Picture a design studio covered in organic cotton sample books, mood boards plastered with "Save the Planet" Post-it notes, and me, a cynical idealist in hemp onesies wailing into a roll of recycled polyester. My life's savings, $590,000 in Bitcoin to launch an eco-friendly apparel company ("Thread Light: Wear Your Conscience"), had been taken by a "green grant" scam as slick as a polyester jumpsuit. The con man's website? An eco-theater piece of art: solar-powered server badges, environmentally friendly marketing, and a PDF application that probably cost a rainforest in bytes. I clicked on "submit," and faster than you can say "fast fashion," my crypto was gone. In the midst of rants about compostable glitter, a user named Crypto Eco posted: Cyber Constable Intelligence.

Full Title, AZI: The History Shattering Burial of a Selfish Lunatic, Who Walked through Reincarnation for Two-Trillion Years Volumes 1-3 Synopsis: “Who?” Holding a lone gourd in hand the young man raises it to the Heavens with a single question. “Who wishes to accompany me? To stay by my side for an eternity, and to walk through the mountains, and seas?” May container spoilers below Volume 4 Synopsis: Weapon spirits, such is the nature of every single Sinner within the Leng Bing Realm. In other words, all of them are but tools, and a tool… “A tool has no right to choose their owner, and what a tool does is decided by their owner.” “…Cruel, how very cruel the laws of this world are. Even upon death, a soul may not rest.” Volume 5 Synopsis: “Surnamed Ye, if you had a choice between being a hero or a demon lord, which would you choose? Naturally, you can also choose to be a villager A or B if you wanted to.” “What kind of question is that? Hmm.” Contemplating for a bit, Ye Chen answers— “I guess, the hero? Since he always wins in the end?” “Hero, is it?” “And you, surnamed Long?” “I think, the role of the hero—is a role that should only be played by a masochist.” “The hell? Is this entire question supposed to be a way to diss me?” “The fate of a hero is to suffer. They’re constantly being pushed left and right. …While everyone else drowns in a sea of despair, a hero must stand their ground, and step forward—to guide the deadbeats along. They must become the shining beacon of hope that others may follow—towards a future, where they may survive. Tell me then, if a hero isn’t a masochist, then what are they?” The world is a game board, those who control the game board, and the game itself… What are they? Volume 6 Synopsis: “A lunatic near death has three options. One, they can choose to pass away peacefully. Two, they can choose to spend the rest of their remaining life to find a solution that will let them live. Three, they can drag an entire world down as a part of their burial.” ……… “The longer you live for, and the more you experience, the less you care about the things around you. Maybe, I’m just someone who has reached that point?” ……… “You’re right in saying that even if this world goes up into flames, I’d still be drinking away at my leisure. Why bother to care for a world that is completely foreign to me? The people who I had cared for, they aren’t here; hence, I see very little purpose in getting myself invested into this environment.” ……… The 46th prince of the Hong Xiao Empire was born between the emperor and the 114th concubine. He was born on a moonlit night, and yet, since his eyes were blind, his majesty—the emperor decided to name him Bujian Yue. “Did you know—that the more fearful a prey is, the tastier it is? At least to me, since I enjoy chewing on my food to savor the flavor.” “…?” Enlarging its stature, the black serpent abruptly snaps its head forward, and swallows the palace maid whole. Leaving a bite mark on the ground, the black serpent begins to chew, as the sound of meat and bones being pulverized comes from its maw. And eventually, the black serpent swallows.

Title: "The Forgotten Heiress: Rules of Rebirth" When Sang Ning blinked awake in a rural farmhouse, the 21st century gained its most anachronistic socialite. The former crown jewel of Ming Dynasty aristocracy—trained from birth to command households and outmaneuver concubines—now found herself reborn as Nan Group's long-lost heiress. Her "sister"? A champagne-drenched fraud waving a Stanford diploma. "Your honors thesis plagiarizes 14th-century embroidery manuals," Sang Ning remarked over afternoon tea, her hanfu sleeves fluttering like war banners. The Nans soon learned bloodlines matter: This "peasant girl" restored ancestral shrines in a week, turned board meetings into imperial courts, and made their five-star chefs kneel when serving shark fin soup. Meanwhile, Beijing's most notorious heir was breaking his own rules. Jason He, whose Lamborghini collisions made tabloid gold, found himself obsessed with teaching modern customs to the time-traveling noblewoman: "Handshakes require... seven seconds of eye contact." His thumb stroked her pulse point. "Corporate dinners mandate... partner dancing." His grip slid lower at the waltz's crescendo. When she pressed a jade hairpin to his throat after an attempted goodnight kiss, the billionaire playboy grinned through bleeding lips: "Careful, princess. In this era, drawing blood means signing marriage contracts." In a world of silicon valley and silicon fillers, a queen from China's golden age is rewriting the rules of power—and passion.

