God Of Last Regret
In his last breath on a blood-soaked black-ops mission, elite agent Kael Voss tasted only betrayal and regret for the innocents lost, for the life he threw away chasing shadows. But death was merely the beginning.
Reborn into a savage realm on the brink of endless war, Kael awakens as the unwilling vessel of Aresion, the long-lost God of War. Gifted with devastating superpowers and a merciless "War System" that levels him up through every kill, conquest, and hard-won secret, he must navigate a world where gods play deadly games and empires rise on broken bones.
Yet the God of War is no mindless destroyer. Ruthless in battle, Kael cuts down tyrants and armies without hesitation only to spare those who earn his hard-won forgiveness, haunted by the ghosts of his past. As a shadow agent for a fractured resistance, he infiltrates enemy lines, unravels the mystery of the fallen pantheon, and confronts the ultimate question: Can a man forged in regret truly break the cycle of violence… or is he destined to

Chapter: Chapter 12: Sylas Joins the MessWe were running low on answers. The War Essence relic helped in small fights, but Lirael kept pushing for more intel on the old gods especially anything tied to “vessels” and broken powers like mine. The System stayed cagey, feeding me bits and pieces that made my headaches worse instead of better. So when word came through one of her shadow contacts about a mage-thief who knew the pantheon better than most, we didn’t have much choice.His name was Sylas Veyra.We found him in a dingy tavern on the edge of a half-ruined border town, the kind of place where people went to disappear. Skinny guy, sharp features, messy dark hair, and fingers that never stopped moving like he was always palming a coin or a spell. He wore a patched cloak that probably had more hidden pockets than sense, and his smile never quite reached his eyes.Lirael did most of the talking at first. “You know the Fallen Wing temple lore. The old alignments. We need that knowledge. Join us, and you get protection. Refuse

Chapter: Chapter 11: Shadow Agent RisingThe cave felt smaller after the ambush. Four empty bedrolls. Four faces I kept seeing every time I closed my eyes. Renn’s betrayal sat in my gut like spoiled meat. I couldn’t fix it, couldn’t take it back. So I did the only thing that made sense I trained like I was trying to punish myself.Dawn to dusk, I pushed. Ran the ravine trails until my bad leg screamed and gave out. Sparred with Garrick until his hammer left bruises I could feel in my bones. Mira drilled me on silent movement, Lirael on poisons and shadows. I took it all. No complaints. The headaches got worse, but I welcomed the pain. It drowned out the guilt for a few hours.“You’re gonna break before you get better,” Mira muttered one evening as I collapsed after another session, chest heaving.“Maybe that’s the point,” I rasped.Garrick just snorted. “At least you’re finally acting like you’ve got sense. Still think you’re too soft, but at least you’re sharpening the edges.”Lirael watched me closest. She didn’t say much,

Chapter: Chapter 10: Mercy’s PriceThe days after the temple run blurred together in a haze of sore muscles and short tempers. We were on the move again, the War Essence relic tucked safely with Lirael, pulsing like a bad secret. Elara had slotted in quick quiet, sharp-eyed, good with that bow. Garrick still grumbled about my “soft skull” every chance he got, but he fought clean beside me. Mira kept her distance, watching. Always watching.It happened on a rainy afternoon while we scouted a supply trail.The imperial scout came stumbling out of the brush with his hands up, uniform torn and muddy. Young guy, maybe twenty-two, no weapons showing. Looked half-starved and scared out of his mind.“Don’t shoot,” he called, voice cracking. “I’m done with them. The Legion… they’re rotting from the inside. I saw what they did to a village last week. I can’t anymore.”Garrick raised his hammer. “Kill him quick. Scouts don’t just defect.”But the kid dropped to his knees in the mud, eyes on me. “You’re the limping one they talk a

