A broke Filipino grocery worker survives a hit-and-run and wakes up with three seconds of foresight. To pay the hospital bill and keep his family fed, he sets out to bankrupt the casinos of Asia — slowly, quietly, one nosebleed at a time. But every second he spends is a second of his life, and somewhere out there, someone is keeping a list of people like him.Premise (back-of-book pitch): Aaron Reyes is twenty-three, a business graduate with no business prospects, working the graveyard shift at a 24-hour grocery in Quezon City. His father builds for other people. His mother washes other people's dishes. His baby brother is teething through nights nobody can afford. Then a car runs a red light, and Aaron wakes up in a hospital bed seeing the nurse walk through the door three seconds before she actually does. The gift is small. Three seconds. A nosebleed for every glimpse, a few seconds banked each day for later use. Useless for almost everything in life — except one thing: a casino card laid face down.

The folks that supposedly know all about writing, publishing and printing books said, you have to tell them a little about yourself. Actually I have in the opening chapter at least. But again this is NOT supposed to be an autobiography about me, but rather the very unique experiences of my life. Naturally, some of me will creep into the pages because of how one thing led to another and then another etc. I have left a lot of the real me personal stuff out of the book on purpose for that reason. So after retiring from the military (US Air Force) after 24 pretty good years of service, I did all sorts of things but to be honest nothing was a perfect match for me. I cooked at aanEdgartown (Martha‘s Vineyard ) restaurant for a summer, drove a taxi mainly for tourists a couple oif years, worked in retail, cooked at an assisted living place, sold carpets, wood flooring, ceramic and all that for a few years. All of that was pleasureable most days, but just not me. So in 1996, remembering my service in Iceland and the litteral paradise it was in the 70‘s and 80‘s when I served there I decided to make the move. Having an Icelandic wife, that made the immigration application and approval fairly easy. Since one necessary requirement was a full time job to get a work permit. So I took a job at of all places McDonald‘s for nearly a year. A great training ground, But Iceland, like everywhere was changing, but with all the rukles and regulations about as close to slavery as busy as it was for anyone. I did announcing, finally getting on at a radio station with a show in fact three of my own over three years. But in the closing days of the century, the station changed hands a few times , managers even more frequently and someone discovered that if you taped stuff, ran computer programs and automated most of the time, you didn‘t have to pay salaries just the electric bill. So that ended the last day of 1999 when a new contract was offerred at about half pay. I declined. Then I went into tourism for 20 years, planning personal tours for people. That was great. It‘s an incredile beautiful country,expensive to live work and visit here but VERY worth the effort, even today. 2008 wasn‘t the only crash. My overall health declined rather suddenly, with iskemic optical neropathy, partially in both eyes, type two diabeties, high blood pressure and general unsteadiness, perhaps because of everything else. So enough about the author. If you want to know more, you‘ll have to ask. So enjoy the book, I wrote it to be enjoyed.

In a world where heroes always win and villains are destined to lose, one man decides to flip the script. Armed with nothing but a mysterious system and a wicked sense of humor, he's on a mission to do the impossible: steal the spotlight from the chosen ones. But here's the catch - every time he takes down a hero, reality itself seems to hiccup. Suddenly, he's not just fighting overpowered protagonists; he's juggling entire storylines, each crazier than the last. From cultivation realms to modern metropolises, from ancient sects to futuristic space stations, no realm is safe from his clever schemes and insatiable appetite for chaos. As he collects powers, luck, and even the occasional unwilling sidekick, our unlikely anti-hero starts to wonder: In a multiverse where being good is a superpower, does being bad make him the greatest hero of all? Get ready for a tale that turns tropes on their head, where the bad guy is the good guy, and 'happily ever after' is just the beginning of the trouble. After all, when the system says jump, you don't just ask how high - you steal the jumping skill and soar. Will he save the world by wrecking everyone else's story? Or will the cosmic author finally hit the delete key on his shenanigans? There's only one way to find out. The game is afoot, the dice are loaded, and the house always wins - or does it?

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
