Synopsis
Riven Hale experienced four wretched lives, each concluding with betrayal, failure, and hopelessness. He was unable to alter his destiny. At the conclusion of his fourth life, he unexpectedly finds himself back at the start of the first — the day he was compelled into an arranged marriage with Elisa Frostbane, the once-celebrated Frost Queen. Formerly an SSS-Rank prodigy, she is now paralyzed from the neck down, a victim of her envious sister’s plot. Both have been abandoned by their influential families, treated like useless tools, and left to decay in a secluded house on the outskirts of the city. This time, everything is set to change. [Temporal Delay Complete.] [Four-Lifetime Lock Released.] Four demonic Authorities that were sealed throughout his past lives finally emerge. The Authority of Gluttony transforms him into a Predator capable of consuming monsters to absorb their powers. The Authority of Greed amplifies every reward by a factor of 10,000. The Authority of Lust allows him to invest in his wife — each act of care and moment of dedication hastens her recovery while providing him with immense returns. The Authority of Pride designates him as a Lord, granting him the privilege to claim territory and ascend. The “worthless” unawakened failure and the broken Ice Empress are no longer powerless. With merely three years remaining until the Cosmic Monarch, the Abyssal Gaze, arrives to eliminate Earth, Riven must evolve at a terrifying pace. He intends to heal the woman whom the world discarded, exact revenge for every slight, and dismantle the greedy families that hoarded humanity’s sole chance for survival. They were cast aside by their families. The world deemed them failures. Now, they will rise together — and the returns will be undeniable. "You discarded us. Now watch us take everything."
