Description

Note: This story is being written as a hobby, so it's not perfect

Alex Carter was a 28-year-old graphic designer living an ordinary life—until a bolt of lightning cut it short. But death wasn’t the end. It was a clerical error.

Now, given a second chance by a remorseful goddess, Alex awakens in a new world as Alexander Arsine, the disgraced fifth son of a powerful family in a futuristic Earth transformed by a mysterious phenomenon known as Vexal—a rift dimension of sentient machines and living technology. In this world, power comes from Vexaline energy, and those who can wield it stand at the top.

There's just one problem: the original Alexander couldn’t use Vexaline at all, and his life was a mess of vice, failure, and humiliation.

Armed with memories of a broken legacy and a drive to survive, Alex must rise from disgrace to power. As he unlocks the dormant energy within him, he discovers he is not bound by this world’s expectations—and the Goddess who gave him this new life has one last gift: the ability to choose three powerful augments once he understands what he truly needs.

In a world of cybernetic beasts, elite families, and brutal ambition, Alex is determined to rewrite his destiny.

This time, he won’t waste it.
