With baked goods and coin as his new life goals, he turns to the competitive business of trading the random junk adventurers loot every day.Follow Balthazar as he does everything to find a baker... except leave his pond, because exploring the dangerous world out there is for suckers. Witness how adventurers just can't seem to stop dying around his home. And cheer for a crab who makes great new friends by simply buying them.Book 2 is out now, with new chapters every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, fresh off the bakery!What to expect from this story:- No harems, not unless they're a harem of gold coins.- Silliness, lots of it. The story doesn't take itself too seriously, so you shouldn't either.- The only kind of OP here is how “overpriced” the crab's deals are.- A system simple enough for a crab to use, but still conveniently complex when necessary, for some odd reason.- Proper realistic adventurers: they're not very bright, and they make very poor decisions.- Did I mention there will be pastries?

Elias “Grim” Kingsley, a nine-year-old orphan with a hardened heart and sharp tongue, dies alone from pneumonia in an overcrowded orphanage. Known for his perpetual scowl and biting remarks, he's labeled a “problem child” by caretakers and “damaged goods” by potential adopters. Years of rejection have built thick armor around his young heart.In death, he encounters the God of Balance who offers him a second chance at life in a different world—this time as Grim Van Ambrose, son of a noble house. Balance explains that every soul deserves to know love and connection, something Elias was cruelly denied in his first life.Promised the family and belonging he never experienced, Grim begins his new life only to suffer an immediate tragedy: his mother dies moments after his birth. This cruel twist of fate reinforces his belief that loss is inevitable, leaving him with a distant father and the mysterious voice of a “Guidance Assistant” in his head.As Grim grows into his new identity, he struggles with his dual nature—the emotional scars of his past life bleeding into his present one. His difficult personality and sharp tongue remain, now paired with noble privilege and expectations. Despite his outward brashness, he carries the deep wounds of his first life and the fresh loss that welcomed him into his second.What begins as one orphan's second chance evolves into an epic journey through a world of ancient beasts, elemental magic, and deadly political intrigue. As Grim uncovers the truth about the Ambrose Clan's fall from grace and the conspiracy that framed them for treason, he faces increasingly dangerous adversaries—both human and monstrous. His quest for revenge against those who destroyed his family's legacy will challenge him to master forbidden techniques, forge unexpected alliances, and ultimately decide whether to rebuild the Ambrose Clan as it was, or transform it into something entirely new.In a realm where power determines survival and ancient secrets lurk beneath noble facades, Grim must learn that sometimes the greatest battles aren't fought with swords, but with the choices that define who we truly are.

Faye Townsend went from Anchester's most beautiful socialite to Anchester's number one abandoned woman in just one day.On the morning of her scheduled abortion, Hunter Warren's lawyer delivered the divorce agreement.“Miss Townsend, Mr. Warren's intention is to sign this and you can save the declining Townsend Family. The condition is that you and he must sever all ties cleanly.”Faye signed her name without hesitation and smiled lightly, “Go back and tell your Mr. Warren, thank you for his generosity.”She loved him for eight years, and he despised her for eight years.Thus, her one-sided love affair finally came to an end.That day, headlines across the city announced Hunter Warren's grand wedding with his beloved Zenia Yates.The photograph of the two gazing deeply into each other's eyes was a stab in Faye's heart.She still remembered how Zenia once held her hand during their university days, asking, “Isla, is Hunter Warren's family really that powerful?”“Yes, very powerful.”Zenia smiled enviously, “Being engaged to a man like that, you must be over the moon.”It only took one night for Faye to go from Anchester's number one abandoned woman to its number one socialite.Rumors spread about Mr. Warren's ex-wife jumping into the bed of his archrival, Oliver Turner.Eight months later, she prematurely gave birth to a baby boy in a private hospital.After six years of studying abroad, she returned with her son.At the airport, she unexpectedly ran into her ex-husband. She passed by him with her child, ignoring him.Hunter squinted slightly, turning his head to watch.Only to hear the child, who looked about seventy percent similar to him as a child, disdainfully say in his childish voice, “Isla, so that's your ex-husband? Your taste was really terrible back then.”“Yes, I was blind back then. After all, who hasn't stepped in something unpleasant in the past? Stop nagging, your dad is waiting for us.”When they met again, he cornered her in the hospital hallway.“Regarding that child, don't you think you owe me an explanation?”She really liked that song lyric.We have to owe each other, otherwise, what is there to look back on?We have to owe each other, we must have lingering ties.Those who enjoy this story, please add it to your collection, kisses~New story recommendation:South Town's Five Young Masters, third releaseSweet Marriage, Mr. Quan Dominates His Wife http://novel.hongxiu.com/a/1315957/ Bookmarking for collection, collection, collection underway~South Town's Five Young Masters features Quan Nan Zhao, the most domineering and decisive, who remains single at thirty-two while his heart constantly thinks of a woman.On the day South Town University South Campus was established, he saw those long-missed eyes among the faculty, and also smelled the familiar scent on her…(This story is a sweet, romantic comedy, non-reconciling story, if you like it, bookmark it first~)
