“I won't divorce you, Melissa. Until your last breath, you will live with me in this nameless marriage,” Radulf declared. Melissa Rosetta, the illegitimate daughter of the Alpha King and an omega servant, had no choice but to comply with her father's demand― marry Radulf De Lagrange, the fallen Alpha of the once-powerful Shadow Hunter Pack. Despite being the strongest dominant alpha, Radulf's influence and power crumbled when his father was accused of treason against the crown. As for Radulf's punishment? He was forced to marry a weak, wolf-less omega, who he had nothing but disdain for. To top it off, he was sent to the Western Frontier on his wedding day. Melissa eagerly awaited Radulf's return as she suffered through ridicule, believing that when he did, he would be happy to see how mighty his pack had become under her care. However, after four years, Radulf returned with a beautiful woman, shattering Melissa's heart. "You betrayed me while I stayed loyal to you. I don't want to live with you and watch your affair with another woman. Divorce me, Radulf, and free me from this marriage. If you don't wish to do that, then mark me,” Melissa demanded on the day of his return. “Divorce you, Feisty Princess? Never! If you want to get marked, then beg me or seduce me to do so,” Radulf challenged. On the day of his rut, he said, “Melissa, my mate, allow me to mark you.” ~~~~ Special thanks to my editor for refining the synopsis.

Strength is a pursuit that drives us all, though for vastly different reasons. Some seek it to shield their loved ones, to stand as an unshakable wall against the world's storms. Others crave it to solidify their dominance, clinging to power with an iron grip. And then some chase strength not for protection or control but for ambition—to carve their names into history through sheer might. Yet among all the reasons that compel one to grow stronger, none is more destructive or consuming than the thirst for revenge. This path is paved with pain and fueled by suffering, and in the end, it often leads not to triumph but to ruin. Alex, a seventeen-year-old boy, watched in helpless horror as his family and clan were slaughtered before his eyes by the Four Higher clans. Powerless, he had no choice but to run. But even as he fled, one thought burned into his soul, searing deeper with every heartbeat. They will pay. Every single one of them will pay. I don’t care if I have to sell my soul to the devil— They. Will. All. Pay. Let us journey with Alex on his journey for revenge, in a world of magic.

------------------- A Canadian man crosses into another world to search for his little sister, who was forcefully summoned years ago. As he navigates this strange new realm, he uncovers the horrific fates of previous summoned individuals and the sinister plans of the demons. Can he stop them from destroying the world? Can he shield his allies from the terrifying forces of darkness? Can he rescue his little sister before it's too late? Read to find out. ----------------------------------- A mix of Isekai, cultivation, sci-fi, and dark fantasy. ------------------- I've read and watched so many isekai where the MC past life is just a loser. So, I thought, why not make the MC actually a strong, successful man? Why not make him a gigachad who forced his way into another world instead of getting transported there passively? Why not have him prepared himself with everything he could before he enters the other world? Thus, this is my attempt in writing my own Isekai story where the MC's life on Earth actually matters, where there is an actual goal that is set even before the story begins. Of course, it will still be full of anime/ isekai stuff that I love. Especially the beginning, it's inspired by The Rising of the Shield Hero. Therefore, some chapters can be dark and disturbing. --------------------------- If you want, join my discord to chat!
