In his last breath on a blood-soaked black-ops mission, elite agent Kael Voss tasted only betrayal and regret for the innocents lost, for the life he threw away chasing shadows. But death was merely the beginning. Reborn into a savage realm on the brink of endless war, Kael awakens as the unwilling vessel of Aresion, the long-lost God of War. Gifted with devastating superpowers and a merciless "War System" that levels him up through every kill, conquest, and hard-won secret, he must navigate a world where gods play deadly games and empires rise on broken bones. Yet the God of War is no mindless destroyer. Ruthless in battle, Kael cuts down tyrants and armies without hesitation only to spare those who earn his hard-won forgiveness, haunted by the ghosts of his past. As a shadow agent for a fractured resistance, he infiltrates enemy lines, unravels the mystery of the fallen pantheon, and confronts the ultimate question: Can a man forged in regret truly break the cycle of violence… or is he destined to

I've never wanted this life for myself—this life filled with perils and evil. It's like a dream I can never escape from—a dream which I'm forever stuck in. Heh, no one ever wanted this life or ever wished for it. You'd be either insane or extremely evil to wish for this kind of life—the life where you don't have a choice over anything—the life where you're bound by your deepest desires. I never wanted to enter into the supernatural world. I never wanted to come across the Crimsones[1], Lycanthropes[2], demons and the rest. I never wanted to be involved in anything pertaining to the dark and supernatural world. I had always yearned for freedom and not servitude. But of course I was wrong all along. I had been delusional, thinking I'd be able to escape it all—to escape from fate. I never knew I would be pulled into this mess, becoming one of those dark creatures which roam about in the ungodly night. I never wanted to be a merciless predator who was also a prey to another predator (what a food chain!). But all is good. No matter what I shall not alli myself to degenerate into a heartless monster who only knew how to tear flesh, spill blood and break bones. I cannot allow my desires to pull me down. I cannot be corrupted by the abyss! My name is Daniel Stark and what I'm about to tell you is a real life horror. I don't know what you call horror or romance or fa Intasy but this story I'm about to tell you, you need to listen attentively and not miss a bit of information. This is my story—one beginning with pain.

My wife ended our marriage with a smile and a disconnected oxygen tube. Her rich lover and my own family watched me die. They celebrated when it was over. I was the husband nobody wanted, sick, poor, and in the way. So they removed me. Permanently. But some graves are not as deep as they seem. And some silences are just the calm before the storm. I’m coming back. And this time, I won’t be begging for my life. I’ll be collecting theirs.

I'm a special guy, no doubt. No one can do what I do. No one has the ability I have and if the government found out about what I can do, they'd probably lock me up to do thousands of experiments on me... and yet, I still manage to do everything wrong. Even with all the advantages anyone can possess and having the literal answers from the universe, I am absolutely lost. In fact, the universe and I have a rocky relationship and are in a constant fight. So, I hope you know that the universe is telling my story wrong. I am not a genius, I am not an innovative visionary and more importantly: I AM NOT GAY.

Adrian had planned the perfect anniversary dinner—Vanessa’s favorite dishes, a warm, quiet home, and even time for their daughter, Lily. But as the clock neared midnight, his excitement turned into a hollow silence. Vanessa stumbled in, drunk and careless, not even noticing the effort he had put in. She tossed her purse on the couch, waved him off, and mocked his calls. “Can you stop calling me all the time? I was at a banquet, making connections, actually contributing to this family,” she snapped, her words dripping with contempt. Adrian stayed calm, trying to remind her of the night’s significance. But Vanessa scoffed, mocking the anniversary, humiliating him further. “Everyone asked why I didn’t bring a male companion. I wanted to sink into the floor. Imagine saying, ‘My husband is home babysitting a kid.’ I’d rather say my goldfish ran away!” She continued, bitter and harsh: “If I didn’t get pregnant, I’d never have married you. Lily slows me down, and you… you slow me down the most.” Adrian, silent but composed, finally spoke: “Let’s get a divorce.” Vanessa erupted in rage, smashing the dinner he had prepared, shattering more than just plates. In that moment, Adrian walked away, leaving the chaos behind.

Three years in prison. All for a woman who never loved him. Ethan Cole took the fall for his fiancée's family, sacrificing his freedom for the woman he thought he'd marry. He endured three years behind bars, clinging to her promise of a wedding the day he walked free. But when that day finally came, Sarah didn't show up in a wedding dress. She showed up with divorce papers. And a new man on her arm. Humiliated, betrayed, and cast aside like trash, Ethan signed the papers without a word. Sarah thought she'd seen the last of him—just another nobody she'd used and discarded. She had no idea who she'd just thrown away. The former Chairman of the Southern Territory had offered Ethan the Phoenix Ring—a symbol of absolute power commanding networks across Boston's elite, East Coast politics, and the underground world. Ethan had always refused, wanting only a simple life with Sarah. But that life was gone now. And this time, he accepted the ring. Now Ethan is back. And he's taking everything—his power, his respect, and his revenge. The people who mocked him will kneel. The woman who betrayed him will beg. And Boston's elite will learn the hard way: You should never underestimate a man with nothing left to lose.
