Shadow And Bone

For three years, I was the dirt beneath the Lin family's feet. As a live-in son-in-law, I endured their slaps, their insults, and their endless humiliation just to pay for my sister's medical bills. But when my wife frames me for theft at her own mother's birthday banquet to force a divorce, I finally hit rock bottom. They think they’ve broken me. They think I'm just a penniless beggar. But as the divorce papers hit the floor, a fleet of luxury Maybachs tears through the rain. The world's most powerful shadow syndicate has found their long-lost heir. I don't reveal my power right away—instead, I let my wealth quietly choke their lines of credit, buy out their bosses, and dismantle their lives piece by piece. They wanted a beggar. Now, they'll have to beg me.

Cast into the Velmora Abyss—a place worse than hell—I was supposed to die. Instead, the darkness had other plans. [Void Prime System Activated!] With the ability to devour the very essence of everything I kill, I no longer need their pity.

One by one, the stolen thrones will be torn down. Let their light shine one last time. Because when I return, only darkness will remain.
