Deuxième Chance

“Manuel Salazar, you are under arrest for the disappearance of Mrs. Cassidy Jones," the police officer said as he handcuffed me. Manuel Salazar is a sex worker, a male prostitute who fucks the wives of the most popular men in Manhattan. He was the last person to see Cassidy alive after they spent the night at their usual spot, but he didn't kill her; he was being framed, but who would believe him? No body, no murder weapon, just a hotel room covered in blood and his DNA all over. He has to prove his innocence or risk going to prison for a crime he didn't commit. His lawyer Jill Baker is one of the best criminal attorneys in New York, and she suspects foul play, she is his only chance to walk away acquitted of all charges. The clock is ticking. Will they solve this crime in time?

He entered their house as a boy with no past. Now, he returns as the man who will rewrite all their futures. Found on the edge of death with no memory of who he is and where he came from, Jordan Jefferson was taken in by Ezra Bennett—a man who gave him shelter, love, and a second chance at life. But that kindness came with a price. Divorced, stabbed and left for dead by his ex-mother-in-law and ex-wife, Jordan is saved by a woman who carries the same mysterious mark on her neck—a mark that will unlock the truth about his bloodline, his legacy, and his power. Now, the same people who treated him like trash will kneel before him. The ones who tried to bury him will face the storm they created. Because Jordan Jefferson is no longer a shadow in their house… He is the last heir of the Onyx Keepers. And he has come to take everything they took from him.

A nerdy engineer was brutally murdered with regrets in his heart.

I was born during the pandemic and it was not over for the past twenty-five years. Oceans were drained. Trees and flowers were no longer existing. Having water was harder each day that many people chose to die instead of surviving. I envy those people who could afford water— the rich ones and the most privileged people around the world. Poor people liked me were not allowed to get water more than what was intended for us. In other words, it was a system that dividing the rich people with limitless water sources and the poor people with limited water sources. It was a system that we needed to obey or else we might lose the life we were struggling to survive. I wanted to surrender but there was only thing that hindered me from dying— Cardinals of Auresia. It was an online game that I wished was real. There, I could build my own kingdom with my own system. I thought that sanity left me for it seemed real to me. Not until I found out that it was the solution for the suffering of the world.

"Mother," I opened my eyes. Everything around me is a haze. I gazed at the candlelight. It was wobbling from side to side. I noticed a woman seated near me, but everything was fuzzy. I heard a voice unexpectedly. It was a woman's voice, echoing in my ear. She was singing a low-toned lullaby. "Mother, is it you?" I heard my name, "Maxilin, I am here." "Mother," I said with a tremble in my voice. I have no idea what's wrong with me. I reached out cautiously to touch her, but she was out of my reach. "Where are you, mother?" "Oh, my beloved, try to hold me, come here, " "Mother," Maxilin tried to stand up, but he was too weak. Maxi narrowed his eyes in an effort to see her face clearly, but he couldn't because everything was fuzzy. A woman in a white outfit moved in front of his sight. Maxi took a few steps forward while still gripping the chair. "Mother, don't leave," he murmured, dizzily. As he said, he saw in his fuzzy vision that someone had opened the door. "Mother, please don't leave me," Maxilin pleaded. He let go of the chair's hold and dashed behind her. "Mother, don't leave me. Wait." In his frail state, he shouted and followed her. "Huf". In the middle of his path, he stopped. "Mother, you've left me here alone," "Maxi," he heard the voice unexpectedly. Maxi glanced up and looked around. It's all clear now, but he's stuck in the midst of the woods. He gazed up at the sky. A giant moon was staring at him, and a horde of deadly, voracious creatures were roaring around him. "Son," someone touched his shoulder, he looked back, saw a terrifying creature standing in front of him. "Hello, dear."

After an unexpected accident cut his life short, Elias found himself reincarnated in a completely different realm, thanks to the whim of a celestial being seeking to right a cosmic mistake. As a form of compensation, the deity granted Elias a second chance in a fantastical land teeming with sorcery, mythical beasts, and blade-wielding warriors. However, this new world was far from ideal. Trapped in a time resembling Earth's distant past, it lacked modern conveniences—no electricity, no sanitation systems, and certainly none of the technology Elias had once taken for granted. Luckily, the divine gift came with a twist: a powerful enhancement and a digital companion known as Nexus-1, a hyper-intelligent AI. Armed with this advantage, Elias began reshaping the world around him. Drawing inspiration from the comforts of his former life, and blending it with the limitless potential of magic, he set out to build a civilization more advanced—and more magical—than anything he'd known before.

I was nothing, useless to everyone. No one loved me, no one truly wanted to be with me. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared before my eyes. I had forgotten basically everything about my old self. What have I truly lost? I was summoned to another world. This was my second chance. I was brought to the other world to protect Lucia, a weak, airheaded princess, who was meant to be the next ruler of the land. She didn't accept anyone else, why did she accept me?

At the dawn of the journey of my life I found myself within a dark forest. In a world where violence was common, and with a destiny that wanted me dead.

After seven years of bloodbath, the most decorated soldier returns to the capital.“Whatever was taken from me, I will take back a thousand fold!”
