Risen To The Top Novels & Stories

Time is not on my side and I quickly haul myself higher up. The tall guy lunges forward and tries to shake the pole, I am lucky that the pole has been securely bolted to whatever mechanism that lays covered in the ground. The pole does not shake and I climb feverishly. It feels like forever before I finally reach the top. But when I do, strange tingling sensation courses through me as my hands wrap around the blade. It is the thrill of victory. “I have the blade!” I shout at the top of my lungs. Down below, Hunter walks out of the canopy and looks up at me, giving me a thumbs up.

The captain nodded respectfully, as the call was finally ended. *************************************************** Somewhere else in the gladiator district, the apartment of the Microsoft Empire team was already filled with people before the team members even arrived back. World Destroyer led his teammates in, as they came before the regional General of the Microsoft Empire. They all saluted respectfully after standing before him, while the General nodded at them with a pleased expression on his face. World Destroyer dropped his usual arrogant expression, as this time he stood before a superior high-grade warrior. The General first congratulated them, before granting them some money and a d

Being a prostitute will definitely suit you better than this. “Riddle me, what did you write as your long-term dream in your statement of intention?” I looked at him with so much anger eating me up from within, but I know it will be better for me to not overcomplicate things for myself by making him angrier than he is already. So, I kept quiet.

too excited to share his conclusions with Sarah, Luke never noticed that Sarah didn’t move from the place she stood when he came in. “And about that part ‘Rise of the Phoenix,’ that Celia connected with my full shifting… well, I think she was wrong. I think it had nothing to do with any physical transformation. Because you, Sarah, never gave up on me, and you put up with all my tantrums. You showed me I was wrong with my stupid prejudices and beliefs, and you were there for me while I learned to be a better man, a better version of myself. You gave me family and love and support…” when he put it like that, it made even more sense than what Celia said. “And I am about to give you one more thi

The vessel glided smoothly, leaving a trail of white foam behind it—just like Serena, who had left the ruins of her past far beyond the horizon. The success of The Betrayal had surpassed every expectation. It was not only the highest-grossing film in the history of the national film industry, but it had also won prestigious international awards. Yet for Serena, true victory was not in the gold-plated trophies now lining her new office. Her real triumph stood right before her: Clarisa.

As she climbed into bed, her phone buzzed with a text from Rylan: "Thank you for a wonderful evening. Sweet dreams, beautiful." Ravenna stared at the message, her finger hovering over the reply button. Finally, she typed out a response: "The pleasure was all mine. Goodnight, Rylan." As she set her phone aside, Ravenna closed her eyes, steeling herself for what was to come. The game was far from over, and she couldn't afford to let her guard down. Rylan may have killed her in her past life, may have betrayed her in the worst possible way, but in this life, she would be the one to come out on top.

The man who had turned her world upside down. Her phone buzzed on the desk, snapping her out of her thoughts. She reached for it, her heart leaping in her chest when she saw his name flash on the screen. It was a simple message: Meet me at the penthouse at 7 PM. Don’t be late. Isabella’s breath hitched. The penthouse. They had been there before, during their moments of quiet privacy, but every time she stepped into that world, it felt like she was walking deeper into something she couldn’t escape. The sheer opulence of the space, the commanding view of the city skyline—it all reflected the power and control Alexander held over everything, including her.

Wilson planned to leave after he helped Fiona with getting Eunice into the cab, but Fiona called out to him, "Get in with us." He paused briefly before doing as told. Michael's heart twinged with pain as he watched the cab leave. He thought Fiona would wait for him, but he had forgotten that she now had plenty of other choices available. The loving words and intimacy they once shared had all faded into nothingness. Anyone could see that she rejected his presence completely, so what gave him such confidence? Just because he was a manager at her company? A man's success was often conflated with his career and his physical appearance. Alas, without the status he once had, Michael felt rather hu

Since going back to sleep was out of the question, she started scrolling through her notifications, hoping to at least pass the time. Her I*******m feed was the usual mix of posts from friends, influencers, and random pages she followed. She stopped at a picture of her high s cute girl named Chloe, on vacation. The girl was posing in front of a waterfall, her caption reading: *Woke up to this view! Can’t complain!* "Must be nice," Sophia muttered, double-tapping the photo before continuing to scroll. A few posts down, she saw a picture of Katrina—the last person she wanted to think about this early in the morning. The girl had uploaded a selfie with a few of her friends, captioned: *Some of
