Alan, son of Thor, was raised in the Lost Lands from childhood. Following his father Thor’s instructions, he took the betrothal silver ring and the Thunder Warhammer, heading for Silvermoon City to marry Princess Leia, his childhood‑betrothed fiancée. On his journey through the Misty Forest, Alan rescued Princess Thea from an ambush by the Nether Army and displayed formidable strength. Yet he concealed his divine power per his father’s warning. Upon arriving in Silvermoon City, fearing the incoming Nether Army would put Alan in danger, Leia lied that she had passed away, only permitting Alan a three‑day stay in the city. Later, Alan shattered the unbreakable Chosen‑One Stone with his bare hands, drawing widespread suspicion. The Nether Army suddenly laid siege to the city. One knight after another fell in battle. At the critical moment, Alan leaped off the city wall. Wielding the Thunder Warhammer, he slew multiple enemy generals. He also met his long‑lost divine beast Lightning Beast, and handily defeated the Nether Prince. Unwilling to accept defeat, the Nether King sent his subordinate to disguise herself as Corinna and Princess Thea, plotting repeatedly to trick Alan into handing over the almighty Thunder Warhammer. Alan saw through every scheme. To capture Thea and blackmail Silvermoon City, the Nether King led his main army personally, gravely wounding Alan. When all hope seemed lost, Thor arrived alongside his friend Baldr. They expended their divine power and precious medicine to restore Alan’s cultivation, while Lightning Beast sacrificed its origin power to assist him. Empowered by the combined strength, Alan marched out for the final showdown. He defeated the modified, invulnerable Nether Commander and killed the Nether King, wiping out the invading Nether forces.

During a hunting trip, I was mauled by a grizzly bear and rushed to the hospital. Seeing how panicked my boyfriend looked, a playful idea struck me, and I decided to play a little prank on him. “Who are you?” I asked. Toby froze. Just as I was about to laugh and tell him the truth, he suddenly pushed his older brother, Logan, forward. “I’m your boyfriend’s younger brother,” Toby said. The next second, he pulled my best friend, Chloe, into his arms. “And I’m also your best friend’s boyfriend.” My face stiffened. Yet, Logan stepped closer to my bedside. “That’s right. I’m your boyfriend.” I looked at him and smiled. “Okay. Then I’m going home with you.” It was just a boyfriend, after all. If he were defective, I could easily replace him.

Vera is an ordinary girl at Emerald Valley High School who has long suffered from bullying, but she hides a secret that no one knows—her father, Arthur, is a former mob cleaner; her mother, Trice, is a queen of financial short-selling; and her brother, Julian, is a top-tier hacker with a yandere streak. After the bullies are invited to her home as guests, the entire family sets a terrifying trap, and her brother lures the three bullies into an abandoned factory for a "game" of torture, forcing them to tear each other apart and confess their own crimes. Behind the scenes, Vera orchestrates the delivery of evidence, guiding her family to strike one by one—exposing bullying videos, short-selling the bullies' family businesses, and eliminating any loose ends. In the end, the bullies kneel and apologize in public, while their families go bankrupt and are imprisoned. But Vera's mysterious journal reveals the truth: every event was meticulously planned by her own hand; her family were merely the blades she wielded. The real game has only just begun.
