Back in 1996, when the daughter of the Old Xie family, Xie Wanying, said she wanted to be a doctor, many laughed. "Phoenix begets phoenix, dog spawns dog. A truck driver’s daughter becoming a doctor is as likely as a sow climbing a tree." "I’m not just going to be a doctor, I’m going to be a female chest surgeon," said Xie Wanying. Her words provoked even greater waves of disdain within the doctors' community. Relatives who were doctors ridiculed her mercilessly: "Do you know how high the admission scores are for medical students? Do you think you can make it?" "There are zero female chief chest surgeons in the country. Who do you think you are!" A bunch of people mocked her: "You'll probably only get into a third-rate medical college and end up as a health worker in a small county town. It's easy to imagine what sort of marriage you'll have." After the college entrance exams, Xie Wanying entered the top surgical class in the country with the highest science scores in the province, with department heads in the Capital’s top-tier hospitals vying for her from her internship beginnings. "Student Xie Wanying, come to our digestive surgery department." "No, she must come to our urological surgery—" "Pediatric surgery is in short supply of female doctors like student Xie Wanying." Circles of relatives and friends: … At this time, Xie Wanying independently completed the youngest Tetralogy of Fallot surgery in the country, represented the national association of chest surgery at an international medical forum, and published the world’s first minimally invasive heart valve repair surgery, becoming truly the foremost surgeon in the field of female surgery! As for the marriage concerns that everyone "worried" about: A brother from the Returned Overseas Faction, a hot bachelor within the Capital, changed his QQ profile picture to Junior Sister Xie. The young CEO, a handsome man, came to the hospital every day with flowers, keen to offer a diamond ring. Not to mention, a whole host of suitors had long since worn a path to the Old Xie Family's doorstep...

In a twisted version of the Old West, where Native American fables come to life, the land is teeming with blight and cessation. Skinwalkers, Bakwas, Urayuli, and even the dreaded Wendigo roam freely, constantly terrorizing humanity. In this unforgiving landscape, survival becomes the supreme dream, luxury an impossibility. But hope lies in Ether, an eccentric substance that defies reason, and Sigils, granting individuals extraordinary abilities. So, as men and women from the burgeoning East venture into the treacherous West, they must navigate the nightmares that lurk within the wilderness and the horrors from above, below, and within. Survival becomes a battle for the mind, body, and soul.

Note: this book was originally - Navigating Romance as a werewolf among humans. This is an untraditional werewolf story. Cover art is not my own. Please let me know if I need to take it down. "In order to survive the changing world, we must learn to live among humans or risk starving." it wasn't the ideal situation, but the only option to stop the pack and most importantly, their pups from suffering due to a lack of food. "Humans are weird though. How can you get used to being around them and their confusing nature?" Apryl asked, looking out across the campus. "You get used to it after some time, plus it's not like we're the only ones who live among the humans." Keith replied, shrugging as he looked over the campus as well. This story follows Apryl Dark, eldest daughter of the Dark Mountain wolf pack as she and her family adjust to living among humans and the trials that face them. The book may start out slow, but there will be a mix of both romance and action as the story progresses.

A reckless Earth adventurer (also a gamer) dies and is reborn in Celestia—a stunning, dangerous world filled with powerful creatures, diverse races, extraordinary beings, and formidable warriors and mages.   Eric finds himself in a countryside orphanage with barely any recollection of his current family's whereabouts. He also unexpectedly discovers that a mysterious girl silently inhabits him.   During his soul's journey from Earth to his birthplace, a strange injury occurred, splitting his essence and creating a second soul inside him—this girl.   This girl (a unique soul mutation) lacks the ability to physically intervene in the world, but her unique nature grants capabilities beyond anyone's comprehension.   In this world, all Mana Wielders, Beasts, and Creatures have their strength measured by their Ranks and four basic stats. No one in history has ever reached the peak of their Rank's stats. Thus, no one could fathom what lies at its zenith.   Yet, due to this split soul, Eric now gains the ability to reach that peak. When he maxes his each stat at Rank 1, the powers he unlocks defy his wildest imagination.   ---   **Author's Note:**  **Expect:**   1. **OP Protagonist**—OP doesn't mean the most powerful in the world. He must grind toward it at each Rank.   2. **Epic Battles**—Cataclysmic clashes, destruction, terrifying powers, formidable foes and beasts. (Not in early arcs.)   3. **Playful Protagonist**—Jokes internally but ruthlessly sharp when needed.   4. **Harem**—It will not be excessive.   5. **Powerful Lovers/Companions**—Capable harem members who fight alongside him, not to be sidelined.   6. **Epic Adventures**—Emotional and intriguing quests/missions/story (Witcher/Elder Scrolls vibes). Adventure begins in Arc 4.   **Warning:** Humor, Gore, horror, occasional mature content.    --- Read 40 Chapters Ahead https://www.patreon.com/Asura009 ---
