Dominance of the Forgotten God of War
Alex Verlaine was a walking, talking blood-bag who only existed to donate plasma to his ailing brother-in-law. His selfless love for his wife is repaid by betrayal and his sacrifices mocked and ridiculed by his mother-in-law.
But when Alex discovers his wife never loved him and is already in the arms of another man, he casts his veil aside and reveals his true identity as the Legendary Miracle Maker.
They treated him like a servant, now he is back to make them kneel like slaves.
They called him a penniless loser, only to discover that he was the wealthiest man in Alexandria.
"Just who are you really?" Felicia asked in a trembling voice, her face rapidly losing color.
Alex looked into her hazel eyes and breathed like a man possessed, "I am the God you will kneel to from tonight, or watch your whole world burn to ash. I am Alexandria's beating heart, and the only one who can save your dying brother."
Felicia clasped her hands, falling to her knees in submission. "Please forgive me. I was wrong to insult you. My family needs you. Please give me another chance!"
Alex grabbed her face, squeezing her flushed cheeks, and whispered in a husky voice, "Then beg me like you mean it!"

Chapter: 548. Reclamation DayThe sparks of rebellion had died with the impeachment of the corrupt President, but the embers of vengeance were still alive in the people’s hearts.All these years, Valheim had been siphoning off Alexandria’s resources and corrupting every institution in the country to destroy the nation from within.But now the God of War had returned from his grave, the people were ready to reclaim their freedom.Alexandria had lost 3 major islands after the last major conflict and was forced to cede 15% of their territory to the enemy.Valheim’s troops had captured the military bases in Nusca, Lemora, and Rovenia.And the two Generals whom Xander Payne had trusted with his life had joined hands with the enemy.Even though the air force and the navy were now under the new President’s control, the army still remained out of reach.And Alex knew he needed loyal soldiers if they were to push Valheim back and defend their territory.The first thing Alex did after getting down from the podium was to app

Chapter: 547. Reborn from the Ashes!Commander Xander Payne!That name had almost been forgotten.The hero who had once saved Alexandria during her darkest and most desperate days had faded into the pages of history.But all the people of Alexandria needed was a reminder.And now that the same man stood before them in his old uniform, radiating the aura of a true Demigod, the past seemed to come back alive.Millions felt something reawaken inside them as they heard that same voice they had last heard shouting over the loudspeakers and radios, urging them to fight for freedom.Three years had rolled by in a hurry, and they had made peace with the fact that their hero had perished in battle.But now that the martyr had returned from beyond the grave, the citizens of Alexandria felt their hopes reigniting inside their hearts.“I know this must come as a shock to you all. I was supposed to be dead, but here I am, standing before you in flesh and bone,” Alex continued in a heavy voice and spread out his arms. “I didn’t die th

Chapter: 546. Declaration of War!The next day, complete chaos broke out in Valheim as President Igor received distressing news from his Minister of Defense, Yosef Kuroshev.“Sergei hasn’t been answering any of our texts, and I can’t get him or any of our commandos on the comms. They have all gone off the grid. And their last known location was Santini.”“It’s a part of Alexandria!” The President muttered, gnashing his teeth. “Sergei was supposed to make a nuclear deal with Kronos Tech and hunt down Commander Xander Payne.”“I think it’s safe to assume the deal didn’t go well. Commander Payne isn’t some fox we can hunt with bait. If it really is him, we all know what he is capable of.”“What are you trying to say?” Igor thundered. “Stop talking in riddles and spit it out!”“I think Sergei and his team are dead. I think they walked right into a trap,” Yosef replied, bowing his head. “After what happened with President Sebastian and his ministers, we never should have trusted another Alexandrian. They set us up!”Presid

Chapter: 545. The God of War!“What the hell are you talking—”Sergei’s words caught in his throat as Alex’s bright blue eyes blazed with righteous fury, and an unnatural aura exuded from his body, stirring up a dust storm around him.In the fading light of the veiled new moon, Sergei beheld the scarred face of a veteran who had won hundreds of battles in his life.“There is no Alex Verlaine. There never was. I am the one you tried to bury three years ago. But not even death could keep me away from my country. You now stand before Xander Payne, the beating heart of Alexandria. Prepare to face your judgment!”As Alex’s words boomed across the island, Sergei heard the Supreme Commander’s voice and shuddered in pure terror.“No…It can’t be…Commander Payne is dead! He was killed in the bioweapon attack!”“I admit I should have died that very night. But the virus didn’t kill me. Instead, it only stripped me of my powers,” Alex replied, clenching his fist. “But things have changed now. I no longer need to hide behind a

