Book 1 of the Codex System Series. ***** In the fantasy world of Terra, people are divided into two kinds: Those who have mana and those who don’t. The registered mana users are called hunters, and the ones without the mana are called plainfolk. Lin Fang, unfortunately, has been the latter since birth. But his misfortune didn’t end there. After his father’s sudden demise, his mother remarried, leaving him and his sister in the hands of his grandmother. But later, his grandmother also passed away, and his sister moved abroad, leaving him all alone at just 16. All he had left was a struggling pet shop and his late father's unfulfilled dream of making it thrive. Fifteen years later, Lin Fang is drowning in debt, betrayed by his unfaithful wife, and addicted to alcohol. His life has hit rock bottom. Filled with many regrets, he jumped into the river to escape this suffering. But when he did, he neither died nor ended up in the hospital. Instead, he found himself regressing 7 years into the past, with a mysterious Prehistoric system activated by a pendant he had carried since birth. Now, with the power to command monsters and carrying the knowledge of the future, Lin Fang set out to redo his life, whether it is becoming the strongest tamer to control prehistoric monsters, getting his true love he had walked away from before, or becoming the richest businessman. **** Do comment and give power stones or golden tickets to support the author.

[WELCOME, GAMBLER!] That was the first message Judas Crown saw when the slot machine blew apart in a burst of purple light. One moment he was wasting his last dollar in Las Vegas Casino and the next-- [HAREM ROULETTE UNLOCKED!] [SPIN OR DIE.] Judas quickly learned the rules: 1. Every spin rewrites his fate. 2. Quests are mandatory. 3. Leveling grants new powers—whether he wants them or not. But there’s one twist: Judas "wins." Every. Single. Time. And that’s the problem, Because the system decides what “winning” means. His stats skyrocket (But the quests scale with him.) His luck breaks probability (But every "miracle" drags him into deeper danger.) And he earns reward after reward (With a cost he didn't ask for.) Now Judas has one goal: Play the game. Break the wheel. And make sure the house never wins.

But in the ancient mansion of the noble Sanjaya family, Noel has just completed an ancient ritual-one performed only once every five centuries. The kingdom's ministers gather in silence, witnessing the birth of a new 'Aksesa,' a mysterious title that has served as the hidden pillar of the Carta Kingdom for millennia. On the other side of the city, in a small cafe about to close, Arka is fighting to finish a college assignment, battling sleep and dreaming of his grandfather's steamed chicken. He has no idea the storm is no ordinary weather... or that his life is being irrevocably changed. Two nineteen-year-old men. Two worlds that have never collided. One ancient cycle awakening: The Dark Period. As the kingdom braces for a cataclysm that strikes only once every five hundred years, a buried secret begins to crawl from the shadows. And when destiny finally brings Noel and Arka face to face, one of them will discover he is not who he thinks he is. Because sometimes, a kingdom's greatest hero... is born in the most unexpected of places.

In a world where fantasy and reality are intertwined, a lonesome writer tries to have a happy ending. This is a story about stories.

Ryuk Yongsun, the man once called the Strongest Under Heaven, dies atop a mountain of corpses — only to open his eyes again in a world without qi, swords, or sects. Earth. A world ruled by technology, where “cultivation” is just a word in old novels. But the Kingmaker Necklace that followed him across worlds whispers of what’s to come: towers piercing the sky, monsters spilling out, and a war that will decide who rules this new era. Armed with the experience of a thousand battles, Ryuk swears to use his second life not to conquer, but to protect. To become a king of peace, not blood. …It’s a shame history never remembers the kings. Only the one who ends them.

As he contemplates the advantages of traveling back in time and how rich he'll become by copying future novels, songs, and business ventures, he realizes from the conversations of those around him that this world isn't his old one, and that instead of going back in time, he's transmigrated to another. A world where people have the opportunity to gain superpowers and devour devil fruits upon becoming adults. Matthew manages to obtain the Logia-type Flame-Flame Fruit from the Holly Land, where people gain their superpowers. However, after obtaining the Devil Fruit while he was observing others entering and exiting the Sacred Realm, he encountered a strange sight. Someone got Kryptonian Bloodline! "Why does everyone treat the Kryptonian Bloodline like a useless power? Oh, in this world, sunlight doesn't reach Earth. So, doesn't anyone know how the Kryptonian body is strengthened?" At that moment, Matthew makes a decision that will change the fate of the world he finds himself in. "Hey, can you exchange your Kryptonian Bloodline for my Flame Flame Fruit?"

She opens her door to a letter that makes no sense: “Your memories are the legal property of Elyon Drayce Industries.” She has never met Elyon Drayce. She has never signed anything. She doesn’t even remember losing a single moment of her life. But someone has taken one year from her mind, and the billionaire who claims to own it looks at her with a familiarity that shouldn’t exist. Expecting a legal fight, she storms into Elyon’s skyscraper. Instead of lawyers, she finds him—brilliant, controlled, and feared by almost everyone. Yet the moment he sees her, the composure shatters. His voice softens. His eyes follow her like he has been waiting for her to walk back into his world. And she can’t decide what scares her more: that he might be lying, or that he might be telling the truth. Elyon insists she came to him willingly. He swears the missing year was the most important part of her life. He warns that someone is hunting her, and he is the only one who can keep her safe. But he refuses to explain what she meant to him before the memories disappeared. Then the threats begin. Strangers follow her home. Her apartment is ransacked. Someone tries to force their way into her mind. And through it all, Elyon steps in—too fast, too intense, too protective, as if losing her once nearly destroyed him. The mystery deepens when a terrified boy clings to her and calls her “Mom” with absolute certainty. Enemies whisper her name like she’s the key to something they want. Elyon looks at her with a heartbreak he can’t hide. She doesn’t know if she should trust him. She only knows her heart reacts to him before her mind can catch up. Every moment she spends with him feels like falling back into a story she lived once, loved once, and lost. To survive, she must face the truth hidden in the year she cannot remember—and decide whether to walk away from Elyon Drayce, or step into a dangerous past she doesn’t recognize but her heart refuses to forget. Her memories may belong to him on paper. But her heart is a different battle. And in Elyon Drayce’s world, love is the most dangerous thing she can recover.
