Deryl Wiltson was a beggar who was always in front of a flower shop. He had just lost his job as a part-time worker, and his wife had dumped him because he was unemployed. Until finally Deryl met a nobleman named Elissabeth Moe, where the old woman was looking for a husband for her beloved grandson who was paralyzed. With an offer of a certain amount of money and being made head of the company, Elissabeth made the offer to Deryl. Initially, Deryl refused the offer until in the end, because Deryl saw that his ex-wife had remarried to one of the bank managers, Deryl was annoyed too. He immediately accepted an offer from Elissabeth to marry her paralyzed granddaughter, Serena Moe. During his marriage to Serena, Deryl was always looked down upon because the Moe family didn’t know his origins. Fortunately, Elissabeth had arranged everything so that Deryl became a businessman who owned a company to raise his self-esteem. After becoming head of the company, what Deryl did was help Elissabeth heal Serena, while showing his ex-wife, Miya, that he had become a successful man. Making Miya’s husband her subordinate, and making Miya regret having dumped him. While Elissabeth’s challenge was for Deryl to be able to cure Serena, then at the company she was able to convince at least three business relations so that she could actually become the owner of one of the Moe family companies and receive the inheritance promised by Elissabeth. Can Deryl meet all these challenges? Or did he choose to give up?

Seven years ago, a blue screen appeared before every human on Earth and promised a new beginning. Within a day, millions were dead. Now everyone has a System: a level, a rank, a worth measured in numbers. Everyone except Kael Draven. No level. No skills. No place in a world that treats the powerless as disposable. He has survived seven years in the ruins of New York by noticing what others miss, and he is still searching for the little sister who vanished the night his parents died. Then his team abandons him inside a dungeon that was never supposed to wake up. Kael studies the monster hunting him, finds the one thing it fears, and lives. And as it falls, the System flashes a message it was never meant to show: [WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW SUBJECT TO ACCESS THE CORE.] Why would the most powerful force on Earth be afraid of a man it cannot even see? Before he can find out, he touches a black relic older than the System itself, and every awakened user for miles loses their powers for three terrifying seconds. By morning, he is the most wanted man in Ironhaven. But Kael is done being the hunted. With a disgraced commander, a runaway scientist, and a loyal giant who owes him his life, he starts pulling at a conspiracy buried in the night his family was murdered. Every lie he exposes makes him more dangerous. Every rule he breaks makes the System more afraid. Everyone else grows stronger by obeying the System. Kael grows stronger by finding where it breaks. It named him humanity's greatest threat. It has no idea what it just created.

In my former life, I was a female healer, unaware of the true extent of my powers. My abilities caught the attention of an S-rank guild, and I was recruited with promises of prestige and respect. But instead of the honour I was promised, I was met with betrayal and cruelty. They saw me not as a person but as a tool to be used and discarded. I endured unspeakable suffering—raped,abused, exploited, and left to die when they no longer had use for me. But fate granted me a second chance. [Ding!] For enduring so much suffering until death, you have awakened the Pleasure system. You will be reincarnated into a new body. Would you desire any changes? I was reincarnated as a boy, this time gifted with the power to manipulate time and a pleasure system. As my abilities awakened, so too did the memories of my past life. The pain, the humiliation, and the injustice—it all came flooding back. This time, I vowed, and things would be different. I would not be a victim again. I would rise above the cruelty of my past and claim the power and respect I was denied. Yet, revenge is not my sole purpose. I will become the strongest, the richest, and the most influential figure in this world. I will amass power not just for vengeance but to ensure that no one can ever take advantage of me. As I ascend to the pinnacle of strength and wealth, I will claim what was once denied to me: control, respect, money, and the loyalty of those who once sought to destroy me.
