Senior Server Felix stood at the front of the church, his voice steady and solemn as he greeted the congregation. “Our help is in the name of the Lord,” he intoned. “Who made Heaven and Earth,” the people responded in unison, their voices matching his reverent tone. “Today, we initiate new members into this divine and holy Order,” Felix continued. “Today, we welcome new brethren into the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ.” At the back of the church, Louis sat on one of the few single chairs, his posture slightly slouched as his focus remained on a sheet of music in his hands. The title read, "Brightest and Best – Key of A-flat." 'Why didn’t Gramps give me an F or G? A-flat is so difficult, and I only have three days to finish it,' he grumbled silently, his brow furrowing in frustration. But he dared not voice his complaints. He could already imagine his grandfather assigning him even more difficult pieces—F-sharps and endless A-flats—as punishment. From the front of the church, a serene voice called out, “Harry! Step forward!” Louis glanced up, momentarily pulled from his inner musings. His eyes landed on a girl stepping forward from the pews. She had black hair neatly styled in a bun and striking green eyes that seemed to shine with warmth and composure. Dressed in a modest brown dress and black sandals, with a rosary resting gracefully around her neck, she exuded a calm, dignified presence. Her tanned skin and graceful demeanor only added to the aura of reverence surrounding her, befitting an Altar server. 'Sigh,' Louis thought as he brushed a hand through his white hair, his blue eyes softening with a mix of admiration and envy. 'I wonder what it’s like to be an Altar server. They all seem so pure and divine… and powerful.' Just as he returned his attention to his music, a calm, gentlemanly voice spoke beside him. “You could also be an Altar server, if you’re interested.” “Huh?” Louis blurted out, snapping his head to the side. But no one was there. “What in the name of Jesus is going on here?” he muttered, glancing nervously around. “At least you know my name,” the voice replied again, seemingly amused. “What?” Louis whispered, his heart beginning to race. "I'm certain you will be a good server," the voice said, calm yet enigmatic. Louis narrowed his eyes, still searching for its source. "Who are you?" "I have many personalities. I have many names," the voice replied with an air of mystery. "It’s your choice which one you accept." "You’re not making any sense," Louis muttered, growing more unsettled. "Blessed are those who have not seen but believed…" Before Louis could respond, his vision blurred, and the world around him seemed to melt away. He jolted awake, gasping for air. His hands clutched the crumpled sheet of music, its corners bent from his restless grip. His head teetered precariously over the edge of his bed, a faint ache in his neck reminding him of the awkward position he’d been in. "Holy Mother of Jesus!" he exclaimed as he lost his balance, tumbling off the bed in a heap of blankets and scattered papers.

An Hao saltó, pensando que había muerto, pero para su sorpresa, cuando abrió los ojos, se encontró de vuelta en el año 1985. ¿Para vivir una segunda vida, tenía que soportar de nuevo el abuso de su madrastra y hermanastra, el desagrado de su suegra y el desdén de su cuñada, y la traición de su mejor amiga que valientemente se convirtió en la otra solo para abofetearla y escalar socialmente? ¿Se suponía que debía terminar su miserable vida en la pobreza otra vez? La respuesta de An Hao fue, "¡Coman! ¡Mierda! ¡No!" Estaba decidida a hacer algo por sí misma, a enriquecerse capitalizando su conocimiento y apuntando a una vida acomodada. Esta vez, iba a ser la hermana mayor protectora que reformaría a su inútil hermano pequeño que había muerto una muerte miserable, y la esposa virtuosa para compensar su anterior negligencia hacia su esposo. ¡No dejaría que esta vida se desperdiciara en la desesperación! ¿Una amiga maliciosa? ¿Codiciando a su hombre? ¡De ninguna manera! ¡Que se vayan a donde les plazca! Cof cof, ¿cómo no se dio cuenta en su vida pasada de que este "Rey del Infierno Estoico" era tan indecente? ¿Decente? Ya has tenido suficiente decencia durante el día.

