Controlling

For two long years, Caleb Hayes was the obedient, silent son-in-law everyone walked over. To save his father’s failing business, Caleb agreed to a contract marriage with Chloe Lincoln, secretly running her family's firm behind the scenes and turning it into a top-tier empire. All they promised him was a small branch company after two years, but on the exact day his contract ends, Chloe hands him a divorce decree and throws him out into the street without a single cent. When Caleb turns to his own family for help, his father and stepmother disown him, completely forgetting he ruined his life to save theirs. Broken and alone, Caleb receives an urgent call from an elite law firm revealing that his late mother left him an untouchable offshore fund worth tens of billions that just matured on his birthday. Three months later, as the Lincoln family business falls into complete chaos without Caleb's secret guidance, the board of directors fires the CEO and sells controlling shares to a mysterious investment group. On the day of the takeover, the new CEO steps out of his luxury sedan to take over the building, Chloe, her family, and the entire board are paralyzed with shock to see the useless man they discarded standing before them as their new boss. Calab Hayes is Back.

Stronger and nearly immune to ordinary physical damage, Kaito soon discovers that controlling his new body is far more difficult than expected. Driven by anger toward Lord Hidetada, Kaito returns to confront the man responsible for his downfall. But his revenge quickly reveals a much larger conspiracy. Hunters begin pursuing him, drawn to the mysterious magnetic energy within his body. As Kaito fights to survive, he discovers that his iron frame is not merely a desperate repair—it may be the prototype of a new breed of warriors. With Grandpa Gen as his unlikely companion, Kaito must travel toward the mysterious Iron Valley and uncover the truth behind the Shogun's experiments, the strange metal inside his body, and the terrifying purpose for which he was created. The more Kaito learns about his iron body, the more dangerous his journey becomes. He may have survived death, but becoming something beyond human could cost him the last part of himself.

It can salvage damaged weapons, discarded skills, and broken abilities, then combine them into something entirely new. What begins as a desperate attempt to survive becomes an impossible path to power. As Kade turns discarded fragments into increasingly powerful abilities, he discovers that his class can do something the System was never designed to allow: break its own rules. But his growing power attracts the attention of powerful factions, dangerous monsters, and a mysterious entity lurking beyond the Regional Rift. While everyone struggles to understand what Kade is becoming, he must uncover the truth behind the Gate Event before the force controlling it destroys what remains of the world. They called him the worst class. They abandoned him to die. Now Kade is about to show them what happens when the world's greatest mistake learns how to evolve.

For three years, Julian Cross played the perfect, obedient house husband, swallowing every insult from his entitled wife and her venomous family just to pay off his dead father's debts. His reward? A stack of divorce papers thrown in his face on their anniversary, and a mocking laugh as she walked out the door with a billionaire trust-fund kid. "Sign the papers, you useless parasite," she sneered, looking down at him like he was garbage. "You're a broke deadbeat, Julian. You'll never amount to anything." Julian didn't argue. He didn't beg. He just looked at the glowing blue screen only he could see, and chose Option 2. CRACK. He slapped her across the face, signed the papers, and walked out into the night. [Ding! Choice confirmed. Reward: $10,000,000,000 in liquid cash, God-Level Medical Skills, and a 30% controlling stake in her new boyfriend's company.] Now, the "trash" ex-husband is buying out their country club just to evict them on the spot.

"You thought I was a stray dog you could just kick around?" Julian whispered, looking down at his ruined ex-wife and her bankrupt new boyfriend as they begged on their knees. "You forgot one thing about stray dogs. We bite."

The gods were an interesting aspect to every human's fundamental awakening. The gods had to fight themselves, for a chance to be given to every mortals. Those with exceptional talent will awaken, while those that lacks it will have to wait till the next conflict of gods. However this conflict happens to be a very special one since the five primordial gods of all existence where preying on one of their very own kind all because his soul had absorbed all of the godliness in existence and will likely be the only god strong enough to stop other gods. So... they decided to have him give up his power. Who would have expected that Azarax, the god of Chaos will be able to play the strings of fate like he owned them, controlling events like they were his own. Azarax broke his soul into three parts. One part was sent to a dying child's body... the very heir of chaos. A bullied child who had been injected with a heart seeker by the bullies just to end his life. Fortunately for Rime Havan, he fused with chaos God, awakening something very terrifying. Azarax would have simply sent the other two parts to Rime, but it would be very easy for the five other gods to recognize it because it would be too strong. So... the second part, he buried at the bottom of the sea and the third part, he erased for the time being. Now as the new Heir, Rime will have to find all fragments and inherit the true power of chaos.
