• THE CEO’S PET   Chapter 16: The Split Soul

  The blinding red smoke cleared slowly from the ruined threshold of the throne room.The two royal sentinels who had stood guard moments ago were entirely gone, incinerated into fine black ash that drifted lazily across the scorched marble floor. Standing in their place was a horrifying sight.Emperor Caelum V stepped forward, his royal robes torn to shreds and replaced by armor woven from solid, weeping dark fire. But it was not just his appearance that had changed. The Emperor's body was splitting at the seams. A secondary torso and head—a grotesque, shadowy duplicate of Caelum himself—ripped outward from his left shoulder like a parasitic twin, its single golden eye burnin

• THE CEO’S PET   Chapter 15: March to the Throne

  The heavy wooden doors at the top of the grand staircase burst open. Dozens of fresh Imperial Guards spilled into the gallery, their Aether-rifles raised and glowing with dangerous red energy."Secure the gallery! The Emperor has been attacked!" a commanding voice echoed over the clamor.Emmeline tightened her grip on her daggers, stepping back slightly to align her shoulder with Albrecht's. Her emerald eyes scanned the advancing line of soldiers with cold calculation. "There are at least fifty of them up front, General. And the lower stairwell is packed with reinforcements."Albrecht didn't flinch. He rested the heavy hilt of the Aether-Cleaver against the blood-

• THE CEO’S PET   Chapter 14: The Final Severing

  The heavy halberd whistled through the air, aimed directly at Albrecht’s exposed neck.Inside their shared mind, panic seized the Emperor. Faced with imminent death, the mental wall separating their consciousness suddenly dropped."Take it! Take it all!" Caelum shrieked.Albrecht didn't hesitate. He seized control of the nervous system. The heavy fog of the Aether-Void core still weighed down the room, but physical muscles didn't need magic to kill.Albrecht threw his head back, dodging the sharp blade by a hair's breadth. The halberd sheared off a lock of silver hair before biting deep into the stone floor.

• THE CEO’S PET   Chapter 13: The Divided Titan

  Hundreds of crossbow bolts and searing beams from Aether-rifles rained down from the shattered ceiling."Block it, old man!" Albrecht roared inside his own mind, his right hand struggling to pull the Aether-Cleaver from the flooded floor."Do not command me in my own palace, General!" Emperor Caelum’s voice snapped back, echoing in their shared skull.Without Albrecht's input, his own left arm snapped upward. A massive, dome-shaped shield of pure golden Aether erupted above them. The lethal barrage slammed into the barrier, shattering into harmless sparks and smoke.Emmeline dove under the golden shield, her breathing heavy. She loo

• THE CEO’S PET   Chapter 12: The Parasite King

  The sickening sound of Valen’s wrist shattering echoed in the steamy vault.Albrecht didn't scream, but a violent tremor ripped through his dying body. Blood poured from his nose and mouth, soaking the inside of his iron mask. The golden eyes staring down at him were filled with absolute, tyrannical arrogance."Does it hurt, General?" Emperor Caelum’s voice sneered from Albrecht’s original lips. "To feel your own physical perfection crush your pathetic, borrowed bones?""You are just a parasite," Albrecht choked out. He tried to pull his arm away, but the grip was like a steel vice."I am a god!" the Emperor roared. He l

• THE CEO’S PET   Chapter 11: Flesh Against Steel

  The fist hit the flat of the Aether-Cleaver with the force of a falling meteor.A deafening shockwave ripped through the steamy vault. The stagnant water on the floor was blown backward, revealing the cracked stone beneath. Albrecht slid back ten feet, his boots carving deep trenches into the ground.Beneath his heavy leather coat, Valen’s arms snapped.Albrecht spat a mouthful of dark blood inside his iron mask. He felt the radius bone in his left arm splinter, tearing through muscle."Damn it," Albrecht grunted, struggling to hold the massive black sword steady. "I forgot how hard I hit."The silver-haire
