What happens when someone with the pride of a dragon meets someone with the courage of a tiger?

Romance is a very popular genre in Webnovels. The first thing that come to mind when we talk about romance are the CEO novels. Even though we don't want to admit it, they are the mainstream romance stories in the Webnovel website. 

So why do people love romance stories? I hope you find the answer while reading this chapter.

----------------------------------

FattyBai: No worries, was just a bit curious. It's always amazing seeing how the Romance genre basically dominates the site.

Parasection: and CEO stories.

FattyBai: So I was sort of curious what the demographics on the reader's sex were. But yeah, it's a fair assumption to say that the ladies rule the site, lol

WWFire: Readers gender stats r ambiguous, it is manipulatable after all.

FattyBai: Unless there's this hidden group of guys who have been starving for CEO romance novels (which would actually be funny).

Parasection: But the sacred texts.

WWFire: All I see are genderless alien. *derp emoticon*

reinesse ♥: kek.

FattyBai: How do we pull in the female readers in if we can't write a romance story? *cry emoticon*

Parasection: No choice but to write yaoi then.

WWFire: We who read these kind of fantasy novels don't live our lives correctly pal.

CailinMatthews: *ghost hug emoticon*

Parasection: Give in to the demons.

WWFire: That's why we escape reality sometimes. 

FattyBai: It's like being offered a big cake and unable to take a slice.

Zehell2218: I think male reader have their own chance and market.

FattyBai: For sure, but it'd be nice to tap into both sides.

Zehell2218: @FattyBai I think I'll make fantasy romance so I can attract both.

FattyBai: I mean, it's not a bad idea, but how do you split it up? 50% romance/50% dragon ball z?


Parasection: The fuq that sounds like an abomination.

FattyBai: It does.

Zehell2218: @FattyBai No it's 80% romance 20% action. *joy emoticon*

Noveljunky: Besides Romance, what else do females like to read?

Parasection: BL, yaoi, drama.

Zehell2218: Still BL is romance.

Anjeeriku: horror lol.

reinesse ♥: @Noveljunky xianxia I think.

Noveljunky: Mmm.

Zenith: Well, need too write romance...kek

Zehell2218: Do female reader like to read apocalypse novel? Quick question since I will make fantasy romance in apocalypse.

[A/N: Sis, did you forget that you're a girl too?]

Totally Not Nano: nah oof.

FattyBai: @Zehell2218 Aww, man. But then you have to develop characters and write meaningful dialogue.

Zenith: I am probably gonna f*ck up my time trying to make a romance story.

FattyBai: We like blowing stuff up and fighting baddies.

Zehell2218: cmon it will be comedy. *laugh emoticon*

Parasection: The best thing in a novel is character development humor and action romance can be on the side.

Anjeeriku: Romance can be a great sub genre.

Parasection: how does one even write romance? I don't know where to begin with that genre.

FattyBai: I'm a simple guy, I see plot and I drown it in martial arts and manly stuff. Of course, I don't know what feelings are. Can you eat them to increase your cultivation base? *think smart emoticon*

Parasection: I've never experienced romance so i'd fail the moment i'd attempt a story like that.

Zehell2218: Actually, I like to write fighting scene but without romance my reader will kill me. So...yeah I tag it as romance! *joy emoticon*

Parasection: Fight scenes are fun to write.

FattyBai: I'm trying to break through into the "Immortal lonely sperg" phase~

Zehell2218: Very sloooooowww romance.

Anjeeriku: Please no abusive ML @Zehell2218 They're disgusting. idk why women like to read them.

Zehell2218: @Anjeeriku I don't know if girls who read xianxia will read apocalypse novel too.

reinesse ♥: I wanna write a novel like it's not easy to be a man after traveling to the future.

Zehell2218: @Anjeeriku No I won't make abusive ML. @reinesse ♥ same *joy emoticon*

Totally Not Nano: @Anjeeriku *cough* TBWWM *cough*

reinesse ♥: And an actual xianxia novel with reasonable characters.

Zehell2218: But without the romance it's bland.

reinesse ♥: Like characters, especially main character who knows how to adjust because extreme pride is not good.

FattyBai: @Zehell2218 Baby Dragon Truer words have not been spoken, and that scares me.

reinesse ♥: Some villains are really brainless. they can scheme, but they don't have a reasonable reason to do so

Zenith: Kek.

Zehell2218: @Zenith gramps I have idea for fantasy romance lemme tell you after I finish writing and see if it's interesting or not.

Zenith: Get the MC u desire! Yeah @Zehell2218 

FattyBai: I fear becoming a more wholesome and fleshed out human being. Please no development.

Zehell2218: @Zenith It's ok. Just want to see if people will find this good or not. *joy emoticon*

Totally Not Nano: I think there's a formula in getting famous as a writer.

[A/N: Oh? Such formula exist? Teach me Senpai!]

Totally Not Nano: Let's debate about it. *thinking emoticon*

Parasection: The formula is write romance and you're set.

Totally Not Nano: Any genre + xxxxxxx = top 1.

[A/N: Today… I lost faith in humanity.]

Noveljunky: If you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back.

Moonbirth: Write a lot. Write everyday. Post a lot everyday... write about what readers want to read about.

Anjeeriku: Write a lot. be a slave. Lol

Elyon knew that "Romance" is not his strong point. He writes a fantasy story with romance, but he can't tell if the romance will be able to attract female readers. Out of curiosity, he asked some of his fellow authors the question "Why do you read romance stories?"

Here are their answers…

Kyosei: Because I am single. 

Reili: To fill my empty void of a love life.

Minrei: Because romance let you feel what is to be loved, plus it is universal you dont need to learn magic or cultivation in order to read.

Bajj: Due to lack of romance irl.

Murakami: I read because I enjoy the friction and conflict between the FL and ML. The insistence vs resistance is naisu.

Qin: I reads romance only for ideas and info.

VlassisBehrakis: I don't read romance novels.

[A/N: Oof I asked the wrong person.]

Elyon then  ̶a̶m̶b̶u̶s̶h̶e̶d̶ asked some readers about their opinion about romance novels.

