The Ruined Death Knight

Ethan Hayes was set to inherit everything — until his own family buried him alive to take it. Framed for his grandfather's murder and left for dead at a construction site, he's rescued by a reclusive billionaire and rebuilt over five years into one of the most powerful men in the world. Now Ethan is back in New York under a new identity, dismantling the empire that destroyed him with the help of Isabella Carter, the lawyer who never stopped believing him. But the closer he gets to the truth, the more it unravels: his brother, not his stepmother, has been running the conspiracy all along — and the mentor who saved his life had his own reasons for choosing him. Ethan finally has the power to destroy everyone who wronged him. The only question is what kind of man he'll be when he does.

In a kingdom where dragons were exterminated a hundred years ago, magic is controlled by the noble Mage Houses, and knights are treated as expendable soldiers. The male lead, Leon Valcrest, is a seventeen-year-old orphan serving as the weakest knight apprentice in the Royal knight Academy. He has no mana, no family crest, and no future. Despised by nobles and mocked by fellow trainees, he survives by doing dirty work for the Royal Knight Order while dreaming of becoming a Royal Knight. During a catastrophic attack on the capital by abyssal creatures, Leon is betrayed and left to die beneath the ruins of an underground basement. There, he discovers a chained black dragon buried beneath the earth. As he lies dying, he accidentally awakens the sealed bloodline of the legendary Dragon God.

Now hunted by the Mage Houses and pursued by demons from the Abyss, Leon must uncover why the dragons disappeared and why the world fears their return. But the deeper he digs, the darker the truth becomes: The royal family itself was built on dragon genocide. And Leon may be the last heir to the throne they stole.

In the soaring spires of Altheria, magic determines a man’s worth. To be born without it is to be a ghost in a city of gods. Kaelen was a ghost—until the day he tried to die. When Kaelen plunges into the dark waters of the Great River, he doesn't find death. Instead, he awakens a forbidden interface: The Arcane System. This is no ordinary gift of the heavens; it is a cold, clinical accountant of agony. Its rules are simple: mana is for the blessed, but Despair Points (DP) are for the broken. Every bruise from a noble's fist, every insult spat in the mud, and every memory of failure is now a deposit in Kaelen’s account. With his new system, Kaelen can purchase what nature denied him: artificial mana veins, shadow-walking abilities, and the dark secrets of the very Academy that shunned him. But the Arcane System is a demanding master. To maintain his new power, Kaelen must keep the "market" of his misery volatile. He must enter the Academy as an uninvited guest, face the golden boy who tried to break him, and survive the scrutiny of the terrifying Inquisitors. Kaelen spent eighteen years as a victim. Now, he’s an investor. And he’s about to prove that when you have nothing left to lose, you have everything to gain.

​When the Mana Collapse comes, the surface world will burn. Everyone knows it—except the elites who siphon the realm's energy to fuel their lavish lifestyle, discarding the working class the moment their Mana Veins burn out. ​Han was one of those working-class casualties: a top-tier Logistics and Barrier Strategist betrayed by the High Hero and left for dead. But Han didn't die. Equipped with precise foresight and an intimate understanding of the realm’s architectural flaws, he purchases the dead obsidian mine nobody wants. ​Under the guise of a failing, debt-ridden mining venture, Han recruits the forgotten: blacklisted dwarven blacksmiths, overworked construction laborers, and discarded healers whose mana is deemed "insufficient." Deep below the surface, they aren't just digging for ore; they are constructing Sanctuary—a fully automated, geothermal-powered underground metropolis protected by God-tier mana barriers. ​When the Mana Collapse hits and mutated beasts devour the surface, the corrupt Hero flees underground, demanding absolute control over the last safe zone. He expects a cave full of peasants. Instead, he marches straight into a God-grade kill-zone built by the very people he threw away.

Martin Whitlock, a seemingly perfect billionaire CEO, is stabbed and thrown off a cliff by Miller, his identical twin brother who grew up in bitter poverty. But death refuses to claim Martin.

Because the ultimate revenge isn't murder; it is absolute poverty.
