When covert intelligence officer Remington Kessel returns home after five years abroad, he finds his entire existence wiped clean. His younger brother, Chris, used a forged psychiatric evaluation, a coerced notary, and forced board votes to declare Remington legally incompetent, seize control of the multibillion-dollar Kessel Group, and convince their mother he was dangerously unhinged. Refusing to resort to violence, Remington wages a cold, methodical war of forensic strategy. Operating from the shadows, he targets the load-bearing pillars of Chris's conspiracy: an ousted board member hiding audio evidence, a blackmailed notary holding a damning paper trail, and the corrupt psychiatrist paid to sign off on false declarations. As Remington gathers an irrefutable chain of evidence, he leaves the complete dossier at his family’s kitchen table—forcing a silent, devastating reckoning that shatters Chris's control and reclaims both his stolen legacy and his name.

In Aurex, the rich rule, the poor kneel and omegas are disposable. Eren McPherson is a servant from the Lower Academy, forced to serve the most powerful elites. Betrayed, framed, and executed for a crime he never committed, his life should have ended in the dirt. Instead, he awakens with a forbidden system. A system that turns desire into wealth… obsession into power… and beautiful women into living assets. From seductive nobles and dangerous professors to icy heiresses and ruthless warladies, every bond he forms makes him richer, stronger, and more untouchable. The elites want to own him. The city wants to control him. And the women… want him. He refuses them all. Because this time, the omega won’t serve. He will buy the world instead.

“They should cut your hands off before the next ceremony. Why let trash touch the Awakening Stone?” Dante Moretti is the disgrace of Saint Lucian Academy. In a world where power decides status, wealth, and survival, Dante is worse than weak—he is nothing. The Awakening Stone doesn’t glow for him. The examiners laugh behind his back. Students spit insults every time he walks through the halls. “Even stray dogs have instincts,” Renzo Cavalli sneers. “But you? You were born useless.” Every day, Dante endures the humiliation in silence. Being shoved into lockers. Having food dumped over his head. Listening as students compare him to worms beneath their shoes. Because if he quits the academy, his little sister Lucia loses her chance at a future. Then the sky splits open. Monsters descend upon the city, slaughtering everything in sight. Lucia fights to protect innocent people, but a D-rank Blightbearer tears through her defenses and lunges for her heart. Without thinking, Dante steps in front of her. The claw punches through his chest. Blood spills across the road. And the world changes. His blood rises into the air. A forbidden voice echoes inside his skull— [Mother System activated.] When Dante opens his eyes again, they burn gold. The monsters freeze. The air trembles. And the boy everyone called worthless smiles for the first time in years. “You spent your whole lives looking down on me,” he whispers. “Now learn what it feels like to kneel.” Three D-rank monsters disappear from existence in a storm of crimson light. Now the same academy that mocked him fears him. The same elites who treated him like dirt suddenly want his loyalty. But Dante hasn’t forgotten the laughter. And this time… the weakest boy in the world is no longer asking for acceptance.

Framed for embezzlement by his own CEO, publicly beaten by loan sharks, and stripped of his home, Ethan reaches his lowest point and attempts suicide. Instead of dying, he awakens the Infinite Cashback System ... an entity that converts every loss, humiliation, and injury into wealth, skill, or power, the magnitude of the reward matching the depth of the loss.

As Earth is revealed to be a mere "beginner planet" in a vast interstellar hierarchy, Ethan must decide whether to become a tool of that system or dismantle it entirely ... using the very power his losses created to free countless worlds from the cycle of exploitation that shaped him.

[SYSTEM ACTIVATED] [MISSION 001: ENDURE. THEN ERASE.] Now armed with god-level AI, encrypted power, and the raw fire of vengeance, Ethan is no longer the man they discarded. He’s the glitch in their system. The shadow in their servers. And the last face they’ll see before everything burns.
