Waking up in a strange world, Judith found herself in the middle of a desert, in chains and in rags. At first she assumed she was being trafficked, but soon after, she realized she was somehow in the fantasy world of her favourite novel. A fantasy world in which humans lived on a planet sized titan, bonded with mythical creatures to gain powers and went through insane climate conditions due to the titan periodically moving closer to its version of the sun. These were just the surface level of this world, because one of the reasons Judith fell in love with fantasy world, was because of its complex ecosystem, simple but well thought out power system, riveting political battles and incredibly endearing characters. Finding herself in this world, Judith didn't know what to feel. But thinking back on her old world, the pain and struggles she had gone through and the losses she experienced, it was a no brainer to prefer this world. And even better, this was a world in which she knew better than the back of her hand. So if one thing was for certain, she was going to use her knowledge to make this world hers. With this determination, Judith set out to carve a life out in this world, and succeed where she had failed in her previous one. ... At least that was the plan, but as it turns how, the person responsible for sending her to this world, was not doing it out of the kindness of her heart, but aimed to use her. Sun Qi sent Judith to this world to be a sacrifice, so she could gain the power she needed to save herself from a curse that would end her life. But disagreeing with this, Sun Qi's brother Wukong went into this world, in order to stop Judith and send her back to her original home. Unfortunately, things don't pan out as Wukong had initially thought. When he finds out that sacrificing Judith may be the only way to save his sister. But doing so would go against everything he stood for. Wukong will have to decide what is important to him, as he watches the events of this world unravel and in turn shape him. -------------- Author here, this novel will be very loosely based on the titular character Sun Wukong.
