Norton Sage has always had a dream, which is to become a wealthy landlord with a large estate, allowing many people to depend on him for their livelihood, to hire a few secretaries, employ a bunch of henchmen.Relying on the 'North Star Divine Fist' cheat provided by his transmigration, he thinks it won't be a problem.It's just that luck hasn't been on his side...Attempting to become the King of Farming, he harvested nothing.Trying to become the Fishing King, he ended up empty-handed every day.Bodyguard King, Bounty King, Mercenaries King...None of them worked!So, he can only go and become the Pirate King!

“The Demon Lords are bringers of destruction, and among them, I am the strongest.”The Demon King has fallen, slain by the Hero in a battle that shook the heavens.After this, humanity knew a long era of peace and prosperity, with the hero now at the top of the world.Fifty years after the battle, the demon race is resurfacing, but now with the throne empty, they must fight for the emergence of the new Demon King. Meanwhile, the humans are preparing for the rise of the next hero who will oppose their archenemies.Born as a mere stable boy in a lower-class noble household, Bel has lived his life tending to the noble gardens, pruning roses for banquets he would never attend. He is nothing more than a lowly servant in a world ruled by noble bloodlines and magic.However, his fate changes when a demon attack devastates the household. As flames consume the estate, Bel is about to be executed in front of his master when their leader, a great demon, recognizes him as a member of a powerful species of monsters that had disappeared before the ascent of the previous Demon King.She calls him by his true name, awakening his true blood.The demon, intrigued by this discovery, decides to spare him out of curiosity and pity. Having learned about Bel’s true nature, his master, rather than executing him, chooses instead to bring him into the heart of his household, seeing in him an opportunity to elevate his family’s standing by binding a powerful being to his service.But power cannot be shackled forever, and among them, the one in Bel's blood is the most dangerous.

Some don't return at all.Dryden Sands survived that loop for ten years—until he reached Rank-A... and got killed by the person he trusted most.But the Sacred Codex he'd found had other plans—it reset everything to Day One.Now Dryden remembers everything—hidden dungeons, broken rules, future disasters.But the System remembers him...And in Thirstfall, anomalies don't just struggle—they get purged.--------------

After the Catastrophe, every rule in the world was rewritten.
