A Dynasty in the Shadows

Zehn07
Heir, assassin, and empire — all wearing the same face. Seventeen-year-old Ethan Osborne should be mourning his father. Instead he wakes up sharing a body with Kael — a dead, elite operative who remembers every secret, every tactic, every way to make an enemy disappear. With a ghost in his head and a corporate empire at his feet, Ethan turns grief into a weapon: quiet, surgical, and utterly relentless. This is corporate warfare turned cinematic. Boardrooms become battlefields, financial ledgers hide murder plots, and a shadowy consortium will learn the hard way that killing a man doesn't kill his legacy. Elena — a fierce guardian with a promise to keep — watches his cold rise to power. Lena — the brilliant, beautiful daughter of the people who pulled the trigger — sits in his classroom and in his crosshairs. Loyalties blur. Hearts complicate plans. The line between monster and savior gets thinner every chapter. If you want high-stakes revenge, slow-burning romance with the villain’s daughter, tactical set pieces that read like action movies, and a protagonist who’s both haunted and completely terrifying — open the book. The game is already afoot, and Ethan’s only rule is: make them bleed where it hurts most. Author's Note: Hey everyone! Thanks so much for sticking with me on this journey. This is my first time writing a novel, and let me tell you, it's a wild ride. I'm trying to figure out how to make these characters feel real and the plot twists hit just right without getting too tangled up. It's like building with LEGOs, but the instructions are in a language I don't quite understand yet. I'm trying to avoid those boring chapters where I just sit down and explain who everyone is. Who wants to read a character bio when you can watch a bad guy get taken down, right? So, I'll be dropping little clues and details about our characters along the way to keep things interesting. If you have any thoughts on what's working or what's a bit fuzzy, let me know in the comments! Seriously, every bit of feedback helps. I'm hoping to make this a long, epic adventure, but I can't do it without you all. Now, let’s get back to the shadows.

My Goblin System : Levelling up with my SSS Class Devouring skill

40k word counts before lock Satou, an ordinary guy from modern-day Japan, suddenly dies in a freak accident, he expects to find himself in the afterlife—or maybe even reincarnated as a hero in a fantasy world, complete with flashy powers and a harem of admirers. But fate has other plans. Thanks to a pair of forgetful gods who accidentally left him stranded in the reincarnation stream, Satou is reborn as the weakest creature imaginable: a baby goblin. Now, trapped in a tiny, green body with stubby arms and a voice that only produces gibberish, Satou must navigate a harsh and unforgiving world where goblins are nothing more than cannon fodder. To make matters worse, he’s surrounded by other baby goblins who see him as their personal chew toy and an old goblin elder who believes he’s the key to an ancient prophecy. Oh, and there’s also the looming threat of something called the “special selection,” which sounds about as fun as a death match. But all hope isn’t lost. Satou discovers he’s been gifted with a unique and overpowered skill: Devouring. By consuming the flesh of other creatures, he can absorb their skills, abilities, and even their memories. The catch? He’s a baby goblin with no teeth, no strength, and no idea how to survive in a world where everything wants to kill him. With the help of his snarky system assistant, Sys, Satou must grow stronger, outsmart his enemies, and defy the odds to prove that even a goblin can rise to greatness. From clumsy baby goblin to potential goblin god, Satou’s journey is filled with humor, danger, and unexpected twists. Will he survive the trials ahead and carve out a place for himself in this brutal world? Or will he end up as just another footnote in the history of goblin-kind?

My Tribrid System: More than a Monster

{69K words before locked] Fifty years ago, a shower of meteors descended from the skies. With them came a strange, colorful mist that wiped out ten percent of humanity and changed the world forever. Ten years later, the real nightmare began. From beyond the stars came the Abberants — massive, intelligent, ape-like creatures standing over nine meters tall. Stronger, faster, technologically superior, they declared themselves the rightful rulers of Earth and plunged humanity into a war it never asked for. On the brink of extinction, humanity survived only because of one miracle. Meta-Humans. Humans who awakened extraordinary abilities and pushed the Abberants back. Some shared their powers to protect mankind. Others hoarded them, turning strength into bloodline privilege. Ray Dawson was never one of them. At least, not at first. Just a boy with an ordinary life, working in secret to save enough money to buy an ability book and change his fate — without his mother ever knowing. The day his dream was supposed to come true, everything was taken from him. An Abberant attack left Ray with nothing but rage, grief, and a shattered future. Sent to a brutal survival camp meant to forge soldiers, Ray’s life should have ended quietly like countless others. Instead, an accident changed everything. ... [Searching...] [Search Complete] [Ding! Trial completed] [All forms of pained endured by specimen.] [Soul and body compatible with the system] [Congratulations Host! You have successfully awakened the Tribrid System] ... Ray awakens The Tribrid System — a system that does not grant him a single power, but awakens three sentient existences within him, each tied to a different bloodline, each with its own will… and its own strength; Trying to takeover and make him a monster. As Ray fights, grows stronger, levels up, and evolves, he begins to merge these other selves into one body — unlocking power far beyond ordinary Meta-Humans. But the Abberants are only the beginning. Hidden truths, internal human conflicts, and enemies far worse than beasts await beyond the battlefield. This is the story of a boy who lost everything — and chose to become the weapon humanity needs. Will Ray survive the external and internal war raging? Find out more in this book; Evolution. Survival. Ascension. Follow Ray Dawson as he rises through the Vanguard, forms his squad, and walks the path toward becoming something the Abberants and even the world never accounted for. __ The Discord Server for the book has been created.
