I Was Caught Up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

It all happened so abruptly. After finally grasping my situation, I found myself in an entirely different world. Looking around, I noticed others in the same predicament… Could this possibly be one of those Hero developments? Was there a tyrannical Demon Lord needing extermination, or would I be tossed into the maelstrom of war? Whatever it was, I was afraid. I never wanted to be a Hero. I don’t want to harm another…… Ignore the nonsense I was spouting; there was nothing to fret over. The Demon Lord was slain a thousand years ago, and 800 years had passed since the last war. The nobles didn’t treat us summoned like tr*sh; instead, we were kindly cared for. The Demons have been on good terms with Humans for some time now. Dangers, such as monsters, were being taken care of by the Guild and the Order of Knights. What’s more surprising is the fact that I wasn’t even a hero! Instead, I was unintentionally summoned! It also turns out that this world was a world in which the three races, the Spirit World’s Magical Races, the Celestial World’s Divine Races, and the Mortal World’s Human Races, are kind neighbours. Here, everyone lives a peaceful and fulfilling life. In summary, this other world was――at peace. What’s my plan for the future? For my limited stay here, I will live this world to its fullest; going on a cultural exchange, sightseeing, then, after experiencing the festival that is only held once every ten years, …… I shall safely return home. However, despite my lust for a peaceful last year before returning, this planet’s heavyweights have begun amassing around me, and……

Is that a Wisp?

Author's Note: The start of the story is very slow and cliche. Give it a chance until the wisp reaches the human cities. It's at that point that the book's charm shows itself (Around chapter 20, all free!). --- What if a wisp, with zero EQ about human culture and habits, gains the opportunity to finally achieve human form? Now he can enter cities, experience technology, and fight his way to the top, right? In this universe where wisps are seen as nothing more than resources, a wisp stands up to challenge the wisps' destiny! Not without causing a lot of misunderstandings on his way, of course… --- Realms: Qi Condensation; Foundation Establishment; Core Formation; Divine Soul; Soul Forging; Void Breaking; Divine Path; Divine View; Semi Divinity; Divinity. --- Transformation; Mortal Rejection; Godly Fusion; God Foundation; God Core; Nascent God; --- Semi-God Realm; God Trial Realm; Elementary God Realm; Primal God Realm; God Realm. https://discord.gg/mR3pzMN Buy me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/suiyan

Translator you do not publish a thesis in academic journals usually. Thesis is the wrong word. It should be article, research paper or simply “paper.”

A dense, atmospheric, and intellectually compelling narrative that blends philosophical speculative fiction with myth and introspection. The world feels ancient and alive, and the protagonist’s obsessive pursuit of knowledge gives the story a haunting, lingering weight.[img=update]

Di Tian, who seized the body at the beginning of Douluo's Self

In the depths of the Star Dou Forest, the sleeping Black Dragon opened its pair of majestic golden eyes. A mountain-like body slowly crawled out of the dark cave. Looking at the clear sky, he fell into deep thought… On the human-beast battlefield that was burning with heavenly fire. The Black Dragon hovered above the sky shrouded in black smoke, its right claw holding the Overgod artifact high up in the air. The Silver Dragon and the Jade Swan were by its side. The three-headed Hellhound spat out flames that seemed to be able to burn the sky. The giant bear named Bear Lord waved its sharp claws that could hurt gods. He looked at the human experts who were drowned in the beast nest. "Human!" The black dragon laughed. Times have changed!" "Soul beasts will never be slaves!" "Charge!" "Charge!" The angel's wings were broken, the Shura's longsword was broken, the Poseidon could no longer wield his trident, the Goddess of Life's tears turned into a sea, the God of Death's corpse was cold, and the God of Death's body was still alive. The gods were wailing… " Then…let us bring the Twilight of the Gods!"
