the forest sanctuary

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!

[My WSA 2024 Entry novel! Please vote] Sanctuary—a word that conjures visions of peace, protection, and unyielding safety. But what truly defines a place as a sanctuary? Can any refuge withstand the relentless forces of destruction, or does it take something more—a spirit of defiance and hope? For Ruseigner and Mae Yakane, renowned wildlife conservationists and environmentalists, the word became their life's mission. As the march of human progress devoured the natural world, the Yakanes spearheaded a monumental effort to carve out a haven for the threatened wildlife and ecosystems they cherished. With global support, they set out to create a sanctuary—a symbol of hope in a world teetering on the brink of environmental collapse. But fate is a cruel architect. Just as their dream took shape, tragedy struck. Ruseigner and Mae were lost, leaving their vision unfinished. Their son, Froja Yakane, inherited not just their legacy but the weight of their unfulfilled promise. At just 19, Froja’s life was stolen by an assassin’s hand. In his final breath, he vowed to seize any chance at redemption—to be stronger, bolder, and more relentless in pursuing his parents’ dream. And fate, for once, showed mercy. Reborn in a parallel world, Froja becomes Canna—a young man with a second chance to build the sanctuary his parents envisioned. But this world is far from welcoming. As Canna traverses lands filled with strange races and uncharted territories, he faces challenges that test his resolve and his belief in the very concept of sanctuary. Enemies, both seen and unseen, conspire to crush his efforts, but in the darkest of moments, Canna finds allies in the most unexpected places. Through trials of strength, cunning, and heart, Canna learns that a true sanctuary isn’t just a place—it’s a beacon of hope, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and a defiance against the forces of chaos. Will Canna succeed in creating the sanctuary his parents dreamed of, or will he be consumed by the perils of this new world? In a tale of courage, transformation, and unwavering determination, Canna’s journey will reveal the true meaning of sanctuary—and the price one must pay to protect it.

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.

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.

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.

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?

"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." …

In the jagged, rain-lashed peaks of the Black Timber Range, Elara Solari is done running. A twenty-four-year-old sorceress of immense but physically draining power, she has claimed a decaying mountain manor as the foundation for an impossible dream: a kingdom where magic, fang, and claw can coexist in peace. But in a world governed by "Low Honor" and centuries of genocide, peace is the most dangerous ambition of all. ​ Her first ally is Vardos, a massive, battle-scarred werewolf who was left for dead by his own pack. Bound to Elara by a life-debt after she nearly kills herself to heal his mangled body, Vardos is the ultimate cynic. He doesn't believe in her "sanctuary"—he only believes in the weight of his fist and the sharpness of his teeth. ​ As the manor transforms from a ruin into a fortress, it begins to draw the misfits and runaways of a broken world. But building a throne requires more than compassion; it requires the grit to do the "dirty work" the history books leave out. While Elara fights to keep her vision alive, Vardos must act as her High Executioner, standing between his new Queen and the relentless tides of vampires, werewolf legions and other enemies coming to burn The Lost Sanctuary to the ground.
