2024-04-03 19:43:12In a small, dirty alley of Blackwood City, within one of the neatly arranged old wooden houses.
“Darling, breakfast is ready.” Alex happily prepared breakfast for his wife.
“It is your favourite bacon. I woke up early to prepare it. Let's enjoy it together before heading to work."
Her wife refused to respond from their bedroom.
Alex placed the delicious-smelling bacon on the table and found her sitting on the edge of the bed. She was still in her pajamas, looking sullen.
“Are you okay, Honey?”
"No! I'm not okay, Alexander," she yelled angrily. "I want a divorce!"
"What?" Alex exclaimed in disbelief. "You're joking, right? Tomorrow is our first wedding anniversary."
He walked to her with shock in his face.
"Don’t come near me!" she screamed, filled with rage and disgust, hastily moved away, treating Alex like a disgusting creature.
"Darling?" Alex felt hurt.
"Stop calling me Darling. I hate it! My decision won't change. Don't you dare try to sweet-talk me!"
He retreated, slumping defeatedly into a kitchen chair, looking at her. “Why? I thought our life was perfect. I really love you, and you love me. We are happy!”
"That's exactly where you're wrong!” Merly screamed at the top of her lungs in rage. “You never try to understand me!”
Merly stormed to the cupboard hastily, snatched a handbag. "This handbag! You claimed it was bought with all your savings! It's so cheap, and I’m mortified to be seen with it!"
She threw it at Alex’s face with hatred.
Alex purchased it with three months' worth of his salary, avoiding spending anything for himself, all for the sake of his wife.
"And your second-hand motorcycle! I feel ashamed every time we go out, while everyone else has cars!"
"This ugly house, our month-to-month rented shack," she sadly sobbed. "With all the wall-leaking neighbors' fucking sounds!"
"I want a home, Alex! A place for me. But with your poor earnings, that will never happen."
Alex sat dejectedly, his heart aching.
"Merly, I'm already working two jobs, day at the construction site, night as a security guard. I can't take on more work. I have given you my everything."
Merly eyes pierced Alex with disdain and cruelty. “That’s the fucking issue, Alex. You're poor, while others swim in wealth!"
"Why can't you be rich like them? Why do you have to drag me into this life of poverty with you? You're a monster tormenting me! I want to be Rich!!!"
"Merly Luxenberg, everyone wants to be rich, but each person's fate is different," Alex felt the pain; all he did was love, yet now he is branded a tormenting wife monster.
"Let's not compare our lives to others; let's just live happily with what we have."
"I've had enough of you and your fucking philosophy of living happily in poverty," she retorted, standing up in defiance as she changed her clothes in rage.
"I've endured your delusions, tolerated this poor life without complaint. I'm exhausted and disappointed, wishing I never loved you! I want all of this to stop. I want my life back!"
Alex sighed heavily. He was the Supreme Commander of the Archelion Empire Military, a rank just below the emperor.
As the first in line to the throne, he adhered to the Archelion Royal family tradition, where a lion's cub must prove his worth in the wilderness before claiming his empire.
Incognito, he must survive independently without revealing his true identity or accessing his inheritance while living among the poor citizens.
If he marries during his incognito period and his spouse endures a year of frugality with him, he can then reveal his true identity to her and anyone else.
Their first anniversary was sadly just a few hours before midnight.
Merly stood at the door, her attire flawless, her eyes blazing with fury. "Let’s go."
"Where?" Alex startled.
“To the government agency, to file for our divorce,” she commanded harshly. “Now!”
Merly’s seriousness cuts through Alex like a blade.
Alex leaped up in panic, pulling a warped gift from the drawer.
“Listen, Merly. Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary. This is my gift. It's my everything. I beg you, just give a few more hours before midnight. You won’t regret it, I promise you.”
“Shut up!” She snatched the gift. “Listen, you a piece of trash. After a year, I’ve seen enough to know you’re nothing. And this gift... is a trash.”
With a scornful gesture, she threw it out the door. "I don't want trash in my life, just like I don't want you in it."
Alex hurried outside to retrieve the gift, containing very important items.
Neighbours had gathered around to witness the shameful drama, with some pointing their fingers and laughing disdainfully to Alex.
Such a shameful husband.
***
On the Great Archelion Empire military base, a million soldiers stand, while thousands of aircraft fill the blue skies, and thousands of battleships on the sea create an awe-inspiring magnificence across the horizon.
The old, scary-faced general stood, thundered his command fiercely. “Tomorrow, our Supreme Commander, Lord Alexander Kingsley, will return with his wife, Merly. We have dispatched the finest aircraft to personally escort them from Blackwood City.”
“I have told them, don’t let anyone hurt our Lord. Erase the entire Blackwood City if necessary! And none of you shall bring shame upon our dignity when our lord arrives!”
"Sir! Yes, Sir," a million soldiers answered in thunderous unison, their voices trembling and echoing through the air, reaching towards the heavens.

