"You used to say a piece of bread was worth more than my life, didn't you? Well, look at me now. I have everything, yet I would rather feed this to my guard dog than toss it to traitors like you. The world has changed, Cindy. In my world, you are not even worth the dust on my shoes." The apocalypse was not the end of everything. It was the beginning of the reckoning of sins. When the black meteor Khamul crashed into the continent of Eldoria, the world transformed into a living hell overnight. Axel Edward was betrayed by his girlfriend for a single piece of moldy bread and thrown into a horde of zombies to die. However, death instead awakened a miracle: the 100x Rebate System. The rule was simple. Give any resource to a woman chosen by the system, and receive a return up to a thousand times over in god-tier quality! Give away a sip of leftover water? Axel received an entire warehouse of pure mineral water. Give away a rusty kitchen knife? Axel received a steel-shattering laser vibration sword. Offer basic shelter? Axel received an invincible divine fortress. While the rest of the world shivered and starved in the dark, Axel was busy figuring out how to finish his fresh Wagyu beef and taking hot baths inside his grand palace. Alongside the goddesses who had sworn absolute loyalty to him, Axel would ascend to the highest throne. To those who betrayed him: prepare to beg for death. To the ruined world: bow down and worship your new ruler.

On our wedding day, she didn't say "I do." She toasted my health, slid a poisoned needle into my goblet, and watched me choke on my own blood. My last sight was her stepping over my body into the arms of the man who bought her. I thought that was the end. I was wrong. I woke up in the Valerian Empire as Cale von Valerius—a discarded, "crippled" Third Prince who everyone expects to die quietly in a corner. But at the Imperial Welcome Banquet, she walked through the doors. Same face. Same voice. Same cruel beauty. Now, she’s Lady Evelyn, the newly betrothed bride of my ruthless older brother, the Crown Prince. She doesn't remember the blood on her hands or the altar where I died. She thinks I’m just a harmless, coughing prince with one foot in the grave. Let her think that. I’ll let her walk down the aisle again—right into the trap I’m building underneath her feet.

My wife gave our final piece of meat to her secret lover while I stood freezing in a sixty-below-zero blizzard. The man who had cast aside everything to keep them alive was now a joke, a useless son-in-law left to perish in the cold. They were never aware of the truth. I had been the secret heir to the most powerful family in the city. I had thrown it all away for her. Mocked by my in-laws and treated as a servant, I still believed she loved me. Until the Cold Apocalypse occurred. The world froze, monsters came out, and civilization collapsed. My devotion to blindness brought me a miserable, frozen death. But death wasn‘t the end. It was three days before the end of the world when I finally opened my eyes. This time, the obedient husband is gone, replaced by something much worse. The Chimera King System has loaded. When I carried the carapaces of mutated monsters, I absorbed their DNA and the strength that comes with it. This time, I will not plead. I will not give. I will not love blindly. My wife and her lover believe they will be able to use me once more when the ice thaws. They’re wrong. This time... I will make sure they freeze.
