The Banished Former Hero Lives As He Pleases

Jinwoo Park — not Sung — was a guy who had nothing going for him except his knack for being a total jerk. Kicked out of his house for being, well, a pretty terrible person, he had nowhere to go but the convenience store where he worked. Life was miserable, and his only escape was finding ways to make people’s lives harder. But then, one day, something changed. In a world full of awakeners and chaos, Jinwoo was suddenly given powers that turned his life on its head. From broke and despised to rich and powerful–still despised, he now had everything he thought he ever wanted. But, deep down, there was still that insatiable hunger for more — more money, more power, more chaos. Now, armed with abilities he doesn’t fully understand, Jinwoo’s hunger for wealth knows no bounds. The convenience store? That was just his starting point. The world is his playground, and he’s not stopping until he has it all. He might as well save the world too. warning ⚠️: it's cringy --------------------------- This book is a work of fiction.

She was erased from every system. Buried in the cold core of a dead prison planet. Labeled dangerous, forbidden, and lost. But now—she’s awake. In a world ruled by algorithms, empires, and emotionless AI, Basid is a ghost the system couldn’t kill. A woman once built to lead an empire… now back to burn it down. Hunted by cybernetic assassins and data-hungry corporations, she doesn’t remember everything—yet. But one thing is clear: She lives beyond code. And she wants revenge. Step into a neon-lit world of betrayal, resurrection, and post-human power where memories are encrypted, trust is a virus, and the most dangerous weapon… is a woman who shouldn't exist.

Neva and Rhett—two young souls—find their heartstrings woven in love. But just as passion and peace begin to bloom, fate intervenes. Bleak, haunting circumstances scatter blades across their romance, threatening to tear them apart. Ishmael—a man with a heart of thorns—yearns to mend the wound of losing Neva. And in the end, rays of love and joy filter through the clouds of horror that darken his world—as Neva appears before him once more. Twisted fate entangles them all, revealing the Game of Sphere, as misery scorches their souls. A concealed life beyond turns its pages—one after another—gathering sin and virtue, tragedy and fortune, strength and frailty, creation, love... and hate. Illusion is where we live—in the garden of Eden before the fall of man. Illusion is serenity—an evermore sanguine of love. The vision of paradise in the New Earth sows hope deep in the soul. The delusory pleasures of this world ignite the flames that burn in oceans of fire. Illusive Eden is rapture. Illusive Eden is tragedy. The fall of man—even now bleeds red. The whisper whirls the dawn of a man—he who pretends to be the hero. --- The girl who once vowed to be his forever Now forbids him to ever appear. She refuses to recognize him, Disregarding all he ever was. He vows to protect her. Yet he is the terrifying truth she prays is a lie. He trips her, rips her apart— He's the living tragedy looming over her life. He once was her Elayne, now her hiraeth. He is the villain—pretending to be the hero. --- The Lord is the way— Steady through the wilderness. The King is the truth— Burning through the lies. The Father is the life— Breathing spirit into dust. She kneels before the Ruler, The God who shaped galaxies— He has called her a poet. Her tongue shall be anointed. Her poetry shall be the rivers of His word. She will scatter seeds in broken fields, And He will send the sun. He will send the rain. He will draw the roots down deep. He yields to the Ruler, The God of blazing holiness— He has called him a soldier. His fists shall be unclenched. The sword of the Spirit rests in his grip. He will shield the sower of the seeds, As storms rise against the harvest. His strength will be not his own, But drawn from the marrow of grace. This faith shall shake the mountains, For He has conquered the filth of the flesh. This flame will cleanse the shadows. For He has defeated the darkness. This love shall live on for eternity, For He has overcome the mortal world.

On a bright Tuesday morning, a monster was born. Or perhaps... a demon? The sound of a newborn's cry tore through the sterile halls of the hospital, piercing the quiet like a curse. Lights above flickered violently, reacting to the sudden surge of electricity that pulsed through the building—unexplained, and oh-so-absolutely unsettling. “Liu Xian…” the mother whispered, her voice barely a breath, her eyelids fluttering as darkness pulled at her. But she fought it, clinging to life for just one reason—to name the child that had stolen her last breath. Her lips trembled into a faint smile. “We’ll call him Liu Xian…” Her hand reached out weakly, trembling as it brushed the tiny bundle swaddled in white—then fell, limp, lifeless, against the blood-soaked sheets. The father stood frozen, cradling the child in arms that didn’t feel like his own. His wife’s blood still clung to the infant’s skin, seeping into the fabric of his clothes like a brand. “You killed her,” he choked out, the words barely audible, not meant for anyone but the darkness in his heart. He looked down at the baby, eyes brimming with a twisted mix of grief, hate and rage. “You fucking killed her, you monster!" _______ There will be daily updates, and for every 5 golden tickets, I'll upload one extra chapter.

