CHAPTER 1- The Uninvited Guest
Adrian Lancaster pushed open the door to Room 308 on the second floor of the cruise ship, only to be met with the unmistakable voices of a man and a woman coming from the bedroom.
"Honey, I’ve been holding back for days, I’m about to lose it." “Come on, ahh~ My pants ... take them ... off, will you? Ahh~~” BOOM! It was as if thunder had struck Adrian right in the ears. His face paled. Because the voice that spoke next belonged to Isabelle—his wife! Three years ago, they had met at a small banquet. Sparks flew, and soon after, they were married. Though she was diagnoised with multiple myeloma shortly after their wedding, Adrian never left her side. He took care of her through the worst and even donated his own healthy bone marrow—saving her life. A week ago, when Isabella told him she was pregnant, he had been over the moon. Even though his startup company was on the verge of bankruptcy, he’d spent his savings to buy two luxury cruise tickets for a seven-day getaway, hoping to cheer her up after learning she was worried about her family company and rekindle their romance. He had even prepared a nice romantic dinner with a meaningful gift for her this evening. The last thing Adrian expected ... was betrayal. As the gasps and moans from the bathroom grew louder, Adrian’s rage swelled. His fists clenched, and he stormed toward the bedroom door. He had to see—who the bastard was! But as he reached for the knob, he stopped. His features were contorted with pain. What difference would it make anyway? Would seeing the man erase Isabelle’s betrayal? She was pregnant with their baby—did she even care about its safety? Just a door away, Adrian felt he was between heaven and hell. Just then, came more voices from inside the bedroom. “Hurry up... Adrian would be ... back with his surprise for me any minute. Ahh~ If he sees us ... we’re screwed ... Ahh~~~” “So what if he does? He’s now penniless and powerless. I’m not afraid of him.” Adrian frowned. The man’s voice ... it sounded familiar. Then Isabelle spoke again. “You naughty bad boy ... Ahh~~ So? How’s the plan to bankrupt Adrian’s company going? I’m running out of excuses to stall.” “Don’t worry. With your help from the inside, I’ve already cut off all his cash flow. Every asset he had is now under my name.” The man laughed excitedly. And then it clicked! Adrian knew who the man was—Lucian Grayson. CEO of Astra Corp, Adrian’s fiercest rival. The Grayson family was one of Silver City’s top three elite families, and Lucian was known for his arrogance and ruthless behavior. Rumors had always followed him: forcing his pregnant secretary to get an abortion, seducing employees’ wives, blackmailing female staff into sleeping with him... Lucian Grayson was pure scum. But of all people, his own loving wife, Isabelle, was now fucking that bastard? Why? Was he—Adrian Lancaster—not good enough? His heart bled. Inside the bedroom, Isabelle continued, moaning between words. “Should I ask for a divorce ... tomorrow ... as we planned? And then the day after ... ahh ~~ you come with me for a prenatal check?” “Why not? Today is the last day he’s allowed to enjoy happiness.” Lucian chuckled as he held Isabel's softness in his hands. “Talking about prenatal check, that idiot still doesn’t know the baby isn’t his, right?” “Of course, not. How can ... I tell him the truth? He’d ... ahh ... kill me!” Isabelle let out a long, low moan before continuing between gasps.Expand

AWAKENED ADRIAN LACANSTER CHAPTER 417
Sophia journeyed to the final destination of the last stome... The Swiss Alps were so thin it felt like needles in Sophia’s lungs.It was high above the jagged peaks, hidden by a permanent, swirling hurricane.They call it the sky temple.It was a beautiful, terrifying sight. The temple was carved from pure white marble and "Cloud-Glass," a material that shimmered like a diamond in the sun.It was a very beautiful sight to behold... It did not sit on the ground it floated thousands of feet in the air, held up by the sheer power of the wind."I can't just fly up there," Sophia whispered, her voice whipped away by the gale. "The light probably has more drones... they will see me coming from miles away."She looked at the underside of the floating islands that surrounded the main temple. They were like stepping stones in the sky. She reached deep for the Earth power of Demeter. She didn't summon giant roots this time. Instead, she made her hands and feet as sticky as a mountain lizard

With these, I can reshape the world. No more messy forests. No more weak governments. Just order. My order.""You'll have to kill me first," Sophia said, pulling her climbing axes from her belt."Trust me, I will gladly do so," Vane smirked.The soldiers rushed her. Without her magic, Sophia had to rely on everything she had learned in the forest.She dived under the first soldier's swing, slamming her climbing axe into the joint of his exo-suit. He sparked and fell.She moved like a dancer, using the environment. She swung from a hanging chain, kicking a second soldier into a steam vent. But there were too many of them. Vane fired his pulse-rifle, the red energy grazing her shoulder.She backed away, toward the edge of the bridge. "End of the line, princess," Vane said, leveling his rifle at her head.Sophia looked down then up at Vane. She smiled."You should have checked the floor," she said.She slammed her axe into the thin rock beneath her. The crust shattered.Vane and his m

As she moved toward the next level, her eyes suddenly caught a flash of color on the wall. She stopped as she was captured by it.It was a giant mural, carved into the obsidian. It showed a woman who was the first vessel standing between a raging storm and a peaceful garden. "It wasn't for war," Sophia realized, her voice echoing. "This power... it was for building. For creation."She touched the carving of the Vessel’s hand. "If someone like Vane gets this, he won't just kill people. He’ll unmake the world."Her ancestors were custodians of the stones, and they each decided to bury them where no one would ever find them.The deeper she went, the hotter it got. The air began to shimmer and dance. Sophia stumbled, her head spinning.She held the hall trying to prevent herself from collapsing."Sophia? Is that you, sweetheart?"Sophia froze. Stepping out from behind a pillar of fire was her mother. "Mom?" Sophia whispered, her eyes filling with tears."Look at you," the vision said

The heat was unbearable. Sophia gasped, feeling the moisture being sucked out of her skin. Here, her Water power felt thin and weak, it evaporated before she could even form a shield. Her Earth power was just as difficult.... She could not tell if it was because of the constantly shifting earth or that the ground was too difficult.Thump. Thump. Thump.Her Seismic Sense came to life. Coming from the eastern ridge was a Purge Squad. These were not your regular mercenaries. They wore bulky, white heat-resistant exosuits that looked like space gear. Each one carried a cryo-cannon—a weapon designed to freeze her solid and neutralize her heat-based potential."Target sighted!" a voice boomed through a loudspeaker. "Deploy the dampeners!"Sophia didn't wait. She bolted across the obsidian glass, her boots smoking from the heat of the ground. She leaped over a small stream of flowing lava, the heat singeing the hair on her arms. Behind her, the cryo-cannons fired, turning the black rock

Sophia walked back to the edge of the grove where a discarded mercenary radio was hissing with static. She picked it up, adjusting the frequency. She heard a voice come through, it was cold and distorted."...all units, redirect to the Mediterranean. The thermal signatures confirm the third Essence is active in the Volcanic Isles.""The girl is likely heading south. Intercept and terminate on sight."Sophia dropped the radio and crushed it under her boot. She looked at her hands. On one hand, she felt the power of the North Sea, and on the other hand, she dealt with the rich, heavy soil of the mountains.She wasn't the girl who had cried in the Aldridge mansion anymore. She was something older. Something more dangerous.She turned to Keleeen, who was smiling warmly at her, and she gave him a warm nod.Sophia walked away from the grove and then she also found a discarded tactical tablet near a crushed mercenary jeep. The screen was cracked, but it still flickered to life. As she swi
