Heath Ledger

I thought I just tripped into a construction site. Turns out, I tripped into another world. Now, I’m being hunted by deadly monsters called Graves, dragged into a government facility, and forced to work under a terrifying hunter who walks like every second costs him money. Oh, and surprise—I don’t even exist here. No ledger, no record, no nothing. Apparently, that makes me a "walking system error." Love that for me. My new babysitter, Elren Vayne, is tall, deadly, and allergic to emotions. His patience is thinner than my survival chances. But that’s fine. I just need to stay alive. Blend in. Crack a few jokes. Maybe get on his nerves—just a little. Definitely not falling for the emotionally unavailable hunter. Nope. Not in the plan. Because I’m not part of their system. Right? ...Right?

[BL] [Alpha x Alpha] After the First Apocalyptic War finally ended, Mattias Kohler thought he could return to America and live out his days as an unmated alpha in peace. Being a child soldier left him with more scars and baggage than he cared to admit, but for a while, living in this superheroes’ version of a ‘new world’ wasn't so bad. He'd even managed to stave off the deadly consequences of the war for a solid twenty years. Despite everything, the shell shocked veteran made peace with the last of his ghosts. Or so he thought, were it not for one rude-ass awakening. When his biggest failure and the rightful king of his ghosts shows back up out of the blue—very much alive and kicking—Matt finds himself kidnapped and dragged back into a cold war against his will. What's worse, this particular ghost has deep ties to Mattias’ past, and the fact that he's still alive is an absolute stain on Matt's ledger. His initial goal is just to get the hell out of this mess and kill as many Russians as he can in the process, but as time goes by, he realizes something isn't right with the King of Ghosts. The other alpha’s past betrayal may not be everything it seems, and the more Matt learns about this dark world his old-friend-turned-traitor steeped himself in for all these years, the less he understands. Not to mention the fact that he'd been forced to get off his scent blockers and rut suppressants all at once; fuck if he knows why that filthy traitor smells so damn good, but he does. It's wrong. They're both alphas. Matt is also painfully aware that alpha on alpha relations are illegal in most countries. But he's hard, pissed off and has no idea whether he's in for a fight or a fuck. Either way, they dragged him back into this, and now he's going to finish it.

Cael is no legend—just a skilled thief drowning in debt. When a final job offers a way out, he must steal the Null Contract from the Ledger Spire, a towering archive of every obligation ever sworn. But the Spire is alive. It reshapes its halls, whispering temptations and stealing memories with every step. As Cael navigates its labyrinth alone, he faces an impossible choice: unleash humanity’s freedom—or seal its chains forever. In the end, he sacrifices the last of himself to keep the world intact, emerging with nothing but a single reminder in the form of a note: "I chose to remember enough to know why I did it."

Lucien Blackmoore makes his living offering contracts most people don’t even bother to read all the way through. He's known as, The Crimson Broker. Anything you want or need: favors, promotions, love, secrets. The only cost? Whatever piece of your soul you’re willing to sell, in a city built on debt. At his side is the Ledger—a sentient, datapad, bound and connected to his soul. It tracks every deal, every breach, every whisper of a broken promise. It feeds him intel, tightens the leash on those who try to run, and sometimes... it speaks back granting boons and abilities. Lucien doesn’t do violence, he doesn’t need to. A few words in the right ear, a signature in the wrong place, and someone else does the dirty work. A rival broker, Cassian has been stirring things up—sloppy sigils, ambushes on street markets, pulling strings Lucien didn’t see coming. Lucien’s got an underground network to protect, clients to keep in line, and a voice in his head that keeps reminding him: "Debt always demands its dues." And some debts... they cost more than you'd think.

A ruthless corporate strategist wakes up in a mud-filled trench during the Crimean War, inside the disgraced body of Captain Alistair Peregrine Finchley. Branded a coward. Hated by London. Assets frozen. Empire wants him hanged. Finchley wants tea. Now stuck in an alternate Victorian Britain era with only a sarcastic, old-fashioned “Gentleman’s Ledger” and his battlefield instincts, Finchley sets one goal, Retire in peace. Preferably rich. Definitely far away from cannon fire. But peace is expensive. And the empire is on sale. So he does what any disgraced noble with a modern MBA and a sniper with math-based hearing would do... turn a slum pawnshop into an intelligence network, and recruits a squad of misfits. While they do the dirty work, Finchley delegates, invests, and drinks tea. But retirement isn't so easy to outsource, especially when the gentleman ledger he carries mysteries of its own. And the Empire? It’s about to go on the market. "War? No, thank you. I’m building a pension."

