    Summary

    One moment, she's binge-reading her 132nd cultivation-romance transmigration webnovel. The next, she wakes up in a strange world full of swords, robes, handsome cold men, and people calling each other "Fellow Daoist."

    She has no idea what book she’s in. But based on years of reading cnovels, she decides

    “Survival depends on identifying the ML, staying near him, and avoiding cannon fodder behavior.”

    The only problem?

    This is Mo Dao Zu Shi.

    And her attempts to apply romance tropes in a grim cultivation world filled with trauma, war, and demonic resurrection… lead to utter disaster.

    Summary

    Something both Shane and Ilya understood about hockey, that many other players didn’t, was that what separated good players from the greats was the ability and willingness to plan and engage in psychological warfare.

    Shane and Ilya went about it in different ways but that didn’t change the fundamental truth: to be the best hockey player was to be ruthless.

    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    ---

    AKA: Grace starves for more than just food on the journey to Erid.

    This is what happens when you put two snarky aliens in a small, enclosed space for that long.
