Ten years ago, the Black Gate appeared at the heart of the city, unleashing strange creatures that nearly destroyed the world.
At that moment, a young boy — Rayan Al-Salem — was pulled into the gate before everyone’s eyes… and was presumed dead.

But the truth was far stranger:
Rayan was transported to another realm — a world ruled by spiritual energy, mythical beasts, and powerful combat sects.
There, he became one of the strongest warriors, gaining rare abilities and an ancient secret feared by all.

Now… the Black Gate opens once more.
And Rayan returns to Earth — thousands of times stronger — only to discover that the world has changed, and that people are waiting for him… fearing him… or wanting him dead before he uncovers the full truth.

With his return, a series of intertwined romantic bonds begins to form naturally between him and several key heroines — without crossing any inappropriate content — all woven organically into the plot.

The air was cold… colder than I remembered.


When I opened my eyes, the only sound was the echo of my footsteps on cracked pavement.


The city I once knew stood before me—broken, exhausted, as if it too had survived a decade-long battle.


I brushed the dust off my black coat—the one that had become part of me in the other world—and looked up at the sky.


Above the tall buildings, the clouds split open to reveal the Black Gate.


It spun slowly, like a wound that refused to heal.


> "Unregistered entity detected near the Gate perimeter! Rapid-response units, mobilize!"


Maybe that was exactly what I had become.


Armored vehicles screeched to a halt around me, forming a tight circle.


Soldiers in anti-energy suits aimed their weapons directly at my head.


I had faced monsters that made a thousand soldiers tremble…


But my heart beat differently now—like a reunion waiting to happen.


Then a clatter—one soldier dropped his weapon.


A woman stepped out of the lead vehicle, her pace fast but controlled.


Dark hair tied back, sharp eyes trained on me even before she fully approached.


The woman who thought I had died ten years ago.


I lowered my hands, giving her a faint smile.


"You always were the first to believe."


And for the first time in years… I saw the glimmer of a tear she tried to hold back.


But before she took even a single step—


A familiar surge of dark energy spilled out as Mira—the sorceress who followed me from the other world—stepped through, her blue hair swirling like living flame.


She glared at the soldiers, then pointed to me:


> "I told you I wouldn't let you return alone, my spiritual husband."


My return… wasn't the beginning of peace.