Chapter: 544. The Devil and the DealbreakerThe next day at 1700 hours, as the sun dipped below the horizon, Sergei Zharkov’s private jet landed in Santini, followed by ten armed choppers carrying elite members of the Red Jackets.Samantha Atkins was the one who received them this time, accompanied by a team of nuclear scientists and engineers.“Welcome to Santini, Mr. Zharkov. I am Samantha Atkins, the acting CEO of Kronos Tech. And this is the team behind our nuclear success. I hope we can conclude the deal today.”“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Atkins,” Sergei replied, looking around distractedly. “I don’t see your boss around. Is Mr. Verlaine not here yet?”“He will be joining us shortly. In the meantime, he has asked me to give you a tour.”Samantha showed Sergei around, offering him a chance to view the Stealth Bomber they had used to test the first nuke, and after that, she showed him their crowning jewel—the 15 Megaton nuclear warhead, which was attached to an advanced long-range ICBM.“Very impressive, Ms. Atkins.

Chapter: 543. A New World OrderPresident Sebastian was duly impeached with the complete support of the entire parliament, and his cabinet was subsequently dissolved.All the ministers who had sided with Valheim and conspired against Alexandria’s national interests were put on trial for high treason and corruption.Backed by Alex’s influential contacts, the Old Revolutionary Party returned to power, and Elaine Braithwaite was elected as the new head of state.Replacing the old President was the first step of the plan, and once Elaine took over the reins, a new cabinet was formed, consisting of ministers handpicked by Alex himself.With all the traitors either eliminated or removed from their positions of power, Alexandria took a step in a new direction.As soon as Elaine Braithwaite was sworn in as the new President, he promised to right the wrongs of his predecessor.His first order shook the whole international community.Billions around the world watched the speech live, and Elaine made no effort to hold back.“A

Chapter: A delicate friendshipAs Zi Han and his friends left the restaurant, Feng Xiao thanked him for the treat and wished him good luck for this upcoming match. “I am confident that you can pull off another magnificent win, but you must find your edge before the match begins,” he advised, before bidding him good night.Once the boys had left, Bridgette and Daisy cosied up to Zi Han again.“It’s already too late. My house is pretty far from here,” Bridgette said, making a puppy face at him. “You wouldn’t mind if we spent the night at your place, would you?”“I…could just drop you off if you—”“I told you he doesn’t consider us as his friends,” Daisy cut in, pulling Bridgette by her arm. “Zi Han still thinks we are trying to take advantage of his kindness.”“I understand.” Bridgette looked away and turned to go. “Wait. It’s nothing like that!” Zi Han called them back. “You can stay the night. I have plenty of extra rooms at my place.”Bridgette smiled faintly, with her back still toward Zi Han. Her act had foole

Chapter: The Oriental ConnectionZi Han read the name again before glancing at the details scribbled under it. Ingrid wasn’t just a smart businesswoman, but a cultivator as well. And shockingly enough, her Sacred Art was also Elemental Manipulation.“Do you know why I asked Bridgette to suggest this restaurant for our celebration?” Feng Xiao asked.Zi Han’s brow furrowed, and his voice turned dead serious as he looked at Feng Xiao. “Why?”Feng Xiao leaned over the table and whispered, “Because your opponent owns Oriental Delights. She uses the restaurant to source rare ingredients required for brewing her most potent potions. It’s an easy way to keep things out of the public eye and conduct business with utmost secrecy.”Zi Han couldn’t believe that Ingrid not only owned a restaurant in Zhuxin but also carried out her secret business deals right under their noses. It was just the perfect front for smuggling rare herbs and spices without causing a stir.All this new information made Zi Han realize that even though the

Chapter: Flipping the scriptLisa’s wild accusation infuriated the manager. He couldn’t believe a mere waitress like her could insult such a high-profile customer.“That's enough! You’re fired! Don’t freaking show your face in this restaurant again!” he shouted, showing her the door.“But I did read them the menu!” Lisa cried out indignantly. “Just listen to her lie. She has been standing here like a mute mannequin for ten minutes now,” Bridgette joined in, taking Zi Han’s side. More than defending her friend, she enjoyed watching the lowly waitress make a fool of herself in front of the manager.Even Yutai and Lefan got in on the game without any invitation.“I don’t think a waitress has been this rude to us before,” Yutai said.“Perhaps she is too lazy to attend tables,” Lefan quipped. “I am surprised more people haven’t complained about her till now.”Seeing all her friends joining the fun, even Daisy got down and dirty.“You should teach your waitress how to behave with customers. She is the most obnoxious an

