In the wake of tragedy, Jack Hayes struggles to cope with the devastating loss of his younger brother, Ethan "The Viper" Hayes, who dies in a brutal MMA fight against the reigning state champion, Rico "The Beast" Martinez. While the match is ruled an accident, Jack is haunted by the belief that foul play led to Ethan's untimely death. Consumed by grief and anger, he grapples with feelings of helplessness and guilt. In his search for closure, Jack decides to enter the world of MMA—not for revenge, but to find peace and honor Ethan's memory. Under the mentorship of Lena, a seasoned fighter with her own troubled past, Jack begins a grueling training regimen that tests his physical and mental limits. As he fights through local circuits, he discovers the camaraderie and resilience of fellow fighters, all of whom share their own struggles and stories of loss. As Jack rises through the ranks, he adopts the persona of "The Ghost," channeling his brother's spirit and seeking to transform his pain into strength. But as he gains recognition, the specter of Rico looms larger, culminating in a high-stakes tournament that could earn Jack the chance to face the man he holds responsible for Ethan’s death. In the climactic battle, Jack confronts not just Rico, but the internal demons that have plagued him since the tragedy. As he fights for redemption, he learns that true strength lies in embracing the past and that finding peace is a journey, not a destination. "The Ghost of the Ring" is a powerful tale of grief, resilience, and the transformative power of sport, exploring the delicate balance between revenge and healing in the unforgiving world of mixed martial arts.

In a world where kingdoms rise and fall, a seasoned player unexpectedly finds himself transmigrated into the very game he once mastered—Caldera. However, his new life as a ruler comes with a crushing twist: severe debuffs and harsh restrictions on his talents make survival nearly impossible. Against overwhelming odds, he fights tooth and nail to carve out a legacy. Despite his brilliance in strategy and marvels in combat, failure becomes his ultimate fate. But fate offers him another chance. Reborn at the start of the game, now without the crippling debuffs and armed with all the knowledge, experience, and hard-won lessons of his previous life, he faces the world anew. This novel is a bit fast-paced compared to current mainstream trends. It will delve into human nature and how far people are willing to go for meager profit. Most characters will be evil, and even the good ones only appear good because the actions they take align with their own interests, rather than being motivated by true goodness.

[MATURE CONTENT WARNING - Swearing and sexual scenes are apart of this novel!!!] Al'Hazier was never as obedient as his older brothers had been. He got himself in trouble often, and did things he was explicitly told not to do - like drink things from the forbidden cabinet in the cellar looking to get a little drunk. He had no idea he had taken a precious, forbidden potion that his father had actually been saving for himself at the right moment. When the king discovered his youngest son had taken the very nectar he coveted - he was so furious that he did the unthinkable: He cut up Al'Hazier's body with a silver knife, and divided up his body parts around their country. For his head, though - King Varkys made sure that it was preserved in a crystal-lined silver box. A head that would never die. A head that lived in dark silence. A head in a sense - literally buried in the sand. That was over 300 years ago. Going mad, and certain he would be surrounded in darkness forever until the earth finally exploded and disintegrated his corpse - Al'Hazier wasn't expecting to see the sunny seaside again, nor did he expect a group of beautiful women to be the first thing he had seen in decades. After discovering his brother is up to no good, and how terrible the world has become, Azier finds his heart soften for his female companions, and hardened against Azrael, who has taken control over literally everything. Once he finally reveals his secrets to the six sexy saviors, they help him grow his abilities as well as his knowledge for the new world...but it comes at a price. Find out what happens when one war front becomes two as Azier not only takes on the tyranny of his brother - but his actual self as well when things end up not even close to what he expected. *Volume One Completed!!!* **Updated Daily** 50 Power stones = one extra chapter for that week. 1 Golden Ticket = two extra chapters that week.

His goal is to stand at the highest point, overlooking everything that has happened, and have no regrets in this life.

