Eternal Despair: The Heart-Eater’s Harem
Aerin Valcor lived and died on modern Earth as a failure. Plain-faced. Academically weak. Invisible to a society that only rewarded talent, beauty, and power. His life ended without achievement, without love, and without being remembered.
Death should have been mercy. Instead, it was an invitation.
Aerin awakens in a brutal fantasy world and is reborn as Rimmer, a child born into a system where magic defines worth and weakness is punished without hesitation. Within moments of his rebirth, he discovers a mysterious Key embedded deep within his soul. When opened, it unleashes a forbidden system, one that does not reward kindness or heroism, only ambition and results.
Rimmer does not seek justice.
He does not seek to save the world.
He seeks power, desire, control, and recognition. Everything he was denied in his first life, he will seize in this one. Through deception, dominance, and relentless growth, Rimmer enters an elite magic academy, not to learn, but to climb. Nobles, prodigies, and saints stand in his way, unaware that the greatest threat among them is not a hero.
It is a man who remembers what it means to be powerless.
And has sworn to never feel it again.
