A Beta Before An Alpha

MANIFESTATION OF THE SYSTEM: LOST MEMORIES AND A SOULLESS THRONE Destruction is zero. The Black Dragon burns, Joker dies, and Sofia is kidnapped. In absolute despair, the System offers its final and most terrifying bargain: unlimited power to save his daughter, at the price of his soul and all his memories of Maria. Marco accepts. He rises, no longer Marco Rossi, but the manifestation of the System itself—a heartless titan, an efficient and brutal engine of vengeance. He rescues Sofia and reclaims his throne, but the victory is hollow. He returns to occupy the throne of the Black Dragon, the absolute and untouchable king. However, before her new ruler, Maria witnesses the monster she created: her husband is gone. She lives in fear and regret, realizing the true cost of the luxury she demanded. Marco has won everything, but lost himself. Tragically, the story is not over. Amidst the emptiness, Maria realizes she is pregnant with their second child—the heir to the Black Dragon's throne, and the inheritor of the System's never-ending curse. BLACK DRAGON CONTRACT, modern epic that redefines the boundaries of love, power, and the price paid when a soul is cashed out. The most tragic ending is not death, but the coldest victory. ---
