Resumen

There is a girl I love, beyond measure, her name whispered in my every prayer. I sacrificed everything for her, and now I depart, my final act dedicated to her. In a realm beyond this life, if our souls should meet once more I pray earnestly for one thing—may the Divine decree that we never again walk the same path. Then why? “Excuse me? If you're done, can I use the tap?” Why did our path across again? If our fate was predetermined, why had I been granted this second chance? Why!? Why was I transported back to the past!?

Chapter 1Chapter 1 : Love is painful

There is a girl I love, beyond measure, her name whispered in my every prayer. Was my love a mistake, or was she though? I sacrificed my world to enter hers, yet even the devil would weep at the depth of my efforts but she.. never. Despite knocking until my hands bled crimson, she remained unmoved, cold and indifferent as stone. A decade passed, then two—how long did I wait? Her heart, like stone, refused to yield to my love. I can only hope that someday, somewhere, she encounters someone who can thaw the icy fortress around her heart, for I know it can never be me. It was never meant to be me.

*Splash*

A stone dropped into the depths of the ocean, a silent echo of my turmoil. Once afraid of heights, now perched atop the hills, a sense of peace washes over me. Death holds no fear, all thanks to her. I would wish for death's embrace than a life devoid of her presence. For the first time, my heart whispered a desire beyond her—my own demise. Grateful for the strength she unwittingly instilled in me to face death, I offer thanks for all. Eyes shut, I capture the memory of her face one final time before taking the leap from the hill's edge.

As the frigid wind caressed my body, I gazed upon the scene with open eyes. Why now? Why appear at this moment? A pang of anguish pierced through me, yet a smile graced my lips as I beheld her presence. There she stood at the hill's summit, where I had just been moments before. Her gaze remained unchanged, as cold and indifferent as the day we first met… maybe a little bit more colder. I sacrificed everything for you, and now I depart, my final act dedicated to you.

*Splash*

In a realm beyond this life, if our souls should meet once more I pray earnestly for one thing—may the Divine decree that we never again walk the same path. The chill waters no longer sting; perhaps the ice that once gripped my heart renders me numb to their touch. Her image blurs as I sink deeper and deeper, yet strangely clearer than ever before.

*Splash*

Startled by the cold water, I sputtered and coughed, confusion clouding my thoughts. Who had rescued me? How was I still breathing? Amid a whirlwind of questions, a voice pierced the haze.

"Are you awake, queen? Or still lost in a dream?"

A flood of disbelief washed over me. "Mom..?"

The response was sharp. "Awake at ten o'clock and you still have the nerve to call me mom! Mom has passed on! You're still in bed. Where's the broom?" Her anger was palpable, standing before me was my young mom. Overcome with emotion, I reached out and embraced her. "Mom... I've missed you so much. Mom, I missed you a lot.. Mom, I'm sorry for leaving you alone in this house. You were always right... I've been foolish, easily swayed by others' words."

"Mom.. I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry.. I missed you terribly," I whispered as I embraced my mother, her presence a balm to my soul. Taken aback by the sudden outpouring of emotion, she stood frozen before eventually wrapping her arms around me.

"Zeya, what's wrong?" Her voice softened, her touch soothing as she comforted me. Silently, I shook my head and held onto her tightly. "Mom.. I'll never leave you again.. I'll always be by your side."

Recollections flooded my mind of the day I had revealed my decision to move to another city to be with the person I loved. Despite her heartbreak and devastation, my mother had stood by me. She warned me, she scolded me but she let me go for my happiness.

"What did you say?" My mother's voice cut through the room, prompting tears to stream down my cheeks as I clung to her. In her embrace, I felt a warmth, a sensation which I thought I had lost for forever.

"Mom, I'll never leave you again.. I'll spend my life with-"

*Thwack*

"Stay with me!? Who will tolerate a lazy girl like you!? You dare say this after waking up at ten o'clock!"

"Wait, Mom! I'm being sentimental here! Why are you grabbing the broom!?"

"Sentimental! Stay right there!"

"No, Mom! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" Confusion and disbelief engulfed me as the bizarre situation unfolded before my eyes. I'm transported back to the past to my highschool days before her and my path across, a second chance at life granted by some unseen force. Yet, a question lingers—why? The prospect of revisiting a life marked by agony, a journey intertwined with hers, is a daunting one. Must I endure the same heartache once more? What meaning lies behind this unexpected gift of a second chance at life?

