I was thrown into the solo-developed game If You Wish and decided to struggle to avoid becoming the villainess, who meets a terrible end.

Since I was a child, I always admired characters who moves within the shadows. They aren't the protagonist, nor the antagonist of the story. They can be considered a really important character who will barely appear on the whole series, but their presence itself are so mysterious and relevant to the overarching and jumbled arc of the characters.

Love was never meant for him until Amelia, a woman with a lost past, walks into his life. With no memory of her own, she mistakenly believes Liam is the man she once loved.  His indifference to her makes her more curious, and what starts as a chance meeting ignites something in Liam he never thought possible—desire. But when Amelia’s memories return, so do the lies.  And Liam, who abhors deceit, is left questioning everything. Just when it seems their relationship is crumbling under the weight of betrayal, an unexpected figure—Andrew Monroe, Amelia’s dangerous ex—is determined to reclaim her, pushing Liam to the edge. Will Liam’s walls crumble under the pressure of truth, lies, and deceit, or will Amelia’s secrets be the one thing they can’t recover from?

In high school, he became the school’s top student and the most admired boy, while she struggled to keep up, hoping to be like him just to get his attention. He secretly helped her but never let himself get too close. Then, one day, he left. He received a scholarship abroad and disappeared from her life without a word.

Their worlds have changed, yet fate refuses to keep them apart. Will they finally break free from the misunderstandings that kept them apart for so long? Or is their love truly not meant to be?

Thank you for checking this I hope you like it and Im not sure if someone is reading this or its just bots but I hope you read my work I would definitely recommend my latest episode for reading Summary In a world where chance encounters shape destinies, love stories between young men and women blossom through the power of the written word. At the heart of these tales lies a simple letter—an unassuming piece of paper that binds two souls together, serving as both their beginning and their end. Each letter, exchanged in moments of vulnerability or passion, carries the weight of emotions unspoken, secrets untold, and dreams unfulfilled. For some, it is the key to unlocking a romance that defies time and distance. For others, it is a bittersweet reminder of love lost, fate cruelly tearing them apart. Yet, no matter the outcome, the letter is their string of fate—a thread that weaves through their lives, connecting them in ways they could never have imagined. As these young lovers navigate the complexities of life, they find themselves drawn back to the letter, time and time again, discovering that it holds the answers to their deepest questions. It is the symbol of their connection, the silent witness to their joys and sorrows, and ultimately, the force that guides their hearts toward the inevitable path of destiny

Transmigration. There were many other variants like reincarnation, regression, and even reverse transmigration. Among those, regression were probably my favorite. There was just something satisfying about reliving life once again and doing better than before using knowledge of the future. Perhaps it was so popular because people liked to imagine reliving their life all over again and changing all the decisions they regret. And I had to admit that there was a time that I felt the same. But the days when I would read such a story for weeks were long gone. Except, during the nights I can’t fall asleep. To this day, these stories were still cherished somewhere in my heart. If possible, I'd like to pass my days reading it after an exhausting day at work. But the sudden sharp pain in my head jolted me awake. There was only one thing in my mind right now. It happened to me. That so called Transmigration. - I will also be posting this story on Royal Road and Scribble Hub besides WebNovel!

Naruto Uzumaki’s life takes a dramatic turn when he wakes up in the Soul Society, a realm beyond the living, after an unexplained event seemingly ends his existence in Konoha. Confused and disoriented, he discovers that the world he knew is now out of reach, his parents are gone, and the dreams he spent his entire life chasing—like becoming Hokage—no longer matter. Instead, he is faced with a new reality: becoming a Shinigami, a guardian of souls tasked with protecting the living world from dangerous hollows. As Naruto struggles to adapt to the rules and culture of the Soul Society, his fiery personality and rebellious spirit make him both an asset and a liability to his newfound allies. Along the way, he meets an eclectic group of Shinigami, some who see potential in him and others who view him as an outsider. His abilities as a ninja—chakra manipulation, shadow clones, and raw determination—make him a force to be reckoned with, but they also draw the attention of dangerous adversaries in this new world. Naruto begins to uncover secrets about the Soul Society’s leadership, its hidden ties to the living world, and a conspiracy that may connect his arrival to a catastrophic event threatening both realms. Torn between his loyalty to his old life and his evolving role as a Shinigami, Naruto must make difficult choices that challenge his ideals and force him to redefine what it means to protect those he loves. In the climactic final chapters, Naruto faces a devastating truth about his own death and the sacrifice he must make to ensure peace in both worlds. As he steps into his role as a Shinigami fully, he learns that being a hero is not about titles or recognition—it’s about selflessness, even when it means letting go of everything you once held dear.

WARNING!!! Heavy Violence, Graphic Imagery, Profanities, Discrimination, Racial Slur, Sexual Content, Offensive Jokes, Triggering Content In a rural area of the Philippines, an old man with his grandson lived peacefully in the wilderness. They managed to survive in a forest swarmed with beasts that could take their life away if they weren't aware of their surroundings. They were very far from the nearest residential village that inhabits people resulting in complete isolation from the rest of the world, well not 'that' isolated. Kaya, which means "The ability or capacity to accomplish things" is a 17-year-old boy who loves nothing more but the thrill of adventure. Despite being surrounded by powerful animals in the wild, he stood his ground as the apex predator and ruled all of the beasts. He'd lunge himself in a pack of hyenas and beat them all up with his iron fist, not to kill them but enough to strike fear into their furry hearts. He'd brawl it out on a troop of gorillas each weighing at least 400-500 pounds of pure muscle. Despite only sizing up in 100-200 pounds, he had enough battle prowess to beat the living shit out of these apes. He'd fought against these animals night and day without tiring himself. Despite being covered in battle scars and wounds, he enjoyed the thrill of fighting and adventure. He wants nothing more but freedom and independence. He wasn't a blockhead, he was smart, well not 'book smart' but intellectually smart. If he was placed in a pinch of a dire situation, he'd think of ways to get out of this predicament. This was not due to his intuition, rather, he was molded by his grandfather to have this type of mindset. Though they lived in seclusion, it didn't mean that they were ignorant not to know that there were also others like him. They had a small library of records of human civilization, but the majority of these books were martial arts manuals. They even have tapes to play on their run-down TV, that worked on solar panels, where they got these solar panels? He had no idea, his old man was stingy about this stuff. After leaving the forest and being introduced to a virtual reality game; Haven of God, he will start his adventure by leaving a trail of his legacy and lots and lots of blood. He will become a legend: A force to be reckoned with.
