DAMAGE PROTOCOL

In the gleaming towers of California and the desert palaces of Saudi Arabia, two empires are about to collide. Lucia Marchetti moves through Los Angeles society like a ghost—beautiful, educated, and dismissed as just another mafia princess playing at business. No one suspects that behind her demure smile, she architects every drug route, every arms shipment, and every political maneuver that has made her family untouchable. She is the invisible queen of an empire built on entertainment money, pharmaceutical-grade narcotics, and weapons that fuel foreign wars. Prince Khalid bin Rashid Al-Saud is the face of modernization—a reformer, a dealmaker, and the acceptable royal who bridges his family's oil wealth with Western power. His intelligence connections span continents, his arms broker shapes conflicts, and his charm opens doors from Capitol Hill to the United Nations. When their families arrange a marriage to unite their empires and dominate state power on two continents, it begins as a cold strategic alliance. But somewhere between the wedding vows and the ruthless maneuvering, something unexpected happens: they fall in love. Then their daughter is born. And Khalid begins to discover what his wife really is. As intelligence reports unravel the full scope of Lucia's operations—the CIA assets, the Russian connections, the blood trail leading back to his wife's quiet commands—Khalid faces an impossible choice. His family demands he complete the play and absorb her empire. His conscience demands justice. His heart demands he protect the mother of his child. But in a game where loyalty is everything and only one family can rule, love might be the deadliest weapon of all. In the war between empires, the greatest casualties are those caught in the middle.

Kiss X Reaper

Author’s Note! This story blends grand, intense battles with carefully chosen colors that reflect each character’s nature and themes. It unfolds within the refined atmosphere of a grand opera house, where waltzes, performances, and radiant spectacles are not just scenery, but core elements of the narrative. Through music, motion, and light, beauty and conflict exist side by side, balancing emotion with formality. Auxiliary Notice! For deeper character insight and additional world context, readers are encouraged to read the Auxiliary Chapters. Reading Style & Pacing! While the overall story progresses quickly, combat sequences are intentionally extended. These battles focus on movement, shifting power, and visual storytelling rather than heavy dialogue. Fights are written to feel cinematic, tense, and immersive, prioritizing atmosphere and action over exposition. I will do my best to keep every chapter engaging without slowing the narrative. A Note to the Reader If you enjoy: Ancient lore, Structured magic systems, Action-driven storytelling, Expansive cosmology, Multinational settings, Bold- color-focused imagery, and Long, visually rich battles, -then this story may be for you. Please read the synopsis below before diving in. Sankyuu! World Notes! Hunters - Hunters are wielders of the ancient Armament Arts- historic weapons forged through faith, discipline, and coexistence with spirits. These Arts allow Hunters to channel Natural Energy, granting power, precision, and spiritual authority in combat against Deviants. Note: Not everyone can become a Hunter. Inheriting an Armament Art and wielding Natural Energy is extremely rare. Deviants - Deviants are entities that consume and illuminate Dark Energy. They prey upon Natural Energy, the force that sustains life and balance across the world. Ancient Eyes - Ancient Eyes are old deities who have existed for hundreds, sometimes thousands, of years. They were created to uphold balance and wield immense authority. At least, that was their intended purpose. Now, they are regarded as feared folklore beings, who rule vast domains across the globe. Synopsis! Yukie Saku, the Ancient Eye of Snow and Cold, has been stripped of much of her power. After witnessing signs of an approaching catastrophe, she arrives at the Grand Opera House seeking answers and assistance. There, she meets Makoto Shirogane, the polite yet unreadable director of the opera house, descended from a once-great samurai house. To most, he appears formal and composed. That impression is far from the truth. Makoto is a Hunter of Deviants, over two centuries old, whose influence runs far deeper than anyone expects. When Yukie warns him of a looming force that devours Natural Energy and threatens entire lands, Makoto agrees to intervene- on one condition. Yukie must assist him with the growing threat surrounding the Grand Opera House itself. Stripped of her former power and sight, the goddess must rely on unfamiliar and improvised ways of wielding what power remains, forging fragile alliances while honoring the contract she has bound herself to. Thus, an uneasy partnership forms: an ancient deity seeking aid from a mortal she cannot fully understand, and a man of strict formalism bound by a divine contract. Their path leads into political intrigue, civilization-scale organizations that quietly support the world, and escalating supernatural conflicts, where power is proven through action, not words. Kiss X Reaper A story of old gods, long lives, and the cost of power. Spirity Awards Notice! Kiss X Reaper is participating in the Webnovel Spirity Awards. Thank you for your support.
