Hello, you all wanted to marry her sister right? Excerpt: “ Here you go,” said Mo Qiang as she pushed the divorce agreement looking at her first husband who was gentle but poisonous like a snake. “ I have already signed the document of our divorce, you can take a look —-wait, why are you taking your clothes off?” The mer looked at her and smiled gently as he took off his glasses and said, “ Looks like my wife is not happy with me not giving birth to our child, don’t worry I will work hard tonight.” Mo Qiang: “…..” I do not want you to work hard! Take second! “ Take this and sign it,” said Mo Qiang, this time more fiercely as she looked at her second husband who was reading a script for his film. “ I am sure you want to divorce me right? I have already signed —-woah! What are you putting me on the bed for?” She asked while looking at the gorgeous face. Her second husband stared down at her and with a blank expression and voice as cold as water said, “ I have to practice a love-making scene, help me, dear wife.” Mo Qiang: “……” This movie that you are shooting is based on the Zerg apocalypse, don’t lie to me! With whom are you going to make love with? A Zerg? Take third! “ Huff, huff..this is the divorce agreement, sign it... I know that your company does not allow idols to date so here sign it,” she said to her third husband who was practising his dance moves. The mer who was dressed in a loose silk shirt and sweat dripping down his body took a look at the document that she was handing him and then hugged Mo Qiang. A second later she heard his sniffling voice while he peppered kisses on her neck, “ Wife you do not want me? Is that the new idol who attracted your attention, I knew it! I will take care of him!” “Put down that knife will you!” And why is the third prince of the imperial family who hated her to the bones coming after her with flowers? She already has her hands full! ….

Chased by the ruthless enforcers of the Dominion, she clings to a mysterious pendant—a relic her late mother entrusted to her with only one cryptic warning: “This is your light in the darkness.” But the pendant is more than a family heirloom. It hums with ancient power, pulls her toward forgotten places, and unlocks secrets long buried beneath the ruins of a broken world. When Alexa discovers the shattered remains of an oracle, she learns of a fate darker than she imagined—a looming threat known only as The Unmaker, a force that could unravel the fabric of reality itself. Bound by prophecy and pursued by enemies on all sides, Alexa is thrust into a deadly gambit of ancient powers, forbidden magic, and warring factions.

But every decision comes with a price, and the line between savior and destroyer grows ever thinner. In a world where trust is a gamble and failure means annihilation, Alexa must rise from hunted prey to a force capable of confronting destiny itself.

The Angels, now known as the Monarchs, were responsible for the death of his family and the destruction of everything he once held dear.

By the year 2350, Earth was quite different than the futuristic dystopia that was imagined by scientists and comic book authors alike. With greed and corruption more rampant and powerful than ever, human beings were on the brink of ending humanity itself with countless wars and skirmishes. However, before such a tragedy could become a reality for Earth, an unexpected visitor saved humanity from the brink of self-extinction, one who was suffering from the devastating effects of their own extinction event. Humanity had been searching the cosmos for signs of extraterrestrial life for several centuries now, but they didn't expect was to be discovered by an alien race first who were known as the Yalhvi. The Yalhvi were a supernatural race capable of manipulating elements and using other abilities, something that was only considered Sci-Fi up to that point. After suffering from a similar fate in their home world which ultimately led to the destruction of the whole planet, the remaining Yalhvi swore of violence as they scoured the galaxy in search of another suitable planet to call home. A historic peace treaty was forged; granting the Yalhvi residence on Earth. In exchange, the Yalhvi shared their knowledge and revealed the secrets behind their supernatural abilities. With this newfound understanding, humanity slowly began awakening its very own extraordinary powers. Many discoveries were made and humanity advanced forward at an exponential rate. With the help of the Yalhvi, many more secrets were found and questions answered. Humanity expanded its reach much farther than the solar system, finally making contact with dozens of other species within the galaxy and establishing connections, greatly improving their technology thanks to Yalhvi's architecture and design. However, once again humanity fell victim to greed as they didn’t heed the warnings that Yalhvi had given them. Slowly, a hierarchical system emerged, where the strong reigned supreme and the powerless were oppressed. Wars erupted once again, this time posing an even greater threat than nuclear warfare, threatening to destroy all this great progress and risk the very survival of the human race once again. Amidst the chaos, ten courageous warriors arose, standing united to end the devastating conflicts that plagued their world and achieve some semblance of peace. *************** “We welcome humanity to the beginning of a new year and a new century.

