Owl Bedtime

Synopsis: Takeshi Mori, a aimless 40 year Japanese man having retired early in life with riches now wonders through the empty city streets at midnight as usual wondering what to do with his life, but that is all shattered as while looking up momentarily he sees an unfathomably big eye staring down at him, with one blink to check if he's too sleep deprived he is gone in an instant. And when his eyes open again, a forest greets him as searing pain jolts him wide awake as on the back of his right hand is a branded symbol of a shield. What happened? Where is he? What is the mark on his hand and what are the increasingly loud howls and growls he can hear coming his way? Story takes place in a fantasy world called Ender with high level magic, fantastical races such as Fae, demons, angels, Undead, merfolk, beast man and more. It'll also have some romance but it'll be a slow burn and i mean SLOW burn. Also i would recommend reading the prologue to get the whole picture and not just jumping into chapter 1. And just a reminder but this is not just a story but the life of the character that is Takeshi Mori, so there isn't just random conflict constantly or too unexpected plot points and progression, i want to make it realistic as i can without boring you guys too much but it's my story so i can do whatever the hell i want. Either stay or leave. Person 1: Hey do you know where my dandelion is? Person 2: Um it's just over there. That's Your Dandelion right? Absolute Cinema: Those who know

In the heart of the bustling city, nestled amidst towering skyscrapers, lay a corporate office where two familiar souls were destined to cross paths once more. Lily and Ethan, childhood friends who shared giggles on the playground and secrets in the library, had drifted apart after middle school. But fate had different plans for them. In the bustling corporate world, Lily, a senior employee known for her strict demeanor and impeccable work ethic, reigns with an iron fist. Her dedication and no-nonsense attitude have earned her respect and fear among her juniors, who steer clear of her path to avoid her sharp scrutiny. However, there's one exception to this rule – Ethan, a new junior who happens to be an old friend from her school days. Ethan's presence breaks through Lily's self-imposed barriers. He's transformed from the quiet boy she once knew into a vibrant, outgoing man who wears a perpetual smile. He's quick to help, warm to everyone, and his positivity seems boundless. While others might be intimidated by Lily, Ethan navigates her formidable exterior with ease, thanks to their shared history. As Ethan's unwavering cheerfulness fills the office, Lily can't help but feel a pang of jealousy. She watches as he effortlessly garners the admiration of their colleagues and chips away at her carefully cultivated reputation. His ability to maintain such happiness in the face of stress and pressure perplexes her, and a sense of rivalry takes root. The more Lily observes Ethan's interactions, the more her annoyance deepens. She becomes fixated on his seemingly perpetual joy, believing it to be a facade that undermines her own meticulous approach. As her animosity towards his positivity grows, she finds herself caught in a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. Memories of their past friendship only intensify her internal struggle.

Their brilliant glow has become a source of solace for him, a reminder that there's something magical out there waiting for him. Each evening, as he gazes up at the heavens, Alex finds comfort in the steadfast presence of his celestial confidants. When a new school year begins, Alex's world takes an unexpected turn.

In the beginning, when the world was still young and the skies were untamed, there existed a legend known to only a few. It was the tale of the 5 Birds, celestial beings created to safeguard the realms and maintain the balance of nature. These five majestic creatures were revered and feared, their power unmatched and their wisdom boundless. • Divine Owl Sagea, soared above the highest peaks, her golden wings casting a protective shadow over the lands below. She embodied courage and strength, always the first to confront any threat to their world. She was the leader of the 5 celestial birds. • Nocturne, the Raven of Secrets, dwelled in the shadows, his black feathers blending with the night. Keeper of ancient knowledge and hidden truths, he was a master of dark magic, using his powers to protect the innocent and punish the wicked. • Zephyra, the Falcon of Speed, raced with the wind, her silver feathers shimmering in the sunlight. She was swift and agile, a messenger of the gods and a symbol of freedom, her presence a harbinger of hope. • Seraphina, the Swan of Serenity, glided gracefully over tranquil waters, her pure white feathers reflecting her inner peace. She brought harmony and healing, soothing the hearts of those in turmoil and restoring balance to the land. • Pyra, the Phoenix of Rebirth, burned with an eternal flame, his fiery plumage a beacon of renewal and transformation. From the ashes of destruction, he rose again and again, a testament to the power of resilience and the promise of a new beginning. These five were the Pentad of Protectors, united by their mission to defend the world from the forces of darkness. Their greatest challenge came in the form of the Shadow Flock, a sinister group intent on plunging the realms into chaos and despair. The Celestial Birds fought valiantly, but the battle was fierce and unforgiving. One by one, they fell, their spirits lingering in the hopes that one day, successors would rise to continue their legacy. The world was left vulnerable, waiting for the day when the Celestial Birds would return to restore peace and order.

