In Five Years A

As a poor orphan, Lucas had endured nothing but scorn, humiliation, and contempt his entire life. For years, he believed that was all life was about—until he met Ariadne Brook. She became the light in his dark world, the kindness to the world's wickedness, his warmth in a cold world, and the love to the world's hatred. She was everything the world couldn't be. But the same couldn’t be said for her family. They were just like the rest of the world. Living with the Brooks, he was treated as nothing more than a servant—unpaid, ridiculed, and humiliated. Still, for Ariadne, he endured it all. Yet, every man has his breaking point. One day, Lucas reached his. And he left. For six years, he disappeared without a trace. It was almost as if he had vanished from the face of the earth. Ariadne waited until she couldn’t wait any longer. She was about to marry another. But then, Lucas returned. And this time, he was different. He was no longer the timid young boy she knew. Confidence radiated from him, as if he now sat at the top of the world. Lucas has sworn never to let Ariadne cry or suffer again. For she was his woman, the very reason he was still alive. The only reason he pushed through all he faced during those six years he vanished. She was there for him when the whole world was against him, and now he would be there for her! He would cherish and protect her. Even if it meant going against the whole world, for her, he’d gladly do it. If the world couldn't have angels, then for her, he would become the devil!

Kaito Ran was only eleven years old when he watched his ailing father die. During his passing, Ran witnessed a djinn appear to take his father's soul to hell (NARAKU), but during the process, Ran caught a glimpse of hell before the spiritual portal dispersed. He saw that it was a realm, a place of material and magic. He saw nine cities and towers, mythical beings and doomed souls. He realized that he could go to hell and rescue his father. He met a monastery acolyte named Sōran Haru. Haru admitted he could help him save his father from hell. Ran asked how and Haru told him that his half-sister was a Lilim (Lilims are demonic children of Lilith and Satan). He offered to summon her so they can ask if she could take him to hell and help him save his father. They used a ritual to summon her. She appeared and agreed to help them find Ran’s father and even help return him to the Realm of the Living, but in exchange Ran must serve her In hell for twenty years. Ran, filled with so much love for his father, willingly agreed to this. Ran and Haru are taken to hell and found it to be a sinister world where there was no sun and the sky was in perpetual darkness, lit only by clouds of flame. It had its own rules and physical laws. They journey for what felt like days, but could not be confirmed. Ran found himself aging for years while only days had passed. Now they must survive the horror of hell, and Ran must also deal with going from being eleven years old to sixteen over a few weeks and the fact that he might be the son of the great deceiver.

A thousand years ago, Roan was the most feared warlord in history. Undefeated in battle. Worshipped by armies. Betrayed and poisoned by his most trusted general at the height of his glory. His last breath carried one vow. I will return. He kept it. Reborn into the body of a broke, humiliated twenty year old, Roan wakes up with nothing. No home, no money, no allies — thrown onto the street like garbage by the cruel family who used him as a pawn for twenty years. At his absolute lowest, bleeding in the rain, an ancient War System activates inside him. Current rating: F. Pathetic. He almost laughed. Because the people who destroyed him had no idea what they just woke up. And the dormant king doesn’t fight with rage — he plans with ice cold precision. Every enemy catalogued. Every move calculated. Every humiliation remembered. Cole Crest threw him out. Victor Crest used him. The ancient entity that corrupted his most trusted general a thousand years ago has reincarnated and is already moving against him. They will all kneel before this is over. Rising from F rank toward the legendary S rank, reclaiming ancient power sealed since his death, uniting secret warrior clans that have waited a thousand years for his return, and protecting the one person who showed him kindness when the whole world looked away — Roan isn’t just fighting for revenge. He’s fighting to end a cycle that has lasted a millennium. The Dormant King is done sleeping. The final battle isn’t just for revenge. It’s for the soul of history itself.

She slipped off the engagement ring, her voice cold. “You’ll never be the man I need,” she said, walking out and leaving me broken. Years later, as I stood successful and untouchable, she begged for my help. My heart ached, but I turned away. “You made your choice,” I whispered.

I died as the Nine Realms’ strongest Sovereign. Or so they thought. I woke up 5 years ago in a broken body — no memories, no cultivation, no name. The Carter family took me in as their live-in son-in-law, a dog they kicked for three years straight. The day my cheating wife threw divorce papers at me, I signed without looking back. At the crossroads, a girl in white was waiting. She called me “Your Majesty”... and returned something I’d buried: a shattered soul bead. With it came whispers. Fragments of a past life. And a truth: my death wasn’t an accident. It was betrayal. Now I have no power, but I have time. Nine soul fragments scattered across the realms. Nine betrayers who took my throne. Nine steps from trash son-in-law to the man who rewrites the heavens. They think I’m crippled. They think I’m done. Let them laugh. Every slap, every insult, every “worthless”... it’s all fuel. Because when the last fragment awakens, the Sovereign returns. And this time, I won’t die alone.
