'Each betrayal begins with trust' ~~~ ‘Endure a while’ was what her grandfather said. She endured the curses. She endured the pain. She endured the unfairness. She endured the behest.

She endured many things but what did she get in return?  Betrayal from her own people. ‘This cruel world is not for innocents.’ She had to learn it forcefully laying on the deathbed wishing to leave the world forever. But fate plays cruelly. Now she is back to the same world to stand strong and smile at the evil. --- Excerpt: Aarvi Evans typed a message shamelessly on her mobile, [I need a kiss.] Her lips tugged to a rare mischievous curve clicking on the send button. It wasn’t even fifteen minutes, her mobile went off. She walked out of the private room of the restaurant and answered the call, “Hel…” She was suddenly yanked to the opposite private room. Before she could absorb the situation, the door was shut, she was pinned to the wall and a pair of thin soft lips pressed on her forehead calming her nerves. ‘How naive!’ She hadn’t thought he would actually ignore his client just to give her a kiss. A kiss! Aaron Rivas would have called her naive if he could hear her thoughts. The next second, Aarvi’s petite face was showered with gentle pecks without leaving an inch unattended. Aaron paused and said, “Cupcake! you hadn’t mentioned where you needed the kiss.” He didn't let her react and locked her lips. --- This is an original story. Thank you ^_^ for giving it a try.

The System arrived without warning, on one of many lonely days Earth spent floating along the milky way. Then in a blinding flash, the world and its inhabitance were judged. Tom Murphy never asked to for his path, a fate that's discovered him. Thrown into a global qualification tournament broadcast across a seemingly infinite multiverse, he claws his way into Earth’s top ten finalists, only to be claimed by one of the most feared deities in existence. But being Chosen is not salvation. It is an unrepayable debt that grows with you. It is ownership. Returned to a fractured Earth being actively terraformed under System-imposed Tutorial conditions, Tom and his allies must build a faction from nothing but their own ambition, while monsters, rival elites, and divine politics close in from all sides. And when death becomes salvation, something else begins to surface. The multiverse is always watching. The gods are wagering, scheming, even meddling. And Tom is starting to remember things he was never meant to. If the System wants a new champion… It may yet again regret who it chose.

A novel where the protagonist is an absolute pushover, yet every women he meets seems to fall in love with him. He wins by sheer luck despite being strong himself, yet he spares those he defeated just for them to come back stronger than before. Arrogant nobles that are jealous of his strength and harem are everywhere, yet he humiliates them without suffering any political backlash. And I, Theodore Gray, lived in a world precisely based on such a novel as a mere extra that wasn't even mentioned once. Although I had no intention to interfere with the plotline since it would only mean suffering for me, I was already too entangled in it to back out now. === WARNING: I cannot stress this enough. If you don't like confusing stuff and MC killing innocents (adults and/or children) (not senselessly of course), then this novel is clearly not for you. This is my first time writing a novel so I'm just mainly doing it for fun. This novel is lightly inspired by 'The author's POV' and 'The novel's extra'. Discord: https://discord.gg/czvCjHuhKs
