Second Time Around

After years of exhausting work as an editor, constantly meeting impossible deadlines and dealing with frustrating clients, he finally reached the finish line—his long-awaited vacation.

Lock himself inside his house, watch his favorite shows, playing video games, sleep to his heart’s content, and embrace a life of pure relaxation. But just as he was about to enjoy the bliss of doing absolutely nothing… he woke up somewhere else. Not just anywhere—but in another world, inside the body of a young noble boy. And not just any noble boy—the second son of a Marquis, notorious for his laziness and bad reputation. Great. Just great. Yet, instead of questioning the absurdity of his situation, he did what he did best—ignored everything and went back to sleep. Unfortunately, the world refused to let him be. --- [System installed...] [Congratulations, Host! You have been chosen as the new candidate of this world.] [Please complete the following task to finish the quest and receive a reward.] [Warning: Failure to complete the quest within the time limit will result in consequences.] [...] [...] [...Host?] [Didn’t you hear what I said?] [WAKE UP!] Zzzzz… And so, his peaceful days were over before they even began. Now, with an annoying system breathing down his neck, a family that already expects nothing from him, and a world filled with power struggles and danger, all he wants is to laze around. But will the world really let him?

The light of the fireplace cast long shadows on the wall, the fire reflected in the eyes of the woman sitting on the couch with a blanket over her shoulders.

She had thought she was different from the rest, leave it to reality to smack her back to her senses.

Authors note: As a kid my dad will always sit us down at night, outside, in the darkness and tell us the most delightful stories of kingdoms long passed, Princesses and princes, magical creatures, much to the delight of us kids. But there's not much of that nowadays. So I want to share these delightful stories with everyone and I hope by doing this, these stories will not get lost in the sands of time.