How to survive as a villain

Ren Jiang, an introverted architect, died. He found himself transmigrating into a psychotic villain of the novel he read. Thinking about gaining new martial powers, he excitedly stepped out of the door. He did not get the powers but ended up face to face with a childhood friend who was obsessed with the original body. Ren, "..." Trying to get rid of the obsessed friend he found himself entangled in life and death situation with none other than the male lead. Ren, "... Please, leave me alone!" With the help of his system, Ren, now, Dorion, tried warding off the evil people and correcting original's evil ways. He finally achieved a peaceful life.... Not really. Even, when he carefully avoided any troublesome interactions with the main leads, he still, ended up catching the eye of the male supporting character. A person who appeared at the end of the novel, just to torture the original Dorion. Even when the original owner begged for death, he was cured to be tortured again. Ren, "..." Looking at the tall figure coming towards him, Ren sneakily tried to wiggle his way out, "I'll l-leave right now. I-I didn't m-mean to come here…” Kade Death laughed, his wine-red eyes gleamed with amusement. He easily trapped the beautiful person in his arms, "You didn't actually think that I would let you go, right? The scared Ren, "..." I did, But I dare not say! "I let you go once, my sweet, not anymore..." Ren, "...System, H-Help!" System, "Why don't you help me?!!!! Save me from the claws of this nine-tailed fox!!!!" ---------------------------------------------------------- This was my first novel. And I realized that... To some readers it came off as a bit erratic at some points. Is it hilarious? Yes, absolutely. Is the story different than other transmigrations? Yes. Is it hard to grasp? Maybe, for some readers. I have learned so much after writing this. So, I am glad that I did. I may or may not edit it in future for better readability. If you are reading this, I am glad that you did. If you find it erratic... you can check out my other novel (⁠◔⁠‿⁠◔⁠). .............................................................

Carnivals: Claimed By The Deranged Alpha Prince [BL]

From fleeing for your safety and enrolling in a school filled with psychopaths… to being claimed by a deranged alpha prince? Yeah, you’re better off dead. • . • Jules’ life was picture perfect until his entire family got murdered all of a sudden, with him being the only survivor. A savior swooped In because he was still in immense danger, and that led to Jules taking on a new identity and becoming a completely different person overnight— and enrolling into Carnivals, a prestigious all-boys school for all supernatural beings. In Carnivals, monsters lurk the dark hallways and the strong preyed on the weak. You either become a predator or a prey… and from one look at Jules— a boy too pretty for his own good, with a slender and petite build, it was obvious that he was gonna be eaten alive by the predators. Here comes Blaze, a wolf who sends shivers down every predator’s spine in the school, an insanely hot Alpha who was as dangerous and deranged as the rumors claimed. He took one glance at Jules and decided there and then that Jules belonged to him. *** I inched backwards, eyes widening even more as my eyes zeroed in on the smirk tugging at the side of his lips. Blaze never smiled, and whenever he does, it never meant anything good. My heartbeat quickened as I scrambled backwards even more, breath stuttering to a stop as he began to narrow the distance between us. In no time, my back was plastered against the cold wall and that was when it hit me right in the chest that I was cornered and ensnared, like an actual prey… by none other than Blaze, when I had thought my life couldn’t get any worse. He towered over me effortlessly, emitting so much dominance and I had to tilt my head backwards for me to be able to meet his dark eyes, and my breath hitched when our eyes locked. He leaned down and my eyes snapped closed at once as I held my breath, waiting for him to strike. I’ve heard all the horrifying, endless rumors about him. He was an Alpha Prince whose presence someone like me should never be in. When I felt the tip of his cold nose glide over the length of my throat, my mouth fell open to release a startled gasp. He dragged in a long, audible breath and I felt a shiver rattle down my spine as I grew even stiffer, confusion clouding my mind. What was happening? Why was he doing this out of nowhere? Oh my gosh… he really was a deranged alpha like everyone says! *** THIS BOOK IS RATED 18+! It contains matured content such as: - Bullying. - Drug use. - Smut [a whole lot of it.] - Violence. - Harem [not between the main characters.] So… proceed with caution, you’ve been warned! *I don’t own the rights to the cover!
