Cain and Misha were inseparable high school sweethearts with a love as deep as it was fierce. But one fateful day, a tragic accident ends their lives… or so they thought. Instead of finding themselves in the afterlife, they awaken in a realm of shimmering light, face to face with Celestara, the Goddess of Rebirth and Fate. Celestara offers them a second chance—not only to live again but to rise as powerful champions in a world on the brink of chaos. She reveals that a malevolent demon god, once sealed away by the ancient deities, is regaining strength and preparing to break free, threatening to annihilate everything in his path. Cain and Misha accept her offer, but Celestara has one more surprise in store: she grants them the chance to choose their professions and abilities. Misha, with a fierce and wild heart, becomes the Grand Beast Master, gifted with the power to bond with and command mythical creatures of unrivaled strength. Cain, calm and calculated, embraces the role of Divine Lord of Necromancy, able to summon formidable spirits and control the forces of life and death itself. However, the path to greatness is not so simple. Reincarnated into vastly different circumstances—Misha as a noblewoman, bound by social restrictions, and Cain as a commoner with little power or influence—they must struggle to find each other in this new world. The challenges they face alone test their love, their resolve, and their abilities in ways they never imagined. As they embark on their quest to reunite and prepare for the demon god’s awakening, they discover that, together, their powers are limitless. But will it be enough to stop a god of destruction? And can they hold onto their love amidst the dark forces threatening to tear them—and the world they now call home—apart? Join Cain and Misha in The Grand Beast Master and Divine Lord of Necromancy, an epic journey of romance, adventure, and power beyond imagination. Author’s Note: No harem! Single female lead. Expect epic battles, amazing creatures, and protagonists who are destined to become legends.

Zhouzhou est née avec peu de chances, et après avoir entraîné la faillite d'un temple taoïste en mangeant, elle a finalement été chassée de la montagne pour mendier de la nourriture. Mais par inadvertance, elle a trouvé une source de subsistance à long terme. Après avoir adopté la petite Zhou Zhou, Madame Qin a immédiatement envoyé un message à son plus jeune fils, "Regarde, tu as une fille !" Qin Lie, qui aurait dû se réjouir de devenir père, est resté de marbre et a dit, "Envoyez-la loin." Les jeunes tyrans de la famille Qin, qui auraient dû se réjouir d'avoir une petite soeur, ont l'air dédaigneux et ont dit, "Nous n'en voulons pas. Elle ne sait que pleurer, pas amusant du tout." Même les ennemis jurés de la famille Qin attendaient avec impatience de voir Zhouzhou entraîner la famille Qin à la faillite. Cependant, Qin Lie signait des contrats tous les jours jusqu'à ce que ses mains en soient douloureuses, et la famille Qin prospérait, consolidant leur position en tant que famille la plus riche. Même le septième frère infirme de la famille Qin a pu se mettre à courir et sauter. Lors d'un banquet, les jeunes tyrans de la famille Qin ont entouré Zhouzhou, essayant de lui faire plaisir. "Soeur, nous te donnerons toute la nourriture délicieuse !" "Soeur, quel genre d'histoire veux-tu entendre aujourd'hui ? Frère te le dira !" Qin Lie s'est approché directement, a soulevé la petite fille et a jeté un regard froid à ses neveux, déclarant sa possession, "C'est ma fille !"

Lors de son retour dans la famille aisée, tout le monde se moquait d'elle car elle n'était pas aussi intelligente, capable, sage et élégante que la fausse héritière. Ses parents la considéraient comme une tache sur l'honneur de la famille et l'avertirent de ne pas nourrir d'illusions de devenir une dame de la famille. Ils disaient qu'elle devrait être reconnaissante d'être une fille adoptive, sinon ils la renverraient. Ying Zijin : "Alors je pars. Pas besoin de me raccompagner." Tandis que la famille Ying célébrait joyeusement et que d'autres attendaient de voir l'héritière réelle se ridiculiser, des personnalités influentes de divers domaines passaient à l'action. L'idole la mieux cotée avec les fans les plus influents a dit, "Mlle Ying, faites-moi signe si vous avez besoin de quoi que ce soit." L'héritier d'un monopole économique mondial a dit, "La famille Ying ? C'est quoi ça ? Chef, on devrait peut-être les éliminer ?" Le meilleur artiste martial du pays a demandé, "Qui ose embêter ma maître ?" Le génie adolescent avec un QI de 228 a dit, "C'est ma sœur." Un homme à l'apparence incroyablement séductrice a souri avec nonchalance et désinvolture, en disant, "D'accord, alors appelle-moi beau-frère." Les personnalités influentes étaient perplexes. Quand l'identité véritable de l'héritière a été restaurée, cela a causé une sensation sur internet. La famille Ying est devenue folle et s'est mise à genoux, pleurant et la suppliant de revenir. La famille puissante internationale a dit, "Désolé, laisseez-moi vous la présenter. Voici notre véritable héritière." Renaître en tant que roi, effectuer un retour fracassant et lancer une contre-attaque !

Perna To Rachel & Derek, Thank you for everything! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When the last heir of Ardel lost everything, fate would bring her to her rightful protector. Anna Adhemar, the forgotten princess, found herself betrayed by the Regent. Hunted by the Bargesians and the ruthless slave traders, she desperately fled for her life. Rescued by a mysterious man, her newfound safety was short-lived as she succumbed to a potent aphrodisiac. Then, she awoke in the arms of the fearsome Knight Commander of Gerhard, stripped bare, in a foreign kingdom. Fear, confusion, and a sense of profound devastation enveloped her. But the man before her declared, "I am your husband. I married you last night." Then, with unwavering determination, he vowed, " You're my woman now. No one can hurt my woman." --- Kyren Raychard, the Crown Prince who had chosen to forsake the throne and became celibate, led the Knights of Gerhard to safeguard his kingdom’s border from slave trading activities. Outside his camp, he found Anna poisoned and delirious. The healer informed him of the only cure, of which he must race against time to give and honour her. For the first time, he felt an overwhelming instinct to protect and claim her as his own. Unaware of his deepening affection, he belatedly realised his feelings as he stood on the brink of losing her. Bound by a soul-binding spell, their fates intertwined…

In a deadly cosmic game where entire worlds are at stake, seven heroes are summoned to fight for Earth’s survival. Each wields a unique power, but one—known as the 3rd Knight—bears the ability to rewind time and restart the game. After two failed attempts, he’s already watched his team fall and his world crumble. Now on his third regression, burdened by past mistakes and fragmented memories, he must lead his team through the perilous forest trial. But not all heroes are ready for battle, and not all paths lead to victory. As alliances fracture and hidden truths emerge, the knight faces an impossible question—how many times can he die before hope runs out?

Betrayed by lies and consumed by the mob's fury, the idealistic politician met his end at the hands of the very people he sought to protect. His legacy? Scorn. His dream? Trampled beneath the boots of ignorance. Never again will I serve the whims of the ignorant. When he wakes up in a foreign world, his second chance comes not as a ruler or king but as a frail parish priest in the forgotten outskirts of the Holy Empire. "The masses are nothing but tools—easily swayed, incapable of thought, and blind to reason. To lead is not to serve them, but to wield them." Bound to a mysterious system that rewards with miraculous powers, he begins his ascent—as the Messiah. Armed with the knowledge of his past life and a soul hardened by betrayal, he will transform this crumbling parish, climb the ranks of the Church, and carve a path to the pinnacle of power. In a world ruled by faith and fear, he will forge a new order, not to serve but to dominate. After all, a shepherd does not ask permission to lead the flock. He decides their fate. Faith is his weapon. Power is his goal. Divinity is his destiny.
