Thesaurus Misery

I was raised in the most isolated orphanage of Korea. In a life full of misery, I had only one solace, Sera Ryu. Though she was the daughter of the most prestigious Ryu family, we were best friends. Our friendship was secret. One night, she was found dead. The case was closed, claiming it was a wild animal attack, but I knew she was in trouble. She was murdered. There was nothing an orphan like me could do…until the Ryu family adopted me, mistaking me for their elder daughter who lost her mind at a young age and was sent to the orphanage. She was dead, but they didn't know, and the warden asked me to pretend to be her to hide the fact that their daughter died during a punishment. The Ryu family adopted me because the madam went crazy after losing Sera. It was my chance to enter the Ryu family and find out the murderer who killed Sera. Little did I expect I would be greeted by five elder brothers. They are cold, arrogant, distant, and dangerous. If only I knew I had stepped into a dangerous trap of lust, betrayal, and twisted feelings.

The ancient evil god that sleeps in the abyss has awakened—an evil that always lurks in the hearts of humans, slowly corroding their minds until madness blooms within misery. In this world where darkness and light coexist, a fully armored dark knight walks through the shadows. Red, tattered tights flutter overhead. On a dusty shelf in the hallway, a spider perches at the center of a chest emblem—its owner tumbling across the city, trying to play the part of a good neighbor. A brilliant, philanthropic billionaire dons a high-tech suit, swearing to protect the world. And towering above all, a figure that seems divine—a symbol of hope not born of this planet, with a crimson cape flowing like sunlight, and an "S" emblazoned on his chest. No one would have expected that behind the screen, just an ordinary young man lost in a video game... was the one pulling the strings.

From the moment she was born, Valessia Damon was marked for pain, for rejection, for ruin. The Moon Goddess didn’t just withhold her blessings from her… but she branded her. Abandoned at a tender age by the father who deemed her a disgrace, widowed far too young, left to raise a disabled child, and forced into a second marriage while still carrying her late husband’s pup, Valessia’s life has been a relentless chain of suffering. And yet, the real torment began after her second marriage. Scorned by everyone, crushed beneath the weight of physical, emotional and mental abuse, Valessia accepted the misery until she stumbled upon a secret that changed everything: she was living her second life. She had died once before… and came back. Armed with the knowledge of her rebirth and the future that awaits her, Valessia vowed to rewrite her story and rise from the ashes like a phoenix. To do that, she knew she had to face her very family who once discarded her like trash. Months later, she returns to Duskborne Creed Pack, the very pack that ruined her, determined to make them pay. Revenge is best served cold, and Valessia is ready to serve it with precision. No one will be spared. … Lucien Rhode, Alpha of Duskborne Creed Pack, remembers it all. The past life. The choices. The pain. Reborn with every haunting memory, he holds power, wealth, and respect but none of it matters. Not without her. Fated to another, bound by status and tradition, Lucien defied the Moon Goddess’s will. He chose Valessia, the woman no one else dared to claim. Even if it makes him a traitor. Even if it costs him everything. Even if she never forgives him. Their bond is forbidden, their love cursed. But he would rather be her shield in hell than a king in heaven without her. Because some loves don’t follow fate. They defy it.

Elena was destined to be the next Luna of the Nightshade Pack, but fate had other plans. Accused for murder and thrown into a dungeon, she spent six years in darkness. When her fated mate, Alpha Enzo of the Moonshine Pack, finally found her, he rejected her without hesitation—choosing her cousin, Stella, instead. And as if that wasn’t enough, after their packs merged, he humiliated and banished her. Just when Elena thought her suffering couldn't get worse, her own uncle sold her to the most feared man of all—the Alpha King, known as the Death God. But instead of making her a slave, he made her his contract wife. However, there was more to her marriage than she realized. Why did King Killian choose her? What secret was he hiding? As if things couldn't get more complicated, Elena discovered that she was also mated to King Killian’s brother, a man who wanted nothing but her misery. And the biggest shock of all? Elena was still mated to Alpha Enzo. Their mate bond never broke. Three powerful Alphas. One forsaken she-wolf. What fate had the Moon Goddess planned for Elena? And will she survive the storm ahead?

She gave up her dream of shining on the ballerina stage —for him. She sacrificed her self-respect —for him. She forgot her true identity —for him. But even after all that, she couldn’t compare to the woman who held Ryan’s heart. Arwen Quinn, heiress of prestigious Quinn family, realized too late that no matter what she did, she would never win Ryan’s love. The future that awaited her was a life trapped in endless misery of a loveless marriage. So, decisively, she ends their relationship and walks away. What she didn’t expect was that in breaking free from Ryan, she had opened the door for Aiden to enter her life — a chance that he had been waiting for. Aiden Winslow, an enigmatic CEO isn’t just mysterious —he is determined, and won’t allow to take Arwen away from him again. ____ Excerpt: Aiden narrowed his eyes, “Are you sure about this?” “If I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t have asked,” Arwen replied coolly. “Stop dawdling. If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else who can get the marriage certificates today.” His expression darkened as he pulled her close. “Once offered to me, it’s mine alone.” Unfazed, Arwen asked, “So, do you accept? If yes, we’ll get the certificates now.” “On one condition,” he said. “I don’t do contract marriages. The woman I marry will be the woman I share my bed with. If you agree, then we’ll—” “Not a problem. Let’s go,” Arwen said without letting him finish, pulling him into the Civil Marriage Bureau.

Living a normal life is boring, but I was happy with what I had. Even when I spent most of my life in regret and misery, I lived because I had someone that I loved dearly. And that said someone took my life... But fate had different plans for me... As if death wasn't enough for me. As if the gods were mocking me. I got reincarnated into a hardcore romance game that I used to play. That too when the prequel game that I played the most ended twenty-five years ago. A game where death is everyone's mistress. A game that people either liked or hated too much. Now reincarnated into the body of the Villainess's son. I became someone that I hated the most... "Hahaha..." I laughed at my own misery. As if that too wasn't enough, I also became the slave of someone else's desires. Now, one might say a mother is a mother even if the world sees her as a Villainess. But what if your mother is the very incarnation of evil? That your mother is the hurdle that you have to overcome? What if your mother is the very reason you might die? Gentleness and love are the last things one could expect from her. "Hahaha..." Again, a hollow laugh escaped my lips as the realization dawned on me. That I have been... Reincarnated As The Villainess's Son... =============================== [Discord link:- https://discord.gg/5Vgw4JCrBW]

Life... What is life? Who defines it? Who decides it? Who conceives it? The truth is that we all have it. Some of us hate it. Some of us don't want to lose it. To some it's... precious. To others it's a burden, it's misery... it's a threat. Life is too complex for us -no- for mere humans to understand. It isn't our choice. It has never been our choice. It will never be our choice. So basically, the only thing left for us to do is to choose. Choose whether to leave it or live it. Though, it's easier said than done.
