Crime Of Privilege A

After the nuclear war, the world was controlled by twenty mega-corporations that established a global government. Governed by AI, it judged everything. Gao Xin, who had only wished to live a peaceful life, inexplicably became a scapegoat for the elite and, unable to pay the imprisonment fee, was sentenced to ten years of exile on Crime Prison Island! On this island, there were no laws, no constraints, the only order being the numerous game arenas set up by the officials. The criminals could only participate like racehorses for the entertainment of the elite. Yet, on this prison island filled with Radiation, cyborgs, and many powerful villains, Gao Xin had no strength, no talent, and no background—like a sheep thrown into a crocodile pool, no different from being on death row. How could an ordinary person like him survive under the oppression of the strong, the geniuses, and the wicked? Unless in this world, there was a path, a path that allowed even the weakest to continuously break their shackles.

Zephany Draven is a shy, clumsy celebrity journalist who is constantly ridiculed for not getting the big scoops. She is soft-spoken and easily intimidated, so she looks weak. However, behind closed doors, she's Eclipse, an altogether tougher, loud-mouthed agent and quite ruthless and efficient. Kendrick Montclair is a gentle, positive artist who loves his family and remains optimistic despite his struggles. His gentle nature makes him easy to take advantage of. But secretly, he's Obscura, a cold, ruthless agent who is efficient and silent. Both work as partners in a secret organization that preserves hidden truths erased by governments, yet they remain completely unaware of each other's true identities. Their goal is to reach the highest level of clearance to access classified information. But just when they're on the verge of success, they fail. Then, a mysterious man appears with an offer—a contract marriage in exchange for the information they desperately seek. Trapped with no alternative, they sign the deal, having no idea that they just married their secret partner in crime. But neither expected what would happen next. ------------- Kendrick and Zephany sat by the glass wall, waiting for their food when a car suddenly crashed through. Kendrick pulled Zephany to safety just in time, but both got small cuts from the broken glass. "Are you okay?" they asked, checking each other. To their astonishment, the cuts healed before their eyes. Their minds raced. "Beside me, the only person I know who has that ability is." "No! She can't be that loud, short-tempered woman!" "No! He can't be that silent, obnoxious man!" "Did I marry my secret partner in crime?" They both shuddered at the thought.

Money, sex and power. The three things that every man wants, the three things Vincent wants. The world belongs to the most greedy, those who are ready to take anything they want by all means, and those who wouldn't let anyone who wrong them go unpunished. Vincent has lived a very unfulfilling life, until he receives the pain extraction system, a system that allows him to extract pain and turn it into points that he can use to change anything. Now he is going to use this cheat system to fuel his desires and accomplish his goals of becoming the crime boss

In the town of Chandpur, where highways loop like a snake and coal dust settles on rooftops, Inspector Champak "Champu" Shinde accidentally finds himself promoted. He's not a hero—he's just a local cop trying to balance bribes, bureaucracy, old friendships, and the ghosts of his father’s expectations. Between the tea stalls, the crime lords, and his cigarette breaks, Champak becomes the man the town didn’t ask for… but might just need. Local Cop is not about solving crimes—it’s about living with them. It’s about small towns, simple people, and the complicated stories that hide behind locked doors.

In a world where emotion fuels destruction, the greatest threat isn’t what people do—it’s what they don’t. Drive is the volatile energy born from resisting your own instincts. Repressed rage. Swallowed fear. Suppressed guilt. Most people leak it. Others wield it. And when too much builds up, it doesn’t vanish—it festers. The result? Hollows—mindless entities formed from humanity’s buried urges. They haunt the streets, feeding on tension, grief, and silence. At the center of it all is the Core Authority—a broken institution that recruits emotionally unstable teens to contain what adults caused and can't control. Failing is death. Succeeding means losing yourself anyway. In this system, being strong means being unwell—and surviving means never being whole again.

