The Demon King Who Raised A Hero
Reborn into a noble family, Kael Varyn awakens with the memories of his former life as the Demon King—slain by the legendary hero before he could stop a divine catastrophe. Branded evil by history, Kael now hides his demonic soul while preparing for the disaster that is rapidly approaching.
Fate twists cruelly when Kael discovers that his younger brother, Eron Varyn, is the reincarnation of the very hero who killed him. Eron remembers nothing of his past life, but his divine talent awakens faster each day.
Forced to become his mentor, Kael walks a deadly line: raising the hero strong enough to challenge the gods while hiding the truth that could get him executed by churches—or slain by his own brother.
As a false Demon King rules under divine command and the gods tighten their grip on the world, Kael must decide how far he’s willing to go. To save the world, he may have to become the monster everyone fears once more.

Chapter: Chapter 87 — The Weight of a NameThe demonic eye beneath House Varyn did not blink. It opened slowly in the fractured darkness below the estate, massive and ancient, its pupil vertical and black as a void without stars. Cracks spread across the underground chamber walls as dust and fragments of stone fell into the abyss surrounding it.Above, in the grand hall, the marble floor continued to split. Servants screamed, and Knights raised their weapons.The High Inquisitor lifted her staff and released a burst of golden light into the widening fracture, but the light did not close it. The divine energy merely illuminated what was already there.Eron stood frozen, his chest burning.“It is old,” he said quietly.Valther pulled him back.“Yes,” Valther replied, his voice tight. “It is older than this house.”Lady Seris Varyn did not step away.She stood directly above the fracture, her gaze steady despite the trembling ground.“I told him it would not hold forever,” she whispered.The High Inquisitor turned sharply.“You k

Chapter: Chapter 86 — The House Under ShadowMorning came slowly to House Varyn. The estate stood on the western edge of the capital, surrounded by stone walls and old cedar trees that had grown there for generations. Servants moved quietly through the halls, unaware that the air itself carried tension like a distant storm.Inside his private chamber, Kael’s mother sat at a writing desk near the window.Lady Seris Varyn had not slept. She held a sealed letter in her hand, turning it slowly between her fingers as sunlight crept across the wooden floor. The wax bore the unmistakable crest of the Church.She already knew what it contained. She had known the moment the messenger arrived at dawn. A soft knock came at the door. “Enter,” she said.A steward stepped inside and bowed. “My lady, Church officials have arrived at the outer gate,” he said.Seris closed her eyes briefly.“So it begins,” she replied.At the estate gates, six Church knights stood beside two inquisitors dressed in pale ceremonial robes. Their presence alone cause

Chapter: Chapter 85 — The Distance Between Faith and TruthThe forest clearing remained quiet long after Kael vanished. Wind moved gently through the trees, but no one spoke. The Church knights stood uncertainly, their formation broken by what they had witnessed. The inquisitors whispered among themselves, recording every detail of the confrontation.Eron lay on the grass, staring at the space where Kael had stood.His chest still hurts.The divine sigil burned steadily beneath his skin, glowing through the thin fabric of his shirt. Each pulse felt like a hand tugging at his soul.Valther approached slowly.“Eron,” he said.Eron did not respond immediately.Valther knelt beside him.“Can you stand?” Valther asked.Eron finally looked at him.“Yes,” Eron replied, though his voice was weak.Valther helped him sit upright.“You should not have moved during divine awakening,” Valther said gently.Eron shook his head.“I could not let them take him,” Eron replied.Valther sighed.“He is already gone,” Valther said.Eron’s eyes hardened slightly.“

Chapter: Chapter 84 — Branded HereticThe forest clearing became silent after Kael stopped running. Church knights approached slowly through the trees, forming a tightening circle around him and Eron. Their armor reflected the faint gold light filtering down from the heavens, and their weapons trembled in their hands despite their training.Kael stood still. Eron remained in his arms, weak but awake and the divine glow in the sky flickered like a watchful eye. No one moved first. Valther stepped forward cautiously. “Kael,” he said. “Do not make this worse.”Kael’s voice was steady.“You already know I cannot surrender,” Kael replied.Valther’s expression hardened with pain rather than anger.“The Church must protect the hero,” Valther said.Kael answered immediately.“That is exactly what I am doing.”Eron shifted weakly.“Father Valther… please,” Eron said. Valther’s gaze softened for a moment, but it did not last.“I believe you trust him,” Valther said to Eron. “But trust alone cannot silence what we witnessed.”Eron tried

