Game Over? Não Para Mim

Siete años juntos con Carlos, siete años de rumores nunca confirmados.​​ Él me dejaba revisar su celular sin objeciones, reportaba cada viaje de negocios con detalles. Nunca encontré una sola prueba de infidelidad. Hasta el día de nuestra boda. Después de que el presentador narró cómo Carlos voló desde el extranjero mis rosas blancas favoritas, la pantalla gigante que debía mostrar nuestro video de siete años, de repente transmitió el llanto desgarrador de un bebé. ​​En el video, Carlos sostenía a un bebé recién nacido en una sala de hospital. Su secretaria, Serena, recostada en su hombro, usando un anillo de diamantes idéntico al mío.​​ Serena corrió hacia mí con lágrimas que era solo un malentendido, y Carlos, con tono frío: —Es una madre soltera, la ayudé por compasión como su jefe, ¿vas a hacer escándalo por esto? El silencio en el salón fue absoluto, todos esperaban mi explosión. Luego me quité tranquilamente el anillo de compromiso y se lo devolví: —Por supuesto que no. Les deseo felicidad.

My coworkers and I are forcibly dragged into a bizarre game with the initial title displayed as "War of the Plants". Everyone crowds around to choose camps or safe houses with abundant water resources. I am the only one who picks a plastic apartment in the desert with no water or electricity. My female supervisor mocks me in front of everyone, saying I must be out of my mind. No one is willing to team up with me, and they even bet I won't last three days. When choosing abilities, everyone rushes for practical powers like spatial storage or metal control. I, however, choose reverse photosynthesis that allows me to gain energy from air humidity. Everyone immediately mutes me in the game. Clearly, no one wants to hear my desperate cries for help later. But when the system revokes team permissions and administrator functions, everyone is stunned. The game's name is reset to "Magnet Apocalypse".

My wife went viral by copying someone else. After some netizens shamed her looks, she became obsessed with plastic surgery. Eventually, an illegal clinic tricked her into spending thirty thousand dollars, claiming they could make her into a celebrity. She even forced me to fund her dream by feeding our daughter pesticides. However, I knew that the clinic used implants from stolen corpses. Before long, her face would start to rot. I spent ages convincing her to choose a professional cosmetic hospital instead, saving her life. Later, though, her best friend became an internet star after undergoing plastic surgery. In comparison, my wife’s appearance had only improved slightly after the cosmetic treatment. In a fit of jealousy, she burned my daughter and me alive. “It’s your fault I couldn’t make it big! You deserve to die!” When I next opened my eyes, I returned to the day my wife asked me for money.

“I was kidnapped on my wedding day!” After she thought that she could escape her life back in Italy as the daughter of a powerful mafia Boss, she was happy to finally marry her high school sweetheart.

With no choice but to marry Salvador, a ruthless and sadistic Mexican mafia boss who was twice her age, Marcella finds herself in a desperate situation. On the night of their wedding, Salvador tries to get intimate, but Marcella refuses. In a fit of rage, he assaults her, forcing himself upon her. In an act of self-defense, Marcella ends up killing him. As the news of Marcella's killing of the mafia boss spread, she was forced to run for her life, with his gangs in hot pursuit. With nowhere to hide and a kill warrant issued for her in the entire mafia world, she ran into the arms of Antonio, a Russian mafia boss known as a Bratva. He offered to help and protect her, but only under the condition that she sign a contract to be his mistress. With the knowledge that her life was in danger after killing a powerful man, Marcella knew her options were limited. What does Antonio truly want from her? Will he bite? "You are mine now, Marcella. Daddy's Good Girl"

Depois de ser demitida da empresa, voltei para o interior e, todos os dias, ia jogar dominó com a minha avó. Mas, de repente, minha família inteira parecia ter enlouquecido e estava me procurando por toda parte. Tudo porque, depois que fui embora, minha irmã, a genial designer de joias, não conseguia mais criar nenhum esboço. Na vida anterior, durante o Concurso Nacional de Design de Joias, minha irmã sempre conseguia apresentar antes de mim um rascunho idêntico ao meu. Todos acreditavam que eu plagiava, até mesmo minha família se levantou para testemunhar a favor dela. A empresa concluiu que eu tinha má conduta e havia copiado obras, causando danos à reputação deles; me demitiram na hora e ainda exigiram que eu pagasse uma indenização gigantesca. E minha família passou a me ver como um fardo, me expulsando de casa. Sob a pressão do afeto familiar destruído e da opinião pública, desenvolvi depressão e, caminhando pela rua, fui atropelada por um fã da minha irmã. Antes que minha consciência se dissipasse, eu ainda não entendia por que minha irmã sempre conseguia apresentar um desenho igual ao meu antes de mim. Quando abri os olhos novamente, tinha voltado para o dia anterior ao Concurso Nacional de Design de Joias.

