A Silent Protector
For three long years, Ethan Graves endured humiliation and hardship while silently protecting the Anderson family from unseen horrors lurking in the shadows.
Bound by a promise to his dying mentor, he married Claire Anderson and shielded her family from deadly supernatural threats.
Despite his sacrifices where he work tirelessly, gave up his pride, and becoming a servant in his wife's home, Ethan's efforts went unappreciated. His wife, Claire, and her family treated him with disdain, never knowing the true danger he kept at bay.
But when Claire reveals her pregnancy with another man's child and hands him divorce papers, Ethan's patience runs out. No longer willing to be a silent protector, he leaves the family and let go of the dark forces he had been suppressing all these years.
As the evil entities close in, the Andersons realize too late that their fate was tied to the man they scorned.
But Ethan has his own path to walk.
Let's walk a dark journey with Ethan that will reveal the full extent of his powers, and the hidden dangers that have been waiting for him all along.

Their eyes were full of worry.Claire was holding Max's hand as she whispered, "Max, please get better."Sandra, Claire and Max's mother paced the room with tears in her eyes.

It was as if killing someone was not a matter worth mentioning.The truth was actually exactly this.

Chapter: Ch 10: KillingThe killing intent was shocking. Very few people here had connections with the hidden face of this world, and so the majority of them didn't know what was happening. They only felt that it was becoming very difficult for them to breathe.On the other hand, those who knew what just happened revealed eyes filled with shock.Who was this person to actually dare to cause trouble here?He is courting death!"Sir, today is the happy day of my Orlander Family. You are welcome to enjoy the banquet, but please, do not cause trouble."The Orlander Family butler, Martin, stood out and said while coldly looking at Ethan.When it comes to strength and martial arts, even in Springfield City, today's Orlander Family could be said to be at the top.Martin did not dare to claim that he was able to walk alone under the sky. However, he was able to cover the skies of Springfield City with his bare hands and look down on all living beings with disdain. After all, he was a warrior at the Third Realm of Ma

Chapter: Ch 9: Killing IntentEthan followed Robert's gaze and looked up at the second floor of the hotel. To his surprise, he saw an extremely beautiful girl standing near the railing, talking and laughing with an elderly couple. Her long black hair flowed gently down her back, and her skin was fair like snow. She had bright clear eyes that seemed to sparkle with every blink, and her tempting red lips were curved into a slight smile. She was wearing a gorgeous white dress that made her look elegant and graceful, almost like a goddess.Ethan couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He had seen many beautiful women before, but this girl had something special about her. There was a calm and quiet aura around her, making her stand out from the crowd.Most importantly, she was a martial warrior. She doesn't seem to be older than twenty-four but she was already at the Second Realm of Martial Arts.In terms of talent, it can be said that her talent was top-notch in the dark side of this world.It was at this moment th

Chapter: Ch 8: The CelebrationThree days later, Ethan could be seen standing in front of a man. This man's first name is Ryan and he is one of Ethan's subordinates. He is also one of the three Lord Protectors in the elite unit, the Silent Protectors."Captain!"Ryan saluted Ethan. When Ethan nodded at him, he immediately took out an envelope, and said, "It is here!"Ethan nodded and took the envelope before keeping it in his coat pocket. His expression didn't look right at the moment. "Captain!"At this time, Ryan respectfully spoke up, "People cannot be revived, so don't be too sad.""He treated me very well in the army, and it was also him who trained me. He also saved my life several times back then. The debt of gratitude I owed him is as heavy as a mountain. Now that he is dead, I don't know how to repay him. The least I can do is avenge him!" Ethan said with a cold look in his eyes. His voice was like the low cry of the grim reaper of hell.The person he was talking about was already dead, but the debt was s

The Eternal Destiny System
Cyrus lost everything when his mother died. He wanted revenge, but there was one big problem: he had no powers.
In a world where strength is everything, Cyrus was powerless. In a world where all the people awaken an ability or two, Cyrus had no ability. In a world where everyone continues to become stronger with each passing day, Cyrus was weak and powerless.
However, everything changed the day when a golden ray of light falls down from the sky, directly piercing his head, causing his body to fall apart and disintegrate into countless fragments of light...or that's what Cyrus remembered.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself standing in an unfamiliar space. There, Cyrus obtained the Eternal Destiny System, which allowed him to visit other dimensions and become stronger in a way no one else could.
This was the start of Cyrus's journey to become powerful, take his revenge, and shake the entire universe with his name.

