The Favorite Mate of Prince

The 'tragic' truth tells us that time-traveling is a technical skill, and clearly, Ye Zao was mediocre at it. Being duped by her own penny-pinching uncle into becoming a lowly concubine in someone else's house was bad enough, but why did it have to be in Fourth Master's residence? Being just a mere Concubine, how was she to get by? The starting point was too low, the background too poor, the bargaining chips too few! The big BOSS had too much HP, and every mini BOSS was lethal! After much deliberation, playing the virtuous act would get her killed, because there was Lady Ulaanala ahead of her. Playing the shrew would also lead to death, for there was Li Consort Fujin behind her. Bearing sons wasn't permitted, yet not bearing them left her with no support—what a conundrum of a life! Having finally maneuvered her way from the residence into the palace, she still had The Empress Dowager on top, who disliked her for not looking dignified enough! Fortunately, Fourth Master didn't mind, and he secretly quite fancied her undignified looks! Ye Zao's goal was to live a good life, clothed in silk and jewels, exalted and lofty.

Defy The Alpha(s)

Two centuries after the Great War, peace between humans and werewolves was finally achieved, or so everyone believes. Werewolves reign like gods, and humans remain blissfully unaware of their true place in the new world order. To maintain this fragile balance, each year, a handful of "lucky" humans are selected from various districts to attend Lunaris Academy, a prestigious institution that promises glory, status, and a chance to mingle with the elite. Those chosen are hailed as the lucky few, destined to marry powerful alphas and rise as luna. This year, Violet Purple is among the chosen, much to everyone's surprise. For an orphaned girl adopted by a disgraced prostitute, this is a golden ticket to a better life or so she's told. But Lunaris Academy isn’t the paradise it’s painted to be. Everything Violet and her fellow humans have been taught is a lie. Humans are far from equal; they're pawns in a much larger game. The academy is nothing but a gilded cage, and the students are lambs led to slaughter, playthings for the alphas to toy with in their ruthless games. To make matters worse, Violet catches the attention of the most dangerous players in this game, the Terror Four: the Alpha of the North, Alpha of the South, Alpha of the East, and Alpha of the West. Each one is more dangerous, more twisted, and more powerful than the last. But even among themselves, the alphas are divided, each with their own deadly ambitions. Yet, they all have their eyes on her. They expect Violet to play along, to fall in line like the others who worship at their feet, to break under their games. But Violet isn’t like the others. She refuses to bow. She’ll defy them all.

Défier Les Alpha(s)

Deux siècles après la Grande Guerre, la paix entre les humains et les loups-garous a finalement été atteinte, du moins tout le monde le croit. Les loups-garous règnent comme des dieux, et les humains restent dans une ignorance bienheureuse de leur véritable place dans le nouvel ordre mondial. Pour maintenir cet équilibre fragile, chaque année, une poignée d'humains "chanceux" sont sélectionnés dans divers districts pour assister à l'Académie Lunaris, une institution prestigieuse qui promet gloire, statut et une chance de côtoyer l'élite. Ceux qui sont choisis sont acclamés comme les quelques chanceux, destinés à épouser de puissants alphas et à s'élever en tant que luna. Cette année, Violet Purple est parmi les élus, à la surprise de tous. Pour une fille orpheline adoptée par une prostituée déshonorée, c'est un ticket en or pour une vie meilleure ou du moins c'est ce qu'on lui dit. Mais l'Académie Lunaris n'est pas le paradis qu'on décrit. Tout ce que Violet et ses camarades humains ont appris est un mensonge. Les humains sont loin d'être égaux ; ils sont des pions dans un jeu bien plus vaste. L'académie n'est rien de plus qu'une cage dorée, et les étudiants sont des agneaux menés à l'abattoir, des jouets pour les alphas dans leurs jeux impitoyables. Pour aggraver les choses, Violet attire l'attention des joueurs les plus dangereux dans ce jeu, les Quatre Terreurs : l'Alpha du Nord, l'Alpha du Sud, l'Alpha de l'Est et l'Alpha de l'Ouest. Chacun est plus dangereux, plus tordu et plus puissant que le précédent. Mais même entre eux, les alphas sont divisés, chacun poursuivant ses propres ambitions mortelles. Pourtant, ils ont tous les yeux rivés sur elle. Ils s'attendent à ce que Violet suive le mouvement, tombe dans les rangs comme les autres qui vénèrent à leurs pieds, qu'elle casse sous leurs jeux. Mais Violet n'est pas comme les autres. Elle refuse de s'incliner. Elle va tous les défier.

