Derek Cross spent five years in a cage like an animal for a crime he never committed — because the woman he loved begged him to take the fall. He believed it was an accident. He believed she was worth it. He was wrong on both counts. The moment he walks free, Vanessa is waiting — not to welcome him home, but to destroy him in front of a stranger's kiss. Nolan Frost, heir to the Iron Talon Gang, wraps his arm around her waist and delivers the final blow: "Baby." He grinned around the word. "So this is the idiot who went to jail for me." Nolan was driving that night. Vanessa set Derek up from the beginning, orchestrating every tear, every promise, every year stolen from him — all to bury him while she climbed toward everything she'd taken. They think they've broken him. They have no idea what actually walked out of that prison. Two old men had quietly watched Derek from the inside — a martial master who rebuilt his body into something lethal, and a gentleman who handed him the one thing no fortune could buy: the chairmanship of Olympus, the empire sitting above every throne in Crown City. Even Darius Carter — the phantom underground emperor the city fears, the man two-thirds of its syndicates kneel to — is nothing more than Derek's errand boy. Derek doesn't want blood. Not yet. He wants Vanessa and Nolan to watch, in real time, as everything they stole is returned tenfold — while they kneel in the wreckage of what they threw away. Beside him stands Monica Hayden, the woman his godfathers chose — cold, brilliant, and the only one who ever saw what Derek Cross truly was. Not a loser. A storm nobody saw coming.

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!]
