Steel and Sorrow: Rise of the Mercenary king - Chapter 587: A new place(1)

I woke up naked and all alone in a summoning circle, the only clue to my past is a demon summoning book and the hazy memories of a world very different from the one I find myself in now. I should probably be more concerned with the changes that have befallen me but I can't help but be excited to explore this new world with the new lovers I've found. After all, I'm apparently the Origin of Succubi, my actions will shape my new race in this world and all I know for sure is that I'm horny as hell.I update twice a week on Sundays and Wednesdays!Note: This novel contains a rape scene early on in chapter 8, this is not a frequent occurrence and it is not glorified or treated lightly. This is an event that affects the protagonist though so there are occasional references and allusions to the event throughout the series. The novel is loosely a genderbender but the Trans tag is for a character other than the protagonist.The series primarily features anthropomorphic characters including the protagonist which may be a turn off to some readers. The references to things like snouts and muzzles happen relatively rarely though, so you may be able to picture the characters as monster girls instead.

Chen Luo’s transmigration story starts at a mourning hall.

This is a world where reading can help you obtain enormous powers.

Reading Confucian classics trains you to the path of righteousness

Studying Taoist doctrines will help you grasp the source of everything and the ultimate principle underlying reality.

Understanding Buddhist Scriptures will make you comprehend the essence of rebirth and karma.

But contrary to what is expected, why does Chen Luo’s cheat only give him books for leisure reading!

….

What? 《Strange Tales from A Chinese Studio》is now being treated as the bible of the Monster Country?

What? 《The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils》opened the world of martial arts?

What? 《The Plum in the Golden Vase》….

Don’t panic, don’t panic, these are all small details!

This scholar, have you ever heard of the book 《Tales of the Three Kingdom》 where gallant generals and cunning strategists are a dime a dozen?

That Taoist priest over there, ever read 《Investiture of the Gods》? You people from the Taoist sect are outdated!

Hey, please halt high priest, I have a copy of 《Journey to the West》 here, are you interested?
