All that Jordan Rivers knew was that he was married to the granddaughter of a man he saved years ago. It was the old man’s plea as a way of rewarding Jordan for saving his life. He gifted him a wife. But soon after, the old man died, and life took a drastic turn for Jordan. Everyone turned against him. Including his wife. He became their servant. And then one day, the wife he had not touched for years approached him, claiming she was pregnant. But she decided to be honest. She had cheated on him with a guy in her class, and so, she asked for a divorce, and they ganged up and kicked Jordan out. While walking through the darkness, wondering where to go, he bumped into a gang assaulting a poor girl on the road. He decided to play hero, and he succeeded, but that left him in a critical state. He was bleeding terribly, and he blacked out. Weirdly, a ring he always wore absorbed the blood he was oozing, and strange memories started flooding his memory while he still lay unconscious - memories about his knowledge of martial arts, medicines, and the acknowledgment of the use of the power of the gods. He thought it was a dream, but he awoke with the same fresh memories lingering in his head. He sprung up from the ground with renewed energy. He scanned his body. Magically, all the blood had been sucked back into his body. All the wounds had closed up. He was scarless! Everything in him howled three things: him ascending the throne he deserved, taking revenge on all who bullied him, and unearthing the mysteries surrounding his family.

Nevertheless, before my demise, I sent my memories back to my younger years. This time, I will obtain everything: the best items, the finest women, and the most potent abilities. All will be mine!
