Adler Cold War

Truth is a privilege of the gods--not a right. Caelion Vireth was a Spellbreaker of the divine, who would open deadly curses and bring the will of the gods. When his head started splitting up and his body broke down, the gods referred to it as a flaw. It was a disgrace, said his father. Betrayed and executed by the one he trusted most, Caelion should have died. Rather, he finds himself in the body of Vaelthar Noctryn- the tabooed God of Deceit, who is lord of the underworld. Caelion hides under a curse that ties him to the shadows, and masquerades as a young messenger back to the court of the gods. However, his lie has its price--once the moonlight touches him his secret will be known, and this time he will be dead forever. In his quest to unravel the truth about his execution, Caelion starts to unravel the truth as he travels through the gods who condemned him. He finds out something much worse than betrayal. He was never meant to die. He was to climb up. And the one who commissioned his death was never his father. Caelion, with the truth hidden in the lies and the court working against him, embarks on the quest to reveal the gods, at all cost. But in a world where one builds on falsehoods, even justice is punishable. In order to possess the truth, he must perhaps turn into the thing they were so afraid of.

Thorn Blackthorn is a hunted man. Once a prince of a fallen empire, he now survives in the dirt, running from the elite sects and divine enforcers who slaughtered his bloodline. But his luck changes when he accidentally awakens the Unmade Primordial, a terrifying relic capable of unmaking the very fabric of reality. With a simple thought, he can dissolve a mountain into ash or rewrite the physical laws of a battlefield. The power comes with a devastating price. Every time Thorn breaks a law of nature, the Primal Fracture widens, threatening to tear the world into broken shards of pure chaos. In a world where the gods demand perfection, Thorn must scheme, manipulate, and destroy his way to the top. He is not looking for friends, and he is not looking for love. He only wants survival, and he will unmake the universe itself to achieve it.

I left everything behind, when my father had wanted me to become the head of the dynasty. Every man would have wanted such power given to him to control the world. But, I wanted something different, something peaceful. Away from all noise, distractions and the place where I called home. I didn't just leave, I left with the woman after my heart. I really loved her and would marry her. None of this wealth, power, control matters to me, the reason I kept my family profile hidden from her. But, what happens when there was a zombie apocalypse and I had returned home, to take her with me to another city, but then…I caught her cheating, not with anyone else, if the case should be, but with my boss? That's the height of it. Even when I tried to confront her, she was not remorseful over her shameful actions, and my boss? He simply doesn't care about me, he threatened to fire me if I dared him. They mocked, ridiculed me and even left me with a zombie to kill me off. But, they don't know who I am!

For four years, Rael Vinsion devoted his life to Noorhaven state, fulfilling his master's command. Under his guidance, the once ruined state rose to become the most advanced and prosperous region. But, when peace finally returned Rael was betrayed. He trapped and imprisoned by the governor’s family, his would-be in-laws. They laughed and believed they could claim the fruits of Rael’s labor without lifting a finger. Unbeknownst to them, they weren’t seizing victory. On the contrary, they were digging their own graves.

Denig Sherr, an alien with supreme abilities that elevated him to godhood over his planet Thera, Earth, and the entire universe, should have inherited the throne after his father, King Sheg Sherr, perished. Instead, he awakens on Earth as Richard, stripped of his memories and living among humans—William and Alison, the latter igniting feelings in him that transcend mere friendship. His past remains a void until Vonera, his scorned ex-wife from Thera, shatters his fragile human existence with a devastating truth: Denig's own half-brother Terig betrayed him. Despite wielding the blue flames of Idahocles that once made him invincible, Denig fell before Terig's red flames—an equally divine power that his treacherous sibling used to steal the throne and cast him into oblivion, powerless and broken. Vonera arrives with Theora, both refugees who fled when Terig's ruthless coup tore Thera apart. They have watched Denig from the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike. Now they thrust him into a brutal awakening, forcing his memories to resurface through agonizing trials. But Terig refuses to let his brother reclaim what he stole. He unleashes god-like alien assassins to Earth, each wielding abilities that rival Denig's own, turning the conflict into a cosmic war that threatens to consume both worlds. Can Denig overcome his brother's superior forces, reclaim his stolen throne, and prevent Terig from unleashing total destruction upon Earth and Thera alike?