Lucen Vale was born with nothing. No Soulprint. No name worth remembering. Just a mind far too sharp for a world that discards the weak. Buried alive in the deepest mines of the Dead Veins, the lowest pit of humanity, Lucen was called a Blank, cursed and powerless. He didn’t complain. He observed. Calculated. Waited. Until the system came. A forbidden voice whispered from the dark... "[Soulprint Theft Protocol Activated. You may now take what others are.]" Lucen doesn’t rejoice. He doesn’t laugh. He dissects the rules... and begins to hunt. --- He doesn’t fight stronger enemies. He breaks them. A genius tactician, Lucen studies every movement, exploits every mistake, and kills with precision. With each soul he steals, he gains more than just power. He inherits memories, instincts... even regrets. He writes them all in his Soul Ledger. Every stolen skill. Every broken mind. But as the echoes multiply, and foreign thoughts begin to surface, one truth becomes harder to ignore. If you take too many pieces of others... what remains of you? Releasing 2-4 chapters daily.

They say the greatest discovery is born out of passion, and that was the spark of her journey. Linda Song, a modern day assistant at an elite auction house, stumbled upon an unexpected page in the inventory ledger, a page she had no recollection of ever seeing or creating. It described a relic renowned for its time-traveling ability in the past. Driven by curiosity to decipher if such a relic truly existed, and what secrets it holds if it does, she makes her way into the store-keep and to her greatest surprise, there it stood...just as it was described in the ledger. Bewildered by its beauty, and anxious to discover whether the relic truly held such abilities, or was it just another fallacy put together to attract the highest bidder, she sought to examine it. Linda carries the small stone under the sun rays filtering through the storeroom window to get a better view. Suddenly, it pulsed and a blue fluorescent light erupted from the relic, engulfing Linda. And in an instant, the modern world surrounding her vanished. She was no longer Linda Song but a maid within the Inner Palace of a rising dynasty, caught between ambitious concubines and a simmering political conspiracy. What mystery lies behind the stone and her sudden transmigration? Will she survive this new world she has come to know, and will her modern knowledge prove valuable or become her downfall? Why not embark on this journey with her... ************************** DISCLAIMER This work is purely fiction, all characters, setting and events are ideas of the author. if anything in it resembles something you know of, then it's purely coincidence. this is a multiple side character book with the main lead growing and developing subtly. if you are lover of slow burn fantasy books, hook in...you will love this .

They always say that snowflakes are beautiful and they are magical as well, but never once did Heath ever thought of believing and proving that practically and not only theoretically......... @alishawalker2022

Born under the Triune Celestial Convergence, Jian Feng wields power no mortal should possess. The Nine Serenities Jade chooses him, breakthroughs come effortlessly, and treasures fall into his hands as if guided by fate.

The Veiled Star Marquis, a disgraced Heavenly General, offers a path to repay his first debt—the Stolen Constellation Pearl, hidden in the Vermillion Bird Legion’s vaults.

[WSA 2025 Entry] There is a shop. hidden deep in the misted alleys of Lowbridge District. A place where the desperate trade gold for whispered promises. Trinkets. Relics. Cursed objects.

The Sinner’s Realm When fate forgets your name, love writes it back. Zane was supposed to die at sunrise. But when a grim reaper arrives too early, a single mistake erases Zane’s name from death’s ledger—making him a missing soul, trapped between life and the afterlife. Brought back to the world of the living with no memory, Zane soon finds himself caught in a strange pattern: each time he tries to end his life, the same reaper returns to stop him. Azriel, the reaper who broke the rules to save him, swore to erase Zane’s memories and keep their worlds apart. But the more Zane dies, the more he remembers—and the deeper Azriel falls.

Gideon Harrow was born with blood on his inheritance. As the reluctant heir to the Harrow Circle—an elite syndicate of occult debt collectors—his destiny is carved in ash: retrieve cursed objects, balance the soul ledgers of the dead, and ascend as the next Keeper of Accounts. But just weeks before his initiation, a relic surfaces unlike any other. A ledger. Empty. Silent. Hollow. Until it writes his name in blood-red ink. Now the rules are changing. Spirits bound by old codes are whispering rebellion. Items once dormant are reacting to him. And worse—someone is rewriting ledgers from within, twisting records, erasing histories, and unleashing debts that should never be paid. To survive his own succession, Gideon must confront a past he never lived, a conspiracy buried in the Circle’s founding, and a haunting truth: The Hollow Ledger doesn’t balance the dead. It judges the living.

