Single Father

When Detective Alex Mercer is called to a gruesome murder scene, he finds a single clue beside the body: an envelope marked ECLIPSE. At first, it looks like the return of a long-dead serial killer. But as more bodies appear, Alex uncovers a hidden network built on secrets, blackmail, and power—one that reaches deep into Ravenswood's police department. Then comes the impossible: a message from Daniel Cross, Alex's former partner who supposedly died five years ago. As the city spirals toward chaos and a mysterious operation known as Phase Two begins, Alex is forced to question everyone he trusts—including the people closest to him. But the deeper he digs, the more terrifying the truth becomes. Because Eclipse isn't just hunting victims. It's preparing to expose a secret powerful enough to bring an entire city to its knees. And someone Alex thought was dead has been waiting in the shadows all along.

The continent of Shenzhou is torn in half by the catastrophic Cleave War. In this broken world, the ancient Aether Covenant is no longer celebrated, it is feared.

Now left half-human and half-dragon, he can feel his distant partner dying a thousand miles away, dragging him down with him. Hunted by both the oppressive Immortal Empire and the ruthless Shadow Dominion, Chen Lan is forced to find the Silent Blade, a legendary relic rumored to be the only thing capable of stabilizing a shattered bond. But the blade holds a dark truth that could wipe out the future of an entire species. With time running out, Chen Lan must navigate a web of betrayal, ancient guardians, and political schemes where a single wrong move means the destruction of his soul.

"Yesterday, I was a bug you could crush. Today, I am the bank that owns your soul." For five years, Qin Ming was the joke of Hanhai City—the "Living Door Mat" of the Lin family. He endured the insults of his mother-in-law and the physical torment of his boss, Chu Haoran, all while secretly using his genius to build his wife's company, into a billion-dollar empire. But on their fifth anniversary, the betrayal is absolute. His wife, Lin Xinyi, reveals she was only using his "Dragon Blood" to stay young, and with her ex-lover Chu Haoran, she shoots Qin Ming and tosses him into the ocean. As he sinks, his blood hits the family's "Dragon-Vault Seal." In a single, world-shaking moment, the Dragon God System doesn't just wake up—it liquidates the ancient hidden reserves of the world's 1,000 largest sects. In less than twenty-four hours, the System transfers every cent of stolen "Spirit Wealth" into his account.

Wes Calder used to save people for a living. Now the System wants him to farm them. When Portage City is swallowed in a single night, a "Survival Assistance Protocol" lights up in front of every survivor's eyes — levels, quests, loot, the whole game. It looks like salvation. It plays like salvation. Wes almost believes it, right up until his squad's data analyst notices the math doesn't add up: the people who level fastest disappear soonest, and the "safe zones" cycle like feeding troughs on a schedule. They're not inside a dungeon. They're inside something's stomach, and the game is how it keeps its food calm, cooperative, and coming back for more. With a fracturing squad, a faction of true believers trading the weak for "Blessings," and a countdown he can't see, Wes has to find a way to survive a system built to be survived — without becoming the kind of person who feeds it.
