Adler Cold War

They call him the "Watchdog of the West Gate." To the wealthy students, Alistair Cain is a joke—a dropout husband living off his brilliant professor wife, tasked with nothing more than checking IDs and chasing stray dogs off campus. To his wife’s powerful family, he is a stain on their reputation, a useless son-in-law who should have been discarded years ago. But they don’t know why the West Gate is the only place on campus where the shadows never move. They don’t know that the "stray dogs" he chases are actually Hellhounds trying to breach the mortal realm. And they certainly don’t know that Alistair is actually the Calamity Star—the exiled God of War serving a 1,000-year penance to suppress the ancient evil beneath the university library. When the seal begins to crack and the elite families of the city become pawns in a demonic war, the useless security guard finally stands up. "You can insult me all you want," Alistair says, adjusting his uniform cap. "But step one foot past this gate, and not even the Heavens can save you."

Kevin Hart never knew what it felt like to be truly loved. His father abandoned him. His mother raised him alone, sacrificing everything until the day she died, leaving him an orphan before he was old enough to understand what home meant. With her final breath, she held his trembling hand. "I'm sorry, Kevin... Mom can't stay with you anymore." He was still too young to bury the only person who had ever loved him. Standing before her grave, tears streaming down his face, he whispered, "Mom... I'll make you proud." With nothing left, he was sent into the military, where pain became his teacher and the battlefield became his family. Years later, the broken boy rose to become GODsFALL—the most feared War God alive. Kingdoms trembled at his name. Enemies prayed they would never meet him. Then he met Sarah. For the first time, Kevin laid down his sword. He walked away from power, glory, and bloodshed to become nothing more than an ordinary husband. He believed love was worth every sacrifice. But on their wedding night, Sarah walked out to be with another man. Alone in a room filled with untouched champagne and shattered promises, Kevin finally understood a cruel truth: The world had never chosen him. Not as a son. Not as a child. Not even as a husband. The man who gave up everything was left with nothing. This time, he would never beg for love again. The War God had returned.

His father was murdered. The woman he loved betrayed him for money. His mother is enslaved in a cold cellar, and his twin sisters are trapped in a secret fortress with only forty-eight hours before their bone marrow is harvested by his worst enemy.

They provoked a god. Now, they will drown in his wrath.

“Take this ten-thousand-dollar check, parasite. Your role as a shield for my shares is over,” Chloe said coldly as she threw the check onto the floor. For three years, Raymond lived as an oppressed son-in-law with amnesia in New York, suppressing his pride for the sake of the woman he believed sincerely loved him. However, a billionaire business alliance changed everything. Cast out on a stormy night and struck nearly to death by his wife’s lover, a horrifying miracle occurred instead. That fatal collision shattered the seal on his soul. Raymond was not a mere mortal drifter—he was an Eternal God of War awakened from a long slumber. Now, the ruler has returned. With an ancient system inside his mind and millions of secret mercenary troops under his command, Raymond is ready to strangle Manhattan’s business network. Who will survive when the God of War begins overturning the chessboard of the financial world?

"That's a check for one million dollars. Take it and leave. Go reunite with your mistress and live your lavish lie." Caroline's voice cracked as she slammed the check against August's chest, her eyes red-rimmed and burning. For three years, she had played the loyal wife to a crippled man. Three years of silence. Three years of him vanishing each month without explanation. Three years of missing money and whispered rumors she'd desperately tried to ignore. She loved him once. But even love has limits. August watched his devastated wife walk away, her footsteps echoing like a death sentence. The truth sat on his tongue—boiling, desperate to be free. But he swallowed it. Not yet. For her safety, she had to remain in the dark. Three years ago, he emerged from a brutal war victorious but broken—ambushed when his strength was at its lowest, his legs shattered, his body labeled useless. They wrote him off. They laughed at the wheelchair-bound shell of a once-great warrior. But August never accepted that fate. As the door slammed behind Caroline, something inside him cracked—not broke, cracked open. His Qi, long dormant, surged like a tidal wave. And for the first time in three years… August stood. The wheelchair sat empty. Now, the man they abandoned is rising. His enemies will kneel. And his wife? He will protect her from the very family scheming to strip her of everything—even if she hates him for the secrets he kept. Let them come. August is done sitting down.

Zane was the weakest link—the worthless, live-in Son-in-Law who cleaned floors for his wife's powerful, arrogant family on campus. Every day was a cycle of humiliation, designed to keep him weak and subservient. They called him "Zero." ​But Zane was a lie. He was the exiled incarnation of an ancient God of War, sealed in a mortal shell by a cosmic vow.

If he fails to protect her, the Scions of Chaos will capture her and turn his divine spark into a weapon against the world. ​Now, the Son-in-Law must rise as the Commander, using his hidden power to seize billions, crush his rivals, and fight a secret war to protect the one woman who is both his jailer and the only reason he remains a man.

“I don’t even know why you're still here, the only reason why my daughter married you was so she could claim her grandfather's wealth,” his mother-in-law smirked. For 2 years, the God of war faced maltreatment in his in-law’s mansion. He had played the role of a dutiful husband, all while secretly working to change his brother's biometrics to his own. He was thrown divorce papers on a sunny day and with the divorce finalized. It was time to return to the billionaire life and revenge on those who wronged him but with dual identities. Two different men, different personalities and identities but one face. He will make his mother in law beg at his feet.

As ancient enemies emerge from the shadows and those who betrayed him begin to fall one by one, everyone is forced to ask the same threatening question: Who is Asher River... really?
