Betrayed. Destroyed. Forgotten. Adrian Cross had everything—wealth, power, and a company he built from the ground up. But when his closest allies turned against him, he lost it all in a single night. Left for dead, he vanished, while his greatest enemy reaped the rewards of his downfall. But some men don’t stay buried. When Adrian returns, he’s not the same man who once played by the rules. He’s colder, sharper, and dangerously calculated. A hidden force seems to be working against him, twisting fate itself in his enemy’s favor. But Adrian doesn’t believe in curses—only in vengeance. Now, with secrets darker than betrayal and a city that no longer knows his name, Adrian will reclaim everything that was stolen from him. And this time, he won’t just take back his empire—he’ll burn those who wronged him to the ground. Because the dead don’t seek justice. They demand retribution.

She ran from her past… but he never let her escape. Years ago, Liana Carter walked away from Adrian Knight, leaving behind nothing but haunting memories. She thought she had buried their painful past—the secrets, the heartbreak, and the betrayal. But fate had other plans. When Liana unexpectedly runs into Adrian at an elite party in New York City, her carefully built life begins to crumble. Gone is the man she once knew—the one who made her heart race. Now, standing before her is a ruthless billionaire with cold, emotionless eyes and a dangerous smile. But Adrian hasn’t forgotten. Not her lies. Not her betrayal. And certainly not the fire that once burned between them. Now, he is determined to claim what was once his—even if it means destroying her in the process. As Liana fights to break free from Adrian’s suffocating grip, dark secrets from their past resurface. Passion and pain collide, making it impossible for her to run. The harder she resists, the more Adrian tightens his hold. But when the thin line between love and hate blurs, will Liana’s heart betray her once again? Or will Adrian’s vengeance consume them both? "Beneath His Cold Eyes" is a slow-burn romantic thriller that unravels the twisted ties of passion, betrayal, and redemption. In a game of love and revenge, the only thing deadlier than their past... is their undeniable desire for each other. ___

Elena Carter has always been a skeptic—until she starts hearing a voice in her dreams. It belongs to a man named Adrian, who speaks to her as if they are lovers. The dreams are so vivid, so filled with emotion, that she begins to wonder if she’s losing her mind. Then, one day, she meets him. Adrian is real. But he has no idea who she is. Determined to understand the connection, Elena searches for answers. Her investigation leads her to an old legend about "soul echoes"—fragments of love stories that never got their happy endings. If the echoes have reached her, it means she and Adrian are at a crossroads where their love is meant to either flourish… or vanish forever. But there's a catch—soul echoes come from timelines that have already failed. Something always tears these lovers apart. And the closer Elena and Adrian get, the more the universe fights to keep them apart. Now, Elena must uncover the truth behind their past lives and find a way to break the cycle before history repeats itself one last time. Because if she fails, she and Adrian won’t just lose each other in this life. They’ll be lost to time forever.

Married by Mistake to the Ice-Cold CEO Ella Carter is at rock bottom. Broke, jobless, and desperate to pay off her debts, she agrees to a shady but simple deal—sign a fake marriage contract in exchange for a life-changing sum of money. It’s supposed to be a harmless formality, just a few signatures, and she’s free. But when she wakes up the next morning, she’s no longer a fake wife. She’s legally married to Adrian Blackwood, the ruthless billionaire CEO with a heart of ice and a glare that could freeze fire. Worse, he believes she’s nothing more than a conniving gold digger who trapped him into this marriage. Determined to end their arrangement as soon as possible, Adrian is cold, cruel, and utterly unshaken by Ella’s protests. He wants her gone. But there’s one problem—she refuses to be intimidated. Unlike everyone else in his life, she fights back, and to his shock, she actually wins their battles. The more they argue, the more their tension ignites. And the more Adrian tries to push her away, the more he finds himself drawn to her defiant spirit, her fire, her ability to see the man behind the icy mask. But when secrets come to light and enemies lurk in the shadows, their marriage of convenience becomes a battlefield of trust, passion, and betrayal. Will Adrian let down his walls and accept the one woman who dares to stand by his side? Or will Ella walk away before she loses her heart to a man who never planned to keep her? One mistake. One contract. One marriage neither of them saw coming.

She was innocent. She was polite. And that was her first mistake. Dora only wanted to see her mentor a simple visit, nothing more. But as she stepped out of the office, a single, polite greeting to a stranger changed everything. Because he wasn’t just anyone. He was Adrian Obiora. Ruthless. Obsessive.

Betrayed. Abandoned. Reborn. Adrian Blackwood, a genius physicist from Earth, meets an untimely death—only to awaken in an unfamiliar world of swords, magic, and celestial beings. But he’s not just any ordinary reborn soul. He now inhabits the body of Kael Draven, the exiled prince of a fallen empire, left for dead in a world that thrives on power. However, Adrian isn’t defenseless. A mysterious force has granted him the Authority of the Celestial Sovereign, allowing him to bend the very fabric of reality—time, space, and even magic itself. But great power attracts great enemies. Ancient sects, god-like entities, and ruthless warlords seek to control or destroy him. Determined to carve his own destiny, Adrian—now Kael—sets out to reclaim his lost honor, unravel the secrets of his rebirth, and ascend beyond the limits of this world. But as he grows stronger, he realizes that his arrival was no accident. Something beyond the gods is watching. And they fear what he will become. A tale of rebirth, power, and cosmic fate begins.

