John Leighton had lived the good life -- after years of hard work, he built and sold a successful chain of LAN gaming cafés, earning enough to retire early. He owned a house, a car, money in the bank, and all the freedom he had ever wanted.
Then came the lightning strike that ended his life in his late 30s.
When he opened his eyes again, John was no longer a man but a newborn baby in a Los Angeles orphanage in 1980. He was accompanied by the memories of a great person, giving him knowledge and insight beyond his years.
Though he mourned the life he lost, he soon realized this new world offered something greater: a chance to rise higher than ever before.
As tech giants, billionaires, and political elites competed for his attention, John began to build his empire -- determined never to lose it all again.
He wasn't just starting over. He was aiming for the top.

I wanted to start translating this novel again after completing my last one, so I started reading it from the beginning to get back into the story.


I had changed the MC's age from 15 to 17 and wanted to check the later chapters to see if this change would cause any issues. After reading up to Chapter 125 on WTR-Lab, I found that there are indeed some problems in the later chapters because of this change.


The novel also contains a lot of pro-China content, along with the usual racist elements found throughout the story. More importantly, after reading up to Chapter 125, I realized that I am no longer finding the story interesting enough to continue translating it.


Therefore, I am marking this novel as abandoned and closing the project.


Thank you all for your support and understanding.
