What Lisa didn’t know was that the humble, hardworking husband she betrayed was hiding a terrifying secret.

But at their multi-million-dollar victory gala, the doors are about to lock. The music is about to stop. And the man they murdered is about to walk in and buy their entire existence in ten seconds.

Every soul on earth awakened a divine bloodline. Except one. They called him a cosmic mistake; now, he’s their system crash. Born completely mortal in a hyper-stratified world ruled by the Five Sacred Houses, Ren Ashveil is "The Hollow"—a human glitch with zero divine energy. After his corrupt family sells his sister to power the Grand Patriarch's elite core servers, Ren is discarded as an evolutionary dead-end. But his empty body isn't a void; it's a terminal root directory. Carrying no predefined code, his skin acts as an absolute vacuum that intercepts, permanently deletes, and archives the divine bloodlines of anyone he touches. He doesn’t inherit divinity—he consumes it. Disguised in a faceless ballistic visor and a null-threaded duster coat, Ren infiltrates the neon-drenched spires of the Upper Ring under the alias "The Glitch." From underground gladiatorial rings to heavily guarded palace vaults, he leaves a trail of formatted, powerless elites in his wake, systematically stealing their elements to forge his own unclassified divine tier. The false gods think they are tracking a minor runtime error, but as Ren climbs toward the central harvesting spire, he is about to execute a total, systemic rewrite of their entire world.

Once a legendary general, Kael Ardyn was killed on the battlefield—betrayed by those he trusted most. But fate offers him a second chance. A chance to be reborn. Not as a warrior. Not as a hero. But as a sickly prince everyone believes is already half-dead. The palace sees him as useless. His stepmother wants him gone. His stepbrother is already reaching for the throne. But Kael remembers everything from his past life. The wars he fought. The strategies that won battles. The mistakes that led to his death. Reborn into a weak body, Kael hides his recovery and begins to move carefully—protecting his younger sister, uncovering poison within the palace, and turning enemies who mock him into pieces on his board. When the woman betrothed to him is taken and offered to his stepbrother, Kael is left with only one path forward: a brutal tournament meant to decide strength and if he is worthy enough to marry her and to rule the kingdom. This second life is his chance to do things differently—and to take back everything that was stolen from him. The throne awaits, but the path is paved with danger, deception, and trials that will push him to his limits. Can the reborn prince prove he is the kingdom’s true heir—and become the ruler history will never forget?

[ Endure... and grow stronger. ] [ Host! Survive Absolute Zero, and you will gain dominion over it. ] [ Host! Endure five days inside an erupting volcano, and your control over fire will surpass anything you possessed before. ] ________________ The day a colossal tower called Zenith appeared, the apocalypse began.

Humanity's only hope lay with the Awakened-those born with supernatural abilities-who climbed the tower in a desperate attempt to save their world. Rin was the weakest of them all.

But as he grows stronger, one terrifying truth becomes impossible to ignore. The Chaotic World, the system called Charly, and Zenith are all connected... And somewhere beyond the tower, the being who created this apocalypse are waiting.
