He discovers he can forcibly collect "payments" from those who wrong him—stripping away their health, their talents, and even their remaining years of life. ​He doesn't want an apology. He doesn't want peace. He wants to audit the world. ​From stealing the vitality of arrogance billionaires to seizing the luck of corrupt geniuses, Arlan becomes the world's most terrifying creditor. ​They say revenge is a dish best served cold. For Arlan, it is simply a transaction. And everyone is about to pay up.

Death was supposed to be the end. Instead, it was only the beginning. When the arrogant son of a billionaire opens his eyes, he finds himself reborn in Aetherion, a ruthless world ruled by cultivation sects, elemental powers, and blood-soaked hierarchies. He awakens in the shattered body of an eighteen-year-old orphan—broken, discarded, and left to die after failing a cultivation test. In this world, the weak are resources, and mercy is a myth. Marked as talentless, hunted by fate, and surrounded by cruelty, he survives on nothing but willpower and a terrifying secret buried deep within his damaged core: Void—a forbidden power that does not create, but erases. As he struggles through hunger, violence, and human betrayal, his path collides with Selene Veyth, the cold and formidable daughter of a powerful cultivation sect leader, whose Blood-bound power is as deadly as the chains that bind her. Void and Blood should never coexist. Yet in a realm where strength is law and humanity is optional, survival demands impossible choices. This is not a tale of destiny. This is a story of endurance. In a world of magic and blood, how long can one remain human?

"But wait, what are my last wishes? Why am I reincarnated as a sword? Why are you sending me to that terrible planet based on the awful novel that led to my death?" shouted the consciousness of Ronin, which resided inside the sword. What will the human-shaped light do before sending the sword to that parallel world? What will the sword do after it enters that parallel world?

Sentenced to "The Pit," a prison notorious for housing the world’s most dangerous warlords, mercenaries, and hackers, Ron was expected to die within a week. He didn’t.

Inside The Pit, Ron didn’t rot; he ruled. He saved the lives of disgraced generals, financial geniuses, and master assassins, earning their eternal loyalty. He is no longer Ron the Engineer.

I died as the Nine Realms’ strongest Sovereign. Or so they thought. I woke up 5 years ago in a broken body — no memories, no cultivation, no name. The Carter family took me in as their live-in son-in-law, a dog they kicked for three years straight. The day my cheating wife threw divorce papers at me, I signed without looking back. At the crossroads, a girl in white was waiting. She called me “Your Majesty”... and returned something I’d buried: a shattered soul bead. With it came whispers. Fragments of a past life. And a truth: my death wasn’t an accident. It was betrayal. Now I have no power, but I have time. Nine soul fragments scattered across the realms. Nine betrayers who took my throne. Nine steps from trash son-in-law to the man who rewrites the heavens. They think I’m crippled. They think I’m done. Let them laugh. Every slap, every insult, every “worthless”... it’s all fuel. Because when the last fragment awakens, the Sovereign returns. And this time, I won’t die alone.
