Defy The Alpha(s)

Defy The Alpha(s)

Two centuries after the Great War, peace between humans and werewolves was finally achieved, or so everyone believes. Werewolves reign like gods, and humans remain blissfully unaware of their true place in the new world order. To maintain this fragile balance, each year, a handful of "lucky" humans are selected from various districts to attend Lunaris Academy, a prestigious institution that promises glory, status, and a chance to mingle with the elite. Those chosen are hailed as the lucky few, destined to marry powerful alphas and rise as luna. This year, Violet Purple is among the chosen, much to everyone's surprise. For an orphaned girl adopted by a disgraced prostitute, this is a golden ticket to a better life or so she's told. But Lunaris Academy isn’t the paradise it’s painted to be. Everything Violet and her fellow humans have been taught is a lie. Humans are far from equal; they're pawns in a much larger game. The academy is nothing but a gilded cage, and the students are lambs led to slaughter, playthings for the alphas to toy with in their ruthless games. To make matters worse, Violet catches the attention of the most dangerous players in this game, the Terror Four: the Alpha of the North, Alpha of the South, Alpha of the East, and Alpha of the West. Each one is more dangerous, more twisted, and more powerful than the last. But even among themselves, the alphas are divided, each with their own deadly ambitions. Yet, they all have their eyes on her. They expect Violet to play along, to fall in line like the others who worship at their feet, to break under their games. But Violet isn’t like the others. She refuses to bow. She’ll defy them all.

Défier Les Alpha(s)

Deux siècles après la Grande Guerre, la paix entre les humains et les loups-garous a finalement été atteinte, du moins tout le monde le croit. Les loups-garous règnent comme des dieux, et les humains restent dans une ignorance bienheureuse de leur véritable place dans le nouvel ordre mondial. Pour maintenir cet équilibre fragile, chaque année, une poignée d'humains "chanceux" sont sélectionnés dans divers districts pour assister à l'Académie Lunaris, une institution prestigieuse qui promet gloire, statut et une chance de côtoyer l'élite. Ceux qui sont choisis sont acclamés comme les quelques chanceux, destinés à épouser de puissants alphas et à s'élever en tant que luna. Cette année, Violet Purple est parmi les élus, à la surprise de tous. Pour une fille orpheline adoptée par une prostituée déshonorée, c'est un ticket en or pour une vie meilleure ou du moins c'est ce qu'on lui dit. Mais l'Académie Lunaris n'est pas le paradis qu'on décrit. Tout ce que Violet et ses camarades humains ont appris est un mensonge. Les humains sont loin d'être égaux ; ils sont des pions dans un jeu bien plus vaste. L'académie n'est rien de plus qu'une cage dorée, et les étudiants sont des agneaux menés à l'abattoir, des jouets pour les alphas dans leurs jeux impitoyables. Pour aggraver les choses, Violet attire l'attention des joueurs les plus dangereux dans ce jeu, les Quatre Terreurs : l'Alpha du Nord, l'Alpha du Sud, l'Alpha de l'Est et l'Alpha de l'Ouest. Chacun est plus dangereux, plus tordu et plus puissant que le précédent. Mais même entre eux, les alphas sont divisés, chacun poursuivant ses propres ambitions mortelles. Pourtant, ils ont tous les yeux rivés sur elle. Ils s'attendent à ce que Violet suive le mouvement, tombe dans les rangs comme les autres qui vénèrent à leurs pieds, qu'elle casse sous leurs jeux. Mais Violet n'est pas comme les autres. Elle refuse de s'incliner. Elle va tous les défier.

