Heaven Defying System
Zevian Rook had three things going for him: a scholarship to an elite university, $173 in his bank account, and absolutely no ambition to impress anyone.
Then a System appeared.
[Daily Check-In System successfully activated.]
"Cliche."
[...]
"Can I fly?"
[No.]
"Heat vision?"
[No.]
"Then what's the point?"
Apparently offended by its own uselessness, the System forcibly upgraded itself.
[HEAVEN DEFYING SYSTEM activated!]
Its first legendary reward?
A nut.
Zevian ate it.
He probably should have read the description first.
The next morning, his glasses stopped working, his body looked like it had been sculpted by an overenthusiastic god, and his supposedly ordinary university life went straight to hell.
Rich heirs want to humiliate him.
Campus beauties keep approaching him.
A gorgeous senior secretly has thirty days to make him fall in love and break his heart.
Unfortunately for her, Zevian is more interested in the free meals.
And while everyone mistakes his indifference for cowardice, nobody realizes that beneath Zevian's easygoing smile is a man who simply doesn't care about money, status, reputation... or giving arrogant people the reaction they want.
Cars? Nice.
Mansions? Convenient.
Beautiful women? He has eyes.
Insult him? Go ahead.
Touch someone he cares about?
That's when Zevian stops smiling.
From a broke scholarship student to a despised son-in-law, from a supposedly useless orphan to the hidden heir of a terrifying family, Zevian will slowly discover that wealth is only the surface of his world.
Beyond it lies martial arts, hidden powers, forgotten bloodlines...
and the truth behind a System arrogant enough to call itself Heaven Defying.
Zevian only has one question.
"Can I fly yet?"
[NO!]

Chapter: Chapter 20: So That's Zevian RookThe next morning, Seraphina walked into the dining room and immediately became suspicious.Her younger sister was smiling."Morning."Seraphina stopped."What?"Lyra Sinclair blinked innocently."What do you mean?""Why are you smiling?""I'm happy.""Stop."Lyra's smile widened.At eighteen, Lyra was three years younger than Seraphina and almost her complete opposite. Where Seraphina was usually cold and composed, Lyra possessed enough curiosity for both of them.Especially when something interesting appeared."So..."Lyra took a sip of juice."Zevian Rook."Seraphina's fork stopped."How do you know his name?""You said it.""When?""Yesterday.""I did not."Lyra lowered her voice dramatically."'Zevian!'"Seraphina stared."You were throwing a pillow.""..."Lyra grinned."Is he your boyfriend?""No.""Do you like him?""No.""Does he like you?"Seraphina went silent.Lyra slowly winced."Ouch.""Eat your breakfast.""So he doesn't?""Lyra.""I want to meet him.""No.""Why?""Beca

Chapter: Chapter 19: My TreatSeraphina Sinclair had a problem."This one?""No."She looked at herself in the mirror.Too formal.She changed.Ten minutes later, she stood before the mirror again."This one?"Maybe.She turned slightly.No.Too obvious.Another change.A voice suddenly came from the doorway."Are you going somewhere important?"Seraphina froze.A younger girl stood there, leaning against the doorframe with her arms crossed.She had similar dark hair and delicate features, though the mischievous amusement in her eyes was completely different from Seraphina's usual cold elegance.Seraphina frowned."Don't you knock?""The door was open.""Get out."Her younger sister didn't move.Instead, she looked toward the discarded clothes on the bed.One outfit.Two.Three.Her eyebrows slowly rose."Is this a date?""No."The answer came too quickly.Interesting."Then why have you changed three times?""I haven't."Her sister pointed."Evidence."Seraphina looked at the clothes."...I couldn't decide what t

Chapter: Chapter 18: Who's Jealous?"This is better than short reels."Miles muttered under his breath."What is?"Elara looked at him."Nothing."Miles immediately lowered his head and continued eating.He valued his life.Across the cafeteria, Seraphina was still pretending to listen to Leon Mercer.Pretending being the important word.Leon was handsome, wealthy, well-dressed, and came from a respectable family in Veycrest.Normally, he had no trouble holding a woman's attention.Unfortunately, Seraphina's attention was currently sitting three tables away.With Zevian.And Elara."So I told my father we should stay another week, but..."Leon continued speaking.Seraphina nodded occasionally.Her eyes wandered again.Elara was laughing.Zevian said something.Elara kicked him beneath the table.Zevian stole something from her plate.Seraphina's fingers tightened around her fork.'Why is she letting him do that?'She paused.'Why do I care?'This was strategy.She was supposed to make Zevian jealous.That was all.Serap