Chapter: Ch 34: Golden MonumentAt that moment, Cyrus understood that unless the mystery surrounding the crystal was uncovered, there would be no chance of him purchasing it from Marcus.But Cyrus wasn't ready to give up. As long as he could examine the crystal, the system might reveal its true nature and value to him. He knew he could not let go of this god-given opportunity. Although very low, there is indeed some probability of success.Determined, he asked again, "Then... can you at least let me see the crystal? I want to take a closer look."Marcus hesitated, his expression uncertain. Sensing this, Cyrus shook his head and spoke firmly, "If you want my help, you should at least show some sincerity. If you can't even let me see the crystal, why should I risk my life to help you?"What would he gain from helping them?Just a reward and a favor.Perhaps, Cyrus's background was so extraordinary that he didn't consider their favor worth anything at all."That crystal is with Chris.

Chapter: Ch 33: Oval-shaped Crystal"What kind of place is Ten Thousand Abyss City?" Cyrus couldn’t help but ask.Marcus took a deep breath before replying, "I can only tell you that this city is extremely dangerous. The main reason is that it lies at the intersection of four regions of Light Wind Empire. One of these regions is our Green Wood Region.""The Hidden Dragon Competition isn't limited to the geniuses of the Green River Region in the Light Wind Empire; it's a contest among the brightest talents from all four regions, which is why it's held in Ten Thousand Abyss City.""As for why this city is so perilous, you'll know once you go there."Cyrus nodded thoughtfully. By now, he already knew that the Light Wind Empire had a total of four regions. Each region had hundreds of huge cities and towns. Aside from the Green Wood Region, there were the Red Flame Region, the Blue Water Region, and the Silver Thunder Region. There was a significant reason why each region was named after a color and an element. This was due

Chapter: Ch 32: A Huge NetworkCyrus was stunned, but he soon noticed aside from him no one else reacted. It was as if they were used to it.This was the truth.Marcus explained and Cyrus soon understood everything.It turned out that every red light appears from the card only when the participant is a First-tier Star Warrior. When the participant is a Blue Spirit Star Warrior, a very deep blue light would appear. Different colors represent different stages of cultivation.The light serves as proof of one's identity as a participant in the Hidden Dragon Competition. When the competition begins, the light will automatically activate at the checkpoint, granting the individual access to the competition stage."Alright, you can leave now."The old man waved his hand. Yusuf walked down the stage happily. His strength was neither high nor low."Next."Immediately, a young girl walked up from below. She was seventeen or eighteen years old. Her face was round, and her eyes were blinking, shining brightly. She was a beauty.

Chapter: Ch 31: Genetic FluidsUpon entering Green Star City, Cyrus and Marcus were immediately greeted by a scene of endless prosperity and lively activity. Luxury cars streamed along the streets, which were crowded with people going about their day. Both sides of the main street were lined with vibrant shops. The air was filled with the constant sound of vendors calling out, advertising their goods, and adding to the city's energetic atmosphere."Let's find a restaurant to eat and rest for a while. Then I'll bring you to the place of registration."Since leaving Riverside City in the morning until now, the group had been hurrying on their way, and they were already exhausted. Although Marcus didn't need the food with his strength, others needed it. Therefore, Marcus and the others found a restaurant to eat and rest in so that they could relieve their fatigue.After some time, they finished their meal and, after taking a brief rest, got up and left......"Cyrus, this is the Eastern Garden.

Chapter: Ch 30: Hidden Dragon CompetitionThe black-robed man walked into the inn. He was slightly chubby, with an appearance and aura so ordinary that no one would have paid much attention to him. A simple, long blade hung on his back; there was nothing remarkable about it.As soon as he entered, some of the people in the inn glanced over out of habit. When they saw his plain appearance and felt his weak aura, most of them lost interest and went back to their drinks and conversations.But there were a few who observed him more carefully. Their eyes widened with sudden recognition, and a spark of curiosity lightened up in their gaze. They exchanged quick glances, acknowledging something, and then, with silent understanding, looked away, pretending nothing had happened.The man in the black robe was Chris. He had come to the inn under his father's orders to complete an important mission. It was urgent, and he had to stay under the radar. His identity had to remain a secret, no matter what. So, he made sure not to draw attentio

The smile on his face became even brighter."Happy?"Lucy was stunned, not understanding what made Cyrus so happy."Yes, I'm happy?"Cyrus nodded with a bright smile and spoke. His words made Lucy roll her eyes, and then, a smile also bloomed on her face. She elegantly flicked the swaying strand of long hair behind her ears, but soon regained her natural composure."Let's have our meal!"Cyrus spoke and started eating.In the next moment, Lucy’s jaw dropped as she stared at Cyrus in surprise. It is because when Cyrus saw the steak made from demonic beast meat, he didn't bother with a ettiquet. Instead, he stabbed it with a fork and started chewing as if it were a piece of flatbread."Mmm, this is delicious!"Even though he was having dinner with a stunning beauty, Cyrus seemed completely at ease.

