Because It's My First Life Novels & Stories

It was thrilling, having every ounce of his attention, knowing I was his main focus and even our surroundings couldn’t take that away. I took a deep breath and let it out slowly, mulling over what to say. “I feel like, for the first time in my life, I don’t have to focus on just surviving. I can actually live my life the way I want to and experience things I’ve missed out on. While I still have that instinct to survive, I can kind of let go of some of that and… live. “Plus, you’re the first man that I’ve found myself interested in.”

"The World-Tree doesn't just grow in the light—it grows in the Decision to be Un-Killable by the One who gave you Life!" The realization hit me with the force of a hundred and seventeen chapters. My father thought he could delete me because he thought he was the "Source" of my life. He thought he owned my existence because he was the one who had "Authorized" my birth. But he forgot that the Origin didn't start with a father—it started with the First Breath that no one asked permission to take. I didn't reach for the sunset-gold fire. I reached for the Original Noise.

The car's engines roared to life, and in turn, so did my new life. My purpose. So why did this feel like the beginning of an end?

Damn, I'm jealous of my life, I don't want to die, I have dreams, ambitions, desires, and a love that I want to stay with. I frowned before pulling myself together. I know it's downright disgusting what I decided but I am a person without morals, so no one blames me for thinking of myself first. The world may crumble, and the others may well all die but I have to stay alive, for my parents who were so cowardly murdered, for me who wants to live and enjoy all that life has to offer but especially for him.

Tears dripped down my face because I owed him a lot, I owed him my life, he is the reason I am still on this earth IRENE. “ I don’t know what to say about you because you are the best thing that ever happened in my life even though I hated you at first during our first meeting but our bond was a bond from heaven, you are the best daddy, husband, a man who fights for his woman, a man who fights for his kids, the man who isn’t afraid to die for me and our kids, I might be your wife but I can never pay things you have done in my life, I owed my life to you.

I blurted out, revealing something I shouldn't have told. Lilith's brows furrowed, and her eyes narrowed to seek more truth. "What do you mean by before?" A sigh escaped my lips, knowing it was time to reveal everything. "There's something I haven't told you. I know you might not believe this, but this life is my second life. The first one, I guess, failed because I died, and then I traveled back in this year." Her mouth opened, eyes rounding as shock plastered on her expression. "You mean you were reborn?"

Our world is doing much better and we no longer risk extinction. I would have never of thought that my little rebellious act by going into the woods would have lead me on this wonderful adventure that is my life. I’m happy, so very happy, which something I never thought I would have. I lived the first half of my life in fear and now I don’t have to.

“Take care of myself?” Shaking my head, those words seem so damn selfish, even from his lips. I lived my first life for myself and the only highlight near the end was that pregnancy I had found out about and even then, I knew I wouldn’t live long enough to reap the benefits of it later. Frankly, I fucked up my first life living for my own selfish needs. Never again.

I woke in bed to see the day had broken. It was finally Monday, and a part of me wished this day wouldn’t come because I knew what it meant. Monday meant returning to our normal lives. This life, although brief, felt more real than anything I’ve ever experienced in all my twenty-one years of existence. It made sense why I didn’t want to let it go.

" Okay, Jeremy, face the real world, and stop day dreaming. Only the strong survive and the weak go to hell, and he was just trying to help the students in school to make them prepare to face the outside world from our small school society." " And moreover, he is not a playboy. He was just finding his life partner and that's why I am here". What a stupid idea to think like that and defend the stranger instead of listening to her own brother. I didn't say anymore because I know that my words would vanish in air and she won't take it to your heart. And we get back home. " Hello mom, we are home," " Oh my sweethearts, how was the match," my mother greeted and waited for our reply with excitemen
