A mage on death's door, drowning in a sea of regret - that was Darian, a man who chased power only to find it a cruel mistress. He traded his health for fleeting strength, a bargain that led him to a lonely end in a dingy apartment. But as the darkness claimed him, something shifted. He awakens to a scent that shouldn't exist - his mother's baking - and a sight even more impossible: her, alive and young. Is this a twisted afterlife, mocking him with what he lost? Or could this be a second chance, a rewind on a life gone wrong? But why him? And if it is real... what will he change, and at what cost?

Life was easy for Jason. His family wasn’t rich but they never had to worry about money so long as they spent within reason. A new PC? Okay, but don’t spend more than two-thousand dollars. New phone? Okay, keep it for the next 3 to 4 years. Having lived a pampered life where things were pretty much handed to him on a silver platter, life couldn’t have been better. Hanging out with friends, partying, drinking, smoking, he had nothing to worry about. Be that as it may, his parents had raised him well enough to respect others and to not be haughty. As such he had a good personality and was fairly intelligent. Things would change for the worse in his life when one night while out partying with his friends, he decided to take a breather and go for a smoke in an alleyway. ------- This series is posted here, on my alternate account.
