Dragon extinction

Five years ago, the sky tore open. Rifts bled monsters into the world—beasts beyond reason, nightmares given flesh. Nations fell. Borders vanished. Civilization collapsed into factions and fortified cities, clawing to survive a reality rewritten by cosmic horror. Amid the chaos, a new kind of human emerged—Hunters, awakened with powers no one understands. They are soldiers, mercenaries, and weapons in a war with no end. Ha Joon is not one of them. Or so he thinks. Plagued by memories he doesn’t trust and a name tied to shadows, Ha Joon is pulled into a brutal training program hidden deep within the forest. Overseen by Chi Long—an enigmatic woman whose discipline is as cruel as it is surgical—he is stripped of comfort, humanity, and choice. His only company: Eun Byol, a former idol kidnapped and thrown into the same nightmare, her spirit breaking as she’s forced to become something she was never meant to be. Together, they must survive Chi Long’s merciless tests, the monsters that lurk beyond the trees, and the truth buried in their blood. All while two names—Ash and Tears—haunt the edges of the world like ghosts. Whispers say they’ve seen the end. And it begins again with Ha Joon.

At twenty-three, she is a brilliant CEO, an heiress with power, grace, and a company of her own—yet behind closed doors, she remains trapped beneath the weight of her parents’ control, especially her father’s relentless disapproval. When her family forces her into an arranged marriage for power and protection, Hera is faced with a choice she never truly gets to make. Alex Conner was raised in a world where obedience is survival. The heir to a powerful mafia family, he has learned to rule with control, distance, and fear. Marriage, to him, is just another transaction—until he is bound to Hera, a woman from his past who refuses to bend, even when the world demands it. Their union is not born of love but of strategy. They clash, resist, and set boundaries, determined to stay out of each other’s way. But as their lives intertwine—through boardrooms, family expectations, shadowed dealings, and quiet moments of vulnerability—the lines between obligation and choice begin to blur. In a world where power is inherited and freedom is earned at a cost, Hera and Alex must decide whether this marriage will be the cage that breaks them—or the unlikely alliance that finally sets them free.
