What life is left for a warrior when there is no more enemy to fight?

…He knelt before her in the posture of a soldier giving honor to their Queen. And she didn’t even know it.

“Harth,” he rasped, “I come empty-handed. I bring no weapon. Because I swear to you, I will never choose to harm you. Never draw your blood—in anger, or in fear. I bring no shield. Because I vow I will never defend myself from your eyes, your hands, your mind. I am yours.”

*****

After a year of peace in Anima, Tarkyn finds himself… lonely. As the Captain of the Queen’s Guard and a lion-shifter, he has met every female in the tribes, but never found his mate. Certain he must have overlooked someone, Tarkyn undertakes a grueling ritual, pleading with the Creator to reveal her. But the ritual presses him to the end of even his formidable strength.

Yet, the Creator heard his cry…

Discovered on the brink of death by his mate, Harth, and nursed back to health, Tarkyn now faces the most difficult battle of his life. Because Harth isn’t just a stranger to the Anima, she is a weapon of the humans who tried to destroy them.

Can the love of a warrior and his enemy bring peace to Anima? Or will they be torn apart forever by war between their peoples?

Seventeen years ago, the Su family held the wrong child!

The fake daughter-in-law occupies the magpie’s nest and robs the loved ones and fiancé that should belong to the real daughter.

The real daughter has left her hometown, the phoenix that has landed is not as good as a chicken, and she is so poor that she does not have a mobile phone.

As soon as this gossip came out, everyone in City B was waiting for the real palace fight drama.

Surprisingly, the true and false daughters who were supposed to fight to the death actually joined forces!

It’s so outrageous!
*
The real daughter, Su Yunshao, is a celestial master. He plays cats and dogs in the countryside, casts out ghosts and farms. Don’t be too hilarious.
On that day, the biological parents and King Yama came to the door.
Dad Su: “You have suffered.”
Su Ma: “Go home with your parents!”
Hades: “This king has finally found you! It’s a ghost!”
Su Yunshao: ? ? ?

The fake daughter Su Yiyi has a school system, study hard, and have everything.
She wants to buy whitening pills for her mother, hair growth cream for her father, and repair liquid for her brother.
However, in the system’s daily grand platform, the points for reading books, doing questions, and writing papers are pitifully small, but the good things in the mall are expensive.
On that day, the real daughter came back, and the system burst into the trenches.
Su Yunshao entered the experimental class, points +300
Top ten in Su Yunshao’s class, points +800
Su Yunshao’s top ten grades, points +2000
The fake daughter looked at the real daughter with eyes like the savior: “Sister, let’s take the Qingbei exam together! Do you like the Department of Physics or the Department of Chemistry?”
Su Yunshao: “…” The ghost’s hand trembled slightly.

1. The main family and career.
2. True and false daughters join forces, not infighting.

With no choice or voice, he finds himself like yet another pebble in a vast river of lives.Each death brings a new beginning—a new world awaiting. But this time, he awakens as a duck, complete with wings, a strange beak, and a little stature that doesn't please him.His Cursed Living has led him to this odd form, and though it seems bizarre, he is determined to discover what his tiny legs can achieve and how his mighty wings can confront the challenges ahead. Perhaps even the Gods who condemned him to this fate? Nay. They aren't everything and he knows it.Survival is paramount; the world wants his little life for numerous reasons, but every one of them is the same. He destroys. A strange voice echoes in his mind, whispering levels and abilities or rules about this world called the Battleworld. He accepts that, yet he yearns for revenge—a chance to reclaim his purpose amidst this silly absurdity of walking on two little flat feet.This world will witness his journey as a duck. All shall see his ascension!What can you expect from this novel that sounds ridiculous, as a duck sounds?- A stoic and long-term survival adventure in a high fantasy world with a non-human MC. - Fights, abilities, attributes, and skills and softer litrpg elements. There are 100 levels to beat, with a lot of systems underneath.- Gods and a big world that Boosts and plays with its citizens or almost anything alive, blessings or tricking them.- Some numbers go up. Xianxia and Progression Fantasy elements like magic, techniques, swordsmanship, and world-building. Cultivation and a big world full of mysteries.- MC, Murai, is a weird entity in the overall story. He is a numerous-time reincarnator so expect some shenanigans with it. Discover what he is on about, or who he is or used to be. I wouldn't necessarily call him OP. Sometimes he is, while other times not so much. So much for a duck...This will be a very long series of books, with 1st drafts in November 2023 going up to the 10th book which marks no end in view.