For the first time, the Ancient gods appear in the story "The Punishing Fate over Sarnath", where Lovecraft first calls the deities "Ancient Gods" (Eng. Old Gods), and then "Elder Gods" (English Elder Gods). In subsequent works: "The Call of Cthulhu", "The Horror of Dunwich", "The Whisperer in the Dark", "The Ridges of Madness" and "The Shadow over Innsmouth" — Lovecraft uses the name "The Ancients" (Eng. Old Ones) and "Great Old Ones" (Eng. Great Old Ones). In the stories "The Last Experience" and "Buried with the Pharaohs" Lovecraft uses the name "Ancient Gods". In Lovecraft's work, the "Elder Gods" are opposed to both the "Great Ancients" and the "Outer Gods". Smith often referred to Lovecraft's Ancient gods along with his "Outer Gods", ruled by Azathoth, the "blind idiot God" who occupies a position in the center of infinity.

Currently at chapter 128 and it has been pretty good. The world is a mix between SCP and the Lovecraft mythos. The horror/ dread builds up quite nicely. I really recommend it. 5/5

Rebirth of America's Wealth Life

The characters and stories that appeared in the book mostly belonged to a parallel world and had nothing to do with the real world. If you found someone you were familiar with, it would just be a coincidence. Or rather, there was another person in the parallel world, but their life trajectories were different. Of course, if they were exactly the same, it would be a coincidence. From this point of view, they were not the same person.

Start the simulation to kill bugs and live to the peak of life

The real title of the book was [Start simulation to kill bugs, hide until you leave the moving castle](Lord's text) When he woke up, the entire world had transmigrated to another world. Other people would start off by doing quests in the main city or killing monsters in the wild to level up and pick up treasure chests, but Mu Fan had transmigrated to the Cursed Land and faced layers upon layers of undead army. Other people's initial rewards were angels, black dragons, spearmen, elves, or even peasants, but Mu Fan only had a simulator. From then on, Mu Fan started his life simulation: A day later, while the others were still doing quests and killing monsters, Mu Fan had already gotten rid of the bug and escaped from the Legendary building, Moving Castle. A week later, when other people started to build their territories and recruit mercenaries, Mu Fan had already become the City Lord and issued NPC missions. He had also become a grand mage and possessed Mythical Grade equipment. He had occupied a top-notch Dao Foundation Nest and had tens of thousands of undead under him. Moreover, the more he fought, the more undead he had. A month later, when the others were fully fledged and formed teams to attack the city, Mu Fan had already conquered the entire Cursed Land and became the overlord of a region. A year later, when the Immortal Cultivation World broke through the World Barrier and arrived on this mainland, others were still others. Mu Fan had already become the ruler of the mainland and had mastered the 3,000 Great Dao. A concentration camp of imagination!

Making waves in thousands of worlds

#Not playing by the rules, wildly dragging the bossy young lady of Chu Tianba × The Lord God who is soft and cute on the surface but paranoid and dark on the inside # #The Son of the Heavenly Axiom doted on by thousands of worlds x The Supreme Law God of thousands of worlds #Life is constantly going up and down. After Zhiyi spread to various worlds, she wanted to take a vacation and experience the style of other worlds. The thing she wanted to do the most was to lie on her 800-square-meter bed and look at the sea outside. She also wanted to bully the honest and ignorant local Son of Heavenly Axiom. At some point, a person appeared beside her. Every part of his body was Zhiyi's ideal type. It was simply an ideal type that was tailor-made for her. Zhiyi wanted to stay away from him awkwardly, but she could not help but be attracted and want to get close to him. Yi Chuan deliberately created a character that Zhiyi liked the most, and knelt in front of Zhiyi to pray for love in a soft voice. Zhiyi felt that she could. Later on, the world fell into darkness, and all the things she liked disappeared. Zhiyi sensed that the person behind her was holding her in his arms. His arms tightened inch by inch, and his body trembled slightly as if he was afraid and excited. His almost infatuated words were gentle and creepy. He seemed to be sighing softly beside her ear and couldn't help but kiss Zhiyi's wrist. His voice was blurry and wet." Mine." "Ah Yi belongs to me…" A Yi: F * ck you. [Demining] 1.
