Underdog Rise

Lucas Johnson was nothing more than a poor, overlooked student. He was mocked, humiliated, and used as a pawn by the wealthy elite. But everything changed the day he inherited his family’s vast empire. Overnight, the bullied became untouchable, armed with wealth, power, and a burning desire for vindication. Yet, freedom and fortune came at a cost. Lucas quickly discovers that his university rivals aren’t the only enemies plotting against him. Betrayal lurks in the most unexpected places. Amongst his friends, lovers, and even his own family harbor secrets that could destroy him. To survive, Lucas must scale through a treacherous world of corporate warfare, social power plays, and family conspiracies. He’ll need brains, strategy, and a ruthless streak he never knew he had to outwit those who underestimated him—and reclaim what was always rightfully his. In a world where status defines survival, Lucas must rise—or be crushed under the weight of his inheritance.

In the Empire of Solara, magic is biology. You are either born with a "Core," or you are "Dross"—worthless commoners used as disposable labor. But Drogo Vance is worse than Dross; he is a "Null." His body acts as a magical void, a condition that makes him a pariah, useful only as a living sponge to absorb toxic magical waste for the highborn. Drogo endures the agonizing poison of the nobility’s excess magic for one reason: to buy medicine for his dying mother and shield his gifted younger sister, Elara, from the Academy’s predatory recruitment. But when an arrogant Duke’s son uses Drogo for target practice and pushes him into the Chasm of Forgotten Gods—a pit where raw magic goes to die—Drogo does not perish. In the crushing dark, his Null physiology resonates with an ancient, sealed entity. [System Initialization: The Abyssal Archive Awakened.] [Host Attribute 'Null' detected. Conversion: Infinite Capacity.] [Legacy Unlocked: The God of Entropy.] Drogo returns not as a mage who borrows power, but as a predator who devours it. He can strip a Grand Wizard of their magic with a touch and turn their own spells into dust. The "Good Commoner" died in the pit. The "God-Slayer" has risen, and he is very, very hungry.

With his head low and a thick skin, Jake’s rise from ashes is a spectacular sight that puts him on top of the food chain. What will he do when those who tormented him are now at his mercy?
