To X Who Doesn't Love Me

Marcus stands outside Luminaire, an upscale restaurant he can't afford, holding a bouquet of discount flowers. Inside, his girlfriend of three years, Vanessa Chen, sits across from Derek Hastings, the same trust-fund brat who made Marcus's high school years hell. Derek's family owns Hastings Luxury Automotives, a multi-billion dollar empire. Vanessa doesn't even have the decency to look guilty. She hands Marcus back the promise ring he bought with two months' salary and says coldly: "I need someone with ambition, Marcus. Not someone who's going to be broke forever." Derek smirks, dropping his platinum card on the table. "No hard feelings, delivery boy. Some men are just born winners." Humiliated, Marcus walks twelve miles home in the rain because he can't afford the bus. He collapses on his mattress in their cramped apartment—his mother Diane wheezing in the next room from untreated asthma, his father Raymond still out working his third shift, and his 16-year-old sister Zoe studying by flashlight because the electricity's been cut again. That night, half-delirious with fever and rage, Marcus whispers: "I'd give anything to change this." [SYSTEM INITIALIZED] [LIMITLESS REBATE PROTOCOL ACTIVATED.]

He was trained to kill, but now he’s got to protect the one person who could bring him down. Damien Cross is a former black-ops operative who has lived in the shadows ever since a mission went horribly wrong. He’s haunted by betrayal and loss, and now he works as a private security specialist. He is quiet, precise, and a bit cold. When billionaire Adrian Vale approaches him with a discreet job to protect a civilian woman named Sophia Reed, Damien doesn’t ask questions. That’s just not his style. But Sophia isn’t your average target. She’s the key to Eclipse, a rogue AI surveillance program that’s buried deep in Vale Industries… and someone powerful wants her dead. Now, with assassins on his tail, betrayed by his team, and cut off from every ally he ever had, Damien has to do something he’s trained to avoid: trust someone. With Sophia’s life and the truth hanging in the balance, Damien is plunged into a brutal fight against hidden enemies and the very system he once worked for. Every move he makes brings him closer to danger. And this time, failure isn’t just about losing his life. It’s about being silenced. Forever.

Wayne Stark has always been the center of ridicule. In the eyes of his in-laws, he’s nothing but a worthless burden. Even the youngest among them doesn’t hesitate to insult or strike him, using every opportunity to remind him of his place—at the bottom. But what infuriates them more than anything is Wayne’s calm reaction. No matter the humiliation, he smiles. He speaks with respect. He never loses his cool. To them, he’s a fool. But to Wayne, it’s simply life as he knows it. What they don’t know is that their days of mocking him are numbered. Wayne was the last surviving member of the prestigious Stark family—a powerful lineage reduced to ashes in a tragic explosion that killed everyone, or so they thought. At just three years old, Wayne was rescued by a loyal servant named Zack, who vanished with him into hiding. Wayne grew up in an orphanage, unaware of his bloodline, with nothing but memories of warmth and shadows of loss. He never let the insults weigh him down—because deep inside, he believed life owed him nothing but a reason to keep smiling. Now, decades later, Zack finally reaches Lord Williams, the most respected and feared ally of the former Stark family. Upon learning the truth, Lord Williams vows to restore Wayne’s honor—by making him the wealthiest, most powerful man in the country. And Wayne? He’s ready to rise—and repay every slap, every insult, and every drop of humiliation. Not with anger. But with unstoppable dominance. And as of Lena what’s her play? Is it love or what?

My name is Ronin. I'm a freelancer, and I love reading novels. However, I never thought I would die due to the extreme frustration I experienced after reading a novel called "Savior of Mankind." Yes, you heard me right. I died due to extreme frustration after reading that terrible "Savior of Mankind" novel.

What will the human-shaped light do before sending the sword to that parallel world? What will the sword do after it enters that parallel world?
