LEVELLING UP Chapter 1 **What is this**

"Faster!!.... Harder!!...quicken your movements, sharpen your stance, apply pressure!!" The old man yelled as he easily blocked the attack of the younger boy

He rested his hands on his knees, panting and trying to calm his beating heart which was getting louder by the minute. He had been at this since morning and he wasn't able to lay a single strike on him. He tightened his grip on the wooden sword and looked up to see the old man frowning at him, it was obvious that he wasn't pleased

He took a stance immediately, closed his eyes, gripped his sword tighter and jumped. As fast as the wind, he raised his sword and a faint smile could be seen on his lips

'Got you now, old man' He struck but all he could feel was the breeze of his strike. He looked at the place he struck and he saw nothing

'Where was he'

He felt a light touch on his back and before he knew what happened, he flew forward and crashed into the hay inside the shed

"Tskk, tssk .... Still too slow and weak. That's enough for today" The old man said and turned around

"Father...wait, I am not tired" The young boy ran to the man

"I an tired, Roshan. I know you have a lot of potential in you but I don't know what's wrong with you" The man looked down at his son

He put his hand on his hair and ruffled it before speaking

" You are 16 years old and Arkon's Tournament is to start in four months, If you are still like this by then. I don't know if you would even make it past the first round. I am scared for you, Roshan. Your brother played his part in the war and he died respectfully but what about you? Your mother and I are worried you may not make it that far and I need you to keep training to prove us wrong but when will you be able to do that, time is not on your side" The old man said and stared far into the forest as he sensed something.

Roshan kept his head down "I am not weak, Father"

He said bitterly but he knew the truth himself. He was weak, weaker than everybody that he has met. Kids made fun of him, bullied him because he was nothing compared to them

The old man smiled "I know my son, you are a lot stronger than you know. Would you run to the forest and see if you can find meat for tonight's dinner"

Roshan immediately remembered that he should have gone to hunt before now and he picked his little dagger and put it in his back pocket, he bowed and went in the direction of the forest

"I will be back soon" He called to his father and waved

The old man smiled and waved back

Immediately he saw the back of the boy disappearing into the forest. His smile turned into a frown and he rushed into the house to pick his sword

"Darling, We are under attack!!" He called to his wife and few seconds later, the door to their house broke down.

Roshan walked deeper into forest as he searched for the animal he would hunt and take home. He would usually hide and wait for a group of beasts to come in and would sneak in to take away the young ones among the herd who was a lot more easier to kill.

As he walked in search of any signs of a herd, his father's words kept ringing in his head. He had heard of the Arkon's Tournament where boys and girls of a particular age would battle and compete in order to be chosen into the Mage School where they would be taught on magic or the Military where they would try to own or develop abilities.

Things were not this way before but it all changed with the arrival of the monsters known as The Daegi.

Noone knew from whence they came but they suddenly invaded earth, destroying everything in its path. Humans fought but not much was done and when it looked like all hope was lost, a certain group of people with strange magic powers and foreign abilities showed up and with their arrival, things turned around for the humans.

But they still couldn't get rid of the Daegi. Both sides fought to a standstill until a peace treaty was proposed and the Deagi Leader came forward to sign it but they both knew it wouldn't last for a long time.

The time span of the peace treaty would be used by both sides to get stronger without the knowledge of the other.

Years passed and the first war turned into a bed time story for the younger generation as most of the civilians no longer paid much attention to the Deagi's attack but the Ones above knew the second war would soon be close.

They created atmospheres and centres to develop the young and stronger generation teaching them how to use their abilities and powers but little did they know that they weren't the only ones trying to get stronger.

Roshan wasn't born with magic powers or abilities despite his mother being a warlock and his dad being a level 50 fire user but his elder brother was gifted with extraordinary talent, at a age of 30 he was able to master the fire ability up to level 35. Roshan always looked up to his brother wanting to be like him and he was proud of him.

Everything shattered when the news of his death was brought as he was killed by a Super Tier beast of level 48. Since then, Roshan began his training to serve in the Military but he was still angry at the thought of him being too weak.

His mind was clouded that he didn't realise he was headed into a ditch and he fell into it.

Thankfully the ditch wasn't too deep and he would be able to climb out of it

He noticed that he landed on a hard object, he began to claw into the ground with his hands and he uncovered a strange looking object in the shape of a book.

"What is this"

The Fallen Heiress's Debt to the Billionaire

Shen Xiyan

I was once the princess of the Upper East Side, but now I’m just "debt wrapped in pretty skin." To keep my father alive in a federal penitentiary, I signed a contract I didn't fully understand. I thought it was about restoring my family's name, but producer Barnett Orr treated it like a bill of sale for my soul. Inside his limousine, the air smelled like gasoline and fear. Barnett didn't want a star; he wanted a victim. He bruised my jaw and ripped my vintage silk gown to shreds, laughing because he knew I couldn't fight back without signing my father's death warrant. "Don't forget who owns you, Felicity," he whispered. When he dragged me into Dewitt Knight’s penthouse party, I was a walking disaster. I huddled in Barnett’s oversized jacket, my lip bleeding and my spirit shattered. The elite crowd didn't see a victim; they saw a fallen girl selling herself for a role. A former rival poured red wine over me, and the room erupted in cruel laughter while Barnett told everyone he was just "testing my commitment." I looked up at the balcony, locking eyes with Dewitt Knight. He was a god in a bespoke suit, looking down at me with cold, lethal disgust. He didn't see the bruises or the desperation. He only saw a transaction he found beneath him. "So the rumors are true," he said, his voice cutting through the music. "The Aguilars really will do anything for money now. Even this." I was trapped between a monster who wanted to break me and a man who thought I was trash. No one cared that my father's life depended on my silence. When Barnett cornered me in a guest room later that night, his belt jingling like a death knell, I realized no one was coming to save a girl like me. I fought back with a crystal vase, shattering it against his shoulder, but I was drowning in my own terror. Just as Barnett lunged for my throat, the door was kicked off its hinges. Dewitt stood there, finally seeing the blood on the carpet and the map of purple bruises on my bare back. He chased the monster away, but I didn't feel safe. I locked the guest room door, wedged a chair under the handle, and slept with a silver letter opener pressed against my skin. When I crept into the kitchen at midnight and found him waiting in the shadows, I aimed the blade at his heart. "In this house, no one hurts you," he promised, his voice a low velvet rumble. But in a world where I had already been sold once, I knew that even protection came with a price I couldn't afford to pay.

Betrayed Bride: Claimed By The Brother

Betrayed Bride: Claimed By The Brother

Reilly Mcardle

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.

He Thought I Was A Doormat, Until I Ruined Him

He Thought I Was A Doormat, Until I Ruined Him

SHANA GRAY

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