In a war-torn city where hope hangs by a thread, veteran soldier Alex Ashford finds himself caught in a deadly siege that will change the course of his life forever. As artillery rains down and chaos erupts around him, he is forced to confront not only the horrors of combat but also the haunting remnants of a past life—one filled with love, loss, and unfulfilled promises. When an unexpected explosion reveals a hidden path to escape, Alex discovers his soul is tied to a mysterious entity that spans across lifetimes. He is reincarnated into a parallel existence, where he must navigate the ruins of both the battlefield and his own heart. Here, he encounters Elena, a fierce and enigmatic woman fighting for survival, igniting a passionate yet tumultuous romance amid the dark backdrop of war. Together, they must unravel the hidden truths of their intertwined destinies while facing relentless enemies and their own inner demons. As Alex grapples with the memories of his previous life and the weight of his choices, he learns that redemption is not just an option—it is a necessity. In a world echoing with the cries of the fallen, can love transcend time and death, leading them to salvation, or will the horrors of their reality tear them apart once and for all? Join them on an action-packed adventure where every moment is a race against time, and the battle for survival is matched only by the struggle for the heart.

If you’re looking for another cheerful power fantasy where the hero rises, wins hearts, and saves the world with plot armor so thick it could stop a meteor with just a tiny finger then stop this isn’t that story. This is not a tale of hope. This is a tale of Dead. In a decaying multiverse governed by the Samsara of Creation and Destruction, worlds collapse, merge, and bleed into each other. The strong don’t always survive. The kind rarely thrive. And fate… fate is just a prettier word for torment it the synonym of suffering. As forgotten worlds rot and monstrous truths crawl from the void, Nine divine houses tighten their grip on what remains in their hands. The shrines lie. The Seeker System watches. The gates open, not as miracles—but as warnings. Behind each one lies a trial. A silence. A scream. A dead end. If you're tired of pretty lies and want a world that hurts, one that haunts, one that speaks to the part of you that knows not all stories end with salvation— Then step inside. But don't expect to leave whole.

Crime and Punishment is a novel by the Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky. It was first published in the literary journal The Russian Messenger in twelve monthly installments during 1866. It was later published in a single volume. It is the second of Dostoevsky's full-length novels following his return from ten years of exile in Siberia. Crime and Punishment is considered the first great novel of his mature period of writing and is often cited as one of the greatest works of world literature. I don't own any of this work

Does this sound familiar? The author writes a story with an academy setting, gets a DM asking for it to be rewritten, and then wakes up in his story as an extra? Yeah, that’s me right now. And just when I got an offer for it to be turned into a webtoon… Whatever. My MC’s capable, and my story’s pretty generic, so I should be able to coast on by- > SYSTEM: A new plot point has been added to make the story less predictable #$@!$!@#!

Book Blurb for Pretty Privilege Clara Evans has always lived in a world that bends in her favor—coffee is free, cab fares vanish, and strangers trip over themselves just to hold open a door. It’s not luck. It’s not charm. It’s magic—a cosmic force that makes every man swoon, every obstacle vanish, and every moment effortless. She’s the embodiment of pretty privilege made real. But perfection has its price. Beneath the flurry of flattery and the flood of freebies, Clara is drowning in loneliness. No one sees her. Not really. Until she meets Mark Harrison—a dry-witted lawyer who doesn’t so much as flinch at her beauty. He’s immune, skeptical, and maddeningly unaffected. Intrigued by his indifference, Clara does something she’s never done before: she tries. She stumbles. She grows. In a dazzling blend of romantic comedy and magical realism, Pretty Privilege follows Clara’s journey through enchanted brunches, defiant pigeons, emotionally confusing yoga sessions, and some very poorly timed rain. Alongside her sketchbook, a sarcastic best friend, and the one man who truly sees her, Clara must confront the ridiculousness of a world that worships beauty—and what it really means to earn love. Witty, heartfelt, and slyly satirical, this novel is a celebration of imperfect people, messy self-discovery, and the quiet magic of being real. Perfect for fans of The Love Hypothesis and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, it’s a modern fairy tale where true love isn't given—it's chosen.

With each mission, he earns Skill Points, Crime Coins, and Rank Promotions, pushing him closer to ruling the city’s darkest corners. But the higher he climbs, the more dangerous the game becomes. Loyalty is a myth, betrayal is currency, and the system may not be the blessing it first appeared to be…
