The Reluctant Hero: Why Is Everyone After Me? - Chapter 8: Ch Beneath The Stone

Through a mysterious portal, Chen Jin arrived at this strange place – a post-apocalyptic world where civilization had been destroyed.

What happens when a Good Faithful Servant of Christ dies from being overworked?Thane did not expect that he, a Five Talent Christian, would be offered a reincarnation package, something that the Bible doesn't even mention once, and also carry a special perk of his choice!Thane’s choice? What else would a Bible-Believing, Grace Driven Christian chose but to have the ability to watch TV, any time, anywhere, and would still be not disrupted of his time with work, ministry, and possibly love.Yes. What else can one ask for than a TV that slows down time so you can binge watch through the busiest of days?It sounded perfect — until he realized he wasn't reincarnating into Earth again, but a magic-filled fantasy world of dragons, mages, knights, and goblins!Armed with an overpowered remote control in this Christian Isekai, Thane must struggle against evil kings, demon lords, and the pressures of getting a girlfriend since he was apparently celibate on his last life! But most importantly, this overworked Christian can now make up for all his toil on Earth and binge-watch the heavens out of his Celestial TV!Don't change the channel! Thane's adventure begins!“The pen maybe mightier than the sword, but can it compete with HD TV?”- Thane Wallaby. Probably.

The servant looked at the grieving princess. “Your Highness, the Regent Prince sent your scholar fiancé to the Western Butcher’s daughter!” 

The princess gritted her teeth, speaking to her servant that it matters not as she has other suitors in line. Many days later, much to her dismay, the servant ran in a hurry. “Your Highness, the Regent Prince expressed his intention of becoming your suitor! All other men in line were sold to Gou Lan Red District!”

The princess was distressed. She said to her servant it matters not. She’ll soon be married to Prince Fuma. Then the uneventful came. The servant once more ran to her, almost tripping in the process. “Your Highness, Prince Fuma was imprisoned at home! Meanwhile, there’s a red sedan chair waiting at your residence for your marriage! It was led by the Regent Prince!

The princess was stunned. For a day such as this to come, it seemed impossible. This nothing but a sad story of a female boss crossing back in time to hold the thick thighs of the big boss. But while raising him, she was eaten in the process.

Her childhood was forged in shadows, and she was sharpened into a weapon, trained to be a ghost, a killer—an instrument of vengeance. The target: a decorated general who brought down her family.But fate doesn't follow orders.Just as Lara was about to execute her long-planned mission, everything spiraled out of control. A military convoy intercepted her escape route—escorting none other than the general himself. And then came the moment that changed everything.A blinding crash. Screeching tires. Her body was thrown like a ragdoll, then darkness.She had a fleeting recollection of another world, another lifetime where kings ruled the land with an iron fist.But she woke up, and twelve long months had passed. She did not know where she was or who she was. She remembered nothing.They told her different names.A child with trembling hope whispered, “Mommy, your name is Moira Torres.”Her doctor insisted, “Your admission slip says Larissa Reyes.”A hardened general leaned close and commanded, “Remember who you are. Remember your mission.”Then another general—dangerously calm, incredibly familiar—looked at her as if she mattered and asked, “Can I call you Lara?”The name unlocked something buried deep in her soul.Lara Norse Kromwel.Daughter of General Odin Norse.Empress of the First Empire.But the man who watched her most closely dismissed it with cold certainty.“This is the 21st century,” he said. “What nonsense are you spouting? What Empress? You are my woman. You can only be mine!”
