The wooden door closed, cutting off the sound of the roaring rain and the groans of hundreds of injured people out there.

The shop was narrow, its walls lined with hundreds of small wooden drawers filled with dried spices, roots, and glass jars containing things whose origins were best left unquestioned—lizard eyes, snake hearts, and mushrooms that glowed blue. The scent of sandalwood incense mixed with bitter traditional medicine filled the air, masking the metallic smell of blo

  • The Pregnant Empress

    The euphoria of the diplomatic victory at Nova Vexley vanished in the blink of an eye.Just as the celebratory fireworks at the harbor began to fade, Elena Moretti collapsed in the palace hallway. The crystal glass in her hand shattered, and fresh blood flowed from her nose.Now, inside the high-tech medical room in the palace's west wing, a gripping silence replaced the cheers.David Vexley stood beside the bed, his hand grasping Elena's ice-cold hand. His wife's face was deathly pale, her cheekbones protruding as if she had been starving for months, even though she had looked fresh and fit just this morning."What happened to her, Madame?" David's voice was low, trembling with a panic he rarely felt. "She was fine an hour ago. Why is her energy drained?"Madame Wu, who now served as Nova Vexley's Chief Medical Officer, pulled a silver needle from Elena's wrist. The old woman's face looked very serious, sweat beading on her forehead."This

  • Sovereign State: Nova Vexley

    The sun set on the western horizon, bathing the glass towers of Nova in golden light. Six months ago, this place was just rocks and concrete bunkers in the middle of the Pacific. Now, the island had transformed into a futuristic metropolis that made Dubai look ancient.Skyscrapers with anti-gravity architecture soared through the clouds, powered by cold fusion reactors stolen from Arthur's lab and perfected by exiled scientists recruited by David. Clean streets without asphalt, replaced by magnetic levitation tracks.On a balcony, a crystal structure at the highest peak of the island, David stood observing his kingdom. He wore a loose white silk robe, his black hair fluttering gently. Below, thousands of new citizens walked about.They were people discarded by the world. Genius scientists fired for experimental ethics, hackers hunted by the NSA, former Yakuza wanting to repent, to political activists tired of corruption. In Nova Vexley, they found sanctuary. No

  • Publicly Enemy Number One

    The white sand of Isla Sombra flew into the air as the stolen military helicopter carrying David and his team landed. This was Arthur's former backup base, a tropical paradise equipped with nuclear bunkers and satellite defense systems.However, there was no time to enjoy young coconuts or sunbathe.Inside the island's command center, Franky was pulling at his newly growing hair. He stared at the giant wall screen displaying a live broadcast from the UN Security Council in New York."Crazy! This is crazy, Dave!" Franky shouted, pointing at the screen. "Look at that! The American Ambassador just proposed Resolution 404. They're classifying us not as a mafia, but as a Global Terrorist Organization with Omega Threat Level."David sat relaxed in the command chair. On his lap, Elena sat massaging David's temples, while Isabella Rossi cleaned her rifle on the floor. Mei Lin stood near the window, watching the sea alertly. Victoria was brewing tea, trying to maintain sanity with aristocratic

  • Rebirth

    David Vexley's consciousness floated in an infinite void. There was no pain, no frail old body. There was only him and a system interface screen glowing red in the distance.In front of him, the spirit form of Grandpa Zypher stood with a sad face, holding an hourglass that had run out."You chose death, Grandson," Zypher said. "You refused to erase your memories of them. That means... you chose to perish.""I'd rather become dust than live without knowing Elena," David's soul replied calmly. "I'd rather die than look into Isabella's eyes and not know who she is. My love is the only real thing I've ever had, Gramps. I won't trade it for breath."Zypher sighed. "In that case, this is goodbye. The gates of the afterlife are open."David closed his inner eyes, ready to go.However, suddenly, the void trembled.A laugh was heard. Not Zypher's voice. Not Arthur's voice.The voice was deep, primal, and contained vibrations of both pas

  • Eros Defeats Thanatos

    Time seemed to freeze the moment David's fist touched the hole in Arthur's chest.There was no sound of an explosion at first. Only silence as two opposite poles met. The black Thanatos energy enveloping Arthur tried to consume David's hand, but the white Eros energy coating David refused to be devoured.Instead, the white light filled Arthur's emptiness."NO!" Arthur screamed. His voice was no longer a terrifying echo, but the scream of a terrified human. "Hot! Too full! Stop it!""You wanted everything, Arthur?" David whispered. "Eat this. This is their pain. This is their hope. This is Life."David pushed his fist deeper.BOOM!White light exploded from within Arthur's body. Cracks of light appeared on his melting skin, beaming out from his eyes, mouth, and chest.Arthur Vexley, the False God, could not contain the essence of life. His vessel cracked."I... I don't want to die..." Arthur whimpered, his skeletal hand trying to reach David's face."You died a long time ago, Brother,"

  • Battle the Brink of Hell

    "David..." Elena whispered from the doorway, her hand covering her mouth, tears flowing as she watched her lover age at lightning speed right before her eyes.David lifted his face. Although his physique had aged, those eyes burned with an intensity that made Arthur back away in fear."You're crazy!" Arthur shouted, the blue fire in his eyes trembling. "You're burning your own life! You'll be dead in minutes!""Minutes are enough," David replied.David didn't run. He just took a step. However, that single step folded space. He was suddenly right in front of Arthur.BAM!David punched Arthur's chest.It wasn't an ordinary physical punch. It was a punch that condensed gravity.Arthur, in his form as the Avatar of Death, was sent flying. His body crashed into a giant stone pillar two meters in diameter. The pillar exploded into fine dust.BOOM!The Vatican underground cavern shook violently. The ceiling began to crack, dropping sharp stalactites.Arthur roared, rising from the pile of du
