Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night

Tang Suri
In the Federal Empire, any woman who had reached twenty years of age must get married, or be randomly assigned a husband by the System. Thus, on her wedding day, the eve of her 20th birthday, Valerie Sullivan waited anxiously for her betrothed, Isaac Holt, to show up—only to find out that he was not coming after all! Trapped in this desperate situation, she grabbed the first handsome stranger she bumped into and got him to be her stand-in groom. It did not hurt that this mysterious Jonny was just her type—young and innocent-looking, with furry ears and a large fluffy tail. So, what if he seemed a little lost and confused? The wedding went on as planned, and Valerie was saved from public humiliation but only for the moment. After all, her marriage to Isaac was supposed to solidify the business partnership between the Sullivans and the Holts. In addition, her sister, Madeline, did not seem too happy that things turned out well for Valerie. Worst of all, Valerie found out that Jonny was an important, influential figure—Jonathan Gunn—the first commander of the Empire and uncle to the current monarch! Who had Valerie actually married—the sensitive, adorable Jonny, or the formidable, impassive Jonathan? Would this last-second pairing end in true love or divorce?

Apocalypse Online: Starting with an SSS-level Gluttony Talent

In humanity’s final war against the Demon Lord, the strongest heroes fell—not by the enemy’s hand, but by their own, twisted into madness by a cruel illusion. Betrayal. Bloodshed. Despair… and then, silence. Only one person remained: Riley—the weakest warrior of them all. Powerless. Ignored. Forgotten. But he saw through the Demon Lord’s deception. The tyrant was on the brink of death—so weak even a fly could’ve finished him off. And Riley did just that, drawing every last ounce of strength to bite off the demon’s head. Victory? Not quite. A final, desperate strike from the Demon Lord pierced him from behind, killing him instantly. But fate wasn’t done with him yet. Riley awoke ten years in the past—when the online game [Apocalypse] was launched. Before demons descended. Before monsters overran the world. And this time, he wasn’t starting from nothing. He had a decade of experience—and a second chance. Even more shocking, he didn’t awaken his old D-rank Strength Boost talent. This time, he received something far more terrifying: an SSS-level Gluttony talent! He could now devour anything—monsters, items, talents, even traits—and gain their power. Ding! [You have devoured: Iron Fang Wolf] [Acquired: +4 Strength, +2 Agility, Skill: Bite (F-rank)] [You have devoured: Goblin Shaman Acquired: +8 Intelligence, Skill: Mana Bolt (E-rank), Talent: Minor Spellcasting Efficiency] [You have devoured: Flaming Salamander Drake] [Acquired: +22 Endurance, Trait: Dragon’s Resilience, Skill: Flame Breath (C-rank)] Now, there was no demon, no god, no monster who would stand in his way. He would devour everything—and save the world. But the power of Gluttony was a double edged sword, and if he wasn’t careful… he could be the one getting consumed.
