Transported to a garbage-filled planet in the interstellar era, Ji You was so poor she was nearly digging the soil to eat, but... the soil was toxic and inedible... With no other choice, she had to lower her standards and pick up trash and sell scrap, such as these beautiful grass seeds that no one wanted. She gathered them and threaded them into beads to sell online. But once she posted them online, someone left a negative review: 'Selling grass seeds? Are you crazy for money?' Days later, this person was pounding the wall in regret: 'I beg you, sell me a grass seed bead, just one! Just one is enough.' Ji You coldly responded: 'Not selling!' And then there's the sparkling stones lying all over the streets that nobody wanted. She picked them up, polished them into bracelets, and sold them online. People lashed out with their words: 'Selling such broken rocks - have you never seen money?' Days later, those same people were crying and wailing: 'I was blind, I was so shortsighted, to overlook such beautiful and pretty stones. I beg you, sell me one.' Ji You spread her hands: 'Gone.'

In a kingdom where bloodlines dictate power, Prince Kaelen Varenthis was destined to rule, but fate has other plans. Born into a long line of kings, Kaelen is the heir to a throne embroiled in political turmoil and bloodshed. His family has long wielded the power of Form Shifting—a mystical ability to transform one's body and essence into powerful beasts, elemental forces, and even abstract concepts like time and shadow. However, Kaelen's Form Shifting abilities far exceed those of anyone in the kingdom, even his ancestors. At the height of his coming-of-age ceremony, a deadly rival faction orchestrates the elimination of his siblings, thrusting Kaelen into the heart of a ruthless battle for the throne. With his kingdom divided and enemies lurking in every corner, Kaelen must master the full extent of his powers and reshape not only his own destiny but that of the entire kingdom. The Form Shifting system is a complex and taxing art—each form requires mental strength, physical endurance, and spiritual fortitude. As Kaelen learns to harness his abilities, he discovers that he can alter not only his own form but also the infrastructure of his kingdom—crafting cities, technologies, and even bending nature itself to his will. But with great power comes even greater challenges. The more versatile the form, the greater the toll it takes on his body and soul. As Kaelen works to reunite the fractured kingdom, he must navigate political intrigue, forge powerful alliances, and defend his people from both external invasions and internal betrayals. With every step, he learns that true power is not just in shifting forms but in forging a vision of the future—a vision that can unite the fractured factions and build a new era of prosperity. But Kaelen's rise will not be without sacrifice. To conquer the shifting tides of politics, master his powers, and build a legacy, he must decide how much of himself he's willing to lose. Will he overcome the limitations of his Form Shifting abilities, or will the infinite power that courses through him be his undoing?

the background will just spoil it

Japan – National News Broadcast The polished news anchor sat upright, her gaze sharp as she adjusted the stack of papers before her. The newsroom behind her hummed with quiet urgency, the weight of the moment settling over the broadcast. "Authorities are baffled by a sudden and unexplained surge in sleep-related deaths across Japan," she began, her voice steady yet tense. "More and more citizens are passing away in their sleep without any prior health concerns. Experts are working tirelessly to determine the cause, but no clear explanation has emerged. Authorities urge the public to remain vigilant and report any unusual symptoms before bedtime." A graphic appeared, displaying the spike in fatalities over the past month. Behind her, unsettling photographs flickered across the screen—blurred images of individuals found in their beds, their faces frozen in expressions of terror. The anchor’s tone shifted. "Health officials recommend citizens avoid excessive fatigue and maintain healthy sleep habits. More updates will follow as investigations continue." --- United States – Paranormal Podcast In a dimly lit podcast studio, the host leaned forward, his eyes wide with curiosity. Across from him, a rugged man in a worn flannel shirt, gripping a faded photograph in one hand and a beer can in the other, leaned back in his chair. "So, you're telling me you saw this creature firsthand?" the host asked, clearly intrigued. The man scoffed, shaking his head. "Damn right, I did. Ugly thing had wings bigger than my body—slow but sneaky. Thought it could steal my pigs again, but I was ready this time—camera in one hand, shotgun in the other." He slammed the table for emphasis, then shoved the blurry image toward the host. The photograph depicted a small, red-skinned humanoid figure with large, bat-like wings, its eyes glowing faintly in the darkness. "Spit, the thing didn’t know what hit it when I fired!" the man chuckled, his voice full of excitement. The host held up the picture to the live chat. "Alright, what do you think? Mothman? Demon? Or is our friend here just seeing things?" The chat exploded with theories—some skeptical, others eager for the investigation to continue. --- China – Liangyuan Street Market Surveillance footage from a bustling night market in China captured a chilling scene. A woman in a red qipao walked gracefully through the crowd, her figure striking in the soft glow of lanterns. Suddenly, she paused. Her body flickered—like a glitch in a video—before vanishing completely, as though she had never existed. The footage zoomed in, replaying in slow motion. In the final frame before she disappeared, her face distorted unnaturally, her eyes hollow and empty. The screen cut abruptly to black.
