Dawn of times

**Synopsis:** In the year 2035, the world was forever changed when a second sun appeared in the sky. This celestial anomaly unleashed chaos, bringing with it monstrous creatures and reanimating the dead as relentless zombies. Humanity was rapidly pushed to the brink of extinction, unable to fend off the terrifying onslaught. In a desperate bid for survival, scientists developed hibernation pods to preserve a fraction of the population. Only one million were chosen to enter these pods, with the selection heavily skewed towards the government elite and the wealthy, who exploited their influence to secure their spots. Clark and his best friend David, deemed too weak, were turned away and left to fend for themselves in a crumbling world. For three harrowing months, Clark and David struggled to survive. Their partnership came to a tragic end when David was killed by a mutated tiger, leaving Clark alone in a nightmarish reality. Driven by the loss of his friend and the relentless pursuit of survival, Clark wandered the desolate landscape for two more years. During his journey, Clark stumbled upon a hidden cave containing an ancient artifact: a mysterious ring. The ring promised an extraordinary power—the ability to return to the past and alter the course of events, but with one limitation: he could only retain one of his current abilities. Realizing this might be humanity's only hope, Clark made the ultimate sacrifice, using the ring to travel back to the start of the catastrophe. Armed with his chosen ability, Clark is now determined to rewrite the future, prevent the rise of the second sun, and save his world from its apocalyptic fate. His journey is fraught with peril, but he carries the memory of his fallen friend and the weight of humanity's last chance on his shoulders.

He looked at the three options below and decided to choose Smartphone without hesitation. ------ SANDRO IMPAL was the young man who was also kidnapped along with Ariel Sacrado at the age of 16. The kidnappers also demanded a ransom money in exchange for his life. When the military raided the place where they were being kept, the kidnappers left him and chose Ariel Sacrado to escape with them. He was left unconscious on the chair while being tied up. When he woke up, he never saw the another young man with him ever again. This brought mental trauma to him as he kept blaming himself as to why he couldn't save that young boy. He dedicated his life on looking for the young boy until, at the age of 27, he found a trace of him and he tracked it down to the Nightmare Island. He was ecstatic and immediately conducted a raid together with the strongest military squad that has 1,500 members around the country. However he was dumbfounded when he found that the young man he knew before was the strongest assassin of Nightmare Island and he was known as Backup Shadow. The name doesn't imply that he was a literal back up assassin but because of the reason that every time he appeared, the authorities will always be helpless and couldn't catch him like a shadow. He also witnessed how he died because that was the second raid of the military against Nightmare Island and brought his body back to the Sacrado Family. He reported back that he found his body and also excluded his identity as the assassin. However, who would have thought that he will go back in time before the kidnapping happen.

This is the remake of the "Xian: Demon Hunter" series that I abandoned just to remake this. The story is also quite similar to the previous series and a new power systems is also gonna be added in the future chapters. The power systems was inspired by "Lord of the Mysteries" and "The beginning after the end" with the setting being in the semi medieval era with swords and magic. Peek of the said systems are as followed — Ranker or powerful beings are called mages with color representing their power, and a ritual is needed to move to another color. There was also so called "artifacts" and "cursed artifacts". There was also powerful churches that was also inspired by LOTM. There won't be much romance in the novel and will mostly into action and adventure so the tags are as follows— Tags:Action, Adventure, Fantasy, female-lead, Revenge. ... Two problems of mine about this novel is that every chapter only had 1900-2500 words on it and the uploading rate is only 2-3 chapters a week. That's a problem of mine since im still studying in senior high and im not quite confident about my English. But I'll try my best to fulfill my task and give a great idea to y'all. Thanks. -Tempua

"Sophia Frostford, herald as the hope of the Frostford Clan and a one-in-a-thousand years genius." "She has excellent control over the ice element and the blade, surpassing even that of the Head of the Knights who— subsequently— fell head over heels for her."

Then, can you consider sending me the Bloodroot herb for my potion?" [The Constellation of Earthern Desire scoffed at what you said and demanded more stories if you want something from it.] "Hah... how greedy you are." [The Constellation of Dream Weaving laughed at your boldness.] [The constellation of Sealed HellFire sighed at your negotiating tactics.] That's right. Sophia Frostford is— without a doubt— the protagonist of the world. Being the reincarnation of the Northern Star Constellation, this is only natural... "Hah, really..." But behind her— where no one sets their eyes on and just lurks in her shadow— lies a great liar. Her very own brother...or rather... a transmigrator from another world... Blake Frostford. While his sister gets praise from everywhere, he silently hid his secret from everyone— He can talk to sealed eldritch Gods. "Stay tuned, everybody! I'll be back soon!"
