Chibi Pride: “Look him in the eye, keep your voice steady, and if you need a moment to gather your thoughts, don’t say umm, hold your breath.” Chibi Sloth: “Think… of all the time… we could save…” Chibi Gluttony: “Moderation doesn’t mean abstinences.” Chibi Lust: “Nothing is sexier than a man who brings exotic trophies back from his hunt.” Chibi Wrath: “It’s not even that big a deal, it’s one freaking box man.” Chibi Envy: “Come on Greed, if we don’t get it now, we’ll keep thinking about it, then next time a craving hits, we’ll just want more. Probably something more expensive, or more of it.” Chibi Greed: “It’s. Not. On. The. List.” Max watched the seven tiny forms of the great and powerful seven deadly sins argue… over a box of Lucky Charms. He steadied his shoulders and met the tiny Greed’s eyes blocking the box he’d reached for, “I’ve worked two double shifts this week, yes it’s outside of budget, and not on the list, but...” He took a moment as Chibi Pride nodded encouragingly. “Twice this week I left work so late I was too tired to make anything. Yes, it’s cheaper, yes, it’s healthier, but I need something I can grab on the go, or stuff my face in under ten minutes. I’ll ride my bike to work to cut back bus fares.” Greed glared at his companions, “We’re supposed to work together.” Pride grinned showing all his teeth, “We are.” The other five all grinned at Greed playfully. “I am getting a box of Lucky Charms Greed.” Max didn’t let his voice waver under Greed’s increasingly irate scowl. After a small hesitation, he reached for the box next to Greed, and put it in his cart. When Pride patted his ear he let out the breath he’d been holding as a wide smile spread over his face. Hell yeah! I finally did it! After three months, they, no he, managed to stand his ground. Ryan, the security guard, watched the young man… talk to a box of cereal. All the fucking crazies around here, he hated it when they started talking to themselves. Never knew when one would get violent… at least this kid was a regular… always talking to fruits, vegetables, sometimes the occasional discounted meat. He leaned his head to his walkie talkie, “It’s our fruit negotiator, apparently the cereal isn’t keen on going home with him today. Tell Karen she can relax.” Ruby listened to the chatter as she gave her best customer service smile to their very own special Karen. She’d refused to pay for her four hundred dollars’ worth of groceries until someone verified the crazy guy she’d spotted had been spoken to. Her two crotch goblins still screaming hysterically in the father’s cart… they had to be at least eight years old already… God how much longer was her shift? Ruby checked her phone… seven hours… and twenty-three more minutes… not including her lunch.

Instead, he awoke moments later to find that he had reincarnated into his past-self. Armed with his experience and knowledge of future events, he sets out to live his life anew.

Poppy thought nothing her twisted family ever did could shock her. But she was wrong. Three days later, she is met with a truth she could never face — her fake marriage with the stranger was planned by her stepsister and betrothed, to a man they thought was deceased, just so that they could get married first and hide their affairs. "You'll marry Dale... even if it means being his second wife!" Her family had said when she exposed her half-sister. And when Poppy tried to rebel, she realized that fate was cruel to her. Her supposed husband, Alaric Langford, was a mad man the world knew nothing about, and a man no one dares to cross. Trapped in a twisted marriage, Poppy decided to go against her cruel fate and take revenge on everyone who had ruined her life. But something was weird. Why was her mad husband aggressive with others but clingy with her? And why was he strange sometimes like he was normal? ## EXCEPT 1 Poppy stopped just at the entrance... and froze. "What in the name of sanity...?" The front yard—no, the entire courtyard—was in chaos. They were guards everywhere, chasing after one man. And not just any man. A tall, dangerously handsome, half-naked man with wild black hair. He ran barefoot through the courtyard, laughing like a child who'd stolen candy, while the guards struggled to catch up. "GET HIM!" "HE'S HEADING FOR THE FOUNTAIN!" Poppy's mouth fell open. Her brain couldn't process what she was seeing. Why were they chasing him? The man suddenly paused when he sensed her. And then he turned. Their eyes met. She drew in a sharp breath at the eye contact. There was something disturbingly beautiful about him. His chest rose and fell as sweat glistened across his skin, and he looked at her curiously. Then he smiled. She felt her heart thunder wildly in her chest, but her face paled when she realized what he was about to do. Without warning, he yanked off the last piece of clothing he had on. Just like that, he was completely naked.

The best I can do is 2 to 3 chapter per weeks since I'm currently working two jobs and a very important degree. 3. I'll keep it free to read so if you like what you see, you can support me through power stones and feedbacks. There is also a Patreon link if you want to donate and help me have more time to write.
