The Reborn Young Master Is No Longer a Simp
System
10
Noah Bennett was born to inherit Bennett Global Group, a powerful multi-billion-dollar empire built by his father from nothing.
But in his first life, Noah wasted everything.
Blinded by love and arrogance, he ignored his father’s warnings, pushed away the people who truly cared for him, and let others use his name, wealth, and influence to tear his family apart. By the time he realized the truth, Bennett Global had collapsed, his father was dead, his body was broken, and his name had become a joke to the world.
As Noah lay dying, a mysterious system awakened.
[Final rating: Pathetic.]
Then he opened his eyes in the past.
This time, Noah refuses to repeat the same mistakes. He will not kneel for false love. He will not ignore his father. He will not inherit an empire he does not deserve.
Starting from the lowest level inside Bennett Global, Noah begins fighting to protect the company before its first major collapse point: the Westbridge Development Contract. But the deeper he digs, the clearer it becomes that his downfall was never caused by one woman alone.
Someone has been moving in the shadows.
Someone inside Bennett Global is opening doors for the enemy.
And the woman Noah once rejected, Astrid Montgomery, may be the only person who saw the truth before he did.
In his last life, Noah Bennett died as a foolish heir who lost everything.
In this life, he will earn his empire, expose every traitor, and make sure no one uses him twice.

Chapter: Chapter 50: The First Strike Back
They found the listening point in twelve minutes.Not a device under the table. Not a dramatic little black bug stuck behind a painting.Nothing that stupid.Harold traced the leak through the archive room’s temporary conference system. Someone had accessed the room audio through a maintenance credential that should have expired six months ago.Diane’s face went cold when she saw it.“That credential belongs to a dead contractor.”Harold grunted.“Useful dead man.”Noah stood behind them, silent.Astrid was beside the door, watching the hallway like she expected Adrian Vale to walk in smiling.The thought was not unreasonable.That was what made it worse.Diane killed the conference system and ordered a full sweep, but Noah stopped Harold before he wiped the access trail.“No.”Harold looked at him.“No?”“Leave the door cracked.”Astrid turned.“Noah.”He glanced at her.“I know.”“You absolutely do not.”That almost made him smile.Almost.He looked back at Harold.“If he is watchin

Chapter: Chapter 49: The Face In The Photograph
Harold looked pleased with himself, which was never a good sign.He had taken over a small archive room at Bennett Global and covered the table with old event printouts, donor lists, cropped photos, and one enlarged image in the center.Diane stood beside him, arms folded.Astrid entered with Noah.Diane’s eyes moved to their faces.She noticed something.Of course she did.She did not comment.Good woman.Harold tapped the enlarged image.“Bennett investor dinner. Seven years ago. Better angle.”Noah stepped closer.Richard stood in the photo, younger, speaking to two men near a private dining room entrance. Victor was visible at the edge, not central, not hidden. Elena’s mother appeared in the background.And there.The silver-watch man.Face visible.Older. Clean-shaven. Dark hair threaded with gray. Handsome in a cold, forgettable way. The kind of face that did not demand memory because it expected access to do the work.Noah stared.Nothing.No recognition.Not enough.Then Astri

Chapter: Chapter 48: The Night Astrid Comes Back
Astrid came to Noah that night because anger was exhausting and staying away had started to feel like losing to people who wanted distance between them. She found him on the rooftop terrace of Bennett Global, jacket off, sleeves rolled, city lights spread beyond the glass railing. He turned when the door opened. For once, he did not look surprised. That irritated her. “You expected me?” “No.” “You look like you did.” “I hoped.” Astrid stopped. That was the problem with Noah lately. He said things too plainly at the worst possible times and then looked at her like he knew he had made it harder. She walked to the railing, leaving a careful space between them. “I’m still angry.” “I know.” She closed her eyes briefly. “You keep saying that.” “Because arguing with you when you’re right feels suicidal.” Her mouth twitched before she could stop it. Annoying man. “Do not make me laugh when I am trying to be difficult.” “You are succeeding.” “Good.” T

