Painful Love

Kael Dravon is an eighteen year old orphan living on the outskirts of Draven's Hollow, a small town built over ruins no one will explain. He has no family, no cultivation ability by every official measure, and no place in a world that ranks human worth by spiritual power. He has survived on isolation and discipline alone. On the morning of the Ashveil Order's tri-annual recruitment visit, something shifts inside Kael during his daily meditation. A seal of ancient origin fractures and releases a cultivation base so immense and so foreign to the known elemental spectrum that it destroys the Order's examination crystal on contact. The Order, alarmed and intrigued, takes him as an outer disciple. Within the Ashveil Order, Kael is immediately targeted. Daven Sorrel, the Order's top genius and the son of a senior elder, sees Kael as a threat to his standing and orchestrates a campaign of humiliation against him. Kael endures it with cold patience, studying the Order's resources, absorbing its techniques, and growing at a rate that defies every known cultivation model. As Kael rises through the Realms, he begins uncovering the truth buried beneath his own existence. His parents were not wanderers or commoners. They were the last surviving members of the Dravon bloodline, direct descendants of a lineage the Heavenly Dominion Empire declared extinct two decades ago. The Ashveil Order participated in their destruction. His entire childhood of erasure was not an accident. It was a containment strategy. The First Being's blood does not permit containment.

Julian gave up his wealth, his family, and his identity for the woman he loved. For three years, he lived as a mocked and humiliated house husband while secretly helping his wife rise to the top. But on their anniversary night, he discovers the cruel truth—he was never more than a placeholder in her heart. Betrayed and discarded, Julian finally walks away.

And now that he’s done loving her… He’s taking everything back.

They killed his father and framed him for crimes he didn't commit, they also didn't stop until they stole and destroy everything he loved. They all thought they were done with Marcus until five years later. Five years in a supernatural realm transformed him into something the monsters never expected. Now he's back with powers that defy reality, wealth that commands respect, and a hunger for revenge that won't be satisfied until every enemy bleeds. The ex-fiancée who betrayed him? She wants him back. The sister he thought was dead? She's been weaponized against him. The cosmic entity devouring dimensions? It's coming for him specifically. Marcus Vale thought he was hunting the people who destroyed his family. He didn't know his entire bloodline was designed for war, that his mother has been building an interdimensional army, or that making the Devourer cry would be the *least* weird thing about his week. Revenge was supposed to be something simple. Instead, he's got: - Three powerful women fighting for his attention - A reformed apocalypse monster as a pen pal - 500 supernatural soldiers about to invade Earth - And a family tree that connects to literal demons And now everyone—human and monster alike—is about to learn what happens when you push a Vale too far.

Arthur York gave his loyalty to his wife, Seraphina, and his sweat to her family business. In return, they gave him five years in prison. When jealous coworkers framed him for a crime he did not commit, Arthur expected his wife's father, George Edward, to seek the truth. Instead, George used him as a scapegoat to protect the company. Even worse, Seraphina stood in silence and watched as the guards took him away. For five years, Arthur endured the cold walls of a cell. He was stripped of his dignity and left with nothing but a burning desire for justice. On the morning of his release, he walks out of the prison gates expecting a life of poverty. He is met by a luxury car and a man in a tailored suit. The man introduces himself as a top lawyer. He hands Arthur a briefcase containing premium bank cards and legal documents. A small forgotten investment Arthur made thirteen years ago has matured. He is now the billionaire chairman of Apex Horizon Group. This is the exact company that holds the financial strings to George Edward and his business. Arthur walked into prison as a betrayed man. He walks out as the most powerful figure in the city. The people who framed him and the family that abandoned him are about to learn a harsh lesson. Arthur York is back, and he is coming for everything.

Born into the most prestigious clan of sword masters, I was destined to become a legend. My father believed I would be his prodigy, training me relentlessly to awaken my Hakana — the power that defines a true master. My family had high expectations. My friends believed I would be the next mighty warrior. But everything shattered when my father was betrayed — murdered by his closest friend, who stole the power meant to be mine. Stripped of my birthright, cast aside as a nobody, I must now claw my way back from nothing. I will challenge the strongest masters, slay the demons in my path, and reclaim the power that was stolen from me. But as blood stains my hands and the darkness creeps into my soul, I must ask myself: Will I rise as the hero I was born to be? Or will I fall... and become the Demon Slayer I was never meant to be?

They thought he was dead. They thought they had won. Left for dead on the battlefield, Supreme General Asher Blackmoor of Drakmont was written off as a blind, broken man.

Now, the man they believed defeated has returned—stronger, fiercer, and hungrier for revenge. Armed with a vengeance that burns brighter than the fires of war, he will crush anyone who dared to cross him, past or present. Because in Blackmoor’s world, no one escapes justice. They should have killed him when they had the chance. What does the General have in mind as he makes his comeback?

On Hart's birthday, candle and light, cakes and laughter, that was how the Crowe family celebrated him for the first time and he thought maybe their laughter was real, but that day became the day he was killed by his own wife, the same woman who was laughing too loud on his birthday drove a knife to his heart. As Hart slowly went blank, only one thought struck his mind. "If he was given a second chance, he won't marry the same woman again." He gasped blood and died. And he was given a second chance, coming back alive an hour before his birthday. Whatever force had given him a second chance, he would use it to save himself, and this time, he would destroy the Crowe family.

For three years Kai Mercer cleaned their cars, ate their leftovers, and answered to whatever name they felt like calling him that day. He let them. Not because he was weak. Not because he had no choice. Because the people who sent him into the Shen household told him to wait. To watch. To learn exactly how rotten their empire was from the inside before he burned it down. Then they dragged him out in front of three hundred guests, handed him divorce papers with his wife's signature already dry on the last page, and threw him into the street like he was never a man at all. That was the last mistake they will ever make. Kai Mercer is not who they think he is. He never was. And every person who smiled while they destroyed him is about to find out that the nobody they threw away was the only thing standing between them and the most powerful family in the country. He is not coming back for revenge. He is coming back to collect. And this time nobody is walking him to the door.

The world didn't end with a bang. It ended with hunger. When the apocalypse arrives, Ryan Cole does what millions of ordinary people do—he locks himself inside his apartment and waits for help.

After barely surviving an attempted home invasion, Ryan discovers something impossible on his phone: The Exchange of All Things. A mysterious system that rewards him simply for staying alive.
