Karma is like a boomerang, what you give out would always come back to you. Bullshit. Absolute bullshit. Karma doesn't reciprocate what you give. She just gives. Indifferent to the consequence of her biased distributions. Why else would I be at the receiving end of a punishment I don't warrant? I've been beaten, belittled and my wings were clipped off by the person meant to teach me how to fly. And yet, I can't bring myself to hate those who have wronged me. For I'm nothing but a victim of ill fate and twisted vengeance. But would I ever get what I truly deserve? Or would karma keep being a bitch and forget that she owes me?

On the day my husband married my younger sister, I once again heard the divine message from the Astral Sanctuary: if I sever all ties to the mortal world within three days, I can reclaim the astral power I relinquished and return to the Astral Sanctuary. On the first day, I publicly cut my hair to symbolize the severing of love and signed the separation letter, ending my three-year marriage to the man I once loved. Holding my sister in his arms, he looked at me with disdain. His words dripped with mockery as he called me petty and jealous, claiming that sparing me the title of an equal wife had been his greatest act of kindness. On the second day, I drove a blade into myself six times, severing my bond with my cherished elder brother. He stood by, cold and unfeeling, sneering that I was nothing more than a desperate fool, resorting to theatrics to compete for his affection—a devotion he reserved entirely for my sister. On the third day, I clenched my teeth and carved through my own flesh and bone, severing my connection to the parents who had given me life. Enraged, they called me ungrateful and declared I was unworthy—not just of being their daughter, but even of being compared to my perfect sister. In the end, I succumbed to exhaustion and blood loss. My spirit ascended to the Astral Sanctuary, where I reclaimed my true identity as an Astral Maiden. When my family discovered my lifeless body left behind in the mortal realm, they all descended into madness.

"คุณ! ข่มขืนฉัน!" "ฉันไปทำเธอตอนไหน?" "ตอนไหนเหรอ ก็เมื่อคืนไงไอ้คนทุเรศ!" "เมื่อคืนฉันเมาเละ อย่ามาใช้มุกตื้น ๆ จับฉันมันไม่สำเร็จ" "จับบ้าอะไรฮะ ฉันโดนข่มขืนฉันเสียหายนะไอ้ชั่ว" "ก็บอกว่าไม่ได้ทำไงวะ" "เมาเหมือนหมาแล้วจำไม่ได้ว่าข่มขืนผู้หญิงเหรอ!" "ก็บอกว่าไม่ได้ทำไงวะ!" "ก็บอกว่าทำไงวะ!!"

100 years ago, amidst WW3's nuclear bombing, a deadly virus was released in the atmosphere and nearly wiping out the humanity. It lives inside the human brain thriving on the empathy receptors, leading to irrational behaviour and ultimately brain death. To slow the damage, scientists created L.O.V.E, short for Living Off Vital Emotions, a nanovaccine that numbs the virus and switches off all strong emotions. As a last resort and with a dying planet, the Supreme Government created the City, a place to contain the infected survivors suitable for the experiment. Those in the first stages of illness became ideal candidates to receive the neuroinhibitor. Having their feelings restrained and their memory altered, those who come of age are designated a life partner through a selection process, thus preserving the humankind. A few decades after the trial had started, scientists had a major breakthrough. The nanites, which are highly chemically reactive organisms, are changing their bio-engineered purpose when dopamine levels are high. With a new generation of nanoids, stronger and smarter to fight the battle, the virus doesn't have a chance. Many attempts were made to create a man-made version of synthetic dopamine and each time the outcome was a disaster. Their goal is to create new generations, immune to the virus. These are called Purebloods, the offsprings of those who find pure love, the only cure to save them from a violent death. Running out of time, the Experiment entered in its final stages. To minimize the threats, the Colonies have sent their best soldiers to oversee the trial and protect its key subjects. If only things were going according to plan, or better... stay hidden. With Iron Guard, the resistance outside the walls, hunting the Purebloods too, will the trial save human race before it's too late?

