The Shadow That Once Was a Detective

SYNOPSIS A detective, known for his steadfastness and sharp instincts, commits a series of grave sins to solve one case that could not be closed by righteous means. He manipulates evidence, allows deaths to occur, and ultimately takes a life with his own hands—all in the name of justice. That decision does not lead him to victory, but to a punishment more cruel than death. He is cursed to become a shadow. Formless, untouchable, invisible, and unrecorded by the world. He can still think and observe, but his existence is no longer acknowledged by the laws of nature or man. The city he once protected moves on, while he is trapped in the spaces between light and darkness, enduring absolute solitude. When the curse drags him into another world—foreign and merciless the detective persists in doing the one thing he knows: investigate. Not for praise, not for redemption, but because it is the only way he can feel he still exists. Every truth he uncovers always ends up nameless, dismissed as coincidence or fate. Over time, he realizes his sins cannot be atoned for, only paid for. When a great threat emerges, endangering many worlds, he is faced with a final choice: to continue existing as a shadow, or to erase himself completely for the sake of saving all those who never knew him. The Shadow That Once Was a Detective is a story about justice without witnesses, sacrifice without recognition, and a man who chose to do the right thing, even if it meant being forgotten forever.

BLVCK WOLVES

A world of magic. A "mage" born without it. And an outrageous f*cking crew. In the Valley Kingdom, where steampunk meets futurism and magic means status, one Guild stands wildly apart: the Black Wolf Knights, or rather—the Black Wolves. Their leader, Greed, carries neither magic nor nobility, only a title he never wanted and a forgotten past. And his crew is as unhinged as they are loyal: A Ghost-mage whose eyepatch hides more than it covers. A powerhouse who hits like a Behemoth and naps like it’s a sport. A vice captain calm enough to fool any con artist. A horned lunatic with zero sense of danger—because she is the danger. A cyborg. A wolfdog the size of a lyconbear. And others just as—if not more—chaotic. The Black Wolves survive on grit, loyalty, and a collection of insanely broken abilities. But when a conspiracy threatens to swallow the Kingdom—and pins the crime on them—they become fugitives in the very nation they swore to protect. Armed with a strange power that defies magic. A crew ready to leap off any cliff with him. And a memory fighting to resurface. Greed, the Black Wolves, and a few allies must face enemies the Kingdom never saw coming. The Valley never believed in them. But they might be their last hope. Expect: - Black Clover meets Final Fantasy meets Gachiakuta meets Vox Machina - OP MC from the start with no magic [NOT ANTI-MAGIC], progressively gets even more OP - Harem relationships in the beginning, moderate fanservice and some sex scenes (hate me), and strong romance subplot towards the end with only one girl - Multiple perspectives from multiple characters - Intricate plot, tons of world building, character building, backstories, and fighting - A long, ongoing story Author's note: This book is only available on Royal Road, Webnovel, Scribble Hub, Inkitt, Wattpad, and featured on Chereads as well for the time being. If you're reading it anywhere else, it is entirely without my permission.

The Minimum Wage Billionaire System

Synopsis (The "Blurb") Mark Vance had $12.50 in his bank account, an eviction notice on his door, and a resume full of rejections. In a world where Hunters and Guilds dominate the economy, Mark was invisible—just another broke laborer trying to survive in the cracks of the city. But on the day he hit rock bottom, the world flickered, and a blue screen appeared before his eyes. [System Booting...] [Welcome to the Wealth Labor System.] [Core Philosophy: The humbler the task, the greater the yield.] Mark thought he was hallucinating until he saw the first mission: > Mission: Recycle 100 Plastic Bottles. > Reward: $10,000. While other "Players" risk their lives fighting dragons for pocket change, Mark is making millions by cleaning grease traps, hauling scrap, and taking out the trash. Suddenly, the man who couldn't afford a sandwich is buying luxury hotels, outbidding Guild Leaders at secret auctions, and turning the city's economy upside down. But immense wealth attracts immense danger. When the most powerful Guilds in the world realize someone is buying up their dungeons and poaching their loot, they come hunting. They think Mark is just a janitor. They don't realize that he can buy their lives, sell their secrets, and demolish their empires—all before his lunch break. Money isn't just power. It's the ultimate weapon. Short Synopsis (For Mobile Preview) Broke and desperate, Mark Vance awakens a System that pays him millions to do the city's dirtiest jobs. While elite Hunters fight monsters for glory, Mark becomes a billionaire by picking up trash. But when the world's strongest Guilds try to crush him, they learn the hard way: never look down on the man who owns the building you're standing in.
