Her fingers itched to tear it apart, to make this nightmare disappear. But deep down, she knew that wouldn’t change anything. “I don’t remember,” she whispered, more to herself than to him. “I don’t remember any of it.” Blake nodded as if he had expected this reaction. “That is expected. You had a lot to drink last night.” he fished out a phone from the back pocket of his trousers, opened it. “Here, this is us celebrating, after we got married last night,” he said, showing her a picture. Delilah’s breath caught in her throat as she stared at the photo. It was indeed her. “How?” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “I don’t remember any of this.” “It was a wild night,” he said softly. Perhaps she had married Blake because he was wealthy. That would be the only logical reason for her to make such a blunder. There was hope, she thought, as she clung to the possibility of salvaging something from this disaster. Turning to him, she forced a smile, “Is this your house? Are we in your house?” She asked, looking around the bedroom. Blake shook his head, “No. This is a hotel,” he said, and she nodded. “I see. It looks like quite an expensive hotel,” she observed, “What do you do for a living?” she asked, trying to keep her voice steady as she searched his eyes for any hint of affluence. Blake hesitated, his confident demeanor faltering for the first time. He looked away, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’m... in between jobs,” he stuttered, avoiding her gaze. Delilah’s heart sank, disappointment crashing over her like a wave. “In between jobs?” she echoed, her voice tinged with disbelief. Blake seemed to sense her dismay. “I know it doesn’t sound great,” he said quickly, trying to reassure her. “But I’m working on a few things. I just need a little more time.” “You’re jobless,” she muttered to herself as reality sunk in. “How did you pay for this room? For the wedding bands?” She asked, and he winced. “I didn’t. You did,” he said, and she collapsed on the bed. (PS: Cover photo isn’t mine. Credit to the real owner)

Donovia A world of swords and magic. A world a we’re Mages’ farts can change the geography of countries and Swordsmen more skilled than Captain Levi molesting the Beast Titan, and to add insult to injury can run at speeds so fast that they take the “bolt” in “lightning bolt” and shit on it… Anyways our MC has been summoned into this world alongside the cliche group of Japanese class of highschoolers to “Save the World” from the Demon King. However it seems that nothing is at straightforward, or to according to the MC it isn’t… P.S. The image isn’t mine I just poached it of google so credits go to whoever made the image P.P.S. Everything (except the some of MCs abilities) in this story is my own creation. Even the shitty world-building is mine, however, i will Endeavour to improve it P.P.P.S. MC is kinda a bit Chaotic-Neutral kinda edgy. His bottom-line is low but not that low so don’t be surprised if he sees starving kids on the verge of death only hanging on because of that little crumb of stale bread they ate in the morning, stops, stares at them and decides that they aren’t worth it and continues on his merry way. No type of earthly morals gunna get in his way(unless he decides to) and also this is not spoiling so don’t get your panties in a twist.

"When there's nothing left to hide, only truth remains."

What would happen if a demon was given another chance at life? He could pursue what he once longed for, the dreams that slipped away in his previous existence. He could tread carefully, avoiding the pitfalls that had led to his downfall. He could live with purpose, embracing each moment fully, free from the weight of regret. But was his rebirth truly so simple? The one who orchestrated his return must have had their own reasons. Their intentions were veiled in shadow, their motives unknown. Was this a benevolent act, or a cunning trap? Could the demon truly fulfill his desires this time, or would he fail once more, doomed to repeat his mistakes? And what of the one who held the strings? Would the demon escape their grasp, carving his own destiny, or would he remain ensnared, bound to their will like a puppet on a stage? His second chance was no gift—it was a gamble, a test of will and strength. The path ahead was fraught with challenges, each step heavier than the last. Would he break free and claim the life he craved, or would he fall again, a slave to forces beyond his control? The answers lay in the choices he would make. And this time, he vowed, he would choose wisely—or die trying.