As the author of this book I should give a fair warning: the first chapters are a scam!! Okay, let me explain. The character that you most likely think is the protagonist, is not the protagonist. Why? Honestly, idk, I just felt like doing it. Makes the story feel more realistic and approachable because every character is worth something. The story follows a male lead, Ju Min-Jung, who at one point in his life was a normal middle-aged man from Korea. He gets transmigrated to a world called Einar as Lychipher Klein in which becoming quote-unquote a "god", is not just possible, but relatively common. Years have gone by in a flash and Lychipher has enjoyed a simple and laid-back life, going by the nickname of Whiskey. The story starts when a contracted guild summons the lovecraftian inspired eldritch entity known as Dietrich, which fragmented itself into several variants born from chosen women. The fragments each have the distinct feature of white hair and can be released when the variant is killed. When all the variants are killed each fragment will be fused allowing Dietrich to form in Einar. This quickly escalates into family feuds, mystery, mystism and the occult. Questions emerge perpetually the instant one is answered, mysterious forces are at work pulling the strings behind closed curtains and fate seems to be the greatest for of all.... What to expect: Firstly is the world of Einar. It's a world entirely fictional so don't try to wrap your head around the timeline because I honestly just smashed several themes that I liked together. Originally, I chose for late 16th century baroque and renaissance, but later I also added elements of the western victorian era, the wild west and more. Now the next thing to expect is probably not something you'll appreciate much, and that is slow pacing. I know, I know —you're probably screaming "whyyy!?". But it's best for the story to play out the way it should, ya' know- instead of rushing it. Besides, going for a mysterious factor demands slow pacing because otherwise the mystery is short-lived.

In a world where fate often seems cruel, one man is given a rare gift – a second chance. Dr. Robert Williams, a forty two years old brilliant scientist, had sacrificed everything for his research: his youth, family, social life, and love. After 22 years of tireless work, he had finally achieved the impossible – creating the first-ever vaccine for an incurable disease. But his triumph was short-lived. His research partner submitted the paper under her own name, and the institute's director – her husband – silenced Robert's protests. Crushed and defeated, Robert saw no escape from despair. On the brink of hopelessness, he made the desperate decision to end his life. Yet fate had other plans. Instead of death, Robert found himself reborn in a world where magic and technology coexisted, and nothing was really a myth! The world was divided into seven distinct realms; and he was now Ryker Wales, a 20-year-old commoner in the weakest realm, the first realm. Memories of his past life still lingered, a bittersweet reminder of his failures and regrets. The pain of losing his life's work to someone else's greed still burned within him. Ryker's new reality was also unforgiving, with the first realm being exploited and oppressed by stronger realms. From his past experiences, he knew that to survive, he needed two things: power and money. That's why, when the opportunity to compete for the title of Lord of the Seventh Realm, the strongest ruler of the world, knocked the door, he seized it without a second thought. Ryker ignited a spark of determination within himself. Fueled by the injustices of his past, he was driven by a fierce resolve to succeed. Through all the thicks and thins, Ryker pressed on, undaunted. Thus began the journey of Ryker Wales, a man reborn – a journey that would test his courage, wit, and resolve in ways he never imagined.

There is a disease running through the world. They call it the rot. A world were people can get stronger by simply getting sicker. A dystopian future, a dilapidated wasteland, and many more things. A slow start which gains momentum. A mysterious background, a world of deities and contracts, of crazed animalistic monsters infested by the same rot. The only salvation known to Konrad are the facilities, run by the Church Lords. Him, entering a world of rot, deities of bygone eras and forbidden knowledge. A harrowing tale unfolds, with he who never knew anything but the Doctrine faces a world of terror. Will he survive and perhaps thrive? Where it came from, or where it would go—these remain a mystery. And albeit an issue, it was much easier for the people of the earth to submit to the fear, rather than attempt to conquer whatever terrifying thing lay on the other side - they knew its futility. Some would yell, some would cry - all would pray to the earth beneath them, and the heavens above them. A deity would listen, heed their words. Who was it that heard them?

Under the vacuum of death and decay, watch yourself. Do not trust what they speak of, for only those worthy to defy the laws of this world are worthy to become the unknown. Are you ready to see the truths of all things? Can you bear the sight of God without dying? Can you laugh at the kings and empires that rule your laws? Can you speak to the dead? Will you know when the day comes, the night falls, and the stars descend like lightning and fire? Are you ready to meet your maker as "He" is?

It's been about 10 years since the mysterious disaster that made the air toxic to breathe. Now humanity lives in the last stronghold known as the new city of Zenkuirs that protects humanity from the toxic air known as miasma.
