The world, born billions of years ago, has been shaped and transformed by humanity's relentless drive for evolution and innovation. Over the ages, countless myths and legends emerged, igniting belief so powerful it birthed a force akin to creation itself: faith energy. This energy, fueled by humanity's collective consciousness, began to reshape reality in subtle but profound ways. Guided by a mysterious being, a formless guardian charged with maintaining balance, a plan was set into motion. Using the collected faith energy, the guardian crafted a new world — a perfect mirror of Earth — and duplicated a fragment of every human soul to inhabit it. But even the formless one, with all its knowledge, could miscalculate. In a twist of fate, some actual souls, not wisps, were reborn in this parallel realm, leaving their original bodies lifeless. One such soul belonged to Ariase Ruiz. On an ordinary evening, as he returned home, a wave of blinding light washed over him. Time stopped for everyone else, yet Ariase alone felt his soul shift, untethered. When he awoke, he found himself in a world eerily familiar yet unmistakably altered, his body regressed to that of his twelve-year-old self. But as Ariase steps back into the halls of his former school, he realizes that everything is different — his world has changed, in ways he cannot yet fathom. Now, Ariase must navigate this rewritten reality, unravel its mysteries, and come to terms with his place in a world that is both his and not his at all.

In a world where everyone is a slave, someone is born who cannot be controlled. At the same time, an unstoppable villain rises on a quest for revenge. But the truth is darker than he ever imagined, and now he must face an unbeatable enemy — including himself. *** Bruno was a young man born on Earth, the son of an influential modern Emperor. Despite having everything money could buy and receiving the best and most rigorous training to succeed his father, he chose the opposite path, defying his family’s ruthless rule. The price of his innocence? A merciless death and the complete erasure of his existence by the deity controlling his fate. On Earth, the law of the powerful was absolute; a slave could never rebel. But then, he wakes up again. He’s reborn in a world of cultivation, where freedom was promised to those strong enough to claim it. Now, he could soar like a free bird and carve his own destiny... or so he thought. The harsh reality of this new world soon showed him how insignificant he still was. He realized he had only changed masters. The freedom he sought was an illusion. The heavenly laws treated everyone as servants, and their rules were unbreakable. Bruno learned this bitter truth after losing everything that made him happy due to an unjust rule. But who was he to question? Hopeless, Bruno died... and was reborn as Alm, an unstoppable villain. With a soul poisoned by pain and vengeance, he sowed chaos across the universe. Planets were destroyed, countless lives taken, and his name became synonymous with terror. A hero rose to oppose him, wielding a sacred sword of hope. People from all corners of the universe united against Alm, raising their voices and weapons to stop the villain who defied the heavens. But Alm was no longer just fighting for revenge. He was challenging the heavenly laws that sought to control him, fighting fate and all living beings. And against all odds... the sacred sword shattered. The alliance of the entire universe was defeated. The villain won! Now, Alm found himself alone in the empty void of a dead universe, facing his own inner demons. Who could be more ruthless to him than himself? “What have I done?” At that moment, the doors of truth opened to him. Everyone was a puppet of a supreme figure, an entity that manipulated minds and even the heavenly laws. “I will find you, no matter where you are!” Thus, the last emissary of the true Heaven’s Will awakened. Alm, who once only relied on his sheer will and rage, now had a system to guide him. But his opponent was an immortal existence, above even the heavens. The villain who destroyed an entire universe now faced a new beginning. He discovered that the universe he devastated was just a tiny grain of sand in an infinite cosmos, where countless other universes existed. And so begins the legendary tale of the villain’s rise... and the Sacred Round God? A strange Duality of Shadows existed within one person. But this time, he wouldn’t be alone. *** To clear up any potential confusion or frustration, here are some key points about the story. I’ll avoid major spoilers, but a few things will be revealed. You might find this concerning at first, but just check the book cover—it shows the main character and his only partner. She first appears at 10 years old, but rest assured, there’s no inappropriate content or early romance. At around 13, SHE starts developing feelings for the protagonist, but he doesn’t respond until she’s an adult. With her determined personality, she tries to seduce him at 17/18, but it doesn’t work. Their relationship only happens much later. The book has nods to other works, with my own spin on them, and focuses on avoiding elements I find problematic in other stories. Lastly, the beautiful book cover was commissioned and created by HDIArt.

