… “One fifty.” I heard someone shout. “One sixty.” Another said immediately. “Two hundred.” “Five hundred thousand dollars.” “Five hundred thousand dollars, going once, going twice, sold.” Cesar announced and everybody clapped. “What was that?” Drego barked. “What?” I blinked, my smile slowly dissipating. “Why did you agree to stand up there? And looking like this for that matter.” I frowned. “Like what?” “Did you enjoy the fact that men were bidding on you like some prost—” My palms flew and landed on Drego’s face before I could understand what I was doing. “You don’t get to judge how I decide to look. Who the hell do you think you are to judge me? I did what I did for charity. You’re my boss, don’t cross any lines.” I turned around to leave. “Wait. Nichole I’m sorry.” He said more calmly. I looked at him again. “Because I told you that I was in love with you doesn’t make it okay for you to get involved in my personal life and decisions.” “It’s not like—” “Don’t worry. The day I quit was my first day getting over you. You don’t have to worry about that crazy talk. I’m over you. And I’ll leave your company the second you find my replacement and you won’t have to see me anymore.” “Nichole please listen—” “Drego, you’re up.” Reid came outside. His expression changed. It was no surprise. The tension between Drego and I was palpable. “Is everything okay?” Reid asked. “Yeah.” I replied. “We are done here.”

Prologue: The House That Remembers The train never should have stopped. Not here. Not for me. Yet, the moment the wheels screech against the tracks, I know—this place has been waiting. For how long, I cannot say. Time does not move naturally in the mist. I step onto the platform, and the cold clings to my skin like something alive, something with fingers and breath and memory. The sign above me is broken, its letters long faded, but the graffiti scrawled beneath it is fresh. One word, written in frantic, uneven strokes: ECHOES. A gust of wind stirs the fog, and for a split second, I see them—figures in the mist. Watching. Listening. Remembering. I clutch the slip of paper in my hand, the only clue I have. Find the House That Remembers. I don’t remember writing it. But I know the house is already waiting for me. And it does not forget.

Have you ever imagined what would happen if you died, but some powerful being decided to reincarnate you and offer you the freedom to choose any world and powers you wanted? What would you choose, to be reborn in a sci-fi world with your own ship to explore the stars, to become a god in a godless world, to be reincarnated surrounded by hot girls, to become the most powerful person? All good choices but not the choices I made. My name is Jackson. I was chosen by one of the Primordials, Brakos, the Primordial Spirit of Time, Stories, and Knowledge, and given this exact choice. We talked, and he offered me any world and powers. I gave him my views and wants for my new life, and one was that I wanted to become powerful, but I wanted to work for it, or else I felt I wouldn't deserve it. Brakos agreed and we started to plan. As I don't like to waste opportunities I did ask for 3 powers. 1: to be reborn with a system-like ability stored inside of 3 books. 2: to be given the power to converse with Spirits forge contracts with them and ask them for help. 3: to be given the power to create a new race of my own creation and become one of them. Brakos liked my plan and selected a very special world. The first world to ever exist. Primus is the world of the Primordials and Primogneitors. Follow me through my adventures as I make friends, run from my village being destroyed, fall in love, take over a school, dismantle criminal organizations, destroy an entire kingdom, fight against the gods and establish a home for myself and my new race, the Dragonians. _____________ Additional tags: BL, Supernatural, High IQ, Werewolf, Academy, Kingdom Building, the strong acting weak, Evolution, Mystery, Non-Human _____________ Not a harem or romance novel.

Synopsis: The House at the End of the Lane Amir never believed in ghosts. The old, abandoned house at the end of the lane had always been the subject of terrifying village rumors, but he dismissed them as mere superstitions. However, when he returns to Kampung Sempadan after years away, something about the house feels different—darker, more sinister. Strange whispers echo through the night, shadows move behind the cracked windows, and every step he takes seems to be watched by unseen eyes. As Amir digs deeper into the house’s past, he discovers a horrifying truth buried beneath decades of silence. Some doors should never be opened. Some houses should remain abandoned. But something inside that house has been waiting for him… and now, it won’t let him leave.

But unknown to everyone, Lin possesses a rare and long-lost ability: he can see and interact with spirits. While most people dismiss him as eccentric for talking to himself, Lin knows better—spirits are everywhere, whispering secrets of the past and lurking within the sect's hallowed halls. Some are mischievous, others wise, and a few... dangerous. However, his gift has never helped him in the one place he needs it most—his mother's death.

To forge his destiny, Lin must contract spirits, cultivate his spiritual power, and unlock his true potential... All while trying to uncover the truth about his mother's murder...
