Resumen

In a world destroyed by war, a place where people constantly fight monsters and each other for territories and better lives, a place where it is not possible to live an ordinary life outside of governments that are very reminiscent of medieval times, what would people's daily lives be like in such a world? This story will show Arthur's life and a world where war technology has advanced forcibly to keep up with both humans and their supernatural enemies; we will also accompany him on his way to climb the rungs of the creatures' status in the universe where he will discover the truth of his world.

Chapter 1Book 1: Clypeus.

Chapter 1: Prologue.

 

In 2150 the last world war took place, and this war was different from all the other conflicts that preceded it, this was the last conflict that humanity witnessed while still in its veil of lies and security that they themselves put in place hundreds of years ago. The last world war started over the planet's natural resources, since unfortunately the world was no longer able to supply the necessary resources due to the continuous and increasingly incisive exploitation of countless large corporations. The main problem is that not only were the big corporations abusing their appropriation of natural resources in an unsustainable way, the governments that were supposed to oversee and regulate their territories proved to be completely inefficient or corrupt, and there are even some historians who say that the government was extremely efficient, but its efficiency was aimed at the individual and selfish desires of the politicians of the time, who completely disregarded the present or future of their own species; the truth is that they all saw what was going to happen and simply chose to ignore it.

Society would simply ignore all their government's behavior, if the economy continued to do well and if their lives were comfortable, nothing mattered. However, thanks to this behavior, the problem ignored or left for later became more evident and urgent and as time went by the lack of natural resources became increasingly serious and around 2130 the resources began to become were exponentially scarce, with each year the situation got worsened and no matter how committed they were to reforestation, the trees did not keep up with the consumption of wood, water became expensive for the consumption of the poorest thanks to the need to use desalination, the ones that were extremely necessary became more difficult to consume. Surprisingly, food was one of the few resources that was not scarce, but although food did not become scarce, other resources continued to run out every year, and countries eventually became hostile to each other, and a war broke out on a large scale, the crisis broke out at the end of the war, there was an agreement to control production, according to which companies could only produce what society needed to survive the next century.

After this war, not only did humanity need a time of peace, but nature also itself needed a period of peace so that it could thrive again, so all countries needed time to rebuild and reorganize their plans and even hidden agendas for the future; it was a simple fact that many countries had not given up, their leaders had only postponed what would happen naturally. But this time of peace never came, thanks to the humans the earth was drenched in blood. The humans themselves prepared an environment where their seal, which had already been in place for the last millennium, weakened enough for us to be able to send my kind to have fun in this backward world, isn't that practically an invitation? So in 2200 AD it was the end of the calendar which was portrayed as after Christ this was the year that damn seal was broken by our dear humans so we decided to invade the earth and we killed half the remaining population of the planet and I isolated the survivors, I ordered that there were always toys for the excellencies and all the servants, but unfortunately they didn't give up on their home planet even with the breaking of the seal, the bastards still gave them a chance to survive, really annoying. Even though they caused it themselves, they still receive help from those bastards.

It certainly irritated me but looking at the last few centuries it's not a problem. Even if we haven't conquered all the land, we have most of it and we can destroy cities and human camps all the time. This is a good environment, it's less boring than hell, this earth is a good place to live.

The demon who until now had been talking to a corpse of a man stopped and looked at it and closed his eyes, he then threw the corpse that was wearing a kind of armor made of nanotechnology mixed with animal parts and wood on the ground, after which he opened his reptilian eyes and a smile appeared on his macabre face; this being possessed a corporeal form similar to a snake with hands all over its body and with the smile still hovering all over its face it rose from its throne and looked at its army, flicking its tail and destroying all the corpse's armor and crushing it in the process it looked at all its soldiers with a look full of excitement and expectation that on its face would make even an ordinary adult frown he said. - I've been ordered to prepare for the 5th invasion on the humans, the seal will finally be completely gone in a few years and others of us are about to arrive with their real bodies. In the meantime, we're going to start attacking their beloved green sanctuaries, all the places where they've still been able to keep nature preserved...most important of this territory, Sinharaja, Sundarbans, Daintree, Taiga, and Amazonia!

