Crush Secreto

He died a failure. Betrayed, broke, and bleeding out in a Brooklyn alley. Ethan Hayes had nothing—no money, no respect, no future. His fiancée cheated with his best friend. His boss fired him for refusing to break the law. His family called him worthless. At 34, a bullet ended his miserable existence. Then he woke up at 22. Senior year at NYU. Same betrayals looming. But this time, he's not alone. [REGRET REVERSAL SYSTEM ACTIVATED] "Host, you died like a side character. Want to rewrite the script and make them the punchline?" With a sarcastic AI system that rewards him for reversing past humiliations, Ethan gets a second chance—and he's taking everything. The startup his roommate stole? He'll build it first and crush him. The ex who cheated? She'll beg on her knees. The corrupt elites who stepped on him? They'll kneel before the king they created. From NYU dorms to Wall Street towers. From broke student to untouchable billionaire. Face-slaps. Revenge. Power. And the women who once rejected him? They're about to learn what they missed. New York won't know what hit it.

"Your existence is a plague, Jin’er. But your marrow... that is a treasure." ​For eighteen years, Lin Jin was locked away, labeled a "Living Coffin." His body naturally emitted a corrosive poison that rotted everything he touched. He lived in agony, believing his family was searching for a cure. ​He was wrong. On the day he thought he would be saved, his father drove a hollow spike into his spine. The truth? He was never a son. He was livestock. A vessel raised solely to harvest his rare "Corrosion Marrow" to fuel his genius brother’s cultivation. ​Drained, betrayed, and left to die in a collapsing dungeon, Lin Jin heard a voice echo from the empty hollow of his bones. An ancient, forbidden entity that had been sleeping within him all along. ​[They stole your blood? Then take their lives. They broke your bones? Then crush their heavens.] ​The chains shattered. The poison didn't disappear—it evolved. Lin Jin rose from the ashes. He no longer cultivated Spirit Qi. He cultivated Ruin. ​Everyone thought he was trash. Until he turned their legendary swords into rust and their bodies into dust. ​When power corrodes the soul, survival becomes a choice.

I never thought betrayal would hit me this hard. I caught my girlfriend cheating on me with the most popular guy on campus. I stood there, frozen, watching as she laughed in his arms—like I never even existed. And when I confronted them, I was the one who got blamed. Me. Because I was poor. Because I had no influence. She didn’t even try to defend me. And when I was at my lowest, when I thought I was about to die, something impossible happened. A screen appeared in front of me, glowing with strange letters. [Spend one million dollars within three days to unlock a greater prize.] It was a system—one that could give me unlimited wealth, but only if I played by its rules. With this, I could have anything. I could crush the ones who humiliated me. I could make them pay. But I quickly realized that money alone wouldn’t be enough. The man I was up against wasn’t just some rich playboy—he was dangerous, and he wasn’t going down easily. If I wanted to win, I had to be smarter. I had to use every trick, every advantage, and push the system to its limits. The question is—do I have what it takes?

On the day the sky cracks open and Earth becomes the Eternal Death Game, ordinary high-schooler Li Ming dies horribly in the first monster tide, only to awaken with all his memories intact and the exclusive Reincarnator’s Throne System. While millions of players struggle to survive endless monster waves and brutal PvP zones, Li Ming discovers he can steal every skill, stat, and title from anyone who dies within range, reset dungeons for infinite farming, and turn each of his own deaths into permanent, multiplying power. What begins as desperate survival quickly becomes calculated domination as he systematically harvests the fallen and grows stronger with every reset. But as he dismantles arrogant guilds and exposes hidden Game Masters who rig the apocalypse for their own benefit, Li Ming uncovers the horrifying truth: the Eternal Death Game was never meant to be survived. It was designed by ancient Architects to harvest human souls as fuel. The top players and guilds are merely pawns helping run the farm. Now, armed with a system that lets him break the rules themselves, Li Ming must decide whether to keep climbing alone… or shatter the entire Game and claim the Throne as the new god of a broken world. Will one reincarnated teenager succeed in turning the ultimate soul-harvesting machine against its creators, or will the Architects crush him before he can rewrite reality itself?