Eu mantive um relacionamento por sete anos com o melhor amigo do meu irmão mais velho, o Alfa Alexander Parker. Mas o nosso relacionamento sempre ficou escondido nas sombras. Depois de beber aguardente demais numa noite, Alexander ficou completamente bêbado e me disse: — Willow, a Stella está com um filhote agora. Se ela não tiver um companheiro, os anciãos vão expulsá-la da alcateia. Tudo bem se eu der a ela a posição de Luna por enquanto? Num tom calmo e dócil, respondi: — Tudo bem. Na minha vida anterior, eu não aceitei a sugestão de Alexander. Também insisti em realizar a cerimônia de acasalamento com ele. Enquanto isso, a barriga de Stella Lockhart continuou crescendo com o passar das semanas. No fim, ela já não conseguia mais esconder. Enfurecidos, os anciãos, acabaram expulsando-a da alcateia. Depois que Stella foi embora, Alexander nunca mais voltou para casa, nem me dirigiu uma única palavra. Eu sabia que ele colocava toda a culpa em mim. Algum tempo depois, morri consumida pela culpa e pela depressão. Quando eu estava prestes a fechar os olhos, vi Alexander invadindo meu quarto, alarmado. Stella, que supostamente tinha sido expulsa da alcateia, vinha logo atrás dele, com um filhote nos braços. Foi então que eu finalmente entendi que, apesar de Alexander ter salvado Stella, ele nunca foi o companheiro mais adequado para mim. Agora que renasci, não recusei a sugestão dele. Em vez disso, decidi cortar completamente todos os laços entre nós, para que ele e Stella pudessem viver felizes para sempre.

On the third day of attempting to conquer Blake Stone's heart, he confesses his feelings to me. But the thing is, the affection meter displayed above his head shows the number "0". After we start dating, Blake pampers me to no end. He even proposes to me in a grand fashion on our sixth year anniversary. With tears in my eyes, I'm about to nod when I see a range of comments floating across my vision. [Blake must be exhausted from all the acting, huh? He has to reel in his disgust and keep up the act with Joanna for six years in order to protect Keira from her.] [That idiotic replacement actually got so immersed in this act! I'm laughing my ass off right now!] It's as though my blood had transformed into ice. No wonder the number never changed throughout the years. At the same time, the system's icy voice rings out in my mind. "The final phase is now activated. The countdown to the time left to conquer your target's heart has started. You have ten days left. If you fail, you'll be wiped out from this world." I just smile as I draw back my hand that was about to wear his ring. Then, I wipe my tears away. "I'm sorry, but I'm sick and tired of this stupid strategy game."

Angie woke up in the morning, finding herself in a strange place, with a man beside her, and without a single piece of clothing. It was bad luck for her when Mike, the man she had supposedly spent the night with—the only son of the head of the black organization "The Black Venom"—approached again and handed her a contract that would turn her life upside down. "Sign it and marry me, or die." Then, like riding a roller coaster, Angie tried to survive the fake marriage. It was only two years, but a big secret was uncovered, making the remaining time a living hell—not only for Angie but also for Mike.

Había estado en una relación con el mejor amigo de mi hermano mayor, el Alfa Alexander Parker, durante siete años. Pero hay un giro: esta relación era secreta. Un día, después de haber bebido demasiado licor de luna, Alexander me dijo borracho: —Willow, Stella ahora tiene un cachorro. Si no tiene compañero, será expulsada de la manada por los ancianos. ¿Está bien si le doy el puesto de Luna por ahora? Con un tono calmado y dócil, respondí: —Está bien. En mi vida anterior, no estuve de acuerdo con la sugerencia de Alexander. También insistí en celebrar la ceremonia de emparejamiento con él. Mientras tanto, el vientre de Stella Lockhart siguió creciendo a medida que pasaban las semanas. Al final, ya no pudo ocultarlo más. Los ancianos, enfurecidos, finalmente la expulsaron de la manada. Después de que Stella se fue, Alexander dejó de volver a casa y tampoco me dirigió ni una sola palabra. Sabía que me culpaba de todo. Tiempo después, morí consumida por la culpa y la depresión. Cuando estaba a punto de cerrar los ojos, vi a Alexander entrar corriendo a mi habitación, alarmado. Stella, que se suponía había sido expulsada de la manada, lo seguía con un cachorro en brazos. Fue entonces cuando finalmente comprendí que, aunque Alexander era el salvador de Stella, él nunca fue el compañero más adecuado para mí. Ahora que había renacido, no rechacé su sugerencia. En cambio, decidí cortar todo lazo con él para que él y Stella pudieran vivir felices para siempre.