Yin: I read romance novels because I want that kind of drama to happen to me in real life. But I know it will never happen haha.

A Certain Irresistible Meowlin: I wonder why? And I do read romance novels. Though the chance of me dropping them is also the highest out of all the genres. Every so often I come across a scene that makes me just want to squeal and fangirl. 

----------------------------------

Elyon decided to dig deeper and asked a few of his senior "romance authors" some questions about their reason for writing romance stories.

The first question is… Why did you choose to write Romance Stories?

Anjeeriku: I'm comfortable writing romance stories compared to other genres. I'm a helpless romantic person and I like novels that can invoke other people's feelings.

Bajj: First of all, I like reading romance story. It was the reason why I read books before and reading other genres comes after. All in all, due to these romance fiction books, I got the opportunity to read more great books with different genre.

MishaK: That's what I read, so write that too.

Zehell2218: Because as reader, I want to read romance novel so when I write, I write romance since my motto is I write what I want to read.

Ikazainudin: The easiest genre. Everyone can relate.

End_of_Era: It wasn't a full on Romance, it was slice of life with romance which I feel was necessary with progression of the characters.

----------------------------------


The second question… When you were making your ML and FL, did you imagine yourself as the lead of your story at any given point in time?

Anjeeriku: I would be a liar if I said no. There were instances that I'd put myself in my FL's shoes. Whenever that happens, my writing feels more passionate and truthful that sometimes it was hard to know where my fl starts and where I end. 

Shen Yi, LMD's ML was based on a person I've lost, The One That Got Away so it was sometimes hard not to self-insert whenever there were scenes that need to invoke feelings from readers. 

Bajj: I believe that every character the author was making and breathing life into it, a part of him/her is added to its character. But me imagining of being the ML/FL, never. I'm too pure for that. Kek

MishaK: Yes I did but sometimes. Otherwise you can't infuse emotions in your characters. It is important to understand your characters.

Zehell2218: Yes, I imagine myself as the lead. Of course, I tweak it a bit, such as in age and appearance. But mostly, the characteristics is similar to me.

Ikazainudin: FL and ML character based on what I want to be irl. Yup. I imagine that will be my love story.

End_of_Era: Yes, my leads had some ocassional self insertion.

----------------------------------

The third question… If you were to choose some other genre aside from romance, what would you pick?

Anjeeriku: Fantasy. I always look up to those authors who can write fantasy stories/novels well. I believe writing a fantasy novel is harder than writing romance. 

[A/N: Ahem! 10 points to Griffindor!]

Bajj: Horror/thriller/Action. Read GGGB godamnit! [Good Girl Gone Bad]

MishaK: I am writing a Fantasy romance aside from regular vanilla romance *smile emoticon*

Zehell2218: Fantasy, magical realism, fan fiction.

Ikazainudin: Psychological/horror and maybe children story.

End_of_Era: The new genre I'm writing is fantasy/violent .

----------------------------------


The fourth and final question… If you were to give a message to your beloved readers, what would it be?

Anjeeriku: I'm sorry for not being inconsistent with updates. Y'all know I love you, but a little consideration and patience as I face this rough patch in my life would be very much appreciated.

Bajj: Vote me please :* mass release comes after, deal?

[A/N: Oof!]

MishaK: Be responsible in reviewing the book you are reading. Authors love to listen from their readers. So talk to them.

Zehell2218: Beloved reader, your author here is working hard to provide your daily dose so pliz pretty pliz, read my chapter using paid SS since I don't get even a penny for free SS. 

Tips: use free SS on translation novel. The translator still get money and use paid SS on original novel so we can get a bit money to continue living *wink*

Ikazainudin: I want readers to know, that love, hope and miracles exist. Be open and value each moment of your life like the MC's did.


----------------------------------

Author's Thoughts

Hello Guys! I hope you enjoyed this chapter of WWCG. Personally, I've read a few CEO novels myself. I also read some FL stories like A Slight Smile Is Devastating (Love O2O), Hidden Marriage, Doomed to be Cannon Fodder, Transmigrator meets Reincarnator, A Mistaken Marriage Match: A Generation of Military Counselor, There Is an Angel in That Church (short story), Eight Treasures Trousseau, Grabbing Your Hand, Dragging you Away, A Mistaken Marriage Match: Record of Washed Grievances…

Ai~ there's a few more that I won't add to the list because it will create a wall of text. Well anyways, the reason why I read these stories is to get an idea on "WHY" the ladies love to read them.

Let's just say that it's a unique way to see a world in the eye of a lady (if you are a man of course). When done properly, the execution of the story can capture the hearts of anyone, even male readers. I believe that no matter what gender you are, as long as you find the story interesting then it doesn't matter whether you are a guy or a gal no?

Perhaps, when I'm not too busy to write my stories, I'll once again pick a romance novel to read. Hopefully, I will find another hidden gem that will bring unexpected surprises to anyone who are lucky enough to find them.

P.S I would like to thank my fellow authors, especially my senior romance authors who answered some of my questions regarding romance novels. 

To my senior authors, May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the Power Stones shine warm upon your face, and Spirit Stones fall soft upon your fields. (￣▽￣)ノ

"I can do it well."

It was a menacing flame. When the child breathed on his two small palms, the flame quickly grew in size.

Yo… Dragon breath…

The sight sent chills down on the witch's spine.

The child, who carelessly spewed out fire, said proudly:

"I can't let you be disappointed!"

"Well, what are you gonna do…?"

"You're in trouble because of him, aren't you?

Yeah. It's gonna be very difficult. But... I feel a sense of uneasiness and I don't know why.

The dragon boy screamed brazenly, his red eyes wide open.

"I'll kill him!"

Her mouth agape, Eleonora could not process what she just heard.

What did he just say?

"You're gonna kill him? That guy?"

"Yes, I don't think it'll be difficult."

She stared down at the little child who said, "It wouldn't be difficult to kill a single human.", and saw the intent to kill masked in the child's face, crystal clear.

"You… didn't you come from that man's arms?"

 

"He offered to take me to my mother, no! Master's house!"

