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.

The protracted 'witch hunting' had faded into silence with the end of the Seven Years' War, and the mysteries of the East Coast had begun to conceal themselves, yet gunpowder was on a rapid rise. Mo Qishang, who should have been utterly confounded, stood at the crossroads of destiny in the name of Arthur. He stared in astonishment at the charging knights, the wizards atop the high towers, and the bizarre wilderness. He felt the sharpness of the longsword and the recoil of the firearm, both clear and unfamiliar. At last, he excitedly shook his robe and, with a smile on his face, said— "Do not believe what I say, for to believe is to exist!"

Kenric Wulf is a minor lord in charge of protecting the Kingdom of Yareth's Northern Border. It is a thankless, gruelling task. So, when instead of the reinforcements he constantly requests, he gets the duke's daughter, Elizabeth Fliangris, as a fiancé instead, he understandably doesn't care.

However, despite her disgrace, Elizabeth is capable in many ways beneficial to Kenric. Having been sent her might just be an incredible blessing in disguise.

After her mother’s death, Celestial was raised by the Everscent pack, where she learned the ways of werewolves. But at age six, tragedy struck when a dark lord from the Daredevils vampire sect attacked the pack to claim a piece of the powerful moon gem hidden by her father. Her father died protecting the pack, and the One Order arrived too late. The One Order, an authoritative group of supernatural beings, rescued Celestial and took her in.

Alongside her allies – Lyra, a talented warlock; Kael, a brooding vampire; and Zephyr, a swift lycan – Celestial embarked on a journey to stop the dark lord and uncover his dark plans. As Celestial's journey unfolded, she realized her destiny was greater than she ever imagined: to unite supernatural creatures against a common enemy. The fate of the world now rested on her shoulders. The battle between good and evil had begun, and Celestial, the hybrid warrior, would lead the charge to protect the future of the supernatural world.

CLARIFICATION FROM THE PERSON IN CHARGE: Hello, I am the "author" yes this is not my novel nor do I intend to appropriate it. I'm just a fan reader who loved The Second Coming of Gluttony and wanted to read her previous novel, I mean this one. I want to clarify that the translation is done from Korean to English by chatGPT but the Old dogs of Asian novels know what it was like to read novels translated by machine translation and in my opinion AI does it in a much more competent way. For all this and seeing that the translation of the novel never arrived, I decided to do it on my own and share the results. REAL SINOPSIS: A man who had lost everything. An almighty power, the [Zero Code] held within his hand. “Player Kim Su Hyun, do you truly wish to revert the time of Hall Plain?” “I want to go back 10 years. To the period when I first came here.”

"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)

Shauwa charges at Takeshi with a roar, his weapon swinging wildly. Takeshi meets him head-on, their weapons clashing with a loud, metallic sound. The boys watch in fear, huddling close to each other. Shauwa grinning wildly as he swings his weapon "Is this all you’ve got, Takeshi? I thought you were supposed to be strong!" He laughs, trying to taunt Takeshi into making a mistake. Takeshi focused, voice steady "You’re underestimating me, shauwa .That’s your first mistake." He counters Shauwa's attack with precision, his movements fluid and controlled. Meanwhile, Azdal watches the battle with a cold, calculating gaze. His eyes flicker between Takeshi and the boys, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Azdal in thought, planning "Takeshi is strong… but even he can protect the boys and fight at the same time.

“Get away from me,” I mutter, clenching my teeth in anger and pain. “Hmm?” Sophia rolled me onto my back so she could see my face. “Get away from me!” The first few words were quiet, growing louder and louder until I knew I was yelling. I got to my feet, my hands clenching into fists. I felt a stinging pain all over my body as something seemed to grow out of my back. I couldn’t even control myself at this point. I charged at Sophia and pinned her against the lockers. Her eyes looked at something behind me in horror as a dark shadow spread over her face.