A transmigrated MC from the modern world? Check! A cursed duke in hiding? Check! One soul binding contract to tie them down? Double Check! After a resentful public trial, Kathrine's subconscious is transported, and she wakes up to realize three things. The first, she seems to have transmigrated into a newly launched RPG game, Diabolical Quest. The second, the life expectancy of a low ranked player such as herself was one week! And third, she had unintentionally signed a contract with a telepathic one winged black Owl-Cat thingy that sucked her mana dry. And what's with the ridiculous terms in his contract??? -You must never disclose my existence to anyone else. -You must consult me first before taking a client's job. -You must place my life before yours and protect me in battle. -You must groom me at least twice a day... Kathrine, now Mira, nearly kicked the little guy off the curb, when she heard the last ridiculous rule. -You must sleep next to me every night so I can replenish my mana!!! Just who did this creature think it was? And what's this? Mira has been granted the special ability type; Beast Wielder. The ability to turn any mystical beast into a weapon to use in battle. This ability not limited to taming A proud Alpha Werewolf, His Sly Vampire Counterpart, the Brooding and lonesome Griffin, a level headed beautiful Sea Serpent, a Fearsome Hellhound, an insecure Cat-Elfkin slave and a goal driven Centaur. All of the male species! And not to mention her mysterious One winged companion, who Mira can't seem to trust completely, but along the line she can't seem to live without. Who exactly is he? Why does he absorb other's Mana? And when will he finally reveal his human form??? Read through Mira's new life on her quest of adventure and romance to (probably) become the Grand Master and slay the dark warlock. Note: The story has one main love interest but the rest serve as competing ML's who M.C will pick up as the story progresses. The setting is in a video game, but all charcaters are real and will die just like normal humans. MC is a human with no mystical gene in her, so don't expect her to be very strong right off the bat.

Su’en is the most senior disciple of the Dao Sect in the Heavenly Domain, despite being of average talent. However, he stumbled upon a Critical Compensation system: Whenever he gave up his opportunities to others, he would obtain Critical Compensations, multiplying his gains and rewards. [Congratulations on giving up a Foundation Establishment Pill. You have unlocked a hundredfold Critical Compensation. You have gained 100 Foundation Establishment Pills!] [Congratulations on giving up a Xuan Rank technique. You have unlocked a thousandfold Critical Compensation. You have gained a Heaven Rank technique!] [Congratulations on giving up the egg of a Nine-tailed Owl. You have unlocked a Critical Compensation. You have gained the egg of the divine beast: the Vermillion Bird!] … Su’en’s junior Ye Lingyun declared, ”Senior, you have done so much for you. In order to repay you, I must marry you!” The other disciples of the sect announced, “We, the younger generation of the Dao Sect, will bow to no one but Senior Su!” The Empress of the Sky Demon Sect demanded, ”You gifted me the Emperor Rhyme Purple Gold Lotus, the only one of its kind in the world. And you claim I am nothing to you?” Su’en looked at the two divine maidens—one good, one evil, both beholden to him in devotion. He said, “Maybe I am selfish after all.”

A thousand years ago, the world witnessed an unprecedented conflict that pitted humanity against the immortal undead, vampires. The war was cataclysmic, leaving both sides teetering on the brink of annihilation. Just when all hope seemed lost, a celestial being, self-proclaimed as an angel named Raziel, appeared to champion the human cause. His divine intervention forced the vampires into retreat, vanishing into the shadows, but not before they made a pact among themselves. Twelve powerful vampire lords convened, vowing to retreat and lay low for a millennium, using the time to recuperate their strength and raise a formidable army. Each lord claimed dominion over a different region, weaving a complex web of secrecy and manipulation that spanned the centuries. To protect humanity from the lurking darkness, a select group of elite vampire hunters, known as the Headsman, arose. Gifted with a drop of the angel's celestial blood, the lucky few among them transcended mere mortals, gaining superhuman abilities. Their duty was to seek out the remaining vampires and rid the world of their malevolence. As time passed, the horrors of the vampire war faded into myth and legend. The once terrifying creatures of the night became the stuff of bedtime stories, and the angel's intervention morphed into a distant fable. The Headsman's tales were now shared around campfires, woven with exaggeration and disbelief. The thousand years is nearly up. ----- The cover isn't mine, so if the owner wants me to take it down, I will do so.

once my grandfather, who always speaks the truth, told me that life is not a fantasy like the bedtime story of the little prince and that you should take it seriously. He said that if you die, you die. While I agree with the first part of his advice that life is more than a fantasy, I don’t agree with the second part. from my veiw or better to say according to my experience, death is not an end but rather a beginning full of buzzing body, headaches, sword wounds, sadness, and happiness. Sometimes you have to draw a big wrong line on all the physical laws you learned in school. For me, life and death are like sitting on a merry-go-round of fantasy. Every day is a new adventure waiting to be discovered. And even though there are times when things get tough and it feels like the world is against you, there’s always hope. Hope that tomorrow will be better than today. Hope that one day we’ll find our happily ever after. But what if our happily ever after wasn’t what we thought it was? What if it was something more? Something beyond our wildest dreams? What if our lives were just one chapter in a much larger story? A story that spanned time and space and everything in between?     ●Ava’s journey began with a dream, To be the greatest photographer it would seem. But life is not always what it seems, And Ava faced challenges beyond her wildest dreams. Strange problems came her way, Rare problems that tested her every day. But Ava was not one to give up easily, She worked hard every day to make her dreams a reality. Through the ups and downs of life, Ava learned that success was not just about strife. It took hard work and dedication too, And a willingness to see things through.   ●English, as my third language, caused me a lot of problems to write this story; please ignore the grammatical mistakes.