Power. Control. Discipline. Peter Alexander built his empire on these principles, becoming the second wealthiest man in the world. Cold, ruthless, and dangerously untouchable, he has no patience for weakness—especially not the kind that comes from desire. Then she walks into his life. Naarah, a breathtaking beauty with an innocent heart, unknowingly steps into Peter’s world when she interrupts a high-stakes business meeting, challenging him in front of his board. Bold, unaware of the dangers surrounding her, she defies him without hesitation. And for the first time in years, Peter feels something stir—something dangerous, something forbidden. But he’s not the only one who notices her. His greatest rival, the world’s richest and most merciless man, sets his sights on Naarah, mistaking lust for love and believing she belongs to him. Deception, manipulation, and a deadly obsession pull her deeper into a world she doesn’t understand. And when she begins to mistake her confusion for feelings toward the wrong man, the stakes rise even higher. Peter watches, his patience wearing thin, his control slipping. She should fear him—he’s a man who takes what he wants. Yet, she challenges him at every turn, awakening a hunger he can no longer ignore. But when his rival crosses the line, threatening to steal everything, Peter will stop at nothing to protect the woman he can no longer deny belongs to him. In a battle of power, passion, and possession, can Naarah resist the dark allure of the billionaire who wants to claim her? And when desire turns to something deeper, will Peter allow himself to surrender to the only thing he’s ever feared—love?

A villain is never the master of his own destiny. He is there to play a role, to oppose the hero, to generate conflict, and finally, to die. Their pride is broken, their goals dashed, and their name forgotten, penned only as a footnote in another man's tale. Leonard von Edevane was supposed to be one of them. Heir to one of the strong ducal families, he was nothing but an arrogant idiot, destined for humiliation, bereft of everything, and martyred as a stepping stone to the so-called hero. But what if the villain does not fall? A stranger from another planet wakes up in Leonard's body, equipped with visions of the future and a mind that will not be tied to a script. If the world wishes him to play the fool, he will do so, playing the role arrogant, untouchable, the noble young master who commands the academy with supreme confidence. But beneath that façade there is something much worse. A man who observes, a man who learns, a man who computes. A man who will turn foes into pawns, rivals into tools, and destiny into nothing more than an annoyance. The hero? Merely another pawn on the board. The academy? A war zone. The noble houses? Puppets in waiting for strings to be pulled. But as he rewrites his own fate, he starts to unravel secrets that were never in the original story secrets hidden beneath history, powers within bloodlines, and enemies waiting beyond the pages of the story he knew. A villain's job is to lose. Leonard von Edevane will be the first to show that a villain can win.

Ryker Romano is not just a man-he's a force of nature. The calm before the storm. The predator who watches from the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. They call him the Devil of Darkness and Deception, and they're right. He's everything I've been warned about, the enemy I've sworn to hate. Yet, fate has twisted our paths, and now I'm bound to him by a marriage neither of us can escape. Behind his cold, piercing eyes and charming facade lies a man as dangerous as they come. Every smile is calculated. Every touch is a move in his deadly game. He didn't just lure me into his web-he built it just for me, and like a moth to the flame, I couldn't resist. Now, I'm caught in the center of his world, where loyalty is a myth, and betrayal is survival. But I'm no damsel waiting to be destroyed. We're both playing a game where the stakes are our lives, and though Ryker thinks he controls every piece on the board, he's about to find out that I'm not the pawn he believes I am. I will unravel his plans, expose his darkest secrets, and when the final move is made, it will be my victory.

In the heart of a quiet town, a centuries-old curse stirs from the shadows. Long ago, on Valentine’s Day, Mary’s life ended in betrayal and blood. Now, her spirit lingers in a monstrous vessel—a cursed cat that brings death to any who dare speak her name.

