But here, now, he has a chance to stop it. As an officer in the 2nd Armored Division, he fights for reforms: pushing for mobile tank warfare, warning of Hitler’s growing ambitions, and challenging the high command’s obsession with World War I tactics.

Instead, he has become an extra—a disowned noble barely clinging to relevance in a world where strength determines everything. Worse, his fate in the game was to die an early, meaningless death. Armed with only his knowledge of the game’s storyline and a common system that tracks his stats and skills, he is determined to survive. But mere survival isn’t enough.

With Kamui as his trump card, he walks the fine line between fate and freedom, seizing power from the shadows while avoiding suspicion. As the protagonist and his allies battle against demons and unravel the game’s grand destiny, he secretly builds his own strength—manipulating events, mastering forgotten arts, and even forging ties with villainous factions.

Caelum had always regarded Zara as more than just his master. She was a mother to him. When she handed him a pill, he swallowed it—no questions asked. But the pill turned out to be a potent poison. Death loomed over Caelum, but he was quick to act and successfully cast a transmigration spell. He was flung four centuries into the future and awakened in the gravely wounded body of a sixteen-year-old noble, Quinn. Yet, betrayal never crossed his mind—only questions. He was a hundred percent certain that in neither universe would Zara ever poison him. In this new era, the mage race was still at war with the undead, but the world had transformed beyond recognition. The Eternal Kingdom had vanished, and four powerful forces had risen, one of them being the Kingdom of Zephirion. Magic had also taken a new turn as origin magics disappeared. Instead, mages had applied different properties to elemental magics, which they called divergent magics. But Caelum was most disturbed that there were no records of the past he had come from. Uncertain of his next steps, Caelum decided to live Quinn’s life while seeking remnants of the past and investigating his predecessor’s death. In no time, Caelum—now Quinn—found trails of the murder, and they pointed him to a powerhouse organization, the Sentinels of Zephirion. But realizing his current power was no match for them, revenge would have to wait. To restore his former battle prowess, Quinn dominated the academy’s challenges. He also earned the opportunity to witness the kingdom’s battlefront against the undead. At the kingdom’s border, the war was one-sided. Hordes of undead were being obliterated by mages. The reason? Two colossal barriers were protecting the mages: one encased the Kingdom of Zephirion, called the inner barrier, and another shielded all four great forces, the outer barrier. But being not only a genius in magic but in arrays as well, Quinn had one big question: what fueled the array? Quinn soon discovered that the inner barrier was being maintained by the Sentinels of Zephirion. His investigation into Quinn's death was reopened as his suspicions grew. Eventually, Quinn learned that the barrier array was fueled by draining the magic essence of countless mages. Worse yet, the core of the array was the very magic essence of his master’s companions. Quinn’s questions now piled up. What had really happened four hundred years ago? Who could have killed his master’s allies, who were SSS+ mages? Despite learning the horrifying truth, Quinn still lacked the strength to act. And so, he chose to gather allies. Once he was strong enough, he exposed the atrocities of the Sentinels of Zephirion to the people. That was when his foes were criticized and found themselves in a difficult position. The Sentinels of Zephirion wanted to eliminate Quinn, but with the protection of Quinn’s allies, they were unable to act openly. As tensions escalated, the royal family intervened and justified the Sentinels of Zephirion’s sacrifices as a necessary evil to maintain the barrier. But Quinn had anticipated this and had a plan. He later revealed an alternative array—one that would create a barrier of equal strength but fueled not by the magic essence of mages but by the collective mana of Zephirion’s mages. That was the final spark that ignited the rebellion. With no reason to fear the disappearance of the barrier, the people rose against both the Sentinels of Zephirion and the royal family. A great war erupted, and the conflict continued for days. In the end, the enemies were defeated. Now that Quinn’s vengeance was fulfilled, he turned his attention to the records of his foes. He was greatly disturbed by the murder of his master’s friends, only to discover that they had not been killed and sacrificed. Instead, they had created the array and willingly sacrificed themselves for one purpose—to protect the future. To protect the future from what?

