The Dark Forest By Cixin Liu

In a world where power is everything, Lu Fan, a solitary figure, his bond with nature ran deeper than most could understand. As a plant summoner, he controlled the wild, bending the earth and flora to his will. Trees grew, vines tangled, and flowers bloomed at his command. Alone, he thrived. Alone, he was strong. But his path took a dark turn when he met them—the strongest of the strongest—two people who seemed destined to walk beside him. Fan Zhi, Strongest warrior, and Lila Strongest Magician, alongside Jian Mo, who he trust the most his only servant. Neither friend, neither ally, but their strength had been undeniable. They were supposed to be his equals. Together, they ventured through the last dungeon—an ancient place of untold power, where survival meant everything. Only, when the final trial came, they revealed their true colors. Betrayed. In the heart of the deepest dungeon, where flames licked the very walls and the ground trembled with volcanic fury, Lu Yan was thrown into the pit of molten lava. His body burned, his soul shattered, and for a brief, fleeting moment, he thought he was done. It was over. The cruel end to a solitary existence. The end to everything he had built. But fate had other plans. As the searing heat consumed him, a sudden, impossible force swept through his body. He felt his form warp and twist, his very essence pulled through the fabric of reality. And then, darkness. When Lu Yan opened his eyes again, the world around him was not the dungeon he had fallen into. No. This was a place unlike any he had known—ancient forests that stretched beyond sight, skies that shimmered with impossible colors, and air thick with an eerie, pulsing energy. A world far beyond his own. A world where the rules of reality were rewritten, and the plants he had once commanded were now wild, untamed creatures with a mind of their own. He was no longer the betrayed summoner. He was something else, something far greater. In this new world, his power was more than just a gift—it was a curse and a blessing, intertwined. And as Lu Yan stood amidst the endless forest, his mind burned with only one thought: If betrayal brought me to this, then nothing will stop me from becoming the master of it all. The winds whispered his name, and the plants trembled, eager for the chaos he would bring. For Lu Yan, this world was not a second chance—it was the beginning of something far darker, far greater. And in the deepest corners of his heart, he knew: The greatest revenge begins with a single seed. - ... (Hello Author here I'm Open for any Suggestions)

Not only is it changing her normal schedule drastically, given she hadn’t hung out with anyone before, but even her personal space seems under attack at times. As she continues to help the unicorn, she funds that going back to how she was isn’t as attractive as it had once been, before she was helping the unicorn but also she wonders if she really would want to. *Minor spoiler in the synopsis for vol. 2 if you haven't read vol. 1* Vol 2: Tip of Other Worlds Charlie and her friends begin traveling to other worlds in search of the world that the griffin canyon connects to.

Charlie comes to after a while, feeling like her brain had been I'm a fog and that she had been in a waking dream, only to find she's naked and in a kind of cage where she learns she's been taken as a slave.

Whispers of the Forest tells the tale of Clara Jenkins, a woman with the gift—and curse—of empathy. From a young age, Clara has been able to sense and feel the emotions of those around her, an ability that isolates her from others and leaves her wary of forming close relationships. But her life takes a dramatic turn when she ventures near Blackwood Forest, where she encounters Aldric, the powerful leader of a werewolf pack. Aldric recognizes Clara as his fated mate, the woman he has spent his life searching for, and the bond between them is instantaneous, leaving Clara overwhelmed by the depth of love he feels for her. However, Clara's journey into the world of werewolves is far from simple. She quickly learns that Aldric's pack is in danger from an ancient darkness that has begun to awaken within the forest. This darkness is no ordinary threat—it is a malevolent force that feeds on fear and despair, threatening to consume everything in its path. Clara, with her unique ability to connect with emotions, is the key to restoring balance to the forest, and the ancient spirits that reside within it choose her as their guardian. With Aldric by her side, Clara steps into her role as protector of the forest, but the battle ahead is more daunting than she could have ever imagined. As Clara faces shadowy creatures and confronts the darkness that lurks within the forest, she must also confront the darkness within herself. The remnants of the evil they fought during the battle have taken root in Clara's soul, manifesting as a shadow that whispers of her failures, doubts, and insecurities. The more she tries to suppress it, the stronger it becomes, threatening to consume her from the inside. Through the guidance of the spirits, Clara learns that she cannot simply banish the darkness—it is a part of her, just as much as the light. To protect the forest and those she loves, Clara must confront the shadow within, find balance, and embrace both the light and dark aspects of herself. This realization brings her to the difficult task of admitting her struggles to Aldric, who stands by her side as they work together to banish the darkness and heal the scars left on the forest. Ultimately, Whispers of the Forest is a story about love, resilience, and the importance of finding balance within oneself. It explores the complex interplay of light and darkness, both in the world and within the human soul, and the power of connection in overcoming even the most insurmountable challenges. Written by an AI, this story delves into themes of empathy, transformation, and the enduring strength of the human (and werewolf) spirit.
