In the bustling and noisy modern metropolis, Ye Chen once stood at the pinnacle of wealth, with a personal fortune of 400 billion yuan in his hands. His name was like a thunderclap in the business world, an object of admiration and envy for countless people. However, fate played an extremely cruel joke on him, and a sudden accident brought his life to an abrupt end. When Ye Chen regained consciousness again, he found himself miraculously reborn and thrown back sixty years ago. The world before his eyes was both strange and familiar. The dilapidated streets and simple houses all told of the poverty and backwardness of that era. And he himself was no longer the glorious business magnate but a despised, penniless gambler. His wife, the woman who had once accompanied him through thick and thin, was now full of disappointment and determination, only begging him to sign the divorce papers to completely break free from this painful marriage. His father-in-law and mother-in-law hated him to the core. The looks they gave him seemed as if they wanted to devour him alive, wishing he could vanish from this world and never appear in their lives again. What was worse, those loan sharks who lent money at exorbitant interest rates were like wolves, closely watching him and constantly issuing threatening ultimatums for him to pay back the money. The slightest mistake would subject him to their ruthless and violent debt collection. However, Ye Chen was not crushed by this difficult situation. Relying on the memories and experiences of the sixty years from his previous life, he began his desperate counterattack. He knew full well the huge changes and opportunities that this era was about to usher in. Starting from small businesses on the street corners, he gradually accumulated his first pot of gold by making precise judgments about future business trends. As time went by, his business empire continued to expand, covering multiple fields such as manufacturing, real estate, and technology. The innovative products and business models he launched led the tides of the times time and time again, shocking the entire business world. During this process, he encountered the envy and suppression of countless competitors. They united to try to stop Ye Chen's rise. But Ye Chen, with his wisdom and courage, skillfully resolved one crisis after another and instead turned the attacks of his opponents into the driving force for his progress. In the game with various forces, Ye Chen gradually built a business empire that was unrivaled in the world. His enterprises spread all over the world, providing employment opportunities for countless people and promoting the development of the global economy. And he himself, from a despised gambler, had become a respected business legend. Finally, standing at the top of his business empire, Ye Chen looked back on the past with mixed feelings. He had rewritten his fate with his rebirth and created a business myth that shook the world, becoming an eternal legend.

His latest obsession, Eldren’s Wrath, is a dark fantasy series that explores themes of power, loyalty, and sacrifice in a world of fearsome creatures and relentless warriors. One fateful night, he dies unexpectedly while halfway through the series, only to awaken in its universe—reincarnated as a lowly, unremarkable NPC merchant in a rugged, hostile village on the outskirts of civilization. It doesn’t take long for Kai to realize he’s hopelessly out of place. Surrounded by adventurers, knights, and monsters straight from Eldren’s Wrath, he knows his days are numbered unless he finds a way to gain strength quickly. Just when despair sets in, a mysterious System activates, presenting him with a harsh ultimatum: level up every day or face relentless penalties. The penalties range from losing his meager resources to physical punishments, with each missed requirement bringing him closer to a permanent death. Reluctantly forced into grueling training regimens, Kai must now engage in daily quests, battle deadly creatures, and learn combat techniques. As he grows, he discovers that the System tracks his achievements through "Protagonist Points," hinting that if he collects enough, he may unlock the rare “Protagonist Rank.” Reaching this rank is the key to returning to his original world, but it requires him to embrace challenges worthy of a hero. Twist: Every action Kai takes towards becoming a hero brings him closer to the fate of the series’ true protagonist, with whom he shares a mysterious connection. To truly earn his “Protagonist Rank,” Kai must not only surpass the original hero of Eldren’s Wrath but also unravel a prophecy that foresees a dark force linked to his past life. As his abilities grow, so do his responsibilities, ultimately pushing Kai to confront his deepest fears, forge alliances, and embrace his role in a world he once dismissed as fantasy. Now, his lazy days are behind him as he battles for survival, allies, and the ultimate prize: a way back home. But will he still want to return when the time comes, or will he find a reason to stay in this world he once admired from afar?