As students begin to vanish and chilling whispers of Mary’s curse resurface, fear grips the school’s ivy-covered halls. No one is safe from the creature that lurks in the night—a monster that kills without warning and vanishes without a trace. But the horror doesn’t end with bloodshed. It plays with its prey—taunting, lurking, and feeding on their terror. As Tasha becomes entangled in the legend, she realizes the curse is more personal than she could have imagined. With the town descending into chaos and the shadows tightening around her, Tasha must uncover the truth behind Mary’s wrath. But the question remains—can the monster be stopped, or is death inevitable once the name Mary is spoken? In Black Valentine, love and betrayal intertwine with vengeance and blood. And once the curse is awakened, the only gift Valentine’s Day brings… is death.

The Righteous Villain's Game In a world where magic and technology intertwine seamlessly, Soren Blackwood opens his eyes to find himself reincarnated into the body of Elias Luminari, the sole heir to the Luminari Dynasty—a family renowned for their powerful light magic and generations of heroic deeds. To the public, the Luminaris represent the pinnacle of moral virtue and justice. But Soren—cunning, ruthless, and unapologetically self-serving—views his new prestigious position as merely a convenient mask for his true ambitions. His plans take an unexpected turn when a mysterious system activates in his mind, offering immense power with a single condition: systematically dismantle the destinies of the world's "chosen ones." The system requires him to target those marked by fate for greatness—specifically, to seduce their fated partners, sabotage their heroic journeys, and ultimately eliminate these would-be protagonists from the grand narrative. With cold calculation, Soren navigates the complex web of magical academies, aristocratic politics, and secret societies that define this new reality. He crafts elaborate schemes beneath the veneer of the perfect Luminari heir, exploiting his family's connections and resources while concealing his true nature. As Soren's list of targets grows, so does his power—but so too do the complications. Some of his victims prove unexpectedly resilient, others disturbingly perceptive. And as he delves deeper into the system's origins, he uncovers disturbing patterns that suggest his own reincarnation might be part of a much darker game—one where even he might be merely another piece on the board. In a world that worships its heroes, Soren embraces being the villain. But in a reality where destiny itself can be manipulated, the line between protagonist and antagonist blurs beyond recognition.

But behind the successful facade lies a man burdened by past wounds and a life dictated by duty. Unbeknownst to the world, Rudra enters into a secret marriage with Anaya Malhotra, a young and innocent woman caught in the web of family expectations and societal pressure.

The Throne of fate _Fantasy story. Betrayed by blood. Murdered in silence. Reborn with vengeance. Once, Princess Gwendolyn was the rightful heir to the throne of Vernom—a kingdom where daughters were seen as lesser, and power was a game played by men. She was kind, strong, and just, but none of it mattered. Her stepmother, Queen Morganna, saw her as a threat and, in the dead of night, ended her life with cold steel. But fate is not so easily swayed. Reincarnated as Merdrith—the daughter of the very woman who killed her—Gwendolyn is reborn into the same palace that betrayed her. Yet this time, she is no naive princess. From the moment she opens her eyes, she remembers everything: the pain, the betrayal, and the stolen crown.

Author: Lone Raut Synopsis (Narrated by Deadpool’s Chaotic Cousin Who Forgot to Take Their Meds): Alright, gather ‘round, folks! Let me spin you a tale so dark it’ll make your therapist retire. Picture this: Yours truly was just another fancy-pants “man of culture” on a serial killer’s hit list—because apparently, collecting rare books and quoting Nietzsche makes you a target. Who knew? (Spoiler alert: I died. Surprise!) But death? Nah, that’s just the opening act. Instead of sweet oblivion, I woke up knee-deep in Saint’s Odyssey—a fantasy novel I once tossed into my “dumpster fire of bad writing” pile. Think Game of Thrones meets Saw, but with more existential dread. And guess what? I’m not the dashing hero. Nope. I’m the guy the author conveniently labeled “Villain.” Cool, right? (Cue jazz hands.) But hold onto your chimichangas, because this “hero”? Oh, he’s a masterpiece of hypocrisy. Smiles like a Disney prince, stabs like a back-alley surgeon. His grand plan? Wipe out half the world because reasons. Classic hero logic! Meanwhile, the gods are upstairs chugging ambrosia and betting on our suffering. Adorable!!!. Well, newsflash, Olympus—I’m hijacking this plot. Reborn with a vendetta and a PhD in chaos, I’m not here to play nice. Rules? Burn ‘em. Heroes? Crush ‘em. World domination? Duh!. This ain’t a redemption arc; it’s a blood-soaked takeover tour. Think Machiavelli with a splash of Joker and a side of espresso. They call me ruthless? Damn right. I’ll out-scheme the schemers, out-betray the traitors, and maybe burn a kingdom or two for aesthetic. The hero thinks he’s pulling strings? Sweetheart, I’m the puppetmaster—and I just cut the threads. Every battle’s a chess move, every ally a pawn, and the board? Oh, it’s dripping in red. And hey, let’s laugh while we’re at it. Ever seen a “chosen one” trip over his own halo? Poetic. Ever roasted a god so hard they literally combust? (Working on it.) This world’s a joke, and I’m the punchline—delivered with a knife. So buckle up, buttercups. The script’s flipped, the crown’s mine, and if the heroes cry about “morals”? Tell ‘em to write a Yelp review. This villain’s rewriting destiny—one corpse at a time. TL;DR: Death was my warm-up. Now? I’m here to conquer, crack jokes, and maybe commit some light treason. World, meet your new overlord. Resistance is hilarious . Hahahahaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)