Chapter: Chapter 83 — The First SuspectDawn came slowly over the capital, but the city did not wake normally. Smoke still drifted above the cathedral district. The once-sacred structure now stood half-collapsed, its white stone blackened by divine fire and something darker that no priest wished to name aloud.Whispers spread faster than light. People spoke in quiet voices in markets, in alleys, and behind closed doors. Every rumor carried the same question.Who survived the divine descent? And more importantly, who caused it?Inside the temporary council chamber of the Church, tension filled the air like a coming storm.Priest Valther stood before a long stone table where senior clergy gathered. Their robes rustled softly as they shifted uneasily.“The divine avatar has withdrawn,” Valther said carefully. “The hero remains alive.”A wave of relief passed through the room. One bishop leaned forward. “And the anomaly?” he asked.Valther hesitated.“The anomaly escaped the cathedral with the hero,” Valther said.Silence follow

Chapter: Chapter 82 — Flight Beneath Falling HeavenThe cathedral ceiling continued to fracture as divine light forced its way into the mortal world.Stone groaned like a wounded beast. Long cracks spread across the painted dome, splitting saints and scripture apart as golden radiance poured through widening gaps.Kael did not hesitate. He lifted Eron into his arms.Eron’s body felt fragile, yet impossibly heavy at the same time, as if the divine sigil burning on his chest weighed more than flesh and bone should allow. The boy’s breathing was uneven, and his fingers still clutched Kael’s sleeve weakly.“Stay conscious,” Kael said quietly.Eron tried to respond, but only a faint sound escaped his throat.The divine voice echoed again above them.“Judgment descending.”The pressure in the cathedral increased until even the stone pillars began to bend.Priests fell to their knees.Knights dropped their weapons.Valther struggled to remain standing.“You cannot escape divine judgment,” Valther said, though his voice trembled.Kael looked a

The Billionaire's Shadow Rise Of The Forgotten Heir
Luther Cain was the long-lost heir to Cain Global, a billionaire empire run by a father who would do anything to keep power. Luther is framed, disowned, and forced to go into hiding. He disappears from the world and is thought to be dead.
But he trains, learns, and builds the Shadow Syndicate in secret. This is a secret network that can take down the most powerful people. He thinks carefully about every move he makes, every alliance is a weapon, and every betrayal makes him want to get his legacy back.
Celeste, his childhood friend and ally, breaks free from her father's grip and joins Luther's mission. She risks everything to tell the truth about the dark side of the Cain empire. Luther learns that beating his enemies is just the beginning; staying alive in the chaos he has caused will be much harder. Corporate wars turn into street fights, and ambition and family loyalty are at odds with each other.
In a world where power can bend reality and secrets are worth killing for, Luther’s rise from the shadows becomes more than a fight for inheritance it’s a war against fate itself.

Chapter: CHAPTER 163 — THE GIRL WHO NEVER MET HIMCeleste Cain had always trusted patterns.People revealed themselves in habits—what they avoided, what they repeated, what they pretended not to notice. That belief had guided her career, her distance from her family, her quiet insistence on living a life that felt earned rather than inherited.It was why the unease unsettled her so deeply.She stood at the window of her office overlooking the city, coffee cooling in her hand, watching traffic flow too smoothly. Not efficiently—obediently. The light changed. Cars moved. Pedestrians crossed. Every rhythm felt rehearsed.She pressed her fingers against the glass.Something is missing, she thought.The thought had no shape. No memory attached. Just absence.Her assistant knocked lightly. “Ms. Cain? The board call is starting.”Celeste nodded, forcing a smile. “I’ll be right there.”Cain.The name still tasted strange sometimes. She used it professionally, nothing more. Victor Cain was a name on legal documents, an absence in her life. De

