System: Daily login!!, jackpot on the first day!!!

It had been several days since Taufik returned to his family, and in those few days, the changes that had occurred on Earth had also become increasingly visible.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that every second, a crack opens somewhere.

Humans face another threat, but with the gift, the blessing that Taufik gave to Humans, Humans are not that defenseless against those rift creatures.

Countless islands, Cracks spewed out Rift Beasts, attacking humans indiscriminately, men and women, old and young, Rift Beasts attacked indiscriminately, Cracks continued to spew out Rift Beasts, and on the first day alone, countless lives were lost, reducing the number of Humans once again.

However, in the following days, with guidance from the replica system, humanity fought back. People even began competing to kill the Rift Beasts, not just to survive, but because each victory granted them strength and power.

Thus, in just a few days, the existence of the replica system in human life becomes a very important and irreplaceable asset.

Meanwhile, the one who made all this possible, Taufik, the new Earth's Aboriginal Being, is enjoying his time with his family as if everything that is happening in the world today is none of his business.

However, Taufik was not ignorant.

As he sat on the porch of his home, sipping a warm drink while listening to his family's stories about their daily life when he was not around, he was fully aware of the chaos unfolding worldwide.

The cries of battle, the roars of Rift Beasts, and the countless deaths, he could sense it all.

Yet, he chose not to interfere directly.

The replica system had already fulfilled its role, giving humanity the means to defend itself. Whether they flourished or perished was no longer his concern. He had provided the tools; now, it was up to them to use them.

Still, he couldn't ignore the deeper mystery behind the cracks. They were opening at an alarming rate, far beyond what he had initially anticipated. The Rift Beasts were not appearing randomly, there was an unseen force directing this invasion.

And that force was watching.

From the other side of the Cracks, something, someone was observing Earth, studying humanity's resistance, measuring their strength. Taufik could feel their gaze, cold and calculating as if testing the limits of his gift to humanity.

A faint smirk formed on his lips.

All of his being reacting to the unknown presence beyond the Crack.

Taufik could continue enjoying his peaceful days with his family, but he knew it wouldn't last forever.

Not only from the Crack. Even now, Taufik could feel it, countless observing eyes set their eyes on Earth.

Sooner or later, the true enemy would reveal itself.

And when that time came, only then will Taufik enter the game.

--------

After his return, every morning, Taufik woke up early, the first rays of sunlight barely peeking over the horizon. His body no longer required sleep the way it once did, but he indulged in the habit to maintain a sense of normalcy.

His first task of the day was always the same.

Checking the replica system.

With just a thought, his awareness expanded, scanning Earth's countless changes.

The cracks continued to appear, spewing Rift Beasts into various locations. Some rifts were minor, producing weak creatures that humanity could easily handle. Others, however, brought forth monstrosities capable of toppling cities in minutes.

Despite this, humans had adapted quickly. The replica system had turned them into warriors, capable of incredible feats that would have been unimaginable just months ago.

Guilds had formed, ranking systems had developed, and even competitions arose, some seeking survival, others chasing power.

Even now, as if not satisfied with just waiting for the Rift Beast to come out of the crack, a group of Humans who called themselves The Divers, even entered the crack directly.

This surprised Taufik a little, afraid that the entity behind the Crack would do something, but seeing that the Divers were able to return safely and even managed to bring resources from inside the Crack, Taufik breathed a sigh of relief and decided to let Humans do what they wanted as long as it was still within reasonable limits.

After that, like a comet, The Divers profession quickly became a trend, and from here, Guilds and the Ranking system were created.

Taufik does not judge those who use the replica system for evil, nor does he overly praise those who use it for good. He grants humanity the freedom to choose their own path, whether to walk in the light or embrace the darkness. This balance is the very nature of the universe; where there is light, there must be shadow.

Though he possesses the power to erase either side with a mere thought, he chooses not to. It is not out of cruelty or indifference, but because he understands that both good and evil are necessary for humanity to grow. True strength is forged in struggle, and only through facing both virtue and vice can humanity reach its full potential.

