Night fell over the village. The beast's corpse had long since been dragged away, the people whispering prayers of gratitude to gods that never answered.
I sat alone in the shadows of my room, eyes half-closed, as glowing text still lingered before me.
[Quest Active: Survive. Observe. Integrate.
Warning: Anomaly detected. Monitoring in progress.]
The System had tried to cage me.
I pressed my palm against the wooden floorboards, whispering a thought.
Disintegrate.
The wood dissolved into dust, vanishing into the void. Another whisper.
Integrate.
The wood returned, perfectly restored, as if nothing had happened.
The System responded instantly.
[Action Detected: Reality Override
Error: Operation Undefined
Warning! World Stability at Risk]
I chuckled softly. World stability at risk? From a single plank of wood? How fragile you are.
Curiosity burned in me. What else could I erase?
I closed my eyes and focused inward—not on objects, but on concepts. On sensations.
Disintegrate… fear.
A cold shiver rippled through my chest. My heartbeat steadied. Every trace of instinctive dread—gone.
[Warning! Tampering with Abstract Variables Detected
Restriction Protocol: Initiated]
A sharp pain pierced my skull, like needles driving into my brain. The System's attempt at punishment.
I smiled through it. "So, you can hurt me. How interesting."
The pain faded quickly. Too quickly. It couldn't hold me.
A knock at my door interrupted my amusement.
"Hey, you in there?"
It was a boy. My age—or rather, this body's age. Untidy hair, dirt on his cheeks, the wide-eyed seriousness of an innocent fool.
I opened the door slightly, letting my gaze fall on him.
"I saw you earlier," he said, voice trembling with awe. "When the monster was chained… I think it was you, wasn't it?"
So someone had noticed.
I tilted my head, forcing a small, hesitant smile. "That's… impossible. I'm just a child."
His eyes lit up. "No, I know it was you! You saved us! Please—teach me! I want to be strong like you!"
Pathetic. So easily deceived.
But useful. Very useful.
"I'll… think about it," I murmured, letting my voice waver just enough to sound unsure.
The boy's expression brightened with hope. He bowed his head and ran off, no doubt fantasizing about his future greatness.
I closed the door and laughed. Low, sharp, twisted.
The System flared again.

The daughter of the God of destruction and the Goddess of life. Her father has been dead ever since she was born, and her mother disappeared without leaving a trace. In desperate times, as she grew old, she decided to bring her father back to life. But she had no idea where her father was. So, with nothing else to use, she thought of just recreating him through reincarnation. But the reincarnation process needed a woman whose body was strong enough to host the reincarnated vessel. With no options left, she crafted smaller deities using her own fresh and blood. Many of them failed. But one whom she named Nanako succeeded bearing a child she then named Hajime. Yet Hajime wasn't exactly what she expected. Because he possessed dual souls from two different people who died simultaneously in another world. But she was unaware of them due to one of the souls having fragments of his memories from when he was still alive in his past life. The other soul had completely forgotten everything, but bit by bit as the individual called Hajime journeys this new world, the memories of the other soul would start to retain giving him split personalities.","pvNum":37595,"bookType":0,"checkLevel":15,"categoryType":5,"categoryId":70002,"categoryName":"Fantasy","coverId":1752500947101,"chapterCnt":57,"firstChapterId":"85770133305350361","lastChapterId":"90729554724844900","lastChapterName":"Dungeon Monsters","lastChapterTime":1758036665000},{"bookId":"33676027100836905","bookName":"Tale of an Unbound Ruiner","authorName":"TheChosen108","authorId":"31498982200315901","description":"Countless wars between humans and beasts forged today's world—a world that condemns weakness as sin and measures every man by strength alone.\n\nThalen Varkheil grows up in House Varkheil, a family that lives by the creed \"Strength is Sovereign.\" His father, Duke Azriel, stands as one of the indomitable pillars of their age, while his elder brother earns glory as a prodigy praised by all.
