Million Times Talent - Chapter 25: Test

A conversation with a handsome stranger leaves Ariane chained in a cellar with a strange affliction. She soon discovers that the darkness of the nineteenth century’s Deep South hides many dangers. Mages, wolf shifters and the humans who hunt them play a risky game where to stumble is to die, all under the amused gaze of the apex predators of the supernatural world: vampires.

It is never healthy to attract the gaze of the aristocracy of the night. It takes much to survive in this merciless world, but Ariane will not let that deter her. The southern belle has a bite, and she is willing to learn and to grow in this hostile new world. She will use whatever means necessary to reclaim her freedom, be it guile, charm, or those intriguing new instincts that make blood so delectable.

This is a story of vampires as I believe they should be, with their strengths and weaknesses, with their remnants of humanity and the beast inside. Updates every Friday. Mind the tags.

- Description from Qidian

A world from another dimension suddenly appeared in the Milky Way galaxy and collided with the earth. A spatial collapse occurred, which allowed the monsters crossing over from the other side to invade various countries, and the earth fell into great calamity.

The military was powerless against the invasion because modern weapons didn't work against monsters from another world. Under the desperate situation, a god-like figure appeared and bestowed blessings upon the humans to awaken their power. From then on, the earth regained its hope, and these extraordinary people were called Realizers.

Tenku Okuihara is a five-year-old boy who dreams of becoming a Realizer to protect the world and his family. But an incident changed his life goal from a hero to a grim reaper.

Yang Tian, a Legendary Beast Tamer who tamed Legendary Monsters such as the Six-Wing Purple Gold Lion, the Undead Lich, and the Thousand Feet Ghost Vine has returned to three days before the Post-Apocalyptic Era begins.
