Manipulators || BIGBANG FanFic

*Book 1 of Manipulators*

"What if I don't to? What are you going do to about it?"

For years, Kwon Jiyong has lived a quiet life in Haneulridge, a simple town. But everything changes when he learns that his father-a god who once ruled over an ancient realm-has died. Now, the burden of the throne falls upon him. Jiyong wants nothing to do with the realm of gods or the destiny forced upon him. But as whispers of his father's death spread, enemies from forgotten corners of the world begin to emerge.

Jiyong's closest friends-Seunghyun, a time-bending warrior; Youngbae, an earth-shaping warrior with an unbreakable will; and Daesung, a man who can manipulate fear itself-stand with him. But each has their own struggles.

Seunghyun's past is a heavy weight he cannot escape. His parents, caught in a brutal conflict with a band of shape-shifters, were slaughtered in a surprise attack. The trauma of his loss and the guilt of not being able to save them gnaws at him every day. Seunghyun is determined to hunt down the shape-shifters responsible and bring vengeance to his family.

Jiyong must decide: will he reject the throne, or will he rise and embrace the power within him-before it's too late?

Will Seunghyun's thirst for vengeance lead to his redemption-or will it consume him entirely?