Merly stood at the door, rigid like a lioness, faced the gathered crowd fiercely."Everyone, look at this useless man," she shouted with contempt, "He can't bring me any happiness in my life. He gave me ugly, cheap things, and all bitter food to eat!"“Before marriage, I didn’t even need to work. Rich men were lining up to provide everything I needed!”"Since I married, I’ve known nothing but pain and poverty." She scanned the crowd arrogantly. "I ask you, do I have the right to divorce this worthless man?"An unmarried, 70-year-old grandmother retorted, "Merly, you are beautiful, and you are already too kind to your trash husband. If it were me, I would have long ago divorced him! Even if you gave him to me for free, I wouldn’t take him.""Agree," chimed in another ugly man. "Merly, you're too pretty for him. Even I am much better than him. Your husband is totally trash.""Sister," a man shouldered his way through the crowd in hurry. "Sorry I'm late. Where's that bastard?"Merly point

Alex clenched his stomach and gazed at the government agency building.Last year, he and Merly arrived, full of love and happiness, unable to wait even a second to sign their marriage papers.They declared the sacred oath together."In good times and bad, in sickness and health, for richer or poorer, until death do us part, we are committed to staying together."Sealing it with a sacred kiss forever.He even still vividly remembers the sweetness of the taste of the sacred kiss on her beautiful lips.Now he was the only one clinging to their oath."Trash! What are you standing there for?" Merly calling out to him impatiently. "Go in and get this over with."Alex’s had no choice. Together, they entered the crowded hall, took a number, and waited for their turn.The sterile scent of the government office mixed with Merly’s perfume as Alex beside her pleaded.“Merly, human can make mistake so, I will give you another chance?”Merly remained silent.“For all the love we've been through, all

Alex looked at the divorce paper.‘Winning is winning, losing is losing.’With a heavy sigh, he signed the paper.He accepted this harsh reality like a true man, burying all his love in the silent grave of agony. He vowed not to return to this place again.“She will regret it painfully, later,” the old officer muttered.“Pardon?”“I heard the commotion you both caused outside. The security came and told me. She wants a divorce because you are poor, right?”Alex nodded.The old woman sighed heavily. “You purposely showed her a smart device on your wrist, and there is a small royal logo on it. You’re not just anybody. But she is too oblivious to what she wants.”“You know about this?” Alex showed the smart device with small royal logo."I'm old enough to recognize a Cinderella story about a royal family revealing themselves a year after marriage. I've waited for it my entire life, but it never happened.”“Some newlywed women who left the marriage department with their husband were gossip

On the roadside, under the scorching sunlight, Alex's hands trembled with rage and irony as he flung the ring."So, Ugor is the real reason for our divorce?"Merly caught the ring; her face briefly showed a hint of guilt before transforming into aggressive arrogance.“So what? We are already divorced. I am free to do anything.”“You are right.” It was really a bitter reality, taste like a sand in Alex’s mouth.“Don’t you know who Ugor really is? He’s just going to play with your heart and body, then discard you. Can’t you find someone better, someone more human than a goat?”“Shut up!” Ugor interjected. “I’m going to marry Merly. If it weren’t for you, I’d have married her six months ago.”Alex ignored him, “Merly, ask yourself deep down, is Ugor the right one for you? He’s only slightly richer than me, just another worker.”He knew her well; they had been husband and wife for a year.“Anyone better than you is fine,” Merly's face flushed with shame, her eyes darting away to avoid the

