Title: MONEY Author: Chloé Kosidlovska (@kosidlovska) "Everyone has a price. Some people just take longer to name it." In a world dictated by the cold, unyielding architecture of capitalism, extreme wealth isn't just power-it's a weapon. From influencer culture and high-stakes corporate divorces to subterranean black-market graves and digital blackmail, MONEY explores the brutal moral compromises ordinary people make when the system backs them into a corner. Told through interconnected, gripping character arcs-influencers, factory workers, art forgers, tech billionaires, and whistleblowers-this multi-chapter dark thriller lays bare the absolute cost of survival. When the dust settles and the balances are cleared, one question remains: What are you willing to sell?

Everyone knew her as Queency Pascal. The sweet girl. The calm girl. The girl who always did the right thing. But Queency was never her real name. Her name is Liorah Williams. Born into one of Nigeria's most powerful families, Liorah grew up learning that being loved came with conditions. So she became the girl everyone wanted her to be-quiet, obedient, and perfectly composed. Until she returns to the family she barely knows. A new university. A new life. A family full of secrets. And people who have no idea who she really is. For the first time, Liorah begins to question the person she spent years pretending to be. She stops shrinking herself to keep others comfortable. She stops apologizing for taking up space. And she stops answering to a name that was never hers. Because Queency Pascal was the girl everyone knew. Liorah Williams is the girl they never saw coming. And this time, she isn't hiding.

🏆 Official Award Winner of a Japanese Web Novel Contest! Translated directly from the original Japanese Web Novel, which was handpicked for the Select Award (Top Honor) in Kakuyomu's Official Contest, hosted by KADOKAWA in Japan! 📚 Official Award Announcement (Japanese Original) https://kakuyomu.jp/contests/kakuyomu_10theme#theme06 --- "This world is a legacy system running on an unpatched OS. I'm just here to install the stability updates." When Kazuya, a former systems engineer and corporate slave, was summoned to another world along with his entire house, he didn't ask for a legendary sword. He asked for Fiber-Optic Internet. Armed with the collective wisdom of the entire world via the Internet, there is now virtually nothing he doesn't know. He has zero interest in "grand adventures." He'd rather stay inside his magically-transported home, drink ice-cold cola, and solve the Kingdom's greatest crises via remote work. By treating every disaster-from collapsing infrastructure to "ancient curses"-as a series of logical bugs, he optimizes a world that relies far too much on fickle magic using modern systems thinking. While he "works" from the comfort of his sofa, his black cat Tama-who is secretly the Legendary Savior, Tarmane-is busy "deleting" any hardware threats (monsters) that dare disturb her owner's Wi-Fi signal. The people call him a "Transcendent Sage." The Knights call his instructions "Divine Logic." In reality, he's just a lazy optimizer who knows that in any world, information is the ultimate weapon. An intellectual Isekai comedy where the greatest miracles aren't performed with wands, but with a perfectly executed patch.

THE THIRTEENTH VEIL Book I - The First Fracture In a world shaped by Astra, power decides more than who wins a battle. It decides who rules. Rhovan has never been a warrior, a noble, or anyone the powerful would have reason to notice. He is simply a young man from the forge districts of Khar-Veyr, living beneath the shadow of Veyra's War Houses and trying to build a life of his own. Then he notices something he was never supposed to notice. Something beneath the foundations of his city. Something that does not fit the histories he has been taught. As rival powers clash and Rhovan is drawn beyond the life he knows, he encounters realms where strength, divine authority, freedom, and change each offer a different answer to the same question: Who has the right to hold power? But the farther Rhovan travels, the harder it becomes to ignore the contradictions. Records disagree. Ancient structures appear where none should exist. Magic reacts in ways no one can explain. And Rhovan is beginning to realize that the most dangerous thing in their world may not be what everyone fears. It may be what everyone has forgotten. The Thirteenth Veil: The First Fracture is the beginning of an epic fantasy saga of rival realms, ancient mysteries, political conflict, friendship, magic, and a history that may not be what it seems.
