Side Lunge

Life isn’t fair — it doesn’t always give everyone a second chance. Some lucky souls who do get one, use it to fix their mistakes, mend regrets, and walk a new path in search of a better future. But what if that second chance didn’t go to a hero... but to just another side villain? This is the story of a man who wakes up in a world straight out of a novel — in the body of a minor villain named Edward. Now what? Should he simply follow the script and play the role of a stepping stone for the protagonist? Or will he defy fate and carve out a new path of his own? Will he finally let go of his past life and move forward? Or will he repeat the same mistakes all over again? Join Edward on his journey through a world of magic, danger, and unexpected choices — where even a side villain might get a shot at something more. ************************* This is my very first time writing a novel, and English isn't my first language — so there may be some grammar errors along the way.

Not this time.” Even if his actions changed the story, he wouldn’t walk the same path. He would rewrite Cassian’s fate with his own hands. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* COVER PAGE IS NOT MINE, IF THE CREATOR OF IMAGE WANTS ME TO REMOVE IT.

Inaya Mehta never meant to send the letter. It was 2:43 a.m., Delhi was too loud, her brain was louder, and the pen pal program was supposed to be a joke. But she doesn't expect anyone to reply when she writes out her aching thoughts and hits send. Until he does. Rabin Takahashi doesn’t believe in connection. Not across borders. Not across language. Not across silence. But something in him shifts when a stranger’s letter finds its way into his inbox from halfway across the world. What begins as a single letter becomes a series of late-night exchanges between two souls who’ve never met but somehow know exactly what the other is afraid to say out loud. She writes in metaphors. He replies in quiet honesty. Between time zones, cultures, and emotional walls, Inaya and Rabin start to unravel each other — piece by guarded piece. But how long can words on a screen hold something real? And when they finally meet, will the truth between them be as beautiful… or as broken as the letters that brought them together?
