THE LAST ORACLE

**In a world on the brink of ecological collapse, where ancient prophecies whisper of impending doom, Jake, a young man burdened with the weight of a forgotten lineage, must confront his destiny as the last Oracle.** Jake, a sarcastic, wisecracking herbalist with a penchant for witty insults, lives a relatively carefree life, his knowledge of the natural world a solace in a time of growing despair. But when a devastating drought grips the land, and whispers of an ancient prophecy – one that foretells the end of the world as they know it – begin to circulate, Jake's life is irrevocably altered. Haunted by visions of a dying Earth and guided by cryptic messages from the spirit world, Jake discovers he possesses a forgotten power: the ability to commune with the Earth itself. As the drought intensifies and societal order begins to crumble, Jake must embark on a perilous journey to find the source of the impending cataclysm. During his journey, he meets Razar, a brilliant but disillusioned scientist, and Axon, his loyal and resourceful best friend, the voice of reason amidst Jake's sarcastic quips. In an attempt to help Jake understand and control his burgeoning powers, Razar accidentally injects him with an experimental serum. This serum unexpectedly imbues Jake with a unique system, transforming his understanding of his abilities into a game-like interface. Jake now receives quests, gains experience points, and unlocks new abilities as he masters his powers. However, the system is a secret, a dangerous secret that must be kept hidden from the world, including his closest allies. As Jake grapples with his newfound power, the system, and his place in the world, he begins to question his own morality. The system, while granting him incredible abilities, also fuels his inner turmoil. He struggles to control its influence, battling internal demons as he navigates a world on the brink of collapse. Facing not only the impending ecological disaster and the machinations of Mordros, a powerful sorcerer who seeks to exploit the chaos, but also the potential dangers of the system itself, Jake must confront his own inner darkness. With the help of Razar and Axon, and guided by the cryptic messages of the Earth, Jake must decide whether to embrace his destiny as the last Oracle and save the world, all while keeping the existence of the system a secret, ensuring that its power does not corrupt him, and ultimately, finding redemption within himself. !

The Dragon's Shadow

In the church's prison, a man looked at his shackles. 'Little girl... is this the ending you wanted to see?' Thinking back to that resolute and pretty face in his memory and that golden hair like the blooming sunset, Lister sighed. 'If I had known that my end will be like this, I might as well have abandoned that little useless princess, opened a small tavern, and found a woman to spend my life with.' "Man, how unlucky am I..." Lister remembered that while he was playing with these little fluffy monster girls, he used to often tease a certain witch that she would accidentally end up on the stake, making her puzzled, but he didn't expect that he would be the one to go up first. "If all this could start over... I should have chosen the monster girls after all." "Oh? Really?" A cold yet teasing voice sounded beside him. As he turned his head to look, powerful magic energy gathered and swirled, and finally, a tall female figure walked out of it. She wore a tight black dress that showed off her curvy, mature figure. Lister knew her... or rather, should have known her. 'The Sinful Dragon Demon Lord, Priscilla' "Did you really mean it when you said you'd choose monster girls?" "...I wonder if the mighty Demon Lord has decided to grace me with a heart-to-heart in this cozy little prison." "As expected of the mastermind who single-handedly helped that incompetent woman to the throne. Even now you have the energy to crack jokes?" "You flatter me. I think it's quite humanistic for a Demon Lord who has children for breakfast, lunch, and dinner to chat with a dying man in prison." "Tsk, getting upset over a little teasing already?" "Sigh, alright, I don't have much time either. Let me get to the point with you. What are you still waiting for here, waiting to die?" "I don't know, maybe waiting for a female Demon Lord to come swoop in and save me?" "You know Aurola has abandoned you. What are you still hoping for?" "...So what does this have to do with the Demon Lord? We only have a very shallow cooperative relationship; I don't think it matters if I die or not." "Of course it does." Priscilla smiled and pressed the blunt end of her dragon horn against his forehead. "Because I want you, but I'm different from Aurola. What she gave you, I can give. What she couldn't give you, I can also give. Didn't you want to choose monster girls? In the Demon Capital, there are all kinds of monster girls. You can pick whichever you like." "Then, are there fluffy and warm ones?" "...I think the ones with hard scales and slender, elegant physiques are not bad either." "Ahem, I digress." "Anyway, I understand you better than you think. As long as you come with me to the Demon Capital, I will satisfy your everything within my power. As long as you promise me one thing..." "I know." Lister picked up where Priscilla left off, smiling back at her. "You want me, right?" "What a smarty~. So, you agree?" "Mm. I'll go with you." 'And come on, it's fluffy monster girls' 'I can't refuse.'
