Clara and Ansel had been married for about a year, but Clara didn't treat him well at all. Instead, she showered all her love on a big shot, Kelvin, and even ended up getting pregnant with his child. Once Clara became successful, she decided to cut ties with Ansel, calling him useless and challenging him to leave her.

But you know what they say, never judge a book by its cover! There's this mysterious "Almighty Ansel Luther" thing going on, and it seems like there's a lot more to the guy than we think.

A hero must be compassionate, selfless and courageous. But that isn't all. Because a hero must also be powerful. In this world, power is everything. Strength decides who gets to save lives and who's left with community service. That’s why I was nothing — a rank 50 E-Class reject, skating through the streets, saving what little I could while the real heroes battled gods and monsters. Then one day, I died. Almost. Dragged into the abyss, I was given a second chance: the Forever Core. An armor that evolves. A system that never stops adapting. Every battle, every hit, every mistake, I come back stronger. Now, the monsters that once crushed me can’t kill me the same way twice. I must adapt. Evolve. I must grow stronger and fight harder. Because humanity is worth fighting for. Even if I have to burn every villain alive to prove it.
