Joaquin Mercado gave everything to his family. He worked double shifts, skipped meals, and loved his daughter Bea more than his own life. So when a massive solar storm plunged the Philippines into darkness and the food finally ran out, he gave them his last can of sardines. Seventy-four days after the sky burned, his wife Trina opened the door to his boss, Lorenzo Salcedo. As Joaquin bled on the kitchen floor, the daughter he had raised for eight years ran into Lorenzo's arms and called him *Papa*. Then Trina whispered her final words to him: at least tonight, he would finally be useful to the family. Joaquin wakes up in his own bed in Quezon City with the fan humming, the lights on, and a calendar that reads one hundred days before the storm. This time, he remembers everything. He plays the loyal husband while quietly gathering proof: a DNA test showing zero percent paternity, photos of Trina and Lorenzo entering Room 1408 of a BGC hotel, and nine years of lies. But when an anonymous message warns him to stop digging, Joaquin realizes someone is watching his every move. So he strikes first. At his grandmother's eightieth birthday, in front of the entire Mercado clan and Lorenzo himself, he exposes everything. He files for annulment, walks away from the house and the savings, and quits his job without taking a single peso. His family calls him a fool. Only his Lola sees the truth: he has finally woken up.

They called him the greatest genius the Heavenly Ember Sect had ever produced. The youngest Holy Son. The future Sect Master. The man destined to stand at the summit of the cultivation world. Then, in a single night, everything was stolen. Branded a traitor to humanity, he was accused of secretly cultivating a forbidden demonic art that drained the life essence of his own junior sisters to strengthen his cultivation. The evidence was undeniable. The witnesses were his own martial brothers. Even the women he had sworn to protect testified against him. Abandoned by the master he revered and condemned by the entire cultivation world, his cultivation cores were shattered, his meridians destroyed, and he was burned alive beneath the Nine Heavenly Karma Flames until nothing remained—not even ashes. The world rejoiced at the execution of a monster. Twenty years later... In the poorest corner of a small Town, a bedridden young man from the slums suddenly opens his eyes. No powerful family. No talent. No cultivation. No wealth. Only a broken body, endless debts... and the soul of a man who should have died long ago. As forgotten memories awaken and a mysterious ember ignites within his shattered soul, the fallen genius begins cultivating from nothing once again. But this time, he seeks neither glory nor justice. He will uncover the truth behind the conspiracy that destroyed his life. He will expose every lie that turned a hero into history's greatest villain. And when the day comes, the sect that reduced him to ashes will learn that some flames never die. For from the ashes of betrayal... he will rise to the Peak.

During his passing, Ran witnessed a djinn appear to take his father's soul to hell (NARAKU), but during the process, Ran caught a glimpse of hell before the spiritual portal dispersed.

He met a monastery acolyte named Sōran Haru. Haru admitted he could help him save his father from hell. Ran asked how and Haru told him that his half-sister was a Lilim (Lilims are demonic children of Lilith and Satan). He offered to summon her so they can ask if she could take him to hell and help him save his father. They used a ritual to summon her.

Now they must survive the horror of hell, and Ran must also deal with going from being eleven years old to sixteen over a few weeks and the fact that he might be the son of the great deceiver.

“You aren't destined to be rich. Stay poor, wear rags, and find women of your own caliber.” Those were the parting words of Jayden's girlfriend when she dumped him for a wealthy man. He had always noticed her shifting behavior, her expensive new outfits, and her sudden obsession with appearance—but what could a nobody like him do? He was just an ordinary worker grinding day and night at a local bakery. He had literally gone hungry just to please her, only to be cast aside like trash. Devastated and broken, Jayden returned to his empty room. Then, his phone buzzed. A single message changed everything. A bank credit with nine zeros. Before he could even process the impossible sum, a phone call came from a stranger—the Vice President of the world-renowned Apexium Conglomerate. But this wasn't a random stroke of luck; it was deliberate. It was a chilling realization that he was being watched, and that outsiders knew the dark secrets of his past better than he did. The call revealed a shocking truth that turned his ordinary life upside down: he was the sole heir to an untouchable empire. To claim his legacy and survive the corporate leeches waiting to end his life, Jayden must drop his simple existence and split his life into three ruthless identities: A life in the morning as an ordinary baker using his old life to quietly investigate, infiltrate, and gather evidence against his enemies. Life in the afternoon as the powerful, untouchable CEO exuding absolute confidence and authority in the boardroom. A life at night as a brutalized student pushing his body to the absolute limit, training in lethal martial arts under a ruthless master to survive the shadows. The game has changed. They underestimated him. Let's find out how wrong they were.