An Hao melompat, berpikir bahwa dia telah mati, namun untuk kejutannya, saat dia membuka matanya, dia menemukan dirinya kembali di tahun 1985. Untuk menjalani kehidupan kedua, apakah dia harus menanggung lagi siksaan dari ibu tiri dan saudari tirinya, ketidaksukaan dari mertuanya dan penghinaan dari iparnya, serta pengkhianatan dari sahabatnya yang nekat menjadi wanita lain hanya untuk menampar dia di wajah dan menaiki tangga sosial? Apakah dia harus mengakhiri hidupnya yang menyedihkan dalam kemiskinan sekali lagi? Jawaban An Hao adalah, "Makan! Tai! Tidak!" Dia bertekad untuk mengubah nasibnya, menjadi kaya dengan memanfaatkan ilmunya dan mengincar kehidupan yang lebih baik. Kali ini, dia akan menjadi kakak perempuan yang protektif yang mereformasi adik laki-lakinya yang tidak berguna yang telah mati secara menyedihkan, dan istri yang saleh untuk menebus kelalaian masa lalunya terhadap suaminya! Dia tidak akan membiarkan hidup ini sia-sia dalam keputusasaan! Sahabat yang berniat jahat? Mengincar lelakinya? Tidak mungkin! Pergi saja ke tempat yang sejuk! Ehem ehem, bagaimana dia tidak menyadari di kehidupan sebelumnya bahwa "Raja Neraka" yang pendiam ini ternyata tidak senonoh. Sopan? Kau sudah cukup berlaku sopan di siang hari.

In the end, will the strength he has gained be enough to save them both from a fate that unfolds like winter itself: beautiful, cruel and inevitable?

(MATURE CONTENT) Threesome arc? - Right here A weak, adorable, and low self-esteemed MC with an awful past, a trauma breaking him down every second and controling his life, just before he meets his 'suns', and later gains confidence and starts loving himself again arc? - Right here. Yeah, you read that right. Twin brothers who radiate like the sun and are very possessive of the MC, putting his happiness above everything arc? Gosh, look no further, you're in the right place. This story is just for you, so open it and read to your heart's content. ****** Synopsis I was just a no-name photographer who was trying hard to make a living, but then I got tangled with 'them'. My life, as it was, had always been nothing but a nightmare, living a cursed life that wasn't fit to be called a life. I had no chances with love, connections, or anything. Nothing! And after drawing my last straw, trying to make a final effort that would maybe lead me somewhere other than dirt, I met them again. They - the twins - were my childhood friends whose lives I had ruined with my presence, and I was scared to ruin it a second time, so I tried to stay away from them but... They had other plans. 'When angels dream.' That was what I called the picture. The beautiful portrait was filled with serenity as that blond Italian man gazed into the distance and was showered with the soft petals of cherry blossom. The beautiful picture I had 'stolen'. Yeah, that's the word. I stole it because I didn't ask for permission first. But this is how it unfolded. At first, I took the picture without asking because I was so mesmerized by the scenery, and completely breathtaking, but then I got caught but it wasn't by the same man. They looked alike and wore the same clothes but I could tell right away that he wasn't him. Nevertheless, I apologized. "I'm deeply sorry." I said but then, the man whom I had stolen a picture from walked up behind me and said, "To think such a day would come." I turned around and blinked, looking at the man in front of me and then at the one behind me. They were identical twins. And not only that ... My heart shook... They looked like the twins I had known back then. "What's the matter?" The one in front asked with a bright smile that I was so compelled to take a picture of him and I did. He blinked at my confused expression and then burst out laughing. A sweet and cheerful laugh that made me blush. he looked really handsome. They both did, with their blonde hair which shone like gold with the suns radiation and a charming smile. I found my heart racing at the mere sight of that smile and almost forgot the situation I was in. "I see you haven't changed at all." He suddenly said, swiped my hair back and added, softly, "Hyung." My eyes widened. These two... It couldn't be... They weren't the twins, right? The twins that I knew. They... How did this happen? I just wanted a picture, that's all. ****** Thank you all for diving into this story. Note, the smut doesn't officially start right away till the later chapters but I didn't leave the readers without some sweet candies either, so along the line, there were a bunch of 'actions' between MC and the twins, huhu. His denial knew no bound but his body still won in the end, haha. Anyway, if you find waiting for updates too long, and you haven't checked out my other books, please do. There's also a threesome arc in the first one below. And it's completed too. What a score! 1) Alpha, Alpha, Beta? I transmigrated into an Omegaverse as a boy? [Completed] Check out the continuation of number one, It's the next generation, that is, their kids 2) To Byul (Omegaverse) [Ongoing ]

By a twist of fate, he became an existence whose sole duty was to confront this destruction. He became an Apostle elites of humanity —the ones who could access the other realm. The only problem was that the difficulty of his trials was higher than others’, almost as though he was cursed that not only affected him but also those around him.

