Chapter: Chapter 474Alex was stunned for a moment. He couldn’t believe this woman still had the nerve to taunt him.He nodded slowly. “Of course. Of course.”Alrun turned with a triumphant smile, certain that her taunt had finally shut him up. In her mind, Alex was still the same pathetic dog from Rosenheim—loud when he barked, but crawling back the moment she snapped.“Mr. Ernest,” Alex said suddenly. “Did you know Miss Alrun here is my friend?”Ernest blinked, caught off guard. “Miss Alrun… you’re Mr. Saint-Claire’s friend?”“Yes! Yes!” Alrun blurted, almost tripping over her own words. “Alex and I were great friends for three years!”That was all Ernest needed to hear.“Well then… starting today,” he declared without a second of hesitation, “you will take over as the General Manager of the entire Imperial Amber Houses.”It was a massive jump—four tiers in a single breath. A general manager’s salary, benefits, and authority were on an entirely different level. They controlled staff across multiple bran

Chapter: Chapter 473The guards started toward Alex, but he didn’t flinch. His expression stayed cold.“Alrun Treuburg,” Alex said, steady and firm, “I’ve never insulted you. I’ve never provoked you. So why do you keep mocking me?”Alrun folded her arms across her chest, chin tilted high. Her tone dripped with contempt.“You divorced Katarina—my friend—and married Sofina Scheinwald. Of course I despise you. So what?” She leaned in slightly. “Can’t handle a little dislike, you pathetic loser? And now you dare come here asking for my help? Who do you think you are?”Her sneer sharpened.“I heard the Wolfsbane family finally acknowledged you. I heard you’re walking around claiming your ancestors’ properties. Hate to break it to you, but this restaurant never belonged to the Saint-Claires. You walked into the wrong place.”Then her voice snapped like a whip. “Guards. Hit him and send him to the Rosenhiem family.”The human guards moved forward with menace—though Alex knew he could drop them all in seconds if

Chapter: Chapter 472Alex Saint-Claire stared at Baron Rainer with a cold, hollow expression.“When the Saint-Claire’s family was ambushed that night,” Alex said quietly, “the nobles came at us like wolves. They tore through everyone. My entire family died… except my father. Everything we owned was stolen, taken by whoever arrived fastest in the chaos.”“But the law is clear. No matter who looted what, every business tied to the Saint-Claire line still belongs to the Saint-Claire blood. If the family has no heir, only then can the name change—and even that takes a hundred years.”Alex stepped closer, “So yes, Baron Rainer—you’ve been allowed to use it. But that ends today.”“I, Alexander Saint-Claire, rightful heir, reclaim this property now. The Royal Prussia Fine Jewels belongs to the Marquis Saint-Claire. It always has.”A sudden pulse of blue light flickered from Alex’s bracelet. A three-dimensional document unfolded in midair, and the same holographic file materialized in front of Baron Rainer. The

Chapter: Chapter 471Two android guards glided toward Alex.“Sir, you are requested to leave the store,” one said in its calm synthetic voice.Alex turned slowly. “And what exactly is my mistake? I asked to check the ring before buying it. Is it wrong to make sure what I’m buying is real?”The android paused, processing his words. Its eyes blinked once in rapid sequence. “Apologies, sir. There has been an error on our side. Please continue with your purchase.”The guards stepped back to their post.Alex glanced at Dorothea and smiled faintly. “Well, seems like even your guards agree with me.”Dorothea’s face flushed red with anger. “Guards! Drag this man out of my store!”The androids turned again, but one of them hesitated.“Supervisor Dorothea,” it said, “after reviewing the interaction, I find this man to be a polite and respectable customer. Please allow him to examine the ring. I believe this kind and handsome gentleman intends to make a purchase.”Dorothea’s voice cracked with fury. “You stupid mach

Chapter: Chapter 470At dawn, Sofina rose before the sun and dressed in a rush. Today was her first official day as deputy.Her nerves buzzed like fire in her chest as she wanted to go meet the village leaders and the merchants under Baroness Wolfsbane’s command.The Wolfsbanes might not be wealthy, but they owned a small mining town—one that didn’t cover much land, yet its veins ran deep with rare ore, valuable enough to keep the Baroness’s domain alive.If Eden’s group agreed to buy directly from them, the price of their ore would soar. It could change everything—new tools, new homes, better lives.Sofina prayed she could make it happen.Meanwhile, as Alex buttoned his worn jacket, he looked at Sofina with a crooked grin.“Dear,” he said softly, “since we got married, I’ve never given you any jewelry.”Sofina froze, eyes wide in surprise. “You don’t need to give me anything,” she said, smiling faintly. “Having you beside me already makes my life wonderful.”Alex chuckled, brushing a bit of dust off his

Chapter: Chapter 469“I chose…” Baroness Wolfsbane faltered, then drew a hard, rattling breath.Her mind spun, laying out outcomes like cards on a table. She counted them, then made her call.“Listen to me, you bastard—Rosenheim!” she snapped, the name cracking across the room like a rifle shot.“You ought to know,” she said, eyes aflame, “when I was young there was only one Saint-Claire—Marquis Saint-Claire. No Rosenheim. Only a poor servant with the name Rosenheim.” Her words struck the air like a war drum.“My granddaughter Sofina is married to Alexander Saint-Claire. He is the rightful heir of the Marquis Saint-Claire. You—Rosenheim, ungrateful servant and thief—how dare you lift a hand and make me your enemy? Do you think I fear you? You are nothing but a thief.”Silence fell. Even Alex’s breath caught. As he watched the woman who had hated him to the bone turn, in an instant, into his fiercest ally.Katarina’s face went hard. Fury stole color into her cheek.“Want to die, old woman? You reek of eart