Chapter: What goes around, comes around“Why the hell are you staring at Han like you’ve never seen a good-looking guy in your whole life?” Daisy scoffed, giving Lisa the condescending side-eye.Bridgette noticed Lisa’s shell-shocked expression as well. But she couldn’t tell if she was genuinely astounded by Zi Han’s appearance or if it was something else.“Hello!” She snapped her fingers in front of Lisa. “Aren’t you supposed to greet the guests and guide them to their table?”“I think this one is still under training,” Yutai sneered. “We should ask for another waitress who knows basic etiquette.”Lisa quickly came back to her senses and snapped out of her stupor. “I am so sorry. I just thought your friend looked awfully familiar to someone I used to know.”“Who was this friend of yours?” Zi Han asked, stepping forward. “Tell me about this friend. Did he used to work here with you?”At first, Lisa had thought she was just thinking too much, but hearing Zi Han’s voice, she realized it wasn’t a case of mistaken identity. This

Chapter: A dish best served coldBefore the next lecture could start, Zi Han excused himself and walked out of the classroom. Making his way to a quiet corner overlooking the cafeteria, he dialed Chef Roland’s number.“Hello. Who is this?”Since Zi Han had switched to a private number, the chef had no idea who was calling. However, since the name was hidden, he automatically assumed it was someone important.“Hello? Can you hear me?” he repeated. “I am Chef Roland Jenkins from Oriental Delights. How may I help you today?”Zi Han waited a while longer, testing the man’s patience just for fun.“I am going to disconnect if you have nothing to say. It’s the middle of the day. We are awfully busy here, so please—”“Good afternoon, Mr. Roland,” Zi Han spoke at last. “I was hoping to make a reservation at your restaurant. I hear it’s a pretty upscale establishment.”The head chef cleared his throat and put on his best behaviour.“You have heard right, sir. Oriental Delights is among the best fine dining experiences in the ci

Chapter: Campus HeartthrobThe next day, as Zi Han returned to college, the whole campus greeted him with roaring cheers and a loud round of applause. By defeating the cultivator from the School of Lunging Shadows, he had brought honor to the entire college and proved his worth as a martial artist.Even the principal came out to greet him with a friendly smile. “That was some incredible performance. The best I have seen in years,” he said, shaking Zi Han’s hand. “We are honoured to have a cultivator like you study in the Argos College of Commerce. You have already made our hearts swell with pride, but I am confident you are made for even greater things.”“I just did my best,” Zi Han replied politely, showing little emotion.This gesture broadened the principal’s smile, and he patted Zi Han on his shoulder. “I like your confidence. Keep training, and the college promises to support you in every way possible. You can skip your lectures whenever you deem fit, and I will find someone to do your assignments as well.

Chapter: Choose your fate“I never really thought the boy had it in him to keep going after he lost his home,” someone observed in a calm, benevolent voice. “I must admit his resilience is quite impressive for a mortal. Were it anyone else in his shoes, the ending would have been a lot different.”“I knew there was something about him right from the day he was born. Alas, his mother never got the chance to see him grow up,” a feminine voice stated wistfully. “The question remains, what must we do with him now?” the male voice questioned.“I think it is time to leave the choice in his hands,” a second feminine voice spoke aloud. “Wake up, my dear child. Your mortal troubles cannot touch you here. Wake up and choose.”Groggy and disoriented, Ezra slowly parted his eyelids and immediately squinted as the bright white light flooding the room smarted his eyes. Still dizzy and weak, he somehow rolled over and gasped.“Where am I? What happened?” “You are safe inside the Hall of Wandering Souls,” a measured feminine

