Synopsis

Seven teenagers. Three finalists. One prophecy. Long ago, the elites of the kingdom of Crystallea created the Rosewood Academy to train the children to protect themselves and the land from horrid monsters called Evils. It was prophesied that seven students from the Academy will defeat the ancient evil that has plagued the land for centuries. When an Evil appears inside the Academy, it becomes clear who the Rosewood Seven are. They train hard, but before they are ready, an army of Evils attack the school and the seven friends escape to hastily embark on their quest. Along the way, the seven face everything from Evil ambushes to betrayal to dark magic. Will their bonds be strong enough to keep them alive till the end? Or will the evil lord's tampering turn them against each other and destroy the kingdom's only hope once and for all?

Chapter 1Prologue

"We have no choice," said the woman standing up, her hands pressed on the table before her. "We have to create this school, this safe house, for the gifted, destined children in the world. Here, they will be protected from the Evils that lurk out there. We can't leave the defenseless children alone." Her eyes flicked to every person sitting in the room, meeting their gaze. After much debate, the committee still have not come up with an adequate solution. Everyone was drained and tired, but they forged on, knowing that the events that hung in balance were too great.

"Ahem." All heads turned to a bald man who looked like he was in his early sixties. He was the most respected one here. "I agree with Diane. We have to do this in order to protect not just the children, but all of humanity too. Think of the innocents out there. Most of them only have the vaguest idea of what's going on. They are unprepared for a full-on battle. Even we are unprepared for a full-on battle."

Murmurs of agreements arose from the committee of fifteen sophisticated elites. They all knew the dangers of the Evils, and at this dark time, a school seemed like the best choice.

"It is settled, then." Diane's tense shoulders relaxed and she looked as if a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders. "We will start planning the school and its courses. Then we'll need to alert the people and recruit the children. There's so much to do." She paused, and looked around . All eyes were focused on her. "But we'll follow through. We'll ensure that the Evils are kept at bay and that the people can live without fear. We can do this. We have to do this." She placed her hand on the table. Fourteen more hands placed themselves on top of hers.

"For Crystallea," she said.

"For Crystallea," echoed the fourteen people around her.

* * * * *

Four years later, the school was complete. Diane and the other fourteen leaders stood in front of the school, looking up at its majestic beauty. The campus had over fifteen acres of land, including surrounding gardens and fields. Tall towers soared to the sky while elegant arches framed long, slender windows. There was a great hall, three spiraling staircases, and countless rooms for a variety of studies. The Gothic architecture provided an air of sophistication and inspired awe in all who laid eyes on it. The surrounding fields were lush and green, with wild flowers dotting the entire land. There was a pool, an elegantly carved fountain, and gardens for students to hang out in. It was the most beautiful place for miles in the land of Crystallea. It was...paradise.

For a moment, the fifteen elites took it all in and believed that their mission was finally completed. It was the ultimate safe house, the best haven. The children will be safe here. They will be protected and grow up to finally defeat the Evils once and for all. Each of them will possess the potential and knowledge to defend themselves from the Evils. Crystallea was safe.

Then the moment passed, and the leaders were again struck with what they had to do. They hadn't finished their task; they'd only started. Each had pledged to teach one of the first classes at the school and sworn to protect the kids and school with their lives. It was a mutual agreement. Their successors and the successors after them will be brave and loyal like the first fifteen, and continue what they have started.

They decided to name the school after rosewood, a plant believed to ward off Evils and protect from dangers. From that day on, the fifteen elites took on a new name: the Rosewood Elders, protectors of Crystallea, defenders of the people, and fighters against Evils.

And Rosewood Academy, school for the chosen children and future protectors of Crystallea, was born.

Now, stuck with a nature-reviving system in a world full of poisonous gases and intergalactic stuff where she has to start from the very beginning and plant more forest and crops while creating a liveable world for the humans, Mo Qiang was suffering. But it sounds easy right? No! In her path she has three villainous husbands, all three of them want to kill her such that they will be able to marry her capable sister after kicking her away who was trashy and good for nothing.

