African American Dystopian

The American Tycoon From Mafia to Business Empire

Leo Valentino was once an ordinary U.S. Navy major who narrowly survived the brutal battles of the Pacific Theater during World War II. However, after landing a furious punch on his superior—General MacArthur—he was dishonorably discharged. Once hailed as a war hero, Leo found that in post-war America, glory meant little. Stripped of his honor and resources, he returned to his hometown of Lynchburg with nothing. But no one knew the truth: Leo's soul came from the 21st century. Armed with a sharp understanding of modern economics, mastery of business models and investment strategies, and in-depth knowledge of real estate development trends, he began to forge a new path. After enduring one crisis after another, he entered the real estate market, gradually amassing wealth. With his unique foresight, Leo soon expanded into retail, finance, fast food chains, and entertainment. His rise, however, was anything but smooth. In New York, he crossed paths with ruthless mafia bosses, corrupt politicians, greedy capitalists, and even former comrades. Each carried their own ambitions and shadows in a land brimming with opportunity—and danger. Faced with threats from all directions, Leo was forced to make difficult choices between justice and pragmatism. Navigating both boardrooms and back alleys, he began to build a business empire of his own. From a disgraced veteran to one of the most powerful tycoons of his era, Leo Valentino’s story is more than just a tale of business success—it is an epic saga of survival, intelligence, and ambition.

Mr Blind

*Kelvin Hart* had it all—power, wealth, and influence. As the CEO of multiple multinational companies, his name echoed through every major city. But behind the luxury cars and penthouse offices was a man feared and hated. Cold, arrogant, and merciless, Kelvin saw women as tools and the poor as worthless. He offered no help unless it came with a price—often demanding intimacy from desperate teenage girls before “saving” them. With politicians, police, and the media in his pocket, there was no one to stop him. And the only person he showed affection to—his mother—turned a blind eye to his cruelty and even encouraged it, believing the world owed her son everything. But fate never forgets. When Kelvin impregnates a struggling teenage girl and denies both her and the child, it sets a dark spiral in motion. The girl is thrown into deeper poverty, shunned and shamed. She dies giving birth to a daughter alone in a cold hospital ward. That child, *Hope*, grows up scavenging the streets, unaware of who her father is—only knowing that the world is cruel, and men like Kelvin rule it. Years pass, and Kelvin’s empire begins to crumble. A secret business deal with a foreign cartel goes wrong. His political allies betray him. One by one, his companies collapse. Then tragedy strikes—his beloved mother dies suddenly. Broken by loss, he spirals into alcohol, depression, and isolation. While driving drunk, he crashes into a wall—leaving him blind. Abandoned by friends, bodyguards, and everyone who once praised him, Kelvin is left in silence… until a mysterious maid named *Ella* is hired to care for him. Gentle but firm, she treats him not like a king, but a broken man. Slowly, Kelvin begins to change. He listens. He reflects. He regrets. Then comes the biggest shock—his doctor reveals the impossible: Kelvin can never father a child again due to internal injuries from the accident. His bloodline ends… unless the child he once denied still lives. Haunted by guilt, Kelvin tracks down Hope, now a strong-willed young woman hardened by the streets. When they finally meet, she doesn’t cry or run—she laughs bitterly. *"You? My father? No. You're just a blind man. Mr. Blind."* Hope refuses to accept him, deciding to punish him emotionally and mentally for what he did to her mother. She forces him to experience the same suffering they once faced—poverty, hunger, rejection. But Ella, the maid, sees hope in both of them. She tries to soften Hope’s heart and convince Kelvin he’s not beyond redemption. In the midst of this storm, something unexpected blossoms—*love*. Kelvin starts falling for Ella, who becomes his only peace. And deep down, Hope begins to wonder if forgiveness is possible after all. But time is ticking. Enemies from Kelvin’s past want him dead. His health is deteriorating. His mind is fragile. Now the question remains: *Can Kelvin rebuild his life with Ella and win his daughter’s heart, even as a blind man? Or will he lose everything forever—including himself?* ---

Another Typical S-Class Hunter

Sometimes, the worst part of a nightmare is thinking you woke up. Liana Graves was humanity's last shield. An S-Class Hunter wielding twin axes and impossible strength in a world already lost. She fought on ruins, buried allies, and watched as monsters consumed cities one by one. In the end, she stood alone. Until she woke up. Back in her childhood bedroom. Back to the warmth of her family, the scent of breakfast and a world untouched by monsters. Before the collapse, before chaos, before everything went wrong. It was a miracle. A second chance. And this time, she's not wasting it. Liana rises through the Hunter ranks faster and stronger than before because nothing will stop her from protecting the people she loves. But the more she fights, the more the cracks start to show as the world seems to bend too easily to her will. A battle ends too quickly. A relative miraculously comes back from the dead. We all love a classic S-Class power fantasy. But what if the arc is too perfect? Too easy? What if…the second chance was never real? After all, perception is a powerful thing. ______ Author's Note: This novel includes an African-American female protagonist and a slower-paced, character-focused take on the tower/system genre that isn't commonly found in these types of stories. I hope you enjoy reading and I'd love to hear your thoughts! Also I apologize for the lack of chapters as of late. I currently plan on writing more chapters and mass releasing them each week later on.
