Any resemblance to real names, places, or events is coincidental. This is an extremely fast-paced novel, and the protagonist becomes absurdly overpowered. He is not the usual “hero complex” type. The villain and antihero tags are not for show. If you are looking for a “goody-two-shoes” protagonist, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. Note for Readers (Please do not skip): Early on, Kailen awakens with a shadow affinity. Yes—it may remind you of popular works you've read… but this is only the beginning. As the story progresses, he will unlock and master multiple affinities, each adding a unique blend to his path. The shadow affinity is a nod to some of my favorite novels, but the journey, characters, and world are entirely my own. Join the Community: Care to interact with me and other readers?

Death punishment Quest for vengeance (book1)

In 1950, a cosmic cataclysm awakened extraordinary powers in humanity, gifts of heroism and harbingers of havoc. Hero organizations rose to tame the storm, trading strength and status for loyalty in a world teetering on the edge. Ember City stood as the beacon of that uneasy order... until the shadows stirred. Five years ago, two legendary heroes sealed a Demon King threatening total annihilation. They vanished, presumed lost. Peace reigned fragile, fleeting. Now, on a fateful Thanksgiving night, a enigmatic villain shatters the seal. The Demon King awakens, unleashing hell on Ember City. Streets run red. Heroes clash in desperation. At the heart of the fray: Black Mentis, the world's mightiest defender—and Alan Winchester's father. As the battle spirals into catastrophe, a desperate act channels unimaginable power into Alan, forever altering his fate. But such inheritance comes at a shattering price. Grief-fueled and burdened by forces his body can barely contain, Alan flees to China's ancient paths. There, brutal training and veiled secrets forge him anew—not as a hero, but as something forged in fire. This is no tale of capes and villains. It's the odyssey of a boy broken by legacy, fueled by fury, navigating hidden realms, parallel worlds, and god-like threats. His revenge ignites the spark. What follows could reshape existence.
