For a few moments, it was peaceful. The world faded, and the weight on her chest seemed to lift. But unfortunately, the warm reprieve was short-lived.

Her mind was suddenly dragged deeper into the darkness, an abyss that stretched endlessly in every direction. She opened her eyes-or at least she thought she did-and found herself floating in the void. Something about her floating in the air like that had her feeling like déjà vu. The air was thick, and an oppressive chill settled over her, raising goosebumps along her arms.

Her voice echoed when she spoke, "Where... where am I?"

No one answered.

She reappeared, and the response was still the same as earlier. No one replied. Just her echo.

The stillness was suffocating, the silence deafening. Just as she thought the darkness might swallow her whole, flashes of light erupted around her, blinding and chaotic.

Scenes began to form, vivid and jarring.

And there it was-her own lifeless body sprawled on the cold, unforgiving pavement, limbs

  • The Revenge of the Reincarnated Villainess   Twenty three: A Dress Too Short For Tradition

    The house of Vasquez was bathed in the golden glow of the setting sun, the sky, painted in hues of deep orange and indigo. By the time Carmen had returned from the boutique, the hallways of the palace were dimly lit with lanterns and glowing crystals and chandeliers, casting flickering shadows along the walls.The servants bowed as she passed, but their eyes lingered, filled with curiosity, but mostly, confusion. Word had spread. The tailors at the boutique were quite fast at spreading this news. The young lady of the house, in a coma for days, had not only woken up but was seen purchasing garments that no noblewoman of her standing would ever dare wear. Carmen paid them no mind. She climbed the grand staircase with measured, practiced steps, her thoughts running elsewhere.Keila and Ipu were hurrying to get to her chambers, their expressions hovering between excitement and apprehension. They hadn't even gotten to the palace yet and people in the palace already knew about the atrocit

    The study was dimly lit, the scent of old parchment and burning cedar filling the air. Heavy bookshelves and vases lined the walls, their spines gilded with gold and ruby, proof of centuries of knowledge and wealth passed down through the Ruiz lineage. At the center of the room stood Lord Michael Ruiz, dressed in a dark navy tunic, his broad shoulders squared as he leaned slightly over his father's massive mahogany desk, which was soon going to be his once he took over as Duke the day he marries Lady Daphne. Only the thought of getting married to her made his mood bitter. Seated across from him was Duke Cyril Ruiz, his father, a man whose once blonde hair had begun to gray at the temples and brows. His face was carved with the weight of all his years of ruling and leading his people, his deep-blue eyes reflecting both wisdom and exhaustion as he studied his son intently. His wish wasn't to put his son in a loveless marriage. But with the way the situation of the empire was moving wei

    The carriage rolled to a smooth halt in front of Valeria's finest boutique, its golden crest shimmering under the hot, afternoon sun. A guard swiftly dismounted and approached the carriage, his polished black boots clicking against the cobblestone street. He extended a hand, bowing deeply as he reached for the door. As he opened it, the entire street seemed to pause. Conversations quieted, footsteps faltered as all eyes turned towards the carriage which had just stopped. Everyone recognized who that particular carriage belonged to. It was no news. Heads turned as whispers rippled through the crowd like a stone thrown into a still pond."Lady Daphne is here!" someone murmured."Look, everyone! It's Lady Daphne!" another gasped, pointing discreetly. "What is she doing here?" another asked. "I bet that poor shopkeeper is in trouble," another scoffed.People exchanged wide-eyed glances, their hushed voices barely concealing their curiosity and animosity. The infamous Lady Daphne had a

    "My lady, are you alright?" Ipu's voice trembled with concern as she leaned closer, her face pale and her wide-eyes filled with worry. Ever since Lady Daphne had woken up from her fall, everything had felt so off and out of place. The lady wasn't her usual sharp-tongued, demanding, spoiled self. It was as though she had fallen into a distant, lost world only she could see. She didn't know what was going on, but she could tell something was really, really wrong. But then, she was just a maid. Who was she to interfere in the decisions and lives of royalties? For the past twenty minutes, Ipu and Keila had been calling her name, pleading for some kind of response, but Lady Daphne hadn't uttered a single word. She simply sat there, staring into space, her expression unreadable, her breathing steady but shallow."My lady, please," Keila chimed in, her small hands clasped nervously together, the tremor in her voice betraying the panic welling up. She glanced at Ipu for guidance, her youthfu

  • The Revenge of the Reincarnated Villainess   Nineteen: Lady Daphne of Valeria

    Valeria was a kingdom of breathtaking splendor-a land of rolling emerald hills, sparkling rivers, and a towering castle that pierced the sky like a shard of silver. It was also a kingdom ruled by fear and whispers, much of it attributed to its sharp-tongued, unrelenting, and ruthlessly ambitious princess, Lady Daphne Vasquez.Lady Daphne was the embodiment of power and elegance, her beauty was cold and untouchable as the winter moon. She was the eldest daughter of Lord Alaric Vasquez, ruler of Valeria, and her reputation preceded her like an evil shadow. Known for her ruthlessness, sharp wit and icy demeanor, Daphne had earned a reputation as one of the most feared ladies in the kingdom. Servants scurried at her approach, her name sent shivers through court gossip, and even the nobles avoided crossing her path.Yet beneath her composed exterior, a storm brewed-a tempest of obsession, insecurity, and unyielding desire for one man: Lord Michael Ruiz, heir to the duchy of Ferinwald.

    Carmen hesitated, her gaze darting around the chamber. She had no idea where she was or how she had gotten there, but something about Nyx's presence made her stay. The woman had such a scary aura about her and even if she wanted to move, the power emanating from this lady kept her rooted to the spot. Slowly, she nodded.Nyx's smile widened, though it didn't reach her eyes. "You are no longer in your world, Carmen. When you died, the vortex you saw transported you here, to a realm beyond your comprehension. This is the world of your favorite manga."Carmen blinked, the words taking a moment to register. What does this woman mean by being transported to a manga? "My... manga?" She asked, confused. Because there was no way in hell this woman was saying what she was actually thinking because that would be a crazy theory.Nyx nodded. "The story you read so often, the one that consumed your thoughts. "Eclipsed Fates" You've been transported into that world. But you are no longer Carmen. Her
