New World, New Life: I Became A Bigshot In The Ancient World

Gray_Queen19
Excerpt Aristia could not help but stare at the platinum blonde a few steps in front of her. She seemed to sparkle with a glow that drew people in around her. Something that only happened to the main character of a novel. [Is that stupid book sure I'm the female lead?] She thought, her jaws almost going slack. At this point, she was sure she was deluding herself— or the book was deluding her. She didn't know why, but she already disliked the girl. [This is definitely not jealousy.] She rubbed her brows, watching how the innocent, naive looking girl exuding female lead aura was being flocked around already by others. "Fuck, I'm in deep shit!" — Excerpt Two "What do you mean this is where I belong?!!!" She asked incredulously. "It is the truth. It might sound extremely absurd and unbelievable, but it is the truth." He said, his voice tinged with helplessness. "Hell, it is absurd." She threw her hands up in the air exasperatedly. The seriousness in his eyes told her he wasn't at all joking or messing with her. He was damn serious. "Ugh. What shit am I involved in?" She asked frustratingly to no one in particular at the news she was still trying to wrap her head around. *** Aristia Andrews had just come back home from work and prepared to go to sleep, when she was given a novel. Nothing strange about that though, huh? But just after she had completed the novel, she woke up to find herself tossed into a whole new world. Taken from her world and the life she deemed perfect, and tossed into a not-so-ideal world. Now part of royalty, she has to get accustomed to living in a backward world of Kings and Queens, Dukes, Marquises, Earls, Viscounts and Barons. Just the titles and hierarchy were enough to make her smart head spin. With beautiful and loving parents and relatives, a cute younger brother, loyal servants and a smart brain, join Aristia as she enjoys eating and making new and delicious cuisines, forms unique friendships, and creates successful businesses. However, she finds all is not as she thought it was; there just might be something bigger than she expected, that the book did not reveal. Now... she has a lot of mysteries surrounding her to unfold, and secrets to uncover, and perhaps she'll find a dash of love along the way.

The Saviour's Quest

In a world scarred by endless wars and old betrayals, where humanity's memory flickers like the last embers of a dying fire, something begins to awaken. Every thousand years, an ancient god, niether bound by time or limited by form—returns to Earth to see how mankind has evolved. But this time, what he finds is far from the vibrant civilization he once knew. Instead, darkness has hollowed out the Earth. Alien creatures, monstrous beings from the void of space, rule the planet, wiping out humanity and corrupting nature itself.

Monkey King In Black Clover

Long before the rise of magic knights and kingdoms, a divine being of boundless strength defied the heavens. Feared by gods and mortals alike, the celestial Monkey King was sealed within an enchanted stone—hidden deep in the overgrown ruins of a forgotten land. His name was lost to time... but his power was not. Centuries later, while investigating a strange magical disturbance in an abandoned jungle temple, Captain Yami Sukehiro of the Black Bulls stumbles upon something—or rather, someone—unexpected: a ten-year-old boy, fast asleep inside a cracked boulder, with a golden headband, monkey-like ears, and a tail swaying in the air. Awakening with no memory of who he is, the boy radiates an ancient, chaotic magic unlike anything Yami’s ever seen. With his sharp tongue and wild energy, the kid is more trouble than treasure—but something about him feels special. So Yami, with his usual blunt flair, shrugs and names him Saru. “You look like a monkey. That’ll do.” Now part of the misfit Black Bulls, Saru begins to forge a new identity. But fragments of his divine past start to surface—strange dreams, uncontrollable bursts of power, and whispers of celestial prisons and immortal wars. As danger stirs and hidden relics awaken, Saru must uncover the truth of who he was… and decide who he wants to become. Because in a world ruled by grimoires, magic knights, and fate itself—can a monkey once bound by gods become a hero born of choice?
