Shadow Slave

Ethan Black died a forgotten man. After sacrificing everything — his dreams, savings, and dignity — for the woman he loved and her ruthless family, they discarded him like trash at her engagement party to a richer man. One final "favour" later, bullets ended his pain… or so he thought. Reborn as Vesper Kane, the tyrannical villain of the novel his late father gifted him, Ethan wakes up with a System and a death sentence: 365 days until his fated execution. With a survival probability of just 0.01%, the entire world — the Hero, Heroines, King, and even his own family — wants him dead. The story itself fights to restore the original tragic ending. Armed with future knowledge and a sharp, sarcastic System, Ethan must rewrite destiny itself. Every deviation makes him stronger… but the world pushes back harder. From hunted fugitive to shadow emperor, this is the story of a discarded man who refuses to die on schedule. The countdown has begun. Will he break the system… or will the system break him?

‎The shadow king would rule despite his solar lineage. Raised among the wolves at the High Kingdom's royal court, the son of a deposed god and exiled goddess was Kaelen, a perfect, divinely perfect archer, a god of hunters, a holy and perfect weapon of war. He masked his monstrous, divine talents from his mortal, warring brothers to avoid their hatred; however, a god could not forever be hidden away. ‎ ‎Abandoned with nothing but a bow and bloodline to the fragmented wilderness of the Outer Marches, Kaelen was destined to be more than just a conqueror; he was to become a king of them. With Vanya, a calculating and brilliant queen-merchant of steel and greed, Kaelen forged an iron alliance and began building a kingdom of outcasts from the discarded, broken remnants of society. Aethelgard would become his new, divine High Kingdom, but when the forces that yearned to annihilate him rose to attack, Kaelen would face his destiny: was he truly a God of War? When all is said and done, Kaelen lost himself in his struggle for his throne and found out the seat of power was a chilling, lonely thing to sit in. ‎

The Thornton family made one fatal mistake: they assumed the man scrubbing their floors was actually who he pretended to be. For five years, Adrian Kane played the role of the worthless son-in-law.