En vísperas de la boda, la noticia de que la amante del prometido había dado a luz se volvió un escándalo. Julian Espinoza no esperó a que yo lo confrontara y habló con indiferencia. —No fue más que un accidente. Tú encárgate primero de la fiesta de compromiso. —Además, tu papá está en fase terminal de cáncer de estómago. Cancelar la alianza ahora no le conviene a ninguna de las dos familias. Esa misma noche faltó a la cena de compromiso, pero en sus redes sociales subió la foto de un bebé envuelto en mantas. Cuando marqué una videollamada, apareció dándole de comer con un biberón al recién nacido. —Últimamente estoy cuidando al niño y no tengo tiempo para ti. Ya sabes, en mi familia solo queda una rama masculina, el hijo es prioridad. Limpió la leche de la comisura de los labios del bebé y añadió: —Pero tranquila, cuando cumpla el mes lo mando a Inglaterra. En las fiestas importantes basta con que te muestres como si fueras su madre. El lugar de señora de la familia Espinoza siempre será tuyo. Yo me quedé mirando el anillo en su dedo anular, idéntico al mío, y solté una risa. —Este compromiso queda anulado. Él bufó con frialdad: —Armas tanto escándalo por una tontería. No seas tan caprichosa. Colgué de golpe la videollamada y marqué al número privado de su padre. —Dicen que anda buscando nueva esposa, ¿por qué no me considera a mí? Acariciando mi vientre, solté una risa baja: —Después de todo, tengo facilidad para embarazarme; los hijos que usted quiera, se los puedo dar. Qué soledad la de una familia con un solo heredero. Yo misma le daré varios hermanos para que al menos haya ruido en la casa.

Das Unternehmen von Anna Krügers Vater stand kurz vor dem Bankrott. Daher verheiratete ihre Stiefmutter sie mit einem einflussreichen Mann – Felix Bauer. Das Problem: er lag im Koma. Alle warteten darauf, dass sie Witwe wurde und die Bauers sie vor die Tür setzten. Doch schon bald erwachte Felix unerwartet aus dem Koma. Nach seinem Erwachen war er voller Wut über die Zwangsehe, düster und gewalttätig: „Anna, selbst wenn du mein Kind erwartest, werde ich es mit meinen eigenen Händen töten!“ Vier Jahre später kehrte Anna mit ihren hochbegabten Zwillingen – einem Jungen und einem Mädchen, ins Land zurück. Sie zeigte auf Felix' Gesicht in einer Wirtschaftssendung und warnte ihre Kinder: „Haltet euch von diesem Mann fern. Er hat geschworen, euch beide umzubringen.“ Noch am selben Abend hackte sich einer der Zwillinge in Felix' Computer und hinterließ eine Kampfansage: „Du Mistkerl, komm und krieg mich doch, wenn du dich traust!“

My husband, Frank Myer, ruined himself by taking random medication and coming to me for treatment. I simply sneered at him and deliberately stalled for time, letting him end up disabled for life! In my previous life, my husband had purposely ruined himself to help his childhood sweetheart, Karen White, get promoted. I anxiously asked if he had taken anything harmful, but he swore he had not. When I asked him to do a full checkup, he accused me of having no ethics and claimed that I would even scam my own husband for a promotion. His childhood sweetheart insisted on a conservative treatment instead. I kicked out his unqualified sweetheart and performed the surgery myself. It was a total success, but she made a huge scene about it after feeling humiliated by being thrown out. She even threatened suicide. My husband was furious and lied that the surgery had failed, even reporting me for forcing him into surgery against medical advice, getting me blacklisted from the medical field. His sweetheart, however, simply dabbed some disinfectant on him, and he announced that she had cured him, instantly making her famous and earning her a promotion. When I confronted him, my husband said that if it weren't for me, he wouldn't have had to go to such lengths for her, and that I am the reason he was suffering. Then, he suffocated me with a pillow. But when I opened my eyes again, I was back to the very day he ruined himself.
