Mythology Rebooted

At dawn. The light of dawn lingered, hesitant to arrive, while the remnants of the setting sun had long faded into darkness. Within the city shrouded in thin mist, the hidden churches in the shadows, veins clinging to the cracks in walls, the gnawing sounds echoing from the sewers, and the murmuring shadows... A lantern bearer strolled forward.

Indian Mythology: the Heavenly Emperor is not working today

In Indian mythology, the Three Aspects Deity suppressed the current age. Many Immortals cursed all the gods. Asuras, after millennia of arduous cultivation, would always attack the Heavenly Realm and beat up the Heavenly Emperor upon receiving a boon. "Arduous cultivation, receiving boons, beating up the Heavenly Emperor, why is Indian mythology always like this? I'm the one who gets beaten and suffers; I quit!" Indra, who had reincarnated as the Heavenly Emperor, was furious. And so... "Whoever loves being the Heavenly Emperor, be my guest; I'm not going to work!" Indra said. "Hey, hey, hey, the script isn't supposed to go like this," the Destroyer God Shiva said, full of question marks. "You've performed great meritorious deeds in the past. This position of the Heavenly Emperor is rightfully yours. If not, there will be chaos in the world!" the Protector God Vishnu said anxiously. "No, Heavenly Emperor, I'll give you a boon. Go quickly and beat up the Asura!" the Creator God Brahma spoke thus.

Deirdre O Cleirigh: The Rise of a Celtic Warrior

This story is historical fiction with a touch of magic. Viking raids began in the late 8th century, particularly in the Western Isles and the Northern Isles of what is now Scotland and with attacks on monasteries and coastal towns in what is now Ireland. This story follows Deirdre O Cleirigh, a young girl in the idyllic village of Ulster, who dreams of adventure and heroism beyond her modest upbringing. Growing up in a land threatened by Viking invaders, her childhood is shaped by tales of courage and resilience passed down through generations. As the Vikings attack, Deirdre's spirit emboldens throughout her turbulent youth; compelled by the need to protect her family and home, she becomes a skilled warrior. As the siege intensifies, she gathers a coalition of warriors and citizens, inspiring them with her unwavering resolve and leadership. The turning point comes when Deirdre realizes that victory can only be achieved through the unity of all the people of Ulster—not just her warriors. Rallying the citizens, she empowers them to join the fight, tapping into their shared heritage and strength. Together, with the aid of local druids and her innate tactical skills, they craft a counter-offensive strategy to reclaim their city and their country. In a climactic battle, Deirdre leads her forces against the Viking stronghold, demonstrating courage, tactical acumen, and the power of community. Despite heavy sacrifices, the united front of citizens and warriors overwhelms the Vikings, forcing them into retreat. As the dust settles, Deirdre stands as a triumphant leader—heart heavy with the cost of victory but filled with hope for the future. Through her journey, Deirdre transforms from a frightened girl into a revered leader, fostering a new order in Ulster dedicated to fairness and resilience. The story highlights themes of unity, sacrifice, and the strength found in community, establishing a foundation for lasting peace and the flourishing of Ulster under her leadership. This is her story.

It's really refreshing to read a novel with a blend of what seems so far as Nordic, and Celtic mythology. I hope the author will continue to delve into tales in his story combined with an actual background of European folklore. So far, I was not disappointed.

This is a novel that explores the Celtic mythology of Ireland and the beings of nature that are the faerie as they were not as the child friendly version that we know today. The story starts as a transmigration and follows the base of cultivation novels whilst incorporating the myths I mentioned before and the Greek and Norse pantheons and possibly others that have yet to be revealed. The story is very detailed and poetic in its descriptions of people and events and manages to capture the true essence of what the people of Celtic lore were thought to be. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys exploring the myths and legends of the world whilst having a unique twist which I won’t spoil for you. The last thing I want to mention is that the Author is active and responsive to people’s comments and suggestions that would help them improve their story. I hope you all give this a chance.

This book has something in common with the reincarnation that the heroes are created with efforts to stand in for beings from mythology. This is the one of the best titles in mystery fiction. they're there to be heroes... and villains.

The salted fish female supporting role, she just wants to lie down

Su Miaoyu had liked to read novels since she was young. She was extremely envious of the plot in the novel. She was arrogant and fell in love with the fast-acting and face-slapping type of novels. She could not help but want to learn all kinds of skills. Su Miaoyu, who was not afraid of death, did all kinds of things that could transmigrate, but she did not get the system that could help her realize her wish of face-slapping. It was just that when she had already given up on the ward area and was ready to step into the nursing home to enjoy her old age with her old friends, she was taken away by the salted fish revival system that was decades late to carry out a mission. The dumbfounded Su Miaoyu refused to admit defeat and prepared to be a salted fish. However, reality did not cooperate. In addition to the various instigations of the system at the beginning, she finally managed to subdue the system as a little fan. However, the system's superior could not see her comfortable. Every time she transmigrated, there would be a problem with the plot or someone would cause trouble. Su Miaoyu, who was a salted fish, didn't want to make a comeback at all. Unfortunately, she owed the system a huge sum of money and could only think of ways to fulfill her dream of being a salted fish while paying off the debt. In the first world, she had finally fallen in love with a single mother, but she was stabbed by Mo Chengyuan, who was controlled by the world's consciousness. From then on, she had a shadow over men. In the second world, she even met Mo Chengyuan, who had the same name as her and looked the same as her. Her mission in this world was to survive from him, and Su Miaoyu, who had no plot hints, lived carefully… (I don't know if there will be a male protagonist in this novel. According to my initial expectations, there will be one, but it's hard to say for sure now. Everyone, be careful.)
