Ruthless

Arthur Vance was a titan of modern industry—a ruthless corporate strategist who mastered the art of the hostile takeover. But when a betrayal ends his life in the 21st century, he wakes up in the body of Julian Valerius, the disgraced, "waste" illegitimate son of a dying Emperor. ​In a world governed by ancient steel and noble bloodlines, Julian is a man with a target on his back. His six half-brothers, each a powerful warlord or cunning politician, have already signed his death warrant to secure their path to the throne. He has no army, no wealth, and a reputation as a drunken fool. ​But he has a mind the medieval world isn't prepared for. ​Using his knowledge of modern economics, chemical engineering, and psychological warfare, Julian begins his ascent from the mud of the slums. ​He turns sour grain into Liquid Gold, a distilled spirit that corrupts the empire’s elite and funds his private shadow army. ​He recruits Elena Vance, a legendary but betrayed General, turning her into the sword that will carve his path to glory. ​He builds a network of "Rats"—the beggars and outcasts—creating the first global intelligence agency in history. ​As the Empire spirals into a bloody civil war, Julian doesn't just fight for survival; he executes a takeover. From the smoke of the slums to the gold of the high court, the "Waste Prince" will prove that in the face of modern logic, even the strongest crown is nothing more than gilded lead. ​Witness the birth of an Empire where gold speaks louder than swords, and a bastard's shadow looms over the world.

Warren made to speak but just then the MC got the stage, officially welcoming everyone to the gala. Just then Lady Williams joins them. Surprised couldn't describe what she felt seeing Warren at the gala. “What's he doing here?” She asked. “We’re just as shocked as you are grandma,” Troy said. “Don't stand close to us. I don’t want anyone thinking we are actually associated with a commoner like you,” Laurel said. Soon they were interrupted by the loud voice from the speaker. “...Please welcome on stage, the host of tonight's gala and newly appointed CEO of Sterling Heights, Warren Easton.” Loud cheers and applauses erupted immediately. Warren made his way to the front and stood until the noise died down. His eyes squarely on the Williams family. He watched as their faces switched from the looks of confusion to realisation to that of surprise. He had them where he wanted them. Bingo.

However, they did not realize that the horrifically mutilated corpse was their own son.

Left for dead, Zero stumbles upon 'The Karma System'. A secret experiment that judges sins and virtues... punishing or rewarding... without mercy. A power that could destroy him as easily as it could make him a god. Now, the man who was broken has become something more than human. He has become stronger, smarter, and dangerous. But who say God doesn't have enemies? Zero has plenty... corrupt officials, mafia bosses, rivals who despise how the new 'God' does things, and the very creators of the system itself. They want their weapon back. Zero doesn't like that... Not one bit. "This system made me more than a Zero. So if you think I will ever give it back, you must be out of your minds. And to everyone who betrayed, and stepped on me... count your sins. Because karma is coming... and it has my f*cking name."

For a struggling student working night shifts to support his single mother, it was an astronomical sum. It was a polite death sentence to his romance. ​But fate had a different, far more brutal plan. ​Snatched from his world, he is thrust into the Tower of Awakening, a multidimensional death game. Amidst the blood and despair, he discovers a sliver of hope in the Tower Shop. It is a divine system capable of manifesting wealth and miracles back on Earth. To return home and fulfill his promise, he must survive and conquer the floors. ​There is one problem.

Armed with a rusty sword, his one unique asset is a glitching, unmeasurable trait the system cannot comprehend: [Limitless Potential (???)]. ​It does not grant him instant power or magic. Instead, it demands a terrifying price. To grow stronger, Daniel must endure painful physical trauma, pushing his body to the brink of death to force a cellular adaptation. Every stat point is paid for in blood, sweat, and shattered bones. ​Surrounded by veteran killers who started miles ahead of him, he must weaponize his own suffering to bridge the gap.