Return of Overthinker
When the demon finally harnessed human sins and negative emotions to harvest negative energy, it opened a spatial gate to the planets that were already ravaged by monsters and teeming with dark creatures. The beasts and monsters passed through the gate, unleashing havoc upon Earth. These monstrous creatures caused destruction on a massive scale, pushing the earth toward an apocalyptic catastrophe.
In this dark time, The Creator granted certain humans the ability, marked by symbols on their right hands, to wield the power of gods and angels to combat these dark creatures.
My ability was 'Overthinking,' the weakest, but with hard work, I persisted for 60 years to become the most powerful and the savior of the world. However, in my final moments, I was betrayed by a friend who was born rich and noble, who forced me to die to obtain everything I had worked so hard for. Nevertheless, before my demise, I sent my memories back to my younger years.
This time, I will obtain everything: the best items, the finest women, and the most potent abilities. All will be mine!

Chapter: Chapter 204I was a bit surprised. "Isn't down there a place where the dead rest, and there is nothing but cold and barren land?" "At first, it was a place full of beauty, but those who did not like it destroyed everything in it, making it cold and barren. I hope you can help those suffering down there find kindness and peace. In truth, you can build a place far more beautiful than the palace of the gods because hell was initially a very beautiful place for those in need." "I accept it wherever You send me." *** In a temple where knowledge was usually shared, several humans who were teachers of various schools gathered to discuss important matters about knowledge. "Hey," said one human to another, "Why did the gods stop sharing their knowledge with us?" "Haven't you heard that the King of the gods, or God Indra, has been replaced?" "Really?" "God Indra is now angry after finding out that knowledge was given to humans by the previous Indra," said another human. "He stopped all knowledge fro

Chapter: Chapter 203After 1,000 years had passed, the three worlds experienced their golden age. There was no poverty or hunger throughout the three worlds. Everything was going very well. All dimensions entered a golden age because kindness became the most important thing in the three realms. Humans, gods, ashuras, and all beings were directed to continue giving kindness to all creatures. During my reign, everyone competed to do good so that there was no poverty, hunger, or lack. During that time, those who came to me, whether gods, ashuras, or humans, would get what they asked for. I did this as my way of doing good to all beings.One day, a dwarf-bodied brahmin came to my palace. The brahmin, called Vamana, had a body that was only waist-high to an ordinary human. He wore white clothes that wrapped loosely around his small body. However, considering that he was a human and came from the third dimension, being able to ascend to the twelfth dimension where the gods' palace was located was alr

Chapter: Chapter 202"I don't remember that part," I said. "Because each life makes you forget. I just want to say, if you give the gods' knowledge to humans, won't the gods lose their power? Haven't you humiliated them all? Your strength has made you not understand the feelings of the weaker gods." "Guru, if what you say is true, is my current strength because I was a strong spirit in the past?" He looked at me and weakly shook his head. "No, all spirits start from the same place." "Then why did I become strong?" "You had no fear, and your enjoyment of playing made you keep striving for something greater without caring for your own life." Brihaspati continued, "However, what placed you as King Indra is something else." "What is that?" "A sense of responsibility to protect the weak and make life better for all beings." Brihaspati sighed. "Those who have that sincerity will always be carried by karma and the will of God to re

Chapter: Chapter 201"Boss, you've become weak," said Raindo, one of the Ashura generals, approaching me. He looked enormous compared to my now smaller form. "You keep spending time in that school and library. You never fight anymore. You're going to become weak, and the previous Indra will soon return to reclaim his throne." "You just don't understand, my brother," I said, still reading a book. "Right now, I am ten times stronger than I was before." "I don't believe it," said Raindo, one of the strongest generals. "Let's test it." "Of course," I said, seemingly unconcerned. "Get ready." "I'm always ready," he replied. As soon as he said that, a bolt of lightning shot down from the sky, striking his body. He was thrown far, crashing into the palace walls and severely injured. "What happened?" he asked, looking confused and trying to stand up. He didn't know what had hit him. "I just attacked you. I gained the power

Chapter: Chapter 200“Oh,” I shouted. “That's easy.” Suddenly, I felt very smart. “I have plenty of wealth in the treasury.” Quickly, I ordered several Ashura to bring as much treasure as possible from Indra's vault and distribute it to all the Ashura. All the Ashura were happy. “Look, Guru, haven't I done a good deed? I shared my wealth with them.” I felt pleased. “Fool!” he shouted. “You haven't done a good deed at all. You should have given the wealth to those in need.” I fell silent. Quickly, I ordered all the Ashura to return the treasures they had received. The Ashura didn't need wealth; if there was one thing they needed, it was weapons. They all grumbled, and I quickly asked, “Do you want food and drink or wealth?” “Food!!!!” “Drink!!” None wanted wealth. Suddenly, it dawned on me. Who needs wealth? The Ashura don't need wealth, the gods already have plenty of wealth. The only poor creatures needing wealth are humans

Chapter: Chapter 199“Prepare all the food and drinks. All the gods must order their servants to bring all the food from their palaces. Call the apsaras, the heavenly maidens, and beautiful dancers. Call the singers and musicians. We will have a party.” So, a grand feast was held for days in the courtyard of Indra's palace. Music, dancing, and food never stopped. After that, the Ashura were left drunk in the palace courtyard. The gods had returned to their respective duties. I moved around to see the entire palace, and suddenly, an old man appeared before me. “What have you done to this place?” the old man asked, looking at the palace's new weapon-laden decor. “Who are you?” I asked, confused. This old man wore the simple clothes of a Brahmana, a single piece of cloth. The Brahmana do not fight, so we never touch them. If they get angry, we could get the worst curses of our lives. But if they are pleased, they could grant us many new and exciting powers. We prefer to appease them and wait for the