Chapter: Sins of Thy Father“The hour of darkness descends upon this world like a shroud, and the bleeding moon beckons the Lord of Decay to reclaim his lost domain. Come forth and ascend the throne of darkness, my Lord!”Ezra’s heart pounded inside his chest like a caged animal, and his head throbbed in pain as he heard muffled words shouted in the distance. Lying in a bloody puddle on the black marble floor, he parted his droopy eyelids and saw Lord Wilhelm standing behind the altar and Lady Lillian facing him on the other side.Though Tanya’s face was hidden from view, Ezra could see her supple white fingers tingling as her delicate arm dangled from the stone altar. She was still alive, but Lord Wilhelm was already anointing the ceremonial dagger forged from infernal obsidian and preparing to plunge it into her heart.“You…cannot do it. You need the crimson moon to…summon Zepheroth,” Ezra said, fighting the pain.“The hour of our Lord is nigh. And all celestials shall obey his will,” Lord Wilhelm continued cha

Chapter: Heroes never winThe enchanted nock gun vibrated with elemental energy as Jasenki loaded it with enchanted rounds. The glyphs carved into its stock shimmered and dazzled as he aimed at Ezra.“Scream for me, Ezra!” Jasenki yelled, pulling the trigger.Bang! Fwoom!A fiery barrage lit up the dark pavilion as fifteen fireballs erupted from the silver-dusted barrels. The first hit burned Ezra’s left sleeve, setting his tattered leather jacket ablaze, and the rest of the fireballs charred his white shirt, burning his skin.“This gun was forged by the best Gunsmiths in Stonewell, and enchanted with the rarest of ancient glyphs. No one can withstand its power!”Jasenki reloaded his weapon and fired again, unleashing another flaming barrage.But this time, a barrier of flames erupted around Ezra, cocooning him within an elemental shell.All fifteen fireballs exploded into sparks as they collided with the flame barrier, leaving Ezra unharmed.“Damn you, Ezra.

Chapter: Lovers in CrimeEzra looked at the two Spectral Companions hovering behind Jasenki and Cecilia and realized these spirits weren’t obtained from their ancestral artifacts. “I see you have abandoned your family relics,” he said, carefully analyzing the two specters with his Dragon Eye skill. “These spectral entities are gifts from the Lord of Decay,” Jasenki replied, raising his head with arrogance. “I bet you have never encountered anything so powerful before.”“Go on, Ezra. Call your little Spectral Basilisk, and let us see if it can stand up to our companions,” Cecilia mocked, casting a disdainful glance at Ezra’s tattered brown jacket and muddy black boots. “You still look as beggarly as before. I suppose some things never change. I am so glad I rejected you when I did.”Suddenly, Ezra’s eyes glinted, and his pupils brightened with a bright blue flame that blazed with magic energy. The scar on his chest glowed through his shirt, revealing his true power.Reaching inside his jacket, Ezra pulled out

Chapter: Hour of JudgmentFollowing the glowing trail left behind by the Spectral Beholder, Ezra avoided the rot vines squirming in the mire, and the Medallion of Purity hanging over his chest shielded him from the swamp's corrupting influence.Dark geysers erupted around Ezra, spewing molten tar several feet in the air and filling the swamp with a sulfurous haze. The choking odor brought tears to his eyes, but he pushed on through the vaporous veil.The Spectral Beholder led Ezra to a small patch of dry land surrounded by rotting oak trees. As he stepped onto the elevated mound, he spotted a fiery blue orb floating in the distance.Ten more orbs appeared out of thin air, floating through the foggy darkness. At first glance, they looked like glowing power crystals, but as Ezra took a closer look, he realized these orbs weren’t floating crystals or fireflies, but Elven Wisps.The Elven Wisps were unique spectral entities only found in the Violet Everglades. Unlike Banshees and Spectral Wraiths, the Elven Wisps w

Chapter: Lady of the SwampA weary traveler lost inside the Violet Everglades was an easy prey for the creatures of the dark, and Ezra had just encountered one such nefarious entity. But instead of fear, his eyes lit up with a strange hopefulness.“You called out to me in Tanya’s voice, so you must have seen her passing through. Point me toward the Fountain of Chaos, and I won’t kill you,” he spoke in a cold, emotionless voice, without even turning to look at the creature creeping toward him.The creature laughed at his words and rushed through the darkness, moving like a shadow to play with his mind. Her voice echoed from different directions as she disappeared like smoke and danced around Ezra.“You are in my home, youngling. The dark ones told me you’d be coming,” she cackled. “But you won’t be walking out alive. So, forget about your friend and save yourself if you can!”As Ezra stood there motionless, a howling shadow rushed past him and gathered on a dry patch of grass overgrown with violet tulips that glo