el El Héroe Olvidado de Oakhaven Liam es un aspirante a aventurero de rango F en el bullicioso Gremio de Aventureros de Oakhaven, donde sus días están lejos de las épicas batallas, más bien llenos de tareas mundanas y el constante desafío de mantenerse a flote junto a sus peculiares compañeros. Con una inocencia inquebrantable y un optimismo contagioso, Liam sueña con forjar su propia leyenda, todo bajo la atenta y enigmática mirada de Kaelen, la Maestra del Gremio. Sin embargo, la aparente normalidad de Liam se ve interrumpida por **recuerdos fragmentados y aterradores** que asaltan sus sueños. Estas no son las fantasías heroicas a las que está acostumbrado, sino visiones vívidas de un "él" mucho mayor, empuñando una espada legendaria que rasga la galaxia, enfrentándose a seres colosales y quedando atrapado entre miles de torres gigantescas. Cada vez que aparecen, estas visiones se desvanecen al despertar, dejando solo una sutil gota de maná dorado que recorre sus meridianos por un instante antes de desaparecer. A medida que Liam se esfuerza por mejorar y asciende lentamente en las filas del gremio, estos destellos crípticos comienzan a insinuar un linaje y un destino mucho más grandiosos y peligrosos de lo que jamás podría imaginar. El Liam de siempre, un poco torpe y muy entusiasta, sigue ahí, pero pequeños cambios se manifiestan: un fugaz brillo dorado en sus ojos, una audacia inexplicable y una creciente sensación de un poder latente que no comprende. Kaelen, siempre observadora, nota estas anomalías con un interés que va más allá de la curiosidad ordinaria, intuyendo que este recluta esconde algo extraordinario. **_El Héroe Olvidado de Oakhaven_** es una historia de autodescubrimiento donde un héroe en ciernes debe reconciliar su humilde presente con los ecos de un pasado legendario y aterrador. ¿Podrá Liam desentrañar el misterio de sus recuerdos antes de que el pasado olvidado lo alcance? Y, ¿qué papel jugará Kaelen al despertar el verdadero poder de este "anomalía de rango F" antes de que la verdad lo consuma todo?

"WHY DID SHE DIE BUT NOT YOU?" Three years ago, I was the daughter of a proud Alpha and once destined to lead the Bloodpine Pack. But everything changed the day I took my little sister to the woods for a moment of fun on the night of her birthday. Unfortunately, only one of us returned alive, my sister drowned in the river. Her grave marked the death of my life, banished by my father’s bitter words, and on the day of my sister’s funeral, I fled the Pack and lived as a rogue slave, believing that I deserved every scar as I kept telling myself that I killed my sister. Then fate twisted the knife deeper. On my eighteenth birthday, I was dragged before Alpha Lucian, the strongest, most feared Alpha of the East and discovered I was his fated mate. At first I rejected him but the mate bond became too strong for any of us to resist. “You were never my choice.” he said to me on the night we were bound as mates. Lucian never wanted me, he gave me the title of Luna and the cold shoulder. Still, I endured the mockery, hoping the mate bond would awaken his heart. Until the day he brought home the woman he loved who turned out to be no one else but Elira, my supposed dead sister. "You can leave now. I love her," he said. I fell to my knees. "Sister…" Betrayed, humiliated, yet clinging to the bond, I fought to prove my worth to Lucian, but fate wasn’t finished with me yet. I heard about my sister’s deadly plot to have me killed. I informed Lucian about this, maybe he can keep me safe but instead, I was disgraced by him, called a liar and Lucian cast me out of his pack with the secret of his child in my womb. I walked away with pain and anger in my heart. Years passed by, Lucian’s pack was in ruins and the Alpha lies wounded at my feet. My heart is cold and my son is my only light. But the mate bond doesn’t break so easily, and neither do I. Will love rise from betrayal, or will I claim my revenge?

Of all people… it had to be him." A boy lounged on the crimson velvet sofa, posture lazy but eyes burning. One leg draped over the other, fingers drumming a slow, restless rhythm against the armrest.

In 2020, a friend of mine at the time recommended a manhwa called "Tomb Raider King," and currently, I’m following several with an academy theme, 70% of which have been abandoned (please don’t leave me, "The Extra’s Academy Survival Guide"). That’s why I wanted something similar — so I could read without the fear of it being canceled or going on permanent hiatus because its creator has to do military service or is being exploited at work. Obviously, a novel isn’t the same as a manhwa, but I don’t care (just like having a cover made with AI).

Through him, can people finally live as equals? ...Or will his twisted idea about justice and fairness only bring more fear and destruction?