"You're mine," Zale growled, his breath hot against Soren's ear. "Every breath, every moan. No one else will ever have you like this." He thrust deeper, claiming his mate with primal intensity. "Feel that?" he hissed, nails digging into Soren's back. "That's the mark of my possession. You're never escaping me." His eyes glowed with a feral light as he pulled Soren closer, their bodies moving in a fierce, rhythmic dance. **** Zale is a snobbish wolf with severe anger issues. Soren, a tiger shifter, is the only medicine for Zale's issues that affect him because of their childhood connection. Regardless of that connection, their relationship was nothing to brag about; it was more akin to that of a master and a pet. Zale, the domineering master who seeks to destroy everything, particularly his loved ones, once triggered. And Soren, who is in charge of all his tantrums. He's a good pet, that's for sure. "If you want me, desire me, even only in the form of a pet. Then you'll get all of me, and I'll make sure of it.” (I don't own the picture on the cover)

The dimly lit room was cloaked in a shroud of secrecy, its walls lined with maps, photographs, and cryptic notes that spoke of unseen dangers and tangled networks. The air was thick with the scent of old paper and cigar smoke, remnants of a world where power was wielded in the shadows. In the center of the room stood a figure, his presence commanding and ominous. Ivan Petrov, the feared Russian mafia leader, was a man whose name had become synonymous with fear and control. His reputation for cruelty and cunning was legendary, and his influence extended far beyond the criminal underworld. He was a man who thrived in darkness, pulling the strings of power from behind the scenes. Petrov's gaze was fixed on a map spread out before him, dotted with various locations and coded symbols. His mind was racing, plotting the next move in a game of high-stakes manipulation and deceit. The room's dim lighting cast deep shadows on his face, emphasizing the harsh lines of his expression. "There are always new players on the board," Petrov mused, his voice a low, gravelly whisper. "And every player has a weakness to exploit." Across from him, a shadowy figure emerged from the corner, stepping into the faint light. This was not an ordinary operative; this was a figure of enigma and danger, known only by whispers and rumors. The Broker, a mysterious and elusive figure, was as much a legend as Petrov himself. Their meeting was one of necessity and mutual benefit, but the stakes were high, and trust was a currency neither could afford. "The game is changing, Petrov," The Broker said, their voice carrying a cold, calculated edge. "The dynamics are shifting, and new players are emerging. Your empire is vulnerable." Petrov's eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint reflecting in them. "I am aware of the threats," he replied, his tone laced with menace. "But I have survived this long by adapting and eliminating any threat to my power. Tell me what you know." The Broker stepped closer, revealing a set of documents and photographs that detailed a series of operations and individuals connected to a new threat. These were not mere notes but a roadmap to a larger scheme—a scheme that could disrupt the delicate balance of power Petrov had worked so hard to maintain. "This," The Broker said, placing the documents on the table, "is a precursor to what could be a major upheaval. There are those who seek to challenge your position, and they are more dangerous than you might realize. We need to act swiftly and decisively." Petrov studied the documents, his mind working furiously to assess the implications. The stakes had been raised, and the threat was imminent. The world of shadows was never static; it was a realm where power constantly shifted, and the price of failure was unforgiving. "This is not a game for the faint-hearted," Petrov said, his voice taking on a tone of grim resolve. "I will deal with these new threats as I have dealt with all others. But I will need allies and information. Tell me what you require." The Broker's lips curled into a faint smile, a gesture that spoke of hidden agendas and complex alliances. "We need to ensure that we are always a step ahead. I have my own interests and resources, but we must work together to neutralize these threats. The balance of power must be preserved." As they exchanged information and forged an uneasy alliance, the room seemed to close in around them, the weight of their plans and the shadows of their past looming large.

"What will you do if life suddenly offers you a second chance? When your heart freezes in fear and your hands tremble with helplessness... What will you choose? To give up or to fight? Welcome to a world where magic is not a privilege but a weapon wielded by the strongest. Here, there is no room for mistakes, and the price of failure is... Death." "After the anomaly on the Sun, the world changed forever. People began to be born with a mysterious organ — The Mana Core — that could grant extraordinary abilities. However, not everyone could awaken this power. Those who did became known as 'Celestials' — guardians of humanity standing on the border between the human world and the nightmare spilling from the mystical Gates." "Park Hyun Woo, an ordinary young boy from Seoul, South Korea has been forced to care for his younger sister after losing their parents, working tirelessly day and night. One day, he decides to change his fate and take the test to awaken his Mana Core. But his results are far from ideal: He becomes one of the weakest Celestial (Hunter), an E-rank holder. Yet destiny has something much greater in store for him." "Caught in an ambush within the Gates, Hyun Woo becomes the sole survivor of his group. Upon awakening, he discovers he has gained a unique ability — a System that transforms his life into something akin to a game. Now, a path of strength, struggle, and mysteries lies ahead, leading him to uncover not only the secrets of his past but also the true nature of magic itself." "Can Park Hyun Woo, starting from the very bottom, rise to the top? What price will he have to pay for the power to change the world? And who — or what — is behind the System that now controls his life?"

In this dark journey between chaos and creation, Lopkinnf will face enemies seen and unseen, as he discovers how far he is willing to go to save a world that seems beyond saving.

''Why.... WHY!!! YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKERS!!!'' His clothes were in tatters and marred in blood, with his body being barely able to function. His state was simply beyond recognition.
