After successfully graduating with a master's degree and passing the civil service exam, Chen Ying returns to his hometown's Forestry Bureau to become a wildlife rescuer. He thought his daily work would just involve saving animals and petting all sorts of furry creatures, but ever since he saved a leopard and her two cubs, his life has become incredibly busy. No one told him that the leopard's best friend was a giant panda! And that giant panda was pregnant with twins and couldn't eat bamboo because of inflamed gums. Chen Ying had to call a dentist in the middle of the night to help the pregnant panda with dental fillings and cleaning, also providing a prenatal examination. After that day, word spread among the animals in the mountains that a bipedal vet had arrived who could solve all kinds of ailments! Hold on, being single isn't a sickness and can't be cured! What's that, you wish to arrange a meeting with domesticated animals to fix your single status? Well, that might be worth considering. Unbeknownst to Chen Ying, the animal community throughout the country came to know that the bipedal vet from the Apmu Township rescue station could help solve the problem of being single. Seriously, can't we keep this on the down-low? He's a vet, not a matchmaker!

They say that 90 percent of the world's oceans have been unexplored, due to just how much floor there is to cover. Imagine a world where, instead of deep trenches of water, our oceans were filled with forests—endless forests—where the further you go, the stranger, and larger the creatures become. The air growing thicker, and heavier, with the stinging sharpness of ozone; trees that stretch into the stratosphere, or bottomless muddy quagmires that are so deep that the bodies claimed can never be discovered; deer the size of whales, or bigger still, with an anomalous number of legs; the oppressive daytime darkness, never ending, due to the boundless appetite of the trees. Who knows what untold methods of ravenous mutilation might be discovered in the great beyond; or what unfathomable treasures lurk just beyond the shadow's edge. We find ourselves marooned in little islands of flat plain in the midst of miles and endless miles of oppressive wooded wilderness. Do not let the sunlight fool you. There is nothing keeping the terrors of the depths from venturing into the light.

Vol 1: The Unicorn's Forest Charlie Rivers is a 14-year old girl who is trying to get through high school without being noticed when she finds herself hearing a voice asking for help when she is only one of two who can hear it. She agrees, despite the fact the other person is someone she doesn't like. When she meets the 'voice' that needed help, she learns that it's a unicorn, yet she's the only one who seems to be able to see the horn. Everyone else thinks it's a horse. Charlie also learns that by having agreed to help the unicorn, she'd gotten herself involved with a group of friends, including the other person who can hear the unicorn, that she hadn’t been really involved with before. Not only is it changing her normal schedule drastically, given she hadn’t hung out with anyone before, but even her personal space seems under attack at times. As she continues to help the unicorn, she funds that going back to how she was isn’t as attractive as it had once been, before she was helping the unicorn but also she wonders if she really would want to. *Minor spoiler in the synopsis for vol. 2 if you haven't read vol. 1* Vol 2: Tip of Other Worlds Charlie and her friends begin traveling to other worlds in search of the world that the griffin canyon connects to. While they do that, Charlie finds herself torn with wanting to grow her relationship with Alex and beginning the expedition through different worlds. Then as the expedition begins, she finds more than she ever expected to find on other worlds, but ever in the back of her mind is the dream she had in which Beth, her best friend, dies in. A dream she's determined to keep from happening, even if she has to sacrifice the friendship that's come to mean so much to her. *Minor spoilers in vol. 3 synopsis* Vol. 3: Acclimating to a New World Charlie leaves her friends and is taken by The Lost. Her friends continue on and encounter a family who has the same disease they had just recovered from. While helping them, they learn about how this world is that of a matriarchal society and has been since ancient times. What that means they can't say, only that it's going to be awkward. Charlie comes to after a while, feeling like her brain had been I'm a fog and that she had been in a waking dream, only to find she's naked and in a kind of cage where she learns she's been taken as a slave. While she has no idea how this happened, she's determined to find a chance to successfully get out of that situation.

A legend is born like this: an interesting Otherworld, an engaging plot, and an interesting soul. All that's left is to choose a Race for the protagonist. To highlight his glorious, great, and righteous image of saving the weak, we need... Huh? My hand slipped, and I seem to have chosen goblin? … Shire unexpectedly transmigrated and found he had become a goblin. As everyone knows, they are the most miserable species on the continent, unable to get enough to eat or warm clothes, and Adventurers get pumped up as if on steroids when they see a goblin. To survive, he had no choice but to unify the goblin Race. Fortunately, he has a talent tree. 【Mist Gaze: You can see adjacent unknown areas】 "Let me see what you've got. Oho, a Magic Crystal Ore Mine. This area is mine now, so get the hell off my turf." 【Blessings of the Gods: You can forcibly obtain a blessing for your Domain from a Divine Being】 "Life God, what has blessing my Domain got to do with you?" 【Star of the Domain: You can mark any target; as long as it appears in your Domain, it will be displayed】 "Hmm? Why is a Demon wandering on my turf? Is that you, Joy?" Thus, while the three factions of Gods, Demons, and nobles vied for power and slandered one another, no one noticed a powerful force rising in the depths of the forest. "I'm telling you now," Shire said, raising one finger at them, "You don't have the Ability to stand before us and say you can easily handle us. Goblins don't buy that." …

“The forest was never silent… it was watching.” Aren Voss is nothing more than a low-rank forest ranger—tasked with patrolling the edges of a dangerous wilderness most people fear. No power. No talent. No future. At least… that’s what everyone believes. But one day, deep within the forest, a beast doesn’t run from him. It watches. And somehow… it listens. Aren soon discovers something impossible—he can communicate with beasts. Not control them. Not command them. Understand them. But in a world where beast tamers dominate through force, Aren’s ability is different. Strange. Dangerous. Because the strongest creatures in the forest aren’t looking for a master… They’re looking for someone worth acknowledging. And if he fails? The forest won’t let him leave.

In the blood-soaked chaos of the South's Dark Forest—where Ethereal Beasts reign supreme and humans are mere prey—an undefeated professional fighter from Earth awakens in the body of a slaughtered tribe's last newborn. Betrayed by the very monsters she once protected, the Shadow Sovereign Nyxara, Apex of the forest, discovers the infant survivor. Consumed by guilt, she claims him as her own, naming him Kael and raising the boy with her own savage blood. Fed the essence of slain Ethereal Beasts, Kael's body awakens to primal power. His modern knowledge—lethal fighting techniques, tactical cunning, and forbidden wisdom from a civilized world—fuses with the forest's merciless laws. What begins as a helpless child's desperate struggle for survival slowly transforms into something far more dangerous. As Kael grows from feral boy to battle-scarred warrior, he masters the art of no-mercy combat. He hunts the hunters. He breaks the strong. And when Nyxara falls protecting him her sacrifice ignites a vow that will shake the entire South: End the chaos. Unite the tribes. Civilize the untamed.