The little dragon accidentally said mother and brushed it off quickly. Eleonora glanced at him, sighing at his cuteness.

Yeah, I forgot. No matter how cute he is and how human he looks, his body is a dragon. He thinks in a completely different way than human beings.

The child seemed anxious when Eleonora didn't answer, his round, gentle eyes trembling.

"Well… you're gonna throw me away again…?"

"…No, I won't throw you away."

I can't send it anywhere right now. Why would I send away a child who said something dangerous? What if he creates a real accident?

Suddenly, Eleonora was reminded of something.

In the original storyline, the dragon had been killed only by his obsession with the heroine, Lenia. It appears at the end of the novel that its attachment to the heroine was not normal.

At the ending of the novel, when he succeeded in killing Eleonora, the villain, Lenia, was to finally give her heart to the male lead, Leonard.


However, the dragon kidnaps Lenia and leaves for the world beyond.

In short, he ran away with a hostess.

What happened to Lenia after that? No one knows. The novel ended there. Maybe even the heroine herself doesn't know. Plus, nothing left of the life of the male protagonist appears in the novel.

I thought there was only a sweet romance left over the five books, but the faithful pet dragon of the hostess was actually the final boss and the dark horse.

The twist was rather surprising. For an ending of a romance novel to be a breakup, ridiculous! As a reader who has been looking forward to some romance between the main characters, it is a disappointment.

And the whole story was compressed into such a short book.  It is an ending that there is no way to explain anything other than that the artist did not want to write anymore.

But it's none of my business what kind of ending the main characters get. This body will be roasted by a dragon before Lenia could even get her hands on me. That bastard Leonard can even bid his own self goodbye.

The thought gave Eleonora goosebumps.

Lost in her trance, the little dragon boy, with anxious eyes, stared at her grim expression and asked.

"Master, are you sick?"

"...."


"The human man!"

"No!"

It's because of you, you bastard!

Frightened at her sudden loud voice, the child ran to hide under her bed. The witch grabbed his little shoulders and warned him.

"You can't just kill people. That's not a joke. Okay? Especially, don't kill me."

"Why do I kill my master?"

"Why kill me, right?"

"...?"

The child looked at her as if he didn't understand. Eleonora held the child upright and stressed it over and over again.

"Listen! Don't kill living creatures recklessly. Even if it's a little wild flower on the side of the road."

"Do not kill!"


The child merely mimicked her, unable to comprehend what the witch was saying intensely. Fortunately, she was a product of an infusion-based education, a human being with a pretty old-fashioned way of thinking.

In other words, 'Memorize if you don't understand!'

"You can't hurt others without a reason, you can't lie, you can't steal. You can only do such thing when…"

Eleonora pondered for a moment.

"Only when I allow it. Okay?"

The witch, Elonora Asil, has fifteen previous convictions.

And the transmigrator, Noah Park, had no intentions of being involved in the novel’s original plot of the dragon beheading the villainess. With that thought in mind, she abandoned her titles as The Wicked Witch and sought to live a long and peaceful life.

So she heads down to the countryside wrought with deep remorse for all her misdeeds. And all should be happy… or she thought.

“Please raise me!”

And so it would seem that she stumbled upon the heroine’s pet dragon — the black-haired kid that would turn ballistic and obsessive later on — imprinted the villainess as his mother. And to make matters worse, the male lead suspects her as the prime culprit of stealing the dragon.

“How long should I keep up with you?”

She thought he’d arrest her right away, but seems like the male lead was slowly becoming the dragon’s butler.

“Can I hug you?”

“No.”

“Then… can you hold me?”

The villainess believes that the dragon needs a bit of taming.

‘Oh, male lead, won’t you sign a life contract as a real butler?

When Qiang Shen reacted, he realized that he was in a forest, when he turned around he saw that Jiang Chen and Yun Xue were unconscious but they were unhurt.

"It seems that you are more resistant than you look" Qiang Shen heard him being told. When he saw the person who spoke to him, he realized that it was the old man who gave him the cultivation book. "Welcome to my space, do not worry, nothing bad will happen," said the old man. "Who are you?" Qiang Shen asked. "Do not rush, first try to recover some strength" said the old man. After the old man finished speaking, Qiang Chen realized that the place was completely full of natural energy." Seeing that the old man did not want to hurt them, he made Qiang Shen relax and began to recover his energy.

-------------------------------------------

After a few minutes passed, Qiang Shen's energy had recovered 70% in full.

--------------------------------------------

After having recovered much of his energy, Qiang Shen again went to where the old man was and bowed. "Qiang Shen thanks the venerable old man for saving our lives," he said. "Ha ha ha ha ha, you do not have to be so formal, I'm not so old ... well maybe yes but do not pay attention to things of little value" said the old man while laughing. "Can I know the name of my benefactor so I can thank him properly and I would also like to know, where is this place?" Qiang Shen asked as he ignored what the old man had told him. "I already told you not to be so polite to me, we are both cultivators ha ha ha ha, well, if you want to know my name, just call me Zheng!," said the old man Zheng, "and are you currently within my energy space" "space energy?" Qiang Shen asked. "Are you telling me you're in the 6th realism?" "Realism?" Oh, you mean the Sage cycle, yes, I've been in that cycle for a few hundred years.

Qiang Shen was impressed. During his previous life, he knew that there were powerful people and he knew all the names of the cultivators who were in the Realism of the Sage, and they did not exceed the fingers of their hands, besides they were all the leaders or the Great Elders of the clans and sects hidden but also knew that they were the first to die after the fateful day. It was the Supreme Demons and the Dragon Emperors who fought with them and perished along with them but never knew of any by the name of Zheng.

Also, he knew that when one reached the realism of the Sage, he could create his own space that did not belong to this world. Storage space, energy space, room space, stable space. There were several types of space that one could create in the realism of Sage. "Boy, I can see that you have talent and that you care about your friends ... Oh?! ha ha ha, but what do we have here, a magician with an affinity to the fire element who has just awakened his mana and mh? Well, it seems that this young lady has a talent for cultivation. It's very funny, I go out to the outside world after being locked up for 300 years ciltivating and find fun the same day. I have not had so much fun since  I saw old Cao Cao appoint himself as emperaror.

