The Chronos Taxman

The Chronos Taxman

In Neu-Terra, your existence is merely a number in the ledger of the Kronos Corporation. Thanks to the Chronos Engine, living time has been transformed into the ultimate commodity. The elite revel in immortality, extending their lives with limitless time credits. While down below, the poor must pay the Kronos Tax, surrendering pieces of their future just to see another sunrise. If you fail to pay, they will send Kael Valerius. Kael, dubbed "The Reaper," is the finest Kronos Taxman. He is a man without morals, without mercy. He hunts down Defaulters—fathers, mothers, children, anyone—and with his energy-charged blade, he forcibly harvests their remaining life time. Every second he steals from his victims is a second he sells back to the system, all for a single purpose: to buy more time for his dying sister, the only person he cares about in this dystopian hell. Kael possesses the power of Chronostasis, allowing him to freeze his enemies in an instant without a sound, making him an unstoppable, lethal ghost. However, each harvest not only augments his power but also erodes his humanity. When a mission leads him to an unexpected target—a former Corporate engineer who claims to have a way to dismantle the Kronos Tax forever—Kael is faced with a brutal choice. Will he remain the system's attack dog, guaranteeing his sister's survival with the blood of countless innocents? Or will he betray the very hierarchy that grants him power and his sister a chance to live, all to tear down the rotten foundations of this world, even if it means death for them both?

The Villainess Now Has the Whole Galaxy on Their Knees

The Villainess Now Has the Whole Galaxy on Their Knees

Sophie Wexler transmigrated into a novel about The Galaxy, becoming the vicious, F-rank Healer-class cannon fodder. The original owner constantly caused trouble and made things difficult for the female lead, earning her the hatred of the entire internet. Upon transmigrating and seeing that everything had been ruined by the original owner, Sophie's only thought was: "What kind of nightmare start is this?!" To escape the original owner's fate, Sophie Wexler worked diligently, conducted herself conscientiously, stayed away from the male and female leads, compensated the soldiers harmed by the original owner, and strove to be a model citizen of The Galaxy, absolutely refusing to be the cannon fodder 'offed' by the Imperial Marshal! Broke and powerless, Sophie also had to support a man who'd been innocently dragged into the original owner's mess. She had no choice but to hustle. She started live streaming, became a masked singer, and held concerts. At first, netizens were scornful: 【Tsk, how good can she possibly sound?】 Later, the netizens were forced to eat their words. 【Damn, that's so good I'm on my knees!】 【What the hell, the violent episode of my Disorder Period has actually been soothed?!】 【The toxins in my Spiritual Sea have actually been eliminated!】 Her live streams went viral, the masked singer became a huge sensation, and tickets for her concerts were snapped up across The Galaxy. Sophie was content, thinking, "This time, I must have finally escaped the original owner's fate, right?" But what do you know, the man I've been doting on and supporting is actually the Imperial Marshal?! --- One day, Yancey Forrest came home to find that the boisterous person who was always claiming to be good to him was gone. His eyes darkened. Provoke me and then think you can leave? After catching her, Yancey traced his fingertips along Sophie's neck, smiling gently. "Why run?" Sophie trembled. "You... you're the Imperial Marshal?" His identity exposed, Yancey Forrest took her hand and slowly placed it on his own neck ring. "You know I won't kill you, don't you?"
