Orion was on his way back home from work.He was hurrying back home to take a nap while planning how he would spend his weekend as well, but while he was lost in thought, a truck suddenly appeared out of nowhere and the last thing he remembered was the truck barreling towards him before everything around him turned dark.However to his surprise, he didn’t feel any pain after having the accident. In fact, he couldn’t see anything.Everything around him seemed dark but when he opened his mouth to speak, he heard the gurgling sounds of a baby.Noticing that the one sounding like a baby was him, Orion tried to open his eyes to know exactly where he was, but when he did, the first thing his eyes fell upon was a stunning beautiful elf, holding him with the most tenderest of care.Not only was she his mother, she was also a queen as well and she had a beautiful sister who adored him just as much as his mother.Aside from this, Orion also noticed he had received a system which allowed him to grow and evolve faster than a normal High Elf but after finding out the huge role his mother played in eradicating the war between all races, Orion vowed to live a happy and fulfilling life with his mother, aunt and a few others he cared a lot about.

Cui’s parents and girls are blind when they come, and their parents don’t love their mothers, and any servant dares not to look down on her.
Cui Ti has memories of being cold-eyed and bitter.
Waiting to see a lot of her jokes.
However, no one thought that she would be welcomed in a palanquin carried by the most glorious son of the Pei family at the most desolate moment.
Cui Ti doesn’t understand why Pei Xuan is willing to marry her, it won’t be love at first sight.
But she was grateful to Pei Xuan.

He would hug her, kiss her occasionally, and never scold her.
Cui Ti is satisfied with the marriage.
As a blind person, there is only so much you can do.
So after getting married, she let go of her restraint and thought about raising children for Pei Xuan to repay his kindness.

Ernest Quelt, the alchemist renowned for his unparalleled mastery of alchemy, has perished.But his death wasn't a noble sacrifice in battle, nor the result of a failed expedition—it was a betrayal. The very comrades he trusted most turned on him, driven by envy of his growing power.Yet fate wasn’t entirely cruel. With his final breath, Ernest's gaze fell upon the tube that contained his greatest achievement: a perfect artificial being known as the Homunculus.More than just a vessel resembling a human, this creation harbored the power of a catastrophic beast—one that had once nearly brought the world to ruin.
