DARK JUSTICE

"The water choked him, the cold seeping into his bones. His mind, usually so sharp, fractured into a thousand desperate thoughts. He saw her face above him, contorted by a primal rage, and in his final, suffocating gasp, he knew. Not just an opponent. A predator. He tried to speak, to beg, to curse, but only a gurgle escaped as darkness claimed him. His last thought, a chilling realization: She was more monster than detective." In the rain-slicked streets of Owerri, I live a double life. By day, I'm Detective Elise Blackwood, bound by the law, navigating a system that often fails the innocent. By night, I become a ghost, a weapon forged by a mother's murder, hunting the powerful Network – the city's corrupt elite who operate above all law. They stole my past; I'm here to tear down their future. Every stolen ledger, every breached server, drags me deeper into their deadly game, transforming me from hunter to the hunted. My knuckles ached, the water cold as ice, as I forced him under. This wasn't just justice. This was survival. And a promise kept. I've walked through fire, made impossible choices, and faced betrayal from every angle. Now, as I close in on their elusive financial architect, Pierce M., the man whose secrets can finally bring their empire crashing down, the true cost of my war reveals itself. The truth about Pierce is far more devastating, far more personal, than any nightmare I could have imagined. My pursuit of dark justice is about to collide with a betrayal that will redefine everything I am.

The fake heiress was sent back to the slums. Her biological father was addicted to alcohol, her biological mother was addicted to gambling, and her biological younger brother dropped out of school at a young age due to an obsession with gaming. Sang Ning brought her whole messed-up family onto a variety show. The real heiress's family showcased a tear-jerking, heartwarming picture, while her family was staging daily dramatic soap operas. On the day before the variety show recording, Sang Ning's biological mom openly flirted with a young male idol. Her younger brother mocked their biological father for being old and unattractive, claiming he deserved to be abandoned. In a fit of rage, her father smashed his brother’s headphones. Brother: "Damn it, I spent a whole month collecting trash to afford these!" And thus, the whole family ended up fighting. When the show officially started recording, Sang Ning's father took the top male star’s father to a villager’s house to freeload some alcohol, drinking to intoxication. Sang Ning's mother dragged a popular idol’s grandmother to a mahjong table, losing even her underwear. Sang Ning's brother pointed at her nose and cursed, "I’d rather jump off a cliff than keep studying!" Later, at Sang Ning’s wedding to a business mogul, the sharp-eyed reporters noticed something unusual about the Sang Family members. Mr. Sang had become an intangible cultural heritage master in woodworking industry. Mrs. Sang had won the championship in the latest Chef Showdown. Wasn’t Sang Ning’s younger brother this year’s provincial science champion?

I AM THE PROTOGANIST

After a tragic accident—Arthur's life comes to an abrupt end. But death is not the end. In a mysterious twist of fate, he awakens in another parallel world… in a body that mirrors his own. Same face. Same name. A parallel universe. But this world is completely different from what he knows. What was meant to be a second chance like in any novel stories, turns into a bitter struggle, for the soul that originally occupied the body is still alive—and he's not willing to surrender. "I won’t give up my body to someone else. I’ve suffered every day of my life, clawed my way through agony and despair—and now you expect me to vanish? Like I never existed?" The voice is filled with fury. "I’ll claim the system. I’ll seize this world. If fate dares to be cruel to me, I’ll return the favor—with no mercy." Two souls. One body. A world that rewards power and punishes weakness. As destiny spirals into chaos, the question becomes clear: Who will reign? The soul who lost everything, or the one who refuses to let go? ------ Author’s Note: Hey everyone! This is my second novel, and I’m incredibly excited to share it with you.
