Aaron was the lone survivor of a terrorist attack launched by powerful AI-controlled intelligent robots. Although he survived, he lost his hand and heart, along with his memories, during the process. Thankfully, he was picked up and “repaired” by a good-willed scientist-cum-doctor. However, peace didn’t last long. As soon as he regained consciousness, another attack led by intelligent robots came. With death and gore scattered all over, Aaron, with the guidance of an intelligent AI assistant, Clara, escaped from the laboratory. As he embarks on a treacherous journey for peace and to rediscover his lost identity, he becomes the leader of an eclectic group of survivors. Serena, a powerful arcane user and Aaron’s beautiful friend; Max, a green-haired individual seemingly without purpose; and a bandit searching for his long-lost sister, among others. Join him on a mission of unparalleled danger!

Aaron San Agustin was never meant to be noticed. Born in the rural city of Crestfall, where secrets weigh heavier than the soil, he grew up under the shadow of poverty, fractured loyalties, and a family bound by silence. Burdened by the emotional wreckage of a complicated upbringing, Aaron made a quiet decision: to walk away from his past and build a life of quiet endurance in Velmont City—a place that promised opportunity, but offered only relentless struggle. By day, he worked tirelessly to make ends meet, sending money back home to his aunt, Coleen, who kept what little remained of his family afloat. By night, he fought the quiet war of loneliness, rejection, and humiliation—particularly from Elena Layne Fonte’s affluent family, who saw him as nothing more than a poor farm boy clinging to their daughter’s light. But through it all, Elena believed in him. Where others saw nothing, she saw purpose. Her love became his only sanctuary. Then, fate intervened. In a moment of distracted frustration, Aaron mistakenly invested $10,000—nearly all he had—into an obscure digital currency on his outdated smartphone. Ridiculed for his recklessness, he braced for collapse. But the currency was BITX, and within years, its meteoric rise transformed him from invisible to invaluable. Not only did Aaron become one of its largest shareholders, but he was also selected—by means unknown—to receive the Black Diamond Card: a mysterious, elite pass granting him unlimited access to networks of influence, power, and wealth few could imagine. With quiet precision and the same humility that once made him forgettable, Aaron began to reshape his life—and the world around him. But power brings new shadows, and not everyone welcomes his rise. Old secrets from Crestfall stir, dangerous eyes begin to watch, and the quiet farm boy no one believed in becomes a force that neither the elite nor the corrupt can ignore. From forgotten to formidable, Aaron San Agustin is a story of quiet rebellion, impossible odds, and the uncanny twist of destiny that turns broken beginnings into legacies.
