Rafael Sobieski, a cool and aloof Polish-Italian teenager, transfers to Shiratorizawa Academy, a prestigious Japanese volleyball school. Known for his exceptional anticipation and meticulous defense, he stands out due to his pronounced obsession with cleanliness and order.
The second volume is a bit serious at the beginning, but becomes more lighthearted and cheerful later on.
(Also, Karasuno and Otokoma are rarely mentioned. There are many stories about Karasuno and Otokoma. If you don’t like reading my type of books, you can read other books. Please don’t criticize the characters or the author.)
In Shiratorizawa, where the ideal of "absolute strength" is pursued, Rafael must adapt to the powerful spikes of top-tier attacker Ushijima Wakatoshi, understand the unconventional play of teammate Tendo Kaku, and grow alongside the passionate and impulsive Goshiki Kou. On his journey from the prefectural qualifiers to the national competition, he gradually learns to strike a balance between asserting his individuality and integrating into the team.
This is a growth story about a talented player who finds his place in a strong Japanese volleyball school, builds the art of defense with rationality and order, and pursues the top together with teammates with different personalities.

On the eve of the war, a Kuomintang agent codenamed Ghost Fox infiltrated the bustling city of Shanghai to form an assassination squad and punish traitors and scoundrels.
During the occupation, he infiltrated the Special Higher Police, using his noble status to steal intelligence, rob gold, and blow up armories.

Jia Yu, the eldest son of the Jia family in Jinling!
But after knowing the subsequent plot, he can be very sure that the current Jia family is not a big ship that can bring him wealth and glory, but a broken ship that may sink at any time.
It won’t be long before the entire Jia family will be implicated by the Ning and Rong mansions and end up with their property confiscated and their clan exterminated.
What Jia Yu needs to do is not only to completely draw a line between himself and the Ning and Rong mansions, but also to avoid the risk of having his property confiscated.
He also had to stand above the court, hold power in the army, and tell everyone that the Jinling Jia family was the orthodox Jia family, and that the Ning and Rong mansions in the capital were just side branches that had been kicked out of the family tree.

On the one and only occasion that the pariahs of the Wei Kingdom journeyed to the upper realm, undergoing the Mirror of Appraisal, a breathtakingly beautiful phoenix, legendary since the creation of the universe, appeared within the mirror. Everyone cheered for the Third Young Lady of the Wei Prime Minister's Mansion. I, a plain-looking person, stared at my hands in bewilderment. If I wasn't mistaken, the moment the mirror passed over me, the phoenix in the mirror performed the same movement as mine...
Reporter: "Mr. Daidouji, many people say your policy platform is too radical. What's your opinion?" Daidouji Sousuke: "The more they oppose me, the more it proves I'm right."

College student Lin Ke was happily reborn.
The result was that he was reincarnated and sent to a mansion when he was still in his infancy.
When he discovered that the owner of the mansion was called Lin Yanyuan and that the hostess Jia Min had a bulging belly, he knew that he had made the right decision to travel through time.
From then on, the story of the Red Mansion is completely different.
When he was studying state governance strategies in his study, Daiyu was looking at him sideways while he worked hard.
The water chestnut cake sent by the Xue family was very delicious, and Xiao Xichun handed him a piece from time to time.
And in his sleeve pocket, he always kept the dragon-patterned jade pendant that would reveal his identity.
Shi Xiangyun insisted on comparing the golden unicorn to his jade hairpin, and Tanchun insisted on asking him to comment on "Xiaoxiang Chrysanthemum Shadow vs Hengwu Autumn Color" when she set up a poetry club. Whenever this happened, Yingchun would always smile and watch how he would respond.
Until that day, Daiyu blocked him in Xiaoxiang Pavilion and said, "How dare you coax Bao-ya-tou and lie to Sister Yun? Is it because of this imperial edict about returning to the heavenly family?"
Many years later, Daiyu looked at the magnificent phoenix robe she was wearing and whispered, "When you said you wanted me to be the most honorable and happy person in the world...it wasn't just drunken talk."
The young emperor grasped her delicately scented wrist tightly. "If not, why would the inscription on the Xiaoxiang Pavilion read 'A Phoenix Arrives'?"
The young girl, who was of rare talent and beauty, slightly frowned and opened her red lips.
"So...you brought all the sisters into the palace?"
Dragons have three... no, dragons have four heads! I am a descendant of the [Lord of the Star Deep], the mortal incarnation of the [Shepherd of the Sun], son of Aerion Targaryen of House Targaryen and Valerian of House Velaryon, lord of Dragonstone, younger brother of Aegon the Conqueror, and beloved of House Targaryen. I am the slayer of [corruption], the enemy of [fallen], the walker of [fire song], the harpist of [the song of men]. I am the [herder of dragons], the [priest of dragons], the [lord of dragons], the [rider of the sun]. Those who come after me, remember my name: Rhaegon Targaryen. So it was in the scribbled words. He is my brother, my arm, my heart, my shield, my sword, my sun. So it was in the neat, majestic words, followed by the beautiful handwriting: He is our brother, our dearest one. My beloved. So it was in the sharp words. He is a cruel executioner, a sinister black wizard, an enemy of the church, a heretic, a destroyer of nations, a villain, a bloodthirsty man, a heartless man, a ruthless man, a vulture deserving of the gallows, a barbarian, a devil despised by the Seven Gods... (some curse words omitted below) The secret tome says so. Prequel to the House of Dragons, the story of the Bloody Century - The War of Conquest - The War of the Church

“This world is already interesting enough, but I think it can be even more interesting!” Zhou Ming said.
So...
“The Wood Daoist is dead, and you picked that Zhang Zhenren! From now on, call me Gin!”
“Have you heard of the legend of the Seven Swords?”
“Today, I’m taking her away. Let’s see who dares to stop me?!”
“I am Monk Fahai, returning from the Great Western Thunder Temple. Everyone, are you willing to listen to my teachings?”
At first, Zhou Ming just wanted to have some fun, but later he realized he was speeding down the path of becoming the mastermind behind the scenes.
