She gave up her dream of shining on the ballerina stage —for him. She sacrificed her self-respect —for him. She forgot her true identity —for him. But even after all that, she couldn’t compare to the woman who held Ryan’s heart. Arwen Quinn, heiress of prestigious Quinn family, realized too late that no matter what she did, she would never win Ryan’s love. The future that awaited her was a life trapped in endless misery of a loveless marriage. So, decisively, she ends their relationship and walks away. What she didn’t expect was that in breaking free from Ryan, she had opened the door for Aiden to enter her life — a chance that he had been waiting for. Aiden Winslow, an enigmatic CEO isn’t just mysterious —he is determined, and won’t allow to take Arwen away from him again. ____ Excerpt: Aiden narrowed his eyes, “Are you sure about this?” “If I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t have asked,” Arwen replied coolly. “Stop dawdling. If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else who can get the marriage certificates today.” His expression darkened as he pulled her close. “Once offered to me, it’s mine alone.” Unfazed, Arwen asked, “So, do you accept? If yes, we’ll get the certificates now.” “On one condition,” he said. “I don’t do contract marriages. The woman I marry will be the woman I share my bed with. If you agree, then we’ll—” “Not a problem. Let’s go,” Arwen said without letting him finish, pulling him into the Civil Marriage Bureau.

For years, he knew only stillness. Confined to a body that refused to move, unable to speak or act, his world was reduced to the smallest of motions—a blink, a breath. He had lived on the fringes of existence, watching life pass him by while his dreams withered, unreachable. On modern-day Earth, his broken body had long sentenced him to a life of quiet despair. Then the world changed. When the heavens split and the Cultivation Assist System descended, the rules of reality were rewritten. The Awakening brought power, opportunity, and a spark of hope to every corner of the world. For him, it brought a miracle: the chance to heal. The system mended the broken shell that had confined him for so long, restoring his strength and granting him the body he had always longed for. For the first time in years, he stood, felt the earth beneath his feet, and believed he could rise alongside the world’s new era. But even miracles have limits. While others rushed into the grand Pagodas—the centers of knowledge and cultivation where the strongest paths began—he was denied entry. Barred from the heart of the Awakening, he was forced to endure its trials on the outskirts. Every step forward came harder for him than it did for others. He clawed and fought for scraps of the opportunities others seemed to have handed to them. But he did not stop. Through sheer determination, he began to ascend. Slowly but surely, he carved out his place in the new world, defying the odds and the whispers of those who doubted him. He could see the life he had dreamed of—freedom, power, and the chance to soar—just within reach. But the world was not as kind as he believed. Just as he reached for the heights he had fought so hard to claim, betrayal struck. The knife that ended his life came not from an enemy, but from someone he thought loved him. The warmth of trust turned to the cold sting of death, and in his final moments, as the darkness took him, he wondered how he could have been so blind. But death was not the end. When he awakens again, in a new life and body, the memories of his first remain vivid and sharp. The struggles, the triumphs, and the bitter sting of betrayal—they burn within him, forging a determination that will not be silenced. The Cultivation Assist System is still there, but the rules of his second life are different, and the world he returns to is even more dangerous than before. Ashes to Apex follows the journey of a young man who rose from nothing, fought against impossible odds, and was struck down before he could truly soar. It is a tale of rebirth, ambition, and the unyielding drive to rise beyond the limits of fate. As the embers of his first life ignite a new flame, one question remains: How far can he rise before the ashes of his past threaten to consume him once more?

[WebNovel Rising Star II Entry: Beast Taming Event] Diablo was an apex predator in the world of assassins, a shadow slipping between shadows, executing missions with the precision and detachment of a machine. Rumor painted him as more myth than man, a ghost devoid of warmth or humanity. Whispers said he served no one, lived for no cause, and answered only to the cold allure of coin. That was, until one fateful night. Amidst his most brutal mission that made him entirely lost humanity, he stumbled upon a peculiar sight: a three-headed pup scrounging for scraps in a trash-strewn alley. It looked abandoned, so he took it in as a way to sooth himself for what he had done, assuming it was just a poor creature born with a deformity. But as days passed, Diablo began to notice something strange about the pup—something unsettlingly unnatural. “Well, well. It seems the infamous Diablo has a weakness after all.” “?!” In that instant, they aimed at the dog. Diablo, clinging to his last thread of humanity, sprang to defend the creature—only to fall in the effort and died. But a twist awaited. The pup he’d so valiantly protected was no ordinary dog but a Cerberus, a beast born of the infernal depths. In a flash, it transported Diablo’s soul to the underworld and laid him before Lucifer himself. “Bring back the beasts who have escaped from Hell,” commanded the Lord of Darkness. With that, Diablo was resurrected and given a new purpose.

--- **Glimmers of Oblivion** Aruma Itzel was an ordinary 18-year-old until the day an immense clock appeared in the sky, counting down from 1 hour. In a world consumed by uncertainty, Aruma is randomly chosen for a deadly test: to survive a dimensional dungeon filled with multiple floors, each with its own unique challenges and terrifying creatures. With each floor, Aruma faces increasingly powerful enemies, from swarms of giant insects to frozen beasts and masters of dark arts. As he progresses, he uncovers abilities and strengths he never imagined, relying on his ingenuity and will to endure. The live broadcast of his battles allows the world to watch and comment in real time, giving him the support of strangers and the love of his family, but also the scorn and ridicule of his opponents. Guided by an enigmatic system that rewards him with invaluable skills and items, Aruma explores worlds filled with illusions, powerful creatures, and complex mental challenges. But as he climbs, he realizes that his enemies are not limited to the dungeon itself; other warriors, representatives of different planets and dimensions, also fight to survive, seeing each other as rivals. Amid alliances, betrayals, epic battles, and moments of personal discovery, Aruma learns that in this life-or-death game, true strength is not always found in skill or power, but in the courage to face the unknown and the hope for a future that, though uncertain, still shines before him. Will Aruma overcome the dungeon’s challenges and return home? Or, like so many before him, will he become just another forgotten glimmer in the cruel machinery of an unforgiving game?
