Book 1 of the Codex System Series.
*****
In the fantasy world of Terra, people are divided into two kinds: Those who have mana and those who don’t. The registered mana users are called hunters, and the ones without the mana are called plainfolk. Lin Fang, unfortunately, has been the latter since birth. 

But his misfortune didn’t end there.

After his father’s sudden demise, his mother remarried, leaving him and his sister in the hands of his grandmother. But later, his grandmother also passed away, and his sister moved abroad, leaving him all alone at just 16.

All he had left was a struggling pet shop and his late father's unfulfilled dream of making it thrive.

Fifteen years later, Lin Fang is drowning in debt, betrayed by his unfaithful wife, and addicted to alcohol. His life has hit rock bottom. Filled with many regrets, he jumped into the river to escape this suffering.

But when he did, he neither died nor ended up in the hospital.

Instead, he found himself regressing 7 years into the past, with a mysterious Prehistoric system activated by a pendant he had carried since birth.

Now, with the power to command monsters and carrying the knowledge of the future, Lin Fang set out to redo his life, whether it is becoming the strongest tamer to control prehistoric monsters, getting his true love he had walked away from before, or becoming the richest businessman.

A fiery jolt seared his spine. His vision swam, turning everything blurry for a second.


Light flared before him, and the tiny direwolf puppy materialized in front of him.


"Black…" Lin Fang's lips barely formed the name.


In response, the puppy raised its tiny paw.


A radiant golden aura blossomed, washing over him like liquid sunlight. Warmth surged through his shattered body. Fractured bones knit. Tore flesh sealed. Bloody wounds closed up. The pounding in his skull eased to nothing.


Lin Fang sucked in a sharp breath, feeling the entire pain leave his body. He pushed himself upright, and every injury was gone as if they had never been.


Before him, Black started growing to its giant form, as big as 12 feet, and its level was pushed to 33. The luminous direwolf then planted itself between Lin Fang and the masked assailant with its eyes glowing with quiet fury.
