Hunters Of Artemis

What would you do if the entire world wanted you dead… simply because you existed? Kai Ashford thought his biggest problems were paying bills and surviving another bizarre investigation job. Then an ancient inheritance awakens a forgotten power within him—Qi—turning him into the first cultivator in centuries and the one the world fears as the Last Cultivator. Now, every time he uses his powers, government satellites lock onto his location, deadly machines are deployed, and hunters descend upon the city. To survive, Kai must hide his identity, suppress his Qi, and continue living as an ordinary young man by day. His only ally is Aria Vale, a mysterious hacker who never leaves her hideout. From behind a computer screen, she erases his digital footprints, manipulates surveillance systems, and protects his secret while guiding him through a world of ancient legends and hidden conspiracies. Together, they uncover the truth about the Civilization Rift, a gateway to the last sanctuary of the immortals, and a terrifying project to create a weapon capable of killing gods. But the greatest shock awaits Kai. The woman leading the hunt for the Last Cultivator is Director Evelyn Ashford, the legendary enemy of all cultivators… and the mother he believed died long ago. She has spent her entire life hating immortals, believing they stole her child. She has no idea that the boy she is trying to capture is her own son. Caught between humanity and the surviving immortals, Kai must uncover the secret of his birth and decide where he truly belongs. Is he human? Is he a cultivator? Or is he the bridge between two races destined for war? And if the truth behind his existence is finally revealed… why did his dying master tell him to run from the world?

Noah Kane has spent his entire life being told he's worthless. An orphan with no family, no wolf, and no future, he's ridiculed at Blackwood Academy, where the strength of your bloodline determines your worth. Betrayed by the girl he loved and humiliated before the entire school, Noah believes fate has already abandoned him. Then he dies. As his blood soaks an ancient pendant left by his unknown parents, a voice echoes through the darkness. [Compatible Host Confirmed.] [The Last Lycan System Activated.] In an instant, Noah awakens the legendary bloodline believed to have vanished centuries ago—the blood of the Last Lycan King. Now every Alpha Lord, vampire house, hunter guild, and hidden faction wants him dead before he claims the throne that could unite—or destroy—the supernatural world. With every mission completed, the System unlocks new powers, forgotten memories, and terrifying truths about the massacre that wiped out his family. But strength comes with a price, and every evolution pulls him closer to the ruthless monster the world fears he will become. Standing in his way is Lyra Ashbourne, the proud daughter of one of the Twelve Alpha Lords. Raised to believe the Last Lycan is humanity's greatest threat, she's sworn to hunt him down. Yet every encounter shatters what she's been taught, forcing her to question her family, her loyalty, and even her own heart. As enemies become allies, secrets become weapons, and love blossoms in the middle of a war neither of them chose, Noah must decide whether to become the king history demands... or the man Lyra believes still exists beneath the beast. Because the greatest enemy isn't the hunters chasing him. It's the darkness awakening inside him. When the last Lycan rises, the world will either kneel... or burn.
