Her husband was an orphan with a bunch of little radish head siblings?

“Come not between the Dragon and his Wrath.” — William Shakespeare The year was 2140, and Earth was nothing but a distant memory. Humanity now drifted through the galaxies aboard colossal ARKs, massive skyships that served as the last bastions of civilization. Yet, these ARKs were more than just floating cities; they were humanity’s last containers, preserving what remained of their species. A century before Earth's final collapse, humanity discovered a gateway to a realm known as Eternia — a fantastical world straight out of myth and legend. Reaching this realm required more than just advanced technology; it demanded a complete departure from the physical body and entry into a mysterious process known as the Dream Weave. In the present day, Cloud lived aboard ARK NO. 427, where he had been training from a young age to step into the Dream Weave. He was a standout among his peers, excelling in every tasks that came his way. Everything seemed to be on track for him — until the pivotal day of the Class Selection process.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Everything in this story has a purpose, nothing is random. If something feels 'forced' it's meant to be, ask why and I guarantee you will enjoy the novel more. ------------------- Synopsis: This is the story of a young man who was reincarnated as a dragon with a near-insatiable curiosity. Initially sparked by questioning his own reincarnation, he quickly gets lost in the endless world of magic, using his deep understanding of advanced sciences to learn the laws and properties of a new type of energy known as mana. However, soon enough, the table would flip, and he would begin using that very same energy to expand his knowledge of science, to the point that he would begin questioning his own understanding of the world. Although not his original intention, with the combination of his intelligence, expanding curiosity, and the 'miracles' that occurred to allow for his existence, he quickly found himself climbing the mountain of strength as if it were a small hill before eventually climbing to a point where it seemed as if he himself was the peak itself. Even if.. that was never the case... - There is mild gore, and profanity is 'censored' toward the beginning, but not later in the story. - Tags: Action, Discovery, Adventure, Fantasy, Sci-fi Sub Tags: Reincarnation, Magic, Non-Human Lead, (Extremely) OP Protagonist, Mystery - New Chapter twice a week, on Monday and Friday at 1:30 PM EST!

At least you must have imagined what it would be like, if you could live your life over again. Right? I'm not a hypocrite, so I've imagined it a few times. This time I got the opportunity like the protagonist of those Japanese novels that I often read. The problem is this is not “my” second chance at life. --- So, dear readers, the initial idea of this novel is: What if you woke up in an anime world? Not just the people, but even the logic of the world itself is different. For example, why do some beautiful women have a flower effect appearing around them when you look at their faces? Or how can someone who is extremely overweight make rapid muscle gains with just a little exercise? Here, our main character will experience a clash of concepts between the reality of this world and the logic of our own as he navigates daily life—one filled with comedy and intriguing moments (at least, I hope to make you feel that way!). As the title suggests, this is a story about a second life—but the twist is that it’s not the MC’s second life, but rather the body of a ghost burdened with many regrets, known as Mr. G. This is where the MC is tested, as he must help resolve the unresolved issues of Mr. G—problems that naturally involve the other characters in the story, from family and classmates to matters of love. Because I love classic visual novels, I plan to introduce many characters, each with their own unique traits and personal stories. So what are you waiting for? If you're interested, come and read! If you enjoy the story, I truly appreciate it and would be grateful if you could recommend this novel to your friends. If you don’t like it, I can only apologize for not meeting your expectations. Lastly, I’d love to hear any criticism or suggestions to help improve the quality of this novel for future enjoyment! That’s all from me—please enjoy the story!

In a world in a distant universe similar to ours, dragons were the supreme rulers for millions of years. But one day, a supernova struck their planet, making it uninhabitable for hundreds of thousands of years and killing almost all life on its surface. When the catastrophe ended, the decimated dragons struggled to recover, while other races rose up and became the new rulers, hunting the surviving dragons and forcing them to retreat away from civilization. The dragons fell back into bestiality and violence, regressing further and further until they were little more than animals. Now, dragons are a species on the verge of extinction, and nothing would seem able to change their fate... or maybe not? Haku, one of the youngest member of a dying species that struggle to survive, refuses this. He decides it's not right to surrender to the rules of that difficult and terrible world into which he had the misfortune to be born, and he doesn't want his brothers and sisters to do it either. He believes that there must be something else, some other way to live without fear. So, let's follow the journey of Haku and his siblings, a journey that will take them across the world and beyond, against a fate that none of them is willing to accept.

Meanwhile, the girl he’s grown close to harbors a dark past, one that changed the course of her live in way Nox never imagined. Even more intriguingly, he finds a way to travel between this strange world and his own - Introducing modern knowledge to this, otherwise primitive world. -------------- As this is my first novel that I will publish, don't expect the best story or fabulous character development. It will probably feel more like a wish-fulfillment story with some twists and turns. I will also be experimenting a lot—both with the plot and the writing style—to find my own way of writing. English is not my first language, so there may be errors. However, I will use correction programs to spare you all from grammar PTSD. --------------- -NO ntr, No yuri ; There will be: -spice -lemons (not very explicit though but I will make a discord channel for that) -gore -harem with 3 to 4 woman (might change if readers don't want it) mc is mostly neutral but some actions will be evil ------------------------ I don't own the cover art and all rights belong to the original artist. ##Release every Saturday## Discord: https://discord.gg/9zdCMtJMuk
