Humanity drifts through space, guarded by dragons it believes it has mastered.
When a recurring dream resurfaces across minds long silenced or broken, an ancient truth begins to stir.
Somewhere beyond human control, something that has slept for centuries is still dreaming... and waiting.

Transmigrated as the Pet Rabbit of a Sickly Post-Apocalyptic Villain
Transmigrated as the Pet Rabbit of a Sickly Post-Apocalyptic Villain Author: Sweet Bamboo (甜竹) [This story is for offline reading purposes only.] Yin Yiliu transmigrated into a book. She became a mutant rabbit in the apocalypse, gifted with two portable spatial dimensions. The master raising her is none other than Jin Yang, the ultimate villain boss who destroys the world in the later stages. Her mission is to help the villain stage a comeback and avoid a tragic death. At this time, Jin Yang's legs are disabled and he is completely devoid of vitality, trapped in an abandoned villa due to the apocalypse. The little rabbit takes on the responsibility of providing for him. Amidst global biological evolution and mutations, she works hard to protect her owner and supply him with food. The little rabbit transforms into a bun-faced toddler with rabbit ears, pointing milkily at the supernatural male and female leads, "You are not allowed to hurt him!" However, she never expected that she would be the one held in the palm of a hand and pampered to the extreme. From feeding her to managing her daily life, Jin Yang, who has always been aloof and taciturn, unexpectedly ends up raising a "cub" in the doomsday, acting as an all-around "milk dad" and leaving her absolutely no room to show off her skills. Looking at the villain boss holding her in his arms and tearing apart a mutant beast with one hand, Yin Yiliu thinks: What happened to the frail, sickly villain we agreed on? (The male lead's legs gradually recover in the early stages of the apocalypse.) ... In a man-made car accident, Jin Yang's legs were crippled by his enemies. Falling from a favored son of heaven into the mud, when the apocalypse struck, someone like him was deemed unworthy of living. In a haze, he saw a snow-white rabbit using its little paws to press against his lips again and again, feeding him fresh morning dew. For a moment, he felt that life was truly worth living.Complete

Dad's Restaurant In Another World 3
Part 1 COMPLETED Part 2 COMPLETED Part 3 On Going Please support me on Patreon~~~ Thank you!!! ____ In the Chaos City of Nolan Continent, there's a peculiar restaurant. Here, elves have to share tables with dwarves, orcs are strictly forbidden from making noise, dragons can only sit around the small square in front of the restaurant, and demons even need to bring their own special stools... Yet, despite these bizarre rules, a long line forms outside the restaurant every day. Elves eat skewers without regard for etiquette, dragons huddle around a hotpot with ladles in hand, and demons munch on adorable dumplings... "The food here is unlike anything else on the continent! This owner is a genius!" one customer commented, then secretly glanced towards the entrance: "And, whatever you do, don't even think about kidnapping the owner or trying to dine and dash, or you'll die a horrible death." "Eat and pay, or I'll kill you all." a cute little girl said in a sweet, childish voice, her gaze falling on a nearby dragon, causing the five or six meter tall dragon to shiver. _____ *This novel belongs to the author Qing Yu Jiang Hu (轻语江湖).

Stray Humans
It's been almost a hundred years since Earth's civilizations fell, leaving only ruins and memories. Long before the collapse, they began taking humans, but now, everyone knows who they are and they fear them. The few who manage to return from their captivity tell stories of how these creatures treat humans like animals or children, tending to them like pets or slaves. Most survivors live in hidden cities, avoiding the ancient ruined cities at all costs. But not Jace and his crew. As a group of Stray Humans, they've made the decaying cities their home, roaming the forgotten streets, never staying in one place for long, and bringing all their skills to the table. They are a family, working together to make sure those things, Aliens, never take another human as long as they are near. When the aliens of A.C.R. (Animal Care and Rescue) find a new group of humans wandering the ruins of a large city, they think it will be an easy capture. But they soon learn that these particular humans have more willpower than most. They dodge every trap, disappear around every bend, and even manage to take some of the already captured humans with them. The aliens pity these "little creatures"-they just don't want to leave their home, but Earth is falling apart at the seams, and they are determined to take the stubborn little humans to the safety of one of the mother planets. No matter the cost. Warning - This story may have -Self harm -Rape -Abuse -Suicidal thoughts and actions -Violence and gore -Uncomfortable scenes (If this isn't your first alien pet book, you know what I'm talking about)Complete
