"After three years of struggling and finally getting a permanent position, the restaurant he worked at shut down. Bai Ye, with a second-hand car from a small boss he had worked for, loaded up with junk and returned home. Unexpectedly, a system appeared. To his surprise, the system had a variety of features. Not only could it guide him in improving his cooking skills, but it also issued random tasks that helped him earn money, bonuses, and even menus. Eventually, Bai Ye, who was once destitute, relied on the system's 'golden finger' to gradually improve himself, working hard to exploit the system and step by step, rise to glory. ...

PrologueUnder the bruised purple sky of a city that never slept, Celine stood frozen in the doorway of her modest apartment, the betrayal unfolding before her like a slow-motion car crash she couldn't look away from. There, sprawled across her bed—rumpled sheets tangled around their naked limbs—was her boyfriend of two years, Jamal, thrusting desperately into the lithe body of her identical twin sister, Celeste, who moaned theatricall y with the kind of fake ecstasy reserved for gold-digging performances. Celeste's designer heels kicked lazily against the headboard Celine had paid for herself, while Jamal grunted like a man compensating for something tragically inadequate.The air thickened with the stench of cheap perfume and sweat, Celeste's manicured nails raking down Jamal's back as she locked eyes with her twin—not with shame, but with smug triumph. "Oops," Celeste purred, not even bothering to cover her perfect, surgically enhanced breasts. "Didn't expect you home early, sis. Guess the pencil dick couldn't wait."Celine's heart didn't shatter; it ignited. Five years of playing second fiddle to her family's golden child—the one with the "marriageable" beauty, the one who landed modeling gigs while Celine scrubbed toilets at Al-Miraj Grand Palace—had forged her into something unbreakable. She dropped her work bag with deliberate calm, the metallic clatter echoing like a guillotine. "Get out," she said, voice steady as desert stone. Jamal scrambled up, his pathetic erection wilting under her dissecting gaze. "Both of you. Now."Jamal stammered excuses, yanking on boxers that did nothing to hide his inadequacy. "Babe, it just happened—""Pencil dick," Celine interrupted, the words landing like lashes. "That's all you've ever been. Celeste can have your three minutes of disappointment." Celeste laughed, slipping into a silk robe, but Celine saw the flicker—envy for her twin's unscarred confidence, untouched by the scalpels that kept Celeste's face "marketable."By midnight, they were gone, leaving behind crumpled lingerie and a eviction notice Celine had printed from her phone. She didn't cry. She showered off their filth, dressed in her tightest black dress—the one Jamal always ogled but never appreciated—and stormed into O'Malley's Bar, the city's underbelly dive where forgotten women drowned ambitions in five-dollar shots.Three tequilas in, celebrating her "five-month anniversary" of fooling herself with Jamal, Celine felt the haze descend. That's when he appeared—a towering shadow in tailored black, hazel eyes burning through the smoke like predator's gold. Idris Al-Miraj, though she would never know his name that night, slid onto the stool beside her, his sandalwood cologne cutting through the stale beer stink."You're celebrating alone?" His voice was velvet over steel, accented with desert winds."Freedom," she slurred, clinking her glass against his scotch.

During Dr. Lennox's lunch break, I went to him for a consultation again with my little notebook. "Dr. Lennox, my brother has been having problems with his brain again recently. You're a neurology expert, so what do you think I should do?" Dr. Lennox saw through my ruse but decided to play along, "Your brother has had 'brain problems' eight times this month. Why don't you have him come in for an examination himself?" My brother's furious voice came from behind me... "Selena Sterling, you're ruining my image just to chase after a man!!"

Four powers divide the continent. The North, where warriors carve legends through sheer might. The East, where assassins move like shadows. The West, where Aura fuels a thousand machines. And the South, where tribes of the desert kneel to no king for they have none to unite them. Born under the light of twin moons, Someone carries an Aura never seen before a power whispered only in ancient prophecy. They who hear it say it devours all that stands between heaven and earth. While empires wage endless war, He grows within the sands a child blessed by the moons, and cursed by destiny. He is no conqueror, not yet. Only a boy with the mind of a tactician and the will to stand against the tide. When the time comes, the desert will tremble. And from its heart, a light will fall.

In the late stages of pregnancy, I was bringing lunch to my face-blind husband Dashiell when a frenzied grizzly bear attacked, tearing open my abdomen. I was left clinging to life. My husband, an animal behavior specialist, trembled as he rushed me to the hospital. He donated blood for three straight days to keep me out of danger. I was in a coma for two weeks, but my mind remained clear. That's when I fully discovered my husband's true nature. "Dashiell, as instructed the boy has been switched. Should we send him to the orphanage? Do we really have to..." "Stick to the original plan. Under cover of darkness, dump him in the wild animal area. A little snack for Grizzly." "Calm Ember down. Say it's my fault for not being careful, which caused her premature labor..." "Also, increase the dosage of my darling's medication. We can't risk her regaining her memories..." Motionless in my coma, silent tears streamed down my face as my heart shattered. The marriage I thought was blissful turned out to be nothing but agonizing pain and cold calculation. I will carry this hatred, expose the lies, and flee far away.
