Syndicate Final Boss

**"Leave me alone! Please, just let me go!"** My voice cracked as I thrashed in his iron grip, but it was useless. He scooped me up effortlessly, his hold unyielding, carrying me off to a fate I couldn’t escape. This can’t be happening. Not now. Not like this. "I don’t want this," I whispered, my voice raw with terror. "Please… just let me go." My pleas barely reached his ears, or if they did, he didn’t care. His silence was louder than any threat, his indifference a dagger to my chest. A heartbeat later, my body hit the softness of a king-sized bed, but there was no comfort in it. My tears had nearly dried, leaving only silent sobs wracking my frame. I forced myself to speak, desperation lacing every syllable. "Luciano, please," I choked out. "If I’ve wronged you in any way, I’m sorry. But don’t punish me like this." A deafening crack split the air, and before I could react, fire exploded across my cheek. The force of the slap sent my head whipping to the side, my skin stinging from the brutal contact. The room pulsed with danger. **"No one calls me by my name,"** he growled, his voice like crushed glass—sharp, merciless. **"And no one tells me what to do."** His fingers curled under my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. Cold, dark, and bottomless, his eyes held no mercy, no hesitation. "You will warm my bed," he murmured, his voice dangerously soft, laced with cruel intent. "You will satisfy my every craving, no matter how disastrous, no matter how dark." A wicked smirk ghosted over his lips, his grip tightening. "Because you are mine to break. And no one stops me." He leaned in, his breath fanning against my trembling lips. "Now… come here." --- Story by white pheonix

Alistair Vaelthorne was once the prodigy of his noble house, a swordsman blessed with nature’s power. But when he accepted the blessing of an abyssal constellation, he was cast out—disowned, branded a heretic, and left to survive on his own. In his moment of despair, his fate took an even darker turn. Ethan Kael, the strongest superhuman of his world, was betrayed and killed by those who feared him. His soul, however, did not rest. It merged with Alistair’s, their minds intertwining, their hunger for power fusing into something far greater. And with that fusion came knowledge—this world was a game, a story he was never meant to shape. He was not the protagonist. He was not even a villain. He was an extra, a footnote in someone else’s tale. But armed with forbidden blessings, a ruthless will, and the hidden cheats from game, Alistair refuses to be forgotten. Whether feared or worshiped, he will carve his name into history—not as a hero, not as a villain, but as an existence that transcends both. If fate made him an extra, then he would become the most powerful extra this world has ever seen.

In the rugged landscapes of Bashkortostan, a land steeped in ancient myths and untamed nature, mysterious "Gates" begin to tear open reality. From these portals emerge monstrous beings—twisted versions of Bashkir folklore creatures like Shurale, Azraka, and Ubyr—threatening to overrun the world. Amid the chaos, an unlikely hero emerges: Aydar Salavatov, a lowly courier from Sterlitamak with no grand ambitions. Chosen by a cryptic "System," Aydar gains the powers of a batyr, a legendary warrior of Bashkir epics, starting with the humble "Voice of the Urals." Weak but determined, he must level up his abilities, confront the horrors spilling from the Gates, and uncover the dark force behind them. In a journey across Bashkortostan’s mountains, rivers, and cities, Aydar will rise from obscurity to become the batyr the world needs—if he can survive. *** Notes for English Readers: Bashkortostan: A republic in Russia, located in the Ural Mountains region, known for its rich history, diverse landscapes, and unique Bashkir culture. Think of it as a land where ancient traditions meet modern life. Batyr: A heroic figure from Bashkir folklore, akin to a knight or warrior of epic tales, often blessed with extraordinary strength or wisdom. Shurale: A forest spirit in Bashkir and Tatar mythology, typically a trickster with long claws who lures people to their doom. Here, it’s a towering, menacing monster. Azraka: A mythical dragon-like creature tied to the Ural Mountains, guarding treasures or secrets. Ubyr: A malevolent spirit or vampire-like entity that feeds on life force, sometimes possessing humans. System: Inspired by "Solo Leveling," a game-like interface that grants powers, levels, and quests to chosen individuals.

The end for a person is death, but what, then, is the end of death itself?

The Princess locked up in the Evil Dragon's home is just like a yacht owned by a tycoon – it's not so much about whether it's used, but that you can't be without one. Ideally, it comes with a few bounty quests; the higher the level, the better. If there's a dragon-slaying quest, even better – that's the kind of prestige we're talking about. If you don't have a Princess in your lair cursing you to hell every day, you'd be too embarrassed to even say hello to other Evil Dragons. What, the King sent Adventurers to gang up on me? Hahaha, I, the grand Level 80 Black Dragon Lord, a world-class BOSS, how could I possibly care about a bunch of Adventurers. What! The Adventurers have already reached outside the dungeon? All of them are maxed-out big shots, and there are two heroes leading the charge! And the leader is a Dragon Slaying Swordsman! I'm done for, now what to do… Heroes and villains, black dragons and mortals, the formidable BOSS of the game world and the insignificant streamer of reality. This is a story about a Black Dragon BOSS player.

In a world where ‘hero’ is a cursed word, I stand alone. They hate me. They fear me. But I have the power — and the burden — to save them. This is my final life, and I will not waste it.

