The Little Man

Jack thought his life was simple enough: a steady job under Barksen, a promotion that promised stability, and a quiet existence with money tucked away for the future. He was lean, sharp-tongued, and bitterly amused by the world’s stupidity, but content to drift without risk. His friend Julias, however, was everything Jack was not—suave, powerful, and unnervingly smooth. A man whose presence filled rooms, whose silence carried weight, and whose eyes seemed to peel back the layers of anyone who dared meet them. What began as laughter over a ruined prom dress spirals into something darker. In Julias’s marble-floored apartment, amid biblical paintings and the scent of red wine, Jack is pressed into a conversation that feels less like banter and more like initiation. Julias speaks of predators, of power, of risks worth taking—and suddenly Jack finds himself confessing things he never meant to say. Words of ruin. Words of killing. The friendship between fire and water begins to shift into something more dangerous: a mentorship, a test, perhaps even a trap. Julias’s questions are not idle. His gaze is steel, his tone a blade, and his world is one where politics and ambition are war, where rivals are predators, and where survival demands ruthlessness. Jack, once a bitter but harmless cynic, is being drawn into a web of power, manipulation, and moral compromise. As Jack mentally tries to balance his dreams of law school and independence against Julias’s intoxicating vision of dominance, he must decide: is he content with a safe, early retirement, or will he risk everything for the promise of real power? And if he chooses the latter, will he still recognize himself—or will Julias’s world consume him entirely? But then— Jack ordinary life changed when he got stabbed by a seductress. "The Little Man" is a psychological thriller of ambition, friendship, and corruption. It explores the fragile line between loyalty and manipulation, the seduction of power, and the terrifying ease with which people can be coaxed into extraordinary darkness.

Final Life Online

Final Life Online is a 10th-generation, full-dive VRMMO game developed through the collaboration of companies from across the globe. The game was initially designed as a virtual utopia, a place where players could spend their entire lives after retirement, earn a living, and even shape a new reality. Despite its deep and serious intent, the game became an escape for most players, who gave up on its true objective and chose instead to simply enjoy living in the virtual world as if it were reality. Only a few elite guilds still aimed to beat the game, chasing the incredible rewards promised to those who succeeded. The stakes were high — any player who could defeat the game's final challenge would be rewarded with 20% ownership in the top 1,000 companies in the real world. Yet, as the years passed, no one was able to conquer it. Now, a decade later, the game has become a battleground for the top guilds, all vying for that elusive victory and its earth-shaking rewards. Suddenly, the perspective shifts to a figure standing by the window, looking out into the fading light. A soft breeze ruffles the curtains as he gazes at the massive poster of Final Life Online plastered on the building across the street, its vibrant colors a stark contrast to the dullness of his room. He mutters to himself, his voice a mere whisper against the cacophony of the city below. "And I... am Flynn Blade." The name feels foreign on his tongue, a remnant of a past life he can barely remember. And I have reincarnated in this Doomed world, But no more as I am here now. ***** Flynn, a reincarnator from another world, finds himself preparing for the launch of Final Life Online, a virtual reality game with world-changing stakes. In his previous life, Final Life Online was just a novel, but now he knows it’s far more than just a game. It's humanity's last chance to prepare for a catastrophic apocalypse set to hit Earth in ten years. To make sure the world takes it seriously, the game’s rewards are extraordinary, including shares in top companies and a “World Owner” title with unparalleled power. Flynn has an edge over other players because he knows the game’s true purpose from the start, thanks to reading from the perspective of Max, the story's main character. Max is a regressor who, like Flynn, will join the game today. Max is set to choose one of the strongest classes, but Flynn knows about an even more powerful class that Max didn’t know existed. This class once made another player the second-strongest in the world, nearly on par with Max, despite the fact that Max had multiple advantages like special equipment and cheats. Flynn plans to take this class for himself, aiming to surpass even Max in strength and gather enough power to survive the coming apocalypse. Though he has never met Max personally, Flynn's knowledge of Max’s journey gives him the insight he needs to prepare. His ultimate goal is not just to become stronger, but to protect himself and those he cares about from the impending disaster.
