In the scorching village of Ẹkààrò, hunger runs deeper than the cracked red earth. Iyiola known simply as Iyi is no ordinary young man. Born with water in his lungs and stars in his palms, he carries a restless hunger that food cannot fill. What he truly craves is gold a symbol of power, wealth, and escape from a life tethered by poverty. By day, Iyi drifts through the dusty streets stained by Lagos grime. By night, he dives into the flickering glow of cyber cafes, hacking and scamming his way toward a dream that slips further away with every stolen dime. When danger closes in, he flees into the rain-soaked shadows, chased not just by men but by something ancient and unseen. An enigmatic herbalist offers Iyi a cryptic choice: to leave the world he knows behind and journey into a hidden realm where true wealth is weighed not by coins or diamonds, but by the soul’s price. With a bar of black soap pulsing like a heartbeat in his hands, Iyi steps into a world both familiar and surreal a silent market where riches vanish like smoke and where he is no longer one of them. The Weight of Gold is a gripping urban fantasy that explores the price of ambition, the pull of heritage, and the perilous quest for a treasure that could cost everything. Will Iyi find the gold he seeks or lose himself chasing it?

Summer Bellani had everything—wealth, power, beauty, and a love she believed unbreakable. As the cherished daughter of the Bellani family, she lived a golden life in Italy under the adoring gaze of her four influential brothers and a fiancé who once called her his world. But it all shattered the day her father returned with a secret daughter and placed her into their home like an honored guest. That daughter—Ciara—smiled sweetly, spoke gently, and stole everything. Betrayed, isolated, and slowly poisoned to death, Summer died with hate in her heart and blood on her lips. But fate gave her another chance. Now reborn to the time before her destruction, Summer is no longer the naive socialite people remember. With sharp instincts, a deadly calm, and the aid of Sham Sham—a mysterious system bound to her mother’s ancient artifact—Summer sets out not just to reclaim what was hers… but to ruin those who dared strip her of it. Armed with beauty, brains, and her newfound bond with the ruthless stock market and cutthroat business world, she weaves herself into entertainment scandals, backroom boardroom deals, and the darkest layers of power. What she doesn’t expect is him—the paranoid, emotionally-walled male lead who sees through lies but is haunted by his own demons. As their worlds collide in a slow-burning war of obsession and mistrust, Summer realizes that love may not be the weakness it once was... but a weapon. Betrayal was her past. Domination is her future.

I fell asleep playing a twisted otome game… and woke up as its most hated villainess. Now I’m Davina Emerson — the imperial princess feared by all, executed in every ending, and cursed to die no matter which route I take. Worse? A cold-hearted system appeared, telling me this isn’t a dream. If I want to survive and return home, I must complete every mission it throws at me. Or die trying. And my first mission? Raise the favorability of the male leads — the very men Davina once enslaved, humiliated, or betrayed. A prince once chained in her bedroom — who now smiles while planning her execution. A knight stripped of honor, who treats me like a battlefield. A saint defiled by sin, who once prayed for my soul… and now craves my touch. An ex-fiancé turned rebel, who fights for justice — even if it means my head on a spike. A “loyal pet” bought from the black market — who might be a predator in disguise. They’re all obsessed. They’re all twisted. And they all want me dead… or worse. This world isn’t a game anymore. Every kiss hides a blade. Every favor hides a trap. To survive a twisted reverse harem, I’ll have to outplay the story itself.

Noa lost everything in a single day. He was fired for no reason. Betrayed by the people around him and crushed by debt. Then a truck nearly killed him. And just before the world went black—time froze. Suddenly, Noa is no longer an average human—he is a Dimensional Tycoon, capable of buying and selling planets at market price. When gods need immortality, Noa sells them elixirs. When demon kings want weapons of mass destruction, they pay in cash. When heavens fall, he buys the land. When empires collapse, he auctions the ashes. Noa can trade anything, as long as the price is fair. He doesn’t conquer realms, because in this world, money is the greatest power—and Noa controls the market. After all, even divine beings knock on his door—not to fight, but to ask for a discount. But every tycoon has to start somewhere. For Noa, it began with selling shampoo to bald cultivators.

They call him Ghost. A name whispered in fear across warzones, black markets, and underworld circles. To the world, he's a phantom—a faceless mercenary who leaves no trace but bodies in his wake. To his enemies, he’s a death sentence. To his brothers-in-arms in Graveyard, he’s family. But to himself... he's a haunted man searching for a past stolen in gunfire and smoke. After a flawless mission deep in the Eastern Province, Ghost returns to the hidden forest base he's called home for sixteen years. Yet the victory is short-lived. His foster father, the commander delivers an unexpected order: "That was your last mission." Now, Ghost—real name Miles Sterling—must step out of the shadows of war and into a world he’s never known. Guided only by a scarred letter, a fading memory, and the voice of a woman he hasn’t seen since the day everything was taken from him. But war forged more than his body and name. Behind the mask, behind the scars, Miles has another secret. One he’s kept hidden even from his brothers in arms. He’s not just a weapon. He’s a ghost with a fortune—a hidden empire he built in silence, across borders and black markets, forged in strategy and blood. A man of many names, and many shadows. Beneath the bullets, tattoos, and silence lies a truth buried in ashes. And Ghost is about to dig it up—one letter, one enemy, one memory at a time.

