Supreme Demon Emperor Returns
Betrayal was shattered and discarded like trash into the depths of a ravine. Xavier Aristhos rose from death through a blood contract with the demon Morax. He returned to New York not to claim his inheritance, but to demand lives, with hell's power throbbing in his veins.
By day, he was the elegant CEO of Umbra Capital, dominating Wall Street with icy precision. But by night, he was the Supreme Demon, harvesting the souls of sinners. Without mercy, Xavier dismantled the Aristhos dynasty from within, forcing his stepmother and stepbrother to crawl and beg for forgiveness before dragging their filthy souls into the grave.
To protect Livia, the only light remaining to him, Xavier willingly cast aside his humanity. He became a lonely guardian god lurking in the shadows of New York's glass towers. He would not stop until all his enemies knelt and felt the sting of the betrayal he had endured.
"Your style may be elite, but before me, your soul is nothing but cheap trash."

Chapter: 29. Negotiation on the Edge of a KnifeThe atmosphere in the living room froze. The air felt incredibly heavy and tense.Audrey stared sharply at the small blue light blinking on the side of her laptop. Her genius brain instantly connected every point of irregularity. She took one step back. Her hand felt for the small drawer in the table near the hallway to the bathroom. She pulled the drawer open quickly.She pulled out a small, silver twenty-two caliber pistol. It was an emergency weapon given to her by her late father.Audrey aimed the muzzle of the pistol straight at Kai's chest. The girl's hand was trembling. Yet her gaze radiated not a shred of hesitation."Step away from my desk right now," Audrey commanded. Her tone shook but was laden with a lethal threat. "What did you plug into my laptop?"Kai was not surprised to see the firearm. Nor did he react with panic.Kai turned his head very slowly. His aristocratic face remained as cold as a sculpture of ice. His blue eyes looked at Audrey devoid of any emotional expr

Chapter: 28. A Lie Wrapped in SteelThe heavy door of the luxury apartment swung shut with a sharp, echoing click.Kai stepped inside first, moving ahead of Audrey. He moved with the absolute, terrifying silence of an apex predator. His dark eyes methodically swept across every single corner of the expansive living room. He meticulously checked behind the window curtains, quickly cleared the kitchen hallway, and made absolutely sure there were no dangerous blind spots hiding any potential threats.Audrey stood rigidly near the entrance. Her body was still trembling slightly. She dropped her leather bag onto the glass coffee table with stiff, robotic movements."The area is completely clean," Kai reported in a flat, emotionless tone. He turned around to face Audrey. "You are perfectly safe for the time being."Audrey collapsed heavily onto the plush sofa. She massaged her violently throbbing temples with both hands. Thick droplets of fresh blood from the mercenary leader were still splattered across the hem of her white

Chapter: 27. An Encounter on the Ground FloorThe air in the luxury apartment's underground parking garage felt incredibly stifling.Audrey Vance walked quickly past rows of neatly parked cars. The sharp click of her high heels echoed, shattering the silence. Her right hand tightly gripped the strap of the black leather bag on her shoulder. Inside that bag was a high-capacity data server. It contained copies of all her father's secret files.She had just come down from her top-floor apartment. Her instincts told her that her place was no longer safe after the tracing incident earlier. She planned to move to a safe house owned by her law firm.Audrey arrived in front of her silver sedan. She pressed the unlock button on her key fob. The car's lights flashed yellow.Suddenly, the harsh roar of a car engine echoed from the parking garage entrance.A black, unmarked SUV sped inside, crashing right through the automated barrier. The massive vehicle slammed on its brakes, skidding to a halt directly behind Audrey's car. The tires shrie