Both Greek mythology and Chinese mythology have their own unique cultural background and historical origins, so they have similarities in some aspects, but there are also some significant differences. Greek mythology and Chinese mythology had different origins and development times. Greek mythology can be traced back to the 8th century B.C. while the origin of Chinese mythology can be traced back to the 1st century B.C. This meant that Greek mythology and Chinese mythology had different origins and development processes in history and culture. The main characters and gods of Greek mythology were all independent individuals with different personalities, abilities, and characteristics. In contrast, the gods in Chinese mythology tended to have more collective and unified characteristics. Their character and behavior were often influenced by other characters and events. Many gods in Greek mythology had complicated feelings and behaviors. These stories often showed human discussions about morality and ethics. In contrast, the emotional and ethical stories in Chinese mythology were relatively simple and often emphasized the power of morality and faith. Many stories in Greek mythology have a certain historical and realistic basis, reflecting the political, cultural and historical background of ancient Greek society. In contrast, the stories in Chinese culture and mythology often lacked historical and realistic basis, and more expressed the author's imagination and creative inspiration. There are some differences between Greek mythology and Chinese mythology in terms of form and content, but they both represent the important spirit and values of their respective cultures.

Nüwa's Creation Mythology
There were many records of Nüwa's creation. The complete literature record of the myth of Nüwa creating people was first found in the "General Meaning of the Way" by Ying Shao of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was said that at the beginning of the creation of the world, all things had been created but there were no humans. Nüwa had the idea of "creating people" when she was facing the water. She first made a small clay figurine similar to herself with yellow soil. The clay figurine was injected with vitality and "lived" on the ground. Later, in order to increase the speed, Nüwa picked up a rope and threw it into the mud. The mud fell to the ground and became" people". Goddess Nvywa was also believed to have created mankind and nurtured all living things. In Huainanzi, there were records of Goddess Nvywa's feats such as refining the five-colored stone to mend the sky, breaking the turtle pole, accumulating reed ashes to stop the obscene water, killing the black dragon to help Jizhou, and so on. Goddess Nvywa was also known as the mother of the earth and the goddess of creation. The earliest records of the myth of Nüwa creating humans were the "Songs of Chu" and "Classic of Mountains and Seas" of the Pre-Qin period. Although the records were vague, they also reflected the original mother goddess of Nüwa's function of creating humans. From the Han Dynasty, the image of Nüwa evolved from an independent god to a dual god in the social changes, and the status of her divinity declined. In the Tang Dynasty, the status of Nüwa in the myth of creating people declined further. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, the myth of Nüwa creating people gradually shifted to the field of literature. In the Song Dynasty, the theme of Nüwa creating people appeared in the field of literature, and the literary value of the myth was further highlighted.

China mythology and Egyptian mythology
I recommend "The God of Egypt", a fantasy novel written by Old Gao. The protagonist Fang Sui traveled through ancient Egypt, cultivated the Sun Golden Scripture, and the Book of the Dead. He could drive away demons and gods. The journey was cool, involving extraterrestrial civilizations, ruins, and mysteries. This book was a mix of Eastern and Western fantasy. It had a single female protagonist and wrote about the Egyptian mythological system. It was relatively niche but very interesting. Although some people felt that some of the plot settings were not in line with the historical facts of ancient Egypt and there were loopholes in the plot due to racial discrimination, the overall writing was acceptable. The plot was refreshing, dark, and decisive. It was a rare masterpiece that wrote Egyptian mythology. Then there was 'Master of the Gods', an oriental fantasy novel created by Alicization. The story revolved around the transmigration of souls, bringing everyone to experience the heroic stories of the world from ancient Greece to ancient Egypt. There was the magnificence of the creation of the world, the joys and sorrows of lovers, and the entanglement of human desires and the struggle against fate. "Opening Flowers: The System Crashed" was not bad either. It was a novel that would cause insomnia on rainy days. Chen Dong, a college student, traveled through the Flower Treasure Boss and his system crashed. After he became the richest man in the world, he activated the system to start his journey to the heavens. There was also detailed information about the different female leads. The Great Emperor Scripture was a fantasy novel written by Tianya Zhumeng. It was a story about the disappearance of a young man after a starry scroll was unearthed in Egypt during archaeology. The author had a million yuan guarantee to finish the book. Finally, I recommend the Deity Canon, a light novel written by Wind Mystery. Combining multiple mythological systems, the protagonist traveled 5000 years ago to begin his adventure and clear up the divine system. There was hardcore research and exciting plots. Although the updates were slow, it was worth watching.