They placed Kael Arkin at the bottom. Threadless. Bloodless. Nothing. No sigil, no legacy, no chance. In a world where magic is carved from blood and power determines worth, Kael was meant to fade — a ghost among heirs, a failure beneath prodigies. The only reason he’s still here? A name in a ledger… and a Magister who doesn’t believe in mistakes. But something is wrong beneath the surface of the Sanctum. Something ancient. Hungry. Watching. Kael starts young. Fragile, even. You’ll wonder why he’s the main character. Push through. Because the boy they buried at the bottom? He learns. He adapts. And eventually… he breaks. What rises after won’t be human. It’ll be worse.

Ten-year-old Elijah "Eli" Reyes sees the hidden fractures in Harlem—in crumbling brownstones, in ledger books, in the eyes of his weary mother, Rosa.

Was it betrayal? An escape? Or did Silas make him disappear? To settle the debt, Silas imprisons Eli, Rosa, and Eli’s luminous four-year-old sister, Maya, in a gilded cage atop a Crown stronghold. Eli’s genius becomes his family’s currency: fix Silas’s crumbling empire, or watch his world shatter. But Silas sees more than a tool in the boy—he sees a kindred, calculating mind. A protégé.

When the world turns a blind eye to evil, someone must become the darkness to punish it. After a mysterious tragedy shatters his life, 20-year-old Kane awakens a cursed system called The Sin Ledger—a power that marks the wicked, punishes the corrupt, and grows stronger through the sins he absorbs. Bound by a contract he never signed, Kane is forced to collect “Sin Points” by hunting down debtors—those who owe karma, justice, or blood. For every mission completed, he levels up… but each decision draws him closer to a horrifying truth: the system is feeding on his soul. As Kane climbs the ranks of the sinful underworld, he must choose between redeeming the sinner or becoming a greater demon than them all. He wears a demonic armor forged from guilt, commands powers of fear and judgment, and bears a monstrous second form—the Dread Kirin-Dragon King, feared by all dimensions. But the true enemy is not just the sinners. A Celestial Dragon—once a divine being—has descended to erase Kane and his blasphemous system from existence. The war between heaven and hell begins… and Kane must master his powers before he loses himself to the abyss.

"The water choked him, the cold seeping into his bones. His mind, usually so sharp, fractured into a thousand desperate thoughts. He saw her face above him, contorted by a primal rage, and in his final, suffocating gasp, he knew. Not just an opponent. A predator. He tried to speak, to beg, to curse, but only a gurgle escaped as darkness claimed him. His last thought, a chilling realization: She was more monster than detective." In the rain-slicked streets of Owerri, I live a double life. By day, I'm Detective Elise Blackwood, bound by the law, navigating a system that often fails the innocent. By night, I become a ghost, a weapon forged by a mother's murder, hunting the powerful Network – the city's corrupt elite who operate above all law. They stole my past; I'm here to tear down their future. Every stolen ledger, every breached server, drags me deeper into their deadly game, transforming me from hunter to the hunted. My knuckles ached, the water cold as ice, as I forced him under. This wasn't just justice. This was survival. And a promise kept. I've walked through fire, made impossible choices, and faced betrayal from every angle. Now, as I close in on their elusive financial architect, Pierce M., the man whose secrets can finally bring their empire crashing down, the true cost of my war reveals itself. The truth about Pierce is far more devastating, far more personal, than any nightmare I could have imagined. My pursuit of dark justice is about to collide with a betrayal that will redefine everything I am.

The Sin Ledger When midnight strikes, the app awakens. No ads. No login. No trace—only a message: “You’ve been chosen. Your sin has been recorded.” Urban journalist Lin Xun never believed in ghost stories or digital curses—until a suicide case leads him to a mysterious phone application known as The Sin Ledger. The app doesn’t offer games or services. Instead, it assigns tasks. Ominous, personal, and disturbingly precise tasks. Fail, and something—or someone—pays the price. As Lin Xun dives deeper into the app’s twisted logic, he uncovers a hidden network of users, each tormented by a secret they’d hoped was buried. But the Ledger sees everything. And it doesn’t forgive. Now, the next name on the list is his own.

