Raymond Shelby was brutally killed by his girlfriend. It turned out that she was the daughter of a crime boss, and Ray's testimony had been the final nail to the coffin that put the crime boss on death row.

A game that comes from a very mysterious origin of the foreign world Nevergan Heaven Universe. A game that can make the soul of the player mutated to become something as powerful as a god! When Hendra played it, he made his character into a cat girl of his dreams named Leona. However, unknowingly, Leona really came to life in Percha Island Online and became the third personality.

This is the story about The Hypocrite(s) ----------- The Queen of South sighed and looked at Leona with a pity "You can't advance to realm of Legends. Not with your soul right know." Leona flinched, she had a bad feeling, her cat ears twitched, and with quivering pink lips, she asked "What do you mean?" The Queen of South sigh for the second time "Every Legend is unique, because every Legend will hold the power of Gods! The rule the aspect and manifest the form of the god! Maybe right know you rule the aspect of love but it's because you are the manifestation of love."  The Queen of South stopped and narrowed her eyes, "But the two soul inside your body is not manifestation of Love! They more like manifestation of greed and sloth! How can such impurity will manifest into something so pure such love? The only thing you can do to become Legend right know is to kill the two soul inside your mind! Only one from the three of you can live and reach the realm of Legend, becoming a God of Percha Island!"

Whispers follow him, people wondering, "Why does he act without fear?

As the powerful Lockwood family plots and schemes, they’re unaware of the storm that’s about to engulf them. And at the center of it all is a man they thought they could ignore—a man who might just be their downfall. In this world of betrayal, ambition, and hidden strength, will he finally reveal who he truly is, or will he let them continue to underestimate him... until it’s too late?

If you see his abs when he's dressed in a fitted round neck, you can't help but to swallow hard. Ow! Ow! Turns out the hot guy is my next door neighbor
