Dexter stood before a limousine, handed a key and ten thousand dollars by a butler who would not look at him, officially severed from the Ashford family. He turned to face his three new wives, Mira Calloway paralyzed in her wheelchair, Lyra Vance deaf and mute, Selene Frost blind and shivering in the cold. The wedding had been a nightmare of convenience, a trap set by the three great families who thought they were marrying the firstborn heir but got the bastard instead. That night, as Dexter fed Mira, guided Lyra with typed notes, and carried Selene to bed, something shifted. A golden system materialized, the Ten-Thousandfold Investment Multiplier, and for the first time in his life, he had power. The system demanded he invest in his wives, and in return, it would multiply his efforts a hundredfold. The first investment came when thugs arrived demanding protection money, and Dexter sacrificed his last five thousand dollars to protect the women, earning a fifty-thousand-dollar return, an E-rank mana affinity, and the Flame Demon bloodline. The game had begun.

A siren wailed across the neighborhood as Dark Hounds poured through a dungeon breach, tearing through streets and homes. Dexter, still a lowly Tier 3 Awakened Hero, barricaded the doors and armed himself with a decorative broadsword. The beasts broke through the kitchen window, iron bars snapping like paper, and Dexter fought with desperate fury. He killed a 4-star Hound, then a 5-star, then a 6-star beast that nearly took his head. But the turning point came when he saw his wives sitting in the bedroom, waiting for death without a struggle. Rage ignited his bloodline, and he activated Scorching Fury, slaughtering wave after wave. The system upgraded his multiplier to 100x, and he received a cascade of rewards: a Type 3 Macro-Splicing Sabre, the Extreme Slaughtering Demon Body technique, and talent cards that could restore his wives abilities. By the time heroes arrived, Dexter stood covered in blood, surrounded by corpses, transformed from a nobody into a rising force.

A sniper round shattered the SUV window as Dexter drove his wives home from the hotel. The assassin, a Superhuman-level killer, pursued them across the highway, wielding twin lightning-infused swords. Dexter drew his Macro-Splicing Sabre for the first time in real combat, unleashing Spatial Cleave to counter the thunder attack. The battle was brutal, Dexter took a blade through the abdomen, but his Eternal Buddha Endurance Scripture and Flame Demon bloodline kept him alive. He killed the assassin, extracted his talents, and learned the name Lord Voss, the man who wanted his wives dead. That night, as Dexter lay bleeding, the system delivered a ninth-tier cultivation technique, the Primordial Universe Star Scripture, a method that bypassed shattered meridians entirely. He gave it to his wives, and they began to cultivate again for the first time in years. The breakthrough rippled through the house, Mira reached Superhuman realm, Lyra and Selene awakened second talents, and Dexter himself broke into the Superhuman realm, his body becoming a vessel for infinite power.

Dexter entered the Hero Association to obtain his license, joining a team of four other candidates in a simulated dungeon. The test escalated rapidly, from Dire Wolves to a 3-star Alpha, then an illegal 4-star Armored Bear stampede that nearly killed his teammates. Dexter held back, waiting for the moment to strike, and when the bears charged, he unleashed his full power, killing the Alpha with a single blow and slaughtering the rest. The examiners were stunned, Dexter had cleared a scenario meant for Superhuman heroes. He received a Gold license, the highest rank, and a direct offer from Director Klein to join the Association. But the victory came with a cost, the assassination attempt on his wives had been orchestrated by someone powerful, and the threats were only growing. Back home, Mira, Lyra, and Selene had awakened second talents, Mira gained spectral arms, Lyra developed telepathy, and Selene could see through vibrations. The family was healing, but the shadows of Lord Voss and the Ashford family loomed ever closer.
