It's funny, isn't it? Nobody asks to be born... None of us choose the life we are forced to live....And yet, we are bound to it, trapped in a world where strength defines everything. People worship when you are strong. They loathe when you are weak. They worship the god. They fear the devil. But why? Was it righteousness that gave the god victory over the devil, or was it simply strength? Why must we fear one and worship the other? Is the god so righteous? Is the devil so weak? Would Wang Xiao still have everything if he were weak? Would they still worship him? Would those women have submitted so easily? No. It's always the strength. Power rules all. A man can own kingdoms, riches, even love—but lose his strength, and the world turns on him. His woman, the one who once looked at him with admiration, will crush him underfoot if she finds him unworthy. His own children, born of his blood, will stare at him with contempt, their eyes filled with disappointment. What is love if not submission to power? What is loyalty but the price of dominance? Wang Xiao has learned this bitter truth. The sacrifices he made, the pain he endured, meant nothing. Without strength, he was nothing. But no longer... He has seen the lie, the illusion of it all... And now, the ancient myths rise once more, the gods claw their way from forgotten graves, and Wang Xiao, mistaken for the 8th Prince, feared by gods and mortals alike, finds himself at the center of it all. Seven goddesses, each more beautiful, more dangerous than the last, now circle him, bound by fate. Their charm is powerful, their desires even more so. The guardian of the Atlantic tears apart nations to possess him. The Desert Princess offers her entire empire as a gift, yearning for his love... Even an ancient being, her power stripped away, bends her knee in submission, once feared, now powerless before him. But would they have bowed if he were weak? Would they have loved him, served him, feared him? No. It's always the strength. "He 'who' covers the sky with his hand," they whisper. "The gods who once played with universes like orbs... he'll make them swallow their own spit in fear." Wang Xiao's gaze hardens as he stares at his reflection. The weak are forgotten... Strength is all that matters. "The world doesn't care for the weak," Wang Xiao whispers to his reflection. "Your woman will turn her back, people will spit on your name... They'll forget you ever existed... everything you did for them would be insignificant and forgetten...Strength is all that truly matters." And so, Wang Xiao will take what's his. The gods, playing with the universe like toys, will fall. The devils, pulling at the strings of fate, will lose their grip. He will strip them of their power, their kingdoms, their very souls, if that's what it takes. He isn't their pawn. Not anymore. Would they have bowed if he were weak? Would they have given themselves so easily? Would they have even cared? No. It's always the strength. Wang Xiao is no longer the man he once was. No longer human. No longer weak. He is the deviant. --------------- #NoYuri #NoNTR #Threesome #Harem #Strong to Stronger #Elf #Gore #Evil MC #Conquor #Action #Adventure #Imperial Harem #Revenge #Daughters #Fellatio #Supernatural #Urbanfantasy #Superpowers #Cultivation #Goddess #First-time Intercourse #Villain ---------------- Warning: The Novel is based upon a fictional Earth, and any resemblance is mere coincidence!

In America’s most powerful business families, blood determines everything, well except for Alfred Lancaster. Born as the illegitimate son of the formidable Stanley family head, Alfred grew up inside the walls of unimaginable wealth but outside the circle of acceptance. To the world, Alfred didn’t exist. According to the Stanley family, he was a stain to be hidden. The only thing they ever offered him was distance and a monthly payment of $55,000 to keep him silent and invisible. Alfred was forbidden from using their legendary surname. But amidst all this family never realized was that Alfred didn’t need their name, he had something far more dangerous: A mind built for domination. Alfred was a genius in his own right, business and finance were second nature to him. From childhood, Alfred secretly studied global markets, corporate structures, and financial warfare. While the Stanleys ignored him, mocked him, and underestimated him, he quietly built something no one could see, an invisible fortune moving through layers of hidden investments and shell structures across the world. By his 18th birthday, Alfred Lancaster had achieved the impossible. $500 billion in liquid cash....Self-made.....Untraceable.....Untouchable. But on the very day he reached adulthood, the Stanley family revealed a truth that changed everything. Years earlier, Alfred’s late grandfather had forced his father to sign a binding contract requiring the Stanley family to shelter him for 20 years. Now that Alfred was legally an adult, his stepmother made their position clear: He had two years left before he would be expelled from the Stanley Mansion forever. To Alfred this meant two years of protection, access and opportunity. Most people would have panicked but not Alfred he actually smiled, because to him, the equation was simple: Two years + $500 billion = an empire. If he had to leave the Stanleys in two years… then he would leave as something they could never ignore again. From that day forward, the quiet illegitimate son they called a burden disappeared—and something far more dangerous took his place. Working silently from the shadows of the very Family that rejected him, Alfred began assembling the foundations of a hidden corporate kingdom. He acquired failing firms before anyone noticed their value, repositioned capital across continents, he also recruited brilliant minds loyal only to him and constructed a mysterious private consortium whispered about in financial and business circles but never fully understood: A.L. Consortium. Just a name with pure influence, fear and results but no face and no public owner. While the Stanley family believed they were raising a powerless cub waiting to be cast out, Alfred Lancaster was quietly becoming a predator watching from the dark. Within two years, he would leave their home, five years later, he would return to the world stage. And when he finally reveales himself, the truth would shake governments, corporations, and dynasties alike: Now the question isn’t whether Alfred Lancaster will rise. The question is : What happens when the Stanley family realizes the boy they tried to discard has become the force that can decide their fate… and the fate of nations?

Strength is measured in seconds. Karate is built on a ruthless system of rankings, discipline, and competition where every match is decided by precision, timing, and control. At the top stands one title above every fighter: Judan, the 10th Dan. A rank so rare it represents complete mastery, a lifetime of discipline, and a name that defines an era. Many enter the path. Most are forgotten. Only those who can evolve under pressure, endure defeat, and rise beyond talent ever come close. Because here, you do not chase victory. You chase the level of legends.

Even after ending things with the childhood sweetheart who had stayed by his side for years, he never realized that someone else had already been watching him from the dark for a very long time. He was too slow to notice the eyes fixed on him, and far too naïve to understand that once the shadows finally closed around him and the tide pulled him under, there would be no way left to climb back out. He used to think that calling her sister would keep a line between them, that as long as he stayed on his side of it, nothing would ever truly change. He did not know that, to her, that line had already disappeared.