In the realm of Tenkai, where the fabric of fate was woven by the ancient gods, two souls were destined to collide in a dance of destiny. The threads of their lives had been intertwined since the dawn of time, and now, the moment of their convergence was at hand. Ling, the brooding warrior, forged in the fires of adversity, stood atop a windswept mountain, gazing out upon the vast expanse of the world. His heart was as cold as the steel he wielded, and his eyes burned with a fire that could not be tamed. The flames of his passion fueled his unyielding pursuit of justice, driving him to seek out the forces of darkness that had ravaged the land. Ming, the enigmatic sorcerer, shrouded in mystery, stood at the edge of a dense forest, his eyes fixed upon the whispering leaves. His soul was as deep as the oceans, and his eyes gleamed with an otherworldly intelligence. The spark of his magic ignited the very fabric of reality, and the ancient trees themselves seemed to lean in, as if to listen to his whispers. Their paths converged in the town of Akakawa, where the whispers of the ancients spoke of a prophecy, a contract forged in the depths of time. The Soul Contract Sword, a blade of unimaginable power, awaited the one who could unlock its secrets. The sword was said to be able to vanquish any darkness, and its power was coveted by all who sought to wield it. As Ling and Ming walked through the bustling streets of Akakawa, their eyes met, and the air seemed to vibrate with an otherworldly energy. They felt an inexplicable pull, as if the very fabric of fate was drawing them together. Without a word, they knew that their lives were forever intertwined. And so, they embarked on their perilous journey, navigating treacherous landscapes, avoiding deadly assassins, and unraveling the mysteries of their ancient bond. The fate of Tenkai hung in the balance, as the forces of darkness sought to claim the Soul Contract Sword for their own. From the snow-capped mountains of the north to the scorching deserts of the south, Ling and Ming were tested, their resolve forged in the fires of adversity. They battled fearsome foes, solved ancient puzzles, and uncovered hidden secrets. With each step, their bond grew stronger, their trust in each other deepening. But the journey was not without its challenges. The forces of darkness were relentless, and the duo faced numerous trials that threatened to tear them asunder. There were times when Ling's unwavering dedication to justice clashed with Ming's more nuanced understanding of the world. There were moments when Ming's mysterious nature sparked Ling's suspicions, and the warrior's anger flared. Yet, through it all, they persevered, their bond growing stronger with each passing day. They learned to rely on each other, to trust in their unique skills and strengths. And as they journeyed deeper into the heart of Tenkai, they began to realize that their connection went far beyond mere fate. The ancient gods themselves had ordained this union, a bond of fate that transcended the boundaries of time and space. The fate of Tenkai was but a pawn in a far larger game, one that would determine the course of history. And so, Ling and Ming pressed on, driven by their unyielding determination to fulfill the terms of the Soul Contract Sword. The journey was long, the road fraught with peril, but they walked on, side by side, their bond growing stronger with each step. For in a world where fate was woven by the ancient gods, Ling and Ming knew that their love was the greatest power of all.

She arched a brow, taking slow, deliberate steps toward him, her heels clicking against the hardwood floor. “Oh?” she mused, tilting her head. “And what exactly am I up to, amore mio?” Adrian’s jaw tightened. “You tell me.” A slow smirk curled her lips as she invaded his space, her fingers lightly grazing the lapel of his jacket. “You don’t have proof.” His eyes darkened, flicking down to where her fingers toyed with the fabric. “I don’t need proof,” he murmured. “I see it in your eyes. The way you watch me. Like you’re calculating your next move.” Valeria chuckled, the sound soft, teasing. “And here I thought you were the one watching me.” She dragged her nails lightly down his chest, feeling the way his muscles tensed beneath his tailored suit. “You want proof?” His hand shot out, gripping her wrist, but his touch wasn’t rough—it was deliberate, commanding. “Yes.” His voice dropped lower, nearly a whisper. “Prove it.” The challenge hung between them, thick with tension. Her pulse hammered in her throat, but she didn’t hesitate. She reached up, her fingers threading into his dark hair as she closed the space between them, her lips grazing his—soft, testing, before she deepened it.

He betrayed me by sleeping with his secretary. “Fine.“ I don’t care anymore—all I want is his property. But fate had other plans. Instead of his wealth, I got his “lieutenant uncle” as compensation. --- “Me,”Ethan said. Just a single word—two letters—but it carried a weight I couldn’t quite grasp. “I’m not following. “You?” I asked, narrowing my eyes. “The compensation—the one you have no choice but to accept,” he clarified. My eyes widened in shock before a chuckle escaped my lips. “I must have heard wrong.” “Let me be your compensation. Trust me, honey… I’m worth a lot,” he added smoothly. I blinked several times, trying to determine if this was some kind of twisted dream. But the pale, dumbfounded looks on Ashton’s and Kira’s faces confirmed my worst suspicion. “I wasn’t dreaming.” This was “real.” “Let’s get married,” Ethan Brooks declared, as if those words meant “nothing.” He was “dead serious.” Did he even realize I had just “divorced his nephew?”
