He, having the fierce beast Chaos sealed within his body, was abandoned by fate and became a drifting seed that arrived on an ordinary planet. By chance, he obtained a system created by his grandfather, and from that moment, the wheels of fate began to turn! He is the king of the mercenary world, the number one assassin in Asia, the underground emperor, the detective, and the largest global business tycoon! He loves only one person, yet heaven itself seems to play tricks on them both. She smiles gently and says, "Through all rivers and mountains, consider it as a prelude; I will always wait for you, even if you come late." He arrogantly laughs and says, "I stand at the peak of everything, just to tell the world— you are my woman!"

It hurts, doesn't it?" he murmured, his voice a dark caress that sent a shiver down her spine. Amelia nodded, her eyes never leaving his as she felt the wetness between her legs grow even more. With a smug smile, Enzo's hand moved from her thigh to cup her left breast, his thumb flicking over the nipple. It was a gentle touch, almost soothing after the sting of his slap. But she knew it was a prelude to something more. He leaned over her, his hard length pressing against her thigh. She felt a thrill of fear and anticipation. This was it the moment she'd been dreading and craving all at once. He reached for his belt, unbuckling it with a smoothness that spoke of experience. Her eyes widened as he freed his cock, standing tall and proud before her. It was thick and long, a stark contrast to the tenderness of his earlier touch. She knew what was coming, and she was both scared and excited. "Look at me, Amelia," he whispered, his eyes dark with need. She met his gaze, her breath shallow and uneven. He positioned himself between her legs, his hand guiding himself to her entrance. Her body tensed as she felt the tip of his erection against her. "Relax," he murmured, his voice soothing despite the intensity in his eyes. "This will only hurt for a moment."

"Know nothing. See nothing. Be nothing. Forget everything that you think you know of this reality where you now exist. Only then can the Nilverse fulfill its purpose to you." CK may be the honorable salutatorian, but this does not stop the Institute of the Nonaphrontistery from putting her on trial and accusing her of unethical practices to accomplish her thesis. The people once believed this would be the most difficult aspect of CK's life as a wordsmith, but the outcome of the trial was only a prelude of what was to come. And this is true; for what reason should one limit themselves to a single world when the Empire spans across worlds in the Vast Expansion? This is a place where fairytales are the cornerstone of a noble's society; where systems answer the call of the ambitious but not call them special. This is a place where only a single empire conquers all, and where a page of history is questioned in the era of peace. This place is not a story, but a journey that begins with a trial before Knowledge herself. Come, bear witness, and applaud the recital that is about to unfold! *** Prologue: The introductory volume. Students are meant to be nurtured and sheltered by the schools that took responsibility. But when the school has turned against one of their own, shall this be the sign of the student's downfall? To CK, probably not. It does make an excuse to do things she wasn't allowed before, though.

Synopsis Will Pandora's Box of Human Cloning Be Opened? In 1997, Dr. Ian Wilmut of the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland, introduced the world to "Dolly," the first cloned sheep. By 2015, the American company VIAGEN PETS had become the first in the world to clone deceased dogs and cats, producing hundreds of cloned animals and establishing itself as the largest animal cloning company in the United States. In May 2023, a baby with DNA from three parents was born at the Newcastle Fertility Centre in the UK, made possible through mitochondrial replacement technology. As of 2024, we find ourselves in the age of AI, with expectations that AI will soon evolve into AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), capable of thinking like humans and even surpassing human intelligence. AGI is anticipated to address long-standing challenges in genetic engineering and biotechnology swiftly and effectively. But what happens when human desires come into play? What if a beloved child, spouse, parent, or even a renowned politician or scholar passes away? With sufficient funding and stable technology, could they be cloned? Even in the Bible, the birth of Jesus is described as asexual reproduction. According to Christian doctrine, Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. This event, known as the "virgin birth," signifies a departure from the typical human reproductive process. This belief is a foundational doctrine of Christianity, underscoring both the divinity and humanity of Jesus. While the concept of asexual reproduction differs from traditional scientific reproductive methods, it is viewed through the lens of faith as divine intervention. Currently, biotechnology is advancing rapidly in most areas, with the exception of core somatic cell cloning. This progress is gradually resolving uncertainties and instabilities while pushing the boundaries of what is deemed divine. A top-down approach, which entails completing surrounding technologies before developing nuclear weapons and only adding the warhead when conditions are right, is already being applied in genetic engineering and biotechnology. In the United States, violations of the Human Cloning Prohibition Act can result in penalties of up to 10 years in prison or fines exceeding $1 million. If someone is willing to take that risk...? The Pandora's Box of human cloning is already upon us.

Kirata lived a peaceful existence, like someone walking leisurely down a familiar path, in a world that seemed as common as the air he breathed. However, one day, without warning, something inside him, dormant and latent, awoke violently, forever altering his reality. Suddenly, his life ceased to be a refuge of calm and became a constant struggle for survival, where each step pushed him toward an uncertain fate, teetering on the edge of the unknown. That reality, once secure and familiar, began to crumble like a landscape seen through a shattered mirror, revealing a hostile world, full of shadows and invisible dangers. Kirata, faced with decisions that challenged the very essence of his being, had to choose whether to cling to his principles or sacrifice them to save those he loved, even if it meant losing a part of himself in the process. Amid that overflowing chaos, love, like an unexpected lightning bolt, emerged through the cracks in his soul, further complicating his internal battle. Kirata realized that survival was only the prelude to a much larger and more devastating war, one that threatened to consume everything.

A short tale serving as a prelude, an Alpha of Days, The Beginning of The Beginning

The center of the universe. The undisputed victor. The one who ultimately wins hearts and undoes enemies with a triumphant smile. That is the role of the protagonist. And all in their orbit are merely supporting characters in the epic that is their life. As for me? I was just a writer, whose words seldom echoed beyond the silence of my own mind. And when they did, it was in the form of a novel – my sole outcry in the vastness of literary oblivion. Until the day the thread of my life snapped… and in the blink of an eye, I was reborn. Inside my own work. With clenched fist and resolute soul, I faced the new reality. Reincarnating into one's own story seems promising, right? To be the immortal hero, the aura of invincibility, the inevitable romances. Except no. The plot twisted and I returned not as the hero, but as an extra – an NPC in the affable terminology of gaming. Away from the spotlight, on the fringes of adventures and loves, I am just a figure that completes the backdrop for others to shine. And honestly? What a relief! Why, you might ask, do I not wish to be the chosen one? Simple – protagonists are magnets for mishaps. Living on the edge of calamity? No, thank you. Death and I have already crossed paths; dramatic pretexts can keep their distance. Thus, I summon to the heavens my heartfelt thanks for this second anonymous chance. “Let me enjoy a stable life away from the limelight,” I plead fervently among tears of joy and resigned smiles. Yet, stifle that laughter. Know that these words, uttered in the innocence of a fresh start, would soon prove to be the prelude to an involuntary comedy. Because, it seems, even an extra can find themselves face to face with destiny. And so begins the most unexpected of journeys – one where the smallest of pawns may, somehow, change the game.
