Some curiosities about belugas
In 1776, a German zoologist named Peter Simon Pallas found the beluga during his explorations in Russia. "Beloye" is the Russian word for "white", which is where the species name comes from. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), there are approximately 136,000 belugas living in the Arctic seas. The IUCN also includes this species on its list of threatened animals.
Beluga whales live in the cold Arctic seas. They can handle temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius. Sometimes, they go to warmer waters during summer or swim in rivers. Belugas can dive deep up to a kilometer and stay underwater for over 25 minutes without breathing.
Small bayenas are fascinating creatures. They can grow up to 4.8 meters long and weigh around 1.4 tons. They mostly eat small fish and crustaceans, and can live for nearly 50 years. These animals are social beings that move around in groups led by a dominant male of approximately 10 members. Interestingly, they can create group hunting strategies, which makes them even more intriguing!
Whales can plan and execute attacks because they are smart and communicate well. They have advanced brains and talk to each other to create intricate strategies.

But when fighting for his life quickly becomes his routine, will he be able to muster up the strength to break that mold? Especially when the fate of humanity rests on his shoulders? *** The Vokkrus, a warrior alien species, go to Earth with the intention to 'rescue' the human species from their dying planet. The catch is that they believe humans to be nonsentient and incapable of intelligent thought. They are treated as nothing more than the common animal. They are a commodity, something to fawn over and ogle at. Humanity's strength and stamina are nearly unrivaled on this new planet, and when Viktor is taken to an alien fighting ring, he quickly dominates the competition. Mercy has no place in the arena. When Viktor is adopted by the leader of the Vokkrus, an intimidating alien whose intentions are unclear, he is forced to shed his wariness and convince the alien king to save humanity from his accidental oppression. *** Please don't advertise other stories in the comments!

In a distant realm where magic thrives, ferocious beasts shake mountains and rivers with their mighty roars, and individuals wield superhuman strength capable of reshaping their surroundings. It is a magical world where the strong rules. But rampant corruption and chaos exist, where slavery, rape, murder, and discrimination against the weak were all but common. The magically superior people trample over the lesser unfortunate folks, using them as stepping stones and disposable assets. All hope for these downtrodden souls seems lost, but the wheels of fate have other plans for them. In a faraway ocean, one that is filled with demons and sea monsters, a great technological civilization suddenly appeared, one that came from a world that is only filled with chaos and destruction. This civilization became the heaven for people seeking a stable and peaceful life. The Earth rose and seas parted ways, and the environment had totally changed for its adaptability. Unfortunately, the inhabitants of this great technological civilization are all but manaless, arriving in a world where they are seen as inferior and as slaves. How will they react of finding themselves in a world where people can split mountains or bend the fabric of space, and where beings exist that even conventional weapons cannot defeat? How will they survive against deadly monsters, magical beasts, and superhumans that could threaten entire nations? And how will the other powers that exist in this world react to a powerful, advanced nation filled with a race they deem inferior? This is the story of one of the most powerful empires on Earth, and how it broke the balance of power and rose to the top.
