Every Good Rhyme Starts With Once Upon A Time

Desperation is the failure of triumph, the journey of one marked by defeat, the haunting shadow of time misused and opportunities left to decay. Has the time for desperation slipped away, or is it always near? Was my yearning a flaw, or a truth I couldn’t deny? ••• He thought death had taken him. Yet, he found himself breathing, in a place that wasn’t his. He had barely finished the first volume, but what use was it without the chance to use it?

In a chamber where shadows dance with flame, there lies a book with no author's name bound in leather, stitched with time its pages pulse with tales unsaid.

In these two years, with you around, my c*ck hasn’t been lonely.” Her husband had brought an earthling home while she was in isolation! Two years? He was cheating on her all along! “Nuru…?" she cried in disbelief. "You filthy bastard!” He wasn’t caught up in hunting. He caught up fucking an ecstatic female earthling! ---

In his dreams, where he was constantly hunted by celestials and gods filled with wrath, Jiang Feng was sent to death and death again. Just when he thought things would be back to normal once he graduated from his school, he received an invitation from his friends to explore a suspicious yet mysterious tomb in his ancestral cemetery. Guided by his curiosity and unknown force in play, Jiang Feng accepted the invitation to join them. On the agreed day of exploration, however, a heavy rain poured on the lands as Jiang Feng stood alone in the cemetery. Not willing to wait longer, he decided to explore the tomb on his own first to make his trip worthy, unbeknownst to what was about to befall on him... --- I wouldn't say it's the best, but I'll say that it's worth giving a try.
