The Campus Guard is a Retired God of War
They call him the "Watchdog of the West Gate." To the wealthy students, Alistair Cain is a joke—a dropout husband living off his brilliant professor wife, tasked with nothing more than checking IDs and chasing stray dogs off campus. To his wife’s powerful family, he is a stain on their reputation, a useless son-in-law who should have been discarded years ago.
But they don’t know why the West Gate is the only place on campus where the shadows never move. They don’t know that the "stray dogs" he chases are actually Hellhounds trying to breach the mortal realm. And they certainly don’t know that Alistair is actually the Calamity Star—the exiled God of War serving a 1,000-year penance to suppress the ancient evil beneath the university library.
When the seal begins to crack and the elite families of the city become pawns in a demonic war, the useless security guard finally stands up. "You can insult me all you want," Alistair says, adjusting his uniform cap. "But step one foot past this gate, and not even the Heavens can save you."

The Underestimated Cripple Is A Miracle Doctor
"Oh shut up, please!" Olivia said dismissively without any hesitation, standing up and folding her arms to her chest.
Jason looked shocked, his eyes moved to her, then to the others, who still hadn’t said a word in his defense.
"Why have you chosen to be this useless?" she continued in a low growl. "You haven’t worked a single day since we got married. Maybe you just like sitting in that chair, being pitiful, and using it as your excuse for why you're a broke man."
Jason’s teeth clenched. He wanted to defend himself, to explain again, but the moment he opened his mouth, Olivia raised a hand.
"Don’t say a word, I’m not done. You think you can play the victim forever? My family paid for your therapy, flew you around the world, gave you access to the best doctors, and yet here you are, back with the same damaged spine and still sitting in that chair." She rubbed her forehead.
Jason lowered his gaze, disappointed at her reaction but he didn’t talk.