Chapter: Ch 57: Dylan V/S Demon BaliThe little quiet village was thrown into chaos because of the arrival of Demon Bali. Waves of mournful sounds could be heard, along with miserable cries."Who are you? Why do you want to kill us?" A middle-aged frightened woman, holding a three-year-old child in her arms, kept backing away and asked."Humph!" Demon Bali sneered and the light of the sword suddenly flashed in his hand.Both of them fell to the ground, bleeding profusely. They could not be more dead."I beg you, don't kill us!""Help!""Demon, you are a demon!"Demon Bali was very fast. Without wasting any time speaking, he started a massacre as soon as he entered the village. Before long, more than ten people had been killed. Screams, cries for help, and curses sounded incessant, and the villagers were in fear and despair.This was a tragic scene. Demon Bali raised a blade toward these ordinary people like a butcher. Blood stained this remote village, and the corpses of the villagers were everywhere."No!"A young woman

Even if it doesn't have any seasoning, it still has a delicious taste. It's not something that the meat of ordinary demonic beasts can compare with."Immediately, a surge of vast energy burst inside his body, circulating in an orderly manner, guided by the mysterious energy, strengthening his physique.This process continued until Dylan ate the entire fish."My physical strength has increased again, I'm afraid, even without using any kind of skill, martial arts, or magic, I could fight on equal footing against a Martial King," Dylan muttered in a low voice and nodded his head in satisfaction.After eating, Dylan sat cross-legged and began digesting and cultivating at the same time......Two days later, Dylan entered a town that appeared in his line of sight. Dylan immediately understood that this town must be a small part of Blue Leaf Country. Since the town was here,

Chapter: Ch 55: Blue ArowanaDylan spent two months hunting down the demonic beasts and obtaining the hunting rewards from the system. But he did not immediately use them. Instead, he chose to store the cultivation years. Now, it has already been two months since he came out of the East Cloud Ancient Land, and adding to the two months he spent inside the East Cloud Ancient Land, it has already been four months.The ancient ruin Henry talked about should have opened and closed by now. Because Henry was inside the East Cloud Ancient Land, and after entering there, he told Dylan that it is no longer for him to enter the Ancient Ruin, Dylan did not feel any need to hurry to go to the Blue Leaf Country. Instead, he wanted to stay here and hunt so that he could increase his own strength.Now that there were only two months left, Dylan finally planned to leave the wilderness and enter the Blue Leaf Country.Since he was already very near the Blue Leaf Country, the desolate wilderness started slowly disappearing and ve

Are you afraid that someone will try to rob you of the Snow Spirit Fruit? Relax! This place is very remote and even Demonic Beasts may not be able to find it. Otherwise, that Snow Spirit Fruit wouldn't have been taken over by a Level Seven Demonic Beast."Grabbing a handful of clean snow from the ground and stuffing it into his mouth, the bone-penetrating coldness caused Kai to uncontrollably shiver."You have to be careful in everything. This is after all a Snow Spirit Fruit, so you should be more careful. What if the Ice Bear suddenly woke up and ate the Snow Spirit Fruit?" Rai said worriedly."That's unlikely." Kai hesitated.Although the probability of this happening was very low, it was still possible."Alright, then let's go!"Just to be safe, Kai did not hesitate and decided to rush there. This made Rai heave a sigh of relief.

Henry looked at the vortex with a serious expression on his face and said in a low voice. Dylan nodded and then both of them also entered the vortex. Before he entered, he heard Aurora's voice in his mind: "The danger inside is far more terrifying than what you encountered here. Try your best to survive and look for a green door with the carvings of an Azure Dragon. This door will lead you directly into the West Cloud Ancient Land from East Cloud Ancient Land. There, you need to obtain the second fragment of my crystalized soul. You already have one in your possession currently." "As long as you could gather all four, I can return once again.
