INTRODUCTION
GLIMPSE OF WHAT'S INSIDE.
Power doesn’t knock. It walks in and sits wherever it wants. Ryokan never had to chase it. It followed him. CEO. Untouchable. The kind of man people don’t question twice. From the outside, he’s control itself. Inside, something’s off. He doesn’t flinch at things he should. Doesn’t hesitate. Doesn’t doubt. And lately, he doesn’t sleep without seeing things that don’t belong to this life. Fire. Blood. A name being called like it owns him. It’s starting to get annoying, because whatever that thing is, it’s not a dream. It’s him. A dragon in a suit. Ruthless. Immortal. A creature that once knew how to love… and somehow forgot why. And the second he stops holding it back, this city won’t be dealing with a CEO anymore. It’ll be dealing with a dragon
Ryokan tries. More than anyone would ever guess. Beneath the power, the control, the empire he built with his own hands, there’s something rare… something painfully human. A soul that was never meant for the chaos it was born into. A life tangled in bloodlines, underground deals, and a legacy that should have never reached him.
He wasn’t supposed to awaken.
Not like this. Not ever.
But he did.
And maybe… there’s a reason for it.
Because the moment things begin to shift, people start entering his life like they’ve always been part of it. Strangers who know too much. Faces that feel familiar for reasons he can’t explain. Each one pulling him deeper into a truth he was never meant to uncover.
And with every step forward, his world becomes more dangerous… more chaotic… more painful.
The question isn’t whether Ryokan will survive it.
It’s what he’ll become by the end of it.
