That guy was my friend's boyfriend. After they fought, he came home and said he wanted my opinion. What exactly made his girlfriend change? I, who didn't have a bad feeling at all, put him in the house. Then he killed me! That bastard stabbed me multiple times with a kitchen knife and killed me. Even though he knew tomorrow was my wedding day. How sad. A death that made me curse all efforts. But, what could I do? I thought I was dead. I did. Because at that moment I didn't feel any air in my lungs. Because everything went dark. I didn't know anything until I opened my eyes and saw a beautiful ceiling with crystal chandeliers. Are there hospitals like this? I'm sure that even if the apartment I lived in was sold, I wouldn't be able to buy that crystal chandelier! "She's alive! SHE'S ALIVE! LADY ELEONORA IS ALIVE!" I turned my head and saw an old woman running while screaming. I'm alive? Really? But who is Eleonora? I'm Cristy! I don't understand anything yet. Not a single thing. People started introducing themselves as my parents, future in-laws, and fiancé. But I knew that none of them were telling the truth! Their smiling faces were terrifying masks. My gut screamed at me to run away. And I knew that my gut never lied!

As the fog of death clears, she finds herself burdened with the echoes of her past lives—each one a vivid thread woven into the fabric of her being. With each heartbeat, she recalls the loves that ignited her soul, the betrayals that shattered her trust, and the secrets that linger like shadows in the corners of her mind. Elena soon realizes that her past is not just a collection of memories; it is a map leading her to a destiny intertwined with those she thought she had left behind. As she navigates this new reality, she must confront the choices that haunt her and the relationships that define her. Will she uncover the truth behind her repeated deaths? Or will the weight of her history pull her into an abyss from which there is no return? Join Elena on a journey that transcends time and mortality, where every choice echoes across lifetimes, and every heartbeat is a reminder that life, love, and death are more intricately connected than she ever imagined. Welcome to a world where dying is just the beginning.

In a world where the Sevengod Church with an iron fist, Oliver, a downtrodden acolyte struggling to survive, uncovers a terrifying truth: the gods are long dead, their thrones consumed by madness. The Church’s “Divine Circuits” aren’t holy—they are cursed shackles, binding humanity to the ravenous, decaying deities they claim to serve. In reality, humans are mere sacrifices, fed to the gods to prolong their fading existence. Armed with the Blasphemy Codex System, Oliver treads a dangerous path. Each time he desecrates a god or slays a hypocritical priest, Oliver draws power from the Codex, strengthening himself with every heresy. The so-called divine beings of holy love? The great, selfless clergy? The beloved by all? Let me expose their true nature, and show everyone the maggots crawling beneath the shiny facade! This is what Oliver is doing, this is how Oliver grows stronger! When the last fancy lie falls apart in his bloody hands, Oliver finally sees the truth—those so-called gods never wanted worship, just the fear in human eyes. Now, the Codex speaks of dead stars rising again, its pages filled with secrets that could either create new gods from fallen believers or destroy everything in their final scream. Will his sword bring salvation, or just make him the most terrifying monster in this deadly game?
