Campus-tyrann

Everyone called Jaxen a "Mana-Dead" loser. Even after graduating from the prestigious Aether Academy, he couldn't find a job cleaning toilets. But when his father begs the tyrant Lord Valerius for mercy, Jaxen is forced into a humiliating "Slave-Marriage" to the coldest beauty in the city, Seraphina Valerius. The city laughs as the "Trash Son-in-Law" is forced to sweep the floors of the woman who once chased him. They don't know that Jaxen has awakened the "Primordial Void System." Every insult they throw at him fuels his power. Every time they try to suppress him, he siphons their life force. He isn't just a husband—he's a predator waiting for the perfect moment to devour the entire Valerius lineage.

************ For years, Adrian Hayes had been nothing more than a ghost at Northvale University. Despite his sharp mind and top grades, he was nothing but a scholarship student, a nobody among the elite. The rich kids mocked him, his professors barely noticed him, and even his so-called friends only stuck around when they needed help with their assignments. But the worst betrayal came from the one person he had trusted—Sophia Lancaster. The girl he had secretly loved, the girl who once smiled at him in the library, humiliated him in front of the entire campus, choosing to be with Nathan Sterling, the heir to the Sterling Corporation. "You? Compete with Nathan? Don’t be ridiculous. You’ll always be a pathetic charity case," Sophia scoffed, her hand laced with Nathan’s. Adrian had never felt more worthless. But everything changed the next morning when a single notification appeared on his phone. "Congratulations, Adrian Hayes. You are the sole heir to the Hayes Fortune. Your assets have been unlocked." Thinking it was some cruel joke, he clicked the link. Within seconds, his bank account balance surged to $50 million. Now, armed with wealth, power, and an identity no one saw coming, Adrian returns—not as the quiet, overlooked student, but as someone they’ll never forget. This time, he’s the one in control. The tables have turned. Nathan Sterling will fall. Sophia will regret her choices. And Northvale University will witness the rise of the Rejected Genius. Will Adrian use his newfound fortune for revenge, or will he prove that the best success is living well?
