A mistake. A stain on the family name. Those were the labels Adrian Cross grew up with. The day he decided to leave it all behind was the day his mother slipped into a coma. Though she had always placed his stepbrother above him, Adrian stayed for her. Enduring the elites’ humiliation and his father’s cruelty, Adrian gave up his secret identity to fulfil his filial duty. Then he was thrust into a bride selection deal, earning the elites’ uproar. Badly beaten, Adrian accidentally rescued a game company mogul who willed his company to him. Reeling from everything, Adrian raced to his mother’s side and found she was awake. His two years of effort reduced to scorn, Adrian’s resolve to finally cut ties with the Cross family was stronger than ever. His status-conscious family had no intention of letting that happen, though. They thought they had him right where they needed him, but Adrian levelled up the game. The Phantom is back. The Spider Network reactivated. As the elites scramble to know and recruit the same man they sneered at, everything they thought they controlled begins to unravel, and beside him, a phoenix stands to burn their world to ashes.
