Does anyone expect to see DEATH on their birthday? No. She neither. But she saw. And not just one or two but the death of her entire family. She like anyone else also wanted to enjoy that special day when she was supposed to be the happiest. Her Birthday. But it turned out to be one of the saddest and most painful days of her life. Then what? She was supposed to feel devastated and have a trauma that would take ages to get used to right? But alas! The poor child did not even have time to grieve. Another tragedy hit her. After losing her family she was only left with her best buddy. But as luck would have it she also lost her in the most cruel way possible. A second trauma scarred the life of the tiny child who had just reached the age to understand the world. But that was still not the end. It looked like she was in the middle of a tragic ocean where wave after wave of miserable experiences crashed into her one after another. On top of that, she seemed to be some kind of evil force that sucked the life out of everyone who showed her kindness. Thus at the age of five, she learnt her lesson to be independent in the harshest ways possible from Life. But those experiences made the once helpless and weak girl, the strong, independent and powerful woman she is today, Olivia Basu. Since then she kept all her actions in control until that one encounter at VN High School during her mission as an undercover student named Ankita Dey. ______________ This story consists of several side couples some of whom belong to the LGBTQ+ community.

Synopsis: Lu Chunhe was just an ordinary shut-in from Earth—cowardly, risk-averse, and content with a life of mediocrity. But when he wakes up in the broken, battered body of a notorious fraud in a world of ruthless cultivators, survival becomes his only priority. The original owner of this body was a con artist—an imposter who stole the identity of a noble young master, infiltrated a powerful sect, and spent his days abusing his status. But arrogance has a price, and after provoking the wrong people, he was beaten to death and discarded like trash. Now, trapped in a body on the brink of collapse, Lu Chunhe barely has time to process his situation before a terrifying vision strikes him—a glimpse of the future where the very sect he now belongs to is annihilated in a brutal war. With enemies all around and no allies to rely on, Lu Chunhe does the only thing he can: he runs. He flees the sect, convinced he has outsmarted fate. But fate refuses to let him go. A system—cold, relentless, and bound to his very existence—whispers in his mind, forcing him onto a path of destruction. [Death Event Triggered: Return to the Sect.] No matter how far he runs, the system drags him back, pushing him toward the death flag he so desperately wants to escape. Lu Chunhe isn't a hero. He isn't a warrior. He just wants to live. But against a system that exists only to kill him, survival may be the hardest thing of all.

Ten years ago, the world was captivated by a groundbreaking VR MMORPG, a fully immersive experience that allowed players to step into the shoes of legendary heroes in a realm of magic and wonder. For a decade, they built their lives, forged their identities, and left their marks on what they thought was just a game. But when the servers shut down, the truth shattered everything. The game world wasn’t just a virtual reality, it was a fabricated timeline, a fragile imitation of the true Magic world . And now, the countdown has begun. The players, ripped from their lives on Earth and the simulation, find themselves in the Magic World, ten years younger but burdened with all the memories of the game and their old lives. Their in-game personas, once vibrant and driven by purpose, are now hollow shells, unable to act on their own. Even worse, Earth’s timeline fragile and unprotected has been paused, and its collapse is inevitable. To prevent disaster, the 10 Originals, the most renowned players of the game, must rise once more. But this time, there are no systems to guide them, no respawns, and no safety nets. The high realm is real, its dangers far deadlier than any raid boss. And as the countdown ticks away, inconsistencies between the worlds begin to unravel reality itself. Thrown into a world they don’t fully understand, hunted by their own past mistakes, and racing against time to stop the collapse of Earth’s timeline, the Originals must uncover the secrets of the game’s creation and find a way to stabilize the Magic World. The clock is ticking, and the fate of three worlds rests on their shoulders. Will the Originals be able to fix the chaos they caused, or will everything they fought for crumble into nothingness?
