The Retired Young Mercenary Is Secretly a Billionaire

noctistt
They call him Ghost. A name whispered in fear across warzones, black markets, and underworld circles. To the world, he's a phantom—a faceless mercenary who leaves no trace but bodies in his wake. To his enemies, he’s a death sentence. To his brothers-in-arms in Graveyard, he’s family. But to himself... he's a haunted man searching for a past stolen in gunfire and smoke. After a flawless mission deep in the Eastern Province, Ghost returns to the hidden forest base he's called home for sixteen years. Yet the victory is short-lived. His foster father, the commander delivers an unexpected order: "That was your last mission." Now, Ghost—real name Miles Sterling—must step out of the shadows of war and into a world he’s never known. Guided only by a scarred letter, a fading memory, and the voice of a woman he hasn’t seen since the day everything was taken from him. But war forged more than his body and name. Behind the mask, behind the scars, Miles has another secret. One he’s kept hidden even from his brothers in arms. He’s not just a weapon. He’s a ghost with a fortune—a hidden empire he built in silence, across borders and black markets, forged in strategy and blood. A man of many names, and many shadows. Beneath the bullets, tattoos, and silence lies a truth buried in ashes. And Ghost is about to dig it up—one letter, one enemy, one memory at a time.

Boundless: Tower of Evolution

The world didn’t end in fire or chaos, it changed quietly. Zane Mensah, an observant and withdrawn university student, is among the few who notice the subtle signs that something is wrong. The sky stands unnaturally still, animals begin to behave in disturbing ways, and an invisible pressure seems to settle over the world. While others dismiss it, Zane’s instincts tell him a pattern is forming, one he doesn’t yet understand. Then everything breaks. As animals across the world begin to mutate and humanity collapses into chaos, cities fall and survival becomes the only rule. Nations shrink into isolated safe zones, resources grow scarce, and fear replaces order. With no knowledge of cultivation or power, humanity struggles against a rapidly evolving threat. Just when hope begins to fade, mysterious alien beings known as the Astreans appear. They construct towering structures, gateways to a brutal trial system known as the Tower of Evolution. Promising strength and survival, they offer humanity a chance to fight back… but at a cost. Only those under the age of twenty can enter. Inside the tower, participants are tested, broken, and forced to evolve. Power comes through absorbing essence left behind by the dead, elemental forces and bloodline remnants that can either elevate or erase one’s existence. Survival is no longer just about strength, but adaptation, instinct, and the will to surpass others. Zane enters the tower not as a hero, but as a survivor. Driven first by the need to live, and later by the desire to control his own fate, he begins a journey through a world where only the strongest rise, and where even allies can become enemies. Because in the end, only one truth remains: To evolve… or be left behind.
