“Who is the football GOAT?” A question that has been asked countless times in the last decade. Is it Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi? To be fair, the question actually depended on what one wanted from a player as they were two different people and they played differently from the other. This was also the case with every other legendary player to grace the game. As a diehard fan of the game, Jason Bolu also had someone he thought to be the goat, but unlike most people, he harbored the desire to not only become as great as them, but even greater than any legend that ever graced the game. He wanted to become the Greatest Of All Legends… the GOAL. Unfortunately, fate has never cared about people’s hopes and dreams, and just like every other unfortunate human, she hit him hard across the face with a broken reality and sent him flying in another direction from his goal, yet he didn’t give up and continually persevered but, in the end, he didn’t ever make it. He wasn’t even halfway near his goal. He thought it was over… but it wasn’t. He got another chance at his dreams, and this time he was going to do more than his best to achieve his dream. *disclaimer* There is no system or cheats, just plain hard work and a past life of experience.. Also, despite the use of real-life characters, places and things, this is an artistic creation in which things wouldn't be as they are in real life so don't be surprised at some things that are unrealistic and out of place e.g. exact details, attitude of characters etc. This is a slow-paced novel.

Get rich. Build the Harem.

Three years ago, the world was swallowed by darkness. Every power grid failed. Phones lost signal. Not a single source of light remained across the planet. At the time, many believed the apocalypse had arrived. The darkness lasted for three full days before finally receding. Since then, anyone over the age of sixteen can be randomly selected and forcibly pulled into another world— The Horror Instance World. Those chosen are called Travelers by the system itself—people who traverse the horror instances. The only way for a Traveler to return alive is to complete the assigned instance mission. Instances are ranked from lowest to highest as F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS—nine levels in total. Complete a mission, and you’ll be rewarded. Some receive ghost-infused artifacts. Some have parts of their bodies transformed into ghostly weapons. Some gain control over an actual ghost, learning to harness it through various methods. Others awaken supernatural abilities. The rewards are tempting. That is—if you survive.

いつも一人で (Itsumo hitori de - Always Alone) Series Description RATED: MA18+ | 12 Episodes | Supernatural Tragedy In a Tokyo drowning beneath endless rain, two souls exist in parallel hells separated by death itself. Seishin Hōrō-sha dies at fifteen—broken, abandoned, worthless. A truck crushes him on rain-slicked streets after years of bullying, family betrayal, and abuse. Death brings no peace. Ancient folklore condemns him: souls without purpose cannot ascend. Trapped as a wandering spirit, invisible and voiceless, Seishin watches his mother die, his siblings—Daiki, Hana, Kaito, Yukimira, Mei-Suke, Rikunuke, Sorana—scatter into crime and forgetting. None mourn him. The promises they made as children mean nothing now. For two years he drifts, purposeless, fading. Then he sees Ritchi Utsu. Five years old. Wealthy. Suffering behind closed doors in ways that mirror Seishin's own hell. "Independence training" that's systematic torture. Parents demanding perfection, punishing with cruelty. A life of isolation and psychological destruction masked by privilege. Seishin recognizes himself. Feels purpose for the first time since death. For ten years he watches, unable to intervene as Ritchi endures beatings, assault, suicide attempts. A ghost bearing witness to suffering he cannot prevent—until rain changes everything. During storms, barriers thin. Seishin manifests briefly, leaving messages in fog, reaching Ritchi for seconds that prove he's not alone. Their connection deepens. Seishin becomes the invisible guardian, the one constant. But spirits fade. His time is ending. The final year brings violence and desperate choices. Ritchi must survive without his ghost. During one last storm, Ritchi sees Seishin's face, remembers the teenager who walked into traffic ten years ago, recognizes their intertwined fates. Their goodbye transcends death itself. "The rain remembers everything we try to forget."

