"Dead men don’t stay dead... unless they’re forgotten." Once, Dominic "Dom" Ricci was the untouchable kingpin of the underworld—a man whose empire stretched across neon-lit streets and shadowy alleys. But betrayal cuts deeper than bullets, and when Dom's trusted right-hand man, Vincent "Vinnie" Costa, orchestrates his downfall, everything he built comes crashing down in a storm of blood and fire. Now, presumed dead by the city he once ruled, Dom emerges from the shadows—not as a victim, but as a predator. With nothing left to lose, he begins to rebuild his empire, one dangerous move at a time. Recruiting allies old and new, navigating shifting loyalties, and unraveling a web of deceit that runs deeper than anyone imagined, Dom wages war against the man who stole his throne—and the corrupt system that let it happen. In this game of power, every step forward could be his last. As alliances fracture, secrets unravel, and enemies close in, Dom must decide what kind of ruler he wants to be: ruthless or redeemed. Because in a world where loyalty is currency and betrayal is inevitable, even kings can fall. And sometimes, rising again means burning brighter—or burning everything to ashes. Betrayal sparks the flame. Power fuels the fire. In the Empire of Ashes, survival is the only rule.

After all, the desire for civilization conquest had always been the driving force behind progress, and life had continuously evolved between attack and defense over tens of millions of years...

While others became Hybrids, Lucivar became the messenger of Evil Gods, a False Angel. "Who cares about good or evil? If I kill someone wicked, it's a win, one less rival in my way. If I kill someone noble, it is still a win—the world would've consumed them sooner or later. So why not let it happen by my hand? After all, I'm more practical. I became stronger and you get a painless death, win-win" ——— Very manipulative and unhinged MC, be warned. He's a slave to the Evil Gods. A trickster God. An arrogant God. A chaotic God.

But one man seeks to change everything. Aurelian Valerius, warrior-king and master tactician, refuses to be a pawn in the gods’ eternal game. From his first battle as a young commander to his rise as a ruler, he has crushed enemies through a blend of brutal strategy and unmatched skill in combat. He does not kneel before gods, nor does he fear their chosen champions. When war erupts between empires, Aurelian sees an opportunity—not just for conquest, but for revolution. As he marches across the lands, he wages war not only against rival nations but against the very foundations of divine rule. Alongside his elite warriors and powerful sages, he challenges the might of celestial beings, proving that gods can bleed—and if they bleed, they can die. But war is never simple. Corrupt nobles plot in the shadows, rival warlords seek to betray him, and the gods themselves whisper from the heavens, weaving schemes to reclaim their power. As Aurelian builds his empire, he faces a choice: will he remain mortal, or will he seize the throne of the gods themselves? Steel clashes with sorcery, armies rise and fall, and a new age dawns—an age where mortals decide their own fate.
