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.

The world blinked. His body flickered like a shadow in candlelight and vanished into thin air, leaving the room empty and pristine.


A moment later, outside the private residence, Nebula finally pulled the door open. Zhi Yan stepped in immediately, her sharp gaze sweeping the room as her heels clicked lightly against the floor.


Her eyes immediately found Li Liu seated on the couch, tablet in hand, the display mirrored onto the large television across the wall. A glowing map of the Yanhuo Range flickered in the dim light, lines and red marks still fresh from Li Liu's notes.


Zhi Yan's brows lifted slightly. She pointed at the screen.


Li Liu's heart skipped a beat, but she forced her face into a calm smile.


"Nothing serious," she said, keeping her voice even. "Just looking over the region where Lin Fang will soon go for the trials. I was marking some of the danger zones."