For too long, Riku was content with the simple life of a sushi chef. Having left behind the hectic life of an assassin, his knife now only knows the flesh of fish and food as he hones his craft with both the poor and rich alike. His skills translated well into running his restaurant, his professionalism and dedication to having a perfect record refusing to leave him even in such a low stakes job as running a sushi restaurant.  But then, just as he was cleaning up, he was whisked away to participate in a game that would determine the new god of all existence. While lacking in knowledge about his new surroundings, Riku is still a professional through and through. Offered with the bounty of having his unconditional wishes granted, the Goddess that summoned him wishes for him to win her this game. Well, then he'll just have to make sure that their victory will be as complete as he could possibly make it... Against fantastical beasts and opponent Champions, his skills as an assassin and a combatant will be put to the test. He'll just have to make this Chaotic System actually work to his favor instead of it randomly spitting out nonsensical situational powers that he couldn't use. *** The Deep Blue... The home of the Gods... For eons, the Thirteen Gods have lived together in harmony together with the God Father within the Deep Blue's calm waters. Together, they watched over the universe, content with simply observing as they all worked in tandem with their respective aspects to exact their Father's will. That was, until the God Father died without explanation, and His power locked away until a successor was chosen among His children. Left with an ultimatum, the Thirteen Gods argued on who should inherit their Father's power. Eventually, the arguments became clashes, and the gods eventually realized that them fighting to the death would spell the end of the world. Thus, an agreement was formed. Each of the Thirteen Gods would choose a champion from the sea of souls to fight on their behalf. These champions would brave the Deep Blue's dangers to reach the very bottom of its depths, and whoever gets there first would grant their patron god the right to inherit the God Father's power. Or at least, that was the original agreement. One goddess chose to defy her siblings, deciding to take matters into her own hands by choosing a former assassin-turned-sushi chef as her Champion. Granting him a power well beyond the rules of the game, she is certain that Riku would be the one to end her siblings' endless debates. After all, a goddess of chaos need not to follow the rules...

In this dark comedy, we meet Don, a logical and cold-hearted African American man who was once the most evil supervillain in the world, responsible for the deaths of thousands. However, his life takes an unexpected turn when his mother slaps the black out of him, transforming him into a white man. To make matters worse, he is then killed by a 6-year-old child wielding an energy blast and finds himself in Hell. Don finds himself in Hell, but even the underworld can't handle his audacity. He beats up Satan, rips off his clothes, and shamelessly shares the moment on Hestagram, the Underworld's version of Instagram, for all his demons to see. As a result, Hell kicks him out, unable to keep up with his troublemaking. Now, Don is faced with an ultimatum: work for God as a therapist or face soul erasure. Reluctantly, he becomes a therapist, traveling to multiple worlds and universes to provide therapy, advice, and counseling to the strangest and stupidest beings he encounters. While Don enjoys being back to his original black self in the afterlife, there is little else he finds appealing about his new role. Forced to use the therapist name "White" despite his skin color, Don maintains his jerkish personality, delighting in being rude to his clients and cracking insulting jokes. He firmly believes that he is the embodiment of evil and sees no reason to change. This dark comedy follows Don as he begrudgingly fulfills his responsibilities as a therapist, embracing his wicked nature while working for God. Remember, folks, this is dark comedy.

“I love you, Alethea. I swear to God that I do. I know that you doubt me right now with the deal that I struck with my father and I don’t blame you……………please let me explain.” I desperately begged to the love of my life as she looked at me with pain and love present in her eyes. I tried to step close to her without hurting her or scaring her more than I already did and as soon as I did, she took a step back and that sent a pang of hurt in my already hurting heart. “Babe…………please, Alethea. Let me explain. I ------” “Explain what? That you only asked me out cause your father forced your hand in marriage towards someone you don’t want to get married to? How do I know that this---” she gestured between us as she continues “this thing between us is real? How do I know that you want this? Do you even want to be with me Jacob?” she cried as continued walking towards her car. “I do want this, Alethea. I know that we've only known each for a few months but I want you. I love you, Alethea and I want this—” I gestured between us as I stepped closer to her and held her hand towards my chest to feel my heartbeat and continued “I want this thing between us with everything in me. Damn the company, I’ll even be a stay-at- home husband if you want me to” Jacob Stephano Stone, 26 years old.

