Adler Cold War

Draven Kane, former Crimson Knight of Voldimore, is executed for the massacre of his own clan — a crime manufactured by Maren, the clan healer who believed she was saving him. Reborn through the Blood God System, an ancient imprisoned entity sealed inside the Kalu bloodline for six generations, Draven discovers that every enemy he absorbs makes him permanently stronger. But the system is not his. Shikakiro, an ageless architect who has been dismantling bloodlines for thirty years, has partial access to everything Draven feeds it through a hidden sigil placed without his knowledge. As Draven fights to grow faster than Shikakiro can harvest, manage a Corruption threshold that risks silencing his dead clan’s voices forever, and navigate a city that has been publicly storied against him, he returns to Voldimore with one question that matters more to him than revenge. Did Elara choose to believe the frame Maren built around him — or was she simply handed a weapon and pointed? The answer to that question will determine whether the man who came back from the execution ground still exists, or whether what the Blood God System is making him has already replaced him entirely.

Beneath his calm exterior lies a terrifying and mysterious secret—a dormant power belonging to the Ryu Dynasty, a lost and almost forgotten kingdom. As hidden enemies resurface, sworn families prepare for war and his lost sister returns as an enemy, Riven must decide whether or not to pursue a revenge that would ultimately save or ruin him completely.

As a prince of the mighty Roshar Kingdom, he was born into luxury but cursed with minimal talent for the martial arts that defined this world's elite. Seeing the brutal intrigue within his own family, his sole ambition became a simple one: to avoid the throne's bloody games and survive a long, quiet life of privileged obscurity. That plan shattered when he was framed for a rebellion he knew nothing about. Cast out by the king without a trial or explanation and abandoned by a mother who refused to even say goodbye, Alex was exiled to the Wall—the world's most feared military penal colony. As a low-ranking, seemingly untalented warrior, everyone believed he was being sent to a silent death. But the Wall was not a prison. It was the grim, hidden truth from the normal people. Here, Alex witnessed the real war: a daily, desperate struggle against nightmarish monsters, a crisis kept secret from the peaceful, modern world behind a veil of royal and Council lies.

Yet, in the carnage, he discovered a latent, macabre gift: the ability to harvest strength from the fallen. This power could change everything, offering a path to survival and vengeance.
