Apotheosis of a Demon – A Monster Evolution Story - Chapter 56 - THE CHAMPION – 3

Power comes with a cost... and it was something she was willing to trade her soul for.A few nights before her wedding, Lauren sought a way to break her fourth engagement. Known for her bad reputation as the rebel princess, she was the only lady who had the guts to step foot on the Everston mansion, the house of a notorious warlord, in the middle of the night.She offered him a wicked alliance that the entire kingdom did not see coming: a marriage.A vixen pretending to be a damsel in distress and a man whose crimson eyes screaming for bloodshed. Could something blossom in this treacherous dance of lies and deception?--“Are you upset?”She eyed him sharply. “Should I be honored that I got tricked by you, milord?”He drank the remaining wine in his glass with one gulp and put it on the wooden table.He stepped in front of her. His hand was on the rail on her side while his other hand grabbed her glass and finished her wine before putting it down.The way his Adam's apple moved with his every violent gulp made her feel a tickling heat around her nape.When he brought his attention back to her, he licked his lips to wipe off the trace of wine.“How shall I make it up to you then?” he asked with his deep voice, like a seductive devil asking his victim how she would like to be killed. Dangerous yet… enthralling.

2029 was supposed to be the year humanity moved forward.Instead, a failed military experiment tore open a gate to another dimension unleashing creatures that could shatter mountains with a single strike.From the wreckage, a new era began. Technology forged from energy crystals found beyond the gate and soldiers wielding beast infusions fuels humanity’s last defenses.Soldiers, mercenaries, and the desperate are sent to hunt the beasts... and one day, to face the terror that waits Beyond the Crimson Gate.But every step closer to the gate brings one truth into focus. What waits on the other side may not be killable.

The eternal night is coming, and the killing ground descends.Gods fall, and a hundred ghosts parade at night.You can stand in the forefront and announce the arrival of the era's tide to the world, or you can hide in the darkness and coldly observe the struggle of others to survive.Liberate your thoughts, embrace your destiny, this is the absolute real game, this is, Earth's Killing Field.