"....She was his drug, he was her water..." ............. Arissa had always been an avid fan of freedom. She hated nothing more than being tied down to a relationship, especially when she was still in her early twenties. Yet, her parents had come up with an ultimatum marriage proposal. Strong-willed, confident, independent, and wild Arissa was forced to be humble to her parents and grant their wish of doing something extreme to her to save the life of someone she loves to a fault... And let's not forget, she lives for that person. Fast forwarding to Nicklaus Wyatt, we have a successful, cold-hearted, and Dominant CEO. On the outside, he is the most successful man on planet Earth and the most eligible bachelor but on the inside, he is an extremely damaged and broken soul of no repairs. His mysterious Aura also made it extremely hard for anyone to come close so, they just admired him from a distance. He only has one wish and that is to expand his empire more and not some stupid marriage proposal. So, do we think he would accept the marriage deal?? ....... "I'm your wife and yet, we live like strangers do!" Arissa seethed, gripping his tie in her fist as she tried to support herself. "Of course, it would eventually result in something as ridiculous as a cheating scandal. We aren't even acting like a normal couple should!" She emphasized lowly. Bringing her hand to wrap around his neck, she suddenly missed her footing again and then, she braced herself for the fall about to come but surprisingly, a strong arm for the second time in a night, held her waist firmly. Arissa smiled drunkenly as she made herself comfortable in his strong arms. Bringing her both hands to his checks, she gave them a pinch. "You were scared I would fall?" she asked him with a drunken smile. Yet, that smile was quickly replaced with a frown when she met with nothing but a cold gaze in reply. She pouted and brought her hand to his mouth. Tracing his lips with her slender fingers, "We don't even kiss" she complained with a smile, and at the same time, unknown tears slipped from her eyes. Nicklaus stared at her tears and down at her plump-tinted red lips. He stared at her face again and at her eyes that are already fully stocked with tears and without a second thought, he bent slightly and gave her a light kiss on her lips. SPOILER ALERT::Don't expect a fast romance. Romance would come late because both ML and FL are hard to tame. Their relationship would also go through numerous ups and downs, including occasional break-ups, aggressive ex-girlfriends, attempted murderers, and more. But, would their love strive through all the obstacles or would a few blows and manipulation crumble them Disclaimer: cover is not mine. Daily update, 14 chapters a week. Bonus chapters when pleased.

“You want to marry me?" Luna raised her brows looking straight into the bottomless ocean blue eyes of the world-renowned bachelor sitting in front of her. He wanted to marry her? An ordinary abandoned kid who was still in school? With a single word from him, women of all sizes and backgrounds would be ready to marry him yet he wanted her? That was interesting~ Aiden saw the tiny glint of tease in her eyes despite the serious and confused words she seemed to let out. "It's a marriage of mutual benefit." Luna quietly nodded her head at his words. Indeed. It was a marriage that would benefit both of them. She needed his support at the moment to get avoid trouble and get higher while he needed her to... sleep. Since the first time he met her, he had developed severe insomnia and his disgust towards other people and germs intensified! Before he could just avoid people and be done with it not that he was bothered about getting close to people but now he couldn't even sleep for 2-3 days in a row! "I can marry you Mr. Lee, but..." Luna put a hand on the cup of tea in front of her. She slid her fingers around the rim of the cup while her body leaned towards the table, seemingly getting closer to the man.

"Let's have a pleasant marriage, Ms. Grey." Luna let out a bright smile. "Of course, Mr. Lee." 'Oh, it will be a very pleasant marriage~' When Aiden read those unspoken words that seemed to be attacking him through her bright eyes, he fell silent.
