Tropes: - Rëvërsë Häräm - Badass Morally-Grey MC - BD$M - System - Revenge - Rebirth - Rich Family Members - Hot Ex-in-laws - Those Green Tea and White Lotus Bitchës - Crazy Best Friend - Gangs - Superpowered - Forced Proximity - Face-Slapping In her first life, Daria idolised her boyfriend, Rain, and ignored the flying red flags flashed in her face, the dubious friendship between her best friend Molly and Rain shoved to the back of her mind because she wasn't going home and couldn't afford to leave. At least, that is what she likes to tell herself. Until she returned from work early, a string of strange news alerts of people attacking each other worldwide forced her sweet boss to send everyone home for the day. Fighting the crowds of others running home, narrowly avoiding what she knew was a Zombie only to find out that Molly had accidentally fallen on top of Rain, repeatedly for months in her bed. Had they so quickly forgotten that this bed was brought with her clean money in her house? Apparently not, and in Daria's grief, she had awoken the power to control lightning and found herself seconds away from "accidentally" killing her snake of a partner. The other end of the snake had snuck up behind her and knocked her out. Now they had her house, locking her in the safe room and removing all the food, water, and exit buttons. When they tried to sell her to a research lab, she managed to blow up her safe room and force the door to open. But when she ran the several long streets towards her mom's hotel, she was turned away at the door by her stepdad, and he watched her get dragged away kicking and screaming, never to be seen again. She survived another year in the research institute, closer to looking like a mental asylum, being injected and subjected to strange tests before it was overrun, and they were left to die. In her second life, she won't be so short-sighted, and her boyfriend, best friend, stepdad and the entire institute will die and become a part of her system horde and her twisted relationship with a fellow patient from her first life will set them on the path of revenge and victory.

WARNING: MATURE CONTENT!Ahmet's laughter was like a slap in the face. "You think you're in a position to negotiate with me?" he sneered. "I don't think so, Asli. You'll do what I say, or suffer the consequences. Do you want more time to outsmart me? No.” She could play his game. She certainly could do that before she finally killed him. A mischievous grin formed on her lips. "What would you gain from sleeping with me?" she asked, trying to keep her tone neutral. "You're not exactly known for your romantic conquests. And we're rivals, not to mention the fact that our families would kill us if they found out." She paused, her eyes narrowing. "So, what's the real motive here? What could you possibly gain from this?" There was a pause on the other end of the line, and for a moment, Asli wondered if she had caught him off guard. But then, Ahmet's smooth voice came back, dripping with confidence. "I’m glad to know you are well-informed about my romantic conquests. Let's just say, Asli, that I have my reasons. And as for what I'd gain… well, that's for me to know and you to find out." His tone sent a shiver down her spine, and she knew she had to tread carefully. She wasn’t going to win this against him. “Show me what proof you have and I will give in to your demands.” With that, she hung up the call, feeling a small sense of satisfaction at being the one to end the conversation this time. She was the only woman in the male-dominated Mafia world. Did he think he could subdue her so easily?

Although being geared after leaving school wouldn't make much for a living. It 'seemed' to be an inevitable path. [Merging System - Unlocked!]

Gangsters: Rise to the Top In a world ruled by gangs and corruption, power is everything. The strong dominate, and the weak are nothing more than pawns in a system designed to crush them. Strength isn’t just a choice—it’s survival. And nothing determines a fighter’s potential more than their AURA. Every awakened human possesses an Aura Color, a force that enhances their speed, strength, and endurance. Among the ten known colors, Yellow Aura is the rarest and most powerful, possessed only by legends. Mriganko Doley (Mri) is one of them. Once the undefeated champion of Dibrugarh Academy, Mri lived for the fight, respected and feared by all. But when a tragic incident left his sister in a coma, everything changed. That day, he made a vow—he would never be weak again. He would destroy the gang system that shattered his life. His path leads him to Jengraimukh Tiniali Academy, a massive institution with 30,000 students, where strength determines everything. The academy is a battlefield ruled by powerful student unions, underground fights, and secret alliances. But what Mri doesn’t know is that the gangs are only the beginning. Lurking behind the chaos is the World Government, a hidden force that controls the world’s most powerful factions. Their enforcers are untouchable, their leaders are unseen, and their influence is absolute. Those who defy them are erased from history. To rise to the top, Mri must fight through gang wars, ruthless assassins, and the academy’s strongest warriors. He will forge powerful alliances, suffer heartbreaking betrayals, and uncover the hidden truth behind the Aura System itself. Gang wars. Power struggles. Secret organizations. A battle against the world’s greatest rulers. To rise to the top, one must first survive the fall.

Just when she thinks life has played a cruel joke on her, a mechanical voice echoes in her mind: [Ding! Money-Spending System Activated!] With each coin she spends, she gains unmatched beauty, intelligence, and influence. The more extravagant her spending, the stronger she becomes. Want peerless charm? Just buy it. Need top-tier combat skills? Swiping gold gets it done. In this world, riches rule—so she’ll become the richest of them all. From a penniless nobody to the goddess of wealth, Bai Zhi’s journey will shake the foundations of the world. Corrupt nobles? She’ll bankrupt them. Arrogant young masters? She’ll buy out their entire clans. Even kings and emperors will bow before her golden empire. Power? Respect? Revenge? All she needs is money. And she has unlimited ways to spend it. Let the world witness the rise of the Billionaire Goddess!
