Fake Death

After suffering to build himself from nothing, Damien Wicker trusted the wrong people. A wife who was unfaithful. A best friend who was secretly envious of everything he had. Together, they conspired to erase him from his own life and steal his empire. But sending him to ruin was not the end of the story—it was the beginning of something darker. Because the man they tried to break is about to rise into something they never saw coming.

To protect his wife's family, Eddard took the fall for a hit-and-run, spending three brutal years in Hell Prison. But the moment he steps into the sunlight, his wife, Arya, dumps him to protect her company's upcoming IPO. Her toxic family calls him a worthless cockroach, kicks him to the curb, and violently tries to steal his late parents' villa. They mock him for having nothing, eager to replace him with a wealthy billionaire heir. But they have no idea who they just discarded. While in prison, Eddard wasn't just rotting—he was inheriting. He is now Zeus, the absolute supreme leader of the Apex of the Stars, commanding global wealth and power spanning six continents. He is also the legendary Medical Saint, possessing mystical healing arts that the world's most powerful tycoons will beg for on their knees. As the city's true elite line up to bow at Eddard’s feet, his ex-wife’s family is still pathetically bragging about their minor corporate status. When his true identity is unleashed, Arya and her treacherous family will learn the devastating cost of betrayal. They will beg for his mercy—but the Apex does not forgive.

"You're nothing but a useless loser," Caroline sneered. "Without me, you'd be sleeping on the streets." For three years, Darius endured humiliation as a house husband. He cooked, cleaned, and loved his wife with everything he had. In return, she cheated on him with a wealthy businessman and treated him like dirt. The night Darius discovers the truth, he finally stops pretending. "We're getting divorced." Caroline laughs mockingly. "You have no money, no power, and no future. You'll come crawling back." What she doesn't know is that Darius is the long-lost heir to one of the richest families on Earth—an octomillionaire empire that controls corporations, banks, and powerful figures across the globe. Within days, CEOs bow before him. Billion-dollar contracts land at his feet. Even feared underworld bosses tremble when they hear his name. Meanwhile, Caroline watches her company collapse after losing the one man she never should have betrayed. When the truth is finally revealed, she can only stare in shock. "You... you're the Octomillionaire Heir?" Darius smiles coldly. "Now you know exactly what you threw away." A betrayed husband. A hidden heir. A ruthless rise to power. This time, regret will be her punishment.

He spent three years on his knees. He was never meant to be there. Three years ago, Kael woke up in an alley with no memories and no name. A wealthy family took him in, married him to the daughter they'd given up on, and turned him into their live-in servant—the one who apologizes when vases break and doesn't fight back when fists fly. Then something inside him starts to wake up. Hunters begin appearing. Beautiful, inhuman things that speak a name he doesn't recognize, and when they say it, something in him answers. Memories start bleeding through—memories of power, of judgment, of being something far more than human. Kael wasn't a nobody who lost his past. He was a god. The one who held other gods accountable. And when he got too close to their secrets, they ripped away his power, erased his mind, and buried him in a mortal body to suffer and forget. Now he's remembering. But every time he reaches for what he used to be, he loses a piece of the life he built here—his memories, his emotions, his connection to the wife who stayed. His brother, a god of war, is coming to finish the job. Seven days until he arrives. Kael can become what he was and lose everything human about himself, or stay who he is and die.

Ethan loved her with empty pockets and a full heart. He worked until his hands bled. Skipped meals. Gave her everything he had. On Valentine’s Day, he planned to give her the one gift he could never afford. Instead, he caught her in another man’s arms. His brother’s arms. They laughed at him. They told him love without money was worthless. They threw him away like trash. That same night, his phone rang. And the world flipped. One hundred million dollars appeared in his account. A powerful family came looking for their lost heir. And the poor boy nobody wanted became the man nobody could touch. Now the woman who left him wants him back. The family that crushed him wants forgiveness. But Ethan is done begging. Done loving with nothing. This time, he decides who deserves him.

Marco Deluca died a nobody. He woke up in a world of awakeners, mana cores, and noble families who treat commoners like insects. His body? Unawakened. His future? Garbage destined for the gutter. But he brought something back with him. The Infinity Money System. Now every gold coin he spends becomes power. Every luxury purchase accelerates his growth. And when the coldest ice princess in the empire—Isabella Moretti, the A-rank prodigy who makes S-rankers tremble—calls him worthless trash? Marco drops one hundred thousand gold coins at her feet. "I can't fight you. But I can buy you." One man. Unlimited wealth. Zero cultivation. And he just made a deal with the most dangerous woman in the world.

They laughed when Ethan Cole fell. They filmed his humiliation like it was an entertainment. They called him nothing. Worthless. Finished, and Forgotten. Even the woman he loved stood beside another man and watched him break without a word. But Ethan Cole was never what they believed. Behind the silence. Beneath the betrayal. Something had always been waiting. Not just a man. A system. A reckoning. A king who was never meant to stay hidden. Now he’s back. Not to plead. Not to explain. Not to forgive. But to take everything back. Piece by piece. Name by name. Empire by empire. They will lose their power without ever seeing the hand that takes it. Their pride will collapse before they understand the rules have changed. Because Ethan doesn’t fight battles. He ends them before they begin. And by the time they realize who he truly is… He has already rewritten their entire world. The forgotten heir is rising. And this time, no one will survive the truth.
