You can have Susan—I’m now in love with someone else!” Claire shot back, her words sharp and final. "You can't be with anyone. Do you even know how sleepless nights I've without you?" Evander's hold on her tightened. "I'll see how you become some else when I'll claim you," he pronounced before crashing his lips on her.

If something feels 'forced' it's meant to be, ask why and I guarantee you will enjoy the novel more. ------------------- Synopsis: This is the story of a young man who was reincarnated as a dragon with a near-insatiable curiosity. Initially sparked by questioning his own reincarnation, he quickly gets lost in the endless world of magic, using his deep understanding of advanced sciences to learn the laws and properties of a new type of energy known as mana. However, soon enough, the table would flip, and he would begin using that very same energy to expand his knowledge of science, to the point that he would begin questioning his own understanding of the world. Although not his original intention, with the combination of his intelligence, expanding curiosity, and the 'miracles' that occurred to allow for his existence, he quickly found himself climbing the mountain of strength as if it were a small hill before eventually climbing to a point where it seemed as if he himself was the peak itself.

Blurb: Benign Cross had died in glory on the battlefield, only to reawaken with a system that needed his help to balance three realms and stop them from glitching. Too much work? Not for Benign Cross and his savior complex! He took the job and underestimated it—until he realized that there was more to the glitches, and the Primordial Core wasn’t what he thought. ~~~ “But this can’t be possible,” Benign muttered, sluggishly moving toward the other side of the sand hill he stood on. Upon reaching the edge, his eyes widened at the landscape and the ancient battlefield. The battlefield was littered with the bodies of soldiers and forgotten weaponry. The whole desert seemed to be covered with blood and the dead, especially some strange horse-like creatures. The bodies mostly belonged to men wearing ancient clothes. Had no one come for their corpses? No one to bury them? "What historical event happened here?” Benign asked, feeling it resembled mass murder more than a battlefield. [This event will be recorded in history as the Clash of Realms. You, Benign Cross, shall be recorded with it.] ~~~ It was a call to doom, and Benign Cross was the only one who could answer it!