In the sprawling, neon-drenched metropolis of Onyx Prime, Social Value (SV) isn't just currency – it's life itself. Born a "Null" with an SV of 0.1, Kaelen was destined for deletion, an invisible ghost in a world ruled by god-like "Sovereigns." But when fate throws him a discarded data shard, he awakens the SSS-Rank Void Architect System. ​Now, Kaelen sees the world's code, not its laws. He can Extract anything: the wealth of arrogant Elites, the skills of powerful mercenaries, even the very life-force of his enemies. With a sister to save and a burning desire for justice, Kaelen begins a ruthless ascent from the gutters to the clouds, exposing the dark truth behind Onyx Prime's flawless system. ​But the system has administrators – beings of pure code who view him as a fatal "glitch." As Kaelen's power grows, he must outsmart the Architects of his reality, or become just another deleted variable. He was a zero. Now, he's the ultimate bug, ready to crash the world.

Astral Pathmaker follows Kairo Nox, a broke nobody who awakens a rare Astral-leaning Veil Law after a near-death chase in the city’s underbelly. His gift, Northbind, doesn’t make him stronger in a fight, it makes him indispensable: he can guide people through “safe paths” hidden inside timing, pressure, and choice. Pulled into the Veil world behind the public lie of “miracle longevity medicine,” Kairo is forced to lay low under the protection of a cold clinician, Varrik Sain, while officials and corporate Families quietly hunt for guides to stabilize a newly opened corridor into the Dark Reaches, a place where Veil beasts and lost pocket-spaces still exist. His only real ally is Selene Pryce, a quiet, elegant, dangerous girl on the edge of awakening a Silence Law, whose presence can hide what the Veil would otherwise expose. When conscription drags them into a low-level team that underestimates them, Kairo and Selene survive by being boring on paper and lethal in execution. But behind everyone’s eyes, they steal the true cause of the corridor’s chaos: a Fixed Star Fragment, a treasure that can anchor pocket-space, reshape routes, and change who gets to live long enough to matter. Now, hunted by demand, watched by officials, and circling the power of Families they can’t afford to offend, Kairo must keep growing from Spark to Thread and beyond while building a circle of companions who trust his lead. Because in the Veil world, the safest path isn’t found. It’s made.

Kalypso "Kali" Brunn was searching. He was trying to find someone he once knew well, someone he'd lost without even realizing. Kali needed the man who could wholeheartedly love himself and the company of others yet live happily, even alone. That someone wouldn't need another leading their life, completely shaping every thought he had, each action he performed, and the emotions he'd felt. He simply had to see that man's lost smile once more, a smile so true and pure, and he believed the Black Manor was the best place to look. It was the perfect home for Kali to find himself again. A peaceful, private, and honest(deceptively so) abode for him to relax and heal in. It seemingly had the most perfect conditions. The only downside of the new arrangement would be that he's yet to shake off his loneliness. He's determined to get along with his new housemates, but it's proven to be hard, especially as half of them blatantly ignore him and the other half downright hate his mere presence. But who's to say the future won't change? Perhaps his clumsy, self-deprecating ways will finally garner him some much-needed attention. Maybe they'll see just how much he needs someone to stand by him, even if he happens to claim otherwise for pride's sake... Or suppose they could continue to ignore him until he stays forever stuck in his regrettable past. Kali doesn't want to think about the 'scumbag' he ran away from or the friends that hurt him. They didn't deserve his tears any more than he deserved the emotional turmoil he'd suffered through.

Everyone thinks he's trash. His wife despises him. Her powerful family treats him like a joke. But when he awakens with the "Plot Armor Stealer System," everything changes. Now, every time he humiliates a so-called protagonist, he steals their luck, talent, and destiny. In a city ruled by ancient clans and modern power, he’ll rise from the shadows—not as a hero, but as the mastermind who rewrites fate itself. This time, he won’t just survive the story—he will steal it.

Every villain is scripted to die. Kael Voss was the hero who always won—until death flipped the board. He wakes in the body of the first boss he ever killed: a shadow lord doomed to fall in chapter one, forgotten fodder for the chosen one. No more playing nice. With perfect game knowledge and the forbidden Shadow Sovereign System, Kael turns the script inside out. The “hero” who slaughtered him? Now prey. The gods who wrote his fate? Blind to the rewrite. He schemes from the dark, grows stronger in silence, and carves his own ending. The light thinks it’s destined to win. Kael knows better. One shadow against the entire story. This time, the villain finishes what he started. (Drop a power stone if you want the villain to win big!)

