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.

Whispers from the Abyss
"You can give the documents to the adepts standing guards when you return the sigil," answered the Beast Emperor, waving dismissively. He couldn't examine it beforehand, so the delay and suspicion didn't bother him.
He handed the precious but annoying item to the boy and added, "Follow the temple's priest. He'll guide you to the most fortified room. Good luck with your task." Then, he returned to his throne, closed his piercing blue eyes and remained motionless.
Catching the clue, they followed the gesturing attendant outside the hall. They navigated the complex but mysterious temple, admiring the lifelike beasts engraved on its walls for ten minutes before reaching their destination.
Meanwhile, the Beast Emperor's eyes snapped open the moment they left. A mass of billowing mana raged around his body as he raised his head towards the sky. Following his grimacing face's movement, his mana coalesced into a massive brown barrier encasing the entire temple.