Chapter: Chapter 17: Basic?Sunday morning.After spending the night at Willowbrook Children's Home, Zevian finally began his trip back to Auremont University.He could have returned Saturday evening, but Aunt Martha had refused to let him leave.According to her, visiting after several weeks and disappearing before breakfast was "ungrateful behavior."The children had agreed.Very loudly.So Zevian had slept in one of Willowbrook's spare rooms, eaten breakfast with everyone the following morning, and only escaped after promising to visit again soon.Now, he leisurely rode his electric bicycle through the familiar streets of Veycrest.The morning air was cool, traffic was light, and Auremont wasn't particularly far.Zevian wasn't in a hurry.His phone vibrated.A message from Martha.[The Foundation called again. They're sending representatives next week.]Zevian smiled.[Good.][And thank you for fixing the faucet.][That was harder than fixing the fence.][Come more often and you'll get plenty of practice.]Ze

Chapter: Chapter 16: Willowbrook"You're taking the bicycle?"Miles stood at the dormitory entrance, staring at Zevian."Yeah.""You own a motorcycle.""We've discussed this.""A thirty-five-thousand-dollar motorcycle.""Willowbrook isn't far."Miles pointed at the Voltis E3."And where did you even get this thing?""Scholarship benefit.""What kind of scholarship gives out electric bicycles?"Zevian pulled out his phone and showed him an email.Aster Educational Foundation - Student Mobility Assistance ProgramThe program provided selected scholarship students with transportation support depending on individual circumstances. Benefits ranged from public transportation allowances to bicycles and electric bicycles.Zevian had apparently qualified.Miles read everything twice."Why does being smart keep giving you free stuff?""Academic excellence."Miles handed the phone back."I hate smart people.""Study harder.""I hate you too."Zevian grinned and rode away.The explanation was convenient because it was also compl

Chapter: Chapter 15: 10 DaysSeraphina walked around the electric bicycle once.Then twice.She looked at Zevian."You won a thirty-five-thousand-dollar motorcycle yesterday.""Yes.""And you're riding this?""Yes.""Why?""Free."Seraphina stared at him."The motorcycle was also free."Zevian paused.He looked at the bicycle.Then toward the parking area where his Valkyr V9R sat."...Good point.""THANK YOU!"Miles raised both hands toward the sky."I've been telling him that!"Zevian shrugged."This is more convenient."Seraphina finally couldn't hold it anymore.She laughed.Not the elegant little laugh she normally showed people, but a genuine laugh that made several nearby students stare.Zevian frowned."It's a good bike."That only made her laugh harder.Her phone suddenly vibrated.Seraphina took it out.Love Box[DAY TEN.][Last chance, Sinclair.][Midnight and your nerd officially breaks the record.]Her smile slowly faded.Day Ten.She had forgotten.For several minutes, while laughing with Zevian, Ser

The Enigmatic Son-in-law
Maximus Crownguard hails from an unknown origin shrouded in mystery, known to be of humble beginnings as the son-in-law of a second-rate family.
"Ma, where is Alexa?" he asked as he walked into the living room.
The woman glared at Max and replied sharply, "Where else do you think my daughter would go other than work?"
------
Feeling a strange sense of foreboding, he nervously opened the message, but all it said was, "[Help]."
He looked at his mother-in-law and coldly said, "Ma, where is Alexa?" as he exuded a deadly aura.
The old woman didn't know why she felt a sense of danger when she saw the cold look in Maximus' eyes, so she blurted out without realizing, "She's at Chable Star Entertainment, she signed a contract with Mr. Chen."
------
"Who are you?!" Mr. Chen screamed in fear. The man turned and walked slowly towards Mr. Chen, saying, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is I will end your evil deeds."
Mr. Chen's eyes widened as he saw the man's cold face and felt as if he was facing the God of Death. Suddenly, he felt excruciating pain in his right hand, realizing the man had crushed it.
------
"No problem, Mr. Crownguard. But which company are you planning to acquire?" the man inquired again.
With a joyous smile, Max replied smoothly, "I want to acquire Chable Star Entertainment."