"Kings, when they invade a land, they ruin it and render the honor of its people humbled." That word sears into my memory. A voice that has long disappeared, sweetly creeping back, faint and distant. Words that ring true across the universe. My world was once a canvas of wonder, where sunshine beams on a green landscape and rainbows decorate the sky. His world, however, was painted with the crimson hues of blood and draped in the ashen cloak of despair. I had seen the world through a beautiful colored glass. I failed to grasp the rift that separated us, oblivious to the fact that while we stood on the same land, our feet tread upon different paths. Beneath the same expansive sky, our gazes had locked in opposing directions. Breathing the same air, and yet… I hadn’t noticed it sooner. Up above, I found a serene and familiar landscape, in a different realm, bridged by the unknown. While he, down below, navigated a harsh reality. Worlds apart. But destiny united us. His dark hair is like the midnight sky. His bright eyes rival the radiance of the rays. His complexion, kissed by the sun itself. His freckles are like the stars that adorn the firmament. Amidst these, his round ears stand as a reminder of our inherent differences – he, a child of humanity, and I, a descendant of the elves. He is a sorcerer with his words, weaving phrases that entrap my very soul. He’s bewitching me in love so deep and profound. He invades my heart without any sword. And yet… "Dear beloved, I’ve called out to you often, yet my cries fall upon deaf ears." "Dear beloved, I’ve glimpsed you in the shadows of my dreams, but you have not seen me." "Dear beloved…"

They say men are made by blood, sweat, pain and heartbreaks, but this saying could be defined as a severe understatement when it comes to Luan. The only sense of normalcy in his life was when he still had a family. Unfortunately, his family is caught in the schemes of a higher power, causing their deaths... Even his own. He finds himself alive, and swears to get revenge, but when had things ever been that simple? The inevitable hardships and tribulations he faces are enough to drive him to the point of insanity, but what keeps his crumbling sanity from falling apart is an influence from outside. Half-dead and half-crazy, Luan decides to complete what he had promised himself at first, but then, he finds out an earth shaking secret that causes it all to come crumbling apart...

Audia asked as the two of them were on their way in Alvin's private car. Alvin cleared his throat once. "Yes, that is so." "No wonder I feel like I know your face," said Audia, matching her memory. "What do you teach, huh?" "Architecture." Audia nodded her head while her mouth formed an 'o' shape. 'Uh? .... Wait ... what?' Suddenly the nerves of her brain suppress the memory in the hippocampus. "Mr. Mandala?" Audia asked for sure. Which immediately got a nod from Alvin. "No way!" Audia screamed in disbelief. Her eyes narrowed at Alvin. "Why?" asked Alvin in surprise. A Mandala H, that's what Audia remembers when the new lecturer introduced himself when he first taught. Wearing a plaid shirt, smooth hair, neatly slicked back, glasses always perched on his sharp nose. Came with a bag containing his laptop and a textbook for teaching. Lecturer arrogant, pretentious cool, stingy smile, flat face, killer. Very different from Alvin who is now her husband. Unexpectedly 'that Mr. Mandala' and Alvin—her husband, turned out to be the same person. 'That annoying person turned out to be my husband?' she thought. 'Oh noooooo!' * * ******* ** The bride-to-be suddenly withdrew from the marriage due to an arranged marriage. Then run away and the news is not known. The groom-to-be was left speechless in front of the invited guests. Worry for a moment. Canceling the marriage contract or looking for an impromptu replacement bride.

How will the story of their marriage continue? Will the seeds of love grow between these two strangers?

Alvin berdehem sekali. "Ya, begitulah." "Pantes aku, kok, kaya ngerasa kenal sama muka Mas Alvin," tutur Audia menyocokan memorinya. "Mas ngajar apa, ya?"  "Arsitektur." Audia menganggukan kepala sambil mulutnya membentuk huruf 'o'. 'Eh?  ....  Wait  ...  what?' Tiba-tiba syaraf-syaraf otaknya menekan memori di hipokampus. "Pak Mandala?" tanya Audia memastikan. Yang langsung mendapat anggukan dari Alvin. "No way!" jerit Audia tidak percaya. Matanya membulat menatap lekat Alvin. "Kenapa?" tanya Alvin heran. "Pak Mandala yang kutau, mengajar memakai kacamata.
