Vaxien Valerost manifests Rhythmic Respiration—a skill so common it is used by literal infants to stay alive.

He awakens the Nexus-Forge, a forbidden interface that allows him to dismantle trash skills and synthesize them into God-Tier Primaries.

“Don’t make a scene, Marcus.” Quinn’s eyes, always so cold, flicked over him as if he were an unwanted stain. “A Saintess can’t be sullied by a man like you. Keep your distance.” For three years, Marcus Steel was a ghost in his own marriage. His wife, worshipped for her holy power, never let him near—not even a touch, not a night together. Yet every gathering, she let Alexander—her so-called ‘brother,’ his former best friend—rest his head in her lap, her hand stroking his hair, their laughter intimate and careless for the world to see. “Does it ever bother you?” Marcus whispered one night, desperation thick in his voice. “That you give him what you never gave me?” Sophia only smiled, distant as ever. “Alexander needs me. You… you’re just my duty.” When the earthquake shattered the banquet hall, Marcus reached for her through the falling debris. “Quinn! Please! Just take my hand—help me!” But her golden barrier was already around Alexander. She didn’t even look at Marcus as he screamed, “I’m your husband! Don’t leave me—” “I can’t save everyone,” she said, voice like ice. “Alex is injured. I promised to protect him.” As rubble crushed his body and hope faded, something ancient awoke in Marcus. Flames danced in his blood, power surging from the pain, the betrayal. From the ashes of humiliation and heartbreak, a dragon roared to life. Marcus Steel is dead. The Dragon King rises—and the Saintess will beg for mercy she never showed.

“It’s our wedding night, Sarah…” Kevin’s hands tightened around her waist as he kissed her neck, his voice rough with restrained desire. “Stay with me tonight.” For three years, he had waited for this moment. Sarah’s breath trembled against his lips. “I want you too…” Then her phone rang. Everything changed. “But Jasper needs me,” she whispered, already pulling away from his arms. Kevin stared at her in disbelief. “You’re leaving me? Tonight?” “He’s in the hospital.” “And I’m your husband.” His voice broke into something quieter, more painful. “Sarah…please. Don’t go.” But she still walked away. How his wife just left her for another man. The hotel door closed behind her, leaving Kevin alone beside the untouched champagne and the bed that still carried her perfume. Nobody knew that before becoming Sarah Sterling’s quiet, devoted husband, Kevin was GODsFALL — the legendary War God feared across the world. He abandoned power for her. Abandoned bloodshed and glory just to become the man who cooked her meals, massaged her tired feet, and waited faithfully for her every night. To Sarah, he was only her gentle husband. The man who would always understand. While Kevin sat alone in their honeymoon suite, Sarah spent the night beside another man, softly whispering: “You are my first priority, Jasper. Kevin will understand. Let me change your shirt.” That was the night Kevin’s love died. And the night the War God returned.
