betrayal

Divine Vendetta For over ten thousand years, humanity has survived alongside a new reality. Mysterious portals continue to appear across the world without warning or discernible pattern. These rift-like tears in space lead to deadly realms filled with monsters, untold treasures, and the promise of unimaginable power. Though their origin and purpose remain unknown, humanity has learned to adapt—forming structured raid parties of five to eight individuals to enter and survive them. To initiate entry, a raid party must approach a portal and remain within its influence. After a short, unpredictable period of time, the rift responds—drawing those nearby into the instance beyond. What determines when a portal becomes active, or why certain individuals are taken while others are not, remains one of the greatest unanswered questions in human history. Those who awaken an Origin Well become humanity’s greatest defenders, ascending through its ranks as they challenge increasingly dangerous portals. In a world where strength determines everything, countless lives are built—and lost—chasing the next step toward power. At twenty years old, Liam has spent his life searching for answers that have always remained just beyond his reach. Fragments of a forgotten past refuse to leave him, yet no one can explain why they exist or what they truly mean. When Liam’s own journey into the world of awakened individuals finally begins, he quickly discovers that the rules governing everyone else don’t seem to apply to him. The deeper he ventures into humanity’s greatest mysteries, the more he uncovers secrets that have been buried for generations—truths powerful enough to reshape everything the world believes about the Origin Wells, the portals, and the forces that stand behind them. As powerful enemies begin moving from the shadows and ancient truths stir once more, Liam finds himself caught between the life he has always known and a destiny that was set into motion long before he was born. Some mysteries were meant to stay buried. Some powers were never meant to awaken. And some acts demand nothing less than Divine Vendetta.

Excerpt... Henry’s hand shot out, closing around her arm, firmly enough that her breath caught. “Stay…” He stood beside her, close enough that she could feel him without touching him. “I…” Livia’s voice broke before it found strength. “I didn’t flee.” She still would not fully look at him. Her eyes remained on Bella. “This is not my fault,” she whispered. “No,” Henry said at once. “It isn’t.” He looked away, then back at her. “Do you love him, Livia?” “Please,” she cried. “Stop calling me that.” “Do you love him?” he asked. “Yes,” she said. “So soon after me?” he asked. “I thought we…” He stopped. “I assumed you…” “That I what?” Livia asked, her voice trembling. “That I loved you? Henry…” she began then she caught herself. “Your Highness. I did seek solace in your arms... Yes. I will not lie about that. I wanted you. I trusted you. In a sea of sharks and wolves, you were the safest thing I could find.” Her eyes filled again. “You made me feel as though I could breathe. Turns out, you are no better.” “Why?” Henry asked quietly. “Because I am the king?” “Because you lied to me. You let me trust a man who did not exist.” “I existed.” “Henry the merchant existed because you created him.” “For good reasons, I had to keep my identity hidden,” Henry said. “The king moving around London without security,” he continued, “what do you think would happen?” “You speak as though I was asking you to announce yourself in the middle of Cheapside with trumpets and a crown. It doesn’t matter anymore,” Livia said, looking away from him. “I am getting married.” “Yes,” Henry said, the word leaving him like a blade drawn from flesh. “To my best friend. Did you tell him?” Henry asked. Livia’s brows drew together. “Tell him what?” “That I fucked you. Did you tell him I was your first? Did you tell him you once trusted me? That you once promised yourself to me because you thought I was the safest thing in your miserable world?” “That is not fair.” “Then tell me is it fair that Richard gets to call you his intended while I stand here pretending I do not know the sound of your moan? Is it fair that he holds your hand while I cannot even say your name without ruining you?” “Please stop.” “Did you tell him,” Henry pressed, unable to stop himself now, “that you were mine before you were ever his?” “How could I?” she asked, the words breaking. “I did not even know who you were.” “Then let me ask you this,” he said, leaning down just a little, his lips a hair’s breath from hers. “Has he fucked you? Has he touched what is mine?” ..... Sold into slavery and trapped in the brutal underworld of London, Livia Valenti is placed on the auction block.

