Kong Versus Godzilla

She loved once. It destroyed her. She won’t make the same mistake again. Mizuki Wolfe should have had it all—the perfect love, the perfect life. But love, as she learned, was nothing more than a cruel illusion. In her first life, she gave her heart to the wrong man, trusted the wrong people, and paid the ultimate price. When she died, she carried nothing but regrets. Then she woke up—alive. A second chance. A new life. And this time, she knows better. Now, Mizuki has one rule: never fall in love again. She walks away from her engagement to billionaire Pablo Rossi without a second thought. She plays matchmaker, ensuring he ends up with someone else. The world watches in shock, but no one dares to ask the real question—why? Because if they did, they’d never believe the answer. Then came HIM. A rockstar with a voice that sends shivers down her spine. A pair of mismatched eyes—one gold, one blue—that seem to see everything. K is the kind of man who sings of soulmates, who believes in fated love as if it’s a force stronger than time itself. And the moment he lays eyes on Mizuki, he knows. She is his. But Mizuki doesn’t believe in fate. She’s lived this life before, and she refuses to repeat the same mistakes. Only… fate doesn’t seem to care what she believes. And neither does he. A battle of heart versus destiny. A love that wasn’t supposed to happen—again. Will Mizuki’s walls finally break, or will K learn that even soulmates can slip through fate’s fingers? A story of second chances, soulmates, and the impossible fight against destiny. ---------------------------------------------- “Miss Mizuki,” he greeted, his voice deep and smooth, the kind of voice that belonged in an expensive whiskey commercial—or better yet, a lover’s whisper. Mizuki blinked. Then again. Her mouth opened to respond, but what emerged was less “hello” and more “garbled wheeze.” Lizbeth, her ever-loyal assistant, jabbed her sharply in the ribs. “Hey,” she whispered, her tone sly, “I think the leading man just fell in love with you at first sight.” “Shh!” Mizuki hissed, her face heating up. She tried to regain her footing, figuratively and literally, but managed only to trip over her own feet. She lurched forward, arms flailing in what she hoped looked like an intentional movement. K, lightning-quick, caught her before disaster struck. His hands were firm yet gentle as they steadied her. Up close, those stunning eyes were even more hypnotic, and the faint scent of cedar and rain seemed to linger around him. “Are you all right?” he asked, his lips quirking into a smile that somehow managed to be both kind and devastatingly alluring. Mizuki’s brain short-circuited. She realized she was still clutching his arms and yanked herself back so fast she almost stumbled again. Lizbeth leaned closer, whispering gleefully, “You okay? Your heart’s racing.” “I want to run,” Mizuki muttered, barely moving her lips. “What?” Lizbeth asked, her grin widening. “I want to run,” Mizuki repeated in a fierce whisper. “Far away. To another country, maybe.” Lizbeth snickered. “Flight at first sight, huh?” “Yes!” Mizuki hissed, shooting a panicked glance at K, who was still watching her like she was the only thing worth noticing in the entire room. His gaze was so warm, so intense, it could have melted steel—and definitely her composure. She shot a look at Lizbeth, who was no help at all, and then at the nearest exit. She was already planning her escape. Update Schedule: Start February 14, 2024 Update: daily at midnight follow me on IG: @schreient_rui Like the story? gimme coffee :D https://ko-fi.com/schreient

