Tranquility however, is the last thing that fate has in store for him. Caught up in a violent storm Jake finds himself a castaway in another world where social classes are set in stone and powerful dragon lords use their riders to enforce their will. Out of the frying pan into the fire, Jake finds himself in the center of a whole new storm as he becomes the guardian of newly born twin dragons. Holing up in the wilds he vows to protect his new charges but by riding them, he has broken an old taboo, a privilege that the high nobles of this world jealously guard and a situation that Jake cannot stand.

Y/N Is just a normal 16 year old boy from Karakura Town.... But not all is as it seems. The blood running through your veins has a great amount of power in it, and with that power comes responsibility, and also tragedy.... Gunna put this here to stop this from continuing. I'm fine with constructive criticism, but please, no straight up hateful comments.

True love's first kiss has never been so complicated nor had such high stakes. The Seven most powerful Gods of this wicked world somehow managed to piss off a spectating trickster god trapped there. His fury eventually boiled over and he razed the world with his power. They pleaded for mercy and gambled everything on a game, a very strange game. They would turn back time and choose 7 virtuous maidens (As best they could) these 7 Virgin "Maidens"(villainesses) would then have to win the heart of one Gentleman selected by the Trickster God(the former spectator) and share true love's first kiss in order to prevent the end of the world(Pissing off the spectator god again). With Everything on the line, Marion Cliffgard must put his faith in the shadiest (Probably Evil) Trickster in this otherworld he has been transported to. He must find a way to save his family one by one through sickness and in health. And somehow overcome his pre-ordained tragic fate at the hands of those Villainesses who are now trying to romance him. In a world without heroes Marion and his Patron God: Cavalier Corsair, will have a long list of Karma to deal out on the world and the villains in it. Not by being the heroes but by being better villains. Airships, Dragons, magic, magic mushrooms, love, tension, tragedy, Karmic justice, and comedic revelry. This is one high stakes fantasy game show you won't want to miss an episode of.

Painting of the Nine Immortals summary: Untolerated by heaven, a boy was restricted by the most powerful spell.

My Notes: Just so you guys know, I did not write this novel. I purely love and adore this book for its vast descriptions to its knowledge of the things I'm interested in reading. I wanted to share and let others enjoy and maybe even begin their journey in these types of books. Please enjoy and write good feedback, I'll be sure to send it to the author. :3 [For the last few months, I'm terribly sorry that I haven't been posting. Turns out, I got a little sick and had to stay in the hospital for a while. I'm better now, so I shall continue with these chapters. They won't be daily, though I do apologize. So I hope you can still continue with reading this amazing novel that I, myself, enjoy] Just to say too, if anyone of you guys has a novel like this one, I would greatly appreciate it if you shared it with me, I'm dying to read any good ones, I personally like cultivating, weak to strong, smart protagonist, no romance or love, and it either can be a male lead, but if it's a female lead then there can be romance. Thanks for waiting so long for me, I love you all.

Two hundred and fifty years after the fall of Galbatorix, Alagaesia is a very different place. Trading routes have been opened up all through the world with the country being the center of it all. Ilirea has become a thriving city and has grown immensely, with large businesses bustling, and tens of thousands of citizens living their daily lives. With the dragon riders thriving with the country nothing seems wrong. But with a large city comes a dark underground, and with rumours spreading the streets of a powerful new weapon not even the elves can compete with, the dragon riders find themselves losing what little control they have over the criminals hiding in the shadows. Ragin, professional thief and assassin, has been tasked with an impossible mission. One that has never been achieved before. Stealing a dragon egg. But there is a surprise at the end of this mission, one that no one could foresee. (Disclaimer, I do not own the inheritance series or the characters that appear in it. All rights go to Christopher Poalini who created these amazing books.) (Disclaimer: I do not own the cover picture, all rights to the original designer. All thanks to @AdolphSelrah for making the cover.)
