Under The Oak Tree Characters

The last strand of patience I had snapped into shreds when she chose her ex-lover’s son over our dying daughter. Now she paraded around smiling, flaunting him like a trophy, while I was left with nothing but the cold, lifeless body of my child. This wasn’t about hurt anymore. It wasn’t even about pain. She’d stolen a soul from me — and she would feel every atom of what I felt, and more. “I want a divorce.” “That’s not happening. You and I are in this together,” she screeched, eyes boring into mine, searching for the man who always bent to her will. “You will sign the papers,” I said, every word a quiet stone. “Make me!” I stepped closer. My hand closed at her throat — delicate, trembling under my grip — and forced her to meet me. “Sign the papers,” I whispered, voice low and cold. “Or I’ll make you suffer so that even our daughter hears your screams from six feet under.”

Two years ago, the trillion dollar king of the Sterling Financial Empire vanished after a brutal assassination attempt on a mountain road, left to die by his unfaithful wife and treacherous family. He woke up with zero memories in the muddy gutters of the city slums, taken in by a kindly diner owner and his beautiful daughter Clara, who named him Marcus. For twenty four months, he lived as a quiet kitchen beggar, chopping onions and washing dirty plates. But when a ruthless loan shark and a corrupt young master slide into the slums to destroy his new home and force Clara into a dark fate, a brutal pipe strike to his head shatters the mental wall. The amnesiac beggar is dead. Christian Sterling has awakened. Armed with a single text message that can freeze entire national banking sectors in two minutes, and backed by a fiercely loyal elite security shadow team, the ultimate master begins his terrifying cold blooded comeback. They thought he was a bug under their shoes, but they are about to learn the true price of crossing a hidden god.

In the ruthless Solar Kingdom, where gods rule with iron fists and betrayal flows like blood, Lian is a broken slave marked by a dark curse—the mysterious Blood Key branded on his chest, a symbol of an ancient pact with a forgotten god of hunger. Beaten, burned, and forgotten, Lian’s life changes forever when he embraces a cursed power that grows stronger with every soul he devours. Now, walking the thin line between man and monster, he rises from the shadows as the elusive Black Ghost—a force of vengeance and rebellion. But the kingdom trembles under the cruelty of Prince Kairo, whose own dark transformation threatens to ignite war. As hunted whispers spread and the royal court launches a relentless pursuit, Lian must navigate deadly betrayals, forbidden powers, and a love that could either save his fading humanity or consume it entirely. Amidst swirling conspiracies and ancient secrets, one truth remains: only the Blood Key can break the seal binding their fate—and the princess who holds it may be both salvation and destruction. Blood will rise. Kingdoms will fall. And in the shadows, a god’s hunger awakens.

Mercy is a luxury when currency of survival is lifespan. Crackle . . . hiss . . . boom . . . rain falls on corpses.

His shaking hands hold a divine artefact - The Eye of Judgement. His body decays. His breath comes out in broken gasps - huff, cough, splat. And then… betrayal. The only family he's ever had - his sister, Li Xue - looks coldly on as she drives the dagger deeper into his chest. Thud… hiss… crackle… She calls him "nothing but an adopted mistake." A man named Yang Xun, brilliantly like an idol of deceit, thanks him mockingly. That's when Li Wei realises - the world doesn't reward love. It rewards survival. When he dies, something ancient is roused inside The Eye of Judgement. And when he opens his eyes again - it's 2025, the day the god forsaken game, LYTABern, descends upon Earth.

The Demon Lord had grown weary of his existence as the strongest being alive. Power no longer thrilled him; victory had lost its taste. The only thing he now looked forward to was listening to the stories of Lucian, a human captive. Of all the tales Lucian told, the Demon Lord most enjoyed those about the quiet lives of ordinary humans — their laughter, struggles, and fleeting joys. He envied that simplicity and secretly wished he could experience it himself. One day, as Lucian spoke, the demons under his rule rose in rebellion. They gathered their strength and turned against their lord. The Demon Lord, instead of resisting, welcomed the uprising. At last, he saw a chance to end his long, lonely reign. When he fell, his powerful soul refused to fade. It drifted through the void for centuries, searching, wandering — until it found a newborn’s body, one that had just died moments before. And just like that, the Demon Lord began life anew — as an ordinary human. But some beings, no matter how they try, can never truly remain ordinary.

In a modern world draped in the illusion of normalcy, secrets crawl beneath the surface.

Under his brutal mentorship, Kael is reshaped, body and soul, into something the world has never seen: a martial-arts prodigy with forbidden medical mastery. As monsters tear through cities, noble families scheme, and powerful organizations hunt the reborn legend, Kael finds himself at the center of a hidden war, a war he might just be born to end. But power comes with a price. Can he uncover his true lineage before it consumes him? Or is he merely a pawn in a game older than time?