"Cao Cao, you mean the Cao Cao of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but how old is this man?" Qiang Shen thinked.

"Keep these books, boy, it seems that if I leave these things with you I will be able to see many more fun things, ha ha ha ha ha" said old Sheng as he passed several old books to Qiang Shen. When he saw what the old Zheng had given him, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Fire Elemental Magic levels 1 - 4, Water Elemental Magic Levels 1 - 3, Alchemy Levels 1 - 4, Level 1 Summoning Magic, Golden Dragon Cultivation Technique, Ice Fox Cultivation Technique, Wolf Cultivation Technique Ghost, Sorcery level 1, and several other books. In total he gave 25 books approximately.

"Eh?! Where did you get all these cultivation and magic books?!" Qiang Shen asked. "Several are of sects that no longer exist, others were given to me by several spirits, and others I found in the ruins of ancient civilizations." Said the old man. "If your friend wants to be a dual magician, triple, quadruple or great magician, you need several of those manuals, do not worry, I leave you all the elements, and let the girl practice this technique" said the old man pointing to one of the books " Lightning tiger cultivation technique?!" Qiang Shen asked. "Yes, and your best practice is this one," said the old Zheng "8-color egg cultivation tecnique?" Qiang Shen asked again, "Yes, will help you greatly, thanks to your luck that you have just reached the third cycle, if you had continued practicing that technique that you currently use, it would have been impossible for you to reach the Grand Master level, do not even think of Sage" the old Zheng." Thank you, I appreciate your kindness wholeheartedly" said Qiang Shen.

 "Very well, I think it's time to go back but before, let's change this appearance as an old man." After saying it, the old man began to rejuvenate until he had the appearance of a young man of twenty years, muscular body, white skin, neither too thin nor too fat and without a beard. "I think it's better that way." After seeing how the old man changed his appearance, Qiang Shen felt as if he were walking in a whirlwind that lasted only a few seconds.
------------------------------------------------

When he reacted, Qiang Shen was in a desolate and hot spot, saw his two friends who were waking up. When he saw that they were fine, he began to hear that cries were coming from all sides.

In a destroyed world where humanity is on the verge of extinction, a survivor uses a spell combining the magic of different civilizations to return to its past and prevent the end of the world ... or at least, give humanity the weapons to be able to survive.

I withdrew my arm into my cloak and took out 20 bronze coins and handed it to the guard. After paying the Entrance Fee, I was gesture to move forward into the city. I started walking with my Sentries into the human city

As we enter the city of Zalos, I see the main street which is 20 feet wide big enough to fit two wagons. There are a bunch of shops on both sides of the street. I could see a bunch of wooden signs hanging in front of the shops which had an image and the shop's name on it. Some of the signs have a image of a plate with a fork and knife on both sides of the plate; a shield and two swords crisscrossing each other and etc. It looks like the common people of this world can't read the words of their language.

As my Sentries and I walk down the main street, everyone on the street was moving out of our way. As I head towards the center of the town, I could see a castle in the middle of the city but I stopped. I pointed towards a man walking on the street who looks to be a patrolling guard since he is wear the same kind of armor as the Gate Guards. 

"Hey you, we are looking for a place to sell the materials and meat of some creatures we killed" I said

"AH. T...th…that depends, if you want to sell some meat, you can sell it to any of the restaurants on the main roads. If you have claws and skin you can sell it to a tailor or Blacksmith or Weapon and Armor shop also located on the main roads." said the Patrol Guard

"Ok, where can I get information and do you have a Mercenary or an Adventurer's Guild here?" I asked

"Huh...what is an Adventurer's Guild? We do have a Mercenary Guild, if that is what you mean. The Mercenary Guild is near the center of the city. You can find it by its sign. It's an Dragon holding a sword and spear in its claw " said the Patrol Guard 

"Alright. Does this city have a library or a book shop?" I asked

"We do have a small book shop, its on the East side of the city." said the Patrol Guard

"Thanks" I said. After giving my thanks, I walked away from the Patrol Guard and headed to the book shop in the East side of the city. It took my Sentries and I 20 minutes just to get to the book store because the street were crowded with people and wagons. The book store was a two story building with a  sign with the image of an opened book. I opened up the door, and I see four bookshelves containing roughly 300 books, I am guessing. 

At the back of the store is a counter with a beautiful blonde hair woman in a magician robe behind it who was reading a book. At the same time I saw her, she looked up from book and spotted me and my Sentries in cosplay. She gave us a puzzling look like she was saying 'who the hell are these guys'. My Sentries started to spread out to the bookshelves and started roaming the books and searching for anything that could give me information about this world I am in.

I just stood there waiting for my Sentries to find books on things I could use to know more about the World. While I stood still waiting, the book store girl was looking at my Sentries with curious eyes. It was like she was fascinated by us but I didn't think it mattered. 

After waiting for 15 minutes, my Sentries were able to find 7 books and a map that seem to have useful information of the world while the other books are like romance, fantasy and adventure books you would see back in my world .

{A History of the Ark World Vol. 1-5} - Tells the History of the Ark World

{The Six Races of Ark World} - Gives details about the characteristic, cultures, and religions of each of the six races.

{The History of the Three Kingdoms of the Hou Continent} - Tells about the history of the Three kingdoms that rule or the Hou continent where Humans, Dwarves/Gnomes and Beast People live.

{Map of Hou Continent}

After confirming the things I wanted, my Sentries and I walked up to the counter and placed the books and scroll on it. 

"I would like these books and map." I said to the Book store girl who looks like a magician

"Oh, now would you? Why are you buying books that have information about our world and the Hou Continent, it seems like you  are buying these books because you don't know anything about our world? said the Book store girl

After hearing here said that, I was shocked. 

'How is this girl able to guess my secret. Is this what people said about a woman's intuition being super scary.' I thought 

"No, I am buying these books for my book collection and the map is because I lost my last map" I said calmly

"Hmmm....alright." Said the book store girl "The books and map will cost you 4 silver coins and 5 bronze coins."

