"If your heart aches like someone often says Then remember that the fall of a leaf is a leaf that is renewed And keep those painful notes When good things will end and fade away Even when love was once abundant This is precious to you like silver and gold If one day you meet someone who brings joy Then remember that the pain you hold onto will help you find peace Because we are not used to pain through many times We should not suffer when the evening fades." - " Nhắn nhủ" by Ronboogz -

“The boogeyman of Outer Gods, protector of Earth, humanity’s last stand—Miratheris’s son has returned.” I was drowning in sloth. The color of life had drained from my eyes, leaving only shades of grey. Doing anything felt like punishment. Looking for a job? A laughable idea. I did everything I could to stay disconnected from reality. Gambling. Drinking. Even suicidal stunts. Anything to escape the numbness that clawed at my mind for even a second. But everything comes at a cost. I abandoned my family. Broke the heart of the only woman who ever loved me. And wasted every damn day like it didn’t matter. I became the kind of man society throws out with the trash. But life didn’t spare me. Not even when I hit rock bottom. Deceived, shackled, and sold into another world— I spent the rest of my days as a slave. Forced to fight monsters ripped straight out of myth. At the very end, all I could do… was wish. Just one more chance. One shot to make things right. … Born a prodigy, Ashen Hart moved through life like a golden boy. What others worked for, he mastered with ease. At first, it felt like a blessing. The validation, pride, and accomplishment felt sweet. But even honey spoils when you’re drowning in it. The more success he tasted, the more hollow it all became. And when a mysterious power awakened within him, letting him see moments into the future— The world lost all color. And then all meaning… Nothing could surprise him. Nothing could move him. He spiraled. Ashen threw it all away—ambition, love, purpose— and embraced the slow death of apathy. But fate wasn’t done with him. Kidnapped by a shadowy organization and forced into a hidden war, he learned the brutal truth: he wasn’t special. He was fodder. Cannon meat to delay the inevitable. But somewhere, buried beneath sloth and cynicism, the genius stirred. The apathy rotted away. And Ashen Hart, the failure, became Ashen Hart, the wretched. The unkillable. From a discarded pawn to the final hope of mankind. And when it was over—when even the gods had fallen— he was left alone. At his dying breath, the Earth’s spirit, Miratheris, answered his plea. She rewound time, giving him one last shot. But not without a price. She kept his memories intact… and delayed their return just enough so his younger self could bear the weight. Ashen’s second life begins now— and the monsters, both within and beyond, are about to learn what regret truly feels like.

Micheal has had the worst luck ever since he was born. And that bad luck seemed to follow him even till adulthood. What could someone who was in his early 30s hope to accomplish when nothing ever seemed to be going well for him? He hated everyone and everything. He felt betrayed and hated by the universe itself. But even as he sought to end his own miserable life, he still took compassion on the wounded stray dog he found on the roadside and took it home. But who would’ve thought he would find a grown-ass man who was way bigger than him, tanned and so handsome with a good body, on his bed the next morning after waking up, claiming to be the dog he took home and not just that, he was claiming to be an Alpha and a werewolf shapeshifter. The world was suddenly upside down. What more did he need to hear for him to throw this dangerous man out of his house? Only, he couldn’t be so cruel because this man had no memories of who he really was and thus, he had nowhere to go. Stuck in a predicament, Micheal decides to take him in, only for the time being. So long he obediently did everything he asked, it was okay. But it’s not over yet as Micheal gets visited every night by this man who has a peculiar sleepwalking habit where he gets ‘intimate’ with Micheal. Just where will this cohabitation between a regular human, who was fed up with life, and an Alpha, who was desperate to stay safe while he was regaining his memories, lead?