Chapter: 26. Targeting the Wrong MarkHeavy rain continued to batter New York City without mercy. Lightning flashed, tearing through the night sky. The rumble of thunder drowned out the blaring car horns on the streets below.Inside the luxurious Aristhos Residence, the atmosphere was incredibly cold and tense.Isabella Aristhos stood in front of the large window in her study. Her blood-red silk dress swept the marble floor. She stared at the raindrops hitting the glass with a remarkably hard expression.In her hand, she held a smartphone connected to an encrypted line."You heard my orders, correct?" Isabella hissed into the phone. Her elegant voice had vanished completely. She sounded like a ruthless street thug. "I don't care what your fee is. I want that girl dead tonight."A raspy laugh came from the other end of the line. "Assassinating the daughter of a former Aristhos board member? That is not a cheap job, Mrs. Isabella. Especially when her father was just buried this afternoon.""I will pay triple your usual rate

Chapter: 25. The Scent of a Digital TrailAudrey Vance slammed her apartment door shut. She locked the three heavy steel deadbolts on the main door. She was gasping for breath.The heavy rain outside pelted the giant glass windows of her luxurious Manhattan apartment. Audrey took off her wet black coat. She threw the coat carelessly onto the sofa.She walked quickly toward her desk. Her eyes were swollen but her gaze was incredibly sharp.Audrey placed a leather briefcase on the desk. She pulled out her father's thick laptop. It was a military-grade security laptop that she had secretly taken from Richard Vance's office before the police confiscated everything."You did not die from a heart attack, Dad," Audrey whispered, her voice trembling. "I will prove everything tonight."Audrey turned on the digital voice recorder on her desk. She always documented every step of her investigations."Audit log, day one," Audrey said into the voice recorder. "Focus of the investigation is on the consecutive deaths of the Aristhos Corp boa

THE VARIANT: ZERO HOUR
The apocalypse didn’t fall from the sky. It was born from a needle in a quiet hospital hallway.
Kang Jaemin was just a brother trying to keep his younger sibling safe when the world suddenly ended. But that one good deed cost him everything when a monster's teeth tore into his arm. Waiting for the end, Jaemin didn’t die. Instead, something else took root. He became "Specimen Alpha" a new breed of predator, half-man, half-monster, with the power to crush steel and an instinct for the hunt that was second to none.

Chapter: 12. THE BLACK BROADCAST"Anything that blocks our path gets completely mutilated."Jaemin's words hung in the freezing air, sending a violent shiver straight down Jinwoo's spine. The young man's silver eyes no longer radiated a single ounce of hesitation; they burned with the pure, unadulterated resolve of a predator absolutely prepared to slaughter anything to protect his pack.Jinwoo let out a harsh, heavy breath, rolling his neck until the joints popped with a loud crack. "Alright, mutilation it is. Am I supposed to hold their legs down or what? Because I only have exactly four bullets left. If we have to hack our way through the infected using your little kitchen knife, our stamina will completely run out before we even reach the damn stairs.""Save your complaining, Officer," Min-Ji interrupted sharply. The former fixer was already aggressively emptying the contents of her tactical bag onto the floor. "We have ninety minutes. The military is going to drop Napalm missiles directly onto our heads.

Chapter: 11. THE MOTHER'S TRAGEDYRing! Ring! The cheerfully shrill K-Pop ringtone felt exactly like a razor blade slicing through the middle of a room that reeked of fresh blood."Turn it off or answer it, you bastard! It's too fucking loud!" Jinwoo yelled in a panic, his eyes glaring at the phone in Jaemin's hand. "Do you want to invite every single monster on the third floor over here?!""Throw the phone out the window! Right fucking now!" Min-Ji aimed her pistol directly at the device. "If you won't throw it, I will shoot the damn thing to pieces!""Shut the hell up, both of you! It is my mom!" Jaemin snapped. His voice trembled violently. His index finger, smeared with thick black blood, hovered hesitantly over the screen. "I have to answer it. She must be waiting for me and Jihoon!""Jaemin." Jihoon tugged at the edge of his older brother's shirt. The young boy's eyes sparkled with desperate hope. "Is that Mom? She is coming to get us, right?"Jaemin swallowed hard, the lump in his throat feeling exactly like a

