With only his spear, wits, and tattoos carved into his skin, he embarks on an odyssey through treacherous waters, hunted by empires, feared by island tribes, and stalked by beasts of the deep who seek vengeance for the blood he has stolen. Amidst floating islands, cursed seas, and lost civilizations, Alon must uncover the truth behind his newfound power—before it consumes him.

Having an aching head while feeling sore on her body, she tried to recall what happened to her last night. ‘Oh shit!’ Angie exclaimed in her mind “You’re still here?” A man’s deep hoarse voice suddenly rang in her ears. “Are you stupid? If I already left would you still see me here?” Angie uttered in disdain as she rolled her eyes in dismay. She calmly declared without looking behind, “I’ll be leaving. We can forget about everything that happened between us.”  “Before you leave, why don't we get some good morning exercise?” The man whispered. “Mister, I don’t know how we ended up on this bed together. All I know is I was drugged and I can’t remember anything after that, but it doesn’t mean we could do something I'm not interested in.” Angie uttered with indifference in her voice. He lifted his hand and gently moved the hair that covered her cheek away. “I don’t mind reminding you what happened last night.” “No thanks. I’d rather not remember. So would you please let me go?” Angie coldly declared after glaring at him before she flicked the hand that was brushing her cheek. “What if I won’t let you go unless you‘ll have some morning exercises with me?” The cold expression on Angie's face stayed the same when she said, “Why? You were also drugged last night, weren’t you? If that's the case, then we just used each other to relieve ourselves, so we don’t owe each other. Now, let me go!” “That’s exactly the reason why I want to do it again since we're both drugged. We should enjoy it now that we’re both sober.” The man claimed unreasonably that Angie's patience was reaching its limits. **** He calmly inquired. “Why don't you want to marry me? Am I not that handsome enough? Am I still poor in your eyes? What am I lacking in for you to reject me?” He seriously claimed while staring straight into her eyes. “I'll agree with any of your terms as long as you marry me.” “I'm not interested!” Angie proclaimed giving no room for rejection. **** Angie, a twenty-five-year-old single mother was living peacefully with her family when she met Anna and followed her in her home country with a contract; to be her sister.

In the year 2435, Kaelen Vance reigned supreme as the "King of All Games," a world where digital mastery dictated global status. But when a bitter rivalry spills out of the simulation and into reality, Kaelen and his elite team are caught in a deadly ambush. Standing at the threshold of the afterlife, Kaelen is met by a mysterious entity who offers him a choice: eternal peace or a second chance in a world governed by a far more visceral system. ​Reborn into the body of a discarded youth in the rugged world of Derma, Kaelen finds himself in a land where power is literally etched into the skin. In this new reality, "Tattooed" warriors manifest supernatural abilities through living ink, progressing through a hierarchy of colors and categories. Armed with a cynical wit, a spectral mask tattoo of unknown potential, and a mysterious interface visible only to him, Kaelen must navigate a landscape far more treacherous than any virtual arena. Beyond the petty bullies of his small village lies a vast, unforgiving continent ruled by ancient ink-clans and monstrous entities of legendary power. In a world where the strongest can level mountains with a flex of their skin, Kaelen is a small fish in a deep, dark ocean. The game has changed, the stakes are mortal, and the King must now adapt to survive a realm where his current strength is nothing but a drop of ink in an endless sea of blood and ambition.
