The cool air drifting through the open windows of Serenity’s grandfather’s estate carried the scent of tea and parchment blending the quiet elegance of old tradition with the tension weighing heavily in the room.

Inside one of the sitting chambers, Serenity stood near the long glass pane, her arms crossed tightly against her chest. Her jaw was clenched, her eyes distant, but troubled. Across from her sat Master George, her grandfather’s most trusted advisor—an old man with sharp eyes and a calm presence that often said more than his words.

Serenity’s voice finally broke the silence.

“I don’t know what’s happening anymore,” she said quietly, frustration buried beneath her tone. “Grandfather… he just keeps pushing. Every time we talk, it’s like he’s doing everything possible to make sure I go get Damien.”

She turned around slowly, her back now to the window, and looked at Master George with tired eyes.

“But it’s not that simple,” she said, her voice rising slightly. “He doesn’t understa

    When Serenity heard what her cousin just said, her heart skipped a little.She turned to him slowly, her expression shifting—no longer just surprised, but genuinely worried.This wasn’t just about a threat.It wasn’t just about men forcing their way into her home.It was about something deeper. Something wrong.She couldn’t make sense of it.Her cousin’s voice… his posture… the way he didn’t even try to stand with her, or defend the house, or protect their grandfather—it all felt off. And that scared her more than anything.Her grandfather was still behind her. Alive. But exposed.And that… that was something she couldn’t afford.She wasn’t just standing here as a relative.She was Serenity. War Goddess.A protector. A leader. A force.And she couldn’t just surrender herself while her own family folded under pressure.So many things were at stake.Her blood boiled.The fact that these two nobodies—these intruders—had the audacity to enter her family’s home, speak of murder in the livi

    At that moment, Master George turned his gaze toward Serenity’s grandfather, his brows furrowing just slightly with curiosity.“Why did you come outside, sir?” he asked respectfully but directly.The old man paused for a second, his hands clasped loosely behind his back as he looked toward the far window. Then his voice came, firm but low.“I think I heard something outside,” he said. “Like… something’s going on. A sound. It wasn’t loud, but it was enough to catch my attention.”Serenity blinked and stepped forward quickly, waving her hands dismissively.“No, no, no,” she said with a soft laugh, trying to ease the tension. “That’s not even true. Oh my God, Grandfather, that’s impossible.”She shook her head, brushing a lock of hair from her cheek with a flick of her wrist.“All my subordinates are outside,” she added confidently. “Every corner is covered. No one—and I mean no one—would even dare try their luck to step in here. If they do, they’ll be crushed before they make it halfway

    At that moment, Damien slowly stood upright, his chest rising and falling with steady breaths as he looked down at the first assassin writhing, broken, and helpless on the floor.His expression shifted not to pity, not to mockery but anger.A quiet, boiling anger that hardened his features and darkened his gaze.He looked away, eyes narrowing.From the feel of their energy… the kind of techniques they used… the moment they stepped into his home—he could tell.They came to kill him, And that confirmed everything, his instincts weren’t wrong.Without a word, and before the downed assassin could even mutter a plea or explanation, Damien knelt down in one smooth motion.His hand surged forward with terrifying speed straight through the man's chest.Flesh tore. Bone cracked, and in one clean, merciless motion, Damien ripped out his heart.The body twitched once. Then fell still, Damien didn’t even flinch.But before the second assassin could even shout or summon his fire plasm before he co

    In a flash of instinct, the assassin executed a high-level fast step, blurring out of the punch’s direct path. His body shifted with near-perfect timing, a move refined from years of battle-hardened experience. But even with all his speed and discipline—he wasn’t fast enough.Damien’s fist barely missed its target, but the force behind it was so sharp, so precise, that the edge of the blow scraped across the assassin’s cheek, splitting the skin clean open.A thin line of blood trailed down the side of his face.He froze.His hand slowly moved up to touch the wound. When his fingers came back stained with red, his jaw clenched tightly.It wasn’t just the pain it was the message.Someone laid a hand on him.In all his time serving under the most brutal units in the military, in all the secret missions, in all the ranked challenges he fought through to rise—no one had ever touched him.Not once, and now this?A man he’d been told was nothing but an easy target?His eyes narrowed, the onc

    At that moment, Elvis stepped forward, his boots echoing softly against the stone beneath him. He stood tall before the four men kneeling at his feet his voice calm, but edged with command.“This is how we move,” he began, his tone firm, absolute. “Two of you your mission is clear. Go after the target. Damien.”He paused just long enough for the weight of the name to settle in the air.“I want him pushed. Not killed immediately. Let him feel it. Let him sweat. Make him bleed, but leave him breathing… for now.”The two men on the left nodded silently, heads still bowed.“Now, the other two,” Elvis continued, turning his gaze toward the remaining pair, “you’re heading to Serenity’s grandfather’s estate.”He slowly pulled a small card from his coat and flicked it into the air. One of them caught it cleanly.“That’s the location,” Elvis said, his tone dropping lower. “I want everyone in that house dealt with but no killing. Do you hear me?”He took another step closer, his eyes sharp now.

    At that moment, as Elvis stood before the elders of the Circle, a flicker of another name passed through his mind—Serenity.Her face, her voice, the way she used to speak to him like he was beneath her. Like he was just another nameless, powerless man in the world. The way she laughed behind his back, thinking he would never become anything of value.She will see.At that moment Elvis’s eyes narrowed slightly, the corner of his lips curving into a slow, calculating smirk.After I’ve dealt with Damien... after I’ve ended him completely... Serenity will see me again. And she will know. She will know she made the worst mistake of her life by ever looking down on me. By ever choosing to mock what she didn’t understand.She would watch him rise now.She would see him as the force she never imagined.The man even death couldn’t break.Still staring at the Circle’s leaders, Elvis took a breath and spoke with confidence.“I will never disappoint you,” he said clearly, his voice echoing throug

    At that moment, hearing the words spoken by the head of the Circle “You are now our universal soldier. Congratulations, Elvis.” At that moment something shifted in Elvis’s expression.A smile crept across his lips.Not just any smile.It was wide, sharp, controlled yet extraordinary. A smile carved out of triumph, molded by the fire he had just walked through. It wasn’t the grin of someone pleased with himself—it was the expression of a man who had become something else entirely.A being reborn, without being told, he knew.He had surpassed the limits.He had gone beyond the threshold that the Circle once believed was unreachable.He had even surpassed the Supreme King the most feared being of their time, the war goddess whose name echoed through the hidden battlefields of history. The one every assassin in the Circle whispered about, yet never dared to challenge.And now? he had gone beyond her.She was nothing more than a name now. A memory in the shadows of his footsteps.And Dami

    At that moment, the three heads of the Circle stared at one another in silence. Their expressions were tense, unreadable each of them knowing what giving this last vial meant. There was no debate. No long discussion. Just the silent weight of a decision that none of them wanted to make but knew they had to.Finally, the head of the Circle let out a slow breath. His hand moved toward the thick, reinforced drawer built into the table in front of him. The room held still as he unlocked it with a flick of his wrist. A faint click echoed into the air.From the drawer, he slowly pulled out a small box smaller than the first and placed it gently on the surface.He opened it carefully, revealing the final vial.It was darker than the others.The liquid inside didn’t glow like the rest. It pulsed like a heartbeat trapped in a bottle. A living force. Black with shifting shades of red and deep violet, it looked like liquid shadow itself.The head of the Circle looked up, his eyes hard, face grav
