Underdog Rise Novels & Stories

Amara’s POV Abuja is breathing heavy tonight—humid air thick with diesel and grilled meat from the night markets, generators coughing in the distance like old men refusing to die. The target’s name is Victor Okoye—forty-eight, former banker turned shadow financier for half the Clean Slate’s operations in West Africa. Gideon’s money man in the capital. He handles the crypto wallets, the shell companies, the bribes that keep the machine oiled. If we cut him, we cut the blood supply.

On her eighteenth birthday, Nyra believes the Moon Goddess has finally blessed her—mating her to her longtime boyfriend, Prince Dante. It feels like destiny. Until the ceremony begins… and Dante rejects the bond in front of everyone. Then he chooses her sister instead. Broken and humiliated, Nyra is thrown away as a “rejected bond” and handed to the Crown’s most feared enforcer. But the Moon Goddess never makes mistakes… and this bond is only the beginning.

Daniel’s niece, Veronica, was the first to raise her phone and scream. Then cheers followed one after another. “Wow! Veronica is right! I got fifty thousand too!” “Same here! The company really delivered this year!” “Mr. Aster is so generous! Hard work pays off! Let’s make next year even greater!” … One shout of “fifty thousand” after another burst around me like firecrackers. I lowered my head and checked my banking app. It was empty. Just like previous years, there wasn’t a single deposit notification. A tight frustration slowly built in my chest.

He walked straight up to me with his hands tucked into his trouser pockets. “Are you one of those beggars who wait for rich people to run them over so you can drag them to court and sue them for millions, hoping to make a living off them? People like you are pathetic, and I hate your kind so much. Here.” He threw bundles of cash at me. “Take that and feed your poor generation. I know you've never seen that kind of money in your entire life.” I ignored him. I had nothing to say to people like him who looked down on others and thought everyone was after their money.

After I die, I save Hades' pet. To thank me, he plans to bring me back to life. However, I refuse with a smile. He is stunned for a moment, then asks in confusion, "So many people want to live, so why do you refuse instead?" I give him a bitter smile. "Maybe it's because being alive is a fate worse than death." He doesn't believe it, and his tone turns unfriendly. "Don't think I don't know that your parents are famously known for loving their daughter. They even make the news because of how much they love you." I crouch there without speaking. It's indeed true that they've made the news for loving their daughter, but that is all an act. The truth is, the only one they've ever really lo

It was a hot day, with temperatures hitting a scorching 113°F when I was chased out of Nox Suites, the duplex where top celebrities stayed. Indoors, Stan Herbert, A-list star and my showmance partner, was ranting on the phone. "What's the point of a PR relationship with my current popularity?! Taking it into real life? Faking it online for six months was bad enough—you're sending her to my doorstep?! What, is our talent agency a matchmaking agency instead?! You're even sending me some nobody!" Once he hung up, he kicked me out of his door with my luggage, leaving me squatting by a sidewalk as I tried to clean up the mess. Six months ago, I signed a "slave contract" with the agency to try

I don't know why Erbus was immediately interested in what happened decades ago. he was a loyal servant of Alphaking, namely Gray's father, but Alphaking's treatment of Erebus made him dissatisfied, as if Alpha King did not give him more power and strength even though he was his direct nephew, Erebus was Gray's uncle, since then Erebus tries to rebel against Alpha King, he cooperates with the vampires who rebel against Werinta and also some creatures of the underworld. everything was even more complicated when the birth of Gray, a descendant of the Alpha King who had pure werewolf blood and was believed to have great power to lead the next government.

I scoffed. I sat up, swinging my legs off the bed, the cold floor grounded me. I needed to think of what to do next. My next approach was not to hurt them or stoop to their level, But to rise so high they could never touch me again. I would train harder, and get stronger. It would help me earn my place through power they couldn’t deny. And one day… they would look at me with respect. Or fear. I didn’t care, just like how I didn't care about their Luna title.

It has to be a human with these attributes because, while I always rise again, my humans do not. Over time, I’ve realized that when I’m called, there is always a human who stands out to me, one who calls to me in some way or another. This time, when I felt the call to rise, it was Emmi who called to me. She was an orphan, someone who never had a family, but who always stood up for the underdog. She was the one who would walk through the forest and help the creatures who were injured or trapped. They responded to her, as they would have to me, with trust and affection.

As a result only the strongest teams were sent out, and Watchers quit being sighted as much, waiting until only the weakest teams were present to attack. The roads were bumpy and cracked, with weeds peeking up in between. Many times we had an off-roading experience, Todd was great at keeping us undetected usually. Today however, we were sent to find a Nephilim nest with what was suspected to be a Watcher angel in residence as well. The air crackled with nervous energy, everyone on high alert as we saw the base get smaller and smaller in the distance. Liam's arm was wrapped tightly around my waist, pulling me slightly closer and Jason positioned himself in front of me, essentially blocking me