Little did he know that a new enemy was about to reveal itself, threatening the destruction of the entire Milky Way Galaxy, and with the dawn of this new year, a path would unveil that destiny had intricately woven for him to become the one who would either save the galaxy or lead to its destruction if he were to fail.

Volume One: Tale of a Sumotori On Taria sumo is an ancient sport devoted to a man who stood up to the War Kami Kenichi and won.

Akira, an Oracle who lived for over five hundred years, saw an apocalyptic vision, a vision of a powerful Asura killing lives in his wake. His eyes, red with hatred and anger, reveled in the scene of mutilated corpses with pleasure. The corpses were not only of humans, but beings of other dimensions.

[Currently in Hiatus] What is an extra? An unknown character in a novel that has no mention or involvement in the plotline whatsoever. “A few thousand people died due to this horrible tragedy.” With these few lines of words, people or in actuality, extras simply die. There simply is no consequences to kill off some random person when they have nothing to do with the plot. This is the dilemma the author proposed to me. Should I just sit here and wait for my inevitable fate of dying? No. I can't sit here doing nothing to stop the avalanche that is to come. I need to change that unchangeable fate of mine and turn into something that can be changed. Change fate into destiny. The author said to me, “To prevent your death as an extra, you must first become something more than an extra like a side character or a main character and to achieve that, you must be relevant to the story at all costs.” [The setting of the novel is set in the 1910s with radio, blimps and everything. However, it's just related to the architecture and technologies. Not the way of thinking, common sense or everyday speech.] * * * Chapter release schedule: Inconsistent. Basically means I may release like seven chapters all at once and then never release a chapter for several decades. This novel is extremely inspired by a novel called: “The Demon Prince goes to the Academy”

Kael von Thurad, once a master architect in the bustling heart of a world far removed from this one, finds himself reborn in a strange and untamed land after a twist of fate. His former life, his identity, all of it stripped away, leaving him with little but his wits and a mysterious artifact—a so-called "Empty Lot," a simple name for an item that holds the power to reshape reality itself. With nothing but raw determination and the visions in his mind, Kael begins his work, crafting a small floating village out of wood, stone, and water. It is a humble beginning, a far cry from the towering structures he once designed, but the village is his, and it floats above the wilds like a solitary island in a sea of danger. The land beneath him is unforgiving, a place where survival is earned with blood and toil, but Kael is no stranger to hard work. As he gathers resources from the land and bends the forces of nature to his will, Kael begins to expand his creation. The village grows, passing through stages of technology that mirror the evolution of civilization itself. From the simplicity of steam-powered mechanisms to the complexity of advanced machinery, each upgrade brings him closer to the vision that haunts his dreams—a modern, interdimensional floating city, a marvel of architecture that defies the very laws of nature. But Kael does not work alone. He breathes life into the Seraphs, androids and golems of his own design, constructed from the very materials of the earth. These silent guardians maintain and upgrade the city, their glowing eyes reflecting the light of progress as they carry out his will. They are more than mere tools; they are extensions of his mind, manifestations of his relentless drive to create and conquer. Through countless trials, Kael’s floating village transforms, rising from the dirt and stone of its beginnings to become a sprawling metropolis, a city that floats above the world and beyond it. It is a city of wonders, a place where the boundaries of reality blur, and the impossible becomes possible. Yet, beneath the surface of his grand design, Kael wrestles with the forces that govern this strange new reality. The land is not his to command, and the powers that be watch him with interest and suspicion. But Kael is a man of vision, a builder of dreams, and he will not be deterred. His floating city becomes not just a refuge, but a testament to his will, a defiance of the natural order that seeks to contain him. Kael von Thurad’s story is one of transformation, a tale of creation born from destruction. It is a journey through the dark and unknown, where imagination holds the power to reshape worlds, and where a man can rise from the ashes of his past to build something truly extraordinary.