Ugor and Merly watched in shock as the beautiful woman bowed to the poor Alex."Let's head back," Alex said, fed up with all the drama. He handed the smart wrist device and bank card to Lavinia. "Please return these items later."“Please give me a moment, Sir? It won’t take long,” Livinia sweetly said, taking the items and giving Alex a wink.She approached Ugor and the car owner, who were still engaged in a heated argument, with Merly siding with Ugor.“Excuse me, gentlemen,” Lavinia interjected. “Can you give me a moment? It won’t be long.”She then turned to Merly. “You must be Merly, Alex’s ex-wife.”“And who are you?” Merly looked her suspiciously.“Oh, where are my manners? I am Lavinia, Alex’s personal assistant,” she replied with a graceful tone, her demeanour exuding nobility.The scent of her expensive perfume filled the air.“These two items were supposed to be Alex’s wedding gifts to Mrs. Merly. I personally arranged them under Alex’s instructions. But it seems they were d

Merly burst into the room, her eyes wide with desperation, declaring, “Cancel my divorce this instant!”The woman looked at Merly, her finger already on the enter button. "Oops... I just pushed it."Merly's face turned into a shock; her smart device was still connected to Auna."Oh, I apologize, Mrs. Merly,” Auna suddenly called. “Our system just processing your divorce. As a result, this bank account will be terminated. Have a nice day."The screen suddenly went blank."Why did you put it in the system?" Merly’s anger flaring at the worker.“I had tried to give you 15 minutes before, but you refused it! Go back to Mr. Alexander, ask him to sign the marriage papers again," the woman disdainfully said. “Loser!”In a mixed feeling of fury and loss, Merly walked out.The guard halted Merly with a lewd grin. "He's signed the divorce papers. Do you have time tonight?""Shut up!" Merly snapped, pushing him away angrily.Outside the parking lot, in the burning heat of the sunlight, she found

"What? What did you just say?" The general manager stood up, shock and disbelief evident on his face. No one had ever spoken so boldly in front of him in his entire life."I'll repeat it as many times as you want," Alex said, fed up with everything.“This place, Luster, is not your fucking place."The worker’s face was pale, they were so shocked that they didn’t dare say anything or make even the smallest move.“Explain, you bastard,” Luster demanded, his voice seething with fury his body trembling in anger.“This Total Construction has stockholders; they are the real owners. We are all just workers here, and you, despite being the general manager, are a salary eater like us. Or…”Stepping forward, Alex's eyes blazed with defiance. "Do you believe you're the boss here? Acting arrogantly all this time? Some people snap their fingers then you wouldn't find a job for the rest of your life."“Great... great... Looks like you’ve finally gone crazy,” Luster retorted, scanning the room.“All

"Guys, what are you doing here?" The sudden, sweet call in the tense room was like a melody, instantly turning all heads and calming the stormy air.They all turned toward the source, beholding a vision of goddess beauty with luxury clothes.A woman with her long, wavy hair cascading over her shoulders, her movements radiated grace and elegance. Her smile, warm and inviting, seemed to thaw even the iciest demeanour, carrying with her an autumnal aura."Miss Sophia," Lucas stammered, hastily releasing Alex's collar as everyone, trying to get a good side of Sophia, returned to their chairs.Sophia Deneuve, in her twenties, was the golden apple of the wealthy Deneuve family, the CEO of Deneuve Hotel, and top 3 goddess in the Blackwood City."Hello, guys," Sophia's melodious voice dissolved the tension, her elegant floral perfume lingering, enchanting everyone present."Hi, Miss Sophia," the men responded, their faces lighting up with an almost foolish delight. To them, Sophia was like an

