Wayne Stark has always been the center of ridicule. In the eyes of his in-laws, he’s nothing but a worthless burden. Even the youngest among them doesn’t hesitate to insult or strike him, using every opportunity to remind him of his place—at the bottom. But what infuriates them more than anything is Wayne’s calm reaction. No matter the humiliation, he smiles. He speaks with respect. He never loses his cool. To them, he’s a fool. But to Wayne, it’s simply life as he knows it. What they don’t know is that their days of mocking him are numbered.

Upon learning the truth, Lord Williams vows to restore Wayne’s honor—by making him the wealthiest, most powerful man in the country. And Wayne?

In a cultivation realm that upholds the accumulation of good karma as the only path to enlightenment and power, an anomaly named Arion emerges. Unlike his peers who pursue virtue, Arion is mysteriously endowed with a unique System that grants him power from the most unholy sources: the sins, hatred, and regrets of others. The greater the conflict, tragedy, and suffering surrounding him, the more formidable the cultivation energy he absorbs, making him an increasingly powerful anomaly in a world that condemns the very source of his strength. However, this power comes with unexpected and heartbreaking consequences. Women who are deeply connected to Arion's emotions—whether through sympathy, conflict, or fate—will inevitably be bound to his "karmic chains." This bond is not the result of ordinary seduction or romance, but rather an unbreakable spiritual tie, making them part of Arion's cultivation process. Elders and elite sects view him as a threat, an embodiment of darkness that must be eradicated. On his journey, Arion must not only fight powerful enemies but also grapple with the morality of his own power and the fate of the women bound to him. Questions about the justice and truth of the karma believed by the world begin to surface, sparking doubt about the very foundations of their faith. Arion and his System are not a curse, but a cosmic correction tool, an entity destined to rebalance the order of the universe that has long since strayed. He is the "Balancer of Fate," tasked with restoring true balance between light and darkness, sin and virtue, even if it means destroying the foundations of the world he knows.
