To live a second life, did she have to endure the abuse of her stepmother and stepsister again, the dislike of her mother-in-law and disdain from her sister-in-law, and the betrayal of her best friend who bravely became the other woman just to slap her in the face and climb the social ladder?

[You have inherited The Class Huntsman Of Death.] Deathborne. An RPG that I couldn’t stop playing in my free time.  A game that hooked me to the core. A game that I was determined to finish and achieve the true happy ending by hook or crook. Why? Because no matter what choices I made, no matter how much I tried, it always ended with a bad ending. Not the bad ending in the traditional sense where the world comes to an end, but something worse. The protagonist would win, yes, but only at the unacceptable cost—sacrifices so immense that they left humanity and the world broken. And honestly? I didn't like it. Would you enjoy a movie, novel, or game that ends with only the protagonist surviving? Neither could I. That's why I tried my hardest and kept trying. Alas, despite all my efforts, I have yet to reach the true end but… Until today… It started just like any normal day for me. I returned home, greeted my mother, had my lunch, and was about to start yet another grind. Just as I was about to start, my screen flashed with a blood-red message: [Congratulations, player Mr. Per781, for clearing all hidden conditions. You are now eligible to access the hidden route, as deemed by the game developer.]  [Do you want to proceed?]  [Yes] [No]  Before I could even think about my answer, a hand emerged from the screen and pulled me into the game. And when I regained consciousness, I wasn't myself anymore.  I was in the body of a side character as Lukas Star, one of the weakest and nearly forgotten Hunter of the Archeon Academy.

The rod was cast into the river of dreams. Every few nights, he would unknowingly take the bait. Every few nights, the fisherman reeled him in closer, but never hauled him out of the river. Every few nights, he would struggle, thrashing against the hook until he broke free. Yet, all efforts were futile. Until a particular night came, and his world of darkness crumbled. The fisherman was gone, and the bait was free.

Growing up is a symphony of endings and beginnings, a delicate balance between heartbreak and self-discovery. "Ashes and Echoes" is a collection of poetry that captures the raw, unfiltered emotions of young adulthood: the first loves that set your world on fire, wishful thinking, and the bittersweet journey of finding yourself in the wreckage of the world. Through lyrical verse and intimate storytelling, these poems explore the restless nights, the unanswered messages, the weight of the world, and defiant hope and nostalgia that comes with healing. Each page is a reflection of what it means to love recklessly, to break beautifully, and to rise from the ashes of who you once were. For anyone who has ever felt lost, for those learning to stand on their own, "Ashes and Echoes" is a reminder that this is not the end, but it’s the beginning of something even more powerful: you.

"I'm only going to ask you this once, so you better tell me the fucking truth." She tenses up. "A-About what?" "Did you fuck someone else?" Frozen in place, my mouth goes dry, and I have a hard time forming words. I'm not sure how he found out, but I'm scared to move. I just had his cock in my mouth and now I'm being questioned about sleeping with Dimitri. Every time we get to a point where we aren't arguing, something else brings us right back to square one. ********************************************************** 25 year old Sienna Williams hooks up with a handsome stranger.
