There’s a saying that all real-time games are, in fact, turn-based games. If you consider “doing nothing within infinitely small units of time” as completing a turn, then it’s true.

A kindhearted woman, helping an elderly woman cross the street, was struck by a car. Her instinct to protect the elderly led her to push the woman out of the way, sacrificing herself.

One day, exhausted and broken, she collapsed beneath the shade of an ancient oak tree, the snow falling silently around her.

“Why did you run away from me?” Avery’s breath caught in her throat. That voice—it was familiar. She looked up, her heart pounding, her eyes narrowing as her mind pieced it together. With shaking hands, she reached up and pulled the mask from his face. Prince Adrian’s sharp features were illuminated in the soft glow of the moonlight. His expression was unreadable, but his intense gaze bore into her, searching for answers. Avery gasped, taking a step back. “Prince Adrian…” she stammered. “I—” “You ran,” he interrupted softly, his voice calm but filled with an undercurrent of emotion she hadn’t expected. “You rejected me and fled. Why?” Avery looked into his eyes, her mind racing. The prince, the very same character she had written to be cold, calculating, and utterly uninterested in Celeste, was now standing before her, asking why she had run away from him. Her thoughts were in chaos. None of this made sense. How could he feel this way about her? Celeste was never meant to be his choice. It was supposed to be Evelisse. *** After the successful debut of her bestselling book, Avery Clarke faced a tragic death that transmigrated her into one of the characters of her book. Was she the protagonist or the heroine of the novel? Hell, no. Avery was none other than the villainess, Lady Celeste Duvernay. However, there’s a twist. Prince Adrian, who was supposed to marry the love of his life, Evelisse while Celeste suffered them, broke off his engagement with Evelisse and announced his proposal to marry Celeste instead.  Avery didn’t want to accept that fate but she had no choice, the game of royalty was so strong to escape. With a new resolution, Avery made her own choice… she would marry prince Adrian but what was her goal… to make him hate her like he did in the book and reconcile with his betrothed love, Evelisse.

"Fear is the unknown. The uncertainty of what lies ahead, the dark spaces where shadows dance and whispers linger. For me, fear wasn’t death or failure—it was the echo of a life left behind and a new one uncertain and slippery. Reborn as a slime, I became the lowest of the low, the first target of every adventurer’s blade. Funny thing, though: it’s not the fear of being squished that keeps me up at night. It’s not knowing why I’m here or what I’m supposed to do. When a desperate escape led me to stumble upon a dead demon, everything changed. Absorbing its essence granted me abilities I barely understand, powers that came with strings attached. Now, people beg me to full-fill their dark, twisted wishes—each one revealing the depths of human greed and the cost of power. But here’s the kicker: I’m not even a real demon. And every wish brings me closer to a purpose I can’t quite grasp, yet further from the simple survival I once craved. In a world where every action is a gamble and every choice a potential disaster, my only option is to keep moving forward. After all, what’s life—slimy or otherwise—without a little uncertainty?"