Chapter: Chapter 47: Elena’s Second Attempt
Elena came dressed as damage this time.No bare shoulders. No old bracelet. No perfume meant to drag Noah backward by the throat.This was different.Simple dress. Pale face. Hair tied back. Eyes tired enough to make strangers soften.Pity was just another kind of seduction.Noah saw it the moment she stepped into the Montgomery Foundation lobby.Astrid saw it too.That was the point.Elena did not come close at first. She stood near the entrance like someone deciding whether she had the right to remain. Two staff members looked uncertain. One recognized her from the gala gossip and immediately looked interested.Noah stood from the waiting area.Astrid was beside the reception desk speaking with Vivian. When she saw Elena, her face went cold.Noah looked at Astrid first.That mattered.Elena noticed.Her mouth tightened before she softened it.Noah walked toward Elena, stopping several feet away.“You should not be here.”“I know.”“Then leave.”Her eyes shone.“I’m scared.”Noah sai

Chapter: Chapter 46: Silver Watch
Harold found the guest code at 11:43.He sent Noah one file and then called before Noah could open it.“Do not react where people can see you.”Noah looked up from his desk.That was never a good start.He walked into an empty stairwell and opened the file.Bennett Board Reception — Guest Access Notes.Most names were visible. Investors. Senior advisors. Legal counsel. Patron guests.One entry had no name.Guest H-17. Private advisory access. Cleared through chairman’s office.Noah stared at it.“Chairman’s office?”Harold’s voice came through the phone.“Nine years ago. Your father’s office. Or someone with access to it.”Noah’s jaw tightened.“H-17 appears anywhere else?”“Yes. Hart charity dinner. Greenwell Youth Fund restructure. Greybridge donor summit. Closed Westbridge pre-bid consultation.”The stairwell seemed colder.Westbridge.Of course.Everything came back to that damn contract.Noah said, “Who is H-17?”“Not in the files.”“How convenient.”“Very.”Noah leaned against t

Chapter: Chapter 45: Caleb Sees The Leash
Caleb had thought shame would feel hot.It didn’t.It felt cold.It sat behind his ribs and made every breath feel smaller. He walked into Bennett Global knowing people had heard enough. Not everything. Not officially. But enough.Private copy.Elena Hart.Altered file.His name was not in an email yet, which made it worse. Diane had not buried him. Noah had not buried him. Even that felt like humiliation now, because he could not tell if mercy was kindness or strategy.He reached his desk and found Elena’s message waiting.Are you okay?Caleb stared at it.Two days ago, that would have felt like relief.Now it felt timed.He scrolled up.Elena after Diane’s archive email. Elena after Noah’s senior briefing. Elena after the gala clip. Elena before he exported the file. Elena after the leak.Every message had come when he was most angry.Or most ashamed.Or both.His stomach tightened.How did she always know?He opened the chat search and typed Noah.Too many results.Then copy.One m

The Demon emperor logged into a Divine Game
Max entered Divine Epoch Online to save his sick mother from debt.
He died before the game launched.
When black-purple lightning struck his corpse, Ravan, a betrayed demonic emperor, took over his body.
With Max’s memories, debts, and lingering attachment binding him to this new life, Ravan enters Divine Epoch to earn money, rebuild his power, and settle every grudge left behind.
But the game’s divine class path rejects him and unlocks Blood Asura — a hidden class with no instructor, no blessing, and the power to create its own techniques.
From A-rank skills to world bosses, hidden dungeons, rare loot, real-money trades, and a sealed demon bound as his first spirit, Ravan turns the game into his new battlefield.
But the deeper he goes, the more he realizes Divine Epoch Online is not just a game.
Something ancient is waiting behind it.

Chapter: Chapter 30 – The Stampede (Part II)
The first Thunder Bull arrived like a bolt of lightning.Its massive horns tore through the air, carrying enough momentum to shatter a boulder.Hale stepped forward instead of retreating.With a roar, he swung his sword downward.Steel collided with horn.Clang!The violent impact sent Hale skidding several meters across the ground, leaving two long trenches beneath his boots.“…Damn!”The Thunder Bull merely lowered its head again.It hadn’t even stopped charging.“Lyra!”“I know!”A magic circle spread beneath the beast.Dozens of razor-sharp ice spikes erupted from the earth.The Thunder Bull’s charge falved as its legs were forced apart.“Seris!”Before Hale had even finished shouting, Seris appeared beside the monster.Her sword flashed.A crimson line appeared across the Thunder Bull’s neck.Blood sprayed.The beast staggered.Hale didn’t miss the opportunity.He lunged forward and buried his sword into its chest.The Thunder Bull collapsed with a pained cry.Almost immediately…

