A Beta Before An Alpha

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.

Well, like any other virus affecting the world, this one came all too sudden and with little control. Early morning on Monday, I prepared my son Javi to go to school. I packed his lunch, water, and breakfast for the whole day. It has been a routine for years that it only takes me an hour or so. At exactly 6:30 am, I led my son to board the school Van to go to school. I said hi to the school driver and the teacher on duty before going back into the house. I had so many things to do. I was done with laundry and heading to the kitchen when I heard shouting's from outside. We live on the third floor, room number 205. My husband worked at a research facility. For the last few days, he had been busy and had little time to spend with us. Which is normal regarding his line of work. Saving people's lives I rushed to the balcony to see what was happening, and I was stunned. People were attacking each other. It was weird. When two people attack each other, then it may be normal. When a whole lot of people attack and bite each other, then it's something else. My neighbor was also on the balcony looking outside. "What's happening?" I curiously asked the neighbor Before she could answer me, her husband came rushing to her and bit her on her neck. I was shocked and shouted at them. "What are you doing? Let her be?" He could not hear me.

Kevin Hart never knew what it felt like to be truly loved. His father abandoned him. His mother raised him alone, sacrificing everything until the day she died, leaving him an orphan before he was old enough to understand what home meant. With her final breath, she held his trembling hand. "I'm sorry, Kevin... Mom can't stay with you anymore." He was still too young to bury the only person who had ever loved him. Standing before her grave, tears streaming down his face, he whispered, "Mom... I'll make you proud." With nothing left, he was sent into the military, where pain became his teacher and the battlefield became his family. Years later, the broken boy rose to become GODsFALL—the most feared War God alive. Kingdoms trembled at his name. Enemies prayed they would never meet him. Then he met Sarah. For the first time, Kevin laid down his sword. He walked away from power, glory, and bloodshed to become nothing more than an ordinary husband. He believed love was worth every sacrifice. But on their wedding night, Sarah walked out to be with another man. Alone in a room filled with untouched champagne and shattered promises, Kevin finally understood a cruel truth: The world had never chosen him. Not as a son. Not as a child. Not even as a husband. The man who gave up everything was left with nothing. This time, he would never beg for love again. The War God had returned.