The Realm of Samvrta is a vast, interconnected world where ten sentient races—Humans, Bloodkin, Stoneborn , Swarm, Naga, Beastkin, Demons, Sylvans , Artificers, and Phantasma—cultivate unique power systems. These systems typically involve the absorption of spiritual energy (prana/qi/essences) and specific forms of matter, allowing them to comprehend and manipulate the governing laws or forces unique to their kind.

“Some secrets refuse to stay buried… and some truths are more dangerous than lies.” Isabelle Hart believed her family’s history had vanished with time. But during a sudden house evacuation, she unearths a forgotten ledger—filled with strange names, faded photographs, and cryptic letters—each page pulling her deeper into a web of murder, betrayal, and a past that never let go. The clues all point to one chilling truth: the long-buried murder of her great-aunt, Evelyn Bellamy. Guided by Evelyn’s fragmented journal, Isabelle’s search leads her from the crumbling streets of Canterbury to the ghost-laced halls of Oxford, where forgotten estates and silent graves whisper of secrets meant to stay hidden. But as Isabelle unravels the mystery, she edges closer to a revelation that will shatter everything she believed about her family—and herself. Because some are born into the truth. And others are broken by it.

n the heart of Asia’s neon underworld, whispers of a name echoed through every VIP lounge: RSR0003. A name backed by 20 billion KRW in deposit, a name you couldn’t scam, a name you’d regret crossing. Jongno wasn’t just a casino agent — he was the last real guarantee in a world full of frauds. "Telegram. RSR0003. Ask for the ledger," he’d say, handing a steel-plated card engraved with only that ID. New players, seasoned gamblers, even rival syndicates respected one thing: Verified capital. Real protection. No ‘eat-and-run’. Rumor had it he once returned 500 million won to a player who got hacked mid-bet. Just to protect the reputation. That’s not customer service. That’s legacy. And now… someone tried to fake his name.

When the Ledger Became a Litany of Blood Renault Darcier was just a nobody scribe—until betrayal and corruption turned his world into a bloody mess. Stripped of honor and tossed into the deadly royal court, he learns the real power isn’t brute force—it’s the Arcane Scripturgy: turning ink and words into lethal contracts. With cunning, forbidden knowledge, and a touch of ruthless charm, Renault rewrites the rules of power, turning corrupt nobles into puppets and courtesans into allies. This isn’t a noble’s fairy tale—this is bloody bureaucracy, where every word can kill. “Let the kingdoms bow—not to war, but to the pen that commands it. I am the bureaucrat before whom even kings kneel.” --- 3 Golden Tickets = Bonus chapters! --- Tags: #DarkFantasy #MagicByWords #CourtIntrigue #Vengeance #PowerPlay #SchemesAndSeduction

In the crumbling Tianyu Empire, where floating islands and mystical trade routes echo the grandeur of ancient China, 17-year-old Li Wei, a sharp-witted youth from the impoverished Pingyao Slum, dreams of escaping poverty. When he discovers the Jade Ledger, a sentient, jade-inlaid scroll granting a supernatural business system, his destiny shifts. Armed with quests like “Earn 100 taels in a day” and skills like “Aura of Commerce,” Wei transforms a failing market stall into a trade empire, navigating the volatile Jade Essence economy—crystals that power airships, talismans, and alchemy. Outsmarting corrupt nobles, demonic beast smugglers, and rival empires in cities inspired by Chengdu and Xi’an, Wei builds wealth and influence. Along the way, he attracts a harem of powerful women—a Wudang cultivator, a Chengdu rogue trader, a Xi’an alchemist, and a Suzhou warrior merchant—whose alliances and affections complicate his rise. In a world of guanxi-inspired strategies and magical markets, Li Wei’s cunning and the Jade Ledger’s wisdom will either forge a legend or break an empire.

Victor Blackwell thought he had mastered life. A billionaire tax evader who built his empire on loopholes, lies, and offshore accounts, he believed the rules were for the poor — and redemption was a myth for the weak. But death doesn’t care about loopholes. And justice, it turns out, writes its own rules. Now named Zahra, he begins life surrounded by poverty, conflict, and a mother’s love he never knew he needed. As forgotten memories creep back, Zahra is haunted by the vast chasm between who he was and what he has become. In a world where survival demands more than money, and redemption offers no shortcuts, Zahra must navigate a reality where privilege means nothing — and humanity means everything. And from afar, The Archivist watches. Because some ledgers don’t close at death.
