Damn just when I finally find the love of my life, the world decides to end. What’s wrong with you, life? Fuck you're serious, aren’t you?

Gray era apenas um cara normal. Sem poderes. Sem família. Sem futuro. Em um mundo onde força e status decidem tudo, ele estava no fundo do poço. Ele trabalhava duro apenas para sobreviver, cuidando de sua irmã mais nova depois que seus pais se foram. Mas não importava o quanto ele se esforçasse, a vida nunca lhe dava uma chance. E depois de perder seu único emprego, Gray estava pronto para desistir completamente. Então algo estranho aconteceu. Justo quando estava prestes a acabar com sua vida, uma voz desconhecida ecoou em seus ouvidos. [Bem-vindo ao Grande Sistema de Magnata.] E pela primeira vez, Gray tinha um meio de revidar. De fraco e falido, ele subirá ao topo — uma moeda e um trabalho de cada vez. Porque em um mundo onde dinheiro pode comprar poder, Gray está prestes a se tornar o homem mais rico e mais forte vivo.

Pain. That's all I could process at first. Not the "stubbed my toe" kind of pain, but the "someone used my body as a punching bag" variety. Every nerve screamed in protest as consciousness dragged me back from wherever I'd been floating. 'Where the hell am I?' My eyes wouldn't open properly. Everything felt wrong - the air smelled different, tasted metallic on my tongue. The surface beneath me wasn't a hospital bed. Too hard. Too rough. "He's waking up." A woman's voice, soft but strange. Accented in a way I couldn't place. "Finally. Three days is a long time, even for sky-people." Another voice, older, male. 'Sky-people?' I forced my eyes open and immediately wished I hadn't. The woman leaning over me had gray skin. Not sick-gray, but actually gray, like stone. Glowing white tattoos traced patterns across her face and arms, pulsing gently with her heartbeat.

"People always trade something to get what they want—money, blood, lives… and sometimes, their soul." --- At fifteen, Dorian Mordaine was branded a failure. Born into a cursed bloodline and overshadowed by a prodigy brother, he awakened only a worthless ability, a heightened sense for blood. In a world where strength determines worth, that made him nothing and his family disowned him to avoid the shame. Desperate to prove himself, Dorian entered a Rift zone to slay a Beast with his teammates, only to be abandoned and left to bleed to death. "Offer your soul, Dorian Mordaine... and I will give you something far more dangerous than what your kind calls power." He didn’t hesitate, neither did he have a choice, so he agreed. When scientist found him, they thought they’d discovered a test subject for their next weapon, another broken child to be shaped into a tool of war. They were wrong. He became the first to survive and reject every graft, every serum, every Beast core infusion. Discarded again and marked for disposal, as protocol demanded. Now nineteen, Dorian, Subject Zero, awakens an ability never recorded in any system. The pact had paid off. With his cursed ability to control blood, his own and others’, Dorian has one goal: Climb to the top of the Ascension tower, make them all take back their words... and keep to his own side of the deal. -------- The Original Title, was Shortened, due to character limits.

Villain System: Activated > Alignment: Chaotic Evil Objective: Obey the plot, serve the empire, die like a good villain. Yeah, no thanks. I woke up as Dorian Valen—sadistic noble, arsonist, war criminal, mid-tier villain with a face everyone wants to stab. The story wants me to beg for my life, cough up secrets, and die at sunrise so the hero can get a shiny new power-up. Been there, read that. But I'm not here to follow the script. I'm here to flip the table. I’ll expose the cracks in the empire, dismantle the hero’s halo, weaponize every trope, and corrupt the system that tried to cage me. And if I have to burn the world down to do it? Well… I’ve got the villain system. Might as well make it earn its name.

The Vampire And His Bride A dark historical vampire romance — seductive, gothic, and dangerously unforgettable. She was once the Queen of Night. Now she doesn’t remember his kiss—or the child she died to protect. When Lady Lora Evelyn Moreau is abducted from her quiet life and brought to the remote Castle Virel, she’s told she is the long-lost bride of an ancient vampire lord. But Evelyn remembers none of it—not the blood, not the vows, and certainly not the man who now claims to have once ruled the night beside her. Lord Dorian Virel is cold, commanding, and impossibly beautiful. His kiss awakens something in her—something fierce and buried deep. He says she left him, abandoned their love and their daughter to protect them from the Crimson Court, a brutal order of vampire elders who now seek the forbidden child. But Lora isn’t the same woman she was a century ago. She isn’t just a pawn in their immortal games. As forbidden memories return and ancient powers begin to stir in her blood, Lora must decide: Will she surrender to the passion that once consumed her? Or rise as something more—lover, mother, queen? Because the Crimson Court wants a bride. But what they’ll get… is a war.
