A Wizard's Secret

Betrayed by his wife for a wealthier man, he was cast aside as nothing more than a worthless son-in-law. But this is no ordinary tale of revenge. He didn't bother with petty humiliation—he's set his sights on something far greater. Now, he's risen from the ashes to become a powerful mafia lord, building an empire in the shadows, his name whispered in fear. But that’s not all. Beneath the criminal underworld lies an even darker truth: supernatural beings—demons, ghosts, and ancient races—lurking within human society. His true mission, given by a god, is to hunt them down and stop their silent invasion. And anyone who dares cross him? They'll learn the hard way what happens when you mess with a man destined for power, both in this world and beyond.

Ethan Rylan was a nobody on Earth, crushed by a medical debt that outlived his mother. In the magical world of Aetheria, he is still a nobody—an E-minus rank "trash" transmigrator assigned to the literal gutters of the world. But while heroes gain power through victory, Ethan’s glitched System grants him power through absolute, sincere failure. Every lash of a whip, every crushing defeat, and every humiliation is a deposit into a bank of god-tier abilities. To become the strongest, Ethan must first become the world's greatest loser.

To the world, he was a nobody. To the Mitchell family, he was a stain on their reputation. Ethan Hunt’s life changed forever after a mysterious one-night stand with Lisa Mitchell, the cold and beautiful heiress to a multi-billion dollar empire. Forced into a "slave marriage" to cover up a scandal, Ethan endured six months of hell. He was mocked by the elite, treated like a servant in his own home, and eventually framed for a crime he didn’t commit by the very woman he tried to protect. The betrayal was absolute. Sentenced to five years in the city’s most brutal prison, Ethan was left to rot. But his enemies made one fatal mistake: they didn't know who he truly was. Deep inside his soul, an ancient power has awakened. Ethan is the reincarnation of the Dragon God, and his "Golden Finger" has finally activated. Inside the prison walls, he saves the life of a dying secret trillionaire, inheriting an empire that dwarfs the Mitchells' wealth. Five years later, the gates open. The man who walked in was a broken husband. The man walking out is a hidden tycoon with the power of a god and the bank account of a king. Lisa Mitchell is on the brink of losing everything, and she’s looking for a miracle. She’s about to find out that the man she destroyed is the only one who can save her and this time, he isn’t asking for her love.

Adrian had planned the perfect anniversary dinner—Vanessa’s favorite dishes, a warm, quiet home, and even time for their daughter, Lily. But as the clock neared midnight, his excitement turned into a hollow silence. Vanessa stumbled in, drunk and careless, not even noticing the effort he had put in. She tossed her purse on the couch, waved him off, and mocked his calls. “Can you stop calling me all the time? I was at a banquet, making connections, actually contributing to this family,” she snapped, her words dripping with contempt. Adrian stayed calm, trying to remind her of the night’s significance. But Vanessa scoffed, mocking the anniversary, humiliating him further. “Everyone asked why I didn’t bring a male companion. I wanted to sink into the floor. Imagine saying, ‘My husband is home babysitting a kid.’ I’d rather say my goldfish ran away!” She continued, bitter and harsh: “If I didn’t get pregnant, I’d never have married you. Lily slows me down, and you… you slow me down the most.” Adrian, silent but composed, finally spoke: “Let’s get a divorce.” Vanessa erupted in rage, smashing the dinner he had prepared, shattering more than just plates. In that moment, Adrian walked away, leaving the chaos behind.

They gave him a broken fiefdom and a death sentence. He'll give them an empire in return. When Kaito Tanaka, a military strategist deemed too ruthless for the modern world, wakes up as Kaelan von Greyrat, he knows he's been handed the worst deal imaginable. His new family despises him, his soldiers mock him, and a barbarian horde is weeks away from slaughtering them all. But Kaelan has a secret weapon: a System that rewards brilliant tactics with unimaginable power. While knights prepare for a glorious last stand, Kaelan plays a different game. He fights with blackmail instead of blades, with economics instead of armies. Every humiliation becomes a strategic advantage. Every "coward's move" makes him stronger. Soon, the nobles who laughed at him will beg for mercy, the barbarians who sought to crush him will flee in terror, and the kingdom that abandoned him will kneel at his feet. But Kaelan's rise attracts attention from powerful forces beyond his understanding. Other players in this deadly game have been transported to his world, each with their own terrifying abilities. To survive, Kaelan must uncover the truth behind his transmigration and face an enemy who knows all his tricks, because they play the same game. He was given nothing. He'll take everything.

Ethan is an ordinary college student, majoring in history and leading a quiet, unremarkable life. One day, while walking home from class, he is suddenly engulfed by a mysterious portal and transported to Aetheria, a sprawling fantasy world of magic, monsters, and legendary heroes. Upon arrival, he discovers he has been summoned as a “hero” to aid the realm against an encroaching darkness. However, his magical aptitude is abysmally low, and he fails every basic test and training exercise. The other heroes and villagers quickly label him “the weakest hero”, mocking him as a liability. Desperate and confused, Ethan’s life seems doomed… until a hidden system activates. A mysterious interface appears before him, explaining: > “Your power grows through failure. Each mistake, setback, and defeat will grant you new skills or enhance your existing ones. Your strength is derived not from talent, but from resilience and perseverance.” With this strange rule in place, Ethan begins to experiment. At first, his failures are laughably pathetic: falling off training cliffs, accidentally triggering explosions, or summoning useless monsters. Yet, each failure brings surprising growth: a missed spell suddenly evolves into a devastating magical combo, a botched sword swing awakens latent elemental energy, or a misstep in stealth unlocks precognition. As he slowly accumulates a patchwork of bizarre yet powerful abilities, Ethan’s reputation shifts from the weakest hero to a legendary wildcard, a hero who seems to defy logic and overwhelm enemies in the most unexpected ways.