Chapter: Chapter 9: Relic HuntThe old temple sat rotting in a fog-filled valley like it was hiding from the world on purpose. Vines strangled the marble columns, thick as a man’s arm in places, and every breath tasted like dust and forgotten spells. The fog didn’t move the way fog should. It just sat there, pooled in the hollows between broken stones, like it was waiting for someone to disturb it.Lirael had picked up rumors from one of her contacts a War Essence relic tucked away inside, something that might give our ragtag group a real edge in the next scrap. She hadn’t said much more than that. Lirael never did. She just laid the information out like cards on a table and let the rest of us decide what to do with it. This time we decided to go in at first light: me, Mira gripping her axe like it owed her money, Garrick muttering curses under his breath about wasted mornings, and a couple of jumpy scouts who flinched every time a bird called from the canopy. Lirael hung back to cover the exit. She was always the

Chapter: Chapter 8: Campfire ConfessionsThe fire crackled low in the deep cut of the ravine, throwing shaky shadows on the rock walls. They’d settled for the night in a tight spot maybe a dozen of them now, the rest of the cell scattered to safer holes. Lirael had ordered no big flames, but they needed the heat after the retreat. The air smelled of damp stone, woodsmoke, and the faint metallic tang of blood that still clung to their clothes. Kael sat on a flat stone, leg stretched out, chewing on a strip of tough jerky that tasted like old boot. His headache had eased to a dull throb, but the new Echo Strike trait still buzzed faintly under his skin like a bad wire, sending occasional phantom twinges through his muscles.Mira poked at the flames with a stick, sending sparks dancing upward into the narrow strip of night sky visible between the ravine walls. Garrick Ironfist sat across from him, beard singed at the edges, nursing a bandaged thigh with a sour look. Lirael kept to the edge of the light, sharpening a dagger with

Chapter: Chapter 7: The Dwarf’s DebtThe Legion came faster than anyone expected.Three days after the outpost job, patrols started sweeping the eastern ridges like angry hornets. That spared kid must’ve sung loud and clear descriptions of the limping demon with the bloody sword had spread. Lirael pulled the whole camp out in a hurry, but the retreat turned ugly quick. Arrows whistled through the trees. Men and women fell screaming. Kael ran with the rest, satchel slung tight, his bad leg burning like fire with every stride.“Keep moving!” Mira shouted ahead of him, axe out and bloody.They were nearly at the narrow gorge that would hide them when a big squad cut them off. Ironfist dwarves, by the look of them stocky, armored in heavy plate, axes and hammers swinging. These weren’t regular Legion grunts. These were the Iron General’s enforcers, the ones who crushed rebellions under their boots.Kael got separated in the chaos. One minute he was covering a wounded scout, the next a massive dwarf barreled straight at him,

BORN A BILLIONAIRE RAISED A NOBODY
He was raised to have nothing but was born to have everything. Now he's working as a security inside the empire that was stolen from him and falling for the one woman he's not allowed to want.
Adrian Cole just learned he's the real Langford heir, switched at birth and erased from his own inheritance. Instead of exposing the truth, he infiltrates the family as their new head of security, patient enough to wait for the right moment to take back what's his. He doesn't expect Mira Langford, overlooked, underestimated, engaged to the brother who took Adrian's place to be the one person who sees him clearly.
When his ex-wife resurfaces with the son he never knew existed, fleeing danger Adrian unknowingly works for, his careful plants starts collapsing in every direction at once. Now he's a father, a fraud, and dangerously in love with a woman he's forbidden to touch and the truth, once it comes out, will cost him everything he's fighting to protect.

Chapter: Chapter Nine: HelenaHelena Langford summoned him the way Adrian imagined she summoned everyone not by asking, exactly, but by having someone else relay the fact that she wanted to see him, leaving no actual room for the word not to occur to anyone involved.It came through Foster, three days after the engagement party, delivered with the particular nervous energy of a man passing along an instruction he didn't fully understand the reasoning behind. "Mrs. Langford wants a word with the new security hire," Foster said, like he'd practiced the sentence on the walk over. "Her office, end of day. Don't know what it's about. Don't ask her what it's about either, unless she brings it up first.""Is that normal? Her wanting to talk to junior staff?""No," Foster said, with the flat honesty of a man too unsettled to dress it up. "It is not normal at all."Her office occupied the far end of the fifteenth floor, past the portrait wall, past the boardroom, in a corner suite with windows on two sides that made the re

