Imagine being a 65 years old sorcerer, terminally ill, nerdy, your life filled with "what could have been," and then getting a chance to start over. That's what happens to Adom Sylla, a man haunted by his unfulfilled dreams and overshadowed by the achievements of those around him. From his unrequited loves who ascend to power, to peers who outshine him at every turn, Adom's life is a tale of quiet despair.... more>>

Adom takes it, skeptically, only to wake up and find his wish granted. He's young again, in a world brimming with magic, fraught with danger, ripe for the taking.

But here's the twist - he goes back, yes, but only to discover it's more than he bargained for. Ever wondered what it's like to get everything you wanted, only to wish you hadn't? This is a story like that..

Felice Rivers would call himself many things: handsome, smart, brave... cursed. He didn't believe he was cursed at first, which was stupid of him since he was someone who could give Murphy's Law a run for its money. Anything that could go wrong would go wrong; it was basically the slogan of his life.... more>>

So, it came as no surprise that at his happiest moment, he was struck down and transported to a strange, nightmarish realm. This place was nothing like the world he knew; instead of familiar streets and buildings, there were haunted mansions, dark forests, and lurking terrors. It was like something out of a horror movie.

He really wanted to go home. Although he had watched video edits of truck-kun, he never expected it to come after him.

Luckily, or should he say unluckily, his perpetual bad luck somehow transformed into a strange kind of superpower in this realm. Stable floorboards would break open to reveal escape routes when he stepped on them, traps malfunctioned, sparing him, and so on.

Who would've thought that being the unluckiest person alive could be an asset? Certainly not him. It even led him to stumble upon love.

When Xu Yue, Qingfeng High’s top student, becomes the target of the school’s notorious queen bee, Li Miao, she braces herself for another year of torment. But an unexpected slip (literally) changes everything for Li Miao, who wakes up with memories of a past life as a fan of the very story they're living. Suddenly determined to rewrite her villainous role, Li Miao vows to become Xu Yue's most unlikely ally and biggest supporter while trying to nudge her towards the school's golden boy, Zhang Wei. But fate, it seems, has a different plan, and Xu Yue wonders if the person she needs isn’t the hero of the story but the villainess herself.... more>>

Li Miao: "Why am I suddenly the villainess in a novel?!"

Xu Yue: “Why is she acting so strange… maybe the doctors missed something when they checked her head.”

Later:

Li Miao with sparkles in her eyes: “Xu Yue and Zhang Wei are a match made in heaven! I’ll help bring them together so my fav can be happy.”

Xu Yue watching Li Miao: “She… she’s kind of cute.”

A bit after:

Li Miao: “Xu Yue, I promise to make you happy!”

Xu Yue: “You already make me happy.”

Finally:

Li Miao: “Wuwu, Xu Yue you bully! Why are you messing with me instead of cozying up to the male lead?!”

Xu Yue while firmly hugging Li Miao and preventing her escape: “Maomao I missed you~”

Everyone else, including Zhang Wei, eating popcorn: “Isn’t it obvious? She’s pursuing her wife.”

In a world where happy endings seem pre-written, this is a testament to the unexpected scripts we author through the trials of growing up. It proves that the most genuine stories emerge from rewriting the roles life assigns us.

Initially a Kpop fanfic.

Fictional S. Korea. Everything is fictional.

I have a weak foundation in writing, I started out as a school paper's sports writer, so I struggle to expand paragraphs since I was taught news need to be terse and direct to the point. Then fanfiction, with fanfictions there are already audience who know about some aspects of the fanfic. There are ready-made settings and characters which I don't need to describe and introduce to the readers since they already know. So writing descriptions, is also a struggle fo me.

Very childish, full of mistakes (grammar, spelling, and loopholes) and cringe-worthy cliches.

Picking it up again and hoping to finish this time after a long hiatus. Earlier parts were written years ago so they are very dated 😂 <<less
