OMG! The "butcher" Son Is the Family Savior!

When I was five, I saw blood for the first time. It wasn’t mine. It was my father’s. He lay sprawled before the butcher block, his apron soaked in crimson, a cleaver still clutched in his hand. The elders said he “brought shame upon the family” — all because he refused to offer me as a sacrifice to the ancestral hall. So they killed him. Like slaughtering a pig. My mother knelt in the snow, clutching me, begging them to leave his body whole. No one listened. From that day on, I became the "butcher's son." Despised by all. Even dogs barked at me. Ten years later, flames roared over the same ancestral courtyard. They had my mother bound to a pillar, forcing her to watch as the last of the Lin bloodline was about to be wiped out. "Your son?" The leader sneered, blade lifting her collar. "Just another pig-killer’s brat. Today, I’ll show you what it means to be—erased." I stepped from the shadows, crushed his knee beneath my boot. Blades flashed. Heads fell. One. Two. Three… Blood trickled down my temple into my eyes, stinging. I didn’t wipe it away. My mother wept, trembling fingers reaching toward my face. I stepped back slightly, whispering, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.” But I knew — the real killing game had only just begun. Last night, I broke into the cellar beneath the ancestral hall. Seven bodies floated in jars of murky liquid — all the clan members who’d “disappeared” over the years. And carved into the wall, a single line: **“True dragon blood — belongs to me alone.”** They weren’t afraid of me. They were terrified I was still alive. Because the thing my father killed that day… was never human. It was a demon wearing skin. And the blood running through my veins? That’s the true power meant to protect this clan. Now, it’s my turn. I walk deeper into the hall, blade in hand, fire devouring everything behind me. My phone screen flickers to life. Top trending headline: **#ButcherSonMassacresAncestralHall#** Comments exploding: “Serves them right! Those monsters deserved it!” I smirk, delete the notification. Open a voice recording — my mother’s final murmur before she passed out: “Xuan… run… the poison they gave you… it’s waking up…” I look down at the back of my hand. The veins are turning black. Twelve hours left. Plenty of time. This strike isn’t for redemption. Not for glory. It’s to let the world know — **Some children aren’t born to be trampled.** **They’re born to collect debts. In blood.** Aiden Storm comes down from the mountain to find his birth parents. He saves Zara from an attack, drawn into a feud. In Mira, he finds a connection, but his father Damon calls him worthless. When his new family is threatened, he must unleash his power. How far will he go to protect them?
