Therefore the first ten chapters will slowly delve into his mind and psychology. How he breaks and forges himself again and again. If you are looking for a novel whereby the main character doesn't go through any character development or doesn't seem realistic enough when faced with such dangers. Then this novel isn't for you. And I will advise against reading it. And even if you aren't really a lover of psychological and supernatural horror. Read the first ten chapters, and you will know why this novel has the potential to be on par with the likes of Shadow Slave or Advent of the Three Major Calamities by Entrail. Also, before the whole Awakening and Shii, Mc is stuck in what seems to be a cursed and wretched land to him. How he got there. He doesn't know. Just that he's doing everything he can to leave there. And all I can say to those reading this novel because of the whole Awakening shii and all that is to be patient. This novel will be quite slow paced yet fast paced. Read to know what I meant by that. so what are you still doing here reading this Dive into the novel and come back to thank me!!

Ahmet's laughter was like a slap in the face. "You think you're in a position to negotiate with me?" he sneered. "I don't think so, Asli. You'll do what I say, or suffer the consequences. Do you want more time to outsmart me? No.” She could play his game. She certainly could. A mischievous grin formed on her lips. "What would you gain from sleeping with me?" she asked, trying to keep her tone neutral. "You're not exactly known for your romantic conquests. And we're rivals, not to mention the fact that our families would kill us if they found out." She paused, her eyes narrowing. "So, what's the real motive here? What could you possibly gain from this?" There was a pause on the other end of the line, and for a moment, Asli wondered if she had caught him off guard. But then, Ahmet's smooth voice came back, dripping with confidence. "I’m glad to know you are well informed about my romantic conquests. Let's just say, Asli, that I have my reasons. And as for what I'd gain… well, that's for me to know and you to find out." His tone sent a shiver down her spine, and Asli knew she had to tread carefully. She wasn’t going to win this against him. “Show me what proof you have and I will give in to your demands.” With that, she hung up the call, feeling a small sense of satisfaction at being the one to end the conversation this time. ******* Asli is the only woman in the male-dominated Mafia world. She wears that title with fierce pride, commanding fear and ensuring that no one dares to cross her. But everything changes when she crosses paths with her sworn enemy, Ahmet.

However, Asli's mission takes a dangerous turn when Ahmet discovers a secret she desperately wants to keep hidden.

The end of Part 2 of Vol 1 is where the Protagonist would become cold and calculative. The starting chapters will feel very Tokyo Ghoulish, and trust me that's intentional as that heavily inspired me, but please don't drop this until you reach further ahead in the story. This story shapes up the world I'm trying to create, filled with different factions, goals, and the threads of fate guiding them. If you are giving this a chance then I'm very thankful. *** I'll be uploading 5 chapters every week!