"Ok" I said while staring at the girl. I took out the money pouch out of my cloak and paid for the books and map.

After paying, I had one of my Sentries grab the items and started walking out.

"If you ever want to talk about this world and know more about it Mr. Mysterious, just come back anytime. My name is Riana" said Raina the book store girl

I suddenly stopped in my tracks for a second before exiting the book store.

I just watched Avenger: Age of Ultron in the theater . After watching I wished I was Ultron with his abilities and intelligence but when I was making that wish I was dying

The full moon's light touched Luna's little body. And suddenly, the little sprite shone bright and her eyes turned full white and glowed. As if someone possessed her, she started speaking in a mysterious voice.

"When the chosen one 
Who is not one of us
Unveils the hidden Truth
The barrier shall be broken 
And the path to the unknown shall open

But take heed and be weary
For in the unknown lies trials untold
The pits may be fiery
But take heart! For history is about to unfold!"

After speaking mysterious words, Luna continued to shine bright and glowed for a whole more minute before fading to her normal state. Rania, Elliot, Ducis, and the other sprites were all bewildered by what just happened.
"Luna, are you alright?," Rania asked as her face grew worry for the little sprite.
"Huh? I'm fine, why? Did something happen?" Luna asked, totally unaware of all the things she just said.
Everyone gaped in unison as Luna scratched her head, trying to remember if she missed on anything.
"You glowed bright and started uttering some disturbing words like some lunatic, midget," Ducis answered with his usual sarcastic tone.
"Hey!," Luna got angry. "Did you just call me midget?!"
"Oh? I don't see any problem with stating the facts," the dragon replied yet again, as he raised one of his eyebrows.
"Grrrr...you…..meanie dragon! I'm not a midget!"
"If you're not a midget then what are you? Tiny?"
"Wraaa!!! Nooooo!" Luna's face grew redder and more annoyed.
"Hahaha," Rania chuckled as she watched them.
"Stop squabbling, you're noisy," Elliot stopped the two. The kind and gentle Elliot was no more and he returned to his usual self. "Just tell us what it means."
Luna was confused. "Tell 'what' means?"
"Luna," Rania called her. "You have indeed been...well, as it looked like, been possessed by something? Then you started saying…"
"Yeah, yeah," the other sprites agreed. 
""When the chosen one, who is not one of us, unveils the hidden truth…." Rania tried to remember what she heard as she told it to Luna. "The barrier shall be broken, and the path to the unknown shall open".
"But take heed and be weary," Elliot continued. "For in the unknown lies trials untold, the pits may be fiery, but take heart, for history is about to unfold".
"Yes, that's what you said. Would you know what it means, Luna?" Rania asked.
"I said that?" Luna got more confused.
Rania turned to Elliot.
"It looks like she really doesn't remember."
"Well, it's useless trying to guess what it means. We should research it instead."
"Yeah, you're right." Rania agreed and turned again to Luna, "It's okay Luna, let's look for answers together, okay?"
"O...okay!," and Luna smiled. 
"But we should probably sleep first, right? It's almost midnight," Rania reminded them.
And so everyone agreed to rest and start looking for answers tomorrow.
Few hours passed and the sun was back to wake everyone up. They did, as discussed on the previous night, researched about the meaning of what Luna's possessed body said. 
Good thing, Anguis, Elliot's chamber had a great collection of books in its library. Aside from the bookshelf he had in his bedroom, he had a separate room that served as his library. It was big and very spacious like his room. There were beautifully lit chandeliers here as opposed to his dark themed bedroom. The bookshelves were all so tall and made of the finest woods you could see in the kingdom. There were also comfortable chairs and sofas all around, partnered with sturdy wood tables, and soft carpets on the floor. You could also see a few plants and flowers here and there, though it wasn't there at the beginning, but the sprites decided that the whole Forbidden Chamber could use a little bit of greenery, so they conjured plants and flowers in pots all over the place - luckily, Elliot didn't say much, maybe he liked it too - that or it was because Rania liked it - who knows? Only time would tell.
Rania loved this library amongst all the rooms you could visit inside the Forbidden Chamber and forest. She loved how cozy it was and so relaxing, especially now with all the flowers and plants at the corners and the walls, and the tables. She also liked the smell of books, and whenever she read them, just the sound of the pages flipping gave her tiny joy. Yes, Rania was a book lover. Despite being born in modern times where humanity had done a lot of improvement when it comes to technology, she still enjoyed the classic books. 
Elliot, on the other hand, also liked staying in the library to read books not because he liked the idea of reading, but because the stories he got from those books made him feel like he was free for a moment. That he could go out and experience the world. Since he couldn't get out of the Forbidden Chamber, only his imagination and the books helped him understand what life was like outside. Due to that, he grew to respect all the authors of those books which he read - well, that's basically every book in the library - he had been staying there for years. 
But even so, there were still some sections he didn't explore much - like the romantic books section who made him feel cringey because he couldn't understand the thought process of the characters, and also some other unusual books which weren't that interesting for him, and books that were not yet appropriate for his age. Yes, he followed the age guidelines of the books in the library. He even only read books for 18+ when he was at that exact same age, which was just a few years back, now he's 22. And by 18+, it meant books with gore and blood spilling, and other horrible stuff, but not matured books designed for self indulgence - he doesn't have those in his library - which was the main reason for him not being able to comprehend romance. One could really imagine all the broad stuff he learned so far. 
"Hmmm..," Rania mumbled as she pressed her left hand on her chin while sitting on a sofa, with her other hand holding a book that she got. A large pile of other books could be seen beside it on the right side of the table. "Still nothing here".
"But we've been to the library a million times!", Luna complained with all her might.
"Hahaha," Rania giggled. "Not a million, you're exaggerating. We've only been here around 20 times, I guess".
"That's a million for me," Luna got more weary and dropped herself dead amongst one of the books. "I can't take this anymore. I don't like books even if they're made from fibers of wood from trees."
"Hahaha," Rania laughed at her again. "You should go get some rest then. We've been here for hours already, just a few more and it's gonna be night again".
Luna's eyes brightened, "Really?!" And as Rania nodded, "Yippppeee!! I'm gonna go prepare some snacks instead!"
"Rania, don't spoil her, she's just forever lazy," warned one of the other sprites who shook her head in dismay for Luna.
"I'm so sorry, she's just so cute, like all of you are".
"Ahhh~", the sprites' hearts were touched and they all flew towards Rania to give her a big hug.
Ducis watched them with disgust on his face. Then, he continued sitting beside Elliot trying to look for answers in the books as well. But he wasn't really reading much. He was just waiting for a chance to bully the sprites. Only the sprites since he doesn't despise Rania anymore after she helped Elliot.
Days passed by but they still couldn't find answers. Elliot also, couldn't remember any books he had read that may have had the answer. Little by little, they felt that looking in the library was useless and started to lose hope in finding any answer there. 
Until one day, something unexpected happened.
Rania climbed a ladder as she tried to take a book from the top shelf. However, the height of the ladder was not enough to reach the top, so Rania tiptoed to get it. Elliot noticed her from a distance and glided towards her to help. He was so fast that Rania was surprised when he quickly teleported beside her which also caused her to lose balance and fall from the ladder. Fortunately, Elliot had a really quick reflex and was able to catch her right away. 
"Stop moving," Elliot ordered her as he carried Rania like a princess while the other books she's carrying fell to the ground. Elliot sighed, "You're one clumsy girl, are you?"
Rania blushed from embarrassment for a moment and replied, "I am not always clumsy you know. You're the one who suddenly appeared beside me so I was shocked." 
As Rania tried to reason out, she accidentally stretched her feet, kicking the bookshelf behind Elliot, making it wobble, and finally, it fell hard on the ground, catching all the other bookshelf behind it.
DDUGGGGGGSSSHHHH!!
It was like a domino of bookshelves falling one after another. It caused a great uproar in the once quiet library. 
"Oh no, I am so sorry!" Rania exclaimed. "I - I didn't mean to kick that hard."
"And you said you're not clumsy," Elliot smirked. "Are your feet alright?"
Embarrassed, Rania covered her face and shook her head. She DID hurt herself as she unintentionally kicked the very hard and sturdy bookshelf. Her delicate feet were sprained from it.
Elliot then, flew down to the ground and let Rania sit on a sofa to heal her sprain. As he was healing her, Rania noticed something under the fallen bookshelves, underneath the wrinkled carpet.
"Elliot look," Rania pointed her fingers beneath the carpet. 
Elliot looked at his back, towards the place Rania was pointing to. And there, he saw a hint of a trapdoor underneath the crumpled carpet. After healing Rania, he went towards it and tried to scan any magic from it. 
Ducis and the sprites all gathered towards them after hearing the loud banging and were all surprised as they saw the devastation that happened. Their eyes grew larger when they saw the trapdoor too.
Elliot decided to open it but Ducis warned him.
"Elliot, be careful. We don't know what's in there"
"I'm powerful enough"
"This is not about power, it could be something far more dangerous"
"Ducis," Elliot called out to him rather coldly. "Tell me".
"Tell you what?"

