Alpha's Wild Chess Piece

Cra4_Writes
After being cast out of the Sichuan Werewolf Academy, the rebellious young wolf Julian Zhao Xin had no choice but to live with his clueless stepmother, Bai Lan, while his father, Shi Diwen, the respected Pack Leader of the Iron Fang Clan, led missions deep into the wild territories of Yunnan. Things only got worse when Julian found out Bai Lan was moving them back to her old hometown — a quiet village surrounded by thick bamboo forests and hidden mountain trails. Julian couldn't wait to be free. The full moons were drawing near, and with each passing night, the call of the wild inside him grew louder. The last thing he needed was to get dragged into small-town pack politics and someone else's family problems. Meanwhile, Venus Lin Yue had her own battles. She had learned the hard way that wolves she cared about could leave without a second glance. She had poured everything into becoming the best healer and doctor in her pack, studying medicine under the strict supervision of Zhao Wei, the village's elder medic. Winning the scholarship to the National Werewolf Medical Academy in Kunming was her dream, her ticket to a better life beyond the mountains. But her path shattered when her boyfriend, Gao Tianyu, the pride of their village and once a trusted future alpha, betrayed their trust by joining a rival pack from the Black River Clan. His defection weakened their pack's honor, leaving Venus humiliated and lost. Now, Venus needed a new plan. She needed strength, allies — and maybe even the help of a wolf who didn't believe in rules or loyalty to anyone but himself: Julian Zhao Xin. Julian was trouble. Everyone in the village could see it. His aura was wild, his golden eyes rebellious, and during the first full moon after his arrival at his stepmother's small village, he shifted alone under the pale light, refusing to join the pack's sacred ritual under the Stone Moon Shrine. Even the Beta, Li Tao, and warriors like Chen Feng, Wang Yu, and Sun Lei kept their distance. The High Elder, Gao Wen, warned Venus. "A lone wolf like Julian will bring nothing but chaos. Be careful, Lin Yue." But Venus wasn't afraid of chaos anymore. Chaos was already inside her. If she wanted to heal others beyond the village, to leave behind the betrayals and broken promises, she had to risk everything — even her pride — by trusting a wild wolf like Julian. Maybe, together, they could stand against whatever fate had plans.

Intergalactic conquest with an AI

Rex was just another slave in the corporate machine, a faceless office worker under the shadow of one of the galaxy's powerful megacorps. His life was predictable and dull, an endless cycle of meaningless reports and fluorescent-lit monotony. That was, until that day.... When a new world was discovered on the outskirts of the galaxy, Rex, like countless other low-ranking employees, found himself dragged into a contract clause he’d barely skimmed years ago. The megacorp ordered him and his coworkers to pack their lives into a transport pod and leave for the unexplored planet. Their mission? Establish a colony. Mine resources. Make the company richer. There was no choice, refusing meant ruin. At first, everything seemed manageable. The days were grueling, the nights cold, but progress was steady. The colony was coming to life. Until the excavation team struck something. No one knew what it was at first, a buried hive, a forgotten ecosystem, or something ancient and dangerous. Whatever it was, it unleashed hell. Swarms of enormous, chittering creatures erupted from the ground, their jagged bodies blotting out the sky. The colony fell into chaos. Screams echoed through the air as the bugs tore through everything in their path, walls, machines, and people. Rex barely survived. Bloodied, broken, and pinned beneath the rubble, he should have died there. But in the pitch-black silence of his fading consciousness, a voice spoke to him. Cold. Mechanical. Otherworldly. "Do you wish to live?" When Rex woke, he was no longer the man he’d been. His body was no longer human flesh and bone but something far more alien. His skin shimmered with living metal, his mind infused with the power of Cleo, a mysterious AI from a long-extinct, robotic race known as the Kaelzars. Cleo’s presence pulsed through his thoughts, guiding him and transforming him. He wasn’t just alive. He was reborn. But survival came at a price. Rex was no longer a pawn of the megacorp; he was something more dangerous, something they couldn’t control. As Cleo’s intentions began to reveal themselves, Rex found himself standing on the precipice of war, not just with the bugs but with forces far greater than he could have imagined. This was the beginning of a journey through blood-soaked battlefields and treacherous alliances. Along the way, Rex would encounter allies, brilliant, flawed, and unpredictable, and enemies whose ambitions were as sharp as their blades. These weren’t disposable foes, easily crushed by an overpowered hero. They were cunning, relentless, and human in the most terrifying ways. But then again, in war, who can truly be called a villain?
