Rated 'Trash' but My Void Core Devours Gods

In this life, don't be a hero. Be selfish... and live for yourself." ​Arthur Valian was a failure who died as a pawn in a war against descending Gods. Born with a Grey Core, he was branded as "Trash" in a world where elemental power dictates your worth. He watched his world burn and his Queen, Seraphine, perish in his arms—until her final sacrifice triggered a forbidden time spell. ​Now, Arthur has returned ten years to the past. ​He wakes up in his dorm at the Imperial Academy, back to the day his misery began. But Arthur is no longer a naive boy. He carries the cold soul of a man who has seen the end of the world. He also carries a secret: His Grey Core isn't a defect—it is the "Void," an attribute capable of devouring magic, souls, and even the heavens. ​Guided by the [False Reputation System], Arthur begins a new path. He will build his power not through righteousness, but through fear and calculated shadows. From a despised outcast to a Shadow Merchant controlling the empire's economy, Arthur is no longer running from his fate. He is hunting it. ​The Gods are coming. But this time, they are the ones who should be afraid.
