The Dominion summoned a hero. What they got was a man the Brand cannot control. Luen Varyth was an old man, content with his lot in life as the godfather of a large mafia, ready to enjoy his years of retirement… Before an unexpected ambush forced his hand. Stepping through a portal of light was dangerous, and stealing the destiny of someone else was tasteless; but when the choice was between acting dubious and staying back to get riddled with bullets there was no doubt his path. Stranded in a new world, surrounded by people with shady intentions, he would face the option. Toe the line… Or, once again, create his own path… Because once the truth behind their “holy summoning” is revealed, the world will understand one thing. They should never have brought him here.

He gave her everything. For three years, Rowan stood by her side when the world abandoned her. He sacrificed his time, his wealth, and nearly destroyed his own empire just to heal her broken legs. The day she finally stood again she threw him away. Mocked. Humiliated. Replaced by the man who once abandoned her. To them, he was nothing more than a useless husband. But what they didn’t know… was that the “useless man” they discarded… owns the very empire they were begging to climb. As hidden identities unravel and buried truths come to light, regret comes too late. Because once he walks away there’s no turning back. And this time, he’s not saving anyone.

Iron would then go on to have a fateful encounter with a girl who is deeply connected with Valhalla, could she be the key to destroying his enemies once and for all?

In a world where mortals strive to defy the heavens, where mountains float and oceans roar with spiritual beasts, the cultivation world stands on the edge of chaos. The Radiant Court rules above all—seven Thrones, unshaken for ten thousand years. They decide who rises. They decide who falls. But there is a legend whispered in silence. A name spoken only in riddles. A figure who once stood above the heavens… and walked away. Chen Fi. No one knows where he came from. No one knows how strong he truly was. Only the oldest cultivators remember the tremble in the world when he last raised a hand. They say he once refused the title of Immortal Emperor. They say he gave up the Nine Dao Thrones. They say he saw something beyond power… and chose peace. Now, hidden in a quiet valley unknown to most maps, he lives as a humble hermit—drinking tea, fishing under cherry blossoms, and raising a single orphan boy. But peace never lasts. When the world begins to stir—when arrogant sects send disciples to claim his land, when the Thrones grow fearful of a man they could never control—old echoes awaken. Chen Fi does not seek conflict. But should conflict find him… He reminds the world why it once knelt.

For twenty years, Soren fought monsters in another world. He cleared dungeons, survived endless battles, and outplayed enemies far stronger than himself until he finally saved that world and was granted a single reward: his return to Earth. But Earth is no longer the place he remembers. Mysterious Illusion Points now appear without warning, releasing monsters into modern cities. Humans with awakened abilities are registered as Hunters, tasked with eliminating the threats before civilization collapses. Once, Soren was just a deliveryman. Once, he was a hero no one knew. Reluctantly, he applies to become a Hunter not for honor or justice, but for money. He has already saved one world before. So how difficult could it be… to survive the game a second time?

His power begins to awaken. And the man they buried rises again. Now bound in a contract marriage with a mysterious heiress, and with his enemies still lurking in the shadows, Leon begins his rise once more. Leon will hunt down every enemy who dared to touch his family. They wanted him gone. Now they’ll wish he stayed dead.