Alex leaned back in his chair, boots kicked up on a dusty table.His gaze settled on the wiry youth chained at the center of the courtyard.“Kid,” he said, voice low and steady, “what’s your name?”The youth lifted her chin, eyes flickering with pride despite the bruises on her face.“Scarlett,” she answered, fire behind her words.Alex took a moment, studying every detail of her battered form.Finally, he spoke. “Scarlett, if I gave you the chance to wipe out the Fallen Angel Family—every last one of those bastards—what would you do?”She froze, uncertainty twisting her features. “Why are you asking me that?”Alex shrugged, his tone dripping with disdain. “Because I’m not one of them, and I’m sure as hell not their friend. Especially after they threatened to kill me first.”A dark, cold light flared in Scarlett’s eyes.“If you can really give me that shot at revenge,” she said, “I’ll swear by the graves of my parents. I’ll serve you until I die. Break that promise, and I’ll accept an

Alex dipped his head in a slight bow. “Thank you, Uncle.”A slow smile tugged at his lips.This old fox must think he’s just won the jackpot, he thought, already plotting his next move.If Yoshua followed him back to the city, Alex intended to make sure the man never left.Truth was, Alex did hold the key to curing Yoshua’s mysterious illness.But he knew exactly what kind of monster Yoshua was: as long as the disease ate at him, Yoshua feared Alex’s power.Once cured, the patriarch would regain his vicious edge—and Alex would lose his upper hand.Yoshua barked an order to his men. “Prepare a grand banquet! We’re celebrating the arrival of my dear nephew, Kane.”Alex gave Yoshua a polite nod. “Lord Patriarch, I need to return to the city. My friends are waiting, and I don’t want them clashing with your people by mistake.”Yoshua’s eyebrows flicked upward. “Friends of my nephew are friends of the Fallen Angel Family. I can send my guards to fetch them.”“I’d prefer to go myself,” Alex

Alex’s mind raced as he blurted, “My ancestors were Lightborne. I only just returned to these lands—I had no clue I’d crossed your borders.”The young woman’s silver eyes flared with surprise. “Lightborne? That family once held the power to grant entry into the city itself.”She paused, staring at Alex like he was some relic long thought lost.“I’m Windy,” she said. “Since our family was exiled generations ago, we’ve survived on the fringes, never permitted back inside the city’s walls. If your bloodline is truly Lightborne, I have to show you to my father immediately. Follow me!”Without waiting for an answer, she spun on her heel and strode deeper into the forest.Alex—calling himself Kane—fell in step behind her, quietly taking in the towering trees and the ancient hush that hung over the place.Despite her slender figure, Windy moved with coiled energy, her silver armor catching flickers of dying daylight.She was strong. He could feel it.Suddenly, the forest parted to reveal a c

The sky hung like a dirty sheet overhead, choked with ash-gray clouds.Every few minutes, some colossal, twisted-looking bird would slice through the gloom, screeching so high-pitched it felt like it could split skulls.That sound was enough to kill anyone’s morning mood. No one said a word about it; they just kept trudging along, scanning the horizon like anxious sentries.Ethan glanced around uneasily, his gaze lingering on every shape that might hide something dangerous.“This place,” he muttered, voice tight with dread, “it gives me the creeps.”Carlos snorted, half to hide his own fear. “Yeah, well, keep those eyes open. Something’s lurking here.”Everyone was on pins and needles—beasts, monsters, or worse could be waiting in the blasted wilderness.Suddenly Ethan’s hand shot up, pointing to a ghostly shape rising from the far-off horizon. “See that?” he whispered, brow furrowed like he was afraid it might be a mirage.Alex followed Ethan’s line of sight. Way out there, looming i

Ethan’s voice cut through the drip of rain and the crackle of distant lightning.“Alex,” he panted, eyes darting over the barren landscape, “where the hell do we go now?”Alex ran a hand through his damp hair. “We keep pushing forward. We need the Energy Stones to fire up the teleportation array and get home. Staying in this nightmare isn’t an option.”They trudged across the muddy plains, each step sucking at their boots.Hours had passed since they first landed in this forsaken realm—plenty of time to realize it crawled with creatures that could rip them to shreds.Food wasn’t the issue; they had enough supplies stashed in their interspatial rings for a year if necessary. But Alex refused to rot in this place.He remembered that in his past life, Lord Clark escaped after just half a month.That meant the Energy Stones existed somewhere out here. They just had to survive long enough to find them.Up ahead, faint flickers of light dotted a distant mountainside.Carlos’s face hardened

