The year is 1998, Entourage traces the origin of Ono Takeo, a man whose life is shattered by betrayal, loss, and a quest for vengeance. Before he became the feared figure known as "Entourage," Ono was just another person trying to live a simple life-until everything he knew was taken from him. After the tragic death of his family and the unraveling of a deep betrayal involving those closest to him, Ono is pulled into the chaotic and brutal world of organized crime.

Thrust into a game of power, manipulation, and secrets, Ono must navigate the dangerous underworld while seeking the truth behind the conspiracy that tore his life apart. Along the way, he confronts former allies, makes uneasy alliances, and faces the harsh reality that the road to vengeance often comes at the highest cost.

As Ono rises through the ranks of the criminal empire, he finds himself questioning who he was, who he is now, and who he needs to become in order to keep his promise to the one person who truly mattered. His journey is one of transformation, from a man seeking justice to a ruthless enforcer known as Entourage, driven by rage, guilt, and a desire to restore balance in a world full of chaos.

Entourage is a gritty, action-packed tale of personal redemption, filled with betrayal, emotional depth, and an exploration of the choices that shape us. It's the story of a man forced into a life he never wanted, struggling to stay true to himself as he becomes something darker and more dangerous in the pursuit of the truth.All Rights Reserved

Shark by EV_1117

"Whaddaya say, kid? It's either us or the bats." ------ The Red Sea is the most feared gang in Japan. They make up for their relatively small size in their ruthlessness as loan sharks.

Heavenly Sins Series #1: Ruled by Fire by MsButterfly

My life before was just like my name, Haven. Everything was peaceful, everything went my way, and I had everything that I needed. If I wanted something, I'd have it in a snap. I didn't need to move, make an effort, or work for it. I just needed my daddy's tiny rectangular card that might look insignificant but carried the world on its little sharp edges. Money might not equate to happiness, but it certainly made life easier for me. And yet a year later, from heaven I was dropped into my version of hell. Now, I'm standing in the aisle of a grocery store, wondering if I should just buy another batch of instant noodles because I don't want to waste money-money that I barely have to begin with-on food that will just end up being barely edible. Was that the hell I'm talking about? No. It's working unbelievably long hours just to get paid basically nothing, and wanting to buy food to eat because I haven't had one meal for the day, only to end up having a gun on my head. Oh, and before I forget-kidnapped! At a grocery store! My version of hell? It's the tattooed, hot-headed Italian and head of a secret criminal society, Allessio Cascella.

Night Devil by JoTiM0

In a high-security Japanese prison exclusively for foreigners, Yasha, a mysterious inmate dressed in black-marking him as the most dangerous-is trapped in a brutal world of prison politics. But Yasha isn't his real name. In this prison, names are assigned based on perceived danger, with a strict hierarchy reflected by the color of their uniforms. Yasha's black uniform signifies the highest level of threat, while others, like his cellmate Haruto in dark blue and Akira in red, fall beneath him in rank, though none of the prisoners know what the colors truly mean. Yasha's dark past is shrouded in secrets. Expelled from his home country and handed over to the Japanese prison system, he was falsely labeled a criminal for reasons hidden even from him. His case file, received by the warden, revealed his innocence-but exposing that truth would bring down serious repercussions from human rights groups. To maintain order and conceal the truth, the warden decided to make Yasha seem like a dangerous, untouchable prisoner. Despite his pain and mysterious injuries-especially his dragon tattoo that bleeds and causes him agony-Yasha hides his vulnerability behind a mask of sarcasm and strength. As he navigates the harsh prison environment, Yasha begins to form a bond with Haruto, his new cellmate, who initially distrusted him. But when a violent gang attack led by Daiki targets Haruto, Yasha steps in, risking his own injured hand to fight off the attackers and protect his cellmate. Now, as friendships form and enemies grow, Yasha must continue to play the role of the feared criminal while uncovering the truth about his past-and his place within the prison's hierarchy.