A moment of silence passed by.

"Is there something you're not telling me?"

"Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny"

Rania just lost her fiance. And now, she's captured by an unknown race called "Magi" to be a consort to their king. The world turned to chaos. How will she survive in this world full of enemies? Where is hope? Where is freedom? Where is salvation? The king, the dragon, and the masked man awaits ...
Come and join her as she unfolds history ...
And uncover the secrets within …
Even if everything is not what it seems …

"I can still clearly remember the day it all started.
The memory of it ... still so vivid.
With all my might I tried to forget ... I want to forget! ... but I just can't.
How did it become like this? What did we do to deserve this?"

The promised QnA section:: hope this answers all the questions...if not mention in the comments ...


About WDE::

1. What inspired you to write this book WDE? Is the idea derived from the Akatsuki No Yona?

Ans. Well I love reading books and comics about magic. Like the Legendary Master's Wife….or Mo Dao Zu Shi...they are pretty interesting. Whenever I read some new stuffs, I try to imagine and enact the scenes in my mind. Imagination and analysis leads to new plots. I try my best so that my lovely folks could not just read but also feel my story.

2. What is favourite genres of novel or the genres you prefer writing in?

Ans. They will be Romance, Fantasy and Mystery. 

3.When is Zhang XinYi gonna fall for Yu Long? And vice versa.

Ans. Actually none have fallen in love with each other. ZXY is kinda infatuated and thinks that he can get anything he wants. Pride issue i suppose! 

Yu Long might fall in love...but what will he do if he learns his parents died in the Qiying capital prison? Hmm...if I were he, I would love to keep ZXY as the enemy….and probably beg the author to change the book title...

4. What about Rahu and Yu Long?

Ans. Rahu and Yu Long might have a fling here and there, as you can see it will be rivalling the main lead couple's story...still will be fun..😈

5.Who and where are the other dragons?

Ans. The other dragons are Yong and Zu. Location of one is known that is timeless forest. The forth dragon is missing or as Maasa said untraceable. Rest will be revealed in upcoming chapters….

6.How did Taijing react to the annexation of Qinshen and Xianghua?

Ans. Taijing was kinda selfish and coward, when ZhaoShu started with its annexation and gave up their eldest princess to the harem of ZhaoShu emperor. I haven't started their story line yet . But the ruler of Taijing is currently the Provincial Head of Taijing province.

7.What happened to the all the Qinshen people after annexations?

Ans. They are still the citizens of Qinshen. But after the loss of their ruler , most of them submitted themselves to the authority while some went to rebel against the ZhaoShu emperor. Their story will be soon introduced….(spoiler)

8.Who killed Yu Rong and Lin Na, if not XinYi?

Ans. Do you guys want spoilers? Well, you know its not XinYi...its someone else...who wanted them gone...against XinYi's scheme to keep them alive to use them as bait Long to him...must be someone who is looking for death in the hands of our demon emperor...

9.Favourite pairing? 

Ans. They are Rahu and XinYi...its cute and subtle..I like it when they are still in the primary stage of affection ….like still  confused about what it is that is happening to them...let's hope it doesn't cause an issue for our main pair… i wish I could change the title...😢

10.How many chapters will this go for?

