Ice Bear Pfp

My wife gave our final piece of meat to her secret lover while I stood freezing in a sixty-below-zero blizzard. The man who had cast aside everything to keep them alive was now a joke, a useless son-in-law left to perish in the cold. They were never aware of the truth. I had been the secret heir to the most powerful family in the city. I had thrown it all away for her. Mocked by my in-laws and treated as a servant, I still believed she loved me. Until the Cold Apocalypse occurred. The world froze, monsters came out, and civilization collapsed. My devotion to blindness brought me a miserable, frozen death. But death wasn‘t the end. It was three days before the end of the world when I finally opened my eyes. This time, the obedient husband is gone, replaced by something much worse. The Chimera King System has loaded. When I carried the carapaces of mutated monsters, I absorbed their DNA and the strength that comes with it. This time, I will not plead. I will not give. I will not love blindly. My wife and her lover believe they will be able to use me once more when the ice thaws. They’re wrong. This time... I will make sure they freeze.

"I'm divorcing you. Sign it." For three years, Ethan Carter swallowed his pride, hid his identity as a billionaire heir, and played the role of a useless stay-at-home husband—all for the woman he deeply loved, Vivian Lockwood.

With time running out and Crane's security getting tighter, the crew must navigate relationships, devotion, and deceit to complete the heist—or risk losing everything in the resulting turmoil.

The Sundered Seal Book One of The Abyss Chronicles For ten thousand years, the abyss was only a bedtime story. Dragons, wyverns, and things with voices that shake the earth were myths told to frighten children into behaving. Then a man in plain grey clothes broke the seal. Veyrath is forgettable to look at and terrifying to know. To fulfil an ideology no one else can bear to hear, he unleashed the creatures of the abyss and spread a curse that turns humans into mindless, murderous abominations. Worse, he cannot be killed, because hundreds of his clones are hidden across the world, each one as powerful as the original. In the quiet valley of Dawnhollow, twins Kaelen and Lyra have just turned twenty-one. She is a prodigy of the wind and the second rank. He is the first Ascendant the settlement has seen in living memory, with a golden light that heals instead of destroys. When the first monster comes over the wall wearing a shepherd's coat, Kaelen sees a frightened human face beneath the ruin, and he learns his gift can undo the curse. But every cure leaves a mark on him. Each life he saves pulls him a little closer to becoming the thing he is trying to reverse. As the dragons turn out to be prisoners of the same sickness, and Veyrath climbs to a rank no one thought possible, the twins must lead a hopeless war with only each other to hold on to. Some monsters can be healed. Some can only be fought. And the hardest part may be knowing which is which.

Being the Angel of death requires a lot of responsibility from Azrael. He was loved by his father but hated by his brother Black. Azrael did his job diligently until a faithful day when the forbidden happened. ︎︎︎︎ "Father, why did call for me?" "You dared to go against me and saved a child you never should have saved, Azrael. I trusted you and gave you my glory. How dare you disobey me?!" Azrael fell to his knees and begged his father. "I never meant to go against you, father. I just couldn't bear to take the child's soul away." "That child should never have been born, it will bring doom to the world. You have just saved the doom of the mortals and immortals! How will you pay for this you've brought upon us!" "I'm so sorry father, I will receive my punishment without complain. "In that case, You, Azreal are hereby sentenced to the wilderness of nothingness until my anger is appeased!" Azrael received his punishment for saving who he shouldn't have. He did what he shouldn't do as the angel of death. He interfered with the lives of mortals. But what he didn't know was the fact that there is a force behind why he did what he did. That force will destroy the whole world and the only person who can fight against it, is none other than Azrael (The Angel of death).

Commander Riven has buried seventeen teams. He won't bury this one. A quantum weapon that can erase history has been stolen from a frozen research facility, and the only man who understands it—Dr. Kael—is the same man who built it. Forced into a war he never wanted, Kael must join Riven's covert strike team on a suicide mission to stop a ghost from rewriting reality itself. The Wraith doesn't want money. He doesn't want power. He wants to become the architect of human history, erasing every mistake, every war, every innocent death—by deleting the people who caused them. And he's already started. But the quantum device doesn't just bend time. It fractures it. Every use tears reality further apart, creating pockets of frozen seconds where enemies can hide, battles can last lifetimes, and death is no longer permanent. Riven and Kael have seventy-two hours before the device fully stabilizes and The Wraith becomes unstoppable. There's only one way to win: destroy the machine. But when Kael discovers The Wraith's true identity—and the secret buried beneath the ice—he realizes the device may be the only thing standing between humanity and an even greater threat. Time is running out. The mission is impossible. And the dead are already walking. One wrong second. Two broken men. All of history hanging in the balance.