Chapter: Chapter Eight: The Engagement PartyThe engagement party was held on the rooftop terrace of a hotel the Langford Group owned outright, which struck Adrian, working perimeter security near the bar setup, as a particularly on-brand way to celebrate a marriage that was itself mostly a real estate transaction with a string quartet attached.He hadn't expected to be assigned to this detail. Foster had pulled him in two days prior, almost apologetically, explaining that the regular events team was short-staffed and that Adrian's "even temperament," a phrase Foster used like he was slightly suspicious of his own compliment, made him a decent fit for standing near rich people without making them nervous. Adrian had said yes the way he said yes to everything lately, with a calm exterior papering over something more complicated underneath.He'd spent the two days beforehand telling himself it was just another shift, a longer one, with better catering and worse parking. He mostly believed it, right up until he arrived and saw the

Chapter: Chapter Seven: The CousinsVictor Langford had a way of entering a room that made you feel, retroactively, like you'd been standing in the wrong spot the entire time he'd been watching you do it.Adrian noticed him before he ever spoke to him noticed him the way you notice weather changing, a pressure shift in a room before the storm actually arrives. Victor was younger than Helena, older than Eli, somewhere in his mid-forties, dressed with the kind of understated precision that made every other expensive suit in the building look slightly loud by comparison. He didn't move through the fifteenth floor so much as audit it, eyes tracking who was where, who was talking to whom, filing it all away behind an expression that gave up almost nothing.He'd heard the name before he ever saw the man Priscilla mentioning it over lunch, a finance assistant complaining once, quietly, about a meeting that had run long because Victor wanted three additional disclosures added to a routine quarterly filing nobody else thought n

Chapter: Chapter 6: EliAdrian saw Eli Langford in person for the first time on a Thursday, through a conference room door someone had forgotten to close all the way, and the sight of him did something unexpected to the careful architecture of anger Adrian had spent weeks building, brick by brick, mostly at night, mostly alone.He'd expected to hate him on sight. He'd half-planned for it, in the abstract way you plan for a reaction you assume is coming told himself, more than once, late at night with the magazine photo still glowing on his phone screen, that whatever he felt when he finally saw Eli in the flesh would probably be ugly, and that he should be ready for it, should have some strategy for keeping his face neutral while something corrosive moved underneath it. He'd even rehearsed, a little, the specific blankness he'd need to hold onto if their paths ever crossed directly, the kind of face you wear in a negotiation when yo

Chapter: Chapter 5: MiraThe second mix-up was worse than the first, and this one was actually his fault.It happened nine days into the job, a Wednesday, the kind of gray afternoon where the building's climate control seemed to be fighting a losing battle against everyone's mood. Adrian had moved up to floor coverage faster than Foster's "prove yourself first" speech had implied, not because he was exceptional, he suspected, but because the last two guys in the rotation had quit within a month of each other and somebody warm-bodied needed to fill the gap. He'd spent the week learning the floor the way he learned everything now, in two parallel tracks running underneath each other: which conference rooms double-booked, which executive assistants actually controlled their bosses' schedules versus which ones just thought they did, and underneath all of that, the track nobody else could see who on this floor might, eventually, hand him a p

Chapter: Chapter 4: Langford TowerThe interview took eleven minutes, which felt insulting given how many nights Adrian had spent not sleeping over whether he'd get it.He'd expected someone from HR, a clipboard, a question about his greatest weakness. Instead he got a man named Foster head of building security operations, mid-fifties, the kind of build that suggested twenty years of gym discipline starting to lose a slow argument with time who barely glanced at the résumé before asking three questions about access control, one about handling a credentialed employee trying to sneak an unauthorized guest past the lobby desk, and then spent the remaining minutes talking about himself."Had a guy two years back," Foster said, leaning back like the interview was already over. "Two tours, thought that meant he could talk to the Langfords like they were his CO. Walked right up to Mrs. Langford in the lobby, started giving her his whole life story." He shook his head.