After the demon shouted howls and cheers from the smaller demons present, he sounded out expressing his excitement for the attack that would occur in the areas that humans had worked so hard to preserve, only imagining the despair they would suffer when they came to destroy their territories. Precious forests and cities around the locations gave these demons a kind of sadistic pleasure that would make them die with a smile just imagining the expressions they could cause in humans.

- Are you excited? - The voice that would sound frightening and disgusting to any human sounded again in the camp of demons that seemed to be assembled on top of several scattered human corpses.

- YES!!! - The unison cry with voices like those reproduced in horror movies with possession rang out in the camp as millions of demons responded at the same time, trying to contain their excitement so as not to start marching immediately.

- GOOD! - The demon's voice sounded even more disgusting as he said this and then the ground beneath the serpent's belly began to crack and rise up as if a hill were rising on the spot, this lasted a few seconds until everyone could see the appearance of something that would have resembled a wolf if it hadn't been for its colossal size of eight meters high and fourteen meters long, plus there was also its "face" which was a mixture of the face of a baboon and the muzzle of a grey wolf from which something resembled the tusks of an elephant, In addition, its "face" didn't have a single hair on it, while its body was covered in spines that resembled those of a porcupine, only they were blood red. In place of the wolf's tail, the snake's body was very visible, split in two where its stomach connected with the wolf's body, and the upper part of the snake even "sat" on the wolf's while looking at the angles that the wolf's head couldn't cover. - Celebrate today's victory! I, Amom will bring us another victory and another party like this!!! - His voice rang out as he crushed dozens of corpses in his paws and with his serpentine tail.

- AHAHA!!! - Laughter rang through the place as the demons enjoyed their "celebration" without caring about the future battles they faced, after all, for them, practically immortal beings the fights were just something to pass the time, but for demons who love war and chaos the more destruction and pain they cause the happier they feel.

Amom watched his army having fun with both their heads and a smile appeared on his serpentine head while the main head remained indifferent to all the commotion, he stayed like this until the sun began to rise over the horizon then the main head that had remained indifferent all night finally showed a smile as it observed the rising sun that had a faint but attractive red hue. - kidding time~

Reincarnated To Evolve My Bee Empire

"Now, go forth, my mortal champion! Conquer this world—or else!" I lived a painfully average life and died by a stupid, stupid accident, but a goddess interfered, giving me a second chance in another world. There, I became royalty—the lazy kind with almost no obligations, free to live in peace and luxury for the rest of my days. Sounds like a dream, right? In reality, it was anything but—because I became *BEE* royalty. A Drone Bee, doomed to die of old age in 2 months! (A humanoid bee, thankfully, but still a bee in all the ways that matter.) The only way to increase my lifespan is to develop and grow my bee colony—a deadly task in a vicious world like this one. There are murderous insect monsters, colossal beasts trampling the earth, other civilizations, natural disasters, and the bitchy patron goddess who absolutely hates me. But as long as I have my brains, my bees, and the powerful genes my system gives me, my Bee Empire will be unstoppable! === For those who want to know more: This is a wholesome comedic story, but it has some dark moments. The focus is on kingdom building, survival as an empire, and interacting with MC’s beautiful bee wife and adorable bee daughters. The bees are all humanoid (see pictures) and human-sized. However, they are still bees in their ways of life and mentality. Although there’s a system, real growth comes from putting effort and time. Nothing happens in an instant in this story, unless it’s trouble. MC acts like an idiot sometimes (oftentimes), but he’s not actually stupid-stupid. When it comes to strategic decisions, he uses logic and reason. Even if you might disagree with it. Also, there will be no smut (ecchi is a fair game), incest, NTR, harem or BL. === Discord is up! Find it at -> https://linktr.ee/Garessta Updates: 2 chapters/day, right after the reset (with a 5% chance of running late). Reply to author's pinned review if you have questions. Also, although I realize the futility of this aim (at least right now), if this novel reaches top 15 golden ticket ranking (and stays there for a few days, obv), I will mass release 10 extra chapters! (within 30 calendar days)
