In a post-nuclear world, twenty mega-corporations have seized control and established a global government. They rule through AI, which judges all matters.
Gao Xin only wanted to live a peaceful life, but inexplicably became a scapegoat for the powerful elite. Unable to afford prison fees, he was sentenced to ten years' exile on Penance Isle!
On this island, there are no laws, no constraints-the only order comes from the various game arenas established by the authorities.
The criminals can only participate like racehorses, providing entertainment for the privileged elite.
However, on this prison island teeming with irradiated beings, cyborgs, and countless dangerous villains, Gao Xin possesses neither strength, talent, nor connections. Like a sheep thrown into a crocodile pool, it's tantamount to a death sentence.
How can an ordinary person survive under the oppression of those stronger, more gifted, and more ruthless? Unless there exists in this world a path that allows even the weakest person to continuously break through their limitations.

Bound To The Demon Prince Of Erendale | 18+ by Nef_3rtiti
12 parts Ongoing
⚠️WARNING: MATURE AUDIENCE ONLY.🔞 "You're mine, Witch." His voice hardened. "Your life that I saved? The one that would've been WASTED if I hadn't acted? Belongs to ME. And you will do only as I please, exactly as I say, until-" "Over my dead body!" I hissed, suddenly filled with anger. "That can be arranged," Hans said easily. Then with a smile that was anything but pleasant: "Or you can steal for me instead. Kill for me, if I tell you to. Either way, you stay where I can see you. Night and day." "I'm no puppet." I held his silver gaze with a glare. "And I'm definitely no murderer." "No, but you're a thief. One that's now forever indebted to me." ~•|•~ She steals power. This time, she stole the wrong one. ~•|•~ The Black Market of Erendale runs on the trade of magic ripped from its owners and sold to the highest bidder. Eclipse knows the game. As a Siphoner, a rare witch who can drain abilities with a touch, she survives by robbing the powerful and selling to the even more powerful... until she accidentally takes the essence of Hans de la Mort, the demon of Erendale himself. Crossing him should mean death. Instead, he offers her a deal: she'll return his power when the time is right, and until then, she and her siphoning abilities belong to him. She was his prisoner. His prey. And dangerously, the one who made his demon want to play. Every job she's forced to do pulls them closer to danger-and closer to each other. But when Eclipse uncovers a plot to overthrow him, she's faced with an impossible choice: return his power and lose the only leverage keeping her alive... or keep it, and risk losing everything. Including him.
