Falling For The Enemy Chapter 5

The human kingdoms wage an endless war for land — sacred soil rich with resources and treasures. But on the day when the armies of the five great kingdoms clashed in their fiercest battle, the earth split open… and the demons returned. Faced with the specter of extinction, the warring nations laid down their swords and stood as one against evil. The war that was meant to decide the fate of empires became the war that decided the fate of humanity itself. Some races — elves, dwarves, werewolves, vampires, and even orcs — joined the struggle to repel the demonic tide. And after the war ended and peace was restored… Three decades passed, and a boy was born. Arthur Lionheart, heir to a fallen hero and bearer of a name that once inspired the world. But fate is cruel — and when he loses the one person he cherished more than himself, Arthur’s heart is consumed by the flames of vengeance. The man responsible for that tragedy curses him with a power beyond imagination… turning him into the vessel of the First Demon King. Now, Arthur stands on the edge of light and darkness. Will he rise as the savior who ends the cycle of wars? Or will he become the harbinger of a new age of blood and ruin? The final flame of humanity’s hope burns once more… and it is held by a boy bound to the power of the enemy he was born to destroy.

They actually unleashed a system bound monster. Now, every single enemy he crushes only makes him stronger, faster, and deadlier. The entire city will soon learn to fear his new name. He will consume all their stolen power without mercy.

They all thought they were done with Marcus until five years later. Five years in a supernatural realm transformed him into something the monsters never expected.
