Ethan's head throbbed violently as he opened his eyes, his vision hazy and unfocused. A dull ringing filled his ears, drowning out his thoughts. "What’s happening…?" he thought, his mind sluggish, struggling to catch up with reality. One moment, he was asleep—or at least, he thought he was—and the next, searing pain forced him awake. His vision swam, shapes blurring together in a disorienting mess. But then, muffled noises filtered through the haze—frantic, panicked sounds. Someone was trying to scream, their voice smothered, choked by something. A cold shiver ran down his spine. As his sight gradually sharpened, Ethan's breath hitched. He was on all fours, looming over someone. A girl. Her body twisted and writhed beneath him, ropes biting into her wrists and ankles. Her mouth was gagged, muffling her cries. Her wide brown eyes, brimming with fear and fury, glared up at him. Ethan's body locked in place, his blood running cold. "What the…?" His mind reeled, thoughts slamming into each other in chaotic disarray. "What kind of bizarre dream is this?" Panic clawed at his chest. His breath came in ragged, uneven gasps as he scrambled backward, only to realize his limbs felt sluggish, uncooperative, like they didn’t belong to him. "Is this… is this some kind of twisted fantasy I never knew I had?" A sickening thought slithered through his mind, making his stomach churn. The girl's frantic squirming slowed for a moment, her gaze flickering with confusion as she took in his expression—his trembling hands, his wide, horrified eyes. But the fear returned just as quickly. She struggled harder, her body arching, her muffled screams rising in pitch. Ethan wanted to speak, to say something, anything, but before he could force out a word, a glowing blue window materialized before his eyes. His breath caught. A translucent, hovering screen? "What…?" Lines of glowing text scrolled across its surface. --- [System Activated…] [Host Confirmed.] [Simulating Previous Data…] Ethan awakens in a mysterious world, shackled by a curse that clouds his judgment and drives him toward choices he never wished to make.

"When you think everything is going well, the world will flip you the middle finger." __ I had a fantastic life: a loving family, amazing friends, a stable job... I had it all.

Estella was betrothed to Viscount Alistair Ravensdale, a man in his seventies and old enough to be her grandfather. The thought of belonging to him made her sick. But she had no choice. As the illegitimate daughter of the Baron of Cleverview, she had known only servitude under her stepmother, the Baroness, and her twin stepsisters, Geraldine and Georgiana. Estella became the price of his silence when the Baron embezzled public funds to indulge his wife’s extravagant tastes. The Viscount, willing to cover up the debt, demanded her as payment. She would be his fourth wife and the only one still alive. Estella would rather die than waste away in an isolated castle bound to a man she loathed. Duke Félix of Châteaubriant was engaged to the King’s daughter, Coralie. No one had forced him into it, and no one could. He needed a duchess to manage his estates and was growing tired of fleeting affairs. To him, marriage was a contract and a practical arrangement. But that was before Estella. A chance encounter at Lady Agatha’s ball left the Duke and Estella in a compromising situation. Seeing an opportunity, Estella blackmailed Felix into granting her the one thing she had always wanted: freedom from her family and the future they had imposed on her only if the Baron and Baroness would let her go without a fight. Would her gamble pay off, or had she only succeeded in trading one cage for another?

|| To all the readers who are grieving over Caelestis Lanister’s death. I deeply apologize but this character always deserved death in my eyes of justice.

If you ever try to do that to her again, I will kill you.” His words cut through her, burning with hatred and fear. Anger surged within her as she fought against him. She had never intended to hurt Stella, not once. The blame lay with the original owner of the body, not her. Why must she listen to these accusations? “I have no such intentions!” she shouted at his face, gasping to find breath. “Let me go!” Her foot lashed out, kicking him in the thigh, but he quickly pinned it down as well. Exhausted from her useless struggles, Eleanore realized she had to gather her strength and then perhaps bite off some skin from his handsome face. “You are just an obsessed man,” she snarled. “You don’t know how to treat a woman. You’re killing her!” Before she could finish, Caelestis silenced her with a violent grip around her throat. His hand tightened around her neck, cutting off her breath. Her wrists were free, but now her neck was caught, and every breath became a struggle. Panic surged through her as she struggled to find, her nails digged deep into at his arm in a desperate attempt to free herself.

In his past life, Dr. Elias Valtor was a world-renowned pharmacist, a pioneer in medicine, and a man who had dedicated his life to curing the incurable. But in the blink of an eye, he dies—only to awaken in the body of a frail, sickly young noble in a dying aristocratic house. Now, he is Duke Alexander Aragon, heir to a crumbling dukedom on the brink of collapse in the small but strategically placed Kingdom of Velmoria, nestled in a vast continent ruled by warring empires, treacherous nobles, and forgotten alchemical arts.

And in a world where both magic and medicine can be weapons, he will become a force that neither kings nor empires can ignore. The journey of a fallen noble, a forgotten house, and a man who wields knowledge like a sword begins now.

I died as a hardcore gamer, only to open my eyes in a cultivation fantasy I once played. Not as the hero. Not even as a helpful mentor. or a big villian... But as the cannon fodder destined to die before the first act even concludes. I recognize this world instantly—the sprawling mansions of nobility, the immortal sects hidden in misty mountains, the power hierarchy where cultivators stand above common folk. I've played through this story dozens of times, defeated every hidden boss, unlocked every secret ending. And now I'm trapped inside it, wearing the skin of the game's first villain. My position? The worthless young master of a prestigious family, universally despised yet secretly possessing a dormant bloodline that nobody in-game ever discovered because this character dies too quickly. But something is wrong. Characters are behaving differently than they did in the game. Events are unfolding in unexpected ways. The cold beauty who should immediately despise me seems strangely interested in my skills. The vixen villianess who orchestrated my demise now studies me with curiosity. Is my presence changing the storyline? Or was there always more to this world than what players could see through their screens? With each deviation from the script I memorized, my meta-knowledge becomes less reliable. Yet it remains my greatest weapon as I navigate political intrigue, forge unlikely alliances, and desperately work to awaken powers that were never meant to be unlocked by a character designed only to die. I refuse to be expendable. I reject the role assigned to me. In a world where destiny is supposedly predetermined, I will rewrite the algorithm itself—or break the entire system trying.