Kael Dravhen is nobody special. Twenty-four years old. A dead-end archive job. A small apartment. A mother who died three years ago under circumstances that never quite added up. Then a bleeding stranger knocks on his door at 2 AM, and the world he thought he knew peels back like a mask. Underneath it: the Veil. A hidden layer of reality woven into every city, every shadow, every place where tragedy has soaked into the walls. Monsters that wear human faces. Secret organizations that have been pulling history's strings for centuries. And a power system called Soul Alchemy, where the right kind of suffering can transform an ordinary person into something the world has no name for yet. Kael is not ordinary. He just did not know it. His soul carries the fractured memories of a dead man, a Sovereign-level warrior killed thirty-eight years ago by the very organization now hunting Kael. His mother spent his entire life hiding him from what he was. She ran out of time before she could explain why. Now three factions want him dead, one wants him as a weapon, and the truth about his mother's death is buried somewhere inside all of it. He is not ready. It does not matter.

Shu Kagami is the kind of person who spends lunch watching anime alone and goes home to edit videos for half a million people who have no idea who he is. He transferred to a new school and the plan was simple, stay quiet, invisible and don't get involved. Then the school decided to pair every second-year student with a random partner and make them live together for three years, graded on how well they function as a couple. His partner is Kirazawa Nimu. She's the most popular girl in their grade. she already told her friends she'd transfer schools if she got stuck with him, and she said it while he was sitting three desks away. Neither of them wanted this. That part is mutual. What's not so mutual is everything that comes after, cooking together badly, sharing walls that are way too thin, an AI meter on their living room wall that tracks every time they're actually nice to each other, and a routine that stops feeling like a strategy somewhere around the third week. Shu isn't trying to fall for anyone. Nimu definitely isn't falling for him but their point score just keeps going up anyway. join the discord: https://discord.gg/TzcTwjRvtF

Arjun Verma was a Level 1 Wireman. Then he died. In the chaotic, rusty underbelly of India’s infrastructure, "Jugaad" (improvisation) is King and Safety is a joke. Arjun was just another invisible laborer following orders—until a 440-Volt shock stopped his heart. He didn't wake up in heaven. He woke up with a Blue Interface floating in his vision. [SYSTEM INITIALIZED: THE ENGINEER] [OBJECTIVE: REWIRE THE NATION] Now, Arjun sees the world differently. Where others see a flickering light, he sees a Harmonic Distortion. Where others see a leaking pipe, he sees a fluid dynamics equation. Where others see a corrupt builder, he sees a Financial Liability. Armed with the [Electric Eye], [Blueprint Creation], and the absolute authority of "The Code" (Engineering Standards), Arjun declares war on the incompetence that plagues the system. But he cannot build a nation alone. He recruits a party of misfits: * Zoya Khan (The Auditor): A lawyer who weaponizes the Electricity Act and Tax Code to bankrupt corrupt contractors. * Bhairav Singh (The Titan): A heavy mechanic who solves problems that physics cannot—usually with a 36-inch wrench. Together, they form "Bharat Nirman" (India Construction). From fixing a tripped breaker in a luxury high-rise to fighting the Water Tanker Mafia in the slums; from converting sewage into Biogas Gold to turning a dying river into a Smart Grid—Arjun is climbing the ladder. His enemies? The Land Mafia, the Inverter Lobby, corrupt bureaucrats, and the Old Grid itself. They have money, muscle, and politics. Arjun has the System. And in this game, Physics always wins. Current Arc Status: * Book 1: The Current (Completed) - Origin & Team Building. * Book 2: The Grid (Completed) - Water Mafia & Smart Sensors. * Book 3: The Waste (Completed) - Sewage-to-Energy & High-Rise Retrofit. * Book 4: The Slum (In Progress) - Decentralized Solar & The War against Monopolies.

