Enrapturement

This is a rewrite of the previous novel by the same name. Just re-doing some of the plot because I was pretty unsatisfied with it and restarting was easier than editing entire chapters. - Enno 'I've seen suffering, and these people haven't even witnessed what it truly is. The true face of suffering comes in the form of the ones you trust the most. It lurks underneath your shadows, in your past. Hiding beneath the surface, just waiting to enrapture you. None of these students see it. They don't understand it as I do. It's not as simple as they seem to think. A killer on the loose scares them, but the look of disdain their parents give them after every failed test doesn't even phase them. Really, they should all be worried about what goes on behind closed doors. Aruna's father is a cheater, lying and gambling his way to fame. Takue's mother drowns her sorrows in liquor, attempting to forget her husband's suicide. Ayato's sister sleeps with a different guy every day in a desperate attempt to hold together her failing life. True suffering, the essence of which can't even be looked at in the eyes, hides from them, and they're too scared to even look it in the eyes.' I slammed my journal closed. I couldn't have spaced out for more than a few minutes. Guilt weighs on my mind, but I shove it down nonetheless. Emotions are worthless, set in place by a God that doesn't even care for you. Ahh...I guess school starts soon. Oh well, it'll be at least somewhat interesting, maybe.

The Original title of this Novel was called: "Secrets of the Lonely" however, I am currently in the process of re-writing most of the novel's plot to be quite different. The name of the novel however, will remain the same. You can find another book written by me with this same synopsis and an actual cover. It will say it's the rewrite in the synopsis.

''Why does my heart beat when I'm with you? How come my heart feels pain when your with someone? What is this feeling?'' A man ask while looking at the flustered Wang Xiu. ''Your elegance made me like you, but your flaws made me fall hardly in love with you.'' He said while wiping Wang Fang's tears away. "I only met you once but my heart already longs for you.'' A certain man looked at Wang Yan's eyes. ''I never thought that I would fall in love. I thought love could only make you feel pain, but why am I so happy just looking at your eyes?'' A man held Wang Li's hand while happiness is visibly shown on his face. ''Your coldness, your boldness, and your wit. They enraptured me. How can I escape from this grasp?'' A sincere man confessed to Wang Jing.

After years of being tortured and imprisoned by hunters, Lyra was finally freed. But out of the pan and into the fire. She had a terrifying history in her new pack, but luckily no one seemed to recognize her… yet. In order to stay alive she needs to look ordinary, act meek and be disregarded. She must remain unseen. Especially from the one who wanted her dead. The man who was now the Alpha of Gibbous Peak pack. Yet, can this kind of freedom really be called living? How long can she hope to stay alive, right under her antagonist’s nose? Will she lose her composure, yielding to her instincts? Or worse, she might willingly expose herself to her forbidden, fated mate. ***** Alpha Cedric was leaning languidly in his chair, eating slowly. He was absentmindedly scanning the room then returning to his plate without bothering with those around him. Fortunately, there was no aura of displeasure to put off the mood. It was unclear if he was bored or relaxed. Perhaps he was simply tired from the work and journey he returned from. A voluptuous woman approached him, deliberately leaning in to expose the deep cleavage of her violet camisole. The Alpha’s lack of expression didn’t discourage her as she smiled and tucked a few silky black curls behind her ear. Her fingers grazed his shoulder and bicep. Thick red lips were smoothly forming drowned out words. Her face flushed a pink when the Alpha looked her way and she continued to bat her eyes in a blatantly flirtatious manner. Her spine was slithering like a dancing snake, optimally displaying her curves. Her act was increasing in boldness with her fingers tracing over his collar and to the edge of his hair. Alpha Cedric remained unmoving, which was the same as granting permission. She was not the first, the last, nor the boldest to approach the desirable man. Few were foolish enough to aim for his mate, but who wouldn’t want a passionate romp with the powerful, young Alpha? Pleased, she flashed a smile before sensually biting her lower lip. Lyra swallowed her dry tongue. A dull ache in her chest was squeezing her lungs. She had the sudden urge to throw that temptress out through the window then scold the Alpha for his complacency. A well-timed, friendly ruckus from a nearby table reeled her from her rude staring and ridiculous daydream. She quickly suppressed the vibration that was humming in her chest before it erupted as a growl. You’ll get caught! Her wolf echoed in her mind. Keep your eyes down. Lyra rolled her eyes. Loba was enraptured with the view, just as much as she was. But there was no need to call her out on it. They were, after all, the same person. In any case, she was making a vital point. More than proximity, her blatantly doltish behavior was how she would lose her neck. ***** This is the new version. If you recognize some parts from the original, please don't skip, there's more details and content!

From our earliest days, we have revered the heroes, admiring their virtuous deeds and unwavering moral compass, embracing the light they embody. Yet, as we journey through the labyrinth of adulthood, we come to understand the villains, their motivations, and the profound truth that heroes and villains are two facets of the same intricate coin. Each is bound by their own set of morals, forged by the crucible of their experiences and beliefs. In this interplay of light and shadow, our collective morality, once seen as an immutable beacon, reveals its fragile nature.

In the tapestry of Eternum's narrative, the fragility of life unfolds, illuminating the darkness that can encroach even upon the brightest stars. It beckons us to contemplate the intricacies of our existence and confront the profound questions that lie dormant within us. Laughter, cold and sinister, echoes through the void.

The value of life is what one gives it. Perhaps by the sublime path which gives us thought, the ancient will? Or the benign soul within, growing alongside us? The impuls which affets our ideals and leads us onto stimulation. The neverending pain, offspring of desire without action. The duality of empathy and apathy. We gaze while legacy builds on, a murky lake of order which no distinction to black or white. Who will be able to live, endlessly protecting order while acting reckless in an attempt to escape their fate? Five paths to reach a pinnicle. With embelishments of a semblance of order, unnerving comedy and enrapturing desire. Who? Who can truly live?

Every story contains a Hero and a Villain. The one who saves the world by killing those he loves, and the one who would rather kill the world to save those he holds dear. However, unbeknownst to either one of them, they were nothing but mere puppets playing along to the tune of the Gods. Heralds that see enjoyment in their futile dance, without rupturing the laws that hold them. Unable to interfere with the world directly. That was the main synopsis of the game, [Garden of Eden]. The fight between humans, which transcended into a war opposing the Gods. A battle, that may or may not destroy the world depending on the actions of the User. The one who controls the strings of fate themselves. It was one nutjob of a game, containing various heroines - ranging from Yanderes to Kuuderes - whilst also posessing an intriguing plot that captures your attention. To the point where it was nominated as Game of the Year. However, due to a certain incident, the game declined to the point where I was the only player left. Unwilling to abandon the place that I was so dearly attached to. Until I reached that destined ending. Well, that should've been the case. ...If I didn't transmigrate into this forsaken plot, where Gods live among Men. And out of all people, it was a mob with no history or background. Alas, what's done is done. What else could I do in the realm that may be shattered? I have no other choice but to save myself. Unironically, the only way to do that is to become someone who can be on par with God - To be the chain that binds them. I'm willing to go any way for my survival, even...if it meant to oppose those who are enraptured within their last dance. --- Check Out: I really, really didn't mean to confess to the Heroines!