What is martial arts? Martial Arts has nothing to do with musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, painting, treasures or secret manuals, nor is there so much talk about being the best in the world. Martial Arts is a technique, a method that gives the weak a chance to draw their blades against the strong. What is chivalry (xiá)? Chivalry is not about romantic affairs, traditional culture, or being gentle, respectful, frugal, and compliant. Chivalry is violence, it's the bayonet forged by those driven to Mount Liang to use against tyrants. Cao Mo pledged with a dagger, (Returning to) Lu to invade. Zhuan Zhu entered with grilled meat, (Pacifying) Wu to usurp the throne. Brother Zhang cried in the market, avenging his lord by defiling a lavatory. Suicide by cutting one's own throat to seek justice, acting while concealing his sleeve. The tyrant of Qin seized souls, the coward gained courage. This is a martial artist's story. In the 1930s, a group of like-minded young people came together, striving to change the world. Then, two hundred years later, in a garbage landfill, Xiang Shan, the Progenitor of Cyber Martial Arts who had once rebooted heaven and earth, woke up reciting the name of his enemy, having lost all his memories. "Perhaps it's because I lost back then that the world has become what it is..." "So this time, I won't be defeated again!" This is the story of a person changing the world once more!

When there were strange signs in the sky, there must be demons lurking. Li Mo, who had studied antiques since he was young, had a strange change in his eyes after being struck by lightning. With a pair of divine eyes, he gained the ability to see through things and sense objects. He bought a gourd bottle for 500 yuan at a flea market and sold it for 230,000 yuan. A painting he casually bought turned out to be a genuine work by Xu Beihong, worth thirty to forty million yuan. The black double-eared bottle that came with the purchase of a set of gold jewelry turned out to be a genuine possession of the Ming imperial family. Ancient bronze ware, exquisitely crafted porcelain, calligraphy and painting with bold and vigorous strokes, and thrilling gambling stones came one after another. From then on, Li Mo's life underwent a revolutionary change. "I have divine eyes, and there are no treasures in the world that can escape my sight."

I was born in the 1980s, and officially stepped into the world of Feng Shui in 2006. Over the past decade, I’ve witnessed mysteries that most would never believe. In 2013, over 100,000 fish died mysteriously in Liaozhong Reservoir… In Tower Bay Street, spirits marched in a ghostly parade… In Wenguantun, shadowy markets rose at dusk… And in front of the Shenyang Imperial Palace, a ghostly princess once sat in her palanquin. Were these the workings of nature — or something far more ancient and unseen? In ten years, I’ve saved lives — and yes, I’ve ruined some too. Feng Shui is like a blade: it bears no evil or virtue. The darkness lies in the hearts of men. This book is not written to boast about my mastery or to chase after the sensational. I write to share a truth: Feng Shui can nurture life — or destroy it. There is no good or evil in the art itself. Only in the human heart.

The wealthy feed themselves on stolen experiences of first love, childhood wonder, and artistic genius, while the desperate poor auction off their most treasured moments to survive another day. Maya Cho navigates this morally bankrupt world as a licensed Memory Technician, legally aiding the transfer of human experiences through neural interface technology, all while secretly developing revolutionary memory synthesis that could topple the entire economic order. When the notorious memory collector Marcus Webb, heir to the Webb Memory Syndicate empire, discovers that Maya's younger sister Lin possesses an impossibly rare "pure memory"—an untouched childhood recollection of their deceased mother—he will stop at nothing to claim it. But Maya's desperate attempt to protect Lin thrusts her into a labyrinthine conspiracy that reaches the highest echelons of corporate power. As Maya delves deeper into the underground memory markets, she uncovers a horrifying truth: synthetic memories aren't just being created—they're being weaponized to rewrite human consciousness itself. The Webb Syndicate, along with other memory cartels, has been systematically harvesting, editing, and implanting false memories to control populations, eliminate dissidents, and maintain their stranglehold on society.

In a society built on the commodification of the human soul, Maya will discover that the most dangerous memory of all might be the one she's forgotten about herself.

In a world ravaged by a catastrophic event 39 years ago, humanity's remnants have clustered into fortified cities and bustling markets behind towering walls, using a mysterious power known as "Force" to fend off deadly creatures that emerged from the chaos. Among these survivors is a boy, a resident of a city hidden behind these walls. This boy lives a relatively peaceful life with his best friend until an unknown incident engulfs his city in flames, leaving it in ruins. The boy's best friend perishes in the catastrophe, and he himself suffers grievous injuries, seemingly fatal. Miraculously, despite being burned, crushed, and losing copious amounts of blood, the boy clings to life through sheer willpower and perhaps a deeper connection to the Force than he ever realized. Driven by a burning desire for revenge and answers, he embarks on a quest to uncover the truth behind the destruction of his city and the forces at play. As he journeys through the dangerous lands outside the walls, he encounters allies and enemies, each with their own stories of survival and loss. The boy's life transforms as he learns to harness the true potential of the Force, facing trials that test his resolve and uncovering secrets that challenge his understanding of the world and the catastrophe that changed it forever. His path of vengeance becomes one of discovery, leading him to confront the creatures and shadowy figures responsible for the devastation, and ultimately, to redefine his purpose in a world on the brink of another upheaval.

