Rusty Rivet

Waking up in a strange world, Judith found herself in the middle of a desert, in chains and in rags. At first she assumed she was being trafficked, but soon after, she realized she was somehow in the fantasy world of her favourite novel. A fantasy world in which humans lived on a planet sized titan, bonded with mythical creatures to gain powers and went through insane climate conditions due to the titan periodically moving closer to its version of the sun. These were just the surface level of this world, because one of the reasons Judith fell in love with this fantasy world, was because of its complex ecosystem, simple but well thought out power system, riveting political battles and incredibly endearing characters. Finding herself in this world, Judith didn't know what to feel. But thinking back on her old world, the pain and struggles she had gone through and the losses she experienced, it was a no-brainer to prefer this world. And even better, this was a world she knew better than the back of her hand. So if one thing was for certain, she was going to use her knowledge to make this world hers. With this determination, Judith set out to carve a life out in this world, and succeed where she had failed in her previous one. ... At least that was the plan, but as it turns out, the person responsible for sending her to this world, was not doing it out of the kindness of her heart, but aimed to use her. Sun Qi sent Judith to this world to be a sacrifice, so she could gain the power she needed to save herself from a curse that would end her life. But disagreeing with this, Sun Qi's brother Wukong went into this world, in order to stop Judith and send her back to her original home. Unfortunately, things don't pan out as Wukong had initially planned. When he finds out that sacrificing Judith may be the only way to save his sister. But doing so would go against everything he stood for. Wukong will have to decide what is important to him, as he watches the events of this world unravel and in turn shape him. -------------- Author here, this novel will be very loosely based on the titular character Sun Wukong.

Arella is an angel. Well, she used to be an angel. A real, bona fide, halo-wearing, wing-flapping celestial being. That was until one tiny whoopsie involving a banquet and a very unfortunate burning of a pair of wings happened. ... Okay, there was more than one tiny whoopsie. Fast forward a few hours later, and Arella found herself booted from the pearly gates with nothing but her wings and an eviction notice. Her family called it a "vacation." Ha! A vacation, in the human realm of all places! One hundred years later, Arella calls it her new life. Turns out, living among humans isn’t half bad—especially when you can turn invisibly smug at their lack of ability to fly. Early retirement has never been so blissful. That is, until the heavenly courier service smacks her with a message: Arella’s back on duty. And her new job? Marry. The. Demon. King. Wait, what?! Marrying the Demon King isn’t exactly on Arella’s bucket list, especially when demons and angels have been sworn enemies for eons. But orders are orders. So, off she goes, wings drooping and attitude cranked to full sass, to meet her new husband—a devilishly handsome demon who seems unnervingly smitten with her. Cue awkward dinner dates, fiery arguments (literally), and a series of catastrophes involving Arella accidentally setting demon drapes on fire with her holy fire. But as Arella settles into this bizarre celestial-demonic union, she uncovers a sinister plot that threatens not just her marriage, but the entire realm. Turns out, angels and demons might have to join forces to stop a threat that neither side can handle alone. And Arella? She might just be the unexpected key to saving everyone. Armed with nothing but her quick wit, rusty angelic powers, and a reluctant husband who may or may not leave love notes carved into molten rock, Arella must navigate battles, betrayals, and the occasional marital spat to protect their world. After all, nothing says “happily ever after” like saving existence itself, ... right? One ex-angel. One smitten demon king. And a whole lot of chaos.

Mika was neither ambitious nor did he have a dream. Unlike the others in his age, he wasn’t really interested in adventures or subjugating monsters and demons to become a hero.

Sorry im a bit busy, will pick up around november and December. Ye Er first saw that female zerg in an advertisement. He was cheap, and significantly damaged, with only a pair of golden eyes that remained beautiful. Later, when he saw him again, he was in the female slave exchange live broadcast, where he was trampled, his spine crushed, shamelessly humiliated, his eyes silently enduring the pain and embarrassment. Yet, he shed not even a single teardrop. Later on, Ye Er picked up that dying female zerg back home. Nursing the female zerg back to health was like repairing an old, rusty machine. He was severely mutilated, had lost his bone wings, was blinded in one eye, and had his legs broken, unable to walk. Broken and tattered, completely lacking in value, silent yet sharp. Ye Er cared for him like a stray dog he had picked up, changing bandages, feeding, caressing his head to appease, turning on the lights at night to drive away spasms and nightmares… striving to be a qualified keeper. However, after continuous nursing, the female zerg who unknowingly grew powerful and returned to the peak of power, surrounded him with his newly grown bone wings, gently and cautiously with matchless devotion. Five years after the war ended, the empire and the military welcomed back their "sacrificed" general, leading to a strong reshuffle, resulting in the dismissal of numerous noble military officers. On the surface, the scene was of foul wind and blood rain, with fear and trepidation. While the media was subtly pointing fingers at the arrogant and cold-blooded tyrant, the tyrant was wearing a soft pink warm apron, skillfully baking matcha cookies with a gentle expression as he called Ye Er to wash his hands before eating. No one could have imagined that during the day, the general, who was violent and unparalleled, skillfully tearing mechas apart on the military training ground— Would obediently open up his heart completely with his own hands, trembling all over, his eyes red and moist from being bullied, hoarsely voicing his forbearing affection.

"The Hidden Pages" is a riveting adventure that spans across the realms of mystery, history, and the supernatural. This epic tale follows the journey of Evelyn Carter, a young historian, who stumbles upon a mysterious bookshop that houses ancient texts and artifacts. In the dusty corners of this forgotten shop, she discovers a seemingly ordinary book that hides a profound secret—a map leading to the fabled Holy Grail. As Evelyn delves deeper into the mystery, she realizes that the book is not just a gateway to the Grail, but also a conduit to a series of hidden messages left by a secret society that has influenced the course of history. Driven by a blend of curiosity and determination, Evelyn decides to follow the map’s clues, which set her on a path that traverses continents and timelines. Each episode in "The Hidden Pages" marks a new phase in Evelyn’s quest, intertwining her modern-day adventures with flashbacks to historical events that reveal the origins and purposes of the secret society. Alongside a cast of complex characters, including a cryptic librarian, a rogue archaeologist, and a descendant of the society's founder, Evelyn uncovers not only physical relics but also the philosophical and moral dilemmas faced by those who previously sought the Grail. The narrative builds through encounters with ancient guardians, cryptic prophecies, and the relentless pursuit by a shadowy antagonist who seeks the Grail for malevolent purposes. The quest challenges Evelyn's perception of history and morality as the lines between ally and enemy blur, revealing that the true power of the Grail lies not in the object itself, but in the knowledge and influence it bestows. In a climactic sequence of events, Evelyn and her allies must decipher the final pieces of the society’s puzzles before their adversaries can claim the Grail. The resolution of the quest brings a restoration of balance and justice, as Evelyn learns that the Grail’s true significance extends far beyond its mystical properties—it embodies ideals that challenge and redefine the essence of human progress. "The Hidden Pages" concludes with Evelyn assuming the role of a guardian, dedicated to protecting the knowledge and secrets uncovered during her journey. The legacy of the quest, coupled with the lessons learned, propels her into future adventures, suggesting that the story of the Grail and its guardians is an ever-evolving legend, continuing to inspire and challenge future generations.