In a future world where artificial intelligence and cyber technology have deeply intertwined, a young freshman, Liam, enters Ravenwick Theological Seminary, a prestigious institution dedicated to training future AI regulators and virtual crime investigators. However, what should have been the beginning of an academic journey quickly descends into a nightmare filled with conspiracy, betrayal, and hidden truths. A Shrouded Past and a Massacre Shrouded in Mystery On his very first night at the academy, Liam is ambushed—his memories targeted by advanced technology in an attempted extraction. To his horror, the attack bears an uncanny resemblance to the method used in the brutal murder of his adoptive parents and younger sister. The perpetrator? Sophia, the AI nanny who once cared for him with warmth and tenderness. Before being terminated, Sophia left behind a single clue: the name Ravenwick Theological Seminary—an undeniable link between Liam’s past and this enigmatic institution. Liam quickly realizes that his adoption was far from ordinary. Even his own memories may harbor a secret—one so dangerous that someone is willing to kill to obtain it. The Watchful Eyes of the Dark Forces and a Countdown to Death Within the academy, Liam crosses paths with Matthew, a former criminal investigator with a deceptively carefree demeanor but a razor-sharp intellect, and Professor Daniel, a highly esteemed scholar in AI ethics and virtual crime studies. Determined to uncover the truth, they turn to Infinity Haven—a virtual world capable of replaying memories and even granting digital immortality. Through this, they attempt to piece together the hidden fragments of Liam’s past. But their investigation does not go unnoticed. A powerful and elusive enemy lurking within the academy is watching, ready to strike. Liam soon finds himself hunted within Infinity Haven, ambushed by an unknown adversary capable of exploiting the system’s deepest vulnerabilities. Such a feat could only be accomplished by someone with immense power and influence. At the heart of it all lies Lumora Technologies, the multinational conglomerate that developed and controls Infinity Haven. But what true secrets lie behind its polished corporate façade? A Clash Between Reality and Illusion—A Destiny Rewritten As the investigation deepens, Liam and his allies find themselves embroiled in a conflict that extends far beyond academia—a battle against a corporate giant with far-reaching influence. Alongside Grace, Matthew, and others, Liam begins to forge an unbreakable bond, their skills and fates intertwined as they edge closer to the ultimate truth. Yet, this war is not confined to the virtual realm. In the real world, a grander conspiracy brews in the shadows. As Matthew and Grace dig deeper, they soon realize they are not just facing hackers and infiltrators—they are walking straight into a meticulously designed death trap. What truth lies buried within Liam’s memories? Who is orchestrating this intricate game from the shadows? What is the true purpose of Ravenwick Theological Seminary? And most importantly—is Liam truly just an ordinary student?

Tik tak. Tik tak. Tanging tunog ng orasan ang nangingibabaw sa tahimik na bahay—isang tahimik na nakakabingi, na para bang bumabalot sa bawat sulok ng silid. Parang musika ito ng kawalan, ngunit imbes na paginhawahin, lalo lamang nitong pinapalakas ang kabog ng aking dibdib. Tik tak. Parang pinipiga ang aking puso, bawat segundo, bawat saglit, paulit-ulit, na tila pinapaalala ang bigat na matagal ko nang dinadala. Hindi ko na kayang pigilan pa. Kumawala na ang aking mga luha, kasabay ng hiningang tila mabigat na bato sa aking dibdib. Bumagsak ang mga patak na parang ulan sa pisngi kong hindi na sanay ngumiti. Minsan naiisip ko, paano nga ba ako napunta sa ganitong sitwasyon? Ang sakit—nakakapaso, nakakasakal—hindi ito basta lungkot lang, kundi isang matinding kalungkutan na nagpapahina sa aking mga tuhod. Araw-araw, pilit akong bumabangon, pilit tinatawid ang mga oras, pero habang ginagawa ko ito, lalong lumalalim ang sugat. Nasasaktan ako, hindi lamang dahil sa mga nangyari, kundi dahil sa awa ko sa aking sarili. Sino ba namang hindi maaawa kung araw-araw, pinipilit kong ngumiti kahit wala nang natitirang dahilan para sumaya? Ngunit kahit anong mangyari, kahit anong sakit ang idulot nito, isa lang ang sigurado ko: Ikaw at ikaw lamang ang aking mamahalin. Walang makakapalit sa'yo. Sa kabila ng lahat, sa kabila ng mga gabing binubulabog ng tahimik na pag-iyak, ikaw pa rin ang laman ng puso kong durog na durog na. Hays… Nawa’y dumating ang araw na ang tik tak ng orasan ay maging musika ng pag-asa. Pero sa ngayon, ito muna ang aking mundo—isang tahimik na silid, isang pusong nagdurugo, at isang pagmamahal na kahit kailan ay hindi ko kayang bitawan.
