Tanjiro As A Demon

"I conquered nations and slaughtered gods, yet I returned too late to save the only woman I ever loved." Five years ago, Alex was forced to leave his wife, Sarah, to protect her from his enemies. His entire city considered him a coward who ran away from his responsibilities because he vanished without leaving any clues about his whereabouts. The Supreme Dragon King returns to the world today after he spent years in exile, because he now commands the most powerful military force which has the ability to destroy entire empires with one order. The homecoming ceremony which should have brought him joy instead presented him with his worst possible dream. The Forbidden Dark Arts practicing Mafia Don who controls the city operations as its crime lord spent his hidden life as a secret Dark Arts practitioner who destroyed Sarah. The demon used her body to manipulate her power because he needed her to achieve his demonic cultivation he ripped her soul from her body and left her a hollow comatose shell. Sarah's parents who now kneel before her torturer demand Alex to beg the Don for mercy because they want to protect their family name and they blame him for the disaster that occurred. The people who look at Alex see him as a beggar. They have no idea they are spitting in the face of a God. Alex isn't here to negotiate. He isn't here to explain. He is here to turn the city into a graveyard. The Don believes he is the hunter? He is about to learn that against a Dragon, he is nothing but prey. "You stole her soul? Then I will burn your entire world to ashes to get it back."

Jamie Aldridge never asked for this. He never asked for the system, for the power, for the missions that drag him deeper into Seattle’s underworld. But when life throws a digital demon into your head, what choice do you have? Play the game or get played. Simple. Except it’s not that simple. Because this game? It’s rigged. And the stakes? Well, they’re higher than Jamie could ever imagine. "Who the hell are you?" Jamie demanded, his voice rough with exhaustion, and his mind a tangled mess of fear and fury. The Broker smiled, a thin, calculated curve of lips that held no warmth. "I'm the man who’s going to change your life, Jamie. Or end it. Depends on how well you play." "Play?" Jamie spat, barely holding back the urge to punch that smug look off his face. "I’m not playing your game. Not anymore." The Broker’s eyes shone with a dark and knowing aura. "Oh, but you are. You just don’t realize it yet." Now Jamie’s on a collision course with forces beyond his control—shadowy figures who pull the strings, secrets buried so deep they might as well be myths, and a system that seems determined to push him to the brink. And just when he thinks he can’t take any more, life throws him another curveball: Emma. His unbearable bully of a wife. Pregnant. Yeah. Ain't gonna end well. In a world where survival is a day-to-day battle and the lines between ally and enemy blur with every step, Jamie has to figure out one thing—how to win when every move feels like a losing one. Because failure? It’s not an option. Not when his life, and the life of his unborn child, hangs in the balance.