Chapter: 10. SHOVING THE BEAST"MMMPHHH! MMMMMPPHHH!"Minseok’s screams were muffled by the black duct tape over his mouth, turning into a deafening, nasal howl. The middle-aged man's eyes bulged as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.The teeth of the woman in the white blouse, now fully mutated, had sunk deep into Minseok's right shoulder. The doctor's white coat was torn like wet paper. The sickening sound of flesh being chewed alive and cartilage snapping echoed in the cramped four-by-four-meter room. Fresh blood sprayed out, drenching Minseok's face and splattering the metal shelves behind him."Son of a bitch! Get off him, you pig!" Jaemin cursed.He didn't give a damn about Minseok himself, but if the old man died, any information about the virus would be lost forever. Jaemin grabbed a folded metal chair from near the desk and raised it high.Min-Ji, standing nearby, had already raised her Glock 19, ready to pull the trigger and put a bullet straight into the female monster's head."Don't shoot, w

Chapter: 9. THE UNINVITED GUEST FROM THE FOURTH FLOOR"Liar."The one word from Min-Ji was ice cold, freezing the air in the Archive Room. The barrel of her Glock 19 was locked dead straight, just an inch from the forehead of the woman who had just crashed through their window.The woman, whose white office blouse was now stained a deep crimson, trembled violently. Her hair was a mess, riddled with shards of glass. She was sobbing, raising her shaking, blood-covered hands in front of her face."I-I swear! I’m a doctor on duty from the fourth floor. I-I just slipped and fell trying to escape from the balcony upstairs. They broke down my door. Please, don't kill me," the woman pleaded, her voice shattered by heart-wrenching cries.Jaemin, still standing guard over Jihoon behind him, watched her with uncertainty. His mind was racing. On one hand, his survival instinct was screaming that something was wrong. On the other hand, seeing the woman begging for her life reminded him of his own mother, who had probably begged just like this before

Chapter: 8. THE CAFETERIA BUTCHER"GRAAAAAARRGHH!"The zombie nurse’s hoarse scream exploded directly in Jaemin’s face. There was zero space between them. The stench of its breath, a foul mix of rotting flesh and rubbing alcohol, assaulted his nostrils, making Jaemin want to puke on the spot.Inside this two-by-two-foot zinc duct, there was no room to dodge. No room to run."Shoot, Jinwoo! Fucking shoot!" Jaemin shrieked in panic, his hands braced against the nurse's shoulders as it crawled toward him like a giant centipede. Its black fingernails clawed at his arms."I can't, wtf! If this revolver goes off in a narrow pipe, it'll blow out our eardrums and the whole damn hospital will know we're here!" Jinwoo shot back from behind, his voice tight with his own panic. The cramped space made his gun completely useless. "Move aside a little, Jaem! Let me stab it in the eye with my knife!""How the hell am I supposed to move, you asshole?! This is a pipe, not a freeway!"The mutant nurse snapped its dislocated jaw, its tee

Chapter: 7. HALLUCINATIONS OF HUNGER AND THIRSTThe second morning in hell.The cramped Archive Room now felt like a giant oven. With the AC out and no proper ventilation since the power died last night, the air inside had turned stifling and toxic. The smell of sour sweat, the metallic tang of dried blood, and the dust from old medical records all mixed into one, assaulting their nostrils and making them sick.Morning sunlight only filtered in timidly through a small gap above a steel shelf, providing just enough dim light to see the misery on each other’s faces.In a corner of the room, Jaemin sat slumped against the wall, his face a mess. His shirt was sticky with sweat and blood. But it wasn't his own wounds that were driving him crazy this morning; it was the sight of the boy in his lap.Jihoon was shivering violently. The twelve-year-old’s lips were severely chapped, his face was deathly pale, and beads of cold sweat the size of corn kernels dotted his forehead."Jaemin, I'm thirsty," Jihoon mumbled deliriously, his voice bar