Excerpt: “ Here you go,” said Mo Qiang as she pushed the divorce agreement looking at her first husband who was gentle but poisonous like a snake. “ I have already signed the document of our divorce, you can take a look —-wait, why are you taking your clothes off?” The mer looked at her and smiled gently as he took off his glasses and said, “ Looks like my wife is not happy with me not giving birth to our child, don’t worry I will work hard tonight.” Mo Qiang: “…..” I do not want you to work hard! Take second! “ Take this and sign it,” said Mo Qiang, this time more fiercely as she looked at her second husband who was reading a script for his film. “ I am sure you want to divorce me right?

The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat!

'Kill monsters, eat meat' 'I mean, Kill monsters, save lives. Got it.' 'Tut, I could've sworn that the first one sounded better.' She wasn't a girl looking for freedom or self-righteous liberation by a hero, or whatever shit a girl who suffered for almost all her life would crave. -the shit of a life she was living was horrible, but it was bearable, and so she got used to it. Rather, instead of freedom, what this little missy wanted was money. Lots and lots of them so she never has to worry about the next day. Money - bountiful enough that when she has to spend, she doesn't need to look back or calculate her assets to see how much she has left. Money - bountiful enough to get all the fried chicken she could ever dream of. Yeah, you heard it, fried chicken. For those who did not have money to spare leisurely, getting fried chicken was like a pipe dream to them and she had been one of those unfortunate souls. A comfortable roof above her head and no worries as to when she would get ordered around to steal. No worries about when she would get her next meal-- That was her liberation. And she got it. Just that, she got it most absurdly. Awakened! Those were the people ruling the world, alongside beastly and deadly monsters who threatened the safety of average human beings. And those awakened call the shots. Alice never dreamed she would one day be awakened, and compared to others with their game-like system displaying their attributes and strength; she had a full-grown man whom only she could hear, watching her back at every turn and telling her what to do. He was kinda a pain in the ass but she couldn't complain. It was this gift he had bestowed on her that made her the most powerful Awakened there was with stats that even S-class awakeneds couldn't compare to. She was the boss, now. Mwa-hahahahaha. But life didn't go as easy and leisurely as she planned. With great power comes great responsibility, right? Well, in her case with great power comes great hunger. She couldn't go a moment without getting hungry and her stomach had become a bottomless pit. And to get food, she needed money, and to get money, she had to hunt monsters. The monsters plagued humanity, causing catastrophes and taking lives mercilessly. Those monsters, as scary as they may be, were her target and she had to face them head-on. The bigger the monsters the more money she would gain. Yeah, that was the plan, but... This guy acting as her system seemed to have other plans, putting her at the forefront of 'justice' and having her clean the mess he somewhat created. 'Ugh, I can already sense a shadow of foreboding. Someone, please tell me I'm not acting the main character role. I just want to eat, okay?'

The writing, with the word choices and all its tasteful descriptions, reminds me of that of a **** fiction novel you can find in the library or at a bookstore—in other words, an actual, published book. The quality of the writing is also leaps above a lot of the “edited” stories I’ve encountered on Webnovel. As for the story, I like its pacing and the world-building; it doesn’t linger too much on one particular event or just gloss over important parts, although I did occasionally feel that I would have liked some more time to get to know the characters better. I feel that some parts would have had a more emotional impact on the reader if there had been events to create a stronger attachment to them earlier on. Speaking of characters, they all have flaws that humanize them in some way, and I find that a positive point, but right now (at around chapter 90) I can only really say that I like one character and find the rest somewhat neutral on my likeability scale. After reading further for future developments, I shall see where they each land. Another thing I like is how the foreshadowing was done. There isn’t too much of it, and when something is obviously hinted at, the author still doesn’t give too much away. There’s room for little twists later on so that things don’t go exactly the way you expected them to go. Overall, I like this story, and I would encourage those who are attracted to romance/adventure/fantasy novels to try it out. Just be aware of some of the content (swearing is kept to a minimum, but there is an event related to suicide, for example).
