My blood brothers shattered my Divine Core and threw me away to die in the mortal slums. The unarguably God of War is now a familiar figure to the world as the "useless" live-in husband of Ravenwood's coldest CEO, Aria Sterling. Kaelen Vance was the top predator of the secret supernatural world. After losing his powers, he is mocked by arrogant billionaires and despised by a wife who believes she wed a coward.

As ruthless factions underground attack Aria's empire and threaten the only family that had sheltered him, they make a fatal mistake. The people who are out to kill her are unaware that the man who is sweeping her floors is a silent "trash" and the most dangerous man in the world. Kaelen has had enough of being a fool.

Kim Do-hyun was just another potato in the crowd—an anxious college nobody waiting to fail the Awakening Program. But when the portal swallowed him, his identity shattered, and a new life took root. Now he is Han Tae-yang: a street fighter, failed streamer, and accidental legend who spent a decade trapped in Divine Tower of Gods, the cruelest game ever made. Everyone else quit. He climbed fifty floors alone. And then the game became reality. Relics bleed into the real world. Monsters walk in daylight. Governments scramble, corps rise, guilds rise, and hunters kill for scraps. Yet through chaos, one name spreads like wildfire: Loner. With sarcasm sharper than any blade, a ghost bride as his sister’s familiar, and a system that can copy powers, Tae-yang dismantles the new world one relic at a time. While others beg for safety or riches, he plots in the shadows—because for him, survival isn’t enough. He’ll break the tower. He’ll burn the system. And he’ll drag the gods themselves down with him. Action-packed. Darkly hilarious. Brutally clever. If Solo Leveling married Super Gene and raised a snarky delinquent kid, this is it.

He was running through the thick, dark forest surrounded by nothing, but danger and right now he was being hunted. Rushing along the path while holding on to a delicate armament, ain’t a joke but, when it’s something you risked it all for, it’s worth it. "Don’t let him get out of sight!” A shout echoed through, that nearly shuddered him. He was fast, but he had to take the lead, being caught by the soldiers meant nothing but trouble. After entering a denser region of the forest, he used one of his exclusive skills. ‘Stealth’, and he vanished. “What the hell? Where did he go! Find him!” He could see those soldiers conversing from a few branches above. Climbing that fast certainly helped him well. Now he had to wait for them to scatter away, which they did in just a while allowing him to escape. Entering a castle certainly proved to be a difficult task, but to him, it was just a daily routine. He walked right through the castle halls and entered a seemingly familiar room. “Alas! finally, there’s no one on my back!” He thought, letting out a sigh of relief he entered the room but was caught off-guard as he was pinned by a girl, young and beautiful but rather stronger than him. “Got you, Prince!”

David slowly opened his eyes and saw that he was now a small child riding on a dragon but not just any dragon, a golden dragon and behind him was a woman holding on to him tightly with tears falling down from her eyes. Before David could raise his head and see the face of the woman the dragon landed, landing in front of a familiar orphanage David recognized from the broken fragments of his memory he was able to recall. David upon seeing the orphanage realized that where he was and everything, he was seeing was memory of his past but this one, unlike the others, wasn’t an unclear broken fragment, it felt real, almost as though everything he was seeing was really happening. The woman then with tears still falling down from her eyes carried David and came down from golden dragon, revealing her face to be none other than Ibierana, the Golden Dragon Warrior. David upon seeing her face was beyond shocked, wondering how he knew the Golden Dragon Warrior from his past but finally realizing something, something everything from the temple calling out to him to his ability to control all four elements and even the golden power he used against the elemental beast pointed to, something he had ignore to just refused to accept all together, thinking that it was an impossibility.

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.
