BLACK DRAGON CONTRACT

BLACK DRAGON CONTRACT

MANIFESTATION OF THE SYSTEM: LOST MEMORIES AND A SOULLESS THRONE Destruction is zero. The Black Dragon burns, Joker dies, and Sofia is kidnapped. In absolute despair, the System offers its final and most terrifying bargain: unlimited power to save his daughter, at the price of his soul and all his memories of Maria. Marco accepts. He rises, no longer Marco Rossi, but the manifestation of the System itself—a heartless titan, an efficient and brutal engine of vengeance. He rescues Sofia and reclaims his throne, but the victory is hollow. He returns to occupy the throne of the Black Dragon, the absolute and untouchable king. However, before her new ruler, Maria witnesses the monster she created: her husband is gone. She lives in fear and regret, realizing the true cost of the luxury she demanded. Marco has won everything, but lost himself. Tragically, the story is not over. Amidst the emptiness, Maria realizes she is pregnant with their second child—the heir to the Black Dragon's throne, and the inheritor of the System's never-ending curse. BLACK DRAGON CONTRACT, modern epic that redefines the boundaries of love, power, and the price paid when a soul is cashed out. The most tragic ending is not death, but the coldest victory. ---

Chapter: Chapter 85: Joker's Sacrifice
COMMAND CENTER - AEGIS BUNKER - 07:31 AMTime seemed to freeze.Senator Thorne's eyes widened as he stared at Julian's hands tied behind his back. He heard the metallic 'click' the sound of a grenade safety pin being pulled.Julian "Joker" Thorne wasn't smiling anymore. His bloodied face, with its smeared makeup, showed one pure expression: Determination."Catch!" shouted Julian.Julian didn't throw the grenade. His hands were tied. He turned himself into the projectile.With the last remaining strength in his shattered legs, Julian leaped. Not toward Thorne (who was too far away), but toward the cluster of Black Ops soldiers standing between Marco and the exit."BOSS! DOWN!"Marco reacted instantly. He threw himself to the floor, curling up to protect his head.KABOOOOOOOM!The explosion was deafening in the enclosed space.The fragmentation grenade detonated right against Julian's chest as he slammed into the soldiers. Julian's body was obliterated, turning into fragments of flesh a

Chapter: Chapter 84: The Capture of the Dragon
COMMAND CENTER - AEGIS BUNKER - 07:30 AM"SECURE THE TARGETS! HOLD THEM DOWN!"The shout of the Black Ops commander echoed through the steel corridor.Five mercenaries rushed forward, kicking Marco in the back until his face smashed against the hard metal floor.THUD!"Ugh..." Marco groaned, stifled. Fresh blood poured from his broken nose.Marco's arms were yanked back roughly, twisted until his shoulder joints popped. Thick plastic zip-ties bound his wrists so tightly they cut off blood circulation.Beside him, Julian received worse treatment. Since his leg was already severely injured, a soldier stomped on the gunshot wound in his thigh with a combat boot."AAAAARGHH! DAMN IT!" Julian screamed, his body seizing up."Shut up, Clown!" The soldier struck the back of Julian's neck with the butt of his rifle.Julian collapsed, unconscious or pretending to be, blood seeping from his head."Bring them in," ordered Thorne from inside the room. His voice was calm, savoring this show of domi

Chapter: Chapter 83: Thorne's Offer
MAIN COMMAND CENTER ENTRANCE - AEGIS BUNKER07:25 AMThe final blast door was different from the others.No scratches, no rust. Pure titanium steel, half a meter thick, gleaming coldly under the red emergency lights. This was where the heart of Senator Thorne's defense beat.Marco stood three meters in front of the door. The Minigun in his hand was still spinning slowly from residual momentum, its barrels glowing red from friction.Beside him, Julian leaned against the wall, his breathing sounding like a broken whistle."I've got one Uzi mag left," Julian reported, checking his weapon. "And my leg feels like it's been bitten by a shark. But I'm ready to breach, Boss. What's the plan for this door?"Marco didn't answer. He stared at the CCTV camera mounted above the door. The camera lens moved, staring back at him.Marco knew Thorne was behind that door. And he knew Thorne was watching."Open up," Marco said to the camera. His voice was flat, emotionless. "Or I'll blow it up with the r

Chapter: Chapter 82: Nerve Gas Illusion
CORRIDOR TO COMMAND CENTER - AEGIS BUNKER - 07:20 AMMarco stepped over the corpse of the Heavy Gunner. He dragged the six-barreled Minigun, weighing nearly 30 kilograms, with one hand as if it were a plastic toy.Behind him, Julian limped, dragging his severely injured left leg. He was no longer making jokes. Bruno's death had silenced the Clown's laughter."Just one more door, Boss," Julian muttered, pointing to the round blast door at the end of the hall. "Thorne is behind that."Marco didn't answer. He just stared at the door with dead eyes.Suddenly, a faint hissing sound came from the vents in the ceiling.PSSSHHHHHH...Not the sound of AC air. It was the sound of high-pressure gas.A yellowish-green mist began to spew out, filling the corridor rapidly. It smelled sweet, like rotting jasmine flowers."Gas!" shouted Julian, covering his nose and mouth with his suit sleeve. "Don't breathe it in! This isn't tear gas!"Marco was too late to hold his breath. He took one full inhale.

Chapter: Chapter 81: Coridor of Death
SECTOR B HALLWAY - AEGIS BUNKER - 07:15 AMThe corridor was narrow, long, and deadly. The concrete walls were no longer gray but flashed red from the wildly rotating emergency lights. Sirens wailed incessantly, creating a rhythm of panic.Marco, Bruno, and Julian ran down the hallway. Their breathing was ragged, mixed with the screech of boots on the metal floor."We're close!" shouted Marco, looking at the tactical map on his retinal display. "Main control room is at the end of this hall, behind the second blast door!""Finally!" Julian wiped blood from his mouth. "I need a comfy chair."However, as they turned the final corner... hell welcomed them.At the end of the hall, 50 meters ahead, the path was blocked by a barricade of sandbags and steel. Behind the barricade stood a Heavy Gunner in an EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) suit, thick as a walking tank.He held an M134 Minigun with six barrels.The gun's motor spun up. WHIRRRRRRR..."GET BACK!" shouted Bruno.BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT

Chapter: Chapter 80: The Dragon Team Reunion
AEGIS BUNKER GATE - BLAST ZONE - 07:05 AMKABOOOOOM!The world turned orange and black in the blink of an eye.The jet fuel tanker slammed into the steel bunker door with the momentum of thousands of tons. The detonator planted by Julian worked perfectly. The highly flammable fuel ignited, creating a massive fireball that consumed the surrounding oxygen and sent a shockwave flattening trees within a fifty-meter radius.Marco, sheltering behind the wreckage of a destroyed turret, felt the heat of the fire licking his cold face.The ground shook violently. The 30cm thick steel door didn't shatter, but its hinges melted and the frame buckled inward, creating a gaping hole filled with thick black smoke."YUHUUU! BBQ TIME!"Julian's scream pierced through the smoke.Julian landed with a roll (a bit awkwardly due to his bandaged leg) on the scorched grass. He had jumped from the truck exactly two seconds before impact. His purple suit was now black with soot, his face smudged, but his eyes
