No trace, no witnesses. Just... gone.One man is preparing.One man is rising.Roman.But just when he thinks he's the only one pulling the strings in the dark...Others begin to move.Reincarnated. Ruthless. Just like him.The game is no longer survival.It's domination.In this new world, only one king can rule from the shadows.And Roman will burn the world before he kneels.

[ Warning: Extremely Mature Content ]Betrayed by Heaven. Cast down to rot – big mistake.Cain was Heaven's executioner – the angel they sent when mercy was off the table. But when he killed the wrong angel, the archangels fabricated charges and threw him to Earth with his divine core shattered into a thousand pieces.They expected him to die in agony.Instead, he woke up with a system that offers him a path back to power: The Celestial Corruption System. The method? Seduce women and absorb their essence to rebuild his strength.From helpless and broken to supernatural enforcer, Cain claws his way through the hidden underworld – assassinations, faction wars, forbidden territories. Every mission brings him closer to power, and every woman he corrupts brings him one step closer to revenge.Vampire queens. Demon huntresses. Rival assassins. Witches playing dangerous games. Mob bosses' wives. The untouchable. The forbidden. The married.He'll seduce them all.Because Heaven wanted him to suffer and fade into nothing. Instead, they gave him exactly what he needed to become something far more dangerous than he ever was before.They should have made sure he stayed dead.---What this book will have:An exceptional story and plot outside the R18 elements.A dark, ruthless anti-hero.Supernatural faction warfare.———No Yuri, No Ntr
