She patiently experiences the freedom she craves, the long journey that copes with her phase by phase, love, heartbreak, friendships, etc. But the string that tight Lysanders together is too strong, called it fate, past, or rage, whatever it may be, dragging her back repeatedly. "I don't know what freedom really is anymore. I just want to live a life and do whatever I want. I crave it so much, but after I met him, he made me find my other self that I never thought I could be. I enjoy every minute with him. It's just—staying with him—being with him. That makes me not want to look or seek other things anymore. Perhaps he is my freedom." Killa says, 'I couldn’t believe what she had said to me, not just her past but knowing her feelings. I couldn’t care less about what she had done. Even the past was haunting us, but my heart and mind, body and soul seemed to focus on her, only for her.' Eamon thought,

From the dawn of time, the boundary between Heaven and Hell had been clearly fined. Once every thousand years, the Day of Judgement - the day when supreme justice is carried out, when the souls of mortals are judged, and when the order of the world is forever altered - takes place. The gates of Heaven always remain open for righteous souls, those who hold unwavering faith in the light. Meanwhile, sinners must pay the price for their crimes, cast into the depths of Hell, whether they want to deny or escaped from the truth. However, God is merciful to those who sincerely repent and strive to refairn from committing forbidden acts. They will be considered for absolution in the next Day of Judgement. Yet, it's difficult to abandon cruelty when it has seeped into one's very blood. From desperate attempts to escape Hell to uprisings in the mortal realm and even in Heaven, chaos was inevitable. Then they appeared - the first demons born from Hell - who made the choice to fight along side Heaven. And, of course, there were conditions. They crush the rebels, asserted dominance over them and gradually became the ruler of Hell. They came to be know as a family of fierce, determined and powerful Hellborn - yet ones who still retained their conscience - the Darker Family.

"Back to the past" Have you heard it often? Do you think it's real or just imagination? If you experienced it, what would you do? I'm Vivian Lithia Estien, an ordinary high school student and that night... someone killed me. When I opened my eyes, I went back to a few months before the incident. Now I'm determined to find my killer and take revenge!!! But.... the more I dig into the truth, the more I realize that the real truth is much more terrifying than I imagined.

Well, if someone told me reincarnation was real, I would laugh in their face. I would have said, Reincarnation are all dreams of losers, me included, who are not content with their life and want to escape reality. Many people would be happy to travel back in time, but I wasn't. Why reincarnate in this world of suffering when you are already dead? I've read a lot of novels about people reincarnating and being extremely happy, saying "Since I'm back from the future, I'm determined to make a difference in this world". That's some funny stuff they always say. But if they really came from the future, they would know there's no use trying to change the world because it will be the same as before! Let me tell you something: reality is different from fantasy. What people fail to realize is that, when you reincarnate into the past it will be difficult to make a difference in this world. If you are not extremely lucky, what you can achieve is changing your life course from before reincarnation. Let me give you an example if you still don't get it Let's say an average person who struggles every day to get something to eat and doesn't involve himself in the world too much. For example, reading the news, checking forex, and trading. How can a person like this make a difference at the world level? Their only responsibility is not to repeat the same mistakes they made before reincarnation. Ace Raynott, who reincarnated into the past by chance, faces questions about how he can change things when he knows nothing about this world except that he has to survive...

Perfection is the ultimate goal. To win, to control, to shape destiny itself-this is the path I have chosen. Every mistake is erased, every step calculated, every obstacle bent to my will. I refuse to accept failure. But no matter how many times I try, some things remain beyond reach. No matter how much I struggle, there are forces that refuse to bend. Fate, unyielding and absolute, whispers that some things are simply meant to be. So I ask myself-am I the master of my own destiny, or merely a pawn in a game I can never truly control?
