"Don't you have someone waiting for you in Itaca Captain? Maybe a wife or a son?!" I was so furious I didn't even notice the complete shock on Odysseus' face, and his shock rapidly turned into anger as well. "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! YOU KNOW THERE'S NOBODY IN ITACA WAITING FOR ME!" "HOW DARE YOU TALK LIKE THAT? WHAT ABOUT PENELOPE AND TELEMACHUS?!" "WHO THE FUCK ARE THESE PEOPLE NOW?!" And that was the moment everything I thought I knew crumbled. [!attention!

En el Río Xishui, vivía una familia con el apellido Ruo, cuya suerte era tan desastrosamente mala que parecía que la desgracia poseía sus propias almas. Cuando otras familias tenían cosechas abundantes, la Familia Ruo no cosechaba un solo grano. Las verduras que plantaban eran devoradas por insectos, sus gallinas contraían la peste aviar, sus cerdos la fiebre porcina... A pesar de que el hogar estaba lleno de hombres fuertes, estaban locos, lisiados o ciegos... Lo que podría haber sido una familia de grandes perspectivas se convirtió en la más pobre en un radio de diez millas. Lo único que otros envidiaban de la Familia Ruo era ¡sus florecientes miembros masculinos! La anciana de la Familia Ruo había dado a luz a seis hijos, quienes luego le dieron cuatro nietos. Soñaba día y noche con tener una nieta. Cuando finalmente tuvo un nieto, para su consternación, el niño era mentalmente discapacitado: con más de tres años, todavía no podía hablar ni caminar, ni siquiera podía comer o aliviarse sin ayuda. ¡Todos pensaban que la Familia Ruo nunca cambiaría su fortuna en esta vida! Eso fue hasta que el niño de tres años, mentalmente discapacitado, de repente dijo —Mamá... Los cielos comenzaron a cambiar. El mundo empezó a volverse misterioso. En el patio de la Familia Ruo, los caquis maduraron de la noche a la mañana. Las verduras en los campos, casi devoradas por los insectos, se volvieron frondosas y verdes. La gallina vieja que nunca había puesto huevos de repente comenzó a poner... Mientras otros enfrentaban hambrunas, el granero de la Familia Ruo estaba lleno. El hijo mayor ya no estaba loco, el segundo hijo ya no estaba lisiado, el tercer hijo ya no estaba ciego... La anciana de la Familia Ruo, con las manos en las caderas, se reía a carcajadas hacia el cielo —¿Quién dice que mi Xuanbao es un simpleton? ¡Claramente es un tesoro de bendiciones! (Esta es una novela de agricultura con un toque de encanto de hadas, donde la protagonista femenina en una vida anterior era un lirio del día recién despertado que se ha reencarnado como humana.)

—Tu cama está fría —habló una voz en la habitación que hizo que abriera los ojos de par en par por el miedo. Nerviosa, se giró, tragando suavemente al ver una sombra en su cama como si alguien yaciera allí. El hombre que había estado tumbado se sentó, emergiendo de las sombras donde había estado esperándola. —¿Qué haces aquí? —preguntó ella cuando sus pies tocaron el suelo y él se impulsó hacia arriba para empezar a caminar hacia ella. Sus rasgos guapos se veían más oscuros de lo habitual por la falta de luz en la habitación. —Vine a encontrarte —inclinó la cabeza—, ¿a dónde fuiste? —Salí a caminar —fue la rápida respuesta que hizo que él sonriera, una sonrisa que a ella le daba más miedo. Ella dio un paso atrás cuando él se acercó a ella. Eso no lo detuvo de acorralarla, y su espalda golpeó la pared detrás de ella. Levantó la mano hacia su rostro, y ella cerró los ojos, asustada. Ella tembló cuando sus dedos trazaron un camino desde su sien pasando por su mandíbula y cuello. Su cabello rubio estaba suelto. —¿En medio de la noche? —ella no le respondió sabiendo que él podía descifrar sus mentiras a través de sus palabras. Él se acercó más, lo que hizo que ella girara su rostro lejos de él y sus palabras vibraron en la piel de su cuello—, ¿fuiste a verlo, mi dulce niña?

I'm Xavier Cromwell, a 21-year-old university student and web novel author. My days are pretty routine—attending classes, managing assignments, and squeezing in time to write my novel "RISE FROM THE ASHES". Today seemed no different, the steady clatter of my keyboard filling the room as I crafted another chapter. But then the doorbell rang, interrupting my flow. DING! I sighed, reluctantly pushing away from my desk and heading to the door. Little did I know, my life was about to take a turn I never saw coming. The moment I opened the door, something—or rather someone—came barreling into me. It was like a pink blur, and before I could even react, I was on the floor, knocked flat by what felt like a human missile. Clutching onto me, the pink rocket—no, a girl, her arms wrapped tightly around me—gazed up with sparkling eyes and, in the sweetest, most endearing voice, she whispered: "I've finally found you, my HUSBAND~" *** Note: The story takes place in an alternate earth, with a different geography and countries.