What is the one problem a god can't solve? Boredom. Jaco isn't really a god, but he's as close as any human is ever gonna get. Tall, attractive, extremely intelligent, strong, and loved by everyone, most people would consider him a god, and in rare moments of narcissistic self indulgence, so would he. So, how does he deal with the encroaching issue of boredom? He does everything, then moves on to greater things. Upon realizing that there's nothing else to do, he decides to take his leave before boredom makes him into something lesser. After going out with a bang that will be recorded in the history books (should human civilization survive), he is pleasantly surprised to realize that he's now in another world, one that seems far more interesting that the first. Lets get this out of the way. So there are no misconceptions, I am not a writer, nor do I ever plan on becoming one. The only reason I'm doing this now is because I got tired of the same cliché rinse and repeat garbage that I've found on here recently. I wanted a specific type of story and realized that I was just going to have to write it myself. That being said, I do want this to be the greatest version of this book that it can be, so any criticism is actually encouraged. Schedule wise It's up to the response I get from you guys. I'm probably gonna keep writing the book no matter what, but the frequency off chapter releases is dependent on whether or not people like the story. I'm a busy person, so even if the book gets popular there probably won't be a very high frequency of chapter releases. Here's some character knowledge for those of you who like to now what they're getting into. Jaco is a psychopathic genius with narcissistic tendencies. he is Ruthless and does whatever he likes, however, he's not stupid. He happens to be one of the most intelligent people to ever live, and uses it to his advantage. Another reason why he's a narcissist. He likes to hide the fact that he's smart all while learning everything there is to know about his enemies and obstacles. MINOR SPOILER: I plan to have him use Gravity/space based powers and a mace as his main weapon. As you may have guessed from the title, he will be considered a boss enemy by humanity and it's allies. He will also use his fists and martial arts as a way to fight occasionally. He's gonna be massive, a terror on the battlefield, something that a normal party of adventurers will see and think "Here comes a wipe". All said, thanks for checking it out! :) (Cover art isn't mine) contact for removal and all that. It isn't even what I envision the character looking like. If you can draw and feel like doing one for me, please HMU so I can get some badass cover art.

He was abandoned by his parents. The world was lost to chaos. Only a mere billion people live. All are scared that they might be the next meal of a Scavenger. He lost his one friend to people who were suppose to protect them. Betrayed by them, now he only has the 7 year old brother of his friend to remember him by.

This planet is home not only to humans but also to countless other races: beasts, elves, vampires, dwarves, and many more. Beyond these sentient beings, there are animals that have undergone mutations—creatures known as monsters or mutants. When these monsters are killed, they vanish without a trace, leaving behind no bodies, no corpses, and no lingering scent. This mysterious world is called Cronos . At the heart of this tale is a young man named Lucferre Caelum , who dreams of bringing peace to Cronos—a world where monsters no longer terrorize humanity, where people can travel freely without fear, and where life unfolds in harmony. Unlike most, Lucferre possesses an extraordinary ability: he can see the dark mist enveloping the monsters. However, when he tries to share this truth, no one believes him—not even his childhood friend, who outright denies his claims. By the age of sixteen, Lucferre had already joined the military. By twenty-three, he rose to become a first-class squadron leader—an elite soldier with the rank of Major. His journey takes a dramatic turn when he is tasked with escorting the Prime Minister to the city of Nubesturrim . What was supposed to be a simple mission quickly spirals into disaster when a colossal dragon-like creature appears, throwing everything into chaos. Lucferre loses consciousness during the ordeal and awakens in a wooden hut deep within an uncharted forest. It is here that Lucferre learns the horrifying truth: all of this destruction is the work of Demons . Determined to restore balance, he resolves to eliminate the Demons plaguing various regions, weakening their influence before confronting the strongest Demon of them all. Along the way, Lucferre meets new allies who reignite his hope, proving that his dream of peace is no longer just a distant fantasy. “I will help you,” one ally declares. “I will stand by your side until the end of our days.” Throughout his journey, Lucferre receives guidance from Goddesses and Angels alike. Even his childhood friend joins him as a trusted comrade, shouting, “Count me in—I’m fighting alongside you!” There is also someone who has waited for him for centuries: “Since the day you were born, I have been by your side. From afar, I watched you grow day by day, week by week, year by year… until the moment you fell from the skies…” But Lucferre’s path is far from easy. As he battles the forces of darkness, he faces betrayal from unexpected quarters. A false deity accuses the real Goddesses, sneering, “She is nothing but a Demon, just like the man standing before you. Why risk your lives for her? Kill her before it’s too late.” When Lucferre demands to know who this voice belongs to, it answers with chilling pride: “…I am God.” Among the challenges Lucferre must face is a monstrous foe he encounters early in his journey—a creature so powerful that he knows he will have to confront it again in the future. Betrayal cuts deep, shaking Lucferre to his core. “…Why did you succumb to the darkness?” he cries out. “Why didn’t you fight back before it was too late?” Yet, despite the betrayals and hardships, Lucferre refuses to give up. He presses forward, driven by his unwavering determination to achieve his dream. The future, once foreseen by the Goddesses, has now become unpredictable. Lucferre must forge his own path, guided by his instincts and the prophecy that whispers of what he might accomplish if he succeeds. His ultimate goal remains unchanged: to create a peaceful world, free from the shadow of Demons.