Chapter: CHAPTER 162 — WHAT REMAINSThe world did not collapse all at once.It peeled.Luther stood at the center of it, breath tearing from his chest as the false timeline shredded outward like cheap fabric. Buildings didn’t explode—they unregistered. Streets rewound into scaffolding, people flattened into data silhouettes before dissolving entirely.Victor watched from a distance, his form sharpening as the illusion died.“You see now,” Victor said calmly. “Why do I have to do it?”The void receded and reality reasserted itself.Luther staggered forward and nearly fell.The city was still there.But it was wrong.Skylines leaned at impossible angles, held together by brute probability rather than physics. Whole districts pulsed with artificial calm—people walking in perfect loops, faces slack, eyes faintly glowing as stabilizer waves washed over them.This wasn’t peace.It was enforced quiet.Luther felt the Gene surge violently in response, screaming against the compression. Every step he took revealed layers beneath

Chapter: CHAPTER 161 — THE PROBABILITY VOIDLuther woke to silence so complete it felt engineered.No alarms.No hum of machines.No pressure of the thread pulling at his thoughts.For a long moment, he didn’t move. Instinct told him that moving might fracture something fragile like the surface of water frozen thin.When he finally sat up, the first thing he noticed was gravity.Normal. Stable. No probability drift. No resistance.The second thing he noticed was the room.It was a small apartment. Clean, lived-in. Morning light filtered through half-drawn blinds, cutting the space into pale rectangles. A coffee mug sat on the counter. A jacket draped over a chair.None of it felt wrong.That terrified him.Luther swung his legs off the bed, heart pounding. His body felt… ordinary. No internal pressure. No Gene surge humming under his skin. No constant awareness of branching outcomes.He stood and nearly stumbled.“I’m dreaming,” he muttered.The words didn’t echo. Didn’t dissolve.They just… existed.He moved to the mirror over

Chapter: Chapter 160: The Cost of Holding EverythingCeleste entered the convergence node alone.The structure wasn’t a room in any normal sense. It was a pressure point where the world thinned, where reality bent inward instead of outward. The air vibrated faintly, like something massive breathing just out of sight.Selene’s voice crackled in her ear. “Celeste, once you cross the threshold, I can’t pull you back. Genesis doesn’t exist anymore but its bones do.”“I know,” Celeste said.Marcus tried one last time. “If this turns into a forced resolution...”“I won’t let it,” she said quietly.Then she stepped forward.The world inverted.Luther felt her before he saw her.The strain eased for a fraction of a second, like a knot loosening just enough to breathe. He had learned to recognize every kind of pressure the thread carried—fear, hope, indecision—but Celeste’s presence cut through all of it with terrifying clarity.“Celeste,” he said.She stood across from him, impossibly solid in a place that barely tolerated existence. Her face w

Chapter: Chapter 159: The Choice That Should Not ExistGenesis did not hesitate because it felt mercy.It hesitated because it had never been designed for this.Two anchors.Two wills holding the same thread.The system convulsed, layers of probability grinding against one another like tectonic plates. Luther felt it as pressure behind his eyes, in his chest, down his spine—every possible future screaming to be resolved.Celeste’s hand was still in his.Solid. Real.Not data. Not simulation.“You shouldn’t be here,” Luther said, voice strained but steady. “This place eats people.”Celeste tightened her grip. “So does the world you’ve been protecting alone.”Revenant stood several steps back, half-lit by cascading system code, watching the unraveling loom with naked calculation. “Genesis is recalculating anchor hierarchy,” they said. “It’s trying to decide which of you it can afford to lose.”Victor’s presence surged beneath them like a rising tide.REMOVE THE WEAKER VARIABLE, Victor thundered through the system.THE HEIR MUST STAND ALONE.

Chapter: Chapter 158: The Thread That Refused to DieThe city was quiet in a way that felt unnatural.No alarms. No emergency broadcasts. No screaming feeds looping catastrophe. Just a dull hum as systems restarted and people tried to understand why they were still alive.Celeste stood on the observation deck overlooking the skyline, her hands braced on the glass. Cain Tower still burned in the distance, its upper spire half-collapsed, smoke bleeding into the morning sky.Luther should have been here.Selene broke the silence behind her. “Every public system is stabilizing. Gene surges are down to baseline. Phase Three is… dormant.”Marcus turned sharply. “Dormant isn’t dead.”“No,” Selene agreed. “It’s waiting.”Celeste didn’t turn. “And Luther?”Selene hesitated too long.Marcus clenched his jaw. “Say it.”Selene swallowed. “Genesis shows no active human anchor. But...” she exhaled “...there’s a persistent anomaly in the core architecture.”Celeste finally faced her. “What kind of anomaly?”Selene pulled the data onto the main screen.
