Please welcome Sir Arthur Hastings to deliver a speech on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of London.” Arthur's gaze swept across the crowd before him, looking at the young faces and murmured, “Agares, what do you think I should say?” The Red Devil's wraith hovered behind him, saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth, “Look at these ignorant souls; they still worship you as a hero. Why not say something they'd like to hear?” Arthur took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar, “Oxford is a bunch of whores' bastards!” “Oh!!!!” The audience erupted into thunderous applause. “Cambridge is the same!” he added immediately. The applause grew even more fervent... (The protagonist, possessed by a devil, travels through 19th-century Britain in a world without magic)

My Pet Beast is really not an Evil God

My Pet Beast is really not an Evil God

Gary Smith arrived in a peculiar world of beastmasters, where an ancient taboo was reborn from the depth of time, and an evil god was lurking. In this world, birds and beasts, rivers and mountains, even elements could spawn spiritual power and turn into pet beasts. Among them, the powerful ones became ecological niches by themselves, radiating secret realm ecosystems such as the Yellow Spring, Skeleton Kingdom, Succubus Nest, and Kingdom of the Sky Tree, nurturing countless followers. The beastmasters make contracts with the pet beasts, nurture them, and control the spiritual power. After witnessing the "Taboo Sun" event, Gary Smith obtained the ability to extract materials from everything in the world and compile "Secret Food". Through the Evolutionary Secret Food, the combination of "The Shattered Dusk World" + "Ancient Dragon’s Dead Egg" results in the Feast of the End. When the pet beast consumes it, it evolves into the Dusk Dragon God. The Dusk Domain erodes the world, turning into the God at the end of time. The Skill Secret Food allows the pet beasts to plunder skills from everything, becoming omniscient and omnipotent. The Sacrificial Secret Food snatches the taboo time, sacrifices the ancient beings, and blasphemes against the gods. His style of beast control also started to become peculiar. There is the Spider Shadow that devours ancient dragons and weaves dreams of all lives with its threads, the Red Master that pollutes the multiverse, and the Devourer of the Realms, who consumes worlds... In response to this, he explained, "My pet beasts are just a bit peculiar. They really are not evil gods!"

Bro, I'm not an Undead!

Bro, I'm not an Undead!

Everyday was the same for Skullius. An Undead minion of the lowest order like him, didn’t have to find a grand purpose… other than mining mana gems for his Lich master, of course. His peers thought so. They lacked ambition. To be fair, so did he. But there was just that something that kept nagging at him. A spark that no other skeleton seemed to have. Other than being the sassy bullshitter obsessed with mana that he was, why did Skullius vaguely remember being something other than a Moronic Undead drone once? What had come before his Undeath? In the end, it was this spark that allowed our atrocious hero to escape the clutches of his evil master and reach another world. And it is in this world, chock full of dangers – most beckoned by Skullius’ abnormally horrendous luck, to be honest – that the skeleton’s journey begins. In Aigas – the new world – he prepared for the greatest getback of an age armed with a power greater than that of the Liches of Deadmanland! ...... [Author’s Answers To Popular Readers’ Questions] Q: (IHateArjuun77) -Hey author, is your book trash?- A: (Author) -Haha, screw you dear reader. The answer is NO. The story has elements of comedy, action, magic, adventure and Brutality. Like it gets really dark sometimes. There’s a comprehensive story with characters that I tried my damndest to NOT make generic on top of a cool power system that’s for the most part easy to understand. So its not trash. Q: (IFreakingHateArjuun56) -Hey author why is your first volume so slow paced and... trash?- A: (Author) -Haha. It’s how I designed the First Volume to be. It’s a fun setup that doesn’t focus on many things other than the MC’s mentality, powers and route of progression. The next volumes are normal paced, focusing on the world, the villains and general expansion but all while still retaining the book theme and fun experience- Q: (ShadeIsAPervert001) -Hey author, I instinctively sense that I’ll hate this book, when should I drop? A: (Author) -Is this the same reader?! Anyway, I’ll give a range. Read a minimum of the first 20 chapters to a max of up to chapter 44 before you decide on anything too rash.

The wind doesn't leave a sound, the wild goose doesn't leave a shadow, the feeling
'The wind doesn't leave a sound, the wild goose doesn't leave a shadow' conveyed an ethereal and detached state of mind. From a natural phenomenon, the wind passed through the bamboo forest, and the bamboo made a sound, but the wind stopped the sound and left no trace. The wild goose flew over the cold pool, and the shadow of the wild goose disappeared. This revealed to people that many things in the world were temporary and illusory. In life, we are often disturbed by all kinds of things, such as fame and fortune, honor and disgrace. However, these things were like the relationship between wind and bamboo, geese and ponds. In the long river of time, they only existed for a short time. From the perspective of a gentleman's attitude, when things came, he would treat them with his heart and show his proper attitude and ability. After the matter was over, his heart would no longer be conflicted and he would return to peace. This taught people to learn not to cling to the past, whether it was the glory of success or the pain of failure, not to let them occupy their hearts for a long time. He should uphold an open-minded and free attitude, not be burdened by trivial matters, not be tied down by the past, live in the present, and be able to let go of things in time after the matter, and welcome the various possibilities of the future with an empty state of mind. This was also a pursuit of self-cultivation, to maintain inner peace and freedom, not to be disturbed by the outside world. "The Crane Drinks the Spring Breeze" is equally exciting.

And leave
I don't quite understand why you said "discord" to express your disgust for the concept of "discord", or do you have other special meanings? In ancient times, divorce was a way for both husband and wife to divorce by agreement. It was also often used as a plot element in modern web novels. In some online novels, the plot of separation was often accompanied by the awakening of female consciousness, the growth of characters, and the entanglement of family relationships. For example, in " I'm Not A Wife," the female protagonist encountered many obstacles when she wanted to get a divorce after seeing the true nature of the scumbag. In other novels, divorce was the beginning of a woman's escape from a difficult situation and a new life and career. If you can explain your thoughts in detail, I can give a more targeted answer.

Peony will leave
Jiang Li was another name for peony flowers. In ancient times, people would give each other peony to express their reluctance to part when they parted, so peony was called separation. Peony was a kind of perennially grown herb. Its roots were thick and sturdy, and it bloomed in May to June every year. Its flowers were large and brightly colored. Peony had high requirements for light and could not tolerate dark environments. However, it needed to be shaded in summer to avoid being burned by strong light. Peony had a strong resistance to cold and was suitable to be planted in the cold winter in the north. It had low requirements for soil and could grow normally in most soil. However, peony could not be planted in saline-alkalized land and low-lying land because it could not survive in these environments. Peony was often used in ancient Chinese literature to express the feeling of separation and was praised as a symbol of humility. In short, Jiang Li was another name for peony flowers, implying the feelings of separation and beautiful legends.
