Damien Desmond

The entire world was peaceful until one day, a crack in the sky brought upon the end of peace. From its dark chasm, monsters from the otherworld poured out. These monsters had one singular goal: Destroy the world. Treating the inhabitants like livestock, these powerful invaders killed and massacred as they went. Damien, whose parents were from two of the most powerful races - the angel and vampire race - seeks to avenge his slaughtered parents and with the power of the two races and the ability to devour the abilities of creatures he kills, He will.... ERADICATE ALL MONSTERS!

An angel, lost on Earth after failing to return to heaven, reincarnated as a human but retained his celestial powers. As he aged, the power became too much for his mortal body, leaving him lonely despite having siblings. He eventually made a close friend and, knowing his time was short, began distributing his powers through injections of his celestial blood. His friend was the first to receive powers, followed by the angel's sister and many others. To help these new power-bearers, the angel created a separate universe above Earth with a school where they could learn to harness their celestial aura. The angel ruled the school until his friend, seeking control, demanded a share. When the angel refused, the friend took over during his absence, ruling with an iron fist and sparking a deadly war. The angel returned to find his friend had married his sister, and they had a daughter. Heartbroken, the angel banished them and their followers to a sealed realm called Terra Firma. Before departing on another journey, he appointed twelve powerful beings to govern his universe and placed his niece and her descendants in charge of the school. Then, the angel disappeared, leaving his legacy behind.

Damien's life was ruined two decades ago by betrayal: his dearest friend Ethan and sister Serena betrayed him, leaving him impoverished and broken. Damien was consumed by vengeance and spent years rebuilding his kingdom, preparing to strike revenge. His plan is now being carried out: he sends his son Nate to seduce Ethan's daughter Evangeline, with the intention of breaking her heart and destroying her family. But as old secrets resurface, Nate discovers harsh facts about his father's betrayals, compelling him to doubt everything. Meanwhile, a shadow from Damien and Ethan's past, James, reappears with his own desire for vengeance, threatening to destroy both families in the concept of killing two birds with one stone. Betrayal by Love is a compelling story about love, vengeance, and the deadly consequences of justice. Who will ultimately triumph in this battle?

Hace 5 años, la Tierra fue objeto de un evento ahora conocido como el “Despertar Mundial”. En ese momento, el mundo cambió por completo. El maná despertó en el mundo, comenzaron a abrirse portales, y una pantalla holográfica apareció frente a los ojos de cada humano que mostraba su “estado”. A cada individuo se le otorgó un talento para comenzar, que iba desde habilidades simples como una visión mejorada hasta cosas de fantasía insanas como la piroquinesis. Y dentro de esta miríada de habilidades, Damien despertó una afinidad espacial con la habilidad de “teletransportación a corta distancia”. Al principio, estaba emocionado, pensando en intensas batallas y en obtener un gran poder, pero la realidad rápidamente lo decepcionó. Su habilidad solo funcionaba en un área de 10 metros a su alrededor, y sus estadísticas físicas eran increíblemente débiles, dejándolo cansado después de usar su habilidad un par de veces. Desilusionado por su debilidad, Damien llevó una vida tranquila haciendo lo que pudiera para llegar a fin de mes, hasta que un día, todo cambió. Damien fue traicionado y lanzado a un portal, dejado a su suerte en un laberinto de bestias. Algo se rompió en él ese día. Se negó a seguir siendo débil y manteniendo la cabeza baja por más tiempo. Cuando emergió de la oscuridad, se encontró en un nuevo mundo sin idea de cómo regresar a la Tierra. Sin embargo, no era el mismo chico que fue cuando cayó por primera vez.

“Vingança!” Era a única coisa em sua mente quando seu marido a traiu com sua irmã postiça. Evangeline Midnight Star jurou se vingar de seu marido e de sua irmã depois que ele a descartou como um brinquedo quebrado que não era mais necessário. Mas para isso, ela precisava ser forte novamente. Ela tinha que mostrar suas garras e lutar até estar forte o suficiente para se proteger. E para isso, ela estava pronta para fazer um acordo com o diabo. Damien Alancaster, o diabo do império, a besta do norte, o demônio que bebe sangue. Ele era o único que poderia salvá-la. Mas quem a salvaria dele? “Estamos apenas em um casamento contratual. Quero manter as coisas profissionais.” Ela deu um passo para trás, procurando pelos papéis que haviam assinado naquela noite fatídica. Ele sorriu maliciosamente, dando um passo à frente e se encostando em suas costas, beijando suas orelhas enquanto ela tremia, “Uma vez que os papéis do contrato se foram, não há mais contrato, apenas casamento. Certo, querida?” nota; a capa foi projetada por dixerqua, um colega autor do webnovel.

Evangeline Midnight Star bersumpah untuk membalas dendam pada suaminya dan saudaranya setelah suaminya membuangnya seperti mainan rusak yang tidak dibutuhkan lagi.

Damien Alancaster, setan dari kekaisaran, binatang dari utara, iblis yang meminum darah. Dialah satu-satunya yang bisa menyelamatkannya. Tapi siapa yang akan menyelamatkannya dari dia? “Kita hanya dalam pernikahan kontrak. Saya ingin menjaga semuanya profesional.” Dia melangkah mundur, mencari kertas-kertas yang mereka tandatangani di malam yang menentukan itu. Dia tersenyum mengejek, mendekat dan bersandar di punggungnya, mencium telinganya saat dia merinding, “Karena kertas kontrak sudah hilang, tidak ada kontrak yang tersisa, hanya pernikahan. Benar, sayang?” catatan; sampulnya dirancang oleh dixerqua, seorang penulis lain dari webnovel.