Phantom Genesis (幻創) by BlakeElric

Phantom Genesis (幻創) In a world where supernatural warriors are born with unique bloodline abilities, strength is dictated by one's Blood Flow (血流, Ketsuryū)-a force that determines their limits and potential. Nations are divided, tribes are extinct, and the corrupt government rules with an iron grip, hunting down those who threaten their power. Kaito Tsukihana, the last survivor of the Tsukihana Clan (月華, "Moonflower"), was born into a legacy of assassins feared for their ability to warp perception and manipulate speed. But seven years ago, his clan was massacred by the government's elite enforcers, The Sentinels. Now a cocky and reckless fighter, Kaito carves his own path as a lone assassin-until one mission changes everything. A bounty is placed on his head, setting off a relentless hunt. But the deeper he digs, the more he realizes: his assassination target wasn't what he thought. The government's corruption runs deeper than he imagined. And his past? It's not as buried as he believed. Haunted by revenge-seekers, elite bounty hunters, and enemies with grudges against his fallen clan, Kaito must fight, adapt, and evolve, unlocking deadly new transformations with every battle. Alongside Juro, a weary healer with a forgotten past, and Raika, a fierce warrior fueled by rage, Kaito is thrust into a war far bigger than himself. This isn't just about survival. This isn't just about revenge. This is about breaking the cycle of destruction. But to do that, Kaito must become stronger than ever before.

Shadows of deceit by upbeatguy23

In the gritty underbelly of a sprawling, neon-lit metropolis, a complex web of power, crime, and intrigue weaves its way through the city's heart. This is a mafia story, a tale of organized crime that unfolds in the shadows, where loyalty is as deadly as betrayal, and power is the ultimate currency. At the center of this seedy underworld is a charismatic and enigmatic mob boss, a figure whose influence extends far beyond the boundaries of legality. This mafia don is a master of manipulation, shrouded in an aura of charm that belies a ruthless and cunning mind. His empire stretches from illicit gambling dens to the drug trade, from extortion rackets to underground fight clubs. The city itself becomes a character in the story, its alleys and backstreets concealing secrets, and its towering skyscrapers casting long shadows over the criminal enterprises that flourish within. The juxtaposition of opulence and decay is striking, as glamorous penthouses overlook squalid tenements, and the echoes of power are heard amid the sirens and gunshots. The story's protagonists are a motley crew of characters, each with their own moral compass and motivations. A disillusioned detective, haunted by the memory of a loved one lost to the mafia's clutches, is determined to bring down the boss and dismantle the syndicate. Alongside him, a conflicted lawyer finds herself torn between her duty to uphold the law and her loyalty to a childhood friend entangled in the mafia's web. As the plot unfolds, alliances are forged and broken, betrayals and vendettas fuel the narrative, and the line between right and wrong blurs into shades of gray. Family ties, whether by blood or loyalty, play a pivotal role, as characters grapple with the choices they've made and the consequences that come with it.

Revenge by anastasiaivanovnaa

Book two of 'The Vengeance Duology' Five years ago, the lads and I made the biggest mistake of our lives-a reckless decision that shattered everything. We destroyed what mattered most, but my deepest regret is how much I hurt her. Every moment of pain I caused haunts me. I wish we'd done things differently, without all the suffering, without leaving everything in ruins. I'd give anything to have her back, but it's too late. She died believing we didn't love her, and that loss left a wound that nothing can ever heal. "Hello, I'm Alessio Bianchi... I'd give anything to have her back, even if it's just in my dreams." Five years ago, my heart was shattered by the very people I once called family. Betrayed and left with nothing, I fled to New York-broken, broke, and stripped of any sense of self-worth. But the thing about hitting rock bottom is, there's nowhere to go but up. Now, I own a multi-billion dollar empire, built from the ground up with my own hands. I'm happy, stronger than ever, and exactly where I want to be. The funniest part? They think I'm dead. "Hey, I'm Valentina Sorrentino... you had your shot-now it's my turn." Is five years too long to rekindle a love that shattered your heart?
