Besides the cultivation adventure, this novel also focuses on romance, comedy, and the bonds between the protagonist and his fellow disciples in the sect. The author is not a native English speaker, so you can expect some grammatical errors in the novel. Please bear with me, and trust me, I am trying to improve it. Everything in this novel is pure fantasy based on the author's imagination. It does not reflect the real world. Hence, readers should not attempt to apply their common sense and logic to this novel. Constructive criticism is always welcome. ————————————— All rights to the cover belong to the original artist.

Follow Draco’s journey as he uncovers the missing pieces of the puzzle and the hidden truths about his past life. A/N: The novel entails a story about system holders. All ability Awakener have their own system, but in some classes, some Awakener are chosen by unique system, such as the Plundering System (MC's second system), Fox System, Thunder God System, Fire God System, Vampire System, Undead System and many more. I would say the novel has a foundation of magic with little Eastern Fantasy. It is a novel where the stronger prey on the stronger. You'll surely love it. As for the systems origin, I'll drop a hint: gods Please also note, the MC will be overpowered after the awakening of the Plundering System. However, in the beginning, he is just slightly above a genius fighter. Support this shameless Author with power stones, gifts and golden ticket Discord Link:https://discord.gg/zVzcJs2F

The gods don’t watch from the heavens—they walk among us. But now, a new player has arrived, someone who not only has talent but can evolve it.

"Do you believe in fate, Eun-jae?" That was the first thing Bes Karpov-Troitsky said to him, a lazy smirk curling on his lips like he already knew the answer. Like he already knew everything. Eun-jae should’ve walked away the second he heard that name. The second he realized the mission was bigger than just another arms deal gone wrong. But that’s the thing about fate—it doesn’t ask for permission. And now? Now he's tangled in something far more dangerous than he ever signed up for. A name whispered in the dark. A deal that could tip the world into chaos. And a man who plays games with life and death like he’s the one who invented them. Eun-jae was just supposed to gather intel, get out, and finally—finally—go home. Instead, he’s running for his life through the streets of Moscow, trying to outmaneuver a man who sees him as nothing more than a piece on the board. And the worst part? He doesn’t know if he’s the hunter anymore. Or just another name on Bes’s list.