Ten years ago, Leo Wills was the heir to a dynasty—until the Sterling Group framed his father, seized his home, and left his family to rot in the gutters of Riverdale. He vanished into the shadows of the global frontline, forging himself into the King of War, a commander of the invisible Ghost Legion. Now, he’s back in his city, wearing a janitor’s blue coveralls and cleaning up the filth of the elite with tactical precision. He isn't just looking for an apology; he’s here to collect a debt that can only be paid in blood and billions. The Sterlings think they own the law, the land, and the air the poor breathe. They don't know that the "janitor" in their lobby has the world’s most lethal mercenaries on speed-dial and the power to freeze their empire with a single phone call. From high-society galas turned into tactical traps to the cold-blooded seizure of corporate skyscrapers, Leo is dismantling the hierarchy brick by brick. The Ghost Protocol has been activated: the house is being reclaimed, the "Silent Shareholder" has spoken, and the usurpers are about to learn that some ghosts don't stay buried—they come back to rule.

In the neon-choked sprawl of Neo-St. Petersburg, memory is the ultimate currency, and Nikolai Volkov is a man bankrupted by the elite. Once a low-level "Memory Cleaner" for the 1%, Nikolai is subjected to a brutal neural wipe after witnessing a ritualistic murder committed by the untouchable Senator Volin. But the "Mind-Crusher" fails. Instead of erasing his soul, it shatters the barriers of his consciousness, granting him a direct uplink to the Akashic Repository. Now, Nikolai is a living virus in a world of silicon and sin. By mere proximity, he can "eat" the combat skills, deepest secrets, and primal fears of anyone he encounters. From the mud of the "Sector-Zero" slums to the gilded penthouses of the corporate gods, he begins a cold, calculating ascent on the Escalation Ladder. He isn't just seeking revenge; he’s hunting for the fragments of the man he used to be, only to discover that the Senator didn't just delete his past, he’s using it to fuel a "Demon-Upload" that will enslave the global Net. Packed with high-stakes "face-slapping" and cinematic action, PHANTOM IN THE SHELL is a gritty cyberpunk thriller about a man with a thousand faces and no identity, proving that the most dangerous thing in the world is a ghost who remembers everything you want to forget.

Finally, back on Earth, Jake has to adapt and evolve as his hunt continues... With a huge open planet before him, Jake has literally grown wings as he begins his conquest of the local wildlife. With his newfound freedom, he finds his true Path as a hunter. All the while trying to avoid the responsibilities of having founded the first city on the planet. Oh, and bird friends. Meanwhile, all across Earth, Pylons of Civilization are claimed. Cities are constructed, humanity beginning to regain its foothold. Factions grow and expand as political alliances are formed and professional relations are created, as godly and mortal factions alike move to establish themselves as the dominant force on Earth. None of which Jake cares too much about while he finds himself far too busy doing what is truly important in life: Hunting, alchemy, and getting that D-grade evolution.

The first major system event has arrived as all the major factions of Earth converge… Yalsten, an old cursed land once occupied by ancient vampires, but now long forgotten, finds itself the grounds for the system event known as a Treasure Hunt. Follow Jake as he and the rest of his fellow Earthlings compete and cooperate in uncovering the secrets of this ancient land while naturally acquiring any and all of that sweet, sweet loot. But not without trouble. The ancient defenses still stand between Jake and his rightful bounty, the cursed land itself rising in opposition against the invaders. Vampires of old who have long been dormant are awakened from their slumber, with each one appearing only stronger than the one before. By that logic, Jake truly hoped for a proper final boss of this event; the only question was… Would he find the ultimate challenge from the vampires or his fellow man?