[The RETURNER FANTASY system has been granted to you in response to your dying wish] [Initiating regression in 3... 2... 1...] That was the voice Jeff heard in the final moments of his life—just before death claimed him. Or at least, that's how he remembers it, now that he's woken up twelve years in the past. Back to the moment when he still had a chance to change everything he thought had gone wrong. Forget the incurable disease. Forget the mystery of how he regressed. Forget even the holographic screen flashing in the corner of his vision. What matters now is the quest he's on—and the girl he's running toward. She had stayed by his side even when he had nothing. She forgave him for the foolishness that had torn them apart. She was there in his final moments, when regret overwhelmed him for never telling her how he truly felt. This time, he wouldn't make the same mistake. This time, he'd protect her—no matter what. Even if it cost him his life… or someone else's. [Warning: Contains Mature, Sexual, and Violence content.] This book will have a lot of mature and sexual content. But those will not be the main focus of story. This book will show the main character trying his best to redeem himself from his failures and regrets. --- Disclaimer – The image used for the new book cover is not mine, nor are the new concept designs for the characters.

Aryan was the "Golden Boy" of the Indian tech scene—until the people he trusted most cut his throat. In a sterile boardroom in Mumbai, his best friend and his lead investor didn't just fire him; they stripped him of his dignity, his shares, and his life’s work. As his heart failed under the crushing weight of their greed, Aryan realized the truth: In the world of modern business, being a "good founder" is just another way of saying you're a "good lamb." But the universe isn't finished with him. Aryan wakes up ten years in the past, back in 2016. He’s broke, he’s in a tiny apartment, and he’s holding a cracked laptop. But this time, he isn't alone. A glowing, imperial interface hovers in the air—the [Chakravartin Business System]. The System offers him a path that no MBA could ever teach. It grants him the strategies of the Gupta Empire, the legendary "Golden Age" of India. To win, Aryan must stop playing by the rules of Silicon Valley and start playing by the rules of Emperors. He must hunt down the Ten Gems—the SSR-tier geniuses hidden in the shadows of the corporate world. A disgraced architect of code, a ruthless master of logistics, a legendary keeper of the mint—together, they will form his Imperial Council. But building an empire costs more than money. Aryan is haunted by the memories of his future: the face of the woman he loved who was forced to marry his rival, the family he neglected, and the crushing loneliness of power. Can he build his "Pataliputra" without becoming the very monster who killed him? Every decision is a gamble. Every contract is a battlefield. As Aryan’s influence grows, his enemies from the future begin to notice a "ghost" in the market—a shadow player who knows their every move before they make it. The Paper Kings are gathering their armies. The corporate siege is coming. Will Aryan unite the "Four Quarters" of the market, or is he destined to die in a boardroom once again? Why You Need to Read This: * The "Face-Slapping": Watch arrogant billionaire heirs get dismantled by ancient strategies they don't understand. * The System Mechanics: Recruiting "SSR-Tier" employees and leveling up an entire company like a character in an RPG. * The Emotional Core: A man struggling to fix the mistakes of his past life while trying to survive the cutthroat present. * The Knowledge: Every chapter reveals a secret of the "Gupta Playbook"—real business tactics used by history's greatest rulers.

“What the hell—?!” Arahan jolted awake. This wasn’t his room. This wasn’t his body. Just hours ago, he had been a 30-year-old professor—one of the youngest lecturers in a prestigious college. An orphan who built everything from nothing. At twenty-five, he had already achieved what many couldn’t in a lifetime. A stable career. Respect. Wealth. A wedding with a beautiful bride from a good family. For once, life had finally begun to smile at him. And then, a drunk rich brat speeding his Thar at 220 km/h from the wrong side of the road. A flash of headlights. A scream of metal. Darkness. Arahan died on the roadside like a stray animal. And the worst part? He knew the culprit would never be punished. Money would bury the case. Power would twist the law. Justice was a luxury for the poor. But what hurt even more was not the injustice. It was a regret. He had lived responsibly. Too responsible. He never dated. Never partied. Never had Sex. Never travelled. Never loved recklessly. Never indulged. He chased stability. He chased respect. He chased a “good future.” And died before he could live. A virgin. A man who never tasted freedom. A man who never claimed what he desired. A man who never enjoyed the forbidden pleasure. But fate was not finished with him. When Arahan opened his eyes again— He was back. This time, he won’t live cautiously. This time, he won’t let power crush him. This time, he won’t die powerless. Wealth. Influence. Pleasure. Revenge. In this life, Arahan will claim everything.
