Monsters had long since spread beyond the ocean, silently infiltrating people's lives, living among them, and preparing to take their place. When the monsters trembled before Shi Xun, he sighed.

Advance Release Title: "After Mistaking Someone for a God" [Western Fantasy] Blurb: The gods are widely worshipped across the continent of Ste. Nearly everyone there is a believer, with the giants as the sole exception. No god would accept the giants, leaving them at the very bottom of society, oppressed by every race. Everything changed on this day. The giants actually managed to summon a god, and from then on, they had a faith of their own! * Qiu Ziyu, raised to the throne by the giants, had no idea what to do. He was clearly just a little nine-tailed fox who had accidentally transmigrated to another world! But when he saw the giants' hard-earned produce all being stolen, and how they couldn't even afford a roof over their heads, Qiu Ziyu sharpened his claws. A god? If they said he was a god, then he had to lead them out of the mire they were in! The days when the giants were oppressed by every race were over. The City of Giants would surely become the most prosperous place on the continent of Ste!