In the dark night, Alex, Cassandra, Carlos, Julia, Ethan, and the others sprinted through the debris.Behind them, a swarm of Kobolds—humanoid mutants with reptilian eyes and razor-sharp teeth—screeched in pursuit.Their shrill cries echoed off toppled concrete and twisted cars.Carlos glanced over his shoulder, heart pounding.“There are too many!” he shouted. “If we don’t find a way to lose them, we’ll be cornered.”Ethan, struggling to keep up, barked back, “Any bright ideas? These freaks just keep coming!”“Yeah,” Alex muttered grimly. “We head for that glow.”At the far end of a ravaged avenue, a faint greenish light pulsed in the drizzling darkness.“Damn it, that’s clearly not a safe house!”“Keep running!” Alex added.Carlos squinted and frowned. “You want to run straight for whatever that is? For all we know, it might be another death trap.”Alex checked the creature in front of him. “It’s a Mutant Giant Zombie.”Julia sucked in a breath. “You’re kidding… like one of those gi

Cassandra stood with her arms crossed, gaze locked on Alex in the distance.Something about watching him focus sent a thrilling spark through her veins. The feeling felt so good it almost scared her.“Hey,” someone said behind her. She turned to see a lively young woman approach, her smile bright. “You’re Cassandra, right?”“That’s me,” Cassandra answered, the corners of her mouth curling into a polite smile.“You really are gorgeous,” the newcomer said. “When I was at Miracle Institute, I heard you were the cold, untouchable beauty. Yet here you are, chatting with these lunatics.”She flicked a look at Carlos and Ethan, who were fooling around nearby. A teasing grin spread across her face. “I’m Julia, by the way.”Cassandra’s cheeks tinted pink. “You flatter me,” she said quietly.Julia gave a mock roll of her eyes.“Please. I’ve heard the rumors. Ice queen this, untouchable that.” Then her grin softened.“Yet somehow, you’re running around with a pack of rowdy misfits. That’s surpri

Alex slammed on the brakes at the outskirts of Miracle City.Dust billowed around the old truck as everyone jumped out, drawn to the massive dome-like structure looming ahead.Its ancient walls were scarred by years of rain, leaving the stone mottled and worn.It looked nothing like the rest of Miracle City, with its modern spires and bustling streets.This place stood apart, brimming with mystery and a hint of danger.In the last Earth Empire age, Miracle City had housed countless people.Then the Mutant Beasts attacked in a crazed wave of bloodshed, wiping out most inhabitants.Bodies disappeared without a trace, and the city’s original history vanished, replaced by fear and rumors.The only solid record spoke of a legendary magician who led hundreds of thousands in a desperate retreat into the surrounding mountains.From there, they rebuilt Miracle City time and again, each incarnation rising from the rubble of the last.But the real origin story had crumbled with the centuries.Mo

The crowd fell silent, every pair of eyes locked on Alex and Camelot.No one could wrap their head around how a guy with “just” an alpha-wolf genetic—slightly larger than a regular wolf but nowhere near the brutal size of some mutant beasts—could demolish someone like Camelot so easily.Even Camelot’s beast mutation hadn’t saved him; Alex had taken him out.Everyone was dying to know the secret behind Alex’s unbelievable power.But Cassandra, Carlos, and Ethan—his longtime companions—had a hunch.They knew Alex exploited the perfect moment to unleash his Gravity magic, crushing his opponent’s movement before targeting their weakest spot.It didn’t matter if Camelot was stronger on paper. One slip was all Alex needed.Camelot rose unsteadily, crimson hatred blazing in his eyes.He couldn’t accept losing—especially not in front of so many people.He’d always been the top dog in Miracle City. How could some kid steal his thunder and humiliate him in public?His claws dug into his palms,
