered, avoiding her gaze. Delilah’s heart sank, disappointment crashing over her like a wave. “In between jobs?” she echoed, her voice tinged with disbelief. Blake seemed to sense her dismay. “I know it doesn’t sound great,” he said quickly, trying to reassure her. “But I’m working on a few things. I just need a little more time.” “You’re jobless,” she muttered to herself as reality sunk in. “How did you pay for this room? For the wedding bands?” She asked, and he winced. “I didn’t. You did,” he said, and she collapsed on the bed. (PS: Cover photo isn’t mine. Credit to the real owner)

Noah isn’t ordinary — not in the way he thinks, moves, or survives. At just fourteen, he’s already outgrown the world he was born into. With a mind sharpened by grief, secrets, and something colder than ambition, he quietly builds a digital empire under the nose of everyone who thinks he’s just a quiet kid in the back row. Behind closed doors, he commands RAI — an AI system he engineered — and infiltrates layers of classified networks, tracing shadows tied to the one truth he can’t let go: The people who murdered his parents never disappeared. Now they wear suits, run covert syndicates, and call their plans "containment." When a quiet alliance forms between Noah and a powerful organization, he becomes their weapon — precise, untraceable, and far more dangerous than they realize. But his strike against the global syndicate known as the Mark of Serpent is only the beginning. As Noah digs deeper, he’s forced to choose between strategy and sentiment. The friends who stand beside him grow suspicious of the silence he’s wrapped himself in. His grandfather — the only adult who still sees the boy behind the brilliance — senses something shifting. And as the truth creeps closer, the question rises: What happens when the only person holding the line between order and chaos is a child no longer certain which side he’s on? Well… you’ll see.

After killing himself, Rio got reincarnated into a game he used to play. Not as Heaven's chosen Protagonist or overpowered villain But as a most pathetic side character in the entire game. Cassian Evros Myrr A character so pitiful that his very name had become synonymous with failure among fans. “Fuck that.” “I won’t live like that. Not this time.” Even if his actions changed the story, he wouldn’t walk the same path. He would rewrite Cassian’s fate with his own hands. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* COVER PAGE IS NOT MINE, IF THE CREATOR OF IMAGE WANTS ME TO REMOVE IT. COMMENT IT *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Notice: Don't Expect anything great from this novel, because this my first time writing. English is not my first Language. Fights maybe will be not that great and conversation maybe look awkward because my social life sucks, so again don't expect anything. And at last DEMONS WELCOME TO MY HELL, TAKE YOU SEAT AND WATCH AS I DO MY SINS. (that's kinda cringe)
