Noah Stone has spent the last three years living a simple life. He works long hours as a mechanic, keeps his head down, and tries to be a good husband. He doesn’t remember who he was before an accident erased his past, but he’s made peace with it. Some things, he tells himself, are better left unknown. Then, in a single day, everything changes. His marriage ends. Strangers show up calling him “Chairman.” And the world he thought he understood starts to crack open. Suddenly, Noah finds himself pulled into a reality that doesn’t match the man he believes he is one filled with power, wealth, and expectations he never asked for. People who once overlooked him begin watching closely. Others seem threatened by his very existence. The problem is, Noah still doesn’t know the full truth about his own past. All he knows is this: If he really was someone powerful before he lost his memory, there must be a reason he disappeared. And not everyone is ready for him to remember.

They threw him into the dark to feed a slumbering god. They didn't know the god was starving—and that the boy was hungrier. For ten thousand years, the Blood Lotus Sect has reigned supreme, built on a foundation of ruthless cultivation and a dark secret: they sacrifice their weakest newborns to the Abyssal Pit to appease an ancient horror. But when a nameless, hollow boy is tossed into the dark, he doesn't scream. He doesn't break. With a soul as empty as the void itself, he catches the eye of the dying god below. Instead of consuming him, the ancient entity makes him its vessel. Now, sharing his mind with a cynical, world-ending parasite, the boy climbs out of the abyss wearing the stolen skin and identity of a murdered Outer Court disciple named Dver. To the arrogant young masters and paranoid elders of the sect, Dver is just another piece of trash. A traumatized survivor clinging to the bottom of the hierarchy. They are dead wrong. He is an apex predator wearing a sheep’s skin, and his cultivation requires him to eat theirs. As Dver systematically infiltrates the sect, turning their deadly politics into his own personal hunting ground, he catches the eye of Lyra—the Sect’s flawless, untouchable Saintess. She believes she can purify the broken boy. She thinks she can save him. But Dver doesn't want salvation. He wants to slowly, deliciously corrupt her until she is just as monstrous as he is. A grand sacrifice is approaching. The elders are preparing to feast on the heavens. But they have no idea that the abyss is already walking among them, smiling, and waiting for the perfect moment to swallow them whole.

“Deucalion stop! you don’t have to do this, it’s me you want” yelled Bobby as Deucalion raised his claw into the air and almost rips Charlie throat. “So now the almighty Bobby Thompson begs, is it because he is your son? was my son not worth it?” look me in the eye and answer me! roared Deucalion. Looking defeated, Bobby stood up “he crossed the line Deucalion you know that he involved people who weren’t involved in this, my daughter! And I didn’t kill him.” Deucalion now surprised, itching “who then killed Steele?” he asked Deucalion still strangling Charlie who was almost unconscious now. “Well, I suppose it will be me”, an unknown figure walked from the darkness into the light. “I am not your enemy here, I am just a necessary tool that will help you to achieve your revenge against your enemy, so do you want avenge your son or do what is right?” he said as he looked at them grinning.

Mr. Wesley burst into Bryan's office, causing Bryan to quickly rise from his chair. "Aren't you done with your work? What use are you here for in this office? My wife warned me, but I didn't listen. I told her you aren't a good husband material," Mr. Wesley stated bluntly. "I am very sorry, father..." Bryan attempted to speak, but before he could finish his sentence, a sudden slap landed on his face, causing him to clutch his cheek in pain. "I hate hearing sorry. I need to see action," his father-in-law asserted, his anger evident. Bryan clenched his fist in frustration, aware that arguing back would not be of any benefit. Thinking everything is over could be the most saddest experienced one could encounter in life. But taking a new turn around could be overwhelming. Bryan was about to lose hope when his lost hope was redeemed, as his life take a total turn around bringing his in-law to shame as he a claimed his newfound power.