But no matter how chaotic the world became, none of it reached Taufik's home.

With a satisfied nod, he withdrew his awareness, shutting out the noise of the battlefield. The world would manage.

For now, his focus was on something far more important, his family.

--------

The Saranjana Castel was always lively once his children woke up. Their energy was boundless, and Taufik made it a point to indulge them.

Aksara, his oldest son, had grown even stronger under his guidance, though he still didn't fully accept the truth about his father.

Then there were his younger children, who knew nothing of war or responsibility. To them, he was simply their father, not a being of Concept, not a ruler of the Shadow World but just Dad.

He spent hours playing with them, telling stories, training them lightly in the ways of combat, not out of necessity, but because they enjoyed it.

Even among his wives, he found moments of peace. Jenn, always doting, often scolded him for spoiling the children too much. Others simply enjoyed his presence, relishing the normalcy of family life despite knowing how absurd their existence truly was.

Sometimes, Jenn's father, John, and her younger brother, Jay, would visit, bringing with them a sense of extended family warmth.

The D'Archy family, however, was more distant. Their grandmother had chosen to settle in the Kingdom of Saranjana after handing over her throne to Caldwell, but the rest? The rest remained in Great Britain, fulfilling their own responsibilities. Even so, Taufik knew they still acknowledged him, even from afar.

- Evening

As night fell, the family gathered for dinner. The table was always full, both with food and conversation. Stories were shared, laughter echoed, and for a moment, it was easy to forget the weight of the world outside.

But Taufik never truly forgot.

Even as he smiled at his children, even as he listened to his wives' voices, he could feel it, the gaze.

Something beyond the Rift, beyond the Earth, was watching. Waiting. Measuring.

It wasn't time yet. But it would be soon.

Once the children were asleep, Taufik's nights belonged to his wives.

It was a time of intimacy, of whispered words and stolen moments. For them, he was neither a warrior nor a god, just a man, a husband.

And so, his routine repeated.

Day after day, week after week, until a month had passed.

The world continued to change. Battles were fought. Kingdoms rose and fell. But within this small haven, Taufik lived an ordinary life.

--------

"...Guys, pack your things. Let's go to Planet Draco"

Silence fell over the dining room.

All eyes turned toward Taufik. The clinking of silverware stopped. The only sound was the flickering of candlelight against the polished dining table.

Jenn raised an eyebrow, setting down her glass.

"Draco? You mean..."

She paused, glancing at Rani, Anugerah, and Kaela before continuing.

"...Rani, Anugerah, and Kaela's home planet?"

Aksara, who had been idly poking at his food, straightened. His sharp gaze locked onto his father.

"Why?... I mean, why now? And is it okay for us to go when the world is like this, Father?"

Taufik leaned back, a faint smile on his lips.

"It's okay. The flow of time in Draco moves faster than it does here on Earth. Even if we spend a significant amount of time there, only a fraction of that will pass here"

His voice was calm, yet carried undeniable weight.

"This isn't just a theory. I know it from personal experience. And... I also want to fulfill my promise to your mothers, Rani, Anugerah, and Kaela. It's been a long time since they've seen their families"

Taufik's words hung in the air, thick with meaning. Some at the table exchanged glances, processing the implications.

Jenn sighed, rubbing her temples.

"We know you want to fulfill your promise from a year ago... But you always drop these world-shaking announcements so casually"

Taufik chuckled but didn't deny it.

"Still, why now? Are we just visiting, or is there more to it?" Aksara pressed.

Taufik's expression darkened slightly, though the smile remained.

"Things beyond the Rift are moving... Earth will soon become a battlefield, and not just because of the creatures spilling out. Many forces are watching, waiting... Testing us. I'm not afraid of them. But before I face all those entities... I just want some quiet time"

Taufik said, his gaze swept across the table. Then ask.

"So, how about it? Are you guys coming?"

....
