I Will Never Be Yours

"You think you can stop me, Aiden? You're nothing but a pawn in this game." Malrik's voice echoed through the cold, sterile darkness of the virtual world, laced with malice. "In The Abyss, I am the ruler. And you will fall, just like everyone else." Aiden Cross never wanted to return to The Abyss. But when his sister’s mysterious death resurfaces in the form of a cryptic message, he’s pulled back into the deadly virtual world he tried to escape. Now, he must navigate shifting alliances, face dangerous enemies, and confront a hidden AI that holds the key to everything. But with every step, the line between reality and illusion blurs—each move he makes seems to play into the hands of the malevolent forces that control it all. In the fight to uncover the truth and save humanity, Aiden will have to decide: is he a hero, or is he just another pawn in a game he doesn’t understand? But when the virtual world begins to merge with reality... Will Aiden be able to stop Malrik before it’s too late? Or will the game consume him entirely? The countdown has begun. The question is... who will survive the game?

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.

The monochromatic colors of this world that I'm trapped with. The longing in my heart that wants to achieve a boundless color of life that fills someone with happiness. To the voice that whispers to me in the very corner of my room. Divulge with secrets that I don't know. Giving me joy from this sadness alone. The steps it gave beyond worlds. To embrace a new world of longing dream. To find something beyond happiness.  To achieve all this happiness. "I'll repress the old me and reach a new world filled with the smile I longed for."

I replaced his father to go to jail. The marriage I wanted didn't happen. He who loved me finally left me.  It was too late for them to come back by my side with the new me, the untouchable. I had come out on top among all. 

The story is about the adventures of fifty students in senior high, they traveled from a world controlled by machines into the past, the time of the start of the apocalypse, and they got stuck there. they will face many troubles in adapting to the new life, make new friends and enemies, and amidst all that, they will rediscover themselves, the loving ones might leave each other at some point and return afterwards, or continue forever with new ones or alone. Though they came from future, they would be separated into ones supporting and ones against the rebellion machines are starting, which will add more complexity to the events and more suspense and action. I hope you like the mix I made here, as I always wanted to read something like real drama but in a sci-fi cloak, hoping I achieved it here. I'm waiting for your reviews and comments, and I'm sure you won't be disappointed :D Updating Schedule: 3 Chapters daily.

"Do you regret it? Regret your cruel decision?" "Yes, I do regret it," Charlotte cried. She truly regretted pushing away her dearest love, regretted doubting him, regretted not realizing her feelings sooner. In this life, the most painful thing is not never having it, but having it and then losing it. The man she loved was Joseph. A strong, capable man, the heir of the wealthy William family. He possessed extraordinary skills and unmatched medical talent. His strength surpassed the imagination of an ordinary person. Being born into such wealth didn't guarantee happiness; Joseph's father didn't love his mother, and he was indirectly responsible for her departure. That was why Joseph left, to the beautiful land of Crepuscolo. And it was there he married a girl named Charlotte. Joseph's life in Crepuscolo wasn't as peaceful as it seemed. He still carried great responsibilities, including saving the elderly caretaker who had looked after him since childhood. He had to gather enough resources, but in doing so, he was drawn into the whirlwind of hatred, intrigue, and schemes. "The most terrifying thing in this world is not snakes, but human hearts."

Daniel wasn't your everyday nobody. His life transitioned from that of a loser to that of a winner after being bitten by some bastard. "You're my perfect successor." "My ass..." It turns out it was a curse... from that moment on Daniel became a vampire, a loser that suddenly became a vampire, sounds sort of cliche if not for the beatings that he received in the streets, struggling to get some 'food' until he gained enough experience to control his powers. Apparently, after becoming a winner, getting a few girlfriends and transforming his own experience by a hundred and eighty degrees, life seemed to not be quite done with him yet. After a series of unfortunate occurrences, Daniel found himself in a mad new world with a new name, and certainly a new family of sorts. ** ** "You're..." "I'm your Demon Empress, my cute familiar, make me something to eat~" "w-wait where are you touching?! a-and you're..." "I'm the first familiar, a Kitsune..." "... a what? forget it... you?" "I'll introduce myself, I'm the second familiar, an Octopus~ my belly is rumbling!" "How many tentacles do you have?" "Don't pay attention to her! I'm the third familiar, an Oni! and I have two horns and I'm hungry!" "I can't see the other... hold up... what is that moving goo?!" "I'm a slime... please don't slip on me, also, I'm hungry." "Why are you all hungry!?" "My sweet familiar, here is your first task... cook me something delicious." "Like what?" "I wonder how vampires taste~" "..." ** ** #romance, #harem, #action, #system, #tournaments, #overpowered, #R18, #vampires, #demons, #magic, #strongToStronger, #slimegirl, #octopusgirl, #demongirl, #kitsunegirl, #evolution

I’m Gareth Wells, which simply means Gentle Spring. I died in my first life full of regrets, pain, sadness, and sorrows, but now I’ll not be the gentle spring but the storm that will take everyone who looked down, insulted, and made my hellish life bow down to me.

" Finally, I have found you guys" he paused before he continued " After hunting for you all this while, you guys can't escape any longer" " Who are you? And why have you been hunting for us?" I asked him while watching his every move " You don't need to know who I am but I was hunting for you because you are the key, the key that was hidden for sixteen years. THE SECRET KEY I burst out laughing "What's funny?" He asked puzzled " We don't know what you are saying about Hyacinth being the secret key but you are forgetting something very important" "What is that?" " We are the HUNTERS NOT THE HUNTED"

The “System” he left with his legacy gives me skills I desperately need but at a cost agonizing pain that feels like it’s tearing me apart from the inside. And now, as I stand alone, surrounded by powerful enemies who want me destroyed, I realize that inheriting billions might be the thing that finally breaks me.
