If You Like Lee Child

Jayden Omari has spent his entire life in the shadows—of poverty, of rejection, of a name he never knew was his. As the poorest student at an elite private school, he’s mocked by classmates, abandoned by the girl he loved, and dismissed as just another nobody from the slums of Nairobi. But fate has a secret. When a mysterious letter leads him to a mansion in the heart of Karen, Jayden discovers a shocking truth: he is the only son of Richard Lexington, one of Africa’s wealthiest and most feared billionaires. Overnight, his world flips. Money, power, and legacy are suddenly within reach. But Jayden doesn’t want the spotlight. He doesn’t want to lose the few friends who loved him before the fame. So he creates a second identity—secretly using his wealth to help others, all while pretending to be the same broke boy from Kibera. As his former girlfriend tries to return and old enemies emerge from the shadows, Jayden must navigate a double life of lies, love, and loyalty. How long can he hide the truth? And when the masks fall… will he lose everything? The Billionaire’s Child is a gripping, emotional journey of heartbreak, power, revenge, and redemption—a modern coming-of-age story set in the heart of Nairobi, where wealth can build empires, but only truth can build a life.

For Arata Itsuki, life is a movie where he's just a background character. His mission is simple: be invisible, graduate peacefully, and never get involved in the drama of the main characters. He is a master observer, and his primary subject is Aizawa Nanami—the goddess of perfection, the school idol whose life seems flawless. Their worlds were never meant to intersect, save for one anomaly: the cold hatred Aizawa Nanami always directs at him, a mystery too exhausting for Arata to solve. But his gray routine is shattered when he witnesses the tragedy that takes Nanami's life right before his eyes. That horror should have been the end of an ordinary day, but for Arata, it was just the beginning. He wakes up on the same day. Again, and again. Trapped in a prison of time, Arata soon realizes the only rule in this loop of fate: the day resets every time Aizawa Nanami meets a tragic end. Arata, the apathetic background character, is now forced to be the hero in a story that isn't his. The problem is, how do you save someone who wants nothing to do with you? Someone whose gaze could freeze your blood? With each repetition, Arata begins to see the cracks behind Nanami's perfect mask. He soon understands that the accident was no coincidence, but the climax of an unseen suffering hidden behind the goddess's smile. To break the cycle, Arata must become not only her protector, but also a detective, unraveling a past trauma that is the root of Nanami's hatred for him. Faced with a repeating destiny, Arata must find the answer to an impossible question: IF I DIE TOMORROW, WILL YOU CRY TODAY?

Two girls who love each other, would that be easy?

Two brothers. One destiny. A world that won’t survive them both. Born under a fractured moon, twin brothers Aelric and Kaien were destined to change the world—or destroy it. Aelric, the child of light, was raised to become the savior of the realm—blessed by the Celestials and trained to wield the sword of divine judgment. Kaien, his twin, was cast aside… branded the Child of Ruin before he could even speak. Raised in the shadows by exiled warriors and ancient curses, his soul festers with the power of something long forgotten—something the gods once feared. But fate is never that simple. As kingdoms crumble and forbidden powers awaken, the twins are pulled into a war they didn’t start—but were born to end. And when blood is shed between brothers, will the light truly save the world… or will the darkness rewrite its fate?

In a world ruled by power, bloodlines, and ruthless hierarchy, a half-demon prince cast aside by his own family rises from exile. Branded as weak and unworthy, he forges a new path among outcasts, monsters, and misfits—building a kingdom not through fear, but through loyalty, strength, and unshakable resolve. As tensions rise and old empires prepare for war, he must unify a powerful group of fierce, extraordinary women—each with her own scars, secrets, and desire—to challenge the world that rejected them. What begins as survival becomes revolution. And the prince once forgotten may become something far more dangerous than a king.

Across the fractured solar system, whispers of rebellion stir. As Solara is drawn into a conflict older than she understands, she must discover what it means to belong in a world that forgot how to begin again. A cinematic sci-fi novella about legacy and the price of perfection. Solara's existence is an error the system cannot erase.

I will erase you. Not for the world. But for me... So I don’t have to remember— The thing I chose to raise. O Great Emperor... May your name be forgotten forever. ---- Author's Note: Hello everyone!

An eight year old comes face to face with a world wide apocalypse, watch how he survives after being forced to kill his own mother who was turned into a monster, and looking at his only true friend die in front of his eyes, the journey of an eight year old to survive the apocalypse

-- IMPORTANT NOTE!! As of April 2025, the author has given her (yes, she's a woman) life to God. She renounces any expressions documented in this novel. All humans are children of God, and although some may be gifted, it makes them no less or more important than another. Matthew 6:33 (KJV) But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Only God knows the future. Read the Bible. Pray. The end of times are here. -- The future of mankind rests in Noe's hands. Having faced brutal bullying throughout his life, Noe is sent to a boarding school where his luck takes a sudden turn for the fantastical. Planet Earth, 2075. Humanity is hanging by a thread after World War Three rendered the globe inhabitable. With the introduction of angels, demons and realms unknown, will Noe play a hand in saving humanity or let the humans that mistreated him burn beneath his flames? To destroy the World or save it? That is the question. Excerpt: Like a demon of destruction, Noe snaps. His vision blurs and dissipates, scattered like glass beads across cement. When he comes to, he is no longer watching the scene but is at its epicenter, soaking in a pool of purple blood, maroon cadavers strewn across the ground. Every centimeter of the hall is covered in gore - except for Mr. Henderson, whose eyes, wide-blown in astonishment... and horror, are captivated by Noe's neck. Looking down at himself, Noe sees thousands of black feathers have sprouted out from his own flesh. They tingle at the root and shudder as he breathes, as if leaves clinging to a tree in winter. Blood coats his every morsel. Springing his now grey fingertips onto his neck, Noe perceives what feels like the head of a purple hyacinth wrapped around it, its ribbon-like strands interlocking and jetting as if growing from his voice box. Touching his face, porcelain-smooth, painted by blood, marble skin appears unbreakable. It was all for first love. —- Discord: SEP1A#9769 Cover Art: raazu692 | Fiverr