Japan – National News Broadcast The polished news anchor sat upright, her gaze sharp as she adjusted the stack of papers before her. The newsroom behind her hummed with quiet urgency, the weight of the moment settling over the broadcast. "Authorities are baffled by a sudden and unexplained surge in sleep-related deaths across Japan," she began, her voice steady yet tense. "More and more citizens are passing away in their sleep without any prior health concerns. Experts are working tirelessly to determine the cause, but no clear explanation has emerged. Authorities urge the public to remain vigilant and report any unusual symptoms before bedtime." A graphic appeared, displaying the spike in fatalities over the past month. Behind her, unsettling photographs flickered across the screen—blurred images of individuals found in their beds, their faces frozen in expressions of terror. The anchor’s tone shifted. "Health officials recommend citizens avoid excessive fatigue and maintain healthy sleep habits. More updates will follow as investigations continue." --- United States – Paranormal Podcast In a dimly lit podcast studio, the host leaned forward, his eyes wide with curiosity. Across from him, a rugged man in a worn flannel shirt, gripping a faded photograph in one hand and a beer can in the other, leaned back in his chair. "So, you're telling me you saw this creature firsthand?" the host asked, clearly intrigued. The man scoffed, shaking his head. "Damn right, I did. Ugly thing had wings bigger than my body—slow but sneaky. Thought it could steal my pigs again, but I was ready this time—camera in one hand, shotgun in the other." He slammed the table for emphasis, then shoved the blurry image toward the host. The photograph depicted a small, red-skinned humanoid figure with large, bat-like wings, its eyes glowing faintly in the darkness. "Spit, the thing didn’t know what hit it when I fired!" the man chuckled, his voice full of excitement. The host held up the picture to the live chat. "Alright, what do you think? Mothman? Demon? Or is our friend here just seeing things?" The chat exploded with theories—some skeptical, others eager for the investigation to continue. --- China – Liangyuan Street Market Surveillance footage from a bustling night market in China captured a chilling scene. A woman in a red qipao walked gracefully through the crowd, her figure striking in the soft glow of lanterns. Suddenly, she paused. Her body flickered—like a glitch in a video—before vanishing completely, as though she had never existed. The footage zoomed in, replaying in slow motion. In the final frame before she disappeared, her face distorted unnaturally, her eyes hollow and empty. The screen cut abruptly to black.

The betrayal of his girlfriend, the humiliation of his boss, and the medical expenses of his mother's serious illness, like three mountains pressing down on the social animal Chen Fan, made him breathless. On the rainy night when reality trampled him into the dust, a mysterious mobile phone from ten years later received the first message: "I am you ten years later. Don't ask why, just listen. Three days later, Binhai Technology will announce the "Loongson 1" plan, and the stock price will rise for seven consecutive days. Take out the 30,000 yuan surgery fee prepared for your mother under your bed and buy it all. This is our only chance" From this moment on, Chen Fan's life was forcibly restarted! The shocking secrets of the stock market, the blueprint of the future business empire, the underground tycoons hidden in the dark, and the shocking changes in the future political and economic landscape, the future self, sent "destiny codes" again and again at key nodes. When everyone thought he was just lucky, Chen Fan had already laid out a shocking chess game at the top of the wave of the times. "They thought it was fate that chose me, but in fact, I was manipulating fate."

In a world where humans are prey, trust is poison, and darkness wears many faces, she must choose: fade quietly into obedience, or burn her way into legend.

At just 18, his entire world laid into shambles when his intern retrieved the loan he borrowed, the bank seized all he had left with him, and worse, his father disowned him. That was when he died out. But fate had other plans. He wakes up in the body of Rino Carter, the "useless" son of a global billionaire who also believes in online wealth, but is termed lazy by everyone around him. Except this time, Rino has something powerful by his side... He awakened "The Throne of Gold System". Not only did he awaken this system, Rino returned as another being of the same identity in a different timeline, and this time, he’s building an empire no one can take from him. He’ll conquer the world of money, crush his enemies and win hearts, with the system by his side. *** "You see, money is power. And I? I have money."—Rino Carter. -------------------------------------------------- Join Discord Server: https://discord.gg/jVvDntgd8w

He Ran and Shen Miao were never just best friends. They were two hearts silently beating for each other, too afraid to speak. Until one day, he disappeared — without a goodbye. Five years later, fate writes them back into the same story. He’s the cold, powerful CEO of LUMIGO. She’s the bold, graceful marketing manager standing across the boardroom. Old sparks never died. But second chances… don’t come easy.
