"To live or die-that's the way this world works for the poor."  

Caelum Hill grew up poor, with nothing extra to spend on extravagant things.  His family can barely get by with what income they have.  

However, what happens when Caelum's willing to risk his own life inside the Arena?  A place divided into six floors, each one garnering less and less players.  

The objective of this place?  To kill.  

Each murder achieved will obtain a player a sum of money.  Also, every time a player is killed, their number of respawns will go down by one.  The only problem is, what happens when someone runs out of respawns?  

Follow along with Caelum as he meets new friends and foes, some of them with quite the reputation.  As he makes his way up the floors, he discovers things far more sinister than he ever could've imagined, and comes face to face with a past he thought he left far behind.    

In the end, when push comes to shove, who will he trust?  Who will he respect?  Yet, perhaps most importantly, who will he murder inside the Arena?All Rights Reserved

The Last Avian Soldier (The Nine Realms Universe) by ren_writes_words

We're all pawns in this game played by those on top. From the moment we can process what they're telling us, we're led to believe that we must kneel before superiority. Bow our heads to the kings and queens, the powerful men and women who sit high on their thrones. To them, we are nothing but tools, obstacles, and threats. For this life is nothing but a constant battle between immortals. The individuals on the pedestals, and the ones in the dirt. So, how may we get out? How much blood will be spilled, tears shed, final breaths taken, before this is all over? People are lost in the game. They don't come back. Sons and daughters, parents, siblings... all slaughtered in this power play. Through all of this I have lost. I walk upon the shattered past left in my wake. I wish for death to finally arrive, but it never does. There's a crown of death atop my head and there's nothing I can do to change it. We were ready to make a difference. When death came to our doorstep we refused to let it take us, not without a fight, but it was a futile attempt. No one can stand in the way of a king starved for the power of it all. Tainted by ambition and violence. And with that, two thousand soldiers drew their swords for a war they would not win.

Sometimes, even the most delicate things can seem dangerous but these things are too fragile to be counted. I can choose him, but this fragile choice could ruin me or my cause, and I can't afford that, even if it means the end of my life. But the sight of him takes my breath away. I've met countless men in my nineteen years, but why is he different? Why is he the one whose gaze makes my heart, Calista's heart of iron, beat?

As Scarlet navigates this moral dilemma, she is confronted with new challenges and threats. Dark magic is being used against her people, and her comrades are falling victim to mysterious deaths.

The Heirs of Honour by yasha1021

In the heart of a modern metropolis, where skyscrapers kiss the sky and the streets pulse with life, lies a hidden world shrouded in secrecy and power. This clandestine realm is ruled by the enigmatic Firdaus brothers, who mask their illicit weapon manufacturing empire with a web of legitimate businesses spread across the nation. Bound by the ancient Tawla rules-a strict code of conduct and honor-the Firdaus mafia thrives in the shadows. Betrayal is met with a single, unforgiving consequence: death. After a seventeen-year exile, Sinan, the eldest Firdaus brother, returns to find his once-familiar world irrevocably transformed. His shock is compounded by the discovery that his son, Zayn, is romantically entangled with the daughter of their most formidable enemy. To make matters worse, the ruthless drug lord Wade Emerson has seized control of the region, threatening to dismantle the Firdaus brothers' carefully constructed empire. As old alliances fracture and new ones form, the Firdaus family is thrust into a fierce struggle for dominance. Amidst the chaos, forbidden love ignites, passions flare, and long-buried secrets rise to the surface, threatening to tear the family apart. As their children grow, they become the heirs to this dangerous legacy, entering a world where power is a birthright and trust is a luxury. They navigate a treacherous world where honourable and deception walk hand in hand. But as the next generation takes the reins, they find themselves facing a world vastly different from the one their parents knew. The heirs must prove their worth in a world where alliances shift like the tides. Will they be consumed by the very world they helped create, or will they find redemption and a chance at a new beginning?

They're about to learn why you shouldn't leave your victims breathing. But every time he stares into the abyss of his own making, echoes of his former self whisper from the depths. And in quiet moments, when the mask slips, one question burns: Is he becoming stronger, or is he just better at breaking? ✧ A tale of twisted redemption ✧ Morally grey protagonist ✧ Psychological warfare ✧ Complex magic system ✧ Strategic manipulation ✧ Found family (but toxic) [Updates every Monday, Wednesday and Friday] #MagicFantasy #DarkFantasy #Reincarnation #Revenge #MagicAcademy #PsychologicalThriller #Antihero Start the journey.
