Snow Sword Stride

Kael dropped his hands down, causing his blade to run along the jagged ground, sending burst of sparks infused with dark-magic across the floor. His victim, a bloodied werewolf, laid on the ground, staring at him with his one trembling eye. Kael growled as he knelt beside the dying beast. “They sent me to tell you, wolf…” He lifted his sword and placed it on werewolf’s neck. “… your end has come.” ................. The world was dying The Blinding Veil - a divine seal formed by the beings of past was the one thing stopping the entire world from meeting its end. But it’s effects are already fading as the seal had begun to break and the evil curse the ancestors had tried to ward off with the seal had begun to seep in through the cracks in the bleeding veil. Vampires were going rogue, werewolves killed without reason, the Elves turned to dark magic, the faes sat and watched the evil unfold without interfering. And the humans? They were reduced to hundreds, losing a battle even their techs couldn't help win. But Kael Draven, a god-blade wielding killer with no memory of his past, is not like them. Once a child soldier and now a hired gun, Kael believes his targets are the danger—until a failed assignment reveals a terrible truth: They're not the threat. He is. Chased by his former masters, Kael joins a half-elf warlock, a exiled werewolf, a Fae torturer, and a human prodigy. As the world is about to end, Kael learns that he's not human—nor hybrid. He is something more... With everything and everyone after him, will Kael become the monster he was designed to be, or seal the pact that wants to end him?

Dr. Ken Ardent did not vanish—he was buried alive by the state he tried to save. Once a famous geneticist in his previous life, Ken is now a ghost in the submerged maze beneath Amsterdam, leading a handful of outcast scientists who are themselves experts. Their bodies have been irreversibly rewritten, holding a feared secret: the cure for immunity. When the virus he has long foreseen brings devastation to Europe, Ken is the continent's most sought-after man. The same people who put him away as a criminal now scour the underwater canals, praying to catch his work. But his suggested remedy is a double-edged sword—to reveal it is to sign his people's death warrant. Traitor from within and pursued by an unstoppable inspector who sees not a cure but a biological weapon, Ken is driven to the brink. He must decide between protecting the only family he has left behind, or unleashing a discovery that can save the world—or complete its destruction. In a town where all gossip is heard and all friends can be enemies, the only thing more contagious than the plague is the truth.

Alex Snow had always been a simp for his wife, Lily Snow who was the CEO of Snow Innovations who he had been married to for three years.

But what exactly is Damien after? His wealth or Alex himself?

The rain had been falling on Moonveil City since dawn, running in silver threads down the tiled roofs, spilling from gutters into the crooked alleys. The sky was low and iron-grey, heavy enough to press against the tower-tops of the Martial Regulation Bureau. Inside the courtyard of the Moonveil District Arms Hall, Kael Ruan stood in silence, a new-issued badge in his hand. He was twenty-four, too young, too brash, they’d said, yet here he was, sworn as the youngest Arms Keeper in the city’s history. His mentor, Master Renji, watched from the covered steps, eyes narrowed as if weighing more than just the rain. [Silent Oath System Activated] Oath Energy: 0/100 Core Blade Slots: Shadowsteel (Locked), Frostvein (Locked), Dawnpiercer (Locked) Techniques: Oath Cut (Locked), Sword Recall (Locked) The voice cold, ringing inside his skull had woken with his oath to defend the district.
