Beneath the Burn
He lived a life no one would envy—a boy whose every breath was a curse. Bullied relentlessly through high school, betrayed by those he called friends, and abandoned by a society that turned a blind eye, he watched everything crumble: his dignity, his future, and ultimately, his family.
By the time he was fifty-nine, he was homeless, broken, and forgotten. His body was failing, but the rage in his heart had never cooled. In the dark, with blood in his throat and tears in his eyes, he died.
But death was not the end.
He awakens at fifteen. Same world. Same school. Same bullies. But this time, he remembers everything.
No longer the timid boy who once begged for mercy, he is calculating, cold, and driven by one purpose—revenge. He begins training under a reclusive, unhinged ex-MMA world champion with nothing to lose and fists like sledgehammers.
His body becomes a weapon. His mind, a battlefield. And this time, he’s not here to survive.
He's here to make them pay.
Each scream, each shattered bone, each broken smile—this time, they belong to them.
But the deeper he digs into the rot of his school and the powerful forces behind the cruelty, the more he realizes: this wasn’t just about bullying. This was a system. And he's ready to burn it to the ground.
