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: 220. Biotech BaneWhile Alex prepared to venture into the Faretta Valley for a once-in-a-lifetime hunting expedition, Haruto drove to Grevin Canyon, his mind focused on the singular task of entering Astro Nova’s biotech lab without raising any alarms.Since Haruto was close to the CEO himself, the guards at the main gate allowed him to pass without any questions.Once inside the compound, he became the center of attention for all the security cameras twitching on the walls and the reconnaissance drones flying overhead.However, Haruto maintained a stern calm and moved with purpose. Presenting his ID at the second door, he stepped inside without making any eye contact.The guards posted around the perimeter were a part of Astro Nova’s own security team, and were happy to while away their time smoking cigarettes and gossiping about trivial matters and workplace politics.However, the men standing guard inside the lab were trigger-happy mercenaries hired from a private security firm.They neither gossiped

Chapter: 219. The spilloverAlex’s problems had just compounded with the God Serum falling into the wrong hands. And now he was stuck dealing with two adversaries at once.Henry Pietersen had already sent assassins after him twice now, and it was only a matter of time before he learned the truth about his recovery and decided to pull another dirty trick.However, the bigger concern right now was Astro Nova’s involvement in the God Serum crisis.Not only had Nakamura’s men sabotaged the original God Serum, but also started their own project to develop a better version of it. But things had gone from bad to worse with the failed animal trials.The following morning, Alex called Dr. Lucy and Captain Williams to discuss the situation and plan ahead before making the next move.Hearing everything, Dr. Lucy couldn’t help but wonder if Alex had done the right thing by trusting the man who had sabotaged the God Serum in the first place.“This Haruto guy sounds like a slippery fish. Are you sure he isn’t just going to ra

Chapter: 218. Trial and TerrorStaring down the barrels of a dozen rifles pointed at his head, Haruto didn’t have the heart to resist. He crumbled like a loose brick under pressure and puked the truth, bringing down the whole tower of lies.As Alex pulled off the tape from Haruto’s mouth, he burst out, “I’ll tell you everything. Please just don’t kill me! They made me do it!”“Who?”“Hideo Nakamura,” Haruto blurted without hesitation. “He paid me to steal the serum from Kronos Tech’s laboratory.”“And who told them about this serum? It was supposed to be a highly secretive project. How did Nakamura know what was cooking in that underground lab?”“He suspected something the moment your company announced the new healing gels to the public. That gave Mr. Nakamura reason to believe that Kronos Tech was working on something even more revolutionary. A possible cure for cancer or a vaccine for AIDS!”Alex lowered his gun. “Go on.”“Mr. Nakamura’s secretary helped me forge a fake ID and prepare a highly polished CV with al

Chapter: 217. The Inside ManDr. Lucy had developed the God Serum solely to help Alex get rid of his lethal genetic mutations and regain his powers.But Alex knew it could unleash chaos if it fell into the wrong hands. And now, two vials of the original God Serum were missing, and the person responsible for the theft and sabotage was cozying up to Astro Nova, a medical equipment manufacturer who had only recently acquired a biotech firm.Without any solid proof, Alex couldn’t go after the CEO of Astro Nova, but the guy who had stolen from Kronos Tech was perfectly within his grasp.Alex immediately rang up Captain Williams and informed him about his new mission.“Godrick found the guy who tampered with the God Serum. He is roaming around Astro Nova’s main office on Cygnus Boulevard.”“Roget that! I’ll take him out. He’s not going anywhere!”“That’s a negative, Captain!” Alex shot back. “We need to nab him alive. He has the original virus that was used to contaminate the serum. And Lucy needs it to develop the ant

Chapter: 216. On the serum trailThat same night, Alex left the Apache village, but he didn’t drive back to the hospital. Instead, he made his way to the main office of Kronos Tech and went straight up to Samantha’s private cabin on the seventh floor.Seeing Alex flitting around at this late hour, when he should have been at the hospital, shocked her.“Mr. Verlaine…I didn’t know you were coming,” she stuttered, rising to her feet. “Did I do something wrong?”“Nothing to worry about. It’s just that I need a small favor from you.”Samantha looked at him, clueless and concerned. “What is it?”Alex tossed his blood-stained kerchief on the table. “I want you to run tests on this blood sample. Analyze the DNA in detail, and let me know what you find.”Samantha shuddered at the sight, the metallic tang almost making her puke. Still, she clenched her nails and shut her lips tight, nodding in agreement.Alex could tell Samantha was nervous. After all, it wasn’t every day someone delivered a blood sample on a kerchief.“This i

Chapter: 215. The young and the braveAs the sun rose above the eastern horizon, scattering the darkness, a black stallion galloped out of the woods, blazing a trail of dawn-kissed gold behind it.Takoda knew the owner of that magnificent horse was Holata himself, but the man riding it wasn’t the old chief.The one holding the reins with his boots in the stirrups was the outsider—Alex Verlaine, while Holata’s cold, lifeless body lay slumped behind him like a spoiled sack of grains.Shocked gasps escaped from all around as the tribesmen looked at their dead chief.Not many had expected the outsider to survive the duel with Holata, but Alex had defied all odds and proved he wasn’t just a capable hunter, but a fierce warrior as well.“The Warrior has pronounced His judgment!” Takoda exclaimed, throwing his arms in the air. “The outsider has felled the chief, proving his innocence and reclaiming his life!”Alex pulled in the reins, riding the stallion to a giddying stop in front of the Elder, and cut Holata’s ropes loose.As

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. Keep trying your tricks and see how long you can su

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

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.