Ethon Cross was just an ordinary man struggling to pay rent—until a mysterious, sentient treasure crashed through his window, obliterating his last meal in the process. The treasure, now in the form of an impossibly handsome teenage boy named Adrian, claims to be an ancient artifact of Chaos, powerful beyond imagination… but currently running on fumes. Bound together by an unbreakable contract, Ethon learns of the vast multiverse—where powerful beings cultivate energy, wield magic, command faith, and harness advanced technology. Yet, in his home universe, the flow of extraordinary energy is weak, making progress slow and frustrating. Adrian, while knowledgeable, lacks the energy to boost Ethon's growth directly. But Ethon is no fool. Instead of walking the long path of cultivation, he devises a genius plan—why struggle to get stronger when he can make others do it for him? By creating and distributing mysterious system-like abilities to different factions across the universes, he can generate power passively, reaping the benefits as they grow stronger. The more they use the systems, the more energy flows back to him. However, meddling with fate is a dangerous game. The Universal Consciousness loathes anomalies, and powerful forces seek to control or destroy anything beyond their grasp. As his influence spreads, Ethon must keep his identity hidden, navigate cosmic politics, and survive the chaos he inadvertently unleashes. After all, he's just a guy making systems. If they disrupt civilizations, start wars, or create godlike beings… well, that’s not his fault. Right?

Since he was six years old, Adrian Nero has always had a dream. Thanks to his father's influence, he developed a great interest in football at a very young age. He loved the way the game was played, the way a team of eleven players worked together to score as many goals as possible against their opponents while conceding as little as possible, he loved the tactical aspect of the game with teams trying to play to their strengths and their opponent's weaknesses. But more than those, he loved watching the players lift trophies after winning a tournament. That's right, the thing Adrian liked the most about football was lifting trophies. Immersing himself in any game, his favourite teams played, he always felt like he was there celebrating and smiling with them. He loved that feeling. 'I'll really be there one day.' He always thought to himself. Despite his father's love for the game, his parents did not exactly support his dream to become a footballer and preferred him to go to a normal school to study and get a normal job. However, all hope was not lost as his high school was one of the schools that strongly supported having sports activities in their curriculum and it wasn't just for formality's sake. Adrian fought his way through, becoming the captain of the football team as early as the first year of senior high. With his help the team grew to become quite a formidable one and was named as one of the favourites going into the qualifications for the intercontinental highschool tournament, a competition taking place in his last year of highschool and his chance to lift his first trophy. That was when disaster struck. Due to work reasons, Adrian was forced to move back to his home country with his family leaving behind the team he had worked hard to put together. However, he was fortunate enough to find himself in a school eligible to take part in the qualifications for the tournament. Finding out about that, he felt that all hope wasn't lost, a feeling that was soon carried away by the wind. Sino Academy, although possessing a very good and well-maintained pitch alongside the basic equipment, was one that never took sports seriously. In all the times they had participated in the tournament, they had only been able to get through the qualifications once but miserably failed to get through the group stage. This was an event of fifteen years ago. Facing a school with a non-existent team and players that lacked teamwork, coordination and motivation, Adrian couldn't help but feel that his dream was far beyond his reach.

[THE COVER OF THE NOVEL ISN'T MINE IT IS CREATED AREKUSHISU_1 ] Adrian Cross never believed in justice—only in settling scores. When he returned home from years in the special forces, he found his adoptive father, John Rico, and his two younger brothers slaughtered in betrayal. Their killers walked free, shielded by power and corruption. Adrian didn’t mourn. He didn’t hesitate. He hunted them down, one by one, until there was no one left to kill. And when his revenge was complete, so was his purpose. He died that night, bleeding out with no regrets. But death wasn’t the end. He woke up in the body of Franz Kafka—a college student in a world he recognized. It was the setting of Requiem of Two Worlds, a novel he had read back in high school. A cliché power-fantasy story where the protagonist built a harem while rising to the top. But Franz Kafka wasn’t in the original story. He wasn’t a villain, a side character, or even a name mentioned in passing. He simply didn’t exist. None of it mattered. Nothing ever did. His past life was over, his revenge fulfilled. Now, he was just a man with no purpose, drifting in a world that wasn’t his own.

Adrian thought he had bought a game. Instead, the game had bought him. When he booted up War Crown, he expected a night of strategy and conquest. What he got was a contract—one written in blood and bound by fate. His first world, Athenia, teetered on the edge of annihilation. Daemons from the void twisted nature into monstrosities, cities burned in endless rebellion, and a young emperor, Kael, stood alone against the tide. Victory wasn’t just an option. It was survival. The game had spoken: Clear Act 1 before the deadline, or be claimed by the game itself.

The Heavenly Dao is fickle. A phrase that he had heard all through his life. Only after that incident, did Adrian truly understand the meaning behind those words. From someone who had it all, wealth, power, prestige, to one without anything. Heck, even his fiancee abandoned him. One of the twelve great families on the Floating Cloud Continent, the House of Thorne was reduced to a pile of rubble and dead bodies after a mysterious attack by the Demonic Faction. The only thing left with him was the mysterious pendant his father, the Patriarch, had sent to him. Ambushed and gravely injured, Adrian prepares for death. That is until a single drop of his blood awakens the pendant, unleashing a dazzling light. When he regains consciousness, his pursuers are dead, but the pain of loss still remains. Fortunately, all is not lost. He discovers that his younger brother and a loyal servant girl have miraculously survived. With nothing but his new found inheritance, Adrian sets out into the night. Can he rebuild the Thorne family from the ashes? Will he uncover the traitor who aided the demonic faction? The path ahead is treacherous, but he won't stop until he makes them pay.
