This book is also known as: "How Programmers Turn a Crappy Game into a Timeless Classic with a Single BUG" Recently, the president of Nitiandang, Gu Fan, once again fell from grace due to a minor bug in his new game. As a top-notch designer in the industry, all of the games designed by Gu Fan have very distinct characteristics: At first, players felt that these games were monotonous, dull, and purely revolting garbage. However, once players discovered a major bug, the gameplay underwent a drastic transformation, rendering them sleep-deprived and unable to quit! So, players once again launched a major debate over "whether this is actually a bug or a game mechanic." In response to this, Gu Fan clarified in an interview with all seriousness: "Hello everyone, I'm the game designer Gu Fan, but you can also call me by my English name: fan·gu (means rebel). "I want to reiterate firmly that these so-called 'core gameplays' were not part of our company's original design—they are bugs! It's just that we didn't fix them because the players liked them!"

Those were this last words before his head went rolling on the ground. A hundred years passed and Rashin finds himself alive in the future. It turned out he was saved by a stray angel, and was granted a powerful energy that allowed him to stand on equal footing with the monsters that once wanted to take over earth.

My name is Azrael Veyrin. Once, I was just a man—an ordinary life, a loving family, and a peaceful end at 87. Or so I thought. I awoke in Akshak, an empty, lifeless world. Alone at first, I later witnessed the arrival of eleven beings—gods who shaped the land, each crafting a realm in their own image. Yet, I remained unseen, an anomaly even among deities. For 576.4 billion years, I wandered unnoticed—until they discovered the truth: I was the first, predating even them. Fearful of my existence, they sought to erase me. A war erupted, lasting 100,000 years. One by one, the gods fell. Only I remained. In victory, I found the Origin Core, unlocking lost truths: Earth had once been part of this world, sacrificed for its rebirth. My soul had been chosen to guide its evolution. With the gods' power now mine, I ventured into the void, seeking other realms, other Origin Cores—to forge a world of my own design.

In the midst of the battlefield, a deep crater—formed by the sheer devastation—lay before them. Among the ruins, two figures stood, gazing at the Shadow Demon, who was kneeling on the ground, gripping his black sword. "Now, perish, Shadow Demon." One of the two men spoke, raising his sword. "So… this is how I die? I failed to achieve my goal…" the Shadow Demon thought as he stared at the two men before him. " Bastard! If I am to die, I will take you with me!" he roared before detonating his core, triggering a massive explosion. BOOOOM! A deafening explosion echoed throughout the valley, leveling everything in its wake. Not a single mountain remained. — "What? I'm still alive? How is that possible? I remember detonating my core…" A young boy, around 13 or 14 years old, muttered to himself. Turning to the side, he was shocked upon seeing his reflection, but he quickly regained his composure. "So… I’ve been reincarnated once again." At that moment, a flood of memories surged into his mind. "In this life… my name is Drake Vexhart."

A fast-paced story of assassination picking off his adversaries and leaders one by one. How he attained a fearful reputation, worry not, because we’re cutting to the core of the issue with an insight into the real assassin's code. What’s more, a hallmark of the killings was made public as possible so as to sow maximum fear, overwhelmingly ending in the assassin’s death.