Survival was the first thing Lorelei had learned. Her power had marked her from birth, a curse that should have left her abandoned — yet someone still took her in, raised her, cared for her. She knew it couldn't last, knew something would shatter the fragile peace, but she clung to that faint hope anyway: that this happiness would stretch on forever. It didn't. Just as she had with her mother, her own hands had killed him. And in the wreckage of her grief, a figure emerged — the only answer to her questions, the only guide through the bloody path she walked carrying along the sorrow of those she killed.

In the world of cultivation, countless tales follow righteous protagonists, fated heroes blessed by destiny, or those chosen by heaven to walk the path of immortality. But what of those who stand in their way? What of the villains? The so-called obstacles to the hero’s journey—do they not bleed, dream, and struggle as well? Xiao Ning was never meant to succeed. From the very beginning, the Grand Dao wove him as a stepping stone—a necessary sacrifice to elevate another. His path, like that of all designated ‘villains,’ was doomed to failure by design. But what happens when that design is defied? After death, Xiao Ning awakens—not in the cycle of reincarnation, but in the cold silence beyond it. There, he is offered the Eternal Paradox Codex—a forbidden artifact containing the hidden truths of the Grand Dao System itself. Rules. Loopholes. Vulnerabilities. Knowledge not meant for those like him. With this power, Xiao Ning is granted a single, impossible choice: accept oblivion, or step outside the Grand Dao entirely—to abandon fate, sever karma, and cultivate a path unbound by heaven or law. It is Xiao Ning’s journey, from ashes to something beyond comprehension. Not to become an Immortal among men. But something even the heavens dare not bind. If fate is a chain… Then let him forge his own path in the void beyond. Welcome to this humble tale. The cultivation world is vast and unkind. Let us begin again—on our terms.

"Luca, please…" she cried. "You need to see who the devil really is. And decide if you want me that way," he said. "Because this is who I am. You either accept it or reject it." Luca's hand reached for a knife from the array of tools spread meticulously on the desk. "I wanted to prolong his suffering…" he murmured. "Luca…" she whispered. "But since this is a show and tell…" Without a pause, he cut the rope holding Inferi's wrists, letting the man drop heavily to the floor with a thud that made the room shudder. Inferi's eyes, wide with terror, flicked to Vee as his body twisted weakly under the weight of his injuries. "This isn't one of those times when you ask me to let someone go, I am going to kill him right here." "You have two choices," he continued. "Walk away right now, and I will accept that you will never accept who I am. Or stay and watch me kill him, to prove to me that you accept all of me, that you want all of me." "God, please, Luca, don't do this." Behind Luca, Inferi struggled weakly on the floor. Luca looked only at her. "It's simple, Vee. I am giving you a choice. I don't have a gun to your head, now, do I? Are you ashamed of who I am, or do you accept who I am?" "It's not so simple!" Vee yelled. "You're asking me to stand here while you take a life." "I will count to ten." He gestured with the knife toward the steel door behind her. "There is the door. Here is me." "Jesus!" Vee bit down on her lower lip. She squeezed her eyes shut. "Jesus Christ!" "One…" "Two…" She stepped toward him. "Three…" "I'm not running." She moved closer. "I will not run. I will stay." "Four…" Vee drew in a shaky breath, steadying herself against the tidal wave inside her. "I meant what I said last night. I said I love you. I meant it. But don't subject me to this. It will not change how I feel about you. It won't." She stepped even closer, until the knife hovered inches from her hip. "But it will most definitely change me." She swallowed hard. "If you make me stand here and watch this, you are not testing my love. You are reshaping me into something I may never recognize again." Her hands came up slowly and pressed against his chest. "I love the man who protects. The man who terrifies everyone else but holds me like I matter." Her eyes glistened, but she did not look away. "I know what you are. I accept what you are. But do not ask me to become it." "Five…" Luca moved behind Inferi now, the knife hovering at his throat. Vee's feet rooted to the floor, the edge of Luca's jacket gripped tightly in her fists. Her eyes, brimming with tears locked onto his, daring him to see, really see, what she was becoming in his presence. "Six…" he continued. He held the knife steady against Inferi's skin, a cold, absolute line of judgment, waiting. And in that pause, Luca realized a part of him wanted her to run, desperately. He wanted her to bolt, to retreat from this room of blood and fear, because maybe, just maybe, if she ran, he would see the futility of the obsession clawing at him from the inside. "Seven…" he murmured. "Eight…" "Nine…" Synopsis: She insulted the devil. He decided to own her.
