Dinner List

List of Books I will be reading on Qidian.

A woman flipped through a magazine, a rare spark of interest flickering in her usually indifferent eyes, "Hey, hubby, look, you and I made it onto the same ranking list." A man raised an eyebrow, "Oh, what list?" "The global top ten dream lovers for women, you're first, and I'm fifth!" "......" His power and wealth were overwhelming, his status was noble, and his demeanor was both brutal and ruthless. She was carefree and unruly, free-spirited and unconstrained, standing apart from the world, cold and indifferent. He loved her deeply and she cherished him to the bone, lovers who should have been able to have a perfect life.

Ethan wakes up expecting to see the walls of a hospital room—only to find a system message blinking in front of him: [Ding! You have killed a green worm] [Ding! Green worm has been added to your summoning list] Anything he kills becomes his to command?! Ethan finds himself in a brand new world filled with magic and power. Awakened with an SSS-ranked class, he rises to power by conquering everything that stands in his path. While other summoners struggle with their dozens, he gathers millions as his army. There is no limit to how much he can grow, but he quickly realizes that forbidden power doesn't come without consequences.

Gabriel was just another unlucky nerd – until he was sucked into Faytheria, a world where vampires eat chocolate, goddesses have teenage meltdowns, and magic is as unpredictable as a dragon with hiccups. Now, he's the "Player," a human hated by everyone, marked by a petulant goddess, and in love with the most sarcastic and dangerous vampire at the Arcane School. Between spellcasting classes that go wrong, bizarre detentions, and gala balls with mythological creatures, Gabriel just wants to survive. But with Seraphine Noctaria, the vampire who loves to literally play with her food, on his tail, Gabriel's life (or unlife) becomes a hilarious comedy of errors. And the burning question is: in the end, will Gabriel become dinner, or will he dine on a vampire?

[MATURE CONTENT] Arella is an angel. Well, she used to be an angel. A real, bona fide, halo-wearing, wing-flapping celestial being. That was until one tiny whoopsie where she unfortunately burns a pair of wings at a banquet happens. Fine! There was more than one tiny whoopsie. Fast forward a few hours later, and Arella found herself booted from the pearly gates with nothing but her wings and an eviction notice. Her family called it a "vacation." Ha! A vacation, in the human realm of all places! One hundred years later, Arella calls it her new life. Turns out, living among humans isn’t half bad—especially when you can turn invisibly smug at their lack of ability to fly. Early retirement has never been so blissful. That is, until the heavens smack her face with a message: Arella’s back on duty. And her new job? Marry. The. Demon. King. Wait, what?! Marrying the Demon King isn’t exactly on Arella’s bucket list, especially when demons and angels have been sworn enemies for eons. But orders are orders. So, off she goes, wings drooping and attitude cranked to full sass, to meet her new husband—a devilishly handsome demon who seems unnervingly smitten with her. Not to mention the heat that surges within her the moment she lays her eyes on him. Cue in dinner dates, fiery arguments (literally), and a series of catastrophes involving Arella purposefully setting a demon's hair ablaze with her holy fire. But as Arella settles into this bizarre celestial-demonic union, she uncovers a sinister plot that threatens not just her marriage but their entire reality. Turns out, angels and demons might have to join forces to stop a threat that neither side can handle alone. And Arella? She might just be the unexpected key to saving everyone. Armed with nothing but her quick wit, trusty angelic powers, and a painfully doting husband who may or may not leave her love notes carved into rock when she is angry, Arella must navigate battles, betrayals, and the occasional marital spat to protect their world. After all, nothing says “happily ever after” like saving existence itself, .... right? Right? One fallen angel. One absolutely smitten demon king. And a whole lot of chaos.

It started with fire. Then came the fog. Burning fragments rained down, tearing apart nations and throwing the world into chaos. People thought it was the end of the world. It was only the beginning of the end. The real disaster came after—the Pink Fog. It spread through cities, oceans, and skies, twisting people into monsters, turning animals into nightmares. Civilization fell, and only the ruthless survived. And then… there’s Bob. A man of few thoughts and even fewer worries. Eat when hungry. Sleep when tired. Punch anything in the way. So when a glowing meteor fragment landed in his noodle bowl... he ate it. Now, while the world fights for survival, Bob’s just looking for his next meal—crushing monsters, wrecking gangs, and steamrolling anyone dumb enough to stand between him and dinner. They thought they had seen the worst of the apocalypse. They weren’t ready for Bob.

Excerpt~~ "Do you know how long— I have wanted to do this?" When he spoke up, his voice was husky, a mixture of desire and sincerity. Matching with the look in his eyes.
