Marriage First, Love Second

Cast out as a child, betrayed by blood, and erased from his father’s empire—Adrian DeLuca was never meant to return. To the mafia, he was just a bastard, a mistake, a ghost better left in exile. But ghosts have a way of coming back. Now a cold and calculating lawyer with nothing to lose, Adrian returns to the city that abandoned him. He doesn’t come with guns blazing—he comes with something deadlier: a mind sharpened by years in the shadows, an unshakable will for revenge, and the hunger to tear down the empire brick by brick. His half-brothers rule the DeLuca syndicate with arrogance and cruelty. His father sits on the throne of blood, untouchable. But Adrian knows their secrets, their weaknesses, their sins. He will turn allies into traitors, rivals into pawns, and enemies into stepping stones. Every courtroom victory, every hostile takeover, every life ruined brings him closer to his endgame. But power has a price. The deeper Adrian dives into the underworld, the more dangerous the game becomes. Enemies close in, the law hunts him, and even love becomes a weapon aimed at his heart. In a world ruled by loyalty and blood, Adrian must decide: Will he reclaim the throne as the true heir… or burn the entire empire to the ground and bury his family with it?

A hero must be compassionate, selfless and courageous. But that isn't all. Because a hero must also be powerful. In this world, power is everything. Strength decides who gets to save lives and who's left with community service. That’s why I was nothing — a rank 50 E-Class reject, skating through the streets, saving what little I could while the real heroes battled gods and monsters. Then one day, I died. Almost. Dragged into the abyss, I was given a second chance: the Forever Core. An armor that evolves. A system that never stops adapting. Every battle, every hit, every mistake, I come back stronger. Now, the monsters that once crushed me can’t kill me the same way twice. I must adapt. Evolve. I must grow stronger and fight harder. Because humanity is worth fighting for. Even if I have to burn every villain alive to prove it.
