Strange Lover Under a Blood Contract

timdik397
I woke up in a gilded cage of glass and steel called New York, a city breathing secrets and shimmering with lies. But this glittering skyline is alien, this body isn't mine, and the only thing anchoring my fractured soul is a centuries-old hatred burning for one name: **Blackwood.** My past life was stolen by their treachery, my family erased. Now, thrust into the borrowed life of a reckless socialite who dabbled in forces she couldn't comprehend, I'm left with fragmented memories, unstable, dangerous power flickering at my fingertips, and the chaotic aftermath of a ritual gone terribly wrong. Lying at the heart of that chaos? A man. Enigmatic, beautiful, and unnervingly familiar, even as every instinct screams danger. He might be the key to understanding the strange energy binding me, or just another pawn in the Blackwoods' deadly game. Worse, he carries their name, their blood. He is everything I am sworn to destroy. Yet, in the suffocating darkness of my vengeance, his presence is an unexpected gravity, pulling me towards a precipice where hatred and a terrifying, unwelcome desire collide. In a city where power hides in shadows and ancient grudges bleed into the modern world, I must navigate a treacherous path. Can I unravel the mystery of my stolen past and unleash my revenge before this new identity consumes me? Can I trust the stranger whose very existence mocks my mission, even as his gaze holds a dangerous promise? One wrong move could expose me. One moment of weakness could bind me to the enemy forever. **Is this blood bond my weapon, or my damnation?**

Ethan Carter, a man drowning in debt, is given an ultimatum by his ruthless loanshark—pay up or disappear. When he’s pushed off a cliff, he expects death. Instead, he awakens in a strange world with two suns in the sky. Stranded and alone, he stumbles across a village barely surviving under the cruel rule of Lord Varkos. Taken in by a cautious young woman named Lyra, Ethan struggles to understand their language and their plight. That night, he encounters a mysterious figure calling itself the God of Creation, who grants him the power to understand all languages—a gift for a traveler. As Ethan learns about Varkos’s oppressive reign, he feels powerless to help. But when a hunting trip turns deadly, he unknowingly activates an ability that allows him to travel between worlds. He wakes up back on Earth, shaken but determined to return. Armed with supplies and weapons, he thinks of Avalon—and suddenly, he’s back. Ethan’s return changes everything. He saves Lyra from certain death and slowly earns the villagers’ trust. But when Varkos’s soldiers arrive to collect taxes, taking the last of their food, Ethan can’t stand by. His act of defiance marks the beginning of something greater—a fight for freedom. As he trains the villagers for rebellion, the God of Creation warns him: “Changing fate comes at a price.” But Ethan has already made his choice. He won’t let Avalon suffer the way he did. This is the story of a man who fell into another world—only to rise as its hope.
