salt houses

After transmigrating into a book he had just finished reading, Eric found himself cast as the villainous cannon fodder. The original owner of the body was secretly and wholeheartedly in love with Max, the tribe's strongest warrior, but Max and Michael had grown up together and gradually developed feelings for each other. The original owner tried every means to obstruct them, was eventually exiled by the tribe, and died a miserable death from hunger and cold that winter. Many races existed on this continent, and he was not even human. Eric looked at the piece of grilled meat before him, burnt black as charcoal, and a handful of beans so hard they felt like they could chip his teeth. He looked up at the thatched roof that leaked rain in the summer and let snow through in the winter. Behind him, a small lion cub was wailing for food. Oh, and this little lion cub was also the story's devoted second male lead. The first step was to improve his life. What, the beastmen do not know how to farm? No problem, they can learn. Then they would not have to starve during the winter. Thatched huts, mud houses, and tents could all be replaced! The arrogant Elf race had a strong affinity for plants, which was perfect for farming, and the Dragon race could breathe fire, which was perfect for firing bricks! Humans called the Fantasy Dream Continent a cursed land. Later, a wandering poet would tell tales of the Snow Wolf Tribe who lived there, possessing all sorts of delicacies and fine, home-brewed wine whose aroma could travel for ten miles, leaving a rich aftertaste. Once the rumor spread, countless adventuring parties and mercenaries felt compelled to explore the land, even at the risk of being beaten half to death. Eric utilized the advantages of his bloodline, diligently farming and building infrastructure, leading the tribe toward a better life. It was just that one day he would pick up a prince of the Human race, and the next, a prince of the Elf race. With a prince of the Beastman Kingdom already in his house, Eric was at his wit's end. Perhaps I should just build a nation for all of you! And another thing, you, the main male lead, stop hovering around me! ... Auther: Please forgive my mistakes, as English is not my first language. I appreciate your understanding!

{Author Of Misunderstood Villain} What is a Runebearer? It is one who holds Divinity in their Soul. It is a mortal who carries gifts from the Gods. Most of such mortals had no idea what Rune to choose once becoming of age. Xenos, an unhinged transmigrator, did. His Game System let him see everything! He could follow any path he wished and break the realm like he did the game! And yet... Xenos chose one of the "weakest" Runes: Luck. A Rune with no preestablished path. One abandoned by all. To make things worse—or better... He had bound himself to Eris... The Goddess of Calamity. Armed with the most unstable combo in existence, Xenos thought it would be easy: Abuse both Elements, get overpowered, crush the Laws, tear through the higher strata, and drag his House to the top. Yeah... Ding! No. {ANOMALY DETECTED!} [Thanatos, of House Hades, son of Plouton, Lord of the Third Stratum, has detected your existence.] [Anake, of House Khronos, daughter of Aion, Lady of the Second Stratum, has detected your existence.] [Hyperion, of House Etherion, son of Ouranos, Lord of the First Stratum, has detected your existence.] [WARNING, WARNING, WARNING!] [YOU ARE BEING HUNTED.] ...

In the ashes of old empires, a Republic is born—eighteen Houses bound by myth, law, and iron succession. Its Pillars hold energy, medicine, sky, and law. Its people rise or fall by exile, oath, and inheritance. For Christopher Xiong, a foreign-born son of the Bear House, the Republic is both promise and prison. Working as a VR cleaner, he drifts unseen in a system where every name carries the weight of ancestry. But a forgotten relic ties him to the Republic’s most dangerous secret—and once it awakens, Chris is pulled into a struggle that will test not just Houses, but the foundations of civilization itself. Republic of the Houses is a political epic where words are weapons, myths are law, and no ideology is safe. #CivilizationalScienceFiction

Synopsis **Lina Marchesi doesn’t remember the night her fiancé died. She only knows he drowned near their private beach house on the Amalfi Coast—and that she was found barefoot, bloodied, and unresponsive in a boat nearby. There were no signs of foul play, and Lina, an American expat novelist, hasn't been able to write since. A year later, under the weight of trauma, gaps in her memory, and public suspicion, she returns to the same village—not to heal, but to hide. But the quiet isn’t quiet for long. Whispers trail her in the market, her old neighbors keep their distance, and someone keeps leaving pages from her *unfinished manuscript* on her doorstep—pages she doesn't remember writing. Enter **Milo Caruso**, a former war photographer turned reclusive innkeeper with his own ghosts. He’s disfigured from an explosion, hiding out in the crumbling hills above the sea. Their paths cross when Lina takes up residence at his isolated property, and tension builds—first in silence, then in sharp, probing conversations over wine and cigarettes. Their connection is messy, magnetic, and deeply flawed. Milo is blunt and emotionally unavailable; Lina is unraveling but seductive, using charm as armor. They orbit each other—drawn, repelled, resisting. But both know what it’s like to live with something unspeakable. As Lina pieces together her fractured memory, it becomes clear that her fiancé’s death wasn’t as accidental as the police claimed. And someone in the village wants the truth buried. And as she and Milo fall into a love that’s as brutal as it is tender, Lina begins to ask herself the scariest question of all: **What if she killed him?**
