Of Mice And Men George

“A world of magic, a mind of machine—one destiny to change them all.” In a world where magic and technology have become intertwined, power is everything. At the age of ten, every child undergoes the Awakening—a moment when their magical abilities are revealed. For Kael, however, the Awakening is different. Instead of the rush of magic that others feel, his body is flooded with a cold, calculating hum—the activation of an AI. But this AI is not just a tool. It is a mentor, holding secrets, mysteries, and perhaps the key to understanding the very world Kael lives in. As Kael grapples with the nature of his connection to this ancient entity, he begins to uncover not only the depth of its knowledge but also the potential within himself. Driven by an insatiable curiosity, Kael dives deeper into the mysteries of both magic and machine. His desire for knowledge becomes a guiding force, but it also leads him into dangerous territories, forcing him to question everything he thought he knew about his world. Kael is not alone in his quest. A rival—someone with knowledge of a past life—emerges, and their paths collide in ways neither could have anticipated. The rival’s motives are unclear, but their rivalry will push Kael to his limits. As Kael grows stronger, his bond with the AI deepens, and the stakes rise. An unseen force threatens everything—something bigger than magic, bigger than technology. A force that neither Kael nor his rival can fully comprehend. Can Kael navigate this perilous world, grow beyond his limits, and rise to a challenge he never expected? The journey will shape him, the AI, and the very fate of their world

At its epicenter are dragons—majestic beings desired for their scales, organs, and prized eggs. The most coveted treasure of all is a dragon's name, a key that holds the power to control its very existence. Dragon Lord, guardian of a clutch of dormant eggs, lives in isolation atop a hill, surrounded by a forest that veils his castle.

Reluctantly, Dragon Lord allows Yara into his world, and their journey unfolds amid the looming threat of underground organizations seeking to exploit the dragons for profit. As the eggs come to life, so does an unexpected connection between Dragon Lord and Yara. Despite his cold and jaded exterior, he finds himself unable to ignore her presence. Yara, too, cannot deny the pull she feels towards him, and emotions begin to burn beneath the surface. Together, they must navigate the challenges of waiting for the eggs to hatch, fend off those who seek to exploit the dragon and its offspring, and confront the secrets that Yara harbors—a revelation that could destroy everything.

Cao Yucheng had two children, who were the apples of his eye. Although his eldest son, Cao Xiaorui, was not his biological child but was brought into his family by his wife when she remarried. Back then, Cao Yucheng's mother vehemently opposed his wife's entry into the family. His wife was nine years older than him and was a divorced woman with a child. No mother - in - law would be fond of such a daughter - in - law. Cao Yucheng himself was tall, promising, and young. He could have found any decent woman. Why did he have to choose a "second - hand" woman with a child in tow? However, Cao Yucheng disregarded his mother's objections, secretly got married to his wife, and began a life for the three - member family. For Cao Yucheng, who became a step - father right after entering society, he not only didn't feel ashamed of this but also didn't think that a six - or seven - year - old child would bring much extra pressure to his life. Instead, he was extremely grateful to his wife for giving him such a well - behaved, sensible, and obedient son. When Cao Xiaorui first came to his home, he was already much more sensible than ordinary children. When his parents were not at home, he would do all the housework he could. Mopping the floor, cleaning the table, washing vegetables, and folding clothes were all within his capabilities. His academic performance was also the best in the class. All these brought great honor to Cao Yucheng. Many biological fathers might not have a son that everyone envied, while he, as a step - father, had all the glory and less of the endless worries that a biological father would have. Cao Yucheng was quite satisfied with his life at that time. After getting married, his wife gave birth to a biological son for him. The whole family of Cao Yucheng was immersed in extreme joy, believing that there was nothing happier in life than this. He used his happy life to prove to all those who had opposed his marriage how correct his choice was. Unfortunately, people can't always be successful and happy throughout their lives. Just after his younger son, Cao Xiaoqi, celebrated his tenth birthday, his wife encountered a mudslide during a group outing organized by her unit. Only four people survived in the full - loaded vehicle. This incident was very sensational at that time, and major newspapers and media competed to report it. Cao Yucheng's wife's name could be easily found on the list of victims by those who paid attention.