Chapter: Grand WeddingInside the luxurious fitting room, Max stood in front of a full-length mirror, adjusting the collar of his crisp white tuxedo. The fabric was impeccable, tailored perfectly to his frame, exuding elegance and authority. Today was the day—his wedding day.Leon, leaning casually against the wall with his hands in his pockets, watched with an amused expression. "I never thought I'd see the day, Max. The great Maximus Crownguard, nervous about a wedding."Max smirked as he attempted to fix his tie. "Who said I'm nervous?"Leon scoffed, stepping forward. "You've been fixing that tie for five minutes, and it still looks like a rookie mistake. Here, let me." He swatted Max's hands away and took over.Max chuckled. "I swear, if I didn't know better, I'd say you're enjoying this way too much."Leon smirked. "Of course, I am. It's not every day I see you in a situation where you actually need help."Max shook his head with a small laugh. "It's just a tie, Leon.""Uh-huh," Leon said, tightening t

Chapter: ProposalAs admiration filled the room, a sudden outburst shattered the moment."Impossible!" Bubbles screamed, standing abruptly. She pointed a trembling finger at Max. "You? You're really the Chairman?"Max simply smiled and shrugged.Bubbles collapsed into her seat, her mind unable to process the truth. "It's over…" she muttered under her breath, completely shaken.Daniel and Eugine wore identical horrified expressions. The realization hit them like a freight train—they had offended Max, and everyone had seen it. Of all the people they could have belittled, why did it have to be him? Of all the people in this grand event, why was he the Chairman? A man they had underestimated, a man whose background they never even considered. No wonder… His unwavering confidence now made perfect sense.Alfred smirked and spoke up, his voice laced with amusement. "Now do you understand why Alexa once said that Max himself is his own backup?"At that moment, everything clicked for them. The memories, the sub

Chapter: The Man BehindWhispers spread like wildfire across the ballroom. Some guests exchanged incredulous glances, questioning whether the man standing before them was truly the mysterious chairman. Others furrowed their brows, murmuring about how secretive this supposed leader had been until now.Then, breaking the tension, a man approached the standing figure, offering a polite smile. "Chairman, it's an honor to finally meet you," he said, introducing himself as a representative from a prominent tech company. With a respectful bow, he extended his business card.Before the crowd could react further, another guest boldly voiced the question on everyone's mind. "Are you really the mysterious chairman?"The man scratched the back of his head, looking slightly embarrassed. "Huh? Me?" He let out a small, awkward chuckle. "No, no. I just work here. I was fixing some wires at the hotel earlier, but when the lights suddenly went out, I sat here for a bit. Now that the event's started, I should be heading out—my

Chapter: The Mysterious Chairman With no other choice, Bubbles and her group reluctantly returned to their seats. They knew better than to cause a scene now that the event was about to begin. Before turning away, Bubbles shot Max a sharp glare, pointing a finger at him. "This isn't over until you apologize," she huffed, stomping back to her seat with a pout. Eugine and Daniel followed her, their expressions mixed with irritation and curiosity.As the crowd settled down, a distinguished-looking man confidently walked onto the stage. He was tall, well-groomed, and carried himself with the poise of a seasoned professional. Dressed in an impeccably tailored suit, his presence commanded attention. His name was Theodore Wright, a renowned host in high-profile elite gatherings.With a charming yet authoritative smile, he took center stage and spoke into the microphone."Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests from the most distinguished families and business empires, welcome to this grand evening."

Chapter: Pretended to be PoorAlexa smiled calmly before speaking. "How could Max have done it on purpose when we were in the middle of a conversation?" She then turned to Bubbles, her gaze sharp but amused. "Are you saying my husband has eyes on the back of his head?"Bubbles fell silent for a moment, caught off guard, but quickly regained her composure. "He still did it on purpose!" she insisted. "Max knew Daniel was passing by and deliberately stretched to spill the wine!"Then, with a sneer, she added, "Ms. Alexa, you don't belong with someone like Max. Your beauty and status don't match with a piece of trash like him."At that moment, Eugine stood from his seat and walked toward the scene, his voice dripping with arrogance. "Bubbles is right, Ms. Alexa." He straightened his expensive designer suit, making sure everyone was watching him. "A woman of your caliber—someone with an outstanding background, grace, and influence—should not be with someone like Max, a man with no real lineage or worth."Alexa's lips c

Chapter: Talent ShowDaniel smirked, swirling the red wine in his glass as he walked toward Max's group. His movements were slow, deliberate—his eyes casually scanning left and right, as if he owned the place.At the table, Eugine's grin widened in anticipation, while Bubbles, barely containing her excitement, let out a small chuckle."Someone's about to get drenched in wine," she whispered.Alfred, on the other hand, sighed, keeping his gaze fixed on Daniel. Something felt off.As Daniel finally reached Max's back, his smirk deepened. He raised the glass, prepared to tip the wine over Max's head—PAK!Max casually scratched his head, his elbow knocking Daniel's arm at just the right moment. The glass slipped, and the entire drink spilled onto Daniel's own suit."Agh! My designer suit!" Daniel shouted in shock.At the table, Bubbles gasped, covering her mouth in disbelief. Eugine's smirk froze, while Alfred simply remained expressionless.All eyes turned toward the commotion. Max slowly turned around, bli