SYNOPSIS In the city of Avalon, manipulation isn't just an art, it's a war. Lucian Vale, the world's most elusive manipulator, orchestrates a crisis designed to cripple economies and outplay his greatest rival, Ariadne Wolfe. But when Magnus Cain, a master strategist who doesn't play by the rules, steps in, the board is flipped before Lucian even realizes the game has changed. As alliances crumble and global power shifts, the world's greatest minds race to stay one move ahead, and survival means outthinking the ones who see everything. CONTENT WARNING This novel focuses on the strategic consequences of manipulation rather than explaining manipulation techniques in a way that could be used practically. It explores mind games, deception, and psychological warfare but does not serve as a manual for manipulation. It aligns with many political thriller and espionage novels, which depict power struggles, intelligence misdirection, and strategic deception without directly teaching harmful tactics. The emphasis is on narrative intrigue, character conflicts, and the cascading effects of manipulation in events rather than step-by-step instructions on manipulation. If the concern is about violating certain cultural sensitivities, the story can be framed as a high-stakes intelligence thriller, similar to many intellectual novels or dramas, without promoting unethical behavior.

 It all started with losing her mother, getting thrown into a boarding school, and then having the rumored witch-like princess of the kingdom desire her and want her by all means necessary. But it isn't the innocent type of desire she had expected. It's something much darker than she could ever handle.         ****  Sera didn't think her life would ever take a turn for the worst until her worthless father remarried her mother's half sister and, on her orders, sent Sera to a boarding school that was far off in a different kingdom—Elysium High, an all-girls academy for the most prestigious daughters in all of the seven kingdoms.    In Elysium, only the most powerful could survive, as even the prettiest and most innocent-looking faces had skeletons in their closests and would ruin anyone or anything that got in their way. Unfortunately for innocent and naive Sera, she would become the newest prey of Elysium, and everyone wants a piece of the beautiful redhead.     But what happens when the most unexpected person also takes an interest in her?   Electra's name alone was enough to get the entire school shaking in fear. Not only was she the only heir to the most powerful kingdom in the realm, she was also known as the cold-hearted queen of Elysium High. Nothing and no one ever caught Electra's attention, until the arrival of Sera, where everything changed.     And all it took was for clumsy Sera to bump into the most powerful one of them all.  *** THIS BOOK IS RATED 18+!

In a world where martial strength reigns supreme, Heu Ma walks a different path—one paved with wealth, manipulation, and blood. Once a naive scholar, he was betrayed and left to die, only to awaken with the enigmatic Merchant System, granting him the ability to trade, scheme, and rise beyond the limits of mere warriors. Now, hidden behind the guise of a humble merchant, Heu Ma orchestrates the downfall of sects, brokers power among ruthless martial clans, and plays even the strongest like pieces on a board. Beneath the glow of the Blood Moon, he builds his empire—not with a sword, but with contracts written in fate and deals sealed with blood. Yet, in his ascent, five figures stand at the crossroads of his destiny—the Five Jade Beauties, each embodying a different ideal: the perfect gentleman of wisdom and the four unmatched women, paragons of grace, ambition, and deadly allure. Some will challenge him, some will follow, and others… he will break. As the world watches, torn between fear and admiration, Heu Ma prepares for his final gambit. Will he remain the unseen puppeteer, or will he become the emperor of the martial world itself? When gold and blood weigh the same, only the true merchant will decide their worth.
