I Refused To Be Reincarnated
"In order to survive the future great war, we must take drastic measures. We need to summon warriors and train them before time runs out." Thus, millions of earthlings were reincarnated in an alien, medieval world governed by swords and magic to save its prophesied doom. Among those individuals, one's situation inexplicably deviated from the others. Thrust into a rotting house in a ghostly body, Adam found himself bound to a wailing baby. With a heavily damaged soul and the snarky remark of a system, he began his years-long quest to recover his body. Armed with his mind, he'll educate the baby and slowly watch him turn into a good youth. However, he would have to make a choice: suffer as a ghost until he finds an alternative that might not exist, or possess his body and reincarnate. However, he was far from imagining how dangerous this world full of possibilities could be, prompting him to question everything he knew... Including himself and this world's intentionally blurred history. ********************************************** [WebNovel Spirity Awards 2024 Entry] Discord server: https://discord.gg/3zrgeP8yFv Note: Hello, this is my first novel, and I'm doing my best to write it in English.

Julius' Detective Journey
After the skirmish with the djinns, Julius's curiosity and intuition drove him to investigate further. He decided to discreetly explore the surroundings, searching and examining the carcasses of the djinn in an attempt to find clues.
He moved stealthily through the camp, using the shadows as covers to hide his movements. Then, after reaching the area where the djinns appeared, he looked for any unusual markings, disturbances in the soil, or traces of magic residue.
However, before he could thoroughly examine the place, Julius noticed a human silhouette escaping the scene in a hurry.
Sensing that the figure sprinting away might hold crucial information, Julius pursued behind it at top speed, making the wind howling behind him.
"In less than a second, he caught up with the escaping individual and tackled them to the ground, ready to end their life immediately if they tried to do anything suspicious.
