Balladeer Cutscene

“You must bear a child, Celia. what good is a woman who isn’t a mother? What good is an empty womb?” “Especially when it’s a foreign womb, like yours…” It’s not an easy life when you’re watched month after month, when all the blame is placed at your feet for your young husband having no heir. Celia Devon Tralhamir, Crown Princess of Havietten, waits every month with hope mingled with fear. A child will secure her future. But it will also bind her for life to a husband she neither loves or respects, who refuses to see her abilities. Is that what she wants? Is she content to prioritise security over happiness, and be a wordless decorative vessel all her life? Or is she brave enough to try to forge her own path and seize fulfilment on her own terms? Even in a society that cannot recognise individual brilliance in a mere woman. A sequel to the WEBNOVEL book “Earning the Love of a Princess”, this novel follows another woman born into the Royal House of Devon, trying to fight the confines that threaten to stifle her happiness.

In a world where gods bicker like siblings, heroes flex for fame, and magic flows as freely as tavern ale, one unlucky soul gets the reincarnation deal of a lifetime—well, almost. Waking up in a fluffy body with twitchy ears and a tail that won't stop wiggling, our protagonist quickly realizes his new life isn’t exactly the stuff of epic ballads. He’s not a fearsome dragon, a dashing swordsman, or even a mildly threatening goblin. Nope. He’s a rabbit—a cute, pint-sized ball of fluff with "snack" written all over him. But hey, when life gives you carrots, you make stew… or, uh, figure out how not to become rabbit stew. Armed with quick wits, an absurd amount of luck, and a knack for dodging death by hopping around, this hare-raising adventure sees him hopping through a magical world full of danger, absurdity, and even romance. (Who knew some people were into rabbits?!) With gods watching his every move, adventurers mistaking him for loot, and predators thinking he looks delicious, one thing’s for sure: it’s not easy being prey. But with a little cunning and maybe some help from a snarky companion or two, he might just prove that even the smallest creature can have the biggest bite.

The six prefectures of Zhongbo were offered to foreign enemies on a silver platter, and Shen Zechuan was taken into custody in the capital, reduced to a drowning dog* loathed and condemned by all. Xiao Chiye followed the scent of the furor and made his way over. But instead of setting others on him, he kicked Shen Zechuan with his very own leg, rendering the latter an invalid. Who would expect this invalid to turn around and bite him in a counterattack until he was all drenched in blood? That was the start of an epic feud between both men who tore at each other every time they come face-to-face with one another. “Fate wants to bind me here for life, but this is not the path I choose. The yellow dust submerged my brothers deep under. I have no wish to bow in submission to an illusory fate. The imperial edict can’t save my troops, and the imperial court can’t fill the stomachs of my mounts. I’m no longer willing to lay down my life for this purpose. I want to surmount that mountain. I am going to fight for myself.” Note : a ‘drowning dog’ is someone who is down and out, having lost favor or power. tags: adult, yaoi, historical, mature, drama, enemies to lovers, r18 DISCLAIMER: THIS STORY IS NOT MINE AND I'M NOT THE TRANSLATOR EITHER.

An epic tale began its most magnificent prologue in the year 192 of the Crimson Moon Calendar.

When was it that I was transmigrated? I couldn't remember exactly how old I was when I suddenly became aware of memories from a past life. One where I lived on a planet called 'Earth', and was passionate about video games. However I didn't like playing games for the story, instead I liked to perfect the combat. However that life ended at some point. Now I was in a game I had played the most, a game with incredible combat, and thousands of different playstyles when it came to combat. Unfortunately, it focused heavily on the story, and I had skipped all the cutscenes. My name was Atlas Black, a member of the infamous Black family, and a minor villain in the story. I could remember most characters, and their fights, but Atlas was a disappointing person to be. He was the first person to get beat by the Hero, and subsequently expelled from the school. However when I gained the system from the game, I realized that Atlas was just a bundle of wasted potential. Perhaps I could change my fate as a minor villain.

The reason is because, reasons... well, you don't need to know the specifics. In this novel, it takes place in a different time stream than the other novel, An Undead's Rise to Godhood. In this novel, I aim to a different angle than AURG as well as the main character Seichi Kurotachi. All of the characters and soon to be characters from both novels will be featured. Yes, both novels. That means characters from this novel can also appear in AURG if I deem it so. But anyways, I hope you have a good read with this one like you do on AURG, and thank you for noticing this young author. Note: I don't own the cover, and my main focus will still be AURG
