Skatoony In The Belly Of The Boss

Orin Stonehaven has always found comfort in the quiet, familiar rhythms of his childhood home, surrounded by the love and security of his family. But when a gentle urging from his mother and the adventurous spirit of his father push him toward the unknown, Orin is drawn into a world beyond the boundaries he’s always known. As he ventures into the uncharted wilderness near his town of Lightfire, Orin stumbles upon a new path that leads him to an awe-inspiring view of the ocean—an image that stirs something deep within him, something he can't quite name. It is there, on the edge of the cliff, that he encounters Elara Thorne, a free-spirited and adventurous girl who makes him question the stillness of his life. With her encouragement, Orin begins to wonder if there is more to the world—and to himself—than he ever imagined. The deeper Orin goes into this world and the ties that bind him, the more he realizes that his life is full of unknowns, and stepping outside his comfort zone means facing fears he never knew existed. With Elara by his side, he starts to embrace the idea that life, like the wilderness, is meant to be explored and lived fully, even when the path forward seems uncertain.

[The female lead in this story is explosive, the male lead is arrogant, there's a mountain of dog food (sweet moments), and it's a story full of slag-abusing and monster-fighting, with a double dose of pampering joy.] Ye Jiuliang was naturally cold and ruthless, with a fierce and wild approach to life.

[In the private room where Xiang Tian and others were singing their hearts out, they inexplicably felt a chill running down their spines.] Li Mochan buried his face in her shoulder and spat out fiercely, "I cannot." Those who dare to flirt with his wolf cub deserved a ruthless beating.

What was meant to be a peaceful retreat soon descends into a waking nightmare as they realize the forest hides something far worse than wild animals. Lurking in the shadows are a group of killers—psychopaths with no mercy, who thrive on fear and chaos, using the dense wilderness as their hunting ground. Among the students is Zenji Takahara, a quiet and unassuming loner with a dark obsession—he devours horror and survival movies, always overthinking every possible threat, preparing for scenarios no one else ever considers. Though he never wanted to come on this trip, his protective instincts for his younger brother and best friends forced his hand.
