They call him Ghost.
A name whispered in fear across warzones, black markets, and underworld circles.
To the world, he's a phantom—a faceless mercenary who leaves no trace but bodies in his wake.
To his enemies, he’s a death sentence.
To his brothers-in-arms in Graveyard, he’s family.

But to himself... he's a haunted man searching for a past stolen in gunfire and smoke.

After a flawless mission deep in the Eastern Province, Ghost returns to the hidden forest base he's called home for sixteen years. Yet the victory is short-lived. His foster father, the commander delivers an unexpected order:

"That was your last mission."

Now, Ghost—real name Miles Sterling—must step out of the shadows of war and into a world he’s never known. Guided only by a scarred letter, a fading memory, and the voice of a woman he hasn’t seen since the day everything was taken from him.

But war forged more than his body and name.

Behind the mask, behind the scars, Miles has another secret.
One he’s kept hidden even from his brothers in arms.
He’s not just a weapon.
He’s a ghost with a fortune—a hidden empire he built in silence, across borders and black markets, forged in strategy and blood.
A man of many names, and many shadows.

Beneath the bullets, tattoos, and silence lies a truth buried in ashes.
And Ghost is about to dig it up—one letter, one enemy, one memory at a time.

The Retired Young Mercenary Is Secretly a Billionaire

Miles sat at his desk, the room dim except for the warm glow of his table lamp. Outside, the sounds of the neighborhood were distant—peaceful. The envelope lay open before him, the letter inside carrying the weight of silence and time.

He took a deep breath and began to read.

Dear Grandchild Miles,

If you are reading this, it means you are an adult now, and I have still not returned.

My sudden disappearance may have brought confusion or even pain to the family, but I had no choice. Staying would've caused more trouble—not just for me, but for Edward, Elena, and especially for you.

There are things you were never told. Things your father, I'm sure, kept hidden to protect you.

To understand my decision, you must first understand the truth about our family.

The Sterling family is not what it seems.

Royal??
