The war in the Eastern Land dragged on far longer than anyone expected. It left behind nothing but desperate orphans. But one child was different. Driven by vengeance, he slaughtered over a hundred invading soldiers with his bare hands. Fifteen years later, he became a god of war hidden in plain sight. No one knew who he truly was. To the world, he was nothing more than a loyal stay-at-home husband—until the day his wife betrayed him for another man. "So, money and power were all you ever wanted?" he asked. "If you had told me from the start, I could have given you more than he ever could. I am King Fox, the legendary God of War!" SLAP! His wife struck him across the face before the crowd. "You’re nothing but a cheap mercenary. I wish you had died in the trenches!" That divorce forced him out of hiding. Now, he will take his revenge to the bitter root and build an unmatched military dynasty.

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.

Ten years ago, he disappeared silently!... After ten years, the eminent War God, Elijah Silva, returns home to repay Alice for saving his life and to punish those that tried to destroy him. Looking at his wife and a daughter he never knew he had, he made an oath; As long as they were by his side, they would have the entire world in the palm of their hands.

She thought she was using him. He'd been searching for her for twelve years. "Listen carefully," Diana Morrison's voice cuts through the study like ice. "These are the terms of our marriage arrangement, and they are non-negotiable." Marcus Hayes sits across from her in his worn suit, agreeing to every humiliating condition without protest. Separate bedrooms. No physical contact. Divorce after one year. "Do you have any backbone at all?" Diana demands, frustrated by his compliance. What she doesn't know: Marcus is the Supreme God of War of West America, commander of armies, controller of trillion-dollar empires. Twelve years ago, a starving orphan boy received kindness from a young girl who shared her meager lunch. He never forgot her. Now that girl stands before him—cold, calculating, believing she's trapped a desperate nobody in a fake marriage to escape her family's control. "Perhaps I am desperate," Marcus admits softly. "But not in the way you think." When the Romano and Bennett families attack, when her business crumbles, when assassins lurk in shadows—Marcus moves like the warrior he is, leaving enemies broken and allies in awe. "Who are you?" Diana whispers, watching him dismantle threats with surgical precision. Marcus's slight smile holds secrets that could reshape nations. "I'm your husband." She thought their contract marriage had an expiration date. She has no idea the Supreme God of War never lets go of what's his. He spent twelve years building an empire to be worthy of protecting her. Now he'll spend a lifetime proving she was always meant to be his.

Why did his mentor send him here? And what power lies in the dragon dagger he carries?

Three years ago, Drake, the legendary Asura Marshal, was the shield of the nation. But at the height of his glory, he was betrayed by the High Council and poisoned with the "Yin-Soul Toxin," leaving him crippled and powerless. To survive, he became the "trash" son-in-law of the Vance family. For one thousand days, he endured the world’s mockery. He was forced to eat scraps, sleep in a shed, and watch as his "wife" was insulted by arrogant young masters. The world thought the Dragon had become a worm. They were wrong. The three-year limit has expired. The poison is suppressed. The Dragon has opened his eyes. "Three years ago, you took my power. Today, I take your lives." With the Black Dragon Card in his pocket and the world’s most elite Legion at his back, Drake begins his bloody march to the Capital. The "trash" son-in-law? He is the world's richest man. The "cripple"? He can shatter mountains with a single finger. The "beggar"? He is the God of War who makes Emperors kneel. Step by step, Drake will reclaim his throne. And this time, he won’t stop until the Capital is dyed red.
