The Duchess Wants To Retire

Sourgummy
Vagina Mole. "T-They call you the 'pauper Duchess'". "Hmmm." A slight smile curled at the corner of her red lips. "Not for long." ********** Aria Red is a depressed Librarian constantly dreaming of retirement. Her wish is finally granted in the form of a freak accident after being Isekai'd into another world. ZOOM! ZOOM! A shady divine being grants Aria's wish to retire by taking over the body of a doomed Duchess and granted a book absorbtion system. But what happens when you are suddenly pulled into an unfamiliar world with no guide but your wits? Reincarnated into the body of Lady Aria Noir as the Duchess of House Ravensdale, Aria inherits the original body's fragmented memories and a system ability. She learns of the Duchess's engagement to the cold Prince of Eldoria, Caspian Thorne. Aria quickly shatters her engagement to the prince, determined to live in peaceful retirement. She quickly learns that to do nothing, you must do everything first! With a cruel stepmother who embezzles and a father who suffers from a gambling addiction, House Ravensdale teeters on the edge of complete ruin. To fulfil her simple goal, Aria must first save Ravensdale or lose it all. [Enter the Book Absorption System: Once per day] Aria can fully absorb knowledge from any book of her choosing from her world. Knowledge turns into a precious resource, turning the pauper duchess into a force to be reckoned with through tool-forging, negotiation, resource organization and clever farming. The prince, furious at her audacity yet unable to stay away, is now inexplicably drawn to the Duchess’s newfound grit. Amidst crushing debts and sabotage, Aria must triumph. Not for power or revenge, but for a chance at a simple, carefree life.

In a world where summoners wield the power to call forth vampires, elves, angels, demons, and all humanoid creatures from across the realms, Nathan found himself unable to summon beings except from beasts.  However, those beasts are not ordinary beasts. They are divine beings who once stood at the same level, if not higher, than the legendary creatures the world ever knew.  Casting his gaze to the left, Nathan sees numerous summoners accompanied by the likes of demon kings, archangels, vampire progenitors, and other legendary beings. Turning to the right, a massive army of alien symbiotes is waiting to attack.  There was no fear in his eyes, because standing on his left is a majestic wolf who managed to kill a god, the legendary eight-headed serpent coils on his right, above him is the bird who is glowing like the sun, and behind him is a dragon that once gnawed the roots of the world tree.  “Let the war begin.”
