But it will have Action, Adventure, Humor, Slice of life. It will be kinda wish-fulfillment (Of course, readers) type novel with a logical, step-by-step progression. Every event and reward follow a realistic flow, set in an alternate Earth free from racism, nationalism, gods, or aliens. No over-the-top cheats... just strategy, ambition, and the power of the right decisions. FOR EXTRA CHAPTERS: 500 coins gift (Fanvalue) =2 extra Chapters. Hello everyone, author here. My review with this info seems to be shadow banned, so I'll post it here. 1 – It’s going to be a long, *very long* journey (at least, I hope so), so you don’t need to worry about it ending abruptly or getting axed. 2 – The story is set in an alternate world with a completely different history and timeline after WWII, so you can expect lots of fun, surprises, and adventure. 3 – This won’t be your typical urban novel. It has its own unique worldview, characters, and plot. Unlike many other Chinese novels, we’ll be diving into the details to help you better understand the world and the story. 4 – The pacing will be... let’s say balanced, not too fast, not too slow, just right for an enjoyable read. It will be a bit slow paced in beginning though. 5 – As for our MC, Rex, well, I can’t reveal too much just yet. He’s still growing and doesn’t have a fixed personality early on. But overall, he’s smart, optimistic, determined, and has a realistic sense of justice. He’ll definitely help if he can, but he won’t go over the top or act like a saint. and sometimes he can be you can say *ahem* a bit over the top, but will have proper reason. 6 – The novel is kind of a hybrid: part regression story without cheats, and part system (cheat) novel, but with actual plot and character development. You’ll get the best of both worlds. Of course, it's not just this it's a proper story with perfect worldview and won't be limited to genres. 7 – Business will play a major role in the story, but not in a dry, info-dump style. Expect more of a “business wars” vibe, with strategies, rivalries, and growth. 8 – The entertainment industry will be another big focus, though mostly from the perspective of company ownership. As for Rex personally debuting... we’ll have to wait and see. But one thing’s for sure, he’ll be keeping a low profile in the media for a long time. (I mean, who wants to be under public scrutiny 24/7?) At this rate, I’m going to spoil everything! Anyway, there won’t be cultivators, gods, aliens, or portals to other worlds. This is an urban story and it’ll stay that way, grounded in reality (with a twist, of course).

What if money was power? What if capital was magical? What if income was cultivation? What if a young man decided to destroy this unjust world of inequality and build a better one? That was exactly what Cæ (Cash) sought to do amid grief, anger, and hatred when he lost everything in an accident. Having come from nothing in the slums, his only goal had been to live a good life. By the age of twenty-two, he had finally managed to pull himself out of poverty with a decent job and romance. And then he lost everything he had ever built in an accident that left him in a coma for half a year. The world deprived him of the only person he had truly come to love. The predatory healthcare system burdened him with debt. The corrupt justice system deprived him of justice. The financial system robbed him of everything he owned. For the second time in his life, Cæ had been left with nothing. Well, almost nothing. The accident and the ensuing coma had altered his brain and mind, giving him an extraordinary talent for cultivating and mastering magic. He had been blessed with Acquired Savant Syndrome, a medical condition so rare that there were very few instances of it ever having occurred in history. It gave him endless potential and remarkable power. It gave him the power to destroy the world that he hated from the bottom of his heart. It gave him the power to destroy it and build a better one. And that was exactly what Cæ set out to do.

In 2030, humanity faced its first true collapse…not by war, but by the sudden invasion of Nightcrawlers, creatures emerging from darkness itself with the desire to devour sunlight at all cost for their evolution. But, they could not absorb it directly since it was as deadly to them as to a shadow under the noonday sun. They could only absorb the sunlight from lifeforms or through signing a nocturnal contract to possess their bodies, providing them with direct sunlight immunity. Within twelve hours, over four billion people perished as Earth was split between eternal night and day. Just as extinction loomed, Holy Light Pillars descended from the heavens, purging one thousand cities from Nightcrawlers and offering humanity sanctuary under their divine light. A century later, in the Heliodor Region, an innocent child found his world turned upside down after two mysterious nightcrawlers invaded his home, slaughtered his parents, and ripped his eyes out of their sockets, leaving him permanently connected to the Shadow Dimension, the home ground of Nightcrawlers. Was it just a random feeding session for them, a planned assassination, or it goes deeper than this? Follow Levi’s journey as he weaves between darkness and light, chasing the truth hidden in both.
