Isak And Even Minute By Minute

"I love you." "But I don’t." Well this should be awkward. Good thing Ace got transmigrated to another world not long after! But wait— "Xiao Zhi, I can't love you. Go find someone else." Did he just wake up to a rejection? Coincidence? But not all hopes lost, maybe the gods above took pity on him because of this. [You have received the standard transmigration package: A system.] "Will it help me find love?" [Maybe hoes.] "Huh? Wha—?" [Go grab a hoe and start farming!] And so begins the beautiful story of Ace tackling anything the author will be throwing into the story. A story where even the author doesn’t quite know what’s going on? Sounds dangerous.

I'm raising two pigs." – Xiao Zhi (Ace) "Hey!" – Shan Yifeng & Liu Mei.

Amelie Conley, the eldest daughter of a revered Alpha family, was once expected to carry on her family’s proud legacy. However, when she turned sixteen, she failed to awaken her wolf, which made her earn the scornful title—the Curse of the Conley Family. At eighteen, she found her destined mate and carried his child, believing she had finally been given a chance at happiness. But when she rushed to share the news, she found him in a compromising position with her younger sister, Flora. Betrayal cut deeper than any wound, but the final blow came when he rejected her without hesitation, declaring Flora as his true mate.

Desperate to protect herself and the life growing inside her, Amelie fled to save herself and her unborn child, only to collapse into the arms of an enigmatic stranger—Gabriel Sinclair. Gabriel was no ordinary man. He was the Alpha Prince, a name feared across the nation. For twelve long years, he had scoured the lands for his mate, only to find nothing. He had convinced himself that the Moon Goddess despised him, just as his own mother had. But the moment he laid eyes on Amelie, everything changed. "You were marked, weren't you?" His voice dropped, edged with something dangerously close to possession as his gaze met hers, demanding the truth.  The question left Amelie in a dilemma. She didn't wish to tell him the truth. "I am not an ordinary wolf, Amelie. Who the fuck marked you before me?" Gabriel voiced in a possessive yet intimidating tone.  Amelie didn’t know that the man, who saved her was none other than the infamous Dark Tyrant—the Alpha Prince, Gabriel Sinclair, whose intentions were still unknown to her. ~~~~ **The Story is a pure fiction.

In a world where Aether decides strength and destiny, humanity has been branded as "The Rejected"—a fragile species, struggling to survive in a land dominated by powerful Beasts and arrogant Greater Ones. For humans, every ounce of strength comes at an impossible cost, and only those who survive the perilous Awakening ritual can hope to harness the energy that shapes their world. Among the young initiates is Arun, a boy reborn with memories of a past life—a life in a modern, structured world that was lost to a catastrophic end. With a sharp mind, Arun has transformed his isolated tribe with inventions and ideas far beyond their understanding. Yet, when the strange dark-gray energy inside him begins to stir and the dangers outside the valley grow closer, he realizes that innovation alone won't protect his loved ones. Arun takes the risk of Awakening, stepping into a trial that could claim his life. What he gains, however, is far more than anyone could have imagined. As the violent energy of the Beast Core intertwines with the dark force within him, Arun discovers not only incredible power but also the ability to pierce the veil between worlds. The energy that sets him apart becomes a bridge, allowing him to traverse back and forth between the primitive, Aether-fueled present and the technological ruins of his past life. But the answers Arun seeks come with their own burdens. In his old world, he uncovers remnants of a lost civilization and the key to the catastrophe that ended it. In his new world, he must forge an empire to stand against Beasts, Greater Ones, and the hidden truths of Aether itself. As Arun's power grows, so does the mystery surrounding him. Why was humanity rejected by Aether? What is the origin of the strange energy shielding him? And, most importantly, is he the savior of humanity—or its most dangerous threat? Caught between two worlds, Arun sets out to defy fate, build a legacy, and uncover the secrets of existence itself. But as the threads of his destiny unravel, one thing becomes clear: the greatest battles are yet to come, and they will be fought not just with strength, but with the courage to challenge the impossible.

Synopsis: A war-torn kingdom. A prophecy lost to time. A fate neither of them can escape. Zyra Valeris was meant to die. Marked at birth by an ancient curse, she was abandoned to the shadows, her existence erased by those who feared what she might become. But fate had other plans. The night the blood moon rises, Zyra’s dormant powers awaken, and with them, a bond she cannot sever—one that ties her to Kieran Duskbane, the ruthless Shadow King. Kieran has ruled the kingdom of Noctis with an iron will, his name whispered in fear. Cursed by the gods and bound to darkness, he swore never to take a mate—until Zyra crashes into his world, a storm of fire and defiance, awakening a primal hunger he cannot control. The prophecy speaks of a queen who will either save or destroy the world. As war brews and old enemies rise, Zyra and Kieran must decide: fight their fate or embrace the connection that could either break them… or make them unstoppable. But fate is cruel, and love has never been more dangerous. ------- Context: Zyra has just awakened her celestial fire for the first time while trying to escape Kieran. But the moment their bond activates, everything changes. ------- Excerpt: The night bled red. Zyra’s breath came in ragged gasps, her hands trembling as golden fire licked up her arms. The earth beneath her feet cracked from the force of her awakening magic. She had never felt power like this—searing, endless, alive. But she was not alone. A dark presence loomed behind her, and when she turned, her entire body locked in place. Kieran Duskbane. The Shadow King stood mere feet away, his gaze locked onto her with something between fury and hunger. Midnight tendrils of darkness coiled around him like living smoke, shifting as though eager to swallow her whole. The moment their eyes met, the world shuddered. A force—ancient and inescapable—snapped into place between them. Heat ignited beneath Zyra’s skin, foreign and all-consuming. She staggered, clutching her chest, where an invisible thread now tied her to the man before her. His expression darkened. “No.” His voice was raw, almost furious. “This isn’t possible.” Zyra’s vision blurred as pain lanced through her body, a tidal wave of emotions that were not hers. Rage. Hunger. Longing. Him. “No,” he growled again, as if denying fate itself. But it was too late. The bond had sealed. And in that moment, Zyra knew two undeniable truths: She was bound to the most dangerous man in existence. And no matter how hard she fought… she would never escape him. ---
