No ordinary human on Earth knew about the catastrophe that was approaching. Only Earth’s Guardians were aware of it. They had protected Earth for ages, but this time, they decided to give Earth’s youth a chance to rise. With the help of Angels, massive magical pillars descended across Earth. These pillars became gateways, sending the youth of Earth into different magical worlds where survival itself was a test. Each person would be sent to a separate world and forced to grow stronger or perish. Ji-Hoon was one of those youths. On Earth, he was just an ordinary human—someone who understood the cruel reality of the money system. He had no outstanding talent. He wasn’t good at studies, nor did he excel in sports. His relationships were broken, and eventually, he was thrown out of his own home. Ji-Hoon lived at a friend’s house. Although he had a few close friends, his life on Earth was nothing more than survival. To stay alive, he walked down the wrong path and committed crimes.

The only thing he possessed was his own will… which manifested as a mysterious Will Sprite that chose him.

Ren Wu died once. Two thousand years ago, he was the Imperial Chancellor who governed Hell itself—an Auditor who enforced cosmic law, taxed gods, and sentenced demons with a brushstroke. Then Heaven and Hell cooperated. He was assassinated before he could finish signing a decree meant to fix the cycle of reincarnation. Now, he has awakened in the body of a dying factory owner at the bottom of the modern Underworld. His wealth is his health. His business is survival. His enemies are corporations, gangs, ancient clans—and the government of Hell. While others cultivate to become immortal heroes, Ren Wu cultivates assets. He monopolizes supply chains. He weaponizes contracts. He turns gangs into employees. He turns ancient cultivation manuals into corrected instruction manuals. To Ren Wu, modern cultivators are not warriors. They are illiterate workers using corrupted translations of Hell’s employee handbooks. As Ren rebuilds his corporate empire, fragments of his sealed memories return… Why did his archaeologist parents send him an ancient coffin before vanishing? Why does the Administration desperately want him erased? Why does every ancient family’s sacred art trace back to Hell? To uncover the truth, Ren Wu must do what he does best: Acquire political shields. Build unions. Exploit loopholes. Rewrite laws. Because in this world… You don’t punch judges. You don’t sue gangsters. And you never fight the system. You become the system.
