Long-distance Lover

They called me the Scourge of the Seven Realms. The Black Emperor. The man who'd conquered half the world before his thirtieth birthday. None of those titles mattered now, as I lay dying on the blood-soaked marble of my throne room. "Any last words, Damien?" High Priestess Celeste stood over me, her blade — my own sword, stolen during the battle — still dripping with my blood. Behind her, the leaders of the rebellion watched with hungry eyes, eager to see the tyrant fall. I wanted to laugh. After everything I'd done, all the kingdoms I'd conquered, all the battles I'd won, I was being killed by the woman I'd once loved. The woman I'd trusted above all others. "You won't win," I managed, blood bubbling from my lips. "The demons... they'll come regardless. You've doomed everyone." "Better the demons than you," she spat. The irony was bitter. I'd conquered the world to unite it, to prepare for the demonic invasion my visions had shown me. But fear and propaganda had turned me into a monster in their eyes. They couldn't see that everything I'd done was to save them. "So be it," I whispered. "May you live long enough to see your mistake." Celeste raised the blade for the final strike. "Goodbye, Damien."

Five years. That’s how long Ethan Carter dedicated his life to the Hale family’s empire, believing loyalty would earn him respect. Instead, he was framed for theft and infidelity—cast out like trash to justify his contracted wife’s divorce. His ex-wife, Vanessa Hale, a national screen goddess, painted him as a scumbag, turning fans and street mobs against him. Homeless, disgraced, and beaten, Ethan thought his suffering had reached its peak—until he uncovered the darkest secret of the Hale family. His father-in-law and brother-in-law were criminals masquerading as elites, their hands dipped in underground dealings. But before he could dig out enough evidence to expose them, masked men ambushed him, leaving him broken and bleeding in an alleyway. As death seemed inevitable, a mysterious woman saved him. Little did he know, she was Olivia Roberts, daughter to Tim Roberts, William Sinclair’s best friend. William Sinclair is the richest and most respected man in all if New York and beyond, he is the owner of the largest conglomerate in all of New York, and even more shocking… Ethan was his long-lost grandson. With a new identity, a limitless empire at his fingertips, and a searing thirst for revenge, Ethan returns—not as the discarded son-in-law but as a king ready to take back everything stolen from him. The game had changed, and this time, he made the rules.

"Step away. She's mine." Eric’s voice was calm but firm, his smirk barely concealed. The man in front of him scoffed. "And what about her?" He pointed at another woman. Eric chuckled, unfazed. "Also mine." The man’s face twisted in disbelief. "And… her too?" Eric nodded casually. "What can I say? A king doesn’t turn away his queens." Frustrated, the other man threw his hands in the air. "How many women do you even need?!" Eric grinned, tilting his head slightly. "As long as beauty exists, they will always belong to me." --- Life had always been cruel. Fired from his job over a ridiculous reason. Dumped by his girlfriend for being broke. Just when he thought things couldn’t get worse, a drunk driver sent him flying. Most would call it the end. For Eric Carter, it was just the beginning. [Ding! Activation requirements met. System initializing…] [Welcome to the Royal Harem System—Dedicated to building the greatest harem in history.] A slow, confident smirk stretched across Eric’s lips as he cracked his knuckles. "From today onward, I, Eric Carter, will be the undisputed Harem King." He straightened his posture, radiating newfound confidence. "Excuse me, miss. You're breathtaking. Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

Long before gods walked among mortals and kingdoms dared dream of power, there was Alister—a being not born, but declared into existence by the will of the world itself. Wielding strength beyond comprehension and a charisma that swayed empires, he vanished at the peak of his reign. Some claimed he ascended. Others swore he was sealed. All agreed: if Alister returned, the world would never be the same. Five centuries later, reality tears open. From a rift beyond space and time, Alister walks once more into a world unrecognizable—skyscrapers scraping the heavens, dragons living in the shadows, and mysterious abominations known as Nullborn haunting the land. With a smile on his lips and golden eyes that see through fate itself, Alister steps into a modern age... and accidentally collides with Jade, a full-blooded dragon hiding her past behind emerald eyes and forced smiles. As chaos erupts and monstrous forces rise, Alister's presence alone shakes the balance of peace. Though he seems calm, even kind, there is something deeply unsettling about him—something not even Jade, with all her ancient blood, can explain. When blood is spilled and oaths are broken, fear spreads like wildfire. Now hunted by those sworn to uphold peace, and watched by forgotten cults that once worshipped him, Alister must rediscover why he was made—and what his return truly means for the world. Because some legends were buried for a reason.

The Moretti crime family, to whom Lucas’ family owes a large debt, takes a sudden interest in him. **Silas Moretti**, the ruthless mafia don, sees Lucas as a valuable asset in his quest for power and control.

Adrian Kaine was once the deadliest operative in Shadow Unit, a black-ops division buried so deep in the government that most agents never lived long enough to speak of it. But when a mission in Kargath Province turned into a massacre, Adrian became the sole survivor, then the government’s most wanted traitor. His squad was slaughtered. Evidence was planted. His name was erased. And those who orchestrated the betrayal made sure he was declared dead. They miscalculated. Eighteen months later, Adrian resurfaces as a ghost in the ruins of his old headquarters, hunting for the truth buried beneath the ashes. But he is not the only one searching. Marcus Hale, his former teammate and supposed friend, now leads a covert kill team tasked with eliminating him. Above Marcus sits Colonel Mason Kade, the official who signed the order that condemned Adrian’s entire squad. And watching all of them from the shadows is a faceless mastermind known only by a single encrypted codename: Cipher. As Adrian follows a trail of classified leaks, dead operatives, and impossible coincidences, he uncovers a horrifying secret: a covert plan known as the Ashen Protocol, designed to rewrite the balance of global power—using bodies like his as the foundation stones. But the deeper he digs, the more the truth twists around him. Old allies hide new agendas. Enemies speak with familiar voices. And the real traitor may be closer than he has ever imagined. Hunted by governments, mercenaries, and a ghost from his past, Adrian must become something colder than a soldier and deadlier than a weapon. He must become the nightmare they tried to bury. And this time… he’s not the one running.
