After a tragic incident, young noble Lucien Lootwell falls into a coma and awakens later with memories from a past life in another world. Once a hardcore gamer, Lucien now finds himself in a fantasy realm where power is measured by strength, status… and the rarity of what you can claim.To his shock, his awakened skill, Drop Rate: MAX, is a broken skill that guarantees items from subjugated targets. While others struggle for scraps, Lucien pulls in legendary weapons, lost tomes and fortune beyond belief.But noble life is far from peaceful. Surrounded by rivals, political vipers and a secret tied to his cheats, Lucien must balance his past life's cunning with his new world’s expectations. As he builds a force from the ground up, one question remains. Was this reincarnation a second chance… or part of a bigger game he’s yet to understand?

There was a woman. Born as an illegitimate child and raised under the strict control of the queen, her world was as small as a well.

There was a man. He was forced to marry a woman who was his brother’s political marriage partner. His world, which was infinitely wide, became smaller.

The woman’s original sin, and the man’s resentment. “I should have just died instead…”

This story unfolds during the later stages of World War II, where a man, scarred by the horrors of war, finally grasps the profound and harsh realities of the world. In this world, those at the top laugh and celebrate, while those at the bottom sacrifice their lives in futile conflicts driven by pride and meaningless ambition.A modern soul transmigrates and fuses with the original soul of a body, creating a unique and extraordinary existence. To some, he is a villain; to others, a madman.In a world steeped in cruelty, this man, determined to secure a place among the decision-makers, struggles to break free from the ranks of those powerless to control their fate. To achieve his goal, he resolves to shatter the chains of law, then the chains of morality, and finally the chains of mediocrity.
