For decades, humanity ventured out the outlandish underworld, hoping to put a wall between their worlds, and perhaps bring stories of conquest and glory. Monster hunters with their gifted ability from the gods called Tezhe, were able to contend with the monsters, bringing harmony and progress upon their world. That is, until the discovery of a new land deep within the layers of dungeons – a new world. But along came the invasion of the monsters upon their sanctuary. For Mettel, a normal boy living above the surface–the monsters was a far off dream. However, when the White Void, the Hydra Ithivora, destroyed his village by passing, everything in his life had changed. Where he should have died, came a miracle. A mutation occurred in his genetics caused by the aftermath effect from the White Void's breath. He'd become something much more than a human. But more importantly, what was this special transparent rectangular box with a message he couldn't understand? ..... Within the dark deep dungeons, a helpless worker bee was born. His name was Robert, he was sure he was still sleeping but what are these words popping up in front of his view like game-system prompts? MoPako System? Species name: Mel Apis Infans? Also why does his body feel... weird? The last thing he remembered was conversing with a certain prophet. Said something like being reborn and hoping for me to have a good life. Now what in the hell is this? Why is a monstrous humongous worker bee being eaten by an even more monstrous massive centipede?!? Reincarnated individual number 1: Robert Aphens ..... In the embrace of the shadow depths, an egg buried within the sand cracked to reveal a hatchling spider. "Huh, where am I? Where is this? Cough!" It's so goddamn dark in this place! Ow. She hit her head. What are her legs sticking onto? Wait, eight legs? Then a message prompt appeared in front of her, the MoPako System. Species name: Misumena Dumu. Skills: Webbing, Bite, Slice. Then there were the creepy scene of other eggs the size of half an adult cracking only for equally as big colorful spiders to come out. Sadly, she just has to look up to see an all-pervading fog consuming them as they disappeared to nothingness. Okay, starting out big aren't we? A monstrous entity hidden in the fog that's likely beyond my imagination, check. Time to run. Reincarnated individual number 2: Aoi Nagase

But as she battles her own family and Demetri's many rivals, will she be able to keep from falling for the man known to crush people beneath his booted heel. Excerpt: She had forgotten that the man was intimidating and directly challenged him. Rather than speaking, Demetri rose from his seat and approached her deliberately. Although it was a mere few steps, time seemed to stretch for Nora. When he was almost within touching distance, his hand gently landed on her knee, moving it sideways. His touch moved with a hint of a caress, and he stepped between her open legs. Nora sat there in frozen silence, her eyes wide like a deer caught in headlights. Catching her chin between his fingers, he tilted her face upwards and spoke unhurriedly," You are my wife." She nodded her head slowly in affirmation while his thumb slowly traced her lip. "I have given you time to gather your emotions." Another nod. Nora's nervousness made her lick her lips, acutely aware of his intense gaze fixed upon them. "Your reason for the marriage was to secure your inheritance and get away from under your mother's thumb." "Yes..." Nora whispered in confusion. Her confusion was not about his statement but about the bewildering sensations coursing through her. What was happening with her? "It's time for you to fulfil your end of the contract, yes?" He continued. "Yes," Nora whispered breathlessly. Why was she breathless? Had the oxygen level in the house dropped? Was the air suddenly thinning? Abruptly, his hand left her face, and she watched as he drew closer. It was then that Nora comprehended what was unfolding. All those tantalizing, heart-pounding kisses she had read about in novels were about to possibly become her reality. But the anticipated kiss didn't happen. Instead, he paused near her and commanded, "Kiss me."

Extracto: El museo ha olvidado que el hombre era intimidante y lo desafió directamente. Más que hablar, Demetri se levantó de su asientos y se acercó a ella deliberadamente. Aunque solo eran unos pocos pasos, el tiempo parecía alargarse para Nora. Cuando casi estaba a distancia de tocar, su mano aterrizó suavemente sobre su rodilla, moviéndola de lado. Su toque se movió con un atisbo de caricia, y se colocó entre sus piernas abiertas. Nora se sentó allí en silencio congelado, sus ojos abiertos como un ciervo atrapado en las luces delanteras. Atrapando su barbilla entre sus dedos, inclinó su cara hacia arriba y habló sin prisa —Tú eres mi esposa —ArGó Demetri. Ella asintió lentamente con su cabeza en afirmación mientras su pulgar trazaba lentamente su labio—. Te he dado tiempo para reunir tus emociones —le dijo él. Otro asentimiento. El nerviosismo de Nora la hizo lamerse los labios, consciente de su intensa mirada fija en ellos. —Tu razón para el matrimonio era asegurar tu herencia y liberarte del dominio de tu madre. —Sí —Nora susurró confundida. Su confusión no era acerca de su declaración, sino acerca de las desconcertantes sensaciones que le recorrían. ¿Qué le estaba pasando? —Es hora de que cumplas tu parte del contrato, ¿sí? —Continuó él. —Sí —susurró Nora sin aliento. ¿Por qué le faltaba el aliento? ¿Había descendido el nivel de oxígeno en la casa? ¿Se estaba adelgazando repentinamente el aire? De repente, su mano dejó su cara, y ella lo vio acercarse más. Fue entonces cuando Nora comprendió lo que estaba sucediendo. Todos esos besos tentadores y emocionantes que había leído en novelas estaban a punto de convertirse posiblemente en su realidad. Pero el beso anticipado no sucedió. En cambio, se detuvo cerca de ella y ordenó —Bésame."

“Robert must be told,” Ned said. “If what you say is true, if even a part of it is true, the king must hear it for himself.” “And what proof shall we lay before him? My words against theirs? My little birds against the queen and the Kingslayer, against his brothers and his council, against the Wardens of East and West, against all the might of Casterly Rock? Pray, send for Ser Ilyn directly, it will save us all some time. I know where that road ends.” “Yet if what you say is true, they will only bide their time and make another attempt.” “Indeed they will,” said Varys, “and sooner rather than later, I do fear. You are making them most anxious, Lord Eddard. But my little birds will be listening, and together we may be able to forestall them, you and I.” He rose and pulled up his cowl so his face was hidden once more. “Thank you for the wine. We will speak again. When you see me next at council, be certain to treat me with your accustomed contempt. You should not find it difficult.” He was at the door when Ned called, “Varys.” The eunuch turned back. “How did Jon Arryn die?” “I wondered when you would get around to that.” “Tell me.” “The tears of Lys
