Kael Lancaster grew up believing his family was ordinary—until he discovered that his estranged grandfather, Theodore, was a multi billionaire.

Struggling with his family's debts and uncertain future, Kael decides to approach his grandfather and move into the Lancaster estate, becoming the old man's caretaker. For two years, he endures the family's contempt and Theodore's cold indifference, clinging to the hope that his loyalty will one day be rewarded.

But when Theodore dies, the will delivers a brutal blow: Kael inherits nothing.

Or so it seems.

However, His grandfather had left him something else.

A portal through which he could travel to another world—Kael can trade between worlds, amassing power beyond imagination.

THE DIMENSIONAL MERCHANT

Then—a roar.

It wasn't a sound so much as a force, a guttural, inhuman noise that rolled through the trees and slammed into them like a shockwave.

From the edge of the shadows, it emerged.

A shape that had once resembled a wolf—if wolves were starved, stretched, and twisted by nightmares. Its spine jutted out like jagged ridges of obsidian, each vertebra stark beneath patches of thin, mangy fur the color of rot. Muscle wrapped around its emaciated frame like cables strung too tight. Its face—

A skull. A literal, sun-bleached canine skull. No flesh. No lips. Just grinning, predatory bone. Its eyes burned—two green flames flickering in empty sockets.

Its limbs were wrong. Too long, too thin. Its paws ended not in claws but in crescent-shaped scythes of bone and iron, each one glinting wickedly in the firelight.

Darien's jaw tightened as his hand found the hilt of his sword. "Damn. This one had to show up."
