A Fantasy World of beautiful Demi Human monster girls working on a ranch alongside Hildegarde, the owner of the Ranch and a certified Rancher, Breeder, and Hunter! Join Hildegarde on her journey to build up her dilapidated Ranch on the edge of the Frontier, create a thriving farmland, house many different species of Demi Humans, and of course... breed quite a few of them too~! Sustaining herself and her partners, can Hildegarde survive by herself out on the edge of the Frontier, where monsters and bandits roam around freely looking to prey on the weak? Author's Note: THIS IS FUTANARI, YURI, AND FEMALE ONLY!!! This is a smut book alongside being a Survival/Farm Sim/ Life Sim type of novel, so understand that there will be sex, breeding, pregnancy and more; additionally, the Demi Human's are treated like a different race compared to Humans, and as such it may be uncomfortable for some to read about. There WILL be some scenes that will likely bring up that discomfort, as well as other discomforts, but there won't be anything incredibly dark within the novel, so don't worry about that; besides that, yes, this novel will have a story alongside the 'plot', so I hope I can do well with that too lol~! Come on in, enjoy, and if this doesn't sound like something you would like to read, please, don't force yourself; I want to value your time as much as I value my own. PLEASE do not spam comments, don't be rude for the sake of being rude, and do not feel the need to announce your own departure; if you have criticisms, I am open to hearing them because that is something I can improve from, but being rude and not offering criticisms is not welcome.

Bucky, the eldest of the three Ray brothers, watched the easy way Colt and Hedli moved around each other, a quiet contentment settling over his younger brother that Bucky hadn't seen in years. He was genuinely happy for them, but a familiar ache stirred within him. After his last relationship ended, he'd resigned himself to being the perpetually single brother, convinced that love wasn't in the cards for him. He was stuck in a self-imposed limbo, torn between the faint hope of finding someone and the strong pull to just stay single forever. Meanwhile, Ali arrived in town, a fresh face with a determined glint in her eyes. She was looking for ranch work, specifically. The Triple R Ranch's "Help Wanted" sign in the feed store caught her attention, and a small smile touched her lips. Ali wasn't just proficient; she was meticulous. Every task she was given, from mending fences to doctoring livestock, she tackled with an almost fierce dedication, intent on conquering it and ensuring it was done perfectly the first time. The Triple R was exactly what she'd been looking for. What Ali didn't know yet was that the Triple R was home to more than just hard work. She didn't know about Bucky, the oldest brother, battling his own internal demons about love. Will Ali take the job, pouring all her energy into proving herself on the ranch, or will the magnetic pull of Bucky's quiet intensity shift her focus from work to winning his hesitant heart?

No one knows exactly when, but "Ma Lon - The Ghost Can Ritual" has long become a familiar game passed down through generations of children in the neighborhood, whispered from one group of kids to the next. On summer nights when the power goes out, children sneak out of their homes, gathering in the dimly lit streets to catch the cool breeze. They share spine-chilling stories they’ve heard from older kids—tales that grow more twisted with each retelling. And among all the ghost stories, the one they love the most—the one they never get tired of hearing—is the legend of the "Ma Lon" game. Who would believe it? On the first moonless night of the month, when the clock strikes midnight and the darkness spreads thick like ink, all it takes is an empty can, three sticks of incense, and a few coconut candies to summon a restless spirit. A soul that once lived in this very neighborhood—trapped, unable to move on—will enter the can… And then, the game of tag begins.

Stella Sterling, born into wealth, had always followed the rules. Jaded by the hypocrisy of high society, she suddenly had a whim one day to have an ordinary romance.

The public speculated wildly about the identities of the Vicenzan tycoon and the female member with the surname Sterling. - Later on, a candid street photo that was accidentally captured went viral. In the dense night of The Spire on Vesper Island— Beside a Benz, a handsome, composed, and dignified man lifted a striking beauty in a red dress with one arm, pressing her against the car door and lowering his head for a deep kiss. In the faint light and shadow, the woman's flowing hair was swept by the wind, wrapping around the man's finger, which wore a pinky ring. Like a footnote to a romance, and even more like a vintage film frame etched into the axis of time. Someone immediately dug up the man's identity based on clues from the photo. The eldest son of Vicenza's Rhodes Family—low-profile and inscrutable, cold and untamable, and also the powerful contemporary authority of The Vesper Circle. And the alluring, glamorous belle by his side was none other than Stella Sterling. When the street photo spread to the mainland, everyone excitedly exclaimed: "The case is solved, the case is solved—"

She started live streaming, became a masked singer, and held concerts.
