The Live Chapter 1

Life they say is filled with ups and downs but what do you do when it seems like your life is stuck at the downs?  From the heir of a prominent family to a useless live-in son -in-law with nothing acclaimed to his name, Andi Emerson went from riches to rags overnight and his wife's family showed him the true meaning of hell.  After his family went bankrupt suddenly, his father disappears into thin air and his mother gets laid back by a grave illness.  The people who once smiled at him and bowed at the feet of his family now mock him and maltreat him. But Andi didn't mind because amidst those turbulence of hate and underserved punishment laid a place called hope.  His wife, Taylor Simmons remained nice to him even after he lost everything but it was only a matter of years before she showed him her true colors and dumped him into the streets.  With nothing to live for and an ever piling debt at an hospital, Andi believed that alas, the turbulence had swallowed up his safe place and there was nothing worth living for but a face from his past resurfaces and that meeting changed his life forever.  Now he is no longer a useless live in son in law or a man to be maltreated but that wasn't the end of his journey.  With the mystery of his family's bankruptcy and his father's disappearance, Andi decided to solve it all and bring back glory to his home once more.  Trials and tribulations will come at him like the wind but Andi is ready and standing strong. He will never let the waves shake his boat. "Zeus has arrived and he's... Furious."

"Just leave him. He’s a scavenger—his life is worth less than the loot he carries." Those were the last words Lucian heard before his teammates slammed the dungeon’s iron doors, leaving him broken and bleeding in the dark. To the world’s elite Hunters, Lucian was just a "human trash bag," a Rank-F nobody meant to clean up their messes. But as the monsters closed in to feast on his flesh, a cold, mechanical voice echoed in his mind: [Ding! Life Force at 1%. Survival Instinct Detected.] [The God-Level Scavenger System is initializing...] [Target Detected: Corpse of a High-Rank Demon.] [Would you like to 'Recycle' it? (Y/N)] With nothing left to lose, Lucian reached out. [Recycle Successful! You have gained: 1,000+ Strength and the SSS-Rank Skill: Abyssal Devourer!] While others fight for glory, Lucian grows stronger by picking up what they throw away. Broken legendary swords? Recycle into Divine Artifacts. Trash-tier mana stones? Synthesize into Origin Cores. The corpses of gods? Extract their immortality. Now, Lucian is returning from the abyss. He isn't just coming back to survive—he's coming back to recycle every Hunter who ever looked down on him. "You called me trash? Fine. Let me show you how a scavenger cleans up the world."
