Abandoned by the woman he loved for a man who represented everything he could never be...wealthy, powerful, untouchable—he is forced to confront the brutal truth of his existence. His home is nothing but a decaying room near a slum, his future looked nonexistent, his worth measured in what he could provide. When despair drove him into the night, it nearly cost him his life. On the brink of death, a mysterious voice offered him a single truth: “In this world, only wealth grants the right to live with dignity. Will you succumb or will you arise and conquer?” With no strength left to resist and nothing left to lose, he accepted his cruel fate and chose. What awakened was by no means a blessing but a predatory system that allowed him to steal wealth itself.

Gerald Burn. He was a mercenary, a soldier known as 'the devil from hell' and held the 'number one' position in the special forces. His abilities, which were beyond ordinary human capabilities, made him feared by every opponent. Every step he took reeked of death, his presence revered by his comrades. One month ago, he managed to find the family that had been separated from him for twenty-five years. His superiors allowed him to meet his mother for a month, on the condition that he accept a special mission: to single-handedly rescue hostages from a terrorist camp after returning from his family visit. Unfortunately, a tragic fate befell him. He died in a bomb explosion. When he woke up, a system appeared before him. The system explained that he had died and been revived in a new world.

His mother or the people closest to him in the new world?
