leaving the ranch

Having traveled to the Otherworld game for ten years, Li Ang, without any cheats or a wise mentor, fought his way to become the core support of the world's strongest Adventurer's Guild as an ordinary person, earning outstanding merit and being considered the cornerstone of the guild. However, after the team introduced a brand-new merit algorithm, he was defined as consuming resources without contributing and was directly 'optimized'. Ten years of effort went down the drain, and it was only then that the game system appeared in front of him. He decided to reorganize a highly professional and efficient Adventurer's Guild to return to the peak. "Yes, you're a founding member, but if veterans loaf off openly, how can we lead the group?" "The recent key tactics all revolve around my Support Magic—" "Yeah, which made everyone exhausted to death," a member interrupted Li Ang's words.

Lin Da, a former professional player, arrived in the game "Mystic Continent" and aimed to team up with a few "Young Ladies" from Another World to conquer fifty levels of Mystic Realm and become the strongest adventurer squad. However, ever since the team had risen to fame, they had changed somewhat. "Why is your healing so slow? I almost got killed by the Magical Creatures." "The reason your level is so low is that you don’t train diligently, always have crooked thoughts about us. This 23-year-old guy is so disgusting." "Better leave the team and become my servant instead; my pet dog just needs a playmate." The attitude of the three Young Ladies chilled Lin Da’s heart, and he opted out of this team that he had been with for three years and had grown deeply fond of. Only then did they realize who the core of the team really was. When they regretted their actions too late and tried to apologize to Lin Da, seeking to join his team, Lin Da glanced at the team composed of prettier and hotter beautiful girls behind him and said helplessly: "Sorry, my team is full."

Mo Rao was born into a family of military doctors. Her parents had risked their lives to save Fu Ying’s grandmother, so the latter forced Fu Ying to take Mo Rao in as his wife. Mo Rao always knew that Fu Ying had a dream girl named Qu Ru. This girl failed to marry Fu Ying as she desired because Fu Ying’s grandmother stopped them. After their marriage, Fu Ying was very considerate of Mo Rao. They even had high compatibility especially in bed. Fu Ying would always find himself deeply immersed in Mo Rao’s tenderness. Until one day, Fu Ying said, “Qu Ru has returned. Let’s divorce. I will transfer the property I promised you to your name.” Mo Rao said, “Can we not divorce? What if… I’m pregnant…?” Fu Ying answered heartlessly, “Abort it! I don’t want anymore obstacles to appear between me and Qu Ru. Also, Qu Ru has leukemia, and your bone marrow happens to be compatible with hers. If you’re willing to donate yours, I can promise you anything.” Mo Rao said, “What if my condition is that we don’t divorce?” Fu Ying’s eyes turned cold. “Mo Rao, don’t be too greedy. Even if I promise you for Qu Ru’s sake, you know full well that I don’t love you.” The words ‘I don’t love you’ stabbed at Mo Rao’s heart like a knife. Her smile suddenly became twisted and she was no longer the docile woman she used to be. “Fu Ying, this is the first time you repulse me so. You call me greedy, but aren’t you the same? You want me to divorce you so you can be with Qu Ru? Sure, I’ll agree to that. But you’re even dreaming that I’ll save her? Don’t forget, there’s no such thing as getting the best of both worlds in life, just like you and me.” Then Mo Rao left. Fu Ying actually felt suffocated, and this feeling drove him mad. When Mo Rao appeared once more, she had become a dazzling star. When she appeared before Fu Ying, holding hands with her new beau, Fu Ying couldn’t care less and said, “Baby, didn’t you say you would only love me?” Mo Rao smiled faintly. “Sorry, ex-husband. I was mistaken back then. You were only a replacement. I actually love someone else.”

Have you ever wondered what you'd do if Mother Nature decided to take back the world? When the cities fall and the grid goes down for good, how would you survive? For Tran Thanh Phuong - a handsome, quiet, and steady young man - the answer was to leave it all behind before things got bad. After his career in the city soured, he traded the urban grind for a simple life back in his hometown, raising chickens and tending his grandfather's farm. Just as he'd settled into a peaceful rhythm, the world began to unravel. Unprecedented natural disasters and raging pandemics plunged his sleepy little village into chaos. It's in the midst of this growing despair that Phuong, while out herding his goats, stumbles upon a familiar face from his past: his old schoolmate, Nguyen Bao Khang, collapsed and barely conscious on the side of the road. The first day they met again: Khang: “Hey, handsome... got a place a guy could crash for a few days?” Phuong says nothing, simply turning his back to lead his goats home. Khang: “Wait! I swear I don’t eat much! And I can work—I’ll pull my own weight. I won’t be a freeloader, I promise!” ... Some time later... Khang: “Phuong, what would you say if I offered to be your wife?” Phuong: “Okay.” Khang: “... Wait, what?” Who knew one little joke would make the stoic farmer change his mind in the blink of an eye? Not only did Tran Thanh Phuong agree, but he immediately marched over and hauled all of Khang's meager belongings into his own bedroom. ... 1. This is a work of fiction. Please suspend your disbelief and enjoy the story. 2. Please forgive my mistakes, as English is not my first language. I appreciate your understanding!
