The keeper locks what cannot be unleashed onto the world.

In the mundane world of 18-year-old Ashley, life is nothing more than a series of monotonous routines, and the only escape she finds is in the pages of fantasy web novels. Daydreaming about living in the enchanted realms she reads about, she longs for adventure and excitement that her ordinary existence sorely lacks.... more>>

However, fate takes an unexpected turn one fateful day when Ashley meets a tragic end. She wakes up in her home with no memory of the event. Setting about as if nothing were amiss, she went through her daily routine, which was interrupted in dramatic fashion. To her bewilderment, Ashley is offered a chance at a second life. The gods have devised a grand amusement, an elaborate game where souls are granted the opportunity to be reborn, but only after proving their worth. In this mystical Tower, she must participate in challenges that mirror the plots of her beloved web novels, facing trials of courage, wisdom, and compassion.

As she delves deeper into this fantastical world, Ashley begins to unravel hidden truths about her past life and discovers the strength and courage she never knew she possessed. However, with each challenge, the boundaries between the afterlife and reality blur, forcing Ashley to question what is real and what is merely a creation for the gods' amusement.

Anthony's life crumbles after the devastating loss of his girlfriend. Grief tightens its grip, leading him into the depths of depression. Yet, fate takes an extraordinary twist when his grief leads him to suicide. Instead of an eternal slumber, he finds himself amidst the Trial of the Gods, a surreal realm where departed souls are offered a chance at rebirth.

As Anthony navigates this enigmatic afterlife, he encounters an opportunity to mend the frayed pieces of his existence. The gods unveil a second chance, a lifeline, urging him to forge anew. The trial grants him a choice: to embrace the challenge and embark on another journey of life, or to linger in sorrow forever.

However, a whisper shrouded in mystery reaches his ears—a tale of someone hauntingly similar to his deceased girlfriend, a revelation that shakes his understanding of reality. Doubt tugs at the corners of his mind as he sets out on a quest to uncover the truth. In the midst of divine trials and celestial wonders, Anthony must confront his demons and unravel the layers of a world where souls are given a shot at redemption.

"The Trial at the End of Time" is a poignant exploration of grief, resilience, and the human spirit's capacity to find hope in the most unexpected of places. As Anthony navigates the trials, he not only fights for a new lease on life but also learns that the road to healing can be paved with surprising twists, a few celestial secrets, and the promise of a fresh beginning.

(Note; I originally wrote this story when I first started writing seriously years ago, and was in the process of rewriting it. I have a total of three chapters and one bonus chapter complete. With a total word count of 23,761. I believe I have improved my writing skills since I edited and rewrote these chapters, and I plan on returning to this story now. I thought the best chance I'd have at continuing my first real novel, is to release the already finish chapters and see what everyone thinks? So please, let me know what you think!)
The name of this story is up in the air! I like it, I feel it is better then the original name I had. (Tellus; A Reluctant Hero) Which is better?

(I'll be releasing each chapter as soon as they are available. Due to copy/pasting here removes Italics, that I use for thoughts and mind to mind conversations, I need to ensure the formatting is correct each chapter. I'm too much of a perfectionist at times. ＼（〇_ｏ）／)
