Authors Note: I have always been fascinated by writing fantasy relating to historical facts. In this story, you will find characters inspired by real-world myth and legend. The universe I created hopefully will make the reader's imagination excited and logically plausible. I hope you enjoy it. ### Here are some key aspects you'll encounter: MC: The protagonist follows the classic weak-to-strong arc. World: Picture a blend of Harry Potter and Star Wars. System: While it's primarily a magic-based story, there's a structured system in place that's easy to follow. Additionally, elements of cultivation. Harem: No, there are several female interests. But I enjoy romance first. So even if there will be more than one love interest it will be deep. Note: English is not my first language, but you'll notice that my writing and English skills gradually improve throughout the chapters. Other: The novel delves into deep research on science and history, enriching the storyline with factual and intriguing details. Give it a read—you might be pleasantly surprised by what unfolds.

Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

Greatest Of All Legends

Greatest Of All Legends

“Who is the football GOAT?” A question that has been asked countless times in the last decade. Is it Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi? To be fair, the question actually depended on what one wanted from a player as they were two different people and they played differently from the other. This was also the case with every other legendary player to grace the game. As a diehard fan of the game, Jason Bolu also had someone he thought to be the goat, but unlike most people, he harbored the desire to not only become as great as them, but even greater than any legend that ever graced the game. He wanted to become the Greatest Of All Legends… the GOAL. Unfortunately, fate has never cared about people’s hopes and dreams, and just like every other unfortunate human, she hit him hard across the face with a broken reality and sent him flying in another direction from his goal, yet he didn’t give up and continually persevered but, in the end, he didn’t ever make it. He wasn’t even halfway near his goal. He thought it was over… but it wasn’t. He got another chance at his dreams, and this time he was going to do more than his best to achieve his dream. *disclaimer* There is no system or cheats, just plain hard work and a past life of experience.. Also, despite the use of real-life characters, places and things, this is an artistic creation in which things wouldn't be as they are in real life so don't be surprised at some things that are unrealistic and out of place e.g. exact details, attitude of characters etc. This is a slow-paced novel.

What are some of the greatest sci - fi short stories?
Well, 'The Veldt' by Ray Bradbury is among the greatest. It shows how technology can overtake a family when the children become too attached to their virtual reality nursery. Then there's 'I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream' by Harlan Ellison. This dark and disturbing story delves into the relationship between man and a malevolent artificial intelligence. Also, 'Nightfall' by Isaac Asimov is great as it contemplates what would happen if a planet only saw the stars once every few thousand years.

Can you recommend a few of the greatest sci - fi short stories for beginners?
For beginners, I'd recommend 'The Star' by Arthur C. Clarke. It's a short but profound story about a Jesuit priest on a journey to a star and what he discovers there. 'Ender's Game' by Orson Scott Card (originally a short story) is also very accessible. It's about a young boy trained for military leadership in a fight against an alien race. Another one is 'The Little Prince' by Antoine de Saint - Exupéry. It has a touch of sci - fi in its exploration of different planets and their inhabitants.

What are the greatest modern sci fi novels?
Well, 'The Three - Body Problem' by Liu Cixin is a remarkable modern sci fi novel. It has an incredibly imaginative concept, dealing with the idea of an alien civilization's impact on Earth. The science in it is mind - boggling and the story spans across different time periods and cultures. 'Ready Player One' by Ernest Cline is another great one. Set in a future where people escape into a virtual reality world, it's full of 80s pop - culture references that add a fun layer to the story. And 'Station Eleven' by Emily St. John Mandel is also worth mentioning. It shows a post - apocalyptic world where a traveling Shakespearean theater troupe tries to preserve art and humanity.
