I'm Trying To Go Broke, So Why Do I Keep Getting Richer?!

Leo had a problem. Don't be like Leo! It wasn't that he was poor. It wasn't that he was unlucky. It was that he had been cursed, or blessed by the Accidental Tycoon System. The rules were deceptively simple. Any money he lost on an investment would be returned to him, doubled. And any money he gained, aside from system reimbursement couldn't be used by him on himself. His life's new mission was crystal clear. He had to go bankrupt. In a high-tech world of S-Rank Heroes, magic, and newly-contacted alien civilizations, this should have been the easiest thing to achieve in the galaxy. He just had to become the biggest, most spectacular loser the universe had ever seen. So, he tried. Oh, how he tried... He threw billions at publishing a dungeon guide written by a 10-year-old. The maps were in crayon, and it listed the final boss as a Big Grumpy Badger. [Breaking: New S-Rank dungeon called 'The Whispering Labyrinth' appears! All high-tech mapping drones fail. A lost F-Rank porter used the crayon guide... and it's 100% accurate. The final boss is a 50-foot divine badger. The Galactic Union has declared the guide a 'holy text' for exploration!] He bought the galaxy's most useless moon, planning to build a 'Museum of Paint'. [Alert: Ancient magical ley-lines discovered under the moon's surface! It's the only place in the universe that can safely grow the 'Star-Lotus,' the key ingredient for immortality!] To the Intergalactic Hero's Guild, the Magic Academies, and the Alien Federations, Leo was the god of investment whose every move was like 5D chess that ordinary people couldn't understand. Heroes would soar with his sponsorship. Alien emperors offered him their daughters' hands in marriage for a single 'tip'. But Leo just stared at his bank account, which now displayed his wealth that he couldn't use on himself, with tears streaming down his face. "Please," he cried, "I'm trying to fail! Why won't you just let me be poor?!"

Truth and Lies Intertwined

In order to complete her mission in a barely recovered world after catastrophe, Arya decided to pretend to be a child and made trouble all day long. She managed to lurk for a few years when her superior suddenly decided to promote her to become a small group leader. Looking at the few people given to her, Arya was silent. Subordinate 1: so Arya likes cake… then I’ll make a few more for her Arya (blush): I only like it a little bit! And you’re using these cakes to exchange for information! Subordinate 2: When doing mission, how come Arya can change her faces so quickly (from unreliable to reliable)? Dual personality? Arya: …Nonsense! You’re the one who have dual personality! Subordinate 3: Why did you call us cute? As a big man nearly 1,9 meters tall, I don’t think I’m suitable for this adjective. Arya (shocked): I never said that! Damn it, who tarnished my reputation? Subordinate 4: Awww, Arya is so cute…. It’s hard to believe that she’s our leader. Arya: S… Sister, even if you say that, don’t try to pinch my cheek! Seeing their group that looked more like a group of adults taking of children, the other people were speechless. Are you sure that you’re a member of criminal organization? Why does it look like you’re trying to cultivate a group of people into a daddy and mommy experts? When Arya’s mission was finally completed, she chose to run away directly. But someone caught her and brought her favorite cake in front of her. “Don’t you want to taste it~?” Arya blushed. “You’re too foul!” ... Note: it's not harem nor reverse harem. It's 1vs1 from the beginning to the end. ...

Twilight of the Vast Expanses

[40,000+ words untill locked chapters.] [Long Chapters] [Gritty, Dark Story] [No Harem] [No Smut] ____________ 'Why' does one strive to attain power? For what reason does one endure various rigorous trainings, endure the bruises and the batterings, and go ahead to drill their soul and body into perfect shape just to become stronger? Those ridiculously overpowered, god-like monsters that walked the Earth knew, because they never stopped training. But I didn't know the reason. Why, one might ask? The answer was quite simple, really. I had no desire to 'know' the reason, and I had no drive to discover the 'why.' It was because my circumstances gave me no reason to become stronger. And stupidly enough, I greatly believed that I was strong enough to fend for myself. But boy was I wrong. Fate punched me in the guts, and proceeded to give me very, very good reasons to abandon my narrowed mentality and strive to become stronger than I thought I was. And those reasons multiplied by the day. As I ventured out of the dreary slum-like backlands that I grew up in — diving head first into the wider world overrun by monstrous aliens, insanely advanced technology, and humans with supernatural powers — the initial 'why' had grown to become quite... numerous. So come. Come read my story. And see how I crawled out of the depths of the dejected Island called the backlands as a nameless underachiever, and grew to become a.. tether to the entire universe. Come read how I came to be called... The Twilight of the Vast Expanses.

Eternal Nexus Online

Eternal Nexus Online When Zyren Hale logs into Eternal Nexus Online for the first time, he expects nothing more than a game. Instead, the world greets him with silence. The sky above him splits open with brilliant light. Every player in the region collapses. NPCs freeze mid movement like puppets with cut strings. The forest itself stops breathing. Only Zyren can move. A crown made of shattered divine fragments drifts toward him, carrying the last heartbeat of a forgotten god. It speaks to him in a voice colder than the void. You were not meant to survive this. Yet you stand. You have been chosen to erase the divine. Zyren awakens with a hidden class that should never exist. A class banned by the pantheon. A class whispered about in mythic ruins. A class designed to break the power of gods. Mythic Godbreaker. From that moment, the game is no longer a game. Divine beings watch him from the sky with golden eyes. Shadow creatures stalk him through the night forests. NPCs speak his real name, a name he never told them. Some players vanish after approaching him, leaving only echoes where their avatars stood. And outside the game, Nova City begins to distort. Zyren dreams of places he has never seen. His VR pod records impossible readings. People he passes feel an unexplainable chill. Nexus Technologies hides reports of players who claim they heard gods whispering through their headsets. The more Zyren grows, the more the world responds. His presence bends quests, shifts monster behavior, and alters divine territory. Rumors spread that a forbidden class has awakened. Some want to worship him. Some want to control him. Some want to erase him before the gods notice. But it is already too late. The gods have noticed. Beautiful and deadly heroines step into his path. A frost warrior with eyes like ice. An archer whose spirit burns brighter than sunlight. A divine avatar who watches him with dangerous curiosity. Each one drawn to the same impossible truth. Zyren is the beginning of a prophecy the world tried to bury. When the Godbreaker rises, pantheons fall. Worlds fracture. Realities bleed together. And the truth behind Eternal Nexus begins to awaken. Zyren Hale entered a game to escape his life. Now both worlds are fighting over him. Only one question remains. Will he become the salvation of Aetherra Or the reason the gods fall into eternal ruin.