Ans. That is unplanned. I think at this rate of plot development...and there is a lot more to come...so roughly 50 more...don't want to cut down the tiny details and shorten the chapters as they make it more interesting….I suppose...

11.What are the story's arcs so far?

Ans. So far four I suppose…

Annexation of Qinshen

Search of the Kungu's scroll( Red Dragon)

Floating gardens incident

Annual selections of Knights

Upcoming( The timeless forest expedition)

12.Is Maasa a girl?

Ans. Lady. She hates being called a girl. She is too ruthless and unsophisticated for a Lady though...

13.Where did you get those strange names like Rahu, Maasa?

Ans. I borrowed these names from some Asian astrology book...😛

14.Why you don't follow traditional Chinese statements or way of addressing?

Ans. Time taking...I write using MS Word. I get auto suggestions for English words not Chinese Romanisations… Sorry...

15.If you wanted to recreate a character, which one would that be? And why?

Ans. Actually I want to make Yu Long more courageous not cowardly… But screw it...its okay.. We will do something about it soon...

16.Concept of cores is kinda confusing. Can you elaborate?

Ans. Cores concept...kinda simple..

The cores are allotted based on family lines or genes....The maximum strengths of a golden core bearer is highest, then the silver, then the bronze….that is the maximum strength… But not all are able to achieve the maximum strength in this world...like people ask why is Lin Na a bronze core bearer when she is so strong...she is stronger than most silver and golden core users as they are failed to achieve the cultivation level that she is in…

The distribution of golden core is found in the ZhaoShu because the origin of golden core started with the two legendary dragons who descended the Heavens to live as humans...they were the only the golden core bearers...soon generation and generation this core started spreading in most parts of the world…

Feng Bi was a golden core bearer...so is Yu Long...but not Yu He...

About the author:::

1. Are you racist? 

Ans. No..why would I be...😶

2.What are the other books you have written? 

Ans. And He stole my heart...its kinda about my love life ..pretty screwed up….😛

3.Can we know your age?

Ans...still in college...so guess

4.What are the genres that you prefer reading?

Ans. I like all except horror… I love imaging all that read… So horror will be kinda...hahah

5. Is Evelyn Park your real name?

Ans. Its my pen name….😃

Yu Long was born into the royalty. He was the second prince of Qinshen, a small kingdom in ancient China. He was a beloved son and a prominent cultivator. He was resolute when it came to serving his people and kingdom. 
What will happen when his small kingdom is in danger? To what extent will he go to save his loved ones and the innocent people? Especially when his trouble is at the door step and there is no place to hide.
Zhang Xinyi is the strongest yet the ruthless king of all times.  Mercy is not his call.. He gets whatever he wants, even if its by force. What ill happen when he crosses path with Yu Long?

"You wanna know something?"

"What?" He wanted to start conversation so I decided to play along. It was gonna be a long ride back to the house either way, so might as well try to make conversation.

"You always try to ignore problems, and your strategy is to start driving. So tell me how much do you love me Mira.?"

"Well, I know one thing for sure. I'd cross a desert and an Ocean to get away from you!" I grinned as I watched his expression change from cocky to mad.

"Why?" Self esteem drop from 10,000 to 0. "Well dear Husband sorry to be the one to tell you this but your kind of a pain in the ass, and besides I rather read a book peacefully than listen to your nagging."

"What? I do not nag, don't like to me Mrs Peru. I am one of the most funnest people to be around. Why would you waste your time crossing a desert and an ocean just to get away from me, your a girl you wouldn't do it." Since when did we start calling each other from each other's surnames. Besides if he really wants to try the whole 'Your a girl you can't do that' than I'll show him. 

When I say I will cross a desert and an Ocean to get away from the pain of his storm, I'm sure it'll be worth it.

"You really wanna try me Mr Peru. Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I can't do it. I am a very outgoing person crossing a desert and an ocean would be a piece of cake."

"You girls are so extra." Just then he changed in a snap as If I had done enough damage to his little virgin heart. "You know what just shut up and continue driving, if we get in a crash you might ruin my handsome face."

"But what about me husband, I have one of the most beautiful faces out there. Just look at me I'm just too beautiful to damage."

I continued to laugh as I teased him the entire ride home. And when we did get home the first thing he did was check the girls make sure there were no bruises or any signs of violence. He then asked them if the nanny had hit them which they both answered with "no". He would be a really great father, but a husband not so much.

I then went to the private library I have in my house which is stored with all my favorite books, and my favorite genre romance. I had fallen in love with romance books in the 4th grade, when I read my  first romance book "Macarons at Midnight." It was such a beautiful book that every single time I went to the library I would go to the romance section. 

So now that I am older I have a whole library of just romance books. I was looking for a book to read when I heard something drop behind me.

I turned to see and it was Kaden that sat there staring back at me. "What do you want, I'm not in the mood to talk right now. I want peace and quiet and I will find that in my books."

"Aww, but don't you wanna admire me right now."

"You know Kaden, the boy's in my books are better looking than you, so...try harder next time.!"

I sat down on the couch next to me as I had already picked out the book I wanted to read. Thirty minutes had past and yet Kaden remained there looking at me read. 

When I read I have a very serious face, so I think he found that amusing. The book I was reading was pretty thick so I was gonna be in here for at least an hour.

It was until I reached the middle of my book, when my stomach started growling. I guess my stomach is in the mood to eat. So I quickly ran to get a bookmark at my table. I put it in my book and left my book on my desk where I could easily find it.

I left the library and went into the kitchen, I had expected Kaden to follow me. But he seemed to have stayed in the library. What kind of business does he have in there?

Mira Gomez is a tough cookie, literally. Kaden Peru sees her as an open book. Speaking of books they both are in love with them. However being in an arranged marriage comes with consequences. Both being in the spotlight made it hard for them to hide their relationship. Mira’s lack in trust also affected the relationship. Being raped and abused is a huge part of Mira’s past, causing her to have a fear towards men. On the outside she’s fine, but on the inside she’s breaking piece by piece.

