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.

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.

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!"

OH MY GOD—WHAT THE ACTUAL F*?!** Cultivators?! Bus-sized lizards?! WHY IS EVERYONE FLYING AND THROWING FIREBALLS?! Oh, right. I died. At first, I thought, Wait… I know this! I’ve read hundreds of cultivation novels! I can use my knowledge to get ahead! Yeah. No. Turns out, knowing a bunch of tropes doesn’t stop some core formation bastard from exploding my core because I breathed too loud. It doesn’t keep demon beasts from EATING MY FACE OFF. And it sure as hell doesn’t give me a cheat system, a divine artifact, or a hidden master to guide me. So now? Now I just die. And kill. And die again. And somehow, some way, I keep crawling back up—because if I don’t? I’ll stay dead. And after everything I’ve been through? SCREW THAT.
