My name is Liao Fan, I'm thirty years old, with an ordinary appearance and an ordinary family background. I work as a route planner at a travel company, basically the type who muddles through each day in the office, waiting for retirement. However, I don't have any grand ambitions; a monthly salary of over five thousand in this second-tier city allows for a comfortable life. Plus, I have a considerate, fairy-like beautiful wife, so I could say I'm very satisfied with my current life situation. My wife, Su Nan, on the other hand, is completely different from me. She grew up in a single-parent family but is exceptionally outstanding.

Silas Gray was never meant to enter the parallel world. After falling into a hidden reflection of reality, he is taken in by a man hiding among ordinary people—his guardian, Elias—and sent to WTRS Academy, where the Watchers train individuals with abnormal potential. Ranked last and placed in Null, the weakest division, Silas is mocked as a failure. But Null isn’t weak. It’s unfinished. As rival houses rise and shadows move, Han becomes a variable the Watchers can’t control—and a threat even they fear. Every choice is observed. Every secret has a direction.

Jaeho Han's father was his hero. A man built like Hercules who worked multiple jobs to give his kids the education he never had. But after the twins were born, the workload became too much. His father's health deteriorated silently, refusing help, hiding his condition even from his wife. He died when Jaeho was thirteen, leaving behind a grief-stricken mother who could barely look at her children without drowning in guilt. She lasted four years before she disappeared. At seventeen, Jaeho became the sole guardian of his five-year-old twin sisters, Jia and Serin. He worked multiple jobs like his father before him, scraping by on scholarship and sheer willpower. School became a nightmare—bullied for being poor, for being an orphan, for being a year older than everyone else due to his late admission due to making sure his sisters' education came first. But he endured it all without fighting back, because one wrong move meant losing everything. The debt piled up. ₩737,500,000. Over $500,000. Loan sharks circling. Bills suffocating him. He smiled for his sisters every day, but at night, he was drowning. One morning, desperate and broken, he helped a recently divorced woman at his laundromat job. She couldn't pay but promised to refund him once her banking app stops acting up, so he transferred his last ₩50,000 to help pay for whatever it was she wanted. Hopefully, it would return with a nice tip. A cyan screen appeared in his peripherals. [Ding!] [Cashback system activation requirement met!] [System binding in progress...!] [System successfully linked!] [Spent ₩50,000. 2X critical hit. Earned ₩100,000. The money has been transferred to account XXX-XXX-XXX] [Spent at least ₩50,000 on a lewd item for a MILF. Received 1 lottery ticket. Do you want to use it?] [YES][NO] "Wait, lewd item?" Jaeho questioned before looking at the woman with suspicion. For the first time in five years, Jaeho could breathe. But the system wasn't done with him yet. Every won he spent on mature, lonely women came back multiplied His father told him that as long as you keep moving forward, things will work out. Jaeho's about to find out just how far forward he can go. --------- Content Tags → Smut / R18+ → Harem, Comedy, Slice of life → System-Elements → Slightly towards Netori [Mc stealing and using others wife] → No Yuri → No Netorase / Yaoi / BL → System + Worldbuilding Driven

[WARNING: MATURE CONTENT: R18] "I spent seventeen years as a shadow, only to wake up as the sun." In his first life, he was Shino. A flicker of a human being, a ghost in the hum of a digital world. He died in the cold, hollow silence of regret, a degenerate heart finally giving out under the weight of a life never truly lived. But death was not an ending; it was a forge. He awoke in the skin of a God. Ren Camry. Eighteen. A Titan of marble and shadow, cast into the glittering, serpent-filled halls of St. Jude’s Academy. In this new world, his breath is a command, and his presence is a storm that the elite cannot weather. Yet, this perfection is not free. It is a debt written in neon and blood.

[The RETURNER FANTASY system has been granted to you in response to your dying wish] [Initiating regression in 3... 2... 1...] That was the voice Jeff heard in the final moments of his life—just before death claimed him. Or at least, that's how he remembers it, now that he's woken up twelve years in the past. Back to the moment when he still had a chance to change everything he thought had gone wrong. Forget the incurable disease. Forget the mystery of how he regressed. Forget even the holographic screen flashing in the corner of his vision. What matters now is the quest he's on—and the girl he's running toward. She had stayed by his side even when he had nothing. She forgave him for the foolishness that had torn them apart. She was there in his final moments, when regret overwhelmed him for never telling her how he truly felt. This time, he wouldn't make the same mistake. This time, he'd protect her—no matter what. Even if it cost him his life… or someone else's. [Warning: Contains Mature, Sexual, and Violence content.] This book will have a lot of mature and sexual content.
