Among them is Adrian Cole, a calculating strategist whose icy demeanor masks a far darker purpose.

"If there is a next life... I, Felix Cross, swear on every god that exists. I will find you, and I will make your life a living hell." Those were Felix's last words before death claimed him. Standing before him was his boss the man he had trusted for years despite being bully by him most times, with an arm wrapped around Felix's beautiful wife's waist. In her hand, was a revolver. His blood. Betrayed by the wokan he loved most, Felix died with nothing but hatred in his heart. But death was not the end. When Felix opened his eyes again, he found himself back six months before the ice age, before the masks fell off every human being alive. Armed with the memories of his past life and a mysterious spatial storage ability, Felix swore one thing: He would never play the righteous fool again. This time, he lives for himself. This time, the ones who wronged him will pay one by one, drop by drop. In a frozen world where the strong devour the weak, Felix Cross will not just survive, but enjoy.

They drowned him because a boy like him wasn't supposed to take up space. William Cedrick is twenty-five, still stuck in his fourth year of college, still wearing the same cracked glasses, still the punchline of every joke on campus. Orphaned, broke, and bullied since the day he set foot in university, he has learned to make himself small — smaller than his body, smaller than his grades, smaller than his own name. He has nothing. No parents. No money. No one, except a girl named Natasya who bandages his wounds and never asks him to be grateful for it. Then his tormentors throw him into the sea and hold him under until he stops fighting. William dies. And something else wakes up in his place. He returns with a new face, a new body, and a new mind — and a system only he can hear, one that turns every lie told against him into cold, hard cash. The uglier the lie, the richer he gets. The crueler the liar, the faster their world burns down. Nobody recognizes him. Nobody remembers the fat, awkward boy they killed. They only see a stranger — flawless, brilliant, untouchable — walking back into their lives like a debt collector who has finally come to collect. This is not a story about becoming someone new. This is a story about becoming exactly who he always should have been — and making every single one of them pay, one lie at a time.

"This world doesn't need a hero. A broken world just needs a ruler crueler than any monster out there." Jonathan was left bleeding out on the wet asphalt. His fiancée walked away arm-in-arm with a rich boss, right as the city sky ripped open and monsters rained down to swallow the streets. Just as his breath was fading, a cold, mechanical voice buzzed in his head: [Critical Condition. Initiating Alpha Evolution System Synchronization.] Instead of dying, Jonathan got back up. Saving the world? He couldn't care less. He used the system for one thing only: hunting. From the street thugs who stomped on his head, corrupt military generals acting tough, to giant apocalyptic monsters—he butchered them all. He drained their energy to evolve. Now, so-called 'Gods' from other dimensions are descending to Earth because they feel threatened. They think Jonathan is just a street rat who got lucky with a cheat. Let them come. Jonathan only sees them as one thing: dinner for his next evolution.

"If you've any conscience left in you, you'll understand that you deserve this." The prison doors closed behind him with those final words. Ethan Carvendish was the true heir of the Carvendish family, yet his existence was treated as nothing more than a stain that needed to be erased. "You're nothing but a criminal!" His father discarded him without hesitation. "I regret giving birth to you. I wish Charlie was my biological son!" His mother chose an adopted son over her own flesh and blood. "Charlie is my only brother, not a disgusting parasite like you." His sister looked at him with nothing but disgust. "It's just three years in prison. Charlie is delicate, unlike you." The woman he loved stood beside his adopted brother, forged evidence, framed him, and watched silently as he was condemned for a crime he never committed. For three years, he rotted in prison for someone's crime, while they celebrated his fall. The prison did not break him, it awakened him. Now Ethan has returned, not as the discarded heir… But as the Shadow Tyrant. A name whispered in fear. A power no one can control. A ruler the elite world cannot defy. "Son… We were wrong." The parents who abandoned him now kneel before him. "Ethan, sister regrets everything… please come back…" The sister who once saw him as nothing but a disgrace now begging for his attention. "Ethan… please give me another chance…" The woman who once sent him to prison crawls to his feet. But the Ethan Carvendish they betrayed died behind those prison walls, the one who returned is coldhearted. As the world trembles before the Shadow Tyrant, only one question remains. Will Ethan Carvendish reclaim everything that was stolen from him… or will shadow tyrant destroy them all without mercy?
