Little do they know that his apparent weakness and foolishness are merely an act, serving a specific purpose. [System host has been found...] [Requirement: Maintain a weak image for 10 years (completed).] [Congratulations! The Gods' Blessing System has been activated!] [Goddess of Fortune invests 'One Unlimited Black Card.'] [The God of Time and Future blesses you with the ability to 'Foresee Potential Investments.'] [The Goddess of Medicine grants you 'A Pill That Can Cure All Illnesses.'] [The Guarantors of Torture and Vengeance provide you with the 'Ancient Books of Magical Martial Arts.']

Quinn never believed in happy endings… and life kept proving him right. Then one night, a delivery scooter ended his miserable streak. This is where he finally rests, right? But death wasn’t the end—because now Quinn has a system. But he wasn’t granted the best kind that makes you rich or ridiculously strong. Nope. This one runs on suffering. Pain, humiliation, and endless setbacks are now officially his “level-up materials.” Thrown into a cultivation world as nothing more than a low-tier servant, with no power, no status, and no future, Quinn is forced to face a reality where every bit of pain, humiliation, and hardship is the only way forward. In short: life sucks, death sucks… and cultivation sucks even more.

The Death Toast is the ugly game that all the prisoners at Boorbunk Bay (the prison where the worst criminals are held) are made to play. The game entails the random picking of one of the inmates, whoever is picked in the ward is immediately executed. The Death Toast spelt soon to all the prisoners who thought they didn't deserve to be treated to the death sentencing 'game'. Nevertheless, things were bound to change for the hopeless and death-tormented inmates of Boorbunk Bay and the entire terrorism-stryck nation of Dexter Island when a set of entertainers were wrongfully arrested and locked in the prison for killing a politician. With a totally unjust society, insecure country and broken system in view, the future could only seem bleaker. If there had to be a reform, lives were bound to be lost, voices had to be heard, heroes had to arise!!

Having a crazy continuous dream like a drama series during my childhood, I realize I’m in the body of a character named Airis Absalom, daughter of the Absalom duchy. She happens to be an introvert, respectful and beautiful lady, but she died a miserable death, killed by the heartless mad future emperor, Aiden Alexander Ambrose. Not only her death, but also Ardiane empire’s total downfall. In order for me to not meet the same end and prevent the disaster I’ve seen, I made a deal with the hero, Azher Alexander Ambrose, the 4th prince. I promised to make him the next emperor in return for him to sponsor my world travel – trying to find a way to return. Living in this dream-reality, will I be able to return and succeed in saving Ardiane?

Rex and his parents were the scorn of their society, branded as the cursed bloodline because of their inability to awaken any beast in a world where the class of your beast determines your status, your future, and whether you live with dignity or die in shame. But Rex wasn't ready to accept a life of servitude and disgrace. He was willing to risk everything at the Awakening Ceremony for even the smallest chance at a different future. Instead, in front of hundreds of nobles, he awakened something worse than trash; a pathetic earthworm that became the laughingstock of the entire academy. At least that's what everyone thought he had awakened. In truth, Rex had contracted an ancient Lung Dragon, a legendary beast capable of endless evolution by devouring the essence of other creatures.

"Who am I?" Waking up in an unfamiliar room with no past memories, an unfamiliar man greets him, claiming to be his new guardian, Ifeus Lero, who then tells him... "Your name is...Topaz Oriole." A world of Magic and Monsters, where those who wield Magic are known as Mages. Every Mage, without exception, falls under one of eleven Classes, each with their own unique forms of Magic; Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light, Dark, Space, Physical, Support, Tamer and Sneak. As for Topaz, his amnesia isn't his only concern. His Class isn't one of the eleven established Classes, something that's completely unheard of. The Wrath Class, a mysterious Class absent in the history books. Advised to keep his abilities hidden for the time being, Topaz avoids using his Magic in front of others. However, Ifeus's secrecy soon becomes a growing point of frustration for Topaz...it's clear that Ifeus knows about his past, but refuses to tell him anything about it, along with hiding the real reason why it's imperative for Topaz to keep his Class hidden. Even as Topaz settles into his life post-amnesia, forming friendships, rivalries and romance, the dark shadow cast by the mysteries of his forgotten past continue to haunt him. With flashes of fragmented memories, and some common sense, Topaz comes to the conclusion that, whatever he went through pre-amnesia, was likely far from pleasant. And unfortunately for him, the dark, broken past he has no memory of isn't the only issue to contend with. An organization bent on world domination makes its presence known, and operating in the shadows, is a dangerous cult determined to resurrect a powerful, malicious entity who nearly destroyed the world centuries ago and was sealed away. And at the center of it all...is the Fractured Mage, Topaz Oriole.

Doran died a meaningless death, a weak-halo soldier impaled on a demon's blade. He died protecting his commander during the fall of Wall Iros. His last thought: Did my life matter? Then he woke up. Reincarnated as Soren Vail, the useless third son of a wealthy merchant, he's been thrown seven years into the past. The wall still stands. Commander Varris is alive. The demon hasn't attacked. And Soren's halo—still as stone when he was tested as a child is starting to grow. It shouldn't be possible. Now he has seven years. Seven years to train. Seven years to build a body that can fight. Would he fall a second time—or change the future?
