As Anthony’s life spirals into ruins, he is forced to confront the harsh reality of his crumbling marriage and the bitter truth that love may not be enough when greed and ambition take control. But Anthony isn’t ready to go down without a fight. In a city driven by power and wealth, can he reclaim his dignity and find a way to rise from the ashes of his shattered life?

In the fourth year of the apocalypse, humanity was on the brink of extinction. I did not perish under natural disasters or fall victims to zombies, but tragically met my end at the hands of betrayal and greed from my companions. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself five years past! In that year, apocalypse had yet to arrive, and my loved ones and friends who had truly cared for me were still alive, untouched by various reasons and my indiscriminate kindness… I am determined to correct the mistakes of my previous life in this new one. There’s still time to change everything! Reborn like a phoenix, I swear that, in this life, I will rather be a leader than a follower. I will do everything in my power to ensure that I and those I care about live well.

I swear, I will make you crawl at my feet! In this ruined world, I will rebuild the human habitat and restore an era of peace and prosperity! I will be the creator of this new world! I will be the king of the new era! I will be the new Legend!

Dr. Nyle, a brilliant scientist is on a mission to investigate a mysterious black hole that appeared near the orbit of saturn.  He discovers that the black hole was indeed a ship and journeys to it. There he finds epochis, an AI created, embedded into the ship, created by the ouroborans from eight thousand years into the future, who had mastered time.  Guided by Epochis, he’s told that an antimatter weapon, scattered across multiple universes, is the key to defeating the omnipotent Aeon Prime, a malevolent entity bent on annihilating all realities, which was the prime originator of an ouroboran civil war in the far future. With Epochis and a love interest, Dara sol, he travels the multiverse, looking for fragmented pieces of an anti-matter weapon. Each universe he traverses holds both the key to saving everything and the seeds of his own undoing. From a two-dimensional world where existence is reduced to planes, to universes made of echoes and timelines frozen in an eternal loop, Nyle battles both the strange physics of these realms and his inner doubts. Meanwhile, an Ouroboran captain, once lost in a time loop, emerges from his prison, now bent on stopping Nyle before it’s too late. The captain reveals the true history of the Ouroboran civil war—how Aeon Prime was created as a result of a rebellion among their own, fracturing timelines and bringing the end of the universe far closer than anyone imagined. Nyle must choose between continuing the quest and becoming Aeon Prime’s pawn, or destroying the one power that could save all realities. The end of all universes is fast approaching, and Nyle is the only one standing between survival and oblivion.

************ 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?
