Elder Blood

City. An oasis in the middle of a vast wasteland. Luxury, intelligence and high technology. Blood, poverty and vice. Can you be yourself, detective? Especially if you, detective, start digging through the dunghill and pulling out foul-smelling cases one by one. Especially - if your candidacy will be considered by those whom you do not want to notice with all your desire. Those who stand outside the vertical of power and violence.

When the Veil shattered, the world did not end in fire—it ended in monsters. Demons poured from the skies, and ancient Gods dropped their fractured Divine Seeds to the earth, seeking mortal vessels. Ronan was a dead man walking, his chest crushed in a demon ambush. But as his blood soaked the earth, the Seed of Primordial Eros chose him. It offered him the power to rip demons apart with his bare hands, but the toll was absolute: his godhood is fueled by passion, and his domain is the bed. To harness his devastating power, Ronan must forge "Soul-Covenants"—deep physical, emotional, and spiritual bonds with women of latent magical bloodlines. They become his Divine Chalices; the deeper their intimacy, the more invincible he becomes. But Ronan is not the only vessel. In the ruined capital of Aethelgard, Malakai—a ruthless tyrant who swallowed the Seed of the Grave—builds an empire of the undead, enslaving both humans and demons alike. This is no longer a tale of survival in a broken world. It is a war between ascending gods. Witness Ronan’s bloody ascent from a broken victim to an apex predator, and the founder of a brutal new civilization built upon passion, blood, and devastating betrayals.

But as Alex climbs from the sect's bottom to the realm's peak, he discovers the System's true purpose isn't justice. It's harvesting. Armed with explosive compounds disguised as cultivation pills, poison antidotes that shouldn't exist, and breakthrough elixirs that shatter natural limits, Alex must master both revenge and romance. The brilliant Mei Ling captures his heart, but can he trust her when everyone has hidden agendas? **In a world where strength determines everything, the strongest weapon isn't a sword—it's science.** Will Alex break free from the System's control and forge his own destiny, or will his pursuit of revenge consume everything he's fighting to protect? *Power. Revenge. Redemption. The formula for immortality has never been deadlier.*