"No one's…no one has ever just sat down and talked with me like this before," she said then looked down. She nodded again as if confirming something within herself then made eye contact with Clyde. "Thank you. I'll end this tonight."  She stood. "Study session's over I guess. Just text me if you need anything else. You're a pretty cool guy, so I don't mind hanging out with you. "
She strolled out the door, her last words being, "see you in the morning."

[Quest completed. You have earned 20 EXP but also a bonus 30 EXP for moving Chika's heart.]
[Your relationship with Chika has changed from curious to friendly- associate.]
[Congratulations, you have reached level 3! Stats increased! You have learned the passive skill, Heart Protection!]

Clyde smiled, eager to get home to see his stats, but before he could do so, he'd have to return the book he found. He pulled it from his inventory. The title of it made him flinch. 

[You have found the book of Magic Line, Energy. Item value: mysterious. Opening this book will teach you the Magic attack: Energy ball. Warning, it will vanish after one use.]

Clyde's eyes widened. He had found a way to defend himself at last. At least in the case of a fist fight being impossible against certain enemies. Possible monsters like in the games. 
He opened the book. It shimmered, turned into golden sparkles that resembled the most amazing snowflakes, and then he knew everything. Just like that. 
He wanted to try this power out but restrained himself. No need to cause a stir. He smiled, feeling giddy. All his life, he wished he could shoot powers from his hands like a Dragon Ball Z character or a superhero. The knowledge to do so was now in his head. He'd practice as much as possible to level it up. The only problem now is to get out of Harumi's sights so that he wouldn't risk being spotted. 
He took the time to read over a few of his other books before tossing them back into his inventory. He made sure not to leave the book Chika took off his lap. Thinking of that moment made him chuckle. This world was insane. 

When he arrived at his apartment, he locked all the doors, showered, then got comfortable. It was tie to at last view his stats for the day.

If things continued to go this well, Clyde would get to a respectable level in no time. He could even skip school and set off to find the Viper…Or use the internet, send a calling card, and ambush it. 
He returned Harumi's goodnight text then laid back. What if there were more things for him to do besides killing the Viper? 
One step at a time, Clyde supposed. He'd overcome this trial. Get home. Forget this all.

--- Extra tags: Satire, Adult/Mature, Monster girl(Monster girl Encyclopedia kind), Fiction/Satire/comedy (I.E. Not to be taken seriously).

By the will of unknown deities, Clyde is swiped from Earth and tossed into an anime world. He’s the declared the Stone aka main character. One day, he must kill the Viper, the antagonist. Too bad things aren’t exactly as black and white as that. The Stone is something much more…
This world and its inhabitants are real. It’s another dimension with a lot to explore.

This is the story of a young man’s evolution from college boy of Earth to godhood and beyond. The challenges stand ahead of him:  demons, monster girls, crazy yanderes, even a girl with maxed charisma. He never thought he’d ever see a magical girl…

A story of comedy, action, and going from weak to completely unstoppable. He is the system disruptor…

In a world where tropes are present, anime girls falling in love so easily, and city-wide issues intertwining with the main mission, Clyde must level up power and his mentality, RPG-style. He can no longer be that earthling. He will learn… whether he likes it or not.

Someone who breaks systems…Feared by the gods…

I smile and allow myself to flow in the fun. At night, all the people of the capital light lanterns and display fireworks. It's a beautiful sight. The aromas of various foods fill the air. The stars in the sky shine brighter than ever. I think of XiaoLong again. His black hair glimmering in the moonlight. It's over. They lied to me, I betrayed them. I don't want anything to do with them.
"Daughter YingYue, do you like the festival?" my mother asks.
I smile, truly, "Yes! It's amazing!"
Even the maids and servants smile. I had a good night's sleep that night in a comfy bed, not too hard, not too soft.
 The next morning, the maids greet her in a good mood.
"Hello, I'm Ji and this is Zhe and Qu. We are your maids." 
Their pleasant pure smiles warm me as they dress me and tell me about the kingdom. I reward them with some snacks after they tell me about my position. 
First stop: the Royal Library. I walk in, swiftly and accidentally bump into someone. 
"Oh, sorry…" I say automatically.
I glance up. It's an old lady.
"I- my apology, your highness, I was too careless," the old woman apologizes, kowtowing.
I stammer, not used to being addressed as 'highness', "N-no, it's fine, please get up."
She gets up and I realize she's the librarian from a tag on her shirt.
"You are the librarian?"
"Yes, how may I help your highness."
I flinch again, from being called 'highness'.
Finally, I can't take it anymore, "Please just call me YingYue, librarian. I would like some books about the history and politics of Ri Kingdom."
"A-alright…" She leads the way inside and finds some books to start.
At first there was awkwardness between us, but as time flew by, we became really close.
"So Yue and Ri Kingdoms are in close relations?" I ask warily.
"Yes, Princess," the librarian Lu responds, " It is because our kingdoms are so close and only separated by a measly river that could easily be crossed."
I frown a bit. 
"Is there something wrong, Princess?"
"No, and I told you to call me YingYue, not princess."
"That I cannot do, it is already informal for me to call you princess."
I sigh. These people… I gaze around the library and pull some interesting books off the shelf. Ooooh! A romance novel! 
"Ah, princess, that is a true story, about the past of the kingdom," Lu tells me wisely, "It might not be to your taste."
"A romance novel is a romance novel!" I squeal in delight.
Lu looks as if she wants to tell me something, but doesn't.
"I'd like to check these books out," I continue. 
Lu writes them down and smiles.
"Thank you!" I say, respectfully.
"No, it is my job," Lu responds humbly.
I skip out of the library as a cool breeze hits my face. Ah! It feels so nice out today! I walk into the royal garden and lie down on a bench. I open my book to start reading. 
Crunch! 
"Who's there?" I immediately demand instinctively.
"Calm down it's me," It was Commander Yang, "I'm assigned as your personal guard until further announcement." 

-This story is clean, no mature content, there are PDAs (but not much) though, but nothing deeper than that. :) for our young readers out there (P.S Warning: there is violence)-
