I wasn’t reborn pure. I wasn’t reborn righteous. I was reborn unfinished. In a fractured fantasy world where cultivation advances through Marital Arts, power is forged through soul-bonds—vows that can elevate partners together or enslave them forever. Strength is no longer solitary. Love, betrayal, and shared destiny decide who ascends. Aren Valen awakens as the weakest outer disciple of the Azure Pact, carrying memories that should have died with him. In a past life, he was the Dragon Sovereign, erased at the brink of ascension by those he trusted most. Now, his Dragon Core is shattered and sealed, immune to orthodox cultivation. It awakens only through bonds freely chosen—not forced, not stolen. As ancient Dragon Veins stir, cultivation laws begin to collapse. Sects fall overnight. Empires rise on corrupted Marital Arrays that chain partners instead of empowering them. Defying all doctrine, Aren unlocks the forbidden Dragon Marital Codex, a path where power is shared without submission. Each bond awakens a Dragon aspect—Wrath, Wisdom, Dominion, Mercy—at a cost paid in trust and blood. Fate draws powerful women into his orbit: a sword cultivator haunted by memories of loving a Dragon, a rogue spirit alchemist hungry for forbidden truth, a fallen imperial princess seeking control, and a beast-blood warrior torn between instinct and reason. They are allies, rivals, and potential betrayers. But the past has returned. Aren’s former betrayers have reincarnated too, now ruling the new era—and they intend to erase him again by turning his own bonds against him. The Dragon needed a harem. The world is about to learn why.

# HELLSPAWN HUNTER ## Synopsis **When the gates of Hell crack open over his hometown, seventeen-year-old Kael Draven should have died with everyone else. Instead, he made a deal with a dying demon—and became something the supernatural world has never seen before.** Kael's father was a legendary Hunter who died keeping secrets. His demonic bond makes him an abomination in the eyes of his father's former allies. And Vex'thul, the ancient demon sharing his headspace, won't shut up long enough to let him figure out which side he's supposed to be on. **Vex'thul the Unbound has survived three millennia by being paranoid, ruthless, and absolutely insufferable. Now he's stuck in the body of an idealistic teenager who thinks "heroism" is a viable career path.** Together, they're humanity's most dysfunctional defense against the supernatural apocalypse. Kael wants to save everyone. Vex wants to survive everything. Neither is getting what they want. The Hunter Academy doesn't train half-demons. Vampire covens don't trust monsters with consciences. Exorcist orders shoot first and ask questions later. And somewhere in the shadows, the conspiracy that killed Kael's father is pulling strings that could unravel reality itself. **Armed with unstable demonic powers, a demon who treats life-or-death situations like a running commentary track, and a stubborn refusal to accept that some people can't be saved, Kael is about to learn that the hardest part of hunting monsters isn't the fighting—it's deciding which monsters deserve to live.** In a world where humanity's protectors might be the real villains, Kael Draven will discover that sometimes the only way to save the world is to embrace the darkness within. *Because when Hell comes calling, sometimes you need a monster to answer.*

"They called me trash. They called me a sacrifice. Now, I will call myself their God." In his earlier days, Kael led elite troops - fierce, unshakable till the very last breath. Yet that devotion got twisted into deceit. His own bosses handed him over; missiles tore through him while rage roared inside his chest. Yet dying wasn’t the finish. Kael wakes up inside Kaelen Vance - once the shamed third heir of a top martial bloodline. Out here, power rules; Kaelen had none - he couldn’t channel energy at all. His siblings tormented him nonstop until his cousin killed him just to steal his birthright. One heart, tied by a twist of deceit - yet both walking the same path. A bond broken before it even began. Right when Kael gets ready to battle his way free from hell, a robotic voice echoes inside his head - Welcome, Host - the God-Slayer System just powered up Using the System, Kaelan’s weak body changes fast - suddenly strong. The Ancient Dragon Body awakens, making stuck energy paths pump raw strength nonstop. Now he spots enemy details at a glance, grabs epic skills almost instantly. Killing foes pushes him higher, each battle adding power bit by bit. The family that turned their back on him? They’ll bow down. His cousin - the one who ended his life? Blood will answer for it. As for the so-called gods running everything? They’re marked now. Starting from the bottom world up to the top god realms, Kaelen moves forward - cold, focused. Survival isn't enough; instead, he takes control by force. This isn't about some brave savior fixing everything. Nah, this one’s about a ruler who just claimed it all instead.
