Aria Vale was desperate enough to sell fifteen years of her life. It was supposed to be simple. A transaction. A solution. A way out. But the moment she signed the contract, something changed. Time no longer felt like it belonged to her. And then the messages came. Your time has been claimed. She thought she had sold years. She was wrong. Someone didn’t just buy her time— He bought her. Lucien Virel is a man who doesn’t ask. He takes. Powerful, untouchable, and dangerously obsessed, he operates in a world where lives are currency—and Aria has just become his most valuable possession. Trapped in a deal she doesn’t understand, bound to a man she cannot escape, Aria is pulled into a game of control, obsession, and secrets far darker than she imagined. Because in Lucien’s world, time isn’t the only thing that can be owned. And the more she fights him— The deeper she falls. Into him. Into the truth. Into a fate she may never escape.

“Hey, hi guys, I’m Jake, and they gave me the job of presenting the synopsis to you. Seeing as you’re reading this, it means you’re interested in becoming an exorcist. But before I explain how to become one, I want to introduce you to my partner. Say hi, Noah…” “Hi…” “As you can see, my partner is a bit shy, but he’s still really helpful.” “By the way… didn’t the boss say to stop wasting time and get to work?” “To start with, it’s important that you have some kind of special ability…” “Are you seriously gonna ignore me!?” “To have that special ability, you need to have done one of these three things: performed a ritual to summon a being, made a pact to gain superhuman powers, or the last and my personal favorite—you have a divine weapon in your possession.” “So that katana you always carry around is a divine weapon?” “Of course it is, my ignorant partner. Now let’s move on to the next point: recruitment.” “Jake, I just heard something coming closer.” “If you happen to be one of the lucky few who have those abilities, you’ll be given the choice between two options.” “Seriously?” “Yeah, we’re not gonna force anyone. You always get the option to work for the agency or simply be executed…” “...” “Now let’s move on to the ranks. Every exorcist starts at the lowest category, which is Class C, and little by little, with good results, you can work your way up through the classes.” “Does that mean I could become Class S if I work really hard?” “No. Class S people are those whose abilities surpass any average exorcist. That’s why they usually send them out alone to deal with major threats.” “Jake, I think something is staring at us.” “And well, guys, that’s the essential stuff you need to know before jumping into this amazing job of being an exorcist. What do you think, Noah?” “Jake, something’s dragging me into the darkness!” “No way… You can’t stop attracting monsters for even five minutes!” “Help!” [TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES] “Sorry for that little technical hiccup we just had, but as I was saying, this job won’t discriminate against you. That’s right—even if you’re poor, gay, a furry, a Soviet tank, or just a regular person, this job is for you. Right, Noah?” “I don’t want to be here, I don’t want to be here, I don’t want to be here…” “See you later, and remember: always bet on red, never on black—that one steals.” This story does not contain yuri, yaoi, or NTR.

Reborn as General Zod, who was about to be exiled after the failed coup, he was powerless to save Krypton from destruction. In order to change his fate of having his neck broken by Superman, the son of the DC Universe, in the future, Zod plans to find a place with the sun and live there peacefully. However, he didn't expect that the Myriad Worlds Roulette System would be activated at this time. At the beginning, he would obtain the complete inheritance of the Emperor's Scripture of the Holy Emperor of the Sun, and he could also obtain the number of roulette draws by triggering tasks. The first time he drew, he got the sunflower from Plants vs. Zombies. Even without solar radiation, he could still unlock the super talents of Kryptonians. So Zod decisively changed his goal. He planned to arrive on Earth in advance, retrieve the Codex of Life from Superman, use the Creation Chamber technology to mass-produce Kryptonians, and gradually rebuild a new Krypton. As he continued to complete tasks and gain more draws from the Wheel of All Worlds, Zod also gained more treasures and abilities. From the energy crystals that can give life to planets in Armor Hero Xingtian, to the seeds of the Tree of Life in Ultraman Orb, or the dimensional wall that can travel through parallel time and space at will in Kamen Rider Decade... He found the super Kryptonian Hale, defeated Superman, improved and upgraded the Kryptonian genes, and then he had a group of super Kryptonian warriors who had no weaknesses and were powerful enough to rival gods. From then on, the name of New Krypton resounded throughout the multiverse and even in all the heavens and worlds. -------------------------------- 40 advanced chapters are now available on Patreon!