Project to Monster — Where children are turned into killers. PTM is not a school. It’s not a training camp. It’s a secret military project that kidnaps orphans and street kids… then crushes their humanity. No mercy. No second chances. Forced to fight. Tortured. Burned. Only the strongest survive. The rest? Forgotten bodies rotting in silence. But one child refuses to break. Alexander Viero — six years old, emotionless, deadly. He kills without hesitation. He survives without fear. But in a place like PTM, survival is never enough. Behind every trial… there’s manipulation. Behind every ally… there’s betrayal. And behind Alexander’s cold eyes… lies something even the monsters fear. Because in PTM… it’s not about who lives. It’s about who dominates.

Born in chains. Bound by wrath. Crowned by pride. Terra is a world torn by blood and ruled by power—fifteen times the size of Earth, its lands are carved into colossal continents. Each is dominated by a different race: elves in their emerald sanctuaries, vampires cloaked in moonlight, giants whose steps shatter valleys, and dwarves digging into secrets they were never meant to find. Nine seas divide the land. Seven moons watch from above. And a cursed, blue-burning sun blinds those who dare stare too long. Beneath them all—beneath the world itself—lies a race forgotten by history but forged from divine blood: **The Beastborn.** Once revered. Now shackled. **Azreal Morningstar** is one of them. A slave. A beast. A man who refuses to kneel. He does not seek peace. He doesn’t crave justice. He wants *freedom*—not granted, but taken. Not as a gift, but as vengeance. And when the lost throne of Solomon stirs once more, Azreal won’t chase prophecy. He’ll ignite rebellion. **This isn’t the tale of a hero.** It’s the rise of a warborn king— One forged in chains, rising to burn the ones that bound him.

A collection of old journals for a child that was never born, and still has yet to be.

A horror story that I created as I got inspired by a tragic kidn*pping and murd*r

Grey was a nobody, a poor crippled orphan growing up in the outskirts of the city. He was worth nothing. He was nothing. Until he became one of the Chosen - an elite group of people gifted with supernatural abilities, he is transformed to a place known "The Rift Realm" and is forced to fight terrifying abominations and sometimes other Chose. What's worse, his Authority happened to come with a small, but potentially fatal cost, his freedom.

Yuno is an unlucky part-timer working in a convenience store for Espers and Guides. That means they sell stuff that makes their store look like an adult shop. During his shift, the highest-grade aphrodisiac they have was stolen. He chased the thief, determined to retrieve the stolen Item from their store. But, much to Yuno's annoyance, he found himself in a dangerous situation with Ki Gayoon— the infamous Esper on the verge of a Rampage. How does the saying go again? 'The way to an Esper's heart is through his d*ck.' Is Yuno supposed to, uhm, do "it" to calm Ki Gayoon before he snaps and kills them both? #guide #esper #guideverse

In a savage, ancient forest where shadows bite and mercy is a myth, a child is born from nowhere—four-armed, one-eyed, with a glowing glyph etched on its back. This brutal wilderness, alive with predators like the crimson-furred Olf and venomous Spiteacks, offers no warmth, only hunger and fear. Guided by instinct and nourished by strange rains, the child claws for survival, their jade-green eye tracing spiral carvings that whisper secrets older than the trees. Each step is a battle—against gnawing starvation, tearing thorns, and beasts that smell weakness. As the child’s defiance grows, so does their strangeness, fangs sprouting, rage kindling, yet the forest watches, unyielding, ready to devour anything that dares to burn too bright

In a distant, vast, and imaginary universe where the laws of physics twist like threads of magic, intergalactic empires clash in bloody wars, while small, hidden kingdoms dwell in shadows, immune to fear and ancient mystery. At the heart of the unknown lies a perfect planet, concealed from the universe’s gaze an medieval world of hidden magic and secrets buried deep in the earth. There, amidst towering mountains and endless nebulae, a quiet yet powerful tale unfolds, led by a solitary shadow above all, pulling the strings of fate unseen. The story is a little bizarre, but as you progress you can understand it more.

Ava Winters has one goal: survive college, graduate with honors, and pull her mother out of debt. Balancing two part-time jobs, a scholarship, and a mountain of responsibilities, Ava doesn’t have time for drama especially not the kind that wears designer suits and carries a name like Julian Blackwood. Julian, heir to the Blackwood empire and he is arrogant, calculated, and completely untouchable. But when a scandal threatens his family’s reputation, he needs a girl who looks nothing like his usual arm candy. Someone smart, grounded... and desperate enough to play along. Their worlds collide after a fiery first meeting and a very public “accident.” What starts as a fake arrangement, date to a gala, a carefully staged photo, a fabricated story, quickly spirals into something neither of them expected. Because the more Julian tries to use Ava to fix his image, the more he finds himself captivated by her resilience. And the more Ava tries to guard her heart, the more Julian threatens to break down every wall she’s built. But secrets don’t stay buried, and emotions have a way of turning fiction into something dangerously real. In a world where status is everything and trust is a luxury, can two people from opposite sides of life find something real in a relationship that was never supposed to be?

Y/N’s world shatters when she crosses paths with .........she thought he was dead—now a ruthless mafia boss with no memory of her.

Determined to uncover the truth, Y/N must navigate the dangerous world he inhabits to reclaim the man she once loved.