Every 100,000 years, a holy being is born, foreshadowed by rain in a place of death. Legend believes killing this sacred entity grants one a unique, ultimate ability. However, a million years have passed without the birth of a single holy being, and no one knows what became of the previous ones. There are whispers that the royal families have slain them all and that the gods are punishing humanity—condemning them to suffer in an era where holiness has lost its power. The oracles have lost sight, and demons and the undead have begun their conquest. The youngest prince of the Valgulas Empire, Emrey, finds himself amidst this chaos. As demons and the undead conquer lands, desperation drives humans to embrace demonic powers in a bid to obliterate their foes. Ulrik stands on a battlefield where humans and non-humans clash in a brutal fight for survival. Though humanity is united, the end looms near. But just as the war reaches its breaking point, the heavens open, and the rain begin to fall. “Salvation!” the people cry. “The gods have finally heard our prayers!” Yet, as they rejoice in newfound hope, the rain gives way to a river of blood flowing into the abyss. In a world where the divine is both a curse and a salvation, Emrey must navigate treacherous alliances, confront his own ambitions, and ultimately face the path that could lead him to become a God—or the harbinger of further destruction. Rain of Divinity is the first book in the Beyond the Clouds series. Each book will have 600 chapters.

"Dream of the Red Mansions," the seminal novel penned by the Qing Dynasty writer Cao Xueqin, presents a vivid tapestry of life within the aristocratic society of China's feudal era. Despite the constraint of word count, I shall endeavor to encapsulate its translation into English and offer a concise portrayal of its iconic imagery. The title "Dream of the Red Mansions" itself, translated as "A Dream of Red Mansions" by Yang Xianyi and Gladys Yang, alludes to the grandeur and opulence of the Jia clan's mansion, where the story unfolds. In Western cultures, "red" might connote blood or violence, whereas in the Chinese context, it symbolizes prosperity and status. This translation, though faithful to the original, carries a nuanced cultural difference that foreign readers may interpret through the lens of their own experiences. The novel revolves around the Jia, Shi, Wang, and Xue families, portraying their rise and fall amidst the complexities of power, wealth, and love. The protagonist, Jia Baoyu, an enigmatic young man endowed with a "Jade of Spiritual Enlightenment," finds himself at the center of a web of relationships, particularly his unrequited love for Lin Daiyu, a delicate and sensitive beauty, and his arranged marriage to Xue Baochai, a more practical and conformist figure. The translation captures the intricate emotional landscape of these characters, rendering their intricate feelings and motivations in a manner that resonates with English-speaking audiences. The beauty of Lin Daiyu, for instance, is described in poetic terms that evoke her ethereal grace and fragile fragility, while Xue Baochai's character is portrayed as a bastion of traditional virtues, embodying the expectations of feudal society. The novel's imagery extends beyond the personal lives of its protagonists, encompassing the intricate architecture of the mansions, the rich tapestry of cultural practices, and the profound philosophy embedded in its poetry and prose. The "Red Mansions" themselves become a metaphor for the fleeting nature of wealth and power, serving as a backdrop for the play of human emotions and desires. In translation, the novel's rich cultural heritage and nuanced language pose significant challenges. Yet, the translators have striven to preserve the essence of the original work while adapting it to suit the sensibilities of English readers. Through their efforts, "Dream of the Red Mansions" transcends linguistic and cultural barriers, offering a window into the vibrant world of China's feudal aristocracy and the human drama that unfolded within its confines.
