Game Over? Não Para Mim

My best friend, Sydney Cox, is a troublemaker by nature. She thinks everyone around her owes her a good life. During summer break, she insisted on working in a factory. I was worried that she might get tricked, so I let her work in my family's factory out of the kindness of my own heart. In fact, I even gave her the easiest position with the lightest work. But I didn't expect her to think that her salary was lower than that of the veteran employees in the factory, leading to her setting fire to my neighborhood. The blaze was far too strong. Even though the firefighters came as soon as possible, my family and I still ended up dying in the fire. When I open my eyes again, I've returned to the day before Sydney's first day in a factory.

Année 2279. La planète s’apprête à traverser une crise sociale et environnementale sans précédent. Les inégalités de classes entre les Éternels et les Éphémères atteignent leur paroxysme. L’ère de l’immortalité touche à sa fin, embarquant les populations dans un tourbillon d’interrogations, et les dirigeants dans des stratagèmes où l’éthique n’a pas sa place. Deux personnages occuperont un rôle crucial à l’aube de ce nouveau pan de l’Histoire. D’un côté Harold, usé par ses relations familiales et des capacités qui le dépassent, de l’autre Jeanne, frustrée par son extraordinaire absence de facultés. Au coeur de la forêt primaire, aux côtés de la dernière tribu libre du monde, tous deux s’appuieront sur la Nature et le Vivant pour trouver des réponses à leur quête de sens. Un roman d’aventure qui rend hommage à tous les opprimés, ces Silencieux qui n’en pensent pas moins. Cette histoire se déroule chronologiquement après « Les Éphémères sont éternels ». Pour autant, les deux livres peuvent se lire indépendamment et dans l’ordre qui vous plaira.

The night of our engagement party, I found my best friend playing a dangerous game with my fiancé. The casino on our family's private yacht was where I found them. Clara was sitting on the lap of my fiancé, Killian, the Falcone family heir. Killian held a sharp family dagger, its tip snagging the thin strap of her dress. The blade traced a path along her collarbone. The slightest pressure would snap the silk. It was a dangerous, intimate scene. I stepped forward with a frown, but Killian just scoffed. "It's just a little game to liven things up, Principessa. Don't be so tense." Clara's eyes narrowed, her voice dripping with false sweetness. "We're just playing a traditional family game. The knife game. You don't mind, do you, sweetie?" I was about to speak, but Killian's expression hardened. "We just got engaged and you're already trying to control me?" So I said nothing. I just drew my custom pistol from its holster on my thigh. "So, it's a game," I said. "Then let's play for something real."

Meu marido, o comandante, prometeu acompanhar a ex quando ela entrasse em crise. Só noventa e nove vezes. Mas, quando completei a contagem das noventa e nove, vi os dois abraçados com força. Depois disso, parei de chorar e de tentar impedir que ele fosse encontrar ela. Apenas pedi o escapulário como presente para o filho que estava prestes a nascer. Ao ouvir falar da criança, a expressão dele ficou um pouco mais suave: — Quando eu voltar, vou com você ao hospital fazer o pré-natal. Assenti, obediente. Não contei a ele que, dez dias atrás, protocolei o pedido de divórcio. Agora nós já estamos divorciados.

Eu e meu marido, Bernardo Santos, estamos casados há oito anos. Durante esse tempo, ele trouxe 99 mulheres pra casa. Agora, estou olhando pra centésima garota. Ela me encara com provocação e, virando-se pra ele, pergunta: — Sr. Bernardo, é essa aqui sua esposa inútil? Bernardo, jogado na cadeira, responde com preguiça: — É ela, sim. A garota caminha até mim, dá um tapinha no meu rosto e diz com um sorriso: — Hoje à noite, você vai ouvir o que é uma mulher de verdade na cama! Naquela noite, fui obrigada a passar horas na sala ouvindo gemidos. Na manhã seguinte, Bernardo, como sempre, mandou que eu fizesse o café da manhã. Mas dessa vez, eu recusei. Ele parece ter esquecido que nosso casamento é só um acordo. E hoje faltam três dias pra esse acordo acabar.