The body of a Thunder Wolf collapsed with a pained whimper before dissolving into countless motes of light.Ding!You have slain a Thunder Wolf.Experience Gained.A familiar warmth coursed through Ravan’s body.Another notification appeared.Ding!Level Up!He stopped walking.Hale glanced back.“What is it?”Without answering, Ravan opened his character window.A translucent blue screen unfolded before him.Character InformationName: RavanRace: HumanLevel: 13Primary Class: Blood AsuraSecondary Class: Spirit ArcanistThe corners of Ravan’s lips lifted ever so slightly.Three levels.Ever since entering the Astral Forest, the experience gained from the monsters had far exceeded anything outside the capital.Closing the interface, he resumed walking as if nothing had happened.Hale noticed the faint smile.“You leveled again?”Ravan nodded.“Amazing.”Hale laughed.“This forest is ridiculous.”“I’ve already gone up two levels.”“If we keep this pace, we’ll be monsters before reach

Chapter: Chapter 28 – Seris
The eastern gate of Valtheris bustled with activity.Caravans lined the road leading out of the capital, each waiting their turn to be inspected by the Royal Knights stationed at the gate. Merchants checked manifests while guards searched cargo for contraband before waving them through.Compared to entering the city…Leaving took considerably longer.“It looks like we’ll be here for a while.”Hale shifted the pack on his shoulder before glancing toward the line ahead.“I thought adventurers could just leave.”“They can.”Lyra folded the kingdom map before slipping it into her satchel.“But every caravan, merchant and traveler shares the same gate.”“So unless you plan on climbing the walls…”“We wait.”Hale sighed.“I suddenly miss the Beginner Village.”Ravan said nothing.His eyes wandered across the crowd.Merchants.Travelers.Mercenaries.Hunters returning with bloodstained weapons.Everything moved in an orderly rhythm.No shouting.No pushing.Every person simply waited for the

Chapter: Chapter 27: A City Unlike Any Other
The moment they stepped out of the Royal Palace, the noise of Valtheris greeted them once again.Merchants called out from every direction.Horse-drawn carriages rolled across the broad stone streets.Players hurried between districts while NPC guards maintained order without so much as sparing them a glance.Hale stretched his arms.“I don’t know about you two…”“…but I don’t want to see another important NPC today.”Lyra laughed softly.“I thought you enjoyed meeting them.”“I do.”“When they aren’t giving us quests that could get us killed.”Ravan continued walking.“So…”Hale hurried after him.“We’re not heading for the Astral Forest yet?”“No.”“We prepare first.”A grin spread across Hale’s face.“Finally.”“I was beginning to think you didn’t know what resting meant.”Lyra shook her head.“I think this is the first sensible decision you’ve made all day.”Hale placed a hand over his chest dramatically.“That hurts.”Ravan ignored them.Instead of heading toward the eastern gate

Chapter: Chapter 26 – The Royal Recommendation
“Come out, Velkris.”A crimson radiance bloomed before Ravan.The surrounding mana rippled.Before the light could fully take shape—Ding!Warning!Valtheris is protected by the Royal Barrier.Manifestation of battle entities, offensive abilities, or combat within the Capital is strictly prohibited.Violation will result in immediate intervention by the Royal Guard.The crimson radiance trembled.Ravan looked at the notification for a brief moment.“…Interesting.”He lifted a hand.“Return.”The light scattered into countless crimson motes before the sealed divine could emerge.Several passing guards glanced toward him.Seeing that nothing had manifested, they continued their patrol.Ravan opened his friend list.Hale.A message was sent.Ravan: I’ve arrived.The reply came almost immediately.Hale: Already inside the Capital?Ravan: Eastern District.Hale: Wait there.Hale: We’ll be there shortly.Closing the interface, Ravan quietly observed the flow of people.Valtheris dwarfed eve

Chapter: Chapter 25 — Leaving the Village
Welcome back to Divine Epoch.Darkness cleared.Ravan opened his eyes inside the beginner village.The square was louder than before. Players packed around the fountain, the noticeboard, and the market stalls. Some checked weapons. Some called for parties. Some shouted about the emergency update.Then the system rang through the sky.System Announcement: Divine Epoch Online emergency update has ended.System Announcement: Cross-server synchronization has been completed.System Announcement: Main city transfer function has been unlocked.System Announcement: The first player has reached Level 10.System Announcement: All players who reach Level 10 may receive a city transfer recommendation from their Beginner Village Head.The whole village reacted at once.“Level 10 already?”“Who?”“Why didn’t it show the name?”“Has to be the hidden dungeon player.”“Anonymous?”“Or Ravan.”“Aren’t they the same person?”“No one knows, idiot.”A warrior near the fountain checked his own level and cu
