At eighteen she is already a legend in the army. The coldest, sharpest soldier in a generation, perfect at everything she touches and interested in nothing but the next target. They call her a machine. No one knows she is the lost heir of a slaughtered crime family, alive only because someone hid her, and that every medal she earns is one more step toward the man who killed her parents. Three men know who she really is. The youngest general in the country's history loved her before either of them had a word for it, and now guards her from the shadows — she files him under "older brother." The soldier she grew up and bled beside would burn the world for her, and she is certain he only ever sees a little sister. And the mafia lord who has hunted her for three years means to set a crown on her head or a bullet through it, whichever keeps her. She misreads the first two and underestimates the third. She is wrong on every count.

[THE COVER OF THE NOVEL ISN'T MINE IT IS CREATED AREKUSHISU_1 ] Adrian Cross was a man carved by war and hardened by loss. After watching his adoptive family brutally murdered, he tore through the world like a storm—until his revenge was complete… and so was his life. Then, he woke up again. In a new world. In someone else’s body. Now he is Franz Kafka, a mysterious transfer student in a world straight out of a cliché power-fantasy novel—complete with a chosen one, childhood-friend heroines, and divine systems. But Franz isn’t part of the story. He’s not even supposed to exist. What begins as a second chance spirals into something far stranger. Tasked by bickering gods to “protect the main cast” until an impending world-shifting event, Franz must play bodyguard, cleaner, and occasional executioner in the shadows of a story he doesn’t care about. But when a figure from his past appears—someone he thought he lost forever—the line between peace and bloodlust blurs once more. As Franz starts unraveling the world’s secrets, old rage bubbles up… and with it, a darker question

Adrian Hale, a 19-year-old swordsman and apprentice blacksmith, lives in Valdric, a bustling medieval city where adventurers chase glory and dungeons tempt the brave. Unlike other hot-blooded youths, Adrian stays low-key, preferring the steady rhythm of hammer and anvil over the chaos of fame. Raised by a modest blacksmith uncle after his parents disappeared during a dungeon expedition, Adrian learned discipline, self-reliance, and the value of honest work. But he isn’t ordinary — he possesses a faint, mysterious “system” that whispers small insights about materials, weapons, and trade, though never enough to make him overpowered. Determined to build a peaceful life, Adrian balances sword training with running his forge, crafting high-quality weapons for adventurers while avoiding unnecessary attention. Along the way, he forms quiet friendships, crosses paths with noble clients, and earns a reputation for both skill and fairness. Yet beneath Valdric’s thriving markets and lively taverns lies a shifting world of political intrigue, dungeon secrets, and magical currents that threaten to draw even a low-key blacksmith into events far beyond his plans.
