The Secretary's Shadow

Not my novels or FF. Just some interesting reads I found.

Xu Tian never expected to be abandoned. On a frozen mountain, with nothing but his two newborn children in his arms, he is left behind without explanation. No shelter. No help. No way out. And the beasts are already closing in. The woman he once trusted walks away without looking back, treating their lives as if they never mattered. But Xu Tian doesn’t run. He stays. That night, something begins to change. Not something obvious. Not something he understands. But enough to survive. As the days pass, Xu Tian realizes he is no longer as weak as he once believed. And the two children he protects… may be far from ordinary. This is the story of a man who was left to die- and the two future emperors he will raise from nothing.

Tom carries a wand of yew—and a far more dangerous skill: he knows exactly when to use it. At Hogwarts, duels aren’t decided by power, but by timing. By pressure. By the moment someone hesitates just long enough to lose. Tom doesn’t fight often. He doesn’t need to. He studies. He adjusts. He speaks once—and a room rearranges itself around his words. Students sharpen. Friendships strain. Every mistake starts to feel permanent. And while most of the school learns to survive it— the world falls at his feet. But reacting isn’t enough. Not anymore. Because Tom isn’t trying to win fights. He’s trying to change the game. And by the time anyone understands what he’s built— They’re already part of it.

Kyle broke free. Sadly, punching the leader of a gang of thugs had consequences, and the leader's cronies would beat Kyle to death. But so what?! He didn't regret punching this guy even once! However, a powerful Magic Lady saved Kyle and then did something strange. She offered him a job. Apparently, he would have to go to a different world, a brutal realm where strength was the only law, and become its Overseer. A world where one person could fight thousands of people. A world where gigantic beasts broke mountains. And Kyle? He was just some random guy. He couldn't break mountains. Hell, he could barely fight a single guy, but what was he supposed to do? Reject the offer and get killed? Whether he liked it or not, he had to grow stronger, and while the beginning was tough, he actually found something he really enjoyed. His gigantic hammer. It was exhilarating when beasts exploded into chunks of flesh whenever he struck them. He loved turning boulders into rubble. With his hammer in hand, Kyle would forge a path of destruction through beast hordes and any ancient gods who dare stand in his way. And as his power grew, he became more and more involved in a war between two fundamentally different forces of nature. Join Kyle on his journey to become the Strongest Hammer God! -- Hammer starts at chapter 36 2 chapters every day. Join my Discord: https://discord.gg/EfePH46Aru

This man began as a completely unremarkable defensive midfielder. Then, by chance, he learned a bit about organizing play... then a bit about carrying the ball forward... and then free kicks too. And just like that, the football world got lively. Kaká and Cristiano Ronaldo loved playing with him—handsome, eloquent, and most importantly, the guy who covered their backs so they could focus on attacking up front. Messi had a love-hate relationship with him. Every time he played against Barcelona, he got fired up—and somehow always dragged Messi into playing brotherly football. All number 8s loved playing alongside him—his coverage was everywhere, his pressure resistance was second to none. He was the ultimate shield in front of center-backs, the perfect partner to midfielders, and the strongest wall behind the forwards. Xabi Alonso was his mentor, Mourinho his boss, and Pogba? Just his junior. Whenever a reporter asked him how he got so good, he'd always reply: “Train like hell. Give it everything you’ve got!” Thank you for the support, friends.

As long as you don’t disturb my sleep.”

Absolute power comes at a price: your name, your past, and the insatiable greed of the entire world. They are not heroes. Children robbed of their childhood, erased from their own history, endowed with powers bordering on the divine. They wander, trying to rebuild themselves amid a chaos where myths inexplicably rise again. At the heart of the ruins, an enigmatic being moves forward, proclaiming the end as an inescapable certainty. Between corrupted science, madness, trauma, and a dark mirror held up to humanity, NoName: Fate's Answer promises a story that will not leave us untouched
