This is a fantastical and inspirational novel that seamlessly blends urban rebirth, system-based storytelling, and workplace struggle elements, all underpinned by the core philosophy of Laozi’s Dao De Jing. The rebirth concept offers the protagonist a second chance to alter his fate, while the system-based structure adds a touch of the fantastical and provides a growth assistance mechanism. Set against the backdrop of an urban workplace, the story portrays the protagonist's journey through the corporate jungle, a struggle filled with charm that distinguishes it from traditional workplace or fantasy novels, pioneering a fresh narrative path.

“Who is the football GOAT?” A question that has been asked countless times in the last decade. Is it Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi? To be fair, the question actually depended on what one wanted from a player as they were two different people and they played differently from the other. This was also the case with every other legendary player to grace the game. As a diehard fan of the game, Jason Bolu also had someone he thought to be the goat, but unlike most people, he harbored the desire to not only become as great as them, but even greater than any legend that ever graced the game. He wanted to become the Greatest Of All Legends… the GOAL. Unfortunately, fate has never cared about people’s hopes and dreams, and just like every other unfortunate human, she hit him hard across the face with a broken reality and sent him flying in another direction from his goal, yet he didn’t give up and continually persevered but, in the end, he didn’t ever make it. He wasn’t even halfway near his goal. He thought it was over… but it wasn’t. He got another chance at his dreams, and this time he was going to do more than his best to achieve his dream. *disclaimer* There is no system or cheats, just plain hard work and a past life of experience.. Also, despite the use of real-life characters, places and things, this is an artistic creation in which things wouldn't be as they are in real life so don't be surprised at some things that are unrealistic and out of place e.g. exact details, attitude of characters etc. This is a slow-paced novel.

The universe brings forth billions of stars that shine and continuously increase like shimmering sands that sparkle so bright. A mighty celestial being arose toward the pinnacle of the universe to sprinkle seeds among the stars and planets, those seeds manifest the perfection of their creator. The stars become the shelter of those seeds that eventually turn into celestial creatures and living elements. Years passed, and they evolved and became powerful. The evolution of their genetic origins has exceeded the expectations of the mighty celestial being. Turned out, they are like gods that abode supernaturally across the Universe. Soon, they called themselves the Constellar beings that seem dominant among living beings in the galaxies and carry significant roles and responsibilities to maintain balance in the universe. However, greed and an ambitious desire for power and authority brought chaos and unrest to everyone. Some seeds were corrupted by evil Constellar beings and turned into dark entities hiding in every shadow on the planet, including Earth. However, the Light side ordered to eradicate them due to their rapid growth that seemed contiguous. But then, even with how many times they killed them, they still grow abundantly. The chaos in the universe became serious and intolerable, the rampant of those dark entities brought imbalance to the cosmic energy that seemed the dark energy distracted the flow of lights energy to maintain its foundation. The Draco led his troops to challenge the Crux, known as the Divine light that gives hope and inspiration to all good beings. The Crux is one of the most important Constellar beings who protect the souls of every creature in the universe. This Constellar was capable to purify them and empower them with divinity. But, the Draco knows what is the counter of Crux. So, Draco led with the Triangulum to nullify the existence of the divine light, empowering the darkness and summoning other entities through the use of triangular teleportation that enables them to pass through space without consuming time. This makes them accessible to any attack strategy. However, the Crux rightful authority encouraged other constellar beings to ally against the dark intentions of Draco's invasion. The warrior Orion is a tactician sworn to fight alongside light orders. Orion's soldiers were powerful and weapon's master warriors who used swords, shields, spares, and other rudimentary weaponry but also capable of enduring long fights and wars without rest. The Crux's power burst directly amid crowded dark entities that tried to enter the gates of light realms. But, still not enough to eradicate those aggressive creatures that devour every living creature in the realm that reached their claws and fangs. Although the Draco suppressed the Light through the voltaic eruption raining toward the very heart of the realm. Many lives could be killed as soon as it landed, but the Aquila sent a stormy wind to repeal it. Many of Draco's allies, like Corvus as Draco's messenger, Hydra, the sea serpent with many heads that breath water, lava, mud, and acids, and freezes anything by exhaling air. The giant Cetus controls sea organisms from different seas in the galaxies and summons them to attack. Although some of them were under Draco's mind control, they manipulated their mind by altering them into a dark mentality that ferociously attacked whatever Draco commanded. Only Crux can destroy the mind control of Draco through purification and the power of enlightenment, which guides all stellar beings to an ethical decision. Crux aimed for the salvation of the universe because it was contaminated by the dark entities' energy that absorbed and devoured star souls to create a formidable Universe. A lifeless universe will be a forbidden fate— called shadows of death! read full at the introduction.
