The Ruined Death Knight

Beneath the glamour of the Whitlock Group lies a betrayal of the most vicious kind. Martin Whitlock, a seemingly perfect billionaire CEO, is stabbed and thrown off a cliff by Miller, his identical twin brother who grew up in bitter poverty. But death refuses to claim Martin. Saved by a mysterious doctor, he awakens with a ruined face and a reality far more excruciating than his stab wounds: his beloved wife, Moana, isn't even looking for him. Instead, she willingly welcomes his murderer into her bed and his company, all for the sake of power. Betrayed by his own flesh and blood and discarded by his wife, the angelic side of Martin died in that forest. He returns to his empire from the very bottom, disguised as a disfigured courier. He doesn't come demanding answers. He comes to reclaim his empire, shatter his enemies' sanity, and make the wife who betrayed him crawl and beg at his feet. Because the ultimate revenge isn't murder; it is absolute poverty.

They burned his legacy. But some ghosts refuse to stay dead. Adrian Knight was born to inherit the empire that ruled everything business, influence, and power. The Knight family name opened doors, but behind those doors lay betrayal, greed, and a truth too dark to survive the light. When a scandal framed him for crimes he didn’t commit, his world shattered overnight. The family he trusted turned on him. The woman he loved watched his empire fall. And in one violent night, Adrian Knight disappeared leaving behind a world that believed he was gone forever. Years later, a man called Adrian Cole emerges from the ashes. He’s not the golden heir they once knew. He’s colder now, smarter, dangerous a man carved by silence and vengeance. To the world, he is a self-made billionaire with no past. But to those who wronged him, he is the storm they never saw coming. His return shakes the foundations of the empire that betrayed him. But when he crosses paths with Elena, the woman he once loved now bound to his greatest enemy, Victor Knight old wounds begin to bleed again. The fire of revenge he’s carried for years threatens to consume him from the inside. Love and hate blur until he can no longer tell them apart. Adrian came back to destroy his past, not to relive it. Yet every step he takes brings him closer to the man he swore he buried. Every truth he uncovers forces him to question what kind of monster he’s become in the name of justice. Will he reclaim what was stolen from him, or lose himself to the darkness he’s been chasing? When the forgotten son returns, will vengeance set him free or finally destroy him?

🏆 ["Sliver Medal" in System Category of "Meganovel Annual Writing Contest 2022"] 🏆 ‘Perhaps being stuck in a game isn’t so bad!’, Kyle thought moments before he was mistaken for a hidden boss by a rather dim, but quite powerful knight. That was the moment he learned what immediate regret meant. Kyle was an ordinary student at an insignificant university. Being the pinnacle of ‘average’, his life was as mundane as it could get, that is, until he found himself unable to log out of the full dive game that had recently released. Life in a game wasn’t too bad, that is if one’s not hunted day and night by the players, who mistook him for a special hidden boss with near human level A.I. And no amount of trying to convince them that he was, in fact, human helped. He survived a while until a knight kicked him though a boss door in a dungeon. Usually, facing a lich at such a low level would be a death sentence. By all means, it should have been. But lady luck smiled on him for once in his absolutely mundane life, and he found himself in the possession of said lich. About as confused as he can get, Kyle’s new life took a rather awkward and bizarre turn. And as such, his life of adventure fille with colourful and quirky characters, ferocious monsters and downright terrifying encounters began!

Ethan Morrison spent eighteen years believing that if he loved harder, sacrificed more, and endured in silence, his family would finally accept him. Instead, the day he awakened his legendary bloodline, his parents forced him to his knees. "You don't deserve that power," his father spat. When Ethan refused to surrender his future to his favored brother, twenty brutal lashes tore his back open until he collapsed in a pool of his own blood. Locked inside a cold basement and abandoned to die, he clung to the only person he thought would save him. His fiancée. Instead, she drugged him, stole his bloodline for another man, and watched without remorse as his brother claimed everything that should have been his. "You'll understand one day," she whispered. No. She would be the one forced to understand. Cast aside as a powerless nobody, Ethan is offered a marriage no one wants—a union with Serena Clarke, the beautiful Virgin Priestess cursed to remain in an endless coma. To everyone else, she is nothing more than a burden. But fate had other plans. The moment Ethan touched his new bride, an ancient True Dragon awakened within him, while Serena's legendary True Phoenix Body answered his call. Together, they unlocked a power that could shake the world. The discarded son became the heir of legends. The broken man became the strongest Dragon. And the woman who betrayed him? She can only watch in regret as Ethan marries into her own family... becoming her aunt's husband, the very man she once abandoned. He is now her uncle. "They whipped me because they thought I was weak," Ethan said, his dragon aura shaking the heavens. "Now they'll kneel because they finally know who I am."

So what if you are the King?" "What if you are a Dragon Lord, a High Mage, or a Holy Knight?" "What if you are the ruling Emperor, the unrivaled Sword Saint, or a god descending from the heavens?" "I will trample over you all." "Only I am the strongest.”

​When the Mana Collapse comes, the surface world will burn. Everyone knows it—except the elites who siphon the realm's energy to fuel their lavish lifestyle, discarding the working class the moment their Mana Veins burn out. ​Han was one of those working-class casualties: a top-tier Logistics and Barrier Strategist betrayed by the High Hero and left for dead. But Han didn't die. Equipped with precise foresight and an intimate understanding of the realm’s architectural flaws, he purchases the dead obsidian mine nobody wants. ​Under the guise of a failing, debt-ridden mining venture, Han recruits the forgotten: blacklisted dwarven blacksmiths, overworked construction laborers, and discarded healers whose mana is deemed "insufficient." Deep below the surface, they aren't just digging for ore; they are constructing Sanctuary—a fully automated, geothermal-powered underground metropolis protected by God-tier mana barriers. ​When the Mana Collapse hits and mutated beasts devour the surface, the corrupt Hero flees underground, demanding absolute control over the last safe zone. He expects a cave full of peasants. Instead, he marches straight into a God-grade kill-zone built by the very people he threw away.
