Ma Strum Pet

After a fatal encounter with a truck in the middle of a careless performance, Dan, a slacker musician with little ambition, awakens in the vibrant, fantastical world of Castoria. Reborn as Krucose, a gnome bard with a lute and a voice filled with untapped magic, he’s given a second chance at life but the path ahead is anything but straightforward. In a realm teeming with mythical creatures, legendary warriors, and ancient secrets, as he journeys through dazzling landscapes and encounters curious companions, he discovers that strength alone doesn’t define a hero. Trust, self discovery, and the bonds he forges shape him into something greater than he ever thought possible. Krucose must confront not just the dangers of Castoria but also the enigmatic truth about his own reincarnation. Is he destined to be the bard of peace, or is he merely a pawn in an ancient melody of chaos? With friendship as his anchor, will Krucose be able to master his newfound powers or will his journey lead to an ending as unpredictable as the songs he plays? Dive into a tale of bonds, growth, and the mysterious strings that connect them all. In Castoria, even the simplest tune can rewrite destiny. "I Reincarnated as a Bard" is a tale of friendship, growth, and a destiny wrapped in mystery. In Castoria, every note Krucose plays unravels a truth, but not all truths are meant to be known. "It's not about how powerful you are or how lazy you seem, it's about trusting yourself, embracing the bonds you form, and letting friendship guide you toward fulfilling your dreams." :Krucose

“Look at you, you were this teeny-weeny when you were little.” Using both hands, Shao Zifeng gestures how small his pet beast used to be. He then raises his head and looks at the gigantic being in front of him. “Just how did you grow into this ferocious form?”

It was the best cheat in the vast and ancient world! Its origin could be traced back to Trailokya and it was the highest law! … Three years ago, three living creatures fell from the sky. King Monroe of West Ridge got one of them and he conquered six countries to unite West Ridge. Wu Zhao of the Big Zhou Dynasty in the Southern Wasteland got another one of the living creatures. She dominated all 19 clans there and became the top figure in that region. Owen Bertram also got one of the living creatures. Yet three years had passed and he was still a nobody. Nothing had changed for him. However, he soon realized that the tiny loach that he got three years ago was actually the biggest cheat in the world. Moreover, it led him on a non-stop journey of becoming the biggest winner in life!

Gary Smith arrived in a peculiar world of beastmasters, where an ancient taboo was reborn from the depth of time, and an evil god was lurking. In this world, birds and beasts, rivers and mountains, even elements could spawn spiritual power and turn into pet beasts. Among them, the powerful ones became ecological niches by themselves, radiating secret realm ecosystems such as the Yellow Spring, Skeleton Kingdom, Succubus Nest, and Kingdom of the Sky Tree, nurturing countless followers. The beastmasters make contracts with the pet beasts, nurture them, and control the spiritual power. After witnessing the "Taboo Sun" event, Gary Smith obtained the ability to extract materials from everything in the world and compile "Secret Food". Through the Evolutionary Secret Food, the combination of "The Shattered Dusk World" + "Ancient Dragon’s Dead Egg" results in the Feast of the End. When the pet beast consumes it, it evolves into the Dusk Dragon God. The Dusk Domain erodes the world, turning into the God at the end of time. The Skill Secret Food allows the pet beasts to plunder skills from everything, becoming omniscient and omnipotent. The Sacrificial Secret Food snatches the taboo time, sacrifices the ancient beings, and blasphemes against the gods. His style of beast control also started to become peculiar. There is the Spider Shadow that devours ancient dragons and weaves dreams of all lives with its threads, the Red Master that pollutes the multiverse, and the Devourer of the Realms, who consumes worlds... In response to this, he explained, "My pet beasts are just a bit peculiar. They really are not evil gods!"

You see in the world I live in, there are many supernatural creatures with werewolves presently being at the top rank, next come the vampires, then the witches, and then you have my kind, the humans. We are the lowest in the ranking having no supernatural ability. With witches being almost extinct because the vampire army almost massacred them all, there was little to protect the human race from the wrath of the vampires. You see the witches were always on our side, but now fear has pushed them to live in isolation in the deepest parts of the most dangerous of forests. Long ago, we had an agreement with the werewolves and vampires in order to keep the peace. The rich humans would live a comfortable life with no fear of being eaten by the vampires and the poor were taken as slaves or used as breeders too keep the blood supply up. The vampires were the real threat to the human race. They used to be the most powerful before the werewolves took over. No one knows how the werewolves suddenly became more powerful than the vampires. It’s almost as if it happened over night. They became the supreme rulers of the world giving them the highest rank. They wanted power, so they took it. Humans and vampires now serve them. I was born into this world. A world of monsters. I was 15 years old when the war started. I was taken as a slave to be bought and sold to the werewolf lords. However, I have a plan. I will make them pay.

[Mature Content] The world is ending. Her love is dead. Yet she refuses to accept destiny and turns back time. This time, she will be victorious and live happily ever after, for what it was worth.

Note: This is a novel with the Chinese title, "凤临天下：一后千宠" widely know as Fenglin Tianxia if anybody is familiar with it. This story is a time-travel fantasy novel written by Tengu Yueyan and completed in 2015. ☺️ I found some raws and several versions of MTL online but I could barely understood most of it so I did my research and tried to translate it better to relax my mind. I know it is a weird way to relax but that is just how I do it.

Our FL is just busy building her empire, connections and her harem! This is to fulfill the promise of vengeance to all that have past blood debts to the original owner of the FL's body.
